had finally rejected the demands. Mr.
Stuart would not comment on what po-
sition the railroads would take as to the
tender of mediation, but he Immediately
ordered a meeting of the committee for
tomorrow TO consider the matter.
Thus the contention rested, tonight, be-
ing still regarded by many observers as
critical but by others as promising some
sort of adjustment. Commissioner Neill
was pleased with the reception of the
offer of mediation, but he did not out
line in just what way he expected to
carry 1t out if both parties were consil-
iatory. His colleague, Justice Knapp, left
for Washington. this evening, with the
here, tomorrow. to take up the replies
of the parties in controversy.
Chief Stone, early tonight, accused the
railroad managers of bad faith. He said
that during the As hours armistice the
places of strikers.
I'VE were courteous, while they were
what would call arrogant in their atti-
tude,'' he said.
1t is said by Mr.. Stone that 1900 men
would be affected by strike order OF
these $500 are members of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and
about 500 are in the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Enginemen. who. the engineers
declare will join strike.
The rest are non-union men who, Chief
Stone said, have joined in the strike vote
passed by the Brotherhood.
The 80 railroads affected have a mile
age of about 5000 miles, doing So per
cent. of the railway traffic of the United
States.
The offer of mediation was contained
in the following letter from Judge Knapp
and Commissioner NELL:
New York. April %, 1872
Dear Sir: We understand that nego-
tiations between the Brotherhood of Lo.
connective Engineers and the managers
committee of the Eastern railroads have
been definitely broken off and that the
engineers are likely to withdraw forth
with from the service.
IF this is unfortunately the fact, it
is evident that a grave situation has
arisen which threatens most serious con-
sequences to the public. In this emer-
gency we are impelled by the sense Of
duty to tender our friendly offices to the
contending parties in the hope that some
means may be found to adjust the mat
tiers in dispute without the calamity Of
a general strike.
Very sincerely yours.

Nice. France, April 22-It is possible
that the mystery of the identity of the
two children answering to the names
of Louis and Lolo, who were saved

up. Madame Navartil, the wife of a

recognizes her two boys in the de-

separated from her husband, who. a

children and disappeared, after tell
ing friends that he was going to
America. The children were travelling
with a man named Hoffman, who is
said to have been a friend of Navar-
tits. A request has been sent to New
York for photographs of the children.
The two French waits are now in the
care of Miss Margaret Hays of West
saith street, who has become their self
appointed guardian. The children were
found wrapped in blankets in one Of

by railroad engineers in all the terri

Quoted.

mediately the refusal of the manage
ment of the so railroads concerned to
concede the engineers demand for an
increase in wages of Is per cent, and
the announcement by Chief Warren
S. Stone of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers that in consequence
of the refusal an engineers strike
would go into effect before another

Although Chief Stone had few min
utes before said that his 40 associates on

pressed with the letter of Messrs. Knapp

would remain intact here, tonight. to
consider the situation. He said: mo or
ganization Is so strong that it can fail
to harken TO an appeal from representa-

added that he would place the proposal
before the engineers committee with the
recommendation that 1t be accepted.
Herewith he Immediately called the
