The Big Four Railroad Strike.

COLUMBUS, o.. Oct. IA preliminary
skirmish in strike of the Big Four yard
men took place this afternoon. This
morning Superintendent Higgins posted a
notice that employees who did not resume
work at p. m. would be discharged and

replied at the hour named, but at ID. m..
when the company started three engines
out of the yard, crowd of strikers rushed
up. Two strikers mounted the cab of one
engine and were Immediately placed under
arrest. The appearance of a detail of
police caused the strikers to scatter and
the engines proceeded dow n town. A con-
siderable amount of perishable freight was
gotten out during the balance of the after
noon. The strikers claim that the yard
men at Springfield, Dayton and Cleveland
will come out tomorrow and will be Joined
by the Panhandle. Baltimore IL Ohio and
Columbus e Hooking Valley and the
Toledo roads tomorrow. These reports
are denied by the officials of the roads
named. The Big Four officials tonight
secured an injunction to prevent strikers
from in any manner interfering with the
business of the road

Willamette still Discharging.
Tug Y. I. Price took Capt. John Irving
and the marine surveyors out to the Pre-
mier again yesterday. 1t was ascertaincd
that the kee,sons and keel were cut in
two, and the opinion is that she cannot
be raised except by pontoons. Coal is
still being discharged from the Willamette,
and the further her bow rises out of VA
ter, the worse she looks. Her owners VIII
have photographs made of her injuries.
She viii be patched up with wooden tial-
bers and sent to San Francisco, where she
will be repaired after her cargo is DIS
charged.
The date for hearing the testimony re-
fore the local inspectors has not yet been
set, no official report of the accident hay
ing been presented to them as yet.
Steamer City of Seattle did not go ont
on the Premier's route last evening. and,
as the North Pacific came in too late 10
start out again on time. no boat made the
trip at all. Port Capt. Henry jackson
said the reason the Seattle was not sent
out was because her marine insurance
was cancelled when she was laid up and
had not been renewed in time. He te}e-
graphed for a renewal Monday. but failed
to get a reply. He, therefore, did not
want to take the risk of sending her oat

weeks as an order was issued from st.

needed IN tho grain trade. which is a more
profitable business, the company getting
as much for hauling car of wheat from
Eastern Washington 10 Tacoma or Seattle
rs for car of shingles 10 81. Paul. When
this order was published the shingle men
made great protest, and General Agent
Nsdeau eserted himself to allay the irrita-
ton by saying that the instructions were
misunderstood in his office. But the road
Is quietly doing what the order outlined.
and " lille 100 cars of wheat are arriving
daily on the Sound, the shinge mills on
the Sound can not get f. per cent of the
cars needed, and can no. get any cars

WILL FIGHT THE DEPOT SCHEME.
The .. i. Co. viii Resist Great North
ern's Cond emnation suit.

Before the Great Northern passenger
station is built that corporation will have
10 win legal battle with the Columbia IL
Puget Sound Railway Company. who in
tend TO contest the condemnation suit ln-
stituted by the Great Northern. General
Manager c. J. Smith, of the Columbia d
Puget road, yesterday said:
According to the plans OF the Great Northern
for crossing our tracks to the grounds it seeks
To nave condemned in Whitechape. there will be
tWenty-six crossings within 1000 feet, which
would MAKE it practically impossible 10 operate
our line, and at the same time render it ex-
tremely dangerous for persons and
vehicles TO cross to the water front be-
yond the tracks. Furthermore, according to
their plaus, all the property in the southern
part OF the city would be rendered worthless for
business purposes because OF the danger in
Crossing 80 many railroad tracks Now, We
don't want 10 be considered obstructioniss by
any means, but we really think that the public
interest, as well as the protection OF our
own property, demand that the Great
Northern scheme be defeated. Our road
has made the only bona fde offer
10 90 into a terminal arrangement, and is still
ready TO make such an arrangement, provided
the Great Northern will place its four tracks on
Railroad avenue where the other companies in
the terminal arrangement can obtain just
and fair proportion of the use OF them.
We do not care to have tho control of the
terminal company, but ali we want is fair
rangement The Great Northern, on the other
hand. wants to keep all it has and share with
the other roads what they have. Furthermore,
our offer OF terminal facilities contemplated an
arrangement On north and south lines with
out blocking up any streets the tracks and
depot laying between COMMERCIAL and Third
streets.
General Manager P. p. Shelby said:
Yes. they propose 10 fight our depot scheme.
but II won't do them any good. We don't want

water. We want to keep on solid ground where
we can erect buildings that viii be credit to
