WATCHING TERRE HAuTE.

Sargent Says that He Will Endorse
 Everything thaS PowdsIly Has Dams,
 TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 2a.-It will not be tke fault of Frank P. Sargent, or due to any deficiency in his powers of persuasion if every employe of the New York Central raiload, who is 6 member of the various orders identi- aed with the Federation of Railroad Employees, does not find himself en- rolled under the banner of the strikers by sundown to day.
 Before the Council went into session Mir. Sargent said he would heartily en- dorse everything Mir. Powderly has done when the question came up as to what action would be taken regarding the request of Powderly for assistance, for that Is the form in which the matter will resolve itself. ''It is not now," said MT. Sargent, "a ques tion as to how much beef is buried on the New York Central, buE whether organized labor shall be crushed, and buried, to boot"
 Sargent, when asked the question, point blank, as to whether in the event of g strike being ordered it would be confined to those portions of the New York Central now affected, or extended to the connections west of Buffalo and the Vanderbilt lines in general, said that this would be one of the specific questions for the Supreme Council to decide. If they decided to call out the men, they would also designate the lines upon which the order should go into effect

 am not aware of any difference or griev- ance existing between the company and its employees; and must assume that the confer ence suggested by you as between the officers of the company and the representatives of our employees is a conference suggested between the officers of the company and the officials of the Knights of Labor. These officials represent not our employees, but persons who have left our service and have not asked to be re-em- ployed: but who, through these same officials of the Knights of Labor, have asked the dis char e by the company of certain persons prior to the Sth of August be submitted to their investigation, and to arbitration by some tribunal to be selected in some way; a re- quest which have felt it to be my duty to decline. 7
 For the above reason 1t seems to me inap- proprate and unnecessary to have the confer ence suggested by you. Yours respectfully,

 MT. Toucey went out to East Buffalo with . carload of about 40 non-union men with Superintendent Burrows. Mr. Holland registered at the Arling ton Hotel, and after dinner repaired tS the locomotive fremen's hall where the Switohmen's Union held @ meeting.
 To . reporter Mir. Holland said: '1 am here in the interest of the Knights of Labor, and shall remain until the strike Is opened. We tried every fail means possible with MT. Webb to have the matter settled in an amicable way, and he declined to entertain any of the propositions made to him."
 MT. Holland further said he was in communication with the Locomotive Brotherhood Chief, P. M. Arthur, and he did not doubt he would approve the movement, and might be induced to join it. "The length of the strike is uncertain" said Mir. Holland in con- olusion, "but we are in it to stay. We did not want to strike, but 1t has been forced upon us. The railroad would not take a step in the direction of Arbi' tPation
