THE DEMANDS REFUSED.

General Managers of the Railroads
Have Determined to Fight the Men
as One Road-An; Union Men VIII
be Discharged In Case OF a Strike.
CHICAGO, March 9.-Without a dissent
ing vote the general managers of the rail-
roads entering Chicago determined to-day
to refuse any demands of the Switchmen'a
Mutual Aid association. An answer was
sent to the swithmen by the general man
ayers of the thirty-two roads declining to
grant any increase over the present rates.
The answer enoloses resolutions adopted
unanimously by the managers declaring
that the ecale of wages paid on the Chicago
lines Is practically uniform; that the
switchmen of Chicago and vicinity are paid
the highest rate ever paid for similar ser
vice and higher than is paid in many
localities; and that the revenue from
traffic has constantly decreased and the
cost of the service has constantly in
creased to the extent that no advance in
wages can be granted and no change made
from the present rules affecting the COM
pensation of tho men.
The switshmen have not yet dsterml ned
what course they will pursue and officers
of the sscoiation decline to discuss the
situation. If they should decide to strike
the contest would be a bitter one, as the
general managers have determined to act
as a unit and fight the men as one road.
The general managers have also agreed
to discharge all union men on their lines
in case the roads should be crippled by q
strike of switchmen. This will apply to
engineers, conductors, fremen, and in
fsot all branches of organized railroad
labor. The general managers say they will
not pay union men for nothing when their
fdlensss Is enforced by strikers, to whom
they are giving aid and announcement. In
the event of a general dismissal of union
men the vacancies are to be filled as rapidly
as possible with non union men.
Chief of Police McClaughreY was present
at the general managers meeting and
promised all aid In his power to enforce
order in the event of Q strike.
The grand master of the Switchmen's
union. in speaking of the possibility of q
strike, said: "Ths matter will be decided
by q vote, and all lodges cannot take action
and make q report before the end of the
week and no action will be taken before
the end of the week. We will not act has

HurFies Away.
WASHINGTON, March 9-The one great
feature of interest In political circles to day
was the visit of Senator Hill to his great
est political rival, President Cleveland.
Senator Hill came to the White House this
morning by appointment, presumably ar
ranged by Congressman Rockwell of New
York during his visit to Mr.. Cleveland on
Tuesday. That his visit was more than .
mere perfunotory call is attested by the
length of the interview. It lasted twenty
minutes, and during that time Mr.. Cleve-
land received no cards from the waiting
politicians In the cabinet room
Mr.. Hill came early. The great food of
Office seekers had not begun to flow into
the White House when he arrived. He
passed rapidly through the hallway in the
public part of the mansion into the room
Of Private Secretary Thurber, who evil:
IDENTIFY had been posted, for he ushered
Mr.. HDl into the adjoining executive Office
without q moments delay. When Mr.
Hill entered the presidents room, word
was sent 10 Doorkeeper LoeAer that Mr..
Cleveland was very busi1y engaged and
could not see any visitors for some time
As consequence the arriving delegations
soon filed the cabinet room, and by the
time Mr.. Hill left the White House there
were more men than seats in the apart
mont.
The interview was of strictly private
character, but from the fact that 1t had
been previously arranged and from its
length there can be little doubt that it was
of more than q mere official social charae.

Theory OF Her safety Advanced ~ the
Captain of the Runic.
NEW York, March 9.-Captain Henry
st. George Lindsay of the White Star
steamship Runio, that got into this port
yesterday, said to-day that he believed the
Naronic to be still safely afoat, although
he saw no trace of her while coming across
the ocean. He added that he thought the
missing steamer vas somewhere between
the 20th and 8Oth degrees of longitude,
in the vicinity of the Azores. He bases
his opinion ON the course of the wind and
currents In that part of the ocean. He
would not think the ship had been loat, he
declared, until she had been overdue full
month. In that time, If she was afoat,
abe would almost certainly be seen BY
some weasel.
The agents had nothing to say about the
ship to-day.
The opinion of Captain Lindsay confirms
that held by ]. Maitland Kerssy, the Whit,
Star Lines agent in this city. The genera
direction of the wind has not changed Il

President Cleveland SENT In q oea-
Treaty with Hawaii - Another
Treaty Will be Made.
WARRINGTON, March 9.-President
Oleveland's first executive Communication
to the senate of the United States came
this afternoon and proved 10 be . surprise
not only to the republicans but to many
democrats as well. In the communication
President Cleveland withdrew the treaty
with Hawaii, which was sent to the senate
few weeks ego by President Harrison.
The message was short and TO the point,
the president simply requesting the senate
to transmit to the executive the proposed
treaty with Hawaii.
The message was received without COM
ment on the floor of the senate, although
the republicans were prone to criticiss the
proceeding with considerable emphasis
among themselves.
Republican senators regard this action
of the president q In line with the eourse
pursued by Mr.. Cleveland In Withdrawing
the Nicarsguan treaty SAINT 10 the senate
by Mr.. Arthur in the closing days Of his
administration.
Democratic senators look upon the act
from two fold point of view, some taking
the ground that Il shows Mr.. Cleveland TO
be against annexation or American domi-
nation of any soil In the Hawaiian Islands,
while others hold that he will send In an
other treaty more to his liking. Whether
or not he will favor the making of another
treaty, and whether IL will be an an
nexstion treaty or not, cannot be said on
authority ct this time, but . gentleman
who has talked with the president on the
subject, said this afternoon that another
treaty would b made.
1t is intimatsd that the president Will
suggest either by message or personally to
senators that q commission be appointed
to visit the Hawaiian Islands this year
during the interval between the adjourn
ment of the special ssssion of the senate
and the reoonvening Of the next congress.
Mr.. Cleveland, heretofore, has been quite
solicitous on this point and made inquiries
as to whether or not the resolutions pro-
viding for such Q commission had gone
through. He had been apparently under
the impression that It had been adopted.
He learned that 1t had not been but that
the senate had authority alone to provide
for such commission, probably to consist
of senators, and that the contingent fund
of the senate could be drawn on for this
purpose.
The news that the annexation treaty had
been Withdrawn from the senate by Presi-
dent Cleveland was not wholly q surprise
to the Hawaiian commissioners None of
them were willing to express an opinion
upon the meaning of the movement, but
apparently they were not greatly disoour-
aged over the situation. eve are willing"
said one of them, ''to discuss the matter
with the new secretary of state and en-
deavor to meet the views of the present
administration. We are not bound to any
particular wording of the document
Whether we would discuss treaty looking
to any form of union with the United
States l cannot say at present"
or not there YVES any explanation to be
made of the withdrawal. "No,n he re-
piled, "at least not at present"

AvOWED HIS GUILT.

M. Baihut In His Testimony in the
Panama Scandal Created q Sensa.

PARIS, March "a great sensation was
caused to-day in the investigation of the
Panama canal scandal. The court room
was thronged with excited spectators. N.

Judge and when he had concluded the great

N. Baihaut was called upon to answer

ceived, but feared thereby to accuse my

Up to this moment N. Baihut had spoken
clearly and with apparent self control.
Now he broke down, and with an express
sion of sorrow and despair, he exclaimed
in broken voice: 1T acknowledge having
been led sstrsy. am guilty. Ny words

There was decided stir in the court
room when MI. Baihaut began his pitiful
avowal of guilt, and this increased as he
proceeded.
NJ Blondin was questioned by the presid-
ing judge as to how he came to act as in
termediary between the Panama company
and N. Baihut Blondin denied that he
had instigated M. Baihut's demand for
money and that he had received $500 f.
for his services in arranging matters be-
tween the minister and directors.
The examination of NJ. Sans-Leroye1
was then opened. he stated that the
100, 000f which he paid to the Credit
Lyonaiss in April, 1883, was the reinvest
ment of part of his wife's dowry Of
200, 000f. He could produce the deeds Of
