American Railroad Pu,xf~s.

1t is impossible to get y slear and ac-
curate idea of the financial adminisfra-
ton Of American railroad lines. Many
of the gaeat companies present the APP
pearance Of a real chaos. of a labyrinth
Il. which it is almost impossible TO find
ones way. This is due to various
causes, not to refer to the desire which
the managers of u company may have
to keep cut the light. Many compa-
MES do not co nfne Themselves to irons
portation: they possess mines, they
make a commission in merchandise,
they construct and operate elevators
they operate canals, they are propric-
tors or iesseaa OF distant lines; more
over. portion OF the freight has been.
conceded to special companies, who pay
toll, who lend rolling stock to the COM
pany, and this Company is e kholacr

this that the stations are the common
property OF several railway companies,
or belong to q particular company. Un-
der these conditions it is easy 20 sec
how complicated the accounts must be.

CINCINNATI. July2.-The engineers Of
the various roads ccntering in this city
have wavercG and at last broken their
promise not to participate in the strike.
An execut tive session OF the brother
hood of locomotive engineers, MEM
bcrs of the southern, was held at the
West End Turner hall, Sunday after
noon at o'clock. and after nearly five
hours dclibcration the men unanimous
~ decided to go out.
Every engineer on the Cincinnati di-
vision extending to Somcrsethas taken
ND the gauntlet and the throttle will
be pulled by imported men Monday, il
pulled at all. The action is not the re-
suit of call issued by Chief Arthur,
but the result of the meeting of the
division men only, their action having
been taken voluntarily. When the re-
suit became known, connected with
the fact that the engineers of all the
other roads were also in session, the
feeling became intense in official rail
way circles.
Although the other engineers had
not decided TO go out in body, num-
Der Of them voluntarily did so. The
next announcement which came was
that several engineers on the Big Four
had left their engines. They were fol-
lowed by few upon the i. & O., and
later by an order for the four yard
crews working ON the j.. & n. to go
out.
Outside Of the southern road about
ten engines were voluntarily deserted
during the day and Monday morning
promises to witness many more.
A committee of engineers from tho
different roads win meet at o'clock
Monday morning Mt Nlilldale and make
strenuous efforts to completely tie up
the L. & \. road This decision was
made at Sunday nights meeting OF
strikers and fully fifty men will go
out.
The l.. & \. is entirely out with tho
exception of engineers and road crews,
and should the men meet with success
this road will be shut down completely
at Coyington.
The c. & O. engineers were in at=
tendance at the meeting in q body, and
reported that nothing but passenger
trains were now running,
Another meeting of the b. Of L. Z.
will he held Sunday, the news having
become general that the molnentous
question would be definitely settled.
In consideration OF the fact that some
Of the engineers of several of the roads
voluntarily quit, the strikers were jubi.
liant, and declared that the remaining
men would at last be brought over to
their side,
The action of the Southern engineers
Is said to have been caused by their
aversion to working with ''scabs"
whom the company insisted upon in-
stalling in the strikers places.

municntion to the railway employees Of
America in which he called attention
to the great contest, reciting the causes
and outlining the policy Of the Ameri-

the situation and urging united action
on the part of the employees, the address
concluded with the following appeal:
appeal to the striking men everywhere to
refrain from any net OF violence Let there be
DO interference with the affairs Of the several
companies involved. and above nll let there he
no act of depreciation. A man who will destroy
property or violate tho law IL an enemy and
not friend to the cause Of labor. The great
public Is with us, and we need only to maintain
o dignillcd. honest. straightforward policy to
achieve victory.
Let it ne understood that this strike Is not
ordered by myself. CT tiny other individual. nor
Is the strike inauguratCd anywhere except by
consent and authority OF The employees thcm-
selves. Neither IS this fight simply OF the
American Railway Union Tho question Of Or
ganiz0tiOn ought not to be raised. hut every
man who believes in organized railroad labor
should take his stand on lhcsidc OF labor and
battle for his rights and the rights of his fellow
men, have faith IN the great body OF railway
employees OF the country. and am confident they
will remain m unbroken front In spite OF any
opposition that may be brought to bear against
them.
I am confident Of success. We can not fill.

CHICAGO. July Not since the days
OF the civil war has the government
building presented SO animated an APP
pearance. so far as it's interior is con-
cerncd. as it did Sunday. All Saturday
night the windows on the third story,
fronting on Adams street, were ablaze
with lights, and the representatives of
the railroad companies that dragged
themselves up the steps to learn the
latest intelligence from the govern
mentpoint of view. found United States

the corridor filled with citizens anxious
and willing to be sworn in for service.
Enrolment began in earnest atnoon,

of allegiance to the United States and
received their commissions. Fifteen
hundred 3S-calibcr rifles were stacked
On the floor in front Of the bookcases,
Immediately behind the desk Of Chief
Donnelly. while over in the corner
were piled high several thousand
rounds of revolver ammunition. A gun
and supply of cartridges were fur

ly upon the oath being administered,
and he was then stationed in the ante
rooms to await call for services.
Sunday the leaders of the union were

week, unless a settlement of the
trouble at issue has been effected in
the meantime, every railroad in the
United States, east as we'll as west,
will be under as much of an embargo

INCOME TAX PASSES.
That Feature Settled Ii is Now a
Question of Only Few Hours
when the Tariff Ell Shall Come Out the
Committee of the Whole and BE Be
fore tho Scnate-The Sugar
Schedule to De Modified.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Senator Har-
ris smoothed his wrinkled front at /
o'clock Thursday, when one OF the
most crucial stages in the considera-
ton of the tariff bill was passed In
safety. This was accomplished by the
defeat of Senator Hills motion to
strike out from the bill the entire in
come tax features by the vote OF "a
to 90.
The end of battle over the income
tax makes it now question OF few
hours when the bill shall come out OF
the committee of the whole and be be-
fore the senate itself. This may hap
pen Friday, although it is more likely
not to occur until Saturday.
The progress of the bill is liable TO
complications because of the presence
in the senate of joint resolution
passed by the house Wednesday extend
ing current appropriations.
That the tariff is again in danger be-
cause Of the uncertain attitude OF the
populist senators, as well as OF two or
three wavering democrats, is now con-
ceded. Senator'S Allen, Kyle, PETER
and Irby are holding daily conferences
but they do not seem to reach any
united agreement, except that each
shall conceal his decision till the last
moment, and in the meantime extort
from the managers all concessions they
can.
The most important development
Thursday was the discovery that the
majority members of the finance COM
mittee have agreed to modify the sugar
schedule. They have agreed upon
amendments to this schedule. Exactly
what these changes are to be can not
be stated upon the authority of any
member of the finance committee,
every one being pledged to secrecy
There is ground for belief that the
sugar schedule is to be made to take
effect immediately upon the passage Of
the bill, instead of being postponed un-
til next January. This is condition
upon which the populists insists. This
may explain why the sugar trust is SO
rapidly increasing its stock of raw
sugar at this time instead of extending
its purchases of the sugar crop OF the
world over the next six months.
1t is believed also that the bounty Of
nine tenths of one cent per pound may
be given to domestic sugar for this
years crop. This would give the sugar
growers, together with the duty OF 40
per cent. ad valorem, the equivalent of
the present bounty for this year 1t Is
this concession which is designed to
win over Mr.. Allen to the support of
the bill.
