WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Admiral Walk
er's visit to Washington last week and bis
conference with Secretary Tracy has been
the source Of much conjecture and specu.
lation in navy circles. The idea that Ad-
miral Walker and Rear Admiral Harmony
are to succeed each other in their respective
positions as commander of the white
squadron and chairman of the lighthouse
board does not receive much credit at the
department It is generally thought that
Admiral Walkers visit was merely to dis
cuss the future movements Of the vessels
now on the Atlantic station. The white
squadron will probably remain home on
the home station with Admiral Walker n
command, while Admiral Gherardi will
proceed to the European station, with the
philadelphia as his flagship. accompanied
by the Concord aud Petrol. In such an
event the Baltimore will probably return
20 the home station or go TO China and be-
come the flagship of the Atlantic station
Vessels are greatly needed on the Pacific
station, and probably the Alliance will be
dispatched thither from the Asiatic station.

STRIKERS UNDER ARREST
Several Alleged Train Wrecker5
Apprehended at Albany.
]. ]. REED's ALLEGED CONFESSION

IL Is Said That He duplicates -Four STRIKE
ers In the castleton Anair-Prominent
knights sympathize with the Railroad
The Air Is Fun of Rumors.
.ALBANY, Sept. s--John J Reed, a brake
man residing at East Albany, has been ar
rested at Hudson charged with wrecking
the New York Central train near Castleton
Thursday night. II is said that be has CON
fessed his crime and has given the names
Of four companions, all Of whom. ii Is
said, are strikers. The greatest excitement
prevails here, and the strikers themselves
make threats against Reed He was
brought TO this city very quietly and is
thought TO be confined in the Central de-
pot, although Superintendent Bissell
says be is not Mr. Bissell when seen by
a United Press reporter, said. IL have
nothing to say and would prefer to have
things kept quiet Today may be day of
surprises"
How the Arrest Was Made.
Capt. Robert Pinkerton said: Nothing
can be said Just now. My men did not mp
prehend the man, and even il they had,
could not talk of the case.
''The facts are difficult to obtain. but Il
seems that as soon as the detectives went
to work they found traces of Reed. who Is
well known railroad man, his whole
family being in the business. He was
tracked TO Sehodiack and then TO Hudson.
and Saturday night one of the detectives
found him at a disrepuable house The
chief detective of the road clapped him on
the back and said, Reed we want you at
Albany
'who squcaled9"
Reed turned deathly pale, and said:
What, for that job at Castletoni Who
squealedr
He was at once locked up and was
brought here later"
Mr.. Bisselps reticence in the matter. Il
Is believed, arises from the fact that they
are trying TO got Reed to give the names Of
the others, and further rumoN say that
prominent knights of Labor are con
cerned. Master Workman Lee said today
that Reed was not striker. but had re-
fused TO go out with them In the late
trouble. He says that knights sympatbize
with the road and hope that all concerned
will be caught
Both Are Said to BE Knights.
Reed is unmarried and lives with his
mother at East Albany. He has been miss
ing ever since the night of the wreck AT
his home last night it was stated that he
was Knight Of Labor and striker. de.
spite the knights denial A man nanesl
Lone Miller, railroad man, a knight and
striker, has also been arrested al his
home in Greenbush Hollow on the charge
Of being one Of the wreckers. 1t is thought
that Reed has turned states evidence and
that this is the first fruit Of the evidence.
Other arrests are promised soon. No in
formation of any consequences can be OBJ
tanned from the railroad authorities.

its Pacific terminus at the magnificent port of San Diego, would not only supply fuel to all Southern California and nearly all of the Pacific sea coast, but would be the shortest, best and quickest transcontinental route for all the South American, Sandwich Islands and much of the Asiatic trade.
 Such line from San Diego up the Colorado to the Rio Virgin (excepting the mountain crossing just east of San Diego) can be built as cheaply as some of our Eastern lines across the plains.
 And still further the building of a railroad from the Rlo Virgin up through the Grand and other canyons of the Colorado to our extensive coal fields in this state is not only feasible and practicable but it can be built far more cheaply per mile than many already constructed roads.
 THE HUMBOLDT PROPHECY.
 With such road passing through the most wonderful mineral country that yet remains undeveloped, the prophecy of Humboldt that the precious metals to supply the world would some day come from the mountains of Arizona might soon be fulfilled. And with its low grades, easy alignment and perfect freedom from snow blockades, could be operated at so little cost as to bring the transportation of coal and iron down to a minimum.
 In conclusion let me say that when this railroad is once constructed it would in the course of few years have busines--a local business, I mean--on every division of it's line, not excepting any of the canyon portions, that would make some of our transcontinental railways green with envy and astonish- ment, to say nothing of passenger tourist business that would surpass them all.
