New York, Aug. 9.-The strike situ-
alton up to midnight was practically un-
changed. Among railroad men the be-
lief is almost unanimous that the
knights would remain obstinate unless
their demands we're acknowledged.
General Superintendent Toucey was
seen tonight. He had but little
new to add to the accounts al
ready given. He was of the opinion
that the strikers would weaken
and be glad to ask for reinstate-
ment. He declared that it would be
doubtful if they would be taken back,
as the places of the strikers were filled
during the afternoon. Mr.. Toucey said
that 200 men were put to work to-day.
They were all somewhat inexperienced,
but he thought that it would be but
short time when they would know their
duties. ALI of the trains arriving
at the Grand Central were late.
The Chicago limited left about two
hours behind time. The Boston express
was delayed three hours and forty-five
minutes. The fast mail pulled out at 9
o'clock, two hours late. Both the Chi
cago and Montreal express trains
were also delayed. The strike
reached the yards of the West Shore
depot at Weehawken at 7:40 tonight,
about IS men quitting work under the
leadership of Conductor Kane. Extra
men were at once assigned in the places
of the strikers. and the Western express
was detained only thirty-fve minutes.
The regular II o'clock freight train
went out on time. Trains ON the Harlem
and the New Haven road are running at
periods of from one to one and half
hours late. General Superintendent
Bradley. of the West Shore, stated at
midnight that everything at Weehaw-
ken was quiet and he did
Not Expect Any Trouble
during the night. He had just come
from conference with several officers
Of the road. At the bureau of informa-
tion in the Grand Central depot to-day
the following notices were posted:
From and after 2 p. m, the following
trains on the Hudson division will be run
according to schedule, excepting only city

The trains mentioned in the above
list were to run on the time given
both yesterday and to-day. Yesterday
the Troy ane Saratoga special Was forty
minutes late, Notwithstanding the Spe-
cial efforts made at the depot to get it
out on time. Not single freight train
left the yards to-day.and none arrived.
The force of men employed
in the yards is not competent to handle
the usual freight traffic of the road, but
yesterday they had very little to do. Mr..
Webb will make a strenuous effort to
run the freight trains on Monday, both
on the West Shore and New York Cen
tral.
I'VE will hold a meeting here to-mor-
morrow, Sunday" ,"Mr. Webb said to-day,
land decide what we will do in regard
to the freight trains. l think will
have men enough by Monday to get ev-
erything in good running order. /
am well satisfied with the way in
which the passenger trains were sent
out to-day and l do not think we'll have
any more difficulty with the freight
trains" j. j. Holland spent the most
of the day in the Grand Union hotel in
conference with the representative
strikers. He told the reporters that he
would not say anything about the prob
abilities for Monday beyond that the
men would fight hard. He could not
tell. he said, whether the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers would
Call Out Their Members
or not. There were many statements
made to-day regarding the number OF
men on strike. The men themselves
said there were 5000 or 1000, while the
railroad officials maintained there were

West Shore depot at Weehawker
reported for duty. On the bulletin
board at the station masters Office in the
depot were written several cabalistiC
signs, which the men studied with in
terest and then quietly went to work
At 7:40 O'Clock a locomotive whistle
rang rang out shrilly in the yard anC
fifty Of the ffty-fou1 switch
men left their posts, put OIL
their coats and walked to theil
house. This action left the yard almos
deserted. Preparations to meet tht
emergency we're Immediately made by
Chief Dispatcher Williams, and mel
were sent out to get the tracks in readi
ness for the despatching of the So
Buffalo express. This is the most i'm
portant train of the night, an(
crippled the road. AS none of the pas
Senger car brakemen had abandoned
their posts, this train was put off at
o'clock. Freight Conductor Kane, VIII
acted as spokesman for the strikin,
sWitchmen, told Yardmaster De Groo
that personally the men had no griey

out by the Knights of Labo
and obeyed. Chief Dispatcher William
told the men that they had better rt
main at their posts; if they did not the
could consider themselves
Out of the Service
of the road. This threat had no effeC
on the men. Four freight and tw
passenger trains were to have left Wee
hawken before midnight, and th
officials made every effort to gt
them out on time. The freigl
