OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 29.-Chief Arthur
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, is on his way to the Pacific
coast. Under his instructions all the
brotherhoods are being polled on all the
roads, IN order to get vote on the ques-
ton OF ordering a general strike. Ac-
cording to the rules of the brotherhood
a general strike cannot be ordered with
out consenting vote from two-thirds of
the members of the organization.
The local brotherhoods have held
meetings nearly every night for several
weeks at their headquarters in West
Oakland, and have had a number of con-
ferences with Superintendent Fillmore
and other Southern Pacific officials.
Delegations of engineers have been here
from Arizona, Oregon and Nevada Their
sessions have all been executive and the
engineers have refused to divulge any of
their proceedings. or plans.
The engineers on Wijer's division are
IN favor of striking, but are somewhat

COMMENTS ON MESSAGE.
View of the London Press on the FL
nancIal Document.

nancial Document.
LONDON, Jan. Recommending edi-
torially on the message sent TO con-
gress by President Cleveland, the
Standard says: sit is a state paper
Of very high quality To us it is
amazing that language of such plain
ness should be necessary. To offer
to pay national obligations in silver
is to cheat the creditor of more than
half his due. No self-respecting, hon
orable people co uld contemplate the
preparation of such a fraud with
anything but horror and disgust.
The Daily News believes that Pres
ident Cleveland's protest will be ig-
nored and that more bonds will be
issued on the runlous conditions as
before.
The Chronicle fears that the presi-
dents spirited appeal will fall on
deaf ears, especially if the belief pre-
walls in congress that the cat is about
to Jump on the silver side of the fence.
The Times says: THE message is
a very weighty, indeed. a rather
alarming document The life of the
present congress is too brief for the
hope of the adoption of President
Cleveland's suggestions, even if ma
jority should favor them. 1t is i'm
probable that the next congress will
adopt Mr.. Clevelands lead, and in
any case, it may be doubted whether
an attempt begun in March to cope
with the decline of GOLD would be too
late to avert the serious consequence
anticipated, hence Mr.. Cleveland's
plan is only of speculative interest.
