Il" Union Oficin Seeks Subzcay
job, 1t Is Declared.

Judging from the developments of yesterday
there is practically hope of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company granting the demands
of the elevated railroad motormen for So 80
day for the subway motormer and a nine hour
workday a conference will take place at II
to-day in August Belmont's office between
Grand Chief Stone and Assistant Chief Hurley
of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
and Mr.. Belmont, at which an appeal will be
made to him to grant the demands If this ap-
peal fails there is nothing left for the motormen
but to accept the conditions or strike.
A committee Of twenty members of Local No
105, representing the elevated railroad motor
men, headed by ". L. Jencks chief of Local No.
1O5, and H. p. Pinney. of the firemen, had
conference with L. Z. Bryan, general manager
Of the InterborOugh Rapid Transit COMPANY
Yesterday in the Western Union Building. The
conference resulted in Mr.. Bryan informing the
committee that the demands will not be grant
ed, and, at the request OF the committee, to-
days conference with Mr.. Belmont was ar
ranged
Mr. Bryan said the policy OF the company was
unchanged. He added

committee again that the company would not

Mr.. Bryan was quoted saying that mem
bers of the New-York division Of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Street and Railway En-
ployes had applied for positions as subway mo-
tormen at So a day, among them high officer
in the division.
This would indicate that II the motormen went
on strike they would not only receive no sup
port from the Amalgamated Association men,
but also that the latter who receive less than
S3 day, would be willing TO take their places
When the Amalgamated Association men once
threa tened to strike, the motormen decided that
they would take no action, they were in a

Grand Chief Stone later said that a telegram
had been sent to John Hanrahan. grand chief

OF Mr. Stone to withhold his sanction II the

BONILLA PICKING FIGHT.
Sending Troops to the Nicaragua
Frontier.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Mobile Aug. 30.-News was received here to-
day by steamer that President Bonilla of Hon
duras dispatching troops to the Nicaragua
frontier. and 1T is believed that he will
demand a definite settlement of the boundary
line with Nicaragua, and on the expected re-
fusal will make an attack The trouble is
largely due to a concession granted to the
American company composed OF Pittsburg capi-
talists by the President of Nicaragua.
Bonila is seeking revenge on President Zeaya
for the aid he gave the Honduras rebels in the
last revolution. The territory granted to the
Americans is in the vicinity of Cape Gracias,
and is said by Bonilla to be Honduras soil.
It is certain that there will be bloodshed before
the Nicaraguans give it up. The strip of land
is 800 miles long and a railroad is being built
it to work the mineral district. small
fortune has been spent on the place by the
Americans

BIG POLITICAL FACTOR.
"L Men VIII Talk to Belmont of
10000 VOtes.
TAMMANY'S HAND IS SEEN.

The trouble between the engineer-motormen
and firemen on the elevated railroad and the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company over the
thirty-ftve hundred subway places open Octo-
Der l became issue of the Democratic cam
paign yesterday, when the demands of the men
fatty refused by the general manager, F.
p. Bryan August Belmont, president of the
company, is a member of the Democratic Ma
tonal Executive Committee and the fnancjer
OF Parker's campaign. The elevated employees
have arranged meeting with Mr.. Belmont for
this morning, and if compromise is not effected
then, they say, strike on the elevated may be
looked for.
The elevated road employees have known from
the beginning Of this political weapon. but they
have held # back TO use last resort 1t was
said last night that they would show Mr. Bel
mont that more than hundred thousand
voters in the national brotherhoods of Iocomo-
tive firemen and locomotive engineers were back
of the elevated road motormen in this struggle
He will be told further that they have the sup
port OF thousands of members of the Anal
gamated Association of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. They believe that the combined
force is one that the Democrats cannot afford TO
overlook.
Astute politicians see the hand of Tammany
Hall in the determined position which the eIe-
waited employees have taken in this struggle
Thomas r. Ryan, the personal friend OF Charles
F. Murphy. who opposed the nomination of
Parger is said TO have been moved to do so
chiefly because August Belmont favored the
Esopus jurist. The elevated road men have been
much alarmed over the subway jobs from the
beginning and would have been troublesome
even If the time had not been auspicious
with the support of powerful political organ
ization like Tammany, they can see nothing but
winning fight.
Thus 1t happens that the labor element, to
which the Democracy looked for stanoh sup
port is bringing confusion to the national COM
uittee as 1t did few days ago to tho State
