ENGINEER CHIEF
 MAKES STATEMENT
Stone Says Railroad Mana ger Refused to Accept
 MediatorS Plan.

Chicago, July 31.-in a signed statement today President stone and Carter asserted that after the mana gers comirtee had invoked the ser vices of the Federal board of media tion and cancellation, the managers committee had refused to accept the plan of settlement proposed by the Federal mediators, and thus the burden of responsibility of the strike must rest upon the railroads"
 The three principal causes of the proposed strike, according to the statement of Messrs. Stone and Car ter, are:
 ,"The manner in which railroads have repudiated arbitration agree ments. The manner in which the managers committee has excited the anger of the enginemen in the serv- ice by their arbitrary attitude. Be- cause the railroads seemed determin- ed to force the employees to aban- don the mileage basis of pay with out being willing to adopt the sourly basis of pay; the managers attempt- ing to force upon the employees an entirely new basis of pay which they are pleased to term the Service pe- riod.'"

 of England Raises Rate.

New Ycrk. July 31.-The New York Stock exchange was closed today on account of the European situation. The Consolidated Stock exchange and tine New York curb market also ceased business.
 announcements of the closing Of exchange in the other chief cities throughout the country followed ac- ton here. This official announce ment was made by the secretary of the stock exchange.
 The governing committee decid- ed that the exchange be closed until further notice, and that all deliveries be suspended until further notice."
 With the suspension of business here transactions in securities the world over came virtually to halt. New York for the last few days, had been the only great market in the world to carry on business as usual. The decision to close came suddenly and unexpectedly.
 It was reached at a meeting ' Of bankers at the office of J. P. Mor- gan & Co. The meeting was attend ed by Mir. Morgan and H. P. Davld- son, his partner; Frank A. Wander lip, president of the National City bank: A. B. Hepburn, chairman of the Chase National Bank, and Fran cis l.. Hine, president of the First National band. After consulting governors of the stock exchange, it was decided that the strain upon credits might reach a dangerous de- gree if the exchange were open.
 No definite period for the closing of the exchange has been set. Stock exchange houses have nOti- fled their officers not to make de- liveries for received stock until further notice.
 First Time Since 1873.
 William c. Van Antwerp a gover- nor of the exchange said that it was the first time since 1873 that pusl- day. At that time large stock ex- change houe failed and there were threats of dangerous European com plications.
 The only other occasion in the his tory fthe stock exchange when sim liar action has been taken was in 1869, on the famous black Friday.
 The movement of gold to Europe, which has, reached unprecedented proportions during the last few days, was continued. Two engagements were made, amounting to $2,500,000.

The total on this movement of gold in five days aggregated $45,435.00O. The amount of the outflow of the metal since Janu- ary is $123.S35, ,000.

 her forces into the fray On the side of her companion in the Triple En- rent. The feeling of the British cabl- net is against England taking any part in the conflict for the present, at least Premier Asquith especially is opposed to such d course and has be- hind him large force of the Liber- als.
 The Manchester Guardian, the greatest Liberal organ in Great Britain, urges that under no circum- stances Great Britain take any part in the conflict. This whole question
 was thrown out today at a long meet ing of the cabinet. No definite de cision was reached, but # is possible that tine event of hostilities, she will stay her hand and wait to see which way the cat jumps.
