VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 29.-The
strike of the railroad operators of the
Canadian Pacific railway was a. complete
surprise to the officials of the Pacific divis-
ion. The signal agreed upon was Scar
field is dead" and on its receipt all opera
tors on the division excepting two, one a
dispatcher, went out General .Superin-
tendent Abbott states he was not aware
that any cause for complaint existed on
his division, and that the first intimation
he had was telegram from Assistant
General Manager TAFT, Montreal, stating
that committee, claiming to represent
the operators of the entire system, wished
to consult the management on certain
grievances and present a schedule for
future observation. The general manager
referred the committee to The company's
rule which provides that all grievances on
the part of EN- ployes must first be brought
to the attention of divisional officials.
This not having been done the manage
ment declined to hear the committee. It
is, however, asserted by the.operators that
the men on the Western division did go to
their divisional officers first and were de-
MED hearing, and then went to Mon
treaI. where they were similarly treated.
AT Montreal they were tolo they were re-
fused hearing there because they had
not laid the matter before the officers of
their division. This. they explained, was
impossible because the divisional officers
would not listen to them.
Thus the matter stands and only inyes-
tigation can show which side is right. On
learning last evening that a strike was
contemplated, General Superintendent
Abbott issued the following circular to the
operators on his division:
Reports circulated by a committee of
operators at Montreal intimate possible
strike. Every movement of the committee
there has been ill-advised and unwar.

irresponsible stories were started to-dav
to the effect that men were being sent ont
to watch stations along the line, for fear
OF their being set on fire, but such stories
were utterly groundless. The manage

OF anything of the kind occurring. To-
days eAstbound train was dispatched on

will prove failure. The men are badly

OTTAWA, ONT, Sept. 29.-In conse-
quence of the Canadian Pacific Railway

Nothing definite can be learned regarding

WINNIPEG, MAN, Sept. 29.-Although
there is a general strike of operators at

quarters of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers in this city it is stated that the
primary cause of the strike on the
Canadian Pacific is that the officials un-
dertook TO force the train-dispatchers to
withdraw from the organization, threaten
ing discharge. This action was taken three
months ago.
No Withdrawals have taken place nor
have any discharges resulted. Efforts
have been making meanwhile to ad jus t
the matter. 1t is denied at headquarters
that the order had not complied with the
rule OF the company requiring COM
plants to be made to division head

was first presented to the division super

Sir William Van Horn and possibly to the
directors, if. such action becomes neces-

Ross of Stanford Hrites Some Demo-
cratic Campaign Material.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 29.-Professor E.
A. Ross of Leland Stanford University,
CAL, has written a letter charging that
college professors are coerced into talking
for the gold standard. The letter was to-
day given out at Democratic headquar-
ters:
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Sept. %, 1896.
Hon. James d. Richardson, Chief National
Democratic Literary Bureau, Chicdgo-DEAR SIR ):
You inquire II l think there is perfect freedom
OF expression among college professors
throughout the country on the money ques-
ton. 1 would say that don't think there is.
don't know there are many who wish 10
champion National bimetallism, but / am
very sure that if there were such they would
in many cases be compelled TO surrender their
present live lihood in order to do so.
My basis for this belief is experience in va
rions Fsstern insrituIIons. The ettirude of
boards OF trustees regarding teaching on sub
Jects much less important than the money
question, and knowledge OF the notions boards
OF trustees, comprised of wealthy individuals,
entertain regarding their supervision OF
economic teaching. DennitiZing the second
point, would mention the experience of Pro-
lessor H. c. Adams in Cornell University, Pro-
lessor Ely in Johns Hopkins University, Pro-
lessor Commons in Indiana University and in
Syracuse University, Professor Bemis in Chi
cago University and in connection with other
institutions.
Being on the coast, quite out of touch with
my professional brethren, ! am not able to
cite very many definite cases of coercion on
the present question. / will mention, how
ever, the following: Professor j. S. Clark of
Columbia told friend of mine that he be-
lieved Professor Andrews must certainly be
forced out OF the presidency at Brown Univer-
sity. AT the meeting of the American Eco
nomic Association last winter was told that
one Professor Duvray of Pennsylvania had
strong leanings toward free silver and that his
colleagues had TO labor hard to hold him back.
Later | asked a gentleman connected with that
Institution what would happen if the pro-
fessor should declare for free silver. His
answer was Immediately, "He would lose his
posi- tion." The gentleman is Mr.. @. w. Mac
farland, who is q writer on economic subjects
and is not free silver man. would urge
that you write TO him If possible. Further
more, obtain an interview with Professor Z.
w. Bemis, who is at present in Chicago and
who has some very interesting facts on the
subject. Very truly yours E A. Ross

TANKS NOT USED FOR BALLAST
One Little Act That May Endanger
International Contests in
the Future.

LONDON, Eng, Sept 29.-Prior to leav-
ing for New YORK, Howard Gould, owner
of the yacht Niagara, under date of Sep
tember 16, has addressed an extended let
ter to the council of the Yacht Racing AS
sociation, reviewing the action taken by it
anent the Niagara's water-tanks Just after
the race OF the Royal Thames Club,
May %.
Mr.. Gould specifies the size of the tanks,
quotes Dixon Kemp's letter for the asso-
citation, officially disclaimlng that the
committee believed there was any truth
to the charge that the tanks were used for
shifting ballast, but requesting change in
piping, and, says this communication was
the first notice he had from the association
of "this extraordinary action on their
part"
Mr.. Gould's letter of June 20, in reply
thereto, is quoted emphatically denying
that the tanks were so used, and Mr..
Gould winds up his farewell in forceful
style, in which are the following words:
Had 1 been communicated with prior
to this discourteous and unusual visit, 1
would gladly have established the follow
ing facts:
First. that the Niagara was measured
with her water-tanks empty; second,
that the water in the tanks had never been
used and was not used in any instance as
shifting ballast; and thirdly, that it was
impracticable to make advantageous the
tanks for such purpose had I desired to
do so.
81 am surprised that I never received
any explanation of the course pursued in
boarding the yacht without communicate
ing with me, although 1 characterized
such action as discourteous at the time.
"In the absence of such explanation or
disavowal on the part of the Yacht Racing
Association, consider the course pursued
not only discourteous, but personally of
fensiye and essentially destructive of the
amicable relations which lie at the very
foundation OF the existence of interna-
tional contests of this character"

uncomfortable environments. The hall
had been but sparsely decorated with flags
and banners. Over the platform were the
portraits of Bryan and Sewall. In the
gallery was stationed brass band, and
the patriotic tunes rendered aroused the
exuberance of the, crowd. a liberal sup
ply of small American flags had been
passed around and these were kept con-
tinuously waving by the enthusiastic
shouters.
Tammany was determined that every
word uttered by Mr.. Bryan should be
heard by those in the hall, and with this
end in view had erected sounding board,
in the shape of q canopy, directly over
the speakers position on the platform,
the candidate standing under it while
speaking.
The meeting was called to order by
John w. Keller, the presiding officer of
the evening, at 7:45 o'clock. At that hour
there were over 5000 persons congregated
in the hall.
Resolutions were read and adopted i'm
dorsing the platform adopted at the Ma
tional convention held in Chicago and the
State Democratic Convention at Buffalo,
and the candidates named on those occa-
sions.
Immediately after the adoption of the
resolutions Mr.. Bryan, accom- panied by
Mr.. Sewall, Senator Thomas +. Grady,
Senator DAILY of New Jersey and George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts, appeared
on the platform. A great outburst OF ap-
plause and cheering greeted Mr.. Bryan's
appearance. The moment the audience
caught sight of him, hats. handkerchiefs
and American flags went up in all parts of
the hall. Cheer after cheer rent the air.
The cheering and applause continued for
eight minutes, and at the conclusion MIR.
Bryan was introduced by the chairman.
After thanking Tammany, Mr.. Bryan re-
peated his silver argument, with lew va

A special train will be chartered for the
