Notes.

Southern California road in this city, i t
is known that the Atlantic and Pacif C
railroad is "tied up" in railroad par
lance, because OF the train dispatchers
and telegraphers' strike. The Santa Fe
overland left this city east-bound as
usual, but passengers were warned that
the time of transit was an unknown
quantity under the circumstances. At
3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the west
bound overland had not reached Bar
stow.
The railroad officials are completely
in the dark as to the whereabouts Of
all the trains on the Atlantic and Pacific
road. AS one old railroad man ex-
pressed it yesterday, "the only way the
trains can run is by sending a man
ahead with flag in the day time and
lantern by night The officials OF the
road seem to be paralyzed. They must
have known that tie strike was coming,
yet it seems TO have found them unpre-
pared.
The Southern Pacific appears to offer
decided contrast. Here not man has
left. In Arizona and New Mexico the
vacancies were filled as fast as they oc-
Cured, and yesterday the trains were all
moving as usnal. The objection of the
men to signing the obnoxious affidavit
is well taken. Every one must ac-
knowledge that the demand for the affi-
davit is tyrannical abuse of power, and
is unAmerican in principle; if the op-
orators could have so organized as to
have had fair chance of success they
would have had the support OF public
opinion, but 80 far, conservative coun-
sells have prevailed, and it appears as if
the affair was over as far as this road is
concerned.
CAMPBELL's SUDDEN TRIP.
new development in the railroad
situation here is possible. James Camp
bell, president of theiSanta Monica Ter
minal Wharf and Railway company,
packed his little grip yesterday in
great hurry after perusing telegram
from San Francisco and took the train
for that city. What he was going for,
or at whose behest he would not say,
being a canny Scot, but that something
is in the railroad is sure, and that some
thing is more than Campbell g whiskers.
