Rumors were afloat Friday to the eff
feet that strike involving all the train
men on the 5000 miles OF railroad,
which comprise the Atchison system,
was about to take place. Regarding
these rumors President Allen Melville
said: "They are greatly exaggerated
No demands have been made by our
men, and so none could possibly have
been refused"
Gen. A. A. Robinson, the general man.
ager of the Atchison system, is at the
Grand Pacific. He says that the train
men were not affected by the order
issued when w. B. Strong was president
which reduced the pay roll 10 per cent.
He did not think there was any danger
of a strike, but any differences between
the employees and the management would
be settled at a conference between all
the parties interested.
On quitting the men began campaign
ing among the 500 stevedores along the
docks with the idea of spreading the
strike to all the lines in the city They
received favorable promises and the
prospect of tie-up of all the lines is
good unless the matter is amicably set
tied soon.
At 9 o'clock Saturday morning three
patrol wagons swept down on the men
as they were lettering about the docks
and thirty were arrested.

STRIKERS BEATEN.

The Illinois Central Men Do Not Gain
Their Point,
CHICAGO, June 30.--At 2 p. IN. Fri
day the Illinois Central strike was de-
clared off, and the men will return to
work this afternoon, on the condition
that, though Superintendent Russell be
retained, he be deprived of the power to
hire and discharge men.
At the conclusion OF the meeting Fri
day afternoon, the strikers filed out and
announced that by vote of 306 to 105
they had decided to accept the conces-
sions OF the company and return to
work.
Preparations for the resumption of
business were at once begun, and the
fires in the engines in the switch yards,
which have been banked for three days,
were stirred into life and fresh coal put
on preparatory to getting up steam.
General Superintendent interviewed.
General Superintendent Sullivan was
seen after the settlement, and at the
close of the final conference. He said
that the strike was settled, not upon the
basis of any concession on the part of
the railroad company, but by the COM
plete and entire surrender Of the men.
He said Superintendent Russells powers
had not been in any way curtailed, but
that he would continue to give orders as
he had always given them. He said it
had always been the usage Of the road
for a division superintendent to give
orders only to his immediate interiors.
Chairman Burns, of the strikers griev-
ance committee, i'll announcing to Gen
eral Superintendent Sullivan the surren-
der of the malcontents, said that the
whole trouble was one of the many diff
culties that arise as lack of organiza-
ton. Organized labor would never have
experienced such state of affairs A
movement to end these conditions as far
as the Illinois Central was concerned
was already under way.
Mr.. Sullivan replied that he thought,
as Mr.. Burns had said, the trouble re-
suited from lack of organization, but
also from the lack of proper statute to
protect organized capital from such as
saults.
After this interchange the company's
telegraph wires were put at the service
of the grievance committee, and by
night the trains ON the entire Illinois
Central system were running as
usual. assSNsS
The strike lasted four days and seven
hours. On the statement of one of the
leading officials of the road, the loss to
the company was 81 200 an hour, or
something over 100000.

says that the gravest consequences must

The Times charges the Newfoundland
authorities with alternately blowing hot
and cold, it acknowledges that they can
not be expected by the home govern
ment to consent to the negotiation in
1891 of modus vivendi similar to the
one which now maintains.
The paper concludes its editorial COM
ment by asking whether in this connec-
ton, Lord Salisbury will supplement-
the Angio-German negotiations with
another diplomatic triumph.
The Standard says: Whether notr
France accepts an offer of compensation
for her Newfoundland fishing rights.
Lord Salisbury owes it to an essentially
meritorions class of colonial subjects to
use his highest influence in securing
them in their country just treatment
and free field for their energies.

Mass of seething Flame All Through or

DUNBAR, Pa, June 80.-The flames
which have burning in the Farm Hill
mine burst forth from the mouth Of the
pit at $3.50 o'clock Friday night and
leaped thirty feet in the air. All efforts
TO extinguish the flames have proven
fruitless, and the buildings In the vicin-
ity have been torn down to prevent the
fire spreading.
A hurried consultation followed be-
tween the inspectors and District Master
Workman Watchorn, as to the advisa-
bility of abandoning search for the i'm
prisoned men, 1t was the belief of the
inspectors that it was absolutely dan
gerous to proceed further, but they de-
cfded to finish the work themselves. A
hole was drilled into the Hill Farm, and
at IL o'clock the inspectors started on
their perilous search. They took their
lives in their own hands and 1t was
question whether they would ever see
daylight again.
II is feared the mine is on fire all
through or else filed with smoke. In
either case the danger is very great. It
Is Of character, too, that tries to the
very utmost the courage Of any man.
In the dark, with tons of loose earth
above them, false step or any kind of

Finally Inspectors Loutitt, Keighley,
Secretary Watchorn and Workman Ker-
foot and Manager Hill, of the furnace
company, decided to face death itself
that the entombed men may be rescued
They decided to go TO the face and to-
gether dig through. There are eleven
feet of coal to dig or about two hours
work. They are all provided with all
appliances for their safety, but they car
ry their lives in their hands, and every
body about the pit bade them good-by
and wished for their safe return.
