That the Strike VIII Not spread-Oper
ators Encouraged by the o atIook.s
10 all appearances the trouble between
the Rock Island and the operators is
no nearer settlement than il was on the
day OF the strike. Although the trains on
this division are kept running on time
there is no denying the fact that there is
some tIeaole on the division in the west.
The operators Who are out on this
division and large nun Der from the
Iowa division held u meetius at Brown
eTs hall. in Reynolds block, last
night. About 50 op,rAtors were
present. In addition to these be-
tween 80 and 200 members OF the differ.

Explaining Their Situation
The purpose OF last night meeting
was 10 ascertain as far as possible the
sentiment that prevails among the mem
bers of the other organic atoms in regard
to the present difficulty between the tel
egraphcrs and the company Organizer
acCabe and others made addresses dis
cussing the situation ia all us phases and
much conf fence WAS expressed by the
men tina; success would crown their eff
forts in the end. While the business
transacted was kept . closely guarded Sc.
cret, yet 1t is said On gooo authority that
there was general good feeling existing
among the men. Judging from the en-
thusissm that was msnifes ted, the strik-
ing men are very confident OF coming out
on top.

ranks OF the o. r. T. men The new
men at Geneseo and Utica have also left
their KEYS again. At Brooklyn and othe r
places along the lows division they
claim they were duped into going back
by bogus bulleting and ire again going

Officials Stnl Confident
The same position thai has been taken
by the company since the beginning OF
the strike is still maintained. Officials
are confident that the men csnnot win in
anyway and still insist that any mum! er
Of good men can be d. They look
upon the question Of the other orgsniza-
tiOns assisting the operators as out of the
question, and seem TO BE satisfied that
nothing of that kind will be done Both
sides seem game and there is no telling
what the end will be.
Delayed Trains.

FIVE hours this morning and No 2. due

for the delay of the trains. though q

Colonel MCCLURE. Of the Philadelphia TIME,
es reported In our columns day before yestef-
day, n Of the opinion that HILL, even II nomi-
hated ~ the Chicago convention, would not
carry single northern State. This is a sweep
ing assertion, but its huge proportions may be
accounted for when We look al the facts Of The
situation. There are forty-four States in all,
aud only sixteen OF them are classed as southern
States. Note that the press and public speak
err frequently call the western and northwestern
States northern States. All these States were,
during the war Union States, and a. the civil
war was, during its progress. always spoken oil
O. one between the North and the South, II was
natural that all the Union States should come TO
be Chased as northern States. Looking at these
fscts only we md Colonel McCLURs's unqualified
statement TO be that HILL could not carry one OF
the twenty eight northern States

goes Pennsylvania. SO goes the Union, IL the I'M

We undertake TO correct him and tell him what
