NEW YORK, March 1.-THE work of
unloading the English locomotive and
the two passenger cars, which arrived
at this port on the freighter Runic for
exhibition at the Worlds fair in Chi.
cago. was begun yesterday morning.
The work had to be done with the ut
most care. One of the largest rail
floats of the New York Central rail-
read was made fast alongside the
Runic. Then one of the powerful
floating derricks of the company was
moored outside of the float. By means
of the derrick the locomotive and cars
were hoisted from the deck of the
steamship and lowered on the float,
where they had to be placed upon the
tracks. .
The float will be lowed to the yard of
the New York Central & Hudson River
railroad at West Thirty-third street
and the locomotive will be drawn up
onto the tracks in the yards in the
same manner as freight cars are drawn
off the boats. Then the engine and
cars will be boxed and packed for the
trip to the west
The train will go boxed all except as
to wheels, and the locomotive and cars

Aasociation-The Roads VIII Act In Com
cert In Resisting Strikes.
CHICAGO. March a.-Without dis
senting vote the general managers OF
the railroads entering Chicago deter
mined, at their meeting this afternoon.
to refuse any demands Of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association. An an
swer was sent TO the switchmen by the
general managers of thirsy-two roads
centering in Chicago declining to grant
any increase over the present schedule
of rates and enclosing the following
mously at the meeting:
Resolred That this association has carefully
examined the schedule Of wages paid by the
Chicago roads to foremen and helpers In switch
ing service. and that it finds that the scale Of
wages paid on the Chicago lines Is practically
uniform: and we find that the switchmen OF
Chicago and vicinity are now paid the highest
rate ever paid for similar service. and higher
than is paid in many localities. Further. that
the revenue from freight and passenger trafnc
has constantly decreased and the cost Of service
has constantly increased to the extent that no
advance in wages can be granted and that no
change can be made from the present schedule
Of rules affecting the compensation Of men en-
gagged in this service.
This answer was sent to the officers
of the Switchmen's association yester-
day afternoon and ends the trouble SO
far as the managers are concerned.
The switchnen have not yet determined
what course they will pursue and of
course. decline to discuss the situation.
If they should decide to strike the
as the general managers of the thirty
two roads have determined to act as a
unit and fight the men as one road. A
still more significant determination
reached by the general managers is an
agreement to discharge all union men
on their lines in case the roads should
be crippled by strike of switchmen.
This will apply to engineers, con-
ductors, fremen and in fact all branches
of organized railroad labor. The gem
eral managers say they will not pay
union men for doing nothing when
their idleness ois enforced by strikers
to whom they are giving aid and en-
couragement. In the event of gem
eral dismissal of the union men the
vacancies are to be filed as rapidly as
possible with non-union:men, the roads
to act in concert in securing new men
and to distribute them according to the
needs of individual roads
Chief of Police McClaughrey was
present at the general managers meet
ing and promised all aid in his power
to enforce order in event of a strike.
The switchmen demand that the
rate of pay for day foremen be made
thirty-two cents per hour; day helpers.
thirty cents per hour; night foremen.
thirty -four cents; night helpers, thirty
two cents, and that ten hours work be
guaranteed each crew night or day.
This is an advance of five cents pc.

The inaugural address of President
Cleveland was worthy of the man and
the occasion Higher praise could not
be given. Less praise would fall
short Of justice. The prevailing spirit
of the address is that of patriotism. In
this it is like the paternal addresses OF

President Cleve.and's inaugural adj
dress is brief and directly to the point

immediately concern the well being

Grover Cleveland became twenty
fourth president of the United States,
in the prime of his powers, being in
his .ffty-seventh year, in good health,
and having had four years experience
as twenty second president of the
United States. He carries to the exec
utive of the greatest of nations mature
Judgment. phenomenal independence
of will and courage to seek to effectu-
ate by constitutional means the demo-
cratic principles upon which he has been
elected. His second installation in the
white house marks the beginning of
new era in the progress of the Amer
lean people. Chicago Herald.
Not the least impressive part of the
proceedings was the inaugural address
of the newly-installed president. Mr..
Cleveland has well-established repu-
tation for happiness in the making of
addresses, and on this occasion he was
more than usually felicitous. The adj
dress is broad, strong. statesmanlike
and in the best sense fitting to the oc-
casion. There is no attempt at orator
ical or rhetorical display. It is the
plain speech of a plain man to plain
people. In its earnestness, however,
its conciseness, its grasp of the situa-
ton, it is model of what such speech
on such an occasion should be. 1t is
the right word at the right time and
in the right place. Free Press.
