NO WHEELS HAVE YET
TURNED.
THE CONDUCTOR AND ENGINEER
TO BE TRIED TOMORROW
MORNING.
Conductor Fred Loring's Head Cut
Off-CaiIs for Men Made by the
Railway Officiais-Strike OF
the w. U. Telegraph
Operators.

The Arkansas Pass strike situation
is unchanged today.
The meeting of the men yesterday
afternoon at Mission Garden was
secret and all that is known of what
occurred is that there were speeches
made.
The strikers have notified every
railroad organization in the country
of the strike and rely for sympathy
and assistance from these orgsnizs-
tons.
The superintendent of the road is
advertising for non-union men to
operate the road.
In this connection it may he stated
that teIegraphers throughout the city
are working III harmony with the
strikers. The Western Union opera
tors in this city sent few kilograms
for the railway officials yesterday but
at night fatty refused Manager
Newton to send any more 5. A. Il A.
p. business over tue wire. They de-
clared they would strike if this was
insisted upon. 1t made no difference
if the officials, who like all railroads,
have private "franks," with the w.
U. telegraph company, failed to use
this and offered cash in payment
The men were in earnest and all Mr..
Newton could do was to grace
fully submit. No San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass kilograms were sent
out over the Western Union lines,
aud even advertisements for nom
union men to take the place OF the
strikers, which were put in the tele-
graphic news correspondence OF sew.
eral prominent papers over the Union
were cut out by The operators.
There are several idle telegraphers
in the city now, in flu sympathy with
the men. Nearly all belong to the
Order of Railway Telegraphers.
The arrested engineer and oonduc-
tor, Messrs. CannaDt and Luke, were
given leave yesterday to furnish bond
Both men gave 500 bonds. The
cases have been set for hearing
tomorrow morning before U. s. Com
missioner Price. Luke's bondsman
is Mr.. Fl. D. Carnegie, Mr.. Cannant's
is Mr.. d. Z. Crowley. The witnesses
for the U. 5. government are Messrs
w. II. Reilly, Walter Knight, Fred
Braro, II. D. Carnegie and Geo. l..
Sands.
Those for the defendants are Ad-
Olson KilgOre, Deputy U =. Marshal;
Doc Gillette, Thos. Worrell and VIM
St John.
Conductor Fred. Loring was dis
charged yesterday for refusal to pull
out the passenger train.
A refusal to allow a special train to
bring a committee of the Federation
OF Labor to San Antonio to confer
with the road officials was made yes
terday evening. Receiver Yoakum
said they might come on the regular
passenger train.
No warrant has yet been sworn hut
against Superintendent Sands, as it
was expected would be.
Teleg rams of encourag ement to the
strikers poured in yesterday and last
night. it is said the excitement in
Waco and every town touched blythe
Arkansas Pass railway is much greater
than in San Antonio
Judge King and Rec, liver Ma ma
mara returned this morning anu it is
thought some definite action will now
be taken, probably today. Judge
King reused to be interviewed, but
intimated that he had the matter now
under consideration.
Two engines that were standing on
the main line have been killed, / g.
taken 20 their stalls in the round
house.
ANOTHER STRIKE.
Last night, as has been previously
stated, the operators in the Western
Union telegraph office refused to
transmit any Arkansas Pass kilograms
whatever. Manager Newton informed
State Superintendent Cock, at Dallas,
and he wired back to hang all A. p.
business on the hook and reserve it
until his arrival He will be here TO-
night on the |. & G. II. train.
This morning, however, kilograms
came in from the 8. A. p. to be sentover
the wire and Manager Newton him
self took key and began sending.
His day force OF operators, six in
num Der, informed him that he could
not do this, or they would quit. 1t
would do them no good If one man
sent it and he must desist. He told
them he was manager and must
follow his duties as such. which
he owed the w. U. Telegraph COM
pany. At this reply the men, with
the exception Of the chief operator,
and one other man, walked out. The
mig hit force will do the same. The
en- tire force at this Office numbers IL
men; of these, ten have quit. They,
