PITTsBURG, December s.-The Situa-
tion on the Baltimore and Ohio road to-
night has become somewhat complicat-
ed owing to the action OF a largely at
tended meeting in this city tonight.
Representatives OF the different diyis-
ions OF the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Tralnmen, working on all roads in this
city, have been in secret session in a
hall on Penn Avenue all night. At II
o'clock member appeared long enough
to state that unless the thirty-seyon
men on strike at Glenwood on the Balti-
more and Ohio were reinstated and their
grievances adjusted, all the lines feeding
that road would strike.
The affair is hardly so bad ~ this.
however. as an appeal must first be-
made to the Executive Board OF the
Brotherhood, which will require some
time. Yardmaster Dietrich, OF Glen
wood, who is said to be the cause OF all
the trouble, became con seniently IN to-
day, and a man friendly TO the strikers
was appointed in his place. II Dietrich
has been discharged - compromise will
be effected II not some time will be-
necessary before any definite action
will be taken by the strikers.

Exnressions ofthe Press.

LONDON, December S.-The Dublin
Express independent Conservative
says: The prospects for home rule for
ireland at the next election are as dead
as Queen Anne. Irish public opinion
points to the continued popularity OF
Mr.. Parnell."
The Freelndn's Journal, in which Mr.
Parnell is understood to have an inter

sibiity, without recommending the plan
to either side, that efforts be made by
the two factions of the Irish party III
the direction of cancellation and peace.
Ii urges MessrS. Dillon and O'Brien to
return from the United States to Paris
forthwith, and that all the Nationalist
members of the House OF Commons, OF
delegates from each section of the party,
assemble in conference in that city,
with a full knowledge of all that has
happened. to decide with them what
course to pursue. "Such conference,
the Journal says. would not only prove
that the sections desire TO hold together,
but would attract attention to the fact
that the men in the front rank are OF

and will preclude the setting on foot
among their own people OF an utterly
fatuous breakup in 4 temper OF the
party il took so many years to establish
and consolidate.
The Journal assumes that the threat
of the SeceSSionistS to start newspaper
in Dublin is threat against itself. 1t
says it will be delighted to welcome the
new journal, but warns the gentlemen
who may be willing to invest money in
the new paper that the hardest thing to
make is a good newspaper, and the
worst time to start such Il project is
when the promoters are at the lowest
ebb of their popularity, many of them
hardly daring to show their faces in
Dublin.
The Cork Herald, referring to Mr..
Parnells intention not TO abandon the
Irish leadership, says that unless a
united people force him to retire the re-
suit will be disorder and disunion in the
party and evils to the country the end
of which the present generation will not

4 Card from the Mine Workers of Elm
Grove.
Elm GROVE, December 5.

ELM trltONE, bcccIHDtI =.
To he Editor Of he Register.
SIR:-Local Assembly No. 2,s93, mi
ted Mine Workers Of America, OF Elm
Grove, wish, in regard to card from
Mr.. Chambers, TO state to the public
that NJ. +. Moran has not misrcpresent-
ed the state of affairs. In the first
place, we were called out legally, by the
National and State Boards.
Mr. Chambers goes on TO state that
the mine boss was discharged for in
competency. This statements untrue.
The mine boss was discharged by Mr..
Chambers himself, for being the insti-
gator of boy being blamed with rob-
bing the miners dinner buckets. The
mine boss never blamed the boy, and
can prove it by the miners of Elm Grove
coal shaft. We are also prepared to
prove by the miners here that when the
mine boss took charge Of the Elm Grove
mines it was in bad condition. The
mine boss remodelcd it, and when the
water broke into it he also built dams
to stop the water. All this the
boss has done, and Mr.. Chambers
cannot deny it. We will state to the
public, it is an old saying and true
one. if you hold snake TO the fire to
warm it will turn around and bite you.
In Mr.. Chambers statement he claims
the boy was discharged for neglect OF
duty. which is untrue. The boy was
discharged for telling the truth. He
also states in his card that the boys
father allowed him more time than the
boy had worked. We must say
that Mr.. Chambers is very liberal man
for anyone that gets anything from
him without working will have to get
up early in the morning. He goes on to
tell about one miner being discharged
for being drunk three days. We hope
that Mr.. Chambers will acknowledge
that the man was not drunk three days.
On November 90 the man was working
and on:December lst he was discharged
for carting big Jumps OF coal back in his
room. This will let the public see that
Mr.. Chambers must be writing under
the shadow of imagination or he never
would have uttered such a phrase.
There is not one letter Of truth in his
whole statement. For the sake of the
public we shall let you know which is
correct.
From the United Mine Workers OF
Elm Grove.

silver Smelling Mines Losing Money

DENVER, Colo, December s.-The
unsettled condition of the silver market
is causing serious trouble among Color
ado smelters and those mines producing
low grade ores. and unless some
thing is speedily done by Com
gress, hundreds of tow grade mines Ia
the State will be compelled 10 close
down. When the price Of silver went
up under the present silver bill the low
producers sent thousands OF tons
Of ore To the smcltcrs, which
was purchased at the advance
price. Tne smelters are now
loaded down with low grade ore which
cannot proftably be treated at the
present price of silver. They figure
their loss since the decline az 10 cents
per ounce on si,5OO,OOO worth Of min
eral. Hundreds OF mines IN the west

THE SANTA FE PARTY.
An Important Interview With Director
Geo. c. Magoun.

The party of Santa Fe directors who
have been travelling about Southern Cal
ifornia the past week arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday afternoon. During
the day they paid visit TO Redondo
Beach and travelled over part of the
Orange division. The party consisted of
Director George c. Magoun, who is chair
man of the executive committee, Vice
President Reinhart, Thomas Barring, of
the firm of Barring Bros, London bank
ers, Mr. Peabody, of the firm of Hidden,
Peabody & Co., bankers of Boston, and
X. H. Wade, the general manager of the
Southern California road.
Mr.. Magoun was seen last evening by
a reporter of the HERALD, at the West
minister. In answer to various queries
put to him, he said: The purpose of
our visit here is to look over the prop
ertv. When we assumed control, the
first thing to do was to make such
changes in the officers of the company
and in its financial management as
were needed to get it into better
running shape. We feel that the greater
part of this work has been accomplished,
and we now have leisure to make more
thorough inspection of the line to be-
come acquainted with the interests and
possibilities of the various sections of
country through which it passes, with a
view to making such improvements or
changes of policy as will prove of advan-
tage. We find Southern California to
be all that it has been represented in its
present development and it's outlook for
future prosperity. | believe that it will
become one OF the richest agricultural
sections of the nation, and that these
beautiful villages will one day support
large population. 1t shall be the policy
of the Santa Fe to do everything possible
to help the country in its development.
We are much pleased with the good
work which Mr.. Wade has accomplished
in the short time that he has been in
Office. In spite of the devastation
caused by the storms of last winter, the
road appears to be in a very good condi-
ton. We found Redondo pleasant
and beautiful spot, and when the Pacifc's
freedom from storms is taken into con-
sideration, | can imagine that good
deal of shipping can be carried through
that harbor. As to a trans-Pacific
steamship line, the published statements
are somewhat in advance of the actual
truth; nevertheless, the project has
been under consideration.
The party will leave for San Francisco
tomorrow evening.
