Ter MorrisSey, Of the Brotherhood of
Irainmen. referring TO the ballot now
being taken by The members Of the
organization on the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg in connection with
the proposition to strike. said today:
There is no question Of recognition
OF the Brotherhood involved There
are no issues between the employees
and the company which could not be
readily adjusted if the officials would
meet the commission representing the
men on the same basis and an the same
spirit that prevails on railroads gen
orally. including The lines Of the Penn
sylvania company east of Pittsburg
and Erie.
The questions involved are simply
the adoption of working rules similar
10 those I'm force on other trunk lines

increase OF wages have also been pre-
scented, which, of course, are doubtful.
But the men have had no fair opDor-
1unity to discuss these with the Penn

JUDGE PARkER'S
NEW YORK VISIT
Democratic Candidate COnters
With the Leaders.
GERMAN TAKING ACTIVE PART
WILL REMAIN IN NEW YORK
UNTIL ELECTION.

Al EW YORK, Sept. 16.-Several inn
IN portant questions were settled by
the visit of Alton 3. Parker to
New York and his conferences with
Democratic leaders. 1t was determined
that Senator German should have an
active place in the campaign, but that
Chairman Taggart was not to be super
seeded. The conference of Tammany
leaders with Judge Parker resulted in
the settlement of differences in Great
er New York so far as they relate to
national and state issues.
The governorship and other state Of
fees were discussed, but il was said
that nothing definite as to the selection
of candidates would be determined UNI
til next week at Saratoga.
Another matter left open is whether
Parker will make a series of speeches
during the campaign. Other confer
ences similar to those held yesterday
and today viii probably be held next
week before Parker's letter of accept
ance is made public.

Denver, Colo. Sept. 16.-Brigadier
General Frank d. Baldwin, command

forwarded his annual report to the Sec

the year closing Aug. 10 were 1888. The
