he had conversed with half a dozen of
the most influentia. engineers on the
road and they had told him there was
no possibility Of the engineers going
out unless they were ordered out by the
Brotherhood and they thought it very
improbable that such an order would be
given.
The first train of freight forwarded
from this city over the New York Cen
tral road since the strike began moved
out of the yard at Sixty-fifth street at
Oils o'clock this morning. The train
was made of forty-four cars, containing
only perishable fruit, ana is bound for
Albany. The departure of the train
was watched by about 100 men, who
stood in the adjacent vacant lots Two
hundred policemen were on hand, but
there was nothing for them to do
At the St Johns Park freight depot ct
ten o'clock this morning the situation
was unchanged. Everywhere was post
ed the notice that no more freight
would be received there. The platforms
in the mammoth building were piled
high with freight awaiting shipment,
and its roof covered a mass Of stalled
freight cars
The Sixty-ffth street station, from
which the first shipment Of freight Ras
made, is the most important in the city,
At 1890 o'clock at the Grand Central
depot there was no excitement Large
numbers were applying for work at the
temporary employment buread Of the
company.
Up to noon not single piece Of mail
was received in this city from the West
over the New York Central road The
mails thus delayed were those due at
nfne o'clock last night, six this morning
and eleven this morning, and contain all
the Western matter. The mails from
nearer points were all delayed sops
hours. Superintendent Jackson, of the
railway mail service, said that the
mails were being gotten out with all
reasonable speed. The delays suffered
were Of hours, not days, and the situa-
ton Is so changeable at present that 1t
Is not thought advisable to change the
manner Of forwarding mails to the West
for the present Such change would,
he said, only be resorted to If the condi-
ton of affairs on the New York Central
became 90 bad as to warrant il. Future

New YORK, Aug. 12.-In reply to a
dispatch sent by Vice-President Webb
to Governor Hill, asking that State
troops be sent to Syracuse to overawe
the New York Central strikers, he re-
ceived the following reply from Colonel
Judson, military secretary to the Gov
ernor: Your dispatch to Governor
Hill to hand. He directs me to say that
he has sent General Farnsworth to in
vestigate the situation and report on it
1t is desirable that official information
shall be obtained before overt action
is taken. You may rest assured
that the State authorities will act
promptly and vigorously in protect
ing property and preventing vio-
lence. The functions of the military
forces should not, however, be mtsun-
derstood 1t is not their business to
operate the railroad nor to interfere on
behalf Of either party to labor contro-
versy, but only when invoked to aid the
local civil authorities in suppressing
violence and protecting property. They
are not expected to do mere police duty
and not to discharge those functions
which more properly belong to posse
comitatus The powers of the civil
authorities should be fully applied be.
fore recourse should be had to military
forces. The Governor desires that you
keep him fully advised as to any future
occurrences"
The number of trains to leave the
Grand Central depot yesterday was 120.
The customary number leaving on week
days is 138 The trains which were sus-
pended were the locals Every train
which left the Grand Central depot was
promptly on time and schedule time was

General Porter, when asked regarding
the movement of the State troops in
connection with the strike, said: up
to this hour there has not been dol
lars worth of property destroyed or .
single act of Violence committed AS .
whole, the strikers are behaving ad-
mirably and are in good temper. The
company has now peaceably resumed
possession of its property and ita trains
are running through without molestA-
ton. Il is doubtful whether troops Will
be now needed. The State authoftHef
are prepared for any en1ergehc1
and will act vigorously and prompt
ly, without fear or hesitation, wheh-
ever such action is really hec-
essary, but they will only use force -
a last extremity and then only ;or the
protection Of property and the preVen-
ton Of violence. The strikers profess
desire to avoid violence and we shall
believe them to be sincere until we
have evidence to the contrary
The night train which left New York
ut eleven a. m. arrived at East Albany
shortly before six o'clock and will not
be sent further west for the present
When the train drew into the East Al
bany station there 500 men were stand
ing around. but they did not molest the
train nor the crew.
No attempt will be made to move
freight out of the East Albany yards
until additional PinkertOn men arrive
in such numbers as will allow them TO
picket the yards around its many miles
of boundary. Carpenters employed oy
the Central were yesterday engaged IN
erecting 500 hunks in the West Albany
paint shop for the accommodation Of
these men. The pay car Is due, but will
not be sent out until the strike is set

THE public addresses delivered Tn this State by Hon. Ben Terrell, the Farmers Alliance lecturer, have been well received without excep- tion. He advises among other things that farmers quit fighting those en- gagged in other callings and enlist them in theii cause. He also urges greater economy, abstalnence as far as possible from debt-mak- ing, and suggests the study of pub lie questions which concern the agricultural classes, and without the knowledge of which no enduring prosperity can ever come or be ex- pected.
