NO STRIKE LIKELY.
Chief MOrrissey Thinks Trouble on
jersey Central Will Be Settled
Satisfa ctOrily.

Cleveland, O., April 1O.-Grand Chief
Morrissey, of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, who has just ar
rived home from New York, said to
the press correspondent Tuesday that
Notwithstanding the failure of the
various heads of labor organizations
to secure conference with Vice
President Warren, he still thought
the trouble on the Central railway of
New Jersey would be settled satisfac-
torily to all concerned without a
strike
Mr.. Morrissey said that he had re-
ceived nothing official concerning the
vote of employees being taken on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. He
declared that the entire matter rests
now with the men themselves as to
whether or not strike shall take
place.
New York, April 1O.-The employees
of the Central Railway of New Jersey
are balloting in secret on the strike
question and if two-thirds vote af-
firmatively they will leave their posts
as soon as the result is officially de-
clared and the approval of the ma
tional officers secured. The situation
is critical one and hinges entirely
upon the result of the remarkable
election that is now in progress.

Description of Monument.
. The equestrian statue of Logan unveiled
Tuesday represented seven years of labor
on the part of Franklin Simmons, the
sculptor. and marks a departure in sculp-
ture in Washington in that it rests upon

ated $4,000 for the statue and SIS. 900 was
contributed by the Grand Army of the
Republic. The pedestal is 20 feet high. On
it's west face is a group representing Cen
Logan in consultation with leading off,
GERS in the army of the Tennessee. In this
group are portrait bronzes of Gems Dodge

Capt. Strong. On the east face of the
pedestal is group representing Gen. Lo-
gan taking the oath as United States sem
ator, which is being administered by Vice
President Arthur. In this group are por-
trait bronzes of Senators Culom, Eyarts

The President Speaks.
Following a brief introduction by
Gen. Dodge, President Mckinley de-
livered an address in part as follows:
my Fellow Citizens: 1t is a good token
when patriots are honored and patriotism
exalted Monuments which express the
nations gratitude for great deeds inspire
great deeds. The statue unveiled to-day
proclaims our country's appreciation OF
one of her heroic sons whose name is dear
to the American people, the ideal volun-
teer soldier of two wars, the eminent SEN
ator and commoner. Gen. John A. Logan.
Logan's career was unique. His distinc-
ton does not rest upon his military
achievements alone. His services in the
legislature of his own state, In the ma
tional house of representatives and in the
senate of the United States would have
given him an equally conspicuous place In
the annals of the country. He was great
in the forum and in the field.
Some names instantly Suggest senti-
ment That of Logan stands for exalted
patriotism This was the key of his sue
cess. Party politics to him was nothing
when the union was in danger. When the
alternative came he was swift to dedi-
cate his life and fortune to the party of
Lincoln because 1t stood for the indivisi-
bility of the union. How much he did to
create and increase the sentiment of 10y
atty and patriotism among the people of
his own state and throughout the nation
can never be told. He stood with Douglas
holding up the cause of the union and Of
fered his own life as cheerful sacrifice,
If need be. for its preservation.
LAS popular orator his voice has been
heard in every state and territory of the
union, always for his country and for the
flag he loved.
1.-The highest eulogy ever paid him was
by his father. The latter in his will d.
vided his property between his widow and
children equally, except-and quote from
the will-"John Alexander. whose marked
abilities are such that he can provide for
himself and aid his mother If necessary.
This provision is not made from want of
affection, but because of unbounded con-
fidence in his future success" What
remarkable tribute from father to son!

quicken the young mans noblest aspira-
tons and call out the best that was In him.

fidence To have inherited. to have de-

go 1glesias, delegate of the Fedora
ton of Labor of Porto Rico, who ar

the workmen of Porto Rico to Presi-
dent Mckinley
In this petition, which bears 5000
signatures, the Porto Ricans say:
Misery, with all its horrible conse-
quences, is spreading in our homes
with wonderful rapidity. 1t has al
ready reached such an extreme that
many workers are starving to death,
while others that have not the cour-
age to see their mothers, wives, sis
ters and children perish by hunger,
commit suicide by drowning them
selves in the rivers or hanging them
selves from branches of trees"

Senator Depew's Speech.
The grafton of the day was deliv-
cred by Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, jun
ior United States senator from New
York. He spoke in part as follows:
"In the crises of our fate as nation God
seems to have raised up and prepared men
specially for the accomplishment of the
wonderful purposes which He had in store
for the republic. But these wonderful in
telligences, ready for great occasions and
the accomplishment of historic deeds, are
inactive and undistinguished in communi-
ties like ours until their country calls them
to duty. The Mexican war at once fired
the imagination of the adventurous youth
of our land. 1t carried young Logan, with
a musket, as a private in the ranks of his
company across the Rio Grande, and he
won his shoulder straps in the bloody bat
ties under Gems. Taylor and Scott. This
baptism of fire opened the mind, enlarged
the horizon and pointed out larger future
than ever dreamed of before for himself
and for his country 20 this enthusiastic
lad"
After paying a splendid tribute to Gen.
Logan as the typical American soldier
Senator Depew said:
"Logans brilliant career emphasizes the
necessity for a military education. In
arms, as in art, in the professions and the
industries, the severest training and the
best education are the requisites for sue
cess in our day of terrific competition. We
will not dispute Logan's claim, carried toe
far in his enthusiasm. of the distinction OF
the natural soldier; but, great as were the
merits of our general, if his genius hal
been trained. broadened, and strengthened
by the drill and discipline of the academy
the fort and the field, he would have stood
in the front rank of the commanders OF
great armies of modern times
