DETROIT, MICK. March 2S.-The Grand
Trunk railroad Of Canada and its Michigan
branches. the Detroit. Grand Haven and Mil
waukee, the Chicago and Grand Trunk and
other laterals. aud the main line and ali the
branches OF the Canadian Pacific are
tottering on the edge OF a strike
which. il 1t takes place, will effec-
lively tie up those arteries OF commerce
ana make havoc among many lines Of trade
There appears TO be but one way in which this
can be averted. and that is for the Canadian
Pacihc TO take action toward restoring the
brotherhood of railway trainmen discharged
from its far western divisions between winni-
peg and Vancouver. The unanimous expres-
sion among the Detroit brotherhood is that the
strike viii extend as stated above il the fight 10
persisted in.
A delegation of the brotherhood from the
Canadian side was in Detroit Monday IN con-
ference with local officials and the conference
took the form OF calling special meetings Of the
brotherhood an their various lodges in Michi-
gan anu 1anada Tor the purpose Of deciding
upon the action TO be taken.
PREPARING FOR TRoUBLE
ToRoSTo. March 23-The Canadian Pacific
authorities on this division have done their
share in supplying men to take charge Of any
Trains tnat may De lett unnamed by the etrik-
ers. Last night ten full train crews and fifty
special constables left for North Bsy. The
constables are armed with revolyers, for which
they carry ball cartridges. and have also q
supply Of handouts. Among the number are
several old and experienced officers who will
lie prepared for any emergency.
The party are due at North BAY at about 4
a. m. and il will be at that point. IL is thought
here, that trouble may be looked for General
Superintendent TAFT though admitting that
they expected trouble the main line. denied
that they saw any indication of the strike eK-
tending 30 or affecting the Ontario and Quebec
division.
THEY WILL NOT STRIKE.
ST. JOIN, n. H., March %. Dispatches have
been pouring in from all directions asking II
the men on the Atlantic division Of the Cana
dian Pacific intended 10 strike in sympathy
with the train hands in the west Conduc-
tor Cassidy, who is the representative here of
the order OF Railway Conductors, said there
would be no strike on this section.
WISNIPEo, MAN, March 23.-The refusal Of
the engine drivers to join the trainmen IN their
strike has very much dishoartened the latter
and there is strong evidence that they will
abandon their position and seek TO effect .
settlement with the Canadian Pacific. So far
the regular trains between Montreal and Van
couver are running The movement Of freight
alone is impeded.

THE SILVER DEBATE.
Some Reasons why an Effort May BE Made
to PrOlong II.

There is no prospect Of an understanding be-
tween the two factions in the House as to the
time when a vote may be had on the Bland bill.
1t is universally agreed that the anti-silver
men cannot muster enough votes to effect
either the defeat or postponement Of the bill,
but they are working with as much
earnestness as if they had some
hope still Members who are known to be
silver men are being deluged with kilograms
from nearly all parts of the west urging them
to vote against the measure or to postpone the
whole matter.
contest on both sides, and there is Q feeling
that the democratic party Is now passing
through q most critical stage Of its prepara-
tion for the national struggle.
The anti-silver men evidently feel that the
party will be doomed to defeat next fall IL thew
equally certain that failure to pass It would
be fatal to the party. Both sides,
however, insist that it is not .
party question and every encouragement Ia
given to republicans who viii speak for free
Bland will move the previous ques-
ton on the bill The flibustering on the
part of the opponents of the measure will
then begin and will be Of indefinite duration.
II the legislative day Of Thursday passes with
ous = Noec ou VIC oiu tuc special Or0er Will be
exhausted. There are two ways for the silver
men to meet this difficulty.
One is to prolong the Legislative day indefi-
nitely by refusing to adjourn. which they can
do with majority vote. The other IL TO get
q special order from the committee on rules
fixing time for a vote on the measure
They will probably try both plans The first
will be to prevent an adjournment. A vote
on that proposition will be test of the strength
OF the two factions. II the anti-silver men
could muster enough votes to bring shout an
adjournment in face of opposition on the
other side it would practically WIN the fiRht.
This, however, is improbable.
The difficulty in the way Of q report from
the committee on rules 10 that Mr.. Catchings IL

report from the committee during his sb-
sence the silver men will have TO depend
upon the good viii of the republican members
Of the committee. II one Of the republican
members Of the rules committee win absent
himself from the committee meeting the demo-
Gratis will have . majority and can re-
port . special rule. Otherwise they
will have 70 await the return
Of Mr.. Catchings. and meanwhiIe the matter
would have 70 lie over and the fight would have
70 start again from the bsginning, with the de-
bate only left out
