NEW YosK, Aug 80. h This moving
Secretary iiAves of the eenerAi executive

following ststemant 10 the reporters:
1T is very strange thing that Mr..
Webb should only now say that the
knights discharged from the employ Of
the road were discharged for drunken
ness, incapscity and insubordinAtion. If
this was the fact, II is 8 proper case fos
ar bitTation, aud one that the Eiats board
should take hold OF. Oar executive
board, however, has gone thoroughly into
that matter and knows that there is not
one word o. truth in what Mr.. Webb
aays'
Mr.. Hayes further stated that the board
would have no meeting to-day but would
remain az the hotel until evening when
the members would leave Tor Albany.
Mr.. Webb was on hand bright and
early this morning 1t the Grand Central
depot. He most positively denied that
there was any truth in the repor, that
DR.. Depew would sail to-day from
Southampton for home. Il have heard
nothing from him" said Mr.. Webb,
'and do not sxpsc! him until the latter
part of September, the time lie arranged
to return.n

cent OF the council and grand master OF
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen.
u can say tnat so far as the actions OF Mr..
Powderly are concerned during the whole
matter, most heartily endorse Them said
Chief Sargent, with decided emphasis. IL
am convinced that MIR. Powderly did not
invite ihts condition OF affatrs, and that hts
did his best 10 avoid It. | never met
Mr.. PowieElr personally till lg6t Monday

the part OF the Federation Y ttNr. Webo

had no occasion 10 seek a personal inter
view wi Ii hiIn. went to New Y1rk at the
solicitation OF Mr.. powdery. Mr. Webb
sent an invitation 10 Grand Master Sweeney
and myself TO call On him, aud we did so.
| put the question TO Mr.. Webb 10 this way:
Suppose, said /. 'tnat one oil yonr fire

was discharged byyour master OK Transport
tation and that Il came to me on an appeal
from one of our local branchea; suppose

you allow me 70 question you concerning
II n Here MIR. Sargent paused and the cor.
respondent saiI: What was Mr.. Webb's
answer He eyIded my question and l
did not get a positive answer from him.
But | gained an opinion, and very posi-.
tive one 1t that, and It was that the frsmen
would be treated just the same BIS the H. OF
l.. have been"
AN ANXIOUS DAY IN NEg YORK
NEW YoRK, Aug. 24.-rhe usual Sun
day quletude prevailed around the Grand
Central depot to-day. The officials o.
the railroad were at their posts as usual,
but every QUO declared that no trouble
was anticipated, but are prepared for
war. Vioe-president Webb is of the
opinion that the Terre Haute convention
viii do little or nothing III support Of the
action OF the X. OF T., and shat tue NtiAs,
II there is one, will quickly be proved a
failure.
Referring to Mr.. Powderly's latest
manifesto, which was published in this
mornings papers, MIR. Webb said that
ali the statements bearing on the man
aRement Of the road were untrue. To-
day he will investigate the charges made
by the men whose siiidavits are attached
TO MIR. Powderiy's mani este, and will
make public the result.
Mr.. Powderly and bis colleagues,
