NAL condition.
| Vice President Webb said at o'clock in
the evening land at midnight the situation
was the same) that the strike so far as the

an end. The entire passenger and freight
| service will be resumed tomorrow morn
ing: and all trains will leave on schedule
time All freight yards will be open for
| the reception of Western freight.
When Vice President Webb received Col.

of the men and property at the Syracuse

instruct Pinkertons detectives employed
there to charge the strikers upon any show
OF violence, and if necessary to give the
governor casus bclh for the ordering out
OF troops Shortly after p. m. train of

REFUSED TO ARBITRATE.
Florence Donovan, of the state board of
arbitration, called upon Mr.. Webb this
morning, and said that a request had been
made by the strikers that he meet MI. Webb
and try to arrange the difficulty by arbitra-
ton. Mr.. Webb received him very courte-
Ously, but told him distinctly that there
was nothing to arbitrate. Mr. Donovan
did not argue the question, but withdrew
after short chat.
AT VARIOUS CITIES
Reports received from along the line indi-
cate that everything is running smoothly.
The situation at Albany is the same as last
night. Gov. Hill said to-day that he would
call out the troops the moment that the
strikers offered violence. The strikers pro-
fess desire to avoid violence, and it is
thought that it will not be necessary to call
out the militia. A delegation Of strikers
called on Gov. Hill to-day and stated their
grievances and promised him that they
would act in an orderly manner.
Everything is quiet at Buffalo and trains
are running as usual. Engineers and fire.
men are doing their own switching and do
not appear to sympathize with the strikers.
Lake Shore & Michigan Central men are
still at work. An engineer said at Buffalo
to-day that there was no prospect of either
the firemen or engineers going out
AT Syracuse New York Central trains are
transferred to the West Shore. James
Burke, the strike leader there, counseled
his followers to avoid violence. Fifty
Plnkerton detectives and one hundred rail- |
road men went to East Syracuse and cleared
the yard, the strikers yielding without
struggle
There is no evidence of a strike at Roch-
ester, and at Jersey City there is not the
least sign Of trouble. The men employed |
