An Apti-strilxe Organization Being Formed
by the Rulers of the Trains.
The seceders from the National Order
of Railway Conductors-those opposed
unslterably to strikes-began work on
the day they withdrew at the Rochester
meeting, and after canvassing the sub
ject in the East, concluded thew could
muster enough members to warrant or
ganizing an independent national BODY
A call was therefore issued for Ill con-
ductors who opposed placing the order
on strike basis to choose representa-
tives to conference to determine what
steps if was advisable to take.
The meeting was held in New York
City on the 22nd. There were present
it was claimed, members of fifty local
divisions of the old order,
among them ex-Grand Chief Con-
ductor wheaton, who presided.
After brief elaboration it was decided
to organize an independent order. Com
mittees were appointed and a recess
taken. The committees reported in
favor of calling the Organization the In
dependent Order of Railroad Conduc-
tors, and practically adopting the ritual

C. S. Wheaton was elected president
Ito which title the chief office was
changed) and E. d. Nash was uneni-
mously elected vice-presdent. The Of
fees of secretary and treasurer were for
the time being merged with the presi-
dency, and Mr.. Wheaton was thus con-
stituted the executive staff. An execu-
tive and other committees were ap-
pointed, and it was agreed to meet at the
same place July Is at 10 q. m. The
vice grand chief of the old order, it was
reported, applied for admission to the
meeting, but was refused.

GOULD TALKS

And Admits That Arrangements With the
Atchison is In Progress.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 24.-Jay Gould is
quoted as saying: "Itis true that an
arrangement of some consequence and
mutual advantage is in progress between
the Atchison and the Missouri Pacific
railroad systems.
It is certain and as positive as anything
can be regarding Gould's aspirations,
that the feeling at the Western Union
buildings has undergone q complete and
systematic change. There is no more
talk of Western disturbances with bane-
full influences to be exerted; on the con-
trary there is a feeling which amounts to
almost positive assertion that the rail =
road atmosphere is clearer to q most ap-
preclabIe extent.

SALISBURY, TEX, June 23.-There is
considerable talk here of line of rail-
road to run through the county as far as
Swisher, and several capitalists have
visited here during the past ten days to
take in the situation. There is no doubt
the project is feasible, and the country
opened by such line would be most
productive. That road will eventually
be put through there is evident, but
whether it will be done by the Denyer or
some other company is the question.

Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 15-The Re-
publican senator's held a caucus last night
from O'Clock to 1875 to discuss and, If
possible, to formulate an order of business
to govern the senate during the rest of the
present session of congress There were
thirty-nine senators present. Senator Ed
munds presided. No definite proposition
was brought before the caucus, but the
subject discussed was the advisability of
laying aside the federal election bill and
arranging with the Democratic senators
to have vote on the tariff bill in the near
future. Both of the Pennsylvania sena-
tors, with Plum and others, advocated
laying the election bill over They said
that it would be bad policy to keep con-
gress here much after the 1st of Septem-
Der, because members of both houses were
canvass for members of the house of rep
resentatives.
The Democrats in Charge.
Aldrich and other members of the
finance committee expressed the belief
that the Democrats could keep the senate
busy with the tariff bill for two months
longer unless some agreement was
Sached, and they urged the necessity of
putting the tariff bill through at an early
day. Senator Aldrich said that he did
not believe that the senate could pass q
resolution to amend the rules so as to pro-
vide for calling the previous question. He
Raid that it would be necessary to have a
quorum of Republicans present, and
there was so much sickness now among
the members that it was extremely doubt
full if a quorum could be got together.
Senator Spooner and Senator Hoar urged
the necessity of passing the election bill
now, and the hopelessness of trying to pass
it during the short session.

As one senator expressed it after ad.
journment, Senator Spooner read the

after more than two hours of debate
without coming to any agreement as to
| the future action of the senate and with
out fixing a day for reassembling, the
caucus adjourned The debate developed
the fact that about fifteen of the senators
present were in favor of letting the cleo
! ton bill go over. A special injunction o.
secrecy was placed on those who were
present, and one Republican senator, who
is noted for extreme frankness, woulc

Politics and a Private Claim.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. ia good
deal of interest attaches in political way
to the bill before the house referring the
claim of Nat MacKay to the court of
claims. President Cleveland vetoed this
bill and in retaliation MacKsy visited
Europe and obtained quantity of tariff
and labor material which he placed in the
hands of the Republican committee. The
result is that the Democrats are fighting
his bill at every point and Republicans
are generally rallying to his support.
