EFFORTS FOR PEACE.

Representatives Of the Chicago and Erie
Strikers Confer With Manager Tucker.
CHICAGO, Jan, 23.-The grievance committee
of the striking Chicago and Erie railroad con-
ductors and train d'spatchers called on General
Manager Tucker this morning and are now in
conference with him.
WHAT MANAGER TUCKER SAYS.
General Manager Tucker of the Chicago and
Erie railroad said in an interview: ''There is no
prospect Of any change in the situation for
twenty.four or f.erty-eight hours, yet we are
wheels in motion again, and think we will
have no trouble in running the road without
Mr.. Scott. 1t is hardly probable, however,
that any trains will be moved today"
The first symptoms Of lawlessness in the Chi
cagO and Erie strike were manifested at Hunt
ington last night. The engine drawing q pas
senger train was disabled at that point and had
to be sent to the shops. Three other passenger
trains were also stopped at Huntington by a
mob, according to General Manager Tucker.
He says o number Of telegraph operators are
acting in bad faith and that several wires have
been cut.
ENCOURAGED BY CHIEF ARTHUR.
A special from Huntington, Ind, says: Chief
Arthur has telegraphed the Chicago and Erie
engineers, sustaining them in their refusal to
haul trains manned by new employees.
Another special from Huntington says that
authentic advices have been received there to
the effect that the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers will support the strike. The strikers
boarded all trains and set the brakes, making il
impossible 10 run the trains. A mail train with
. baggage car containing three corpses
was allowed TO pass unmolested. The
company II feeding forty trandent passengerz
ct the depot and viii send them 70 their desti-
nations via the Wabash. A committee Of citi-
zsns are trying 10 have the question arbitrated,
bat the striksrs are firm in their demands that
Train Dispatcher SCOTT be reinstated long
enough 70 allow him 10 resign honorably.

a~cteristic speech. it was, however, somewhat
more gloomy thln his usual harangueS, and
even produced a d sluieting effect on the Berlin
Bours3. After thanking the province for the
enthusiastic reception accorded to him, he said
he hoped that the p,o'perous yeomanry of Sax
ony wDul f)rever en- lure and continue to over
come all dific llties. GAS Christians, p" he add
ed I'VE must beAr what Heaven sends. We
all hope thtt peace will be m a~intained, but If
it should be otherwise, we are not to blame.
The Vossischs ZeitunJ, comenting on this, de-
clares that the speech will attract considerable
attention abroad. 1t goes on to declare that
'the out break Of popular passion such as re-
Gently took place in itusa AM France could
not fail to give the Emperor Cause for anxiety
all thea quotes Prince Bism rk's declaration
tn 1t Frnce and Il I5sia are the pike in the
European clrp-poll. Germany, however,
will not allow herself to BE- lulled into a sense
of false security The article ends by a some
what frigid declaration that the conviction OF
the possibility OF war does not exclude the hope
of the preservation of peace" No doubt the
Germans are anxious, but the Press should have
the self restraint to ignore the disquleting side
Of the situation as far as possible. Fears ex-
pressed as to the understanding between France
and Russia will only tend to inAame French
feeling into the belief chat Germany is afraid
of the Republic.

On Tuesday, President Harrison made

OF ~lhauSurating a monument that has been

met with. Mr. E. ]. Gray proposed a vote OF
censure on the Parnelite policy of the Free
mans Journal, to which Mr.. T.. Harrington,
NJ. r, moved an amendment declaring the
perfect confidence of the shareholders in the
present management. The amendment was
carried, on show Of hands, by 81 to y, but a
poll was demanded, and the poll resulted in the
defeat of the amendment by 1923 votes
against 2. 1862 votes in it's favour. 1t appears
that Mrs. Gray (the widow of the late proprie-
tori holds 10, $50 shares; Mr. E. D. Gray, $50;
Archbishop Walsh, $50; and Archbishop Croke,
5l9. 1t was the proxies representing the alb
sent voters which carried The decisive majority
against the amendment. The Archbishops have
beaten Mr. Parnell, but they supported him
while he was deliberately poisoning the public
mind, and threw him over only when he be-
trayed bis Indifference to private morality.
Archbishop Walsh has addressed a letter to
the National Press in support Of those share
holders in the Freeman Journal who are en-
deavouring to snatch the paper out of the
hands of Mr. ParnelIs allies. He dilates on the
great injury to morality which the Freeman'S
Journal and the Evening Telegraph have
brought about, and says that but for them, all
Ireland would have declared Mr.. Parnell unfit
to hold the Office of national leader any longer.
We sympathise with the Archbishop's desire
to withdraw Ireland from the influence of such
a leader as Mr. Parnell, but we should sympa-
thise with him much more if he had shown any
similar desire TO withdraw Ireland from his
influence at the time he initiated that evil
movement for 'boycotting" all who took a
farm from which another tenant had been
evicted, which demoralised Ireland far more
effectively than Mr.. Parnells personal immo-
%ralities. The Archbishop has not been guilt
less of the worldly propensity to compound
for the sins his oountrymen are inclined to, by
damning those they have no mind to.
Ths inquiry into the charges against Cana
dian officials ls drawing to a Close. the past
week having been occupied with the conclud-
ing speeches of counsel. We are glad to note
that the Government intends 10 take serious
action in the matter. On Wednesday, Mr..
Abbott, the Prime Minister, called a meeting
Of his party, at which he announced that the
Ministry had determined to institute a search.
ing investigation into the whole question Of the
alleged departmental Irregularities, with a view
to introducing sweeping reforms. This is as it
should be but we trust that the major evil of
bribing provinces and districts by the promo
ton of public works will also be dealt with.
That is the curse of Canada. We entertain no
doctrinaire dislike of the Government Of g
young country aiding really beneficial schemes.
Unless, however, a vlgilant public opinion OPP
posed to jobbery can be created, We fear that
the system must be pronounced both wasteful
and demOra Using.
