ROAD NOT PREPARING FOR TROUBLE
Grand Chief Clark Of Conductors Is Helping
to Settle Coal Strike.

o. N. Shepard superintendent OF the New-York
division of the New-York, New-Haven and Hart
ford Railroad. said yesterday that In the railroad
brotherhoods a vote a strike on any division
must be approved by the Grand CHIEF Of the
brotherhood to which the men belong before the
strike becomes authorized one IT happens that
E. E. Clark a member of the Anthracite Strike
Commission, which is engaged in arranging the de-
tails of settlement OF the coal strike, is Grand Chet
of the Order Of Railway Conductors, one Of these
brotherhoods.
Mr.. Shepard, in reply to question, said that 1t
would look inconsistent If Mr. Clark, while engaged
in settling one strike would sanction another. He
had nothing to say to the general situation
"Au that Is to be told will be told at New
Haven" he said. Z have of1cial knowledge Of
any trouble, and not preparing for any.
Regarding the trainmen who were thought most
likely go out, he said:
The Brotherhood Of Railway Tratnnen takes in
the brakemen, yardmen, swttchmen ana others
The brakeman is not important a feature as he
once was Nowadays the engineer attends TO q
good deal Of the work and looks after the air
brakes, which he move at a touch.
Grand Chief Clark of the Order OF Railway Con-
ductors is looked on conservative. Like Grand
Chief Arthur Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers his levelheaded methods have prevented
threatened strikes before now.

wRIGHT's EXALTED FRIENDS. 81
His Statement, il True, Nay Make His Pros
ecution Delicate Matter.

London, March 16.-John Flower, chairman
Of the shareholders committee which instigated
the prosecution Of ]. Whitaker Wright the di-
rector OF the London and Globe Finance Cor
poration. who was arrested yesterday On his
arrival at New-York from Cherbourg. says:
'T see Wright is quoted saying he had
powerful protector in an exalted quarter That
statement is not new to 1t Is the keynote
Of the whole case. Prior to the failure OF the
London and Globe, certain persons maintain,
Wright had In his possession letters from lead
ing members Of the English royal family snow
ing they were mixed up in his transactions. we
have no documentary proof OF this. wright
himself Is probably the only man In the world
who could prove it. II he has such letters they
ought now to be In the possession OF the New
York police, as we suppose they searched his ef-
fects and Wright is not likely to let such q
powerful weapon Of defence out Of his personal
keeping. Within a few weeks the cnlef issue
in the Wright case will be the question OF the
completely or otherwise OF the most exa!teo
personages in the empire In Wrights financial
and other schemes. We do not anticipate any
difficulty in obtaining his extradition, but II
what wright's friends maintain turns out TO
be true. his genuine prosecution Will become Al
extremely delicate matter. We believe however
that the lawyers at present engaged will slit
the matter to the bottom. regardless OF any con-
siderations.
"T quite sympathize with Wright when he says
the failure Of the London and Globe was due
to the treRchery Of others. There Is no DOUBT
of that. But it must be remembered that Tor
three months prior to the failure. which wright
says was directly due to treachery, the London
and C1Iohe had not a cent in its locker, yet
it was doing over 100000 in speculation at
every settlement. The governments oeci-
sion that the directors a body could not
be proceeded against does not prevent Wright
as the prime factor in the rotten conditions
which existed before the failure being MADE 10
take the responsibility.
Attorney General Ffnlay. IN the House OF
Commons. this afternoon, said the crown Woulo
nav the cost of the extradition Of Wright and
the payment by the crown Of the whole expenses
of the proceedings would be considered But
his prosecution would be left in the hands OF the
official receiver of the London and Globe cor
poration.

BR1TAIN's VAST NAVY SCHEME.

Peace or War.

10000 providing for an expenditure OF S1'9'-

the course OF an explanatory statement -the
secretsrv remarked that the estimates were un-
paraIlelel in peace or war, and as private cltl-
zen he could not help regretting that the great
competition and rivalry in the matter OF naVal
arnaments continued to make this enormous
and unproductive expenditure necessary. AFTER
mentioning the various increases areaoS
cabled the Secretary said the Admiralty pro-
posed to complete this year six new battlesh1ps'
eleven armored cruisers and one second class
cruiser two sloops of war, four torpedo Doat
destroyers eight torpedo boats and three Sud-
marine boats He also asked the House 10
sanction the beginning of three battlesnlps Oh
a very formidable type, four first class ana tnree
third class cruisers, four fast vessels 10 De
used as scouts fifteen torpedo boat destroyers
and ten submarine boats.
The increase in the gun power OF the shlps'
said the Secretary, was steadily In progress
while Standardization was augmenting the e1l-
cheney of all the work.
The Secretary Of the Admiralty incidentally
mentioned that twenty-one obsolete vessels hao
been withdrawn during the year l9O--0o' tne
largest number on record, and said that on
April l. 1903, there would be under construc-
tion the enormous total Of seventy-one snlps.
