NEW YORK, August 11th.-All through the
night and early this morning it looked as
though the strike on the New York Central was
slowly but surely petering out. Nevertheless
both parties far as words went, at all events,
are as stubborn as ever. The Buffalo express, or
the newspaper train, moved out on time at A.
NJ. Before Z o'clock two trains had been sent
out over the Harlem division. Soon after, the
announcement was made that all trains would
be run to-day. The police arrangements remain
the same as yesterday, except the men are told
not to leaye their posts for even an instant
Vice President Webb contradicted the state
ment made last night that the fireman had
struck. He declared all the passenger trsins
running are fully manned. Everything, he de-
clared, was in fine shape all along the road, ex-
cept at Syracuse. where proper protection was
not accorded. and he had te.egraphed Governor
Hill for troops. He added that arrangements
were being perfected for moving freight to-day.
The first freight which moved since the strike
left yesterday Tor Albany at 9 A. NJ. No opposi-
tion was made by the strikers, as heavy guard
of police was on hand.
The Sixty-fifth-street yard from which the
first shipment of freight was made, is the most
important in the city. A freight train passed
Spuyten Duyvll at 1856. Every thing TO that
point was al right.
At 10 O'Clock everything was in good shape
at the Grand Central Depot The police ar
rangements are the same as yesterday. There
| is no excitement around the dept, except that
large numbers are applying for work at the
temporary employment bureau.
AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, August 11th.-A committee of the
Knights of Labor waited upon Deputy Attorney
General Whitaker to-day and inquired as to
the right of the Central Road to employ Pink
erton detectives to guard its property. Whit
taker told the committee the company had a
perfect right to protect its property and hire
agents for that purpose.
came in from the West, the fireman are drop
ping from service. Here" he said, "eight, so
iar, have dropped of, and the Brotherhood of
Engineers have refused to work with any but
| union fremen, and would not go to New York
with green men,"
Superintendent Bissel was asked about the
matter, but emphatically denied the rumor He
said every train which came either from the
West or the South passed through Albany with
the same crew with which 1t came in. Not q
passenger fireman had lett the service to day.
ALBANY. August 1lth.-GovernOr Hill had a
consultation with some of the strike managers
to-day, and after listening to their grievan' es
he called their attention to the situation at De-
witt, and asked that all hostile demonstrations
there be stopped, and they promised thai his
request will be complied with.
The company has ow peacefully resumed
possession of its property at that place, aud its
trains are running through there without mo-
lestation. 1t is doubtful whether any troops
will be now needed, unless an unexpected
change in the situation occurs.
The freight train which left New York at IL
o'clock to day arrived at East Albany at 6
for the present. When the train drew into the
station there was a crowd of 600, but they did
not molest the train or crew. No attempt will
be made to move the freight out of the West
Albany yards until additional Pinkerton men
arrive. The train which blocks the upper
railroad bridge is sill lying there, and the
stencil which arises from the decaying dressed
beef is sickening
REPLY FROM THE GOVERNOR.
NEW YORK. August 11th.-In reply to the re-
uup of Vice -prasi6ant Wahh IN
asking that State troops be sent to Syracuse, he
this afternoon received the following reply:
General Farnsworth has been sent 10 inves-
tigate the situation and report. You may rest
assured that the State authorities will act
promptly and vigorously in protecting property
and preventing violence. The functions of the
derstoOd. 1t is not their business to operate
railroads. nor to interfere in behalf of either
party to the labor controversy. but only when
invoked to aid the local authorities in suppress
ing violence and protecting property. They are
not expected to do mere police duty. nor dis
charge those functions which most properly be-
long to SheriffHs posse The powers of the
civil authorities should be fully applied before
recourse should be had to the military author
