Echoes of the Strike on the New York Central Road. New York, August 12, The strikers have been in secret session at Ledwith Hall at 45th street and-3d avenue all morning receiving reports from various pick- ets on duty. One of the officials said toa re- porter: “Weare just as strong as we were on Yriday night. The railroad officials have been giving out false a to the newspapers in order to discou: 10 strikers.” The strikers still maintain that they have an- other card to play, but are reticont as to just what that card is. Itis said that the press committee of the strikers is proparing a report for publication, which will show the position of the local assemblies and the connection of the general board with the strike. : The post office authorities said today that al the incoming mails were arriving nearly on time, the dolay being very trifling. All the out. oing mails are dispatched on time, MOVING THE FREIORT. The first train that went out of the 65th street yard today left for Troy at 9:30a.m. It cunsisted of ten cars loaded with miscellaneous freight, principally fruit. Conductor Hood was in charge. Inspector Steers and Capts, Allaire and Berghold are in. the yards with one hundred policemen. Here police are stetioned along the road at intervals as far as 110th street, There has been no disturbance whatever, and the work of making up other freight trains, which are to leave later in the day, is proceeding with the customary quiet- ness. ‘lrain Dispatcher Loftus and Yardmaster Mitchell have, now a sufficient force of men to run out all the cars im the yard in a short time, but there is not sufficient accommodation for all the cars yet at their destinations up the road. A freight train will start from Albany or New York today and is expected at the 35th street yard late this after- noon, Train 683 which left here yesterday morning arrived in Albany on schedule time, and made eighteen miles an hour, which is looked apon as a good record for a freight train. The engine which took this train up to Albany will bring another freight tram. A large force of men is at work in the 30th street vard and several trains will be run between there and the 65th street yard. MASTER WORKMAN LEE IN A FTX. The publication of the letter of E. J. Lee master workman of the Knights of Labor, to Mr. Voorhees, general superintendent of the New York Central road, in which he acknowl- edges having signed an amended agreement between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the New York Central regarding “lay outs,” without the knowledge of the knights, and asking Mr. Voorhees to prevent any individual or court or any organization from seving the document with his signature attached has already had its effect. Though Mr, Lee was looked for this morning he could not be found and no one seemed to know what had become of him. Chairman Valentine of the local executive board announced this morning that there would be held at 2 o'clock an open meeting of the Knights at Wendall Assembly Room: When questioned as to its object Mr. Valen- tine said that it was merely to hold the men together. Mr. Valentine expressed the utmost surprise when told of the treachery of Lee. MAILS ON TIME. General Superintendent Morgan of the city delivery department, General Post Office, said today that all the incoming mails were arriv- ing nearly on time, the delay being trifling. All the outgoing mails are being dispatched on time. Master Workman Valentine denies emphat- ically that the knights have given in or con- sider themselves defeated because of the re- fusal of the locomotive engineers and firemen to respond to the call to abandon their work in sympathy with the strikers.

TRACKS IN THE TRIN- IDAD SUBDIVISION ARE LAWFUL—pIrFeneNce, IN THE LAWS RELATING To THE B. & 0, ROAD AND ‘THE B. & P.—DECISIONS THAT DO NOT APPLY. In response to the resolution of the Senate of August 1 directing the Commissioners of the District of Colambia to inform the Senate whether the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany is proposing to occupy certain parts of P, Q and B streets, in the Trinidad subdivision in the District, and if so under what authority | of law it is vo doing, the Commissioners have | replfed that the permit to said cumpany to lay tracks across said highways was issued by them as advised by their attornoy. a copy of whose opinion was transmitted. The opinion of the attorney says: “It appears that the railroad company desir- ing to remove its round house aud machino shops from its yard, corner of New Jersey avenue and C street. in this city, and transfer a large amount of its treight traffic from the streets in the vicinity of its depot, with a view to relievé the people in that neighborhood as much as possible from the discomfort and inconvenience arising from the operation of its road, which had long been the subject of complaint. pur- chased und in Trinidad, adjacent to the tracks of ite main stem and Boundary street, where the road enters the city, on which to build a round house, machine shops and sid- ings and freight yards. Considering the sur- roundings of Trinidad one would think « place could nothave beon selected by the company where the operations of its road would be of less inconvenience to the public. “The company, befcre any question arose as to ite right to lay tracks on the streets of Trinidad, had gone so far as to demolish cer- tain of its buildings and shops in its yard at the station on Now Jersey avenuo, and the erection of others on its purchase in Trinidad. Those in charge ot its work seem to have proceeded on the idea that since what they were doing was on the company's proj erty outside the limits of the city, it was com- ee for them to lay tracks without a permit from the Commissioners for that purpose first had, and they proceeded with the work antil they were stopped by the Commissioners, by police intervention.” THE LAW OF THE CASE. The attorney then quotes the act of Congress of March 2, 1881, authorizing the entrance of the Baltimore and Ohio road into the city, and the supplemental act of February 11, 1335, ove section of which latter act says: “That it sha!l be lawful for the said company, and they ure hereby empowered to obtain by gift or purchase, any lot or lots adjacent to any street or avenue along which the said company shall construct their road or branches, aud to hold and improve in such menner as may be necessary fur the purposes of the d com- Rary, or for the beneficial use of said road, or he branches thereof; and the said company shall be authorized to extend and con- struct tracks of railway into any lot or lots so held by them, in connection with the tracks in any adjacent street of avenue, provided that the free use of any street or avenue shall not be impaired thereb: And provided also that tho said company sha not use or employ any stenm engine in draw- ing or propelling the cars, vehicles on partof the said road within the city of Washington, except in such parts as may be agreed to by the corporate authorities of said city. “By virtue of this legislation,” the attorney continues, ‘it is contended the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has the same rights, priviloges, &c., as to the location, construction and running of its road as are given by its act of incorporation, pxssed by the Maryland logislature February 18, 1827, and by referenco to said act’ of | incorpora- tion it will be seen that within the state of Maryland said company has the right to cross or intersect or pass over any road or way pro- vided it does not impede thereby the passage or transpo-tation of persons or property aloug the same, and that it bas the right also to ac- quire property along its road, and to build switches from its roud to said property, aud to use the said property for depot, freight and all other purposes necessary and convenient to the proper conduct of its road. It further ap- pears that the same rights are enjoyed by said road in the city of Baltimore and the other cities through which it may pass in said state, THE & AND 0. AND THE B. AND P. “On the other hand it is contended that the provisions found in the act of Congress relative to the Baltimore and Ohio Raiiroad Company are the same substantially as those contained in the acts relative to the Baltimore aud Poto- mac Railroad Company. The right of the lat- ter company to lay tracks across 14th street in this city in the absence of an act of Congress permitting such use of the street was before the Supreme Court in the case of the District of Columbia vs. Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company (114 U. 8., 453). In that case, which iv relied on by counsel representing the owners of property in Trinidad as nuthority for the position that the Baltimore and Ohio Com- pany are not entitled to occupy streets of that subdivision, the Baltimore and Potomac Com- any had purchased square 233 with a view to Buuding an additfonal freight depot thereon in order to accommodate their increasing traffic. In order to reach that square with its tracks it was necessary to depart from Maryland avenue and cross «quare 267 and i4th street. Having given the District of Columbia notice that it proposed to construct a lateral track, so as to connect its road with square 238, the company, by its servant, proceeded to do the work, which the Commissioners prevented by police interference. Thereupo: the railroad com- pany filed its bill in the Supreme Court of the istrict of Columbia tor an injunction to pre- vent the Commissioners from interfering with them in the exercise of the right they claimed to build a lateral track across 14th street into square 233. The court granted the injunction as prayed, from which the District appealed to the Supreme Court, where it was held that in the absence of an authorization by act of Congress ‘or the consent of any authority representing the city of Washington or the District of Columbia’ the railroad company had no right to lay its tracks in or across the streets of the city of Washington. At page 460 the court observes, ‘The title to the streets of the city of Washington is in the United States and not in the city or in the owners of the adjacent jots, Ne It is, therefore, eminently proper that the right to use them for any other than the ordinary use of streets should proceed from Congress.’ NOT A SIMILAR Case. “But is the case of the District agt. the Balti- more and Potomac Railroad Company in point and should it be followed as an authority in this case? Ithink not. That case mvolved. as we have seen, the right righ! of the Baitimore aud Potomac Company to build a lateral track across one of the streets of this city without an act of Congress specifically permitting it to do 0. . The Baltimore and Potomac Company had no right to depart from the route specifically end minutely laid down for them to pursue in the act of Congress of 1870. They did not pos- sess the right, ax I thiuk the Baltimore and Ohio Company dves, to construct lateral into lot owned by them, Their application in this case is not for permission to lay tracks in the streets of this city, but in the streets or roadways of a subdi- vi which lies outside the city limits and is no part of the city. The Baltimore and Obio Company, by the act of 1835, has the right to enter upon, croas and occupy with its tracks the streots of Washington and the roadways of the District ae tree! iepreeey of the pre: out it, language of the act of Congre: admitting the Baltimore and Potomac Com- 1y to come into the city is not so broad and as the act of 1885 permitting the Balti- more and Ohio Company to come in, and then the decision of the Supreme Court refers only to the Baltimore and Potomac Company and ite right to occupy the streets of Washington city. The streets of Trinidad must be consid- ered as ‘roadways’ of the District; they are certainly not streets of this city, although they may have been laid out #0 as to conform to the ec of the city streets by which is meant, if it the case, that some day in the future when it becomes necessary to extend the limits of this city so as to take io Trinidad and other subdivisions,there may be no incor ience and confusion the streets of that or any other subdivision do not correspond to the atreeta of the city. If the streets of Trinidad are only ‘roadways’ or streets of the District of Co- Iumbia, and not streets of this city, then it would seem clear that the Baltimore and Ohio “AUGUST 12; 1890. ‘¥." In doing this the board exercised municipal powers. The validity of this struc- ture calied the ‘Y' was the Circuit Courtof this District recently in the case of Glick against the Baltimore and Woods against The first case was ap action for to the plaintiff's pr rty, growing out of the operation of the company by the leged to be an tracks called the ‘Y,’ it being unlawful structure. Woods’ case was for re- covery of damages for personal injuries result- ing from an accident on the in 1885. In Glick’s case Chief Justice Bingham at the first trial and Mr. Justice Montgomery at the second ‘rial instructed the jury that the ‘Y" was a lawful structure... In the Woods’ case Mr. Jus- tice Montgomery gave a similar instruction, | Of course these rulingsare not the decisions of the General Term, but they are the decisions of ies of the justices who may mt in the Gen- ‘erm. If then the board of public works had the power to authorize the Bal- timore and Ohio Company to lay tracks on I street within the limits of the city, then it is clear, I think, that the Baltimore and Oho Company having purchased ground in Trinidad outside the city limits has the right to pass by, switch over and upon the roadways or streets of Trinidad in order to reach and enjov their property as proposed, provided they first cet the approval of the Commissioners as the cor- sem authority of this District as provided in act of 1835, WILL TRE RULES BE CHANGED? Indications That Republican Senators Have Agreed on No Pian. It is not believed that the Senate ie yet in a position to attempt a change of the rules to limit debate on the tariff bill, The introduc- tion by Mr, Edmunds of a resolution for a five- minute rule, while it indicates that the Ver- | Mout Senator thinks the time has come to take some action to hasten the progress with the tariff bill shows at the same time two distinct propositions, his and Mr. Hoar's, coming from the republican side, that the majority nave notazreed upon amy definite plan for dealing with the question. It looks as if the anxiety at | the present time were more for the fate | of the tariff bil and the move | to secure it rather than aimed at the pai | of the federal eiection bill As long present opposition among republicans to any limit of debate is maintained the majority party will be powerless to hasten action, but the introduction of reso- lutions and the constant agitation of the matter ix calculated to frighten the demo- crats and perhaps, in time, to wear out the re- pubhcan independents. It may lead to an un- derstanding between certain men in each party that an adjournment wil be had as soon aa the tariff is disposed of. A difficulty in the way of any change of rules at this time, aside from the opposition of the independent republicans, 12 that an interrup- tion of the tariff discussion for that purpose we 1 still furthor delay action on the tariff. e time that would be taken up in a fight over a change of ruies might be better spent in the discussion of the tariff, and the constant menace of @ possible change may cause @ quickening of action by the democrats, In course of time it may be that a change of rules A CRANK AT THE WHITE HOUSE. A Colored Man Who Wants to Save His Race From Freezing This Winter, Among the few callers at the White House Yesterday was a respectably dressed colored man, about thirty-five years old, who gave his name as Jobn W.

Just one year ago he called and wanted to seo the President, but bemg « suspicions ap- pearing individual he was told that the President was not at home, Since thea Lee has been in Colorado, so he saya, where he is going to build a narrow guage road.

The white caps, a lawless body of men, whe have been destroving property in New Mexico and attempting to regulate the affairs of the community, havo finally attacked the railroads. The Secretary of the interior to: received a dispatch from Gov. Prince in which he states: “Ratlroad officials ask protection for mail trains. Section men and other employes have been warned to quit work and some have done eo. There are no acts of violeuge.but the effect is tocripple the railroadservice by frightening employes to stop work. The only practicable au is to have some troops camp or march between Las Vogas ond Lamy. The moral effect of their presence would prevent trout without farther action. I earnestly recommend that the War Department be requested to do this immediately, It would also probably stop the whole white cap business, as they have a wholesome respect for United States soldiera,” No action has been taken by the Interior De- partment.

An Opinion Rendered as to House Fronts on the Tenleytown Road, The Commissioners, as stated in Tne Star, receritly made gu order relative to subdivisions on the Tenleytown road providing that in the fature no subdivision would be recorded un- lees ample provision was made for widening the road to 120 feet. The building inspector raisod an important question in this connection in the case of a man who apphed for a permit to build a house on this road. The permit was issucd, but a conditional clause was incor- porated in which the owner agreed to move his house back if the road should ever be widened. Col. Robert felt uneasy as to the law on the question, und with the approval of the other Commissioners submitted the papers to the at- torney for the District for his opinion as to the power of the courts to require parties building on their lots on Tenleytown road to place the building line back from the road as heretofore established. : Assistant Attorney Thomas rendered an opinion on the subject today. He says, in sub- stance, that a man on thut thoroughfare has a right to build of the survey lines of his lot, ided the plans of his house conform to the uilding regniations. ‘To require him to locate his building back of the front line of his lot would, to the extent h was required to recede froma that line, be « taking of his property. which would require Compensation While, be continues, it would be wise for those intending to build on that road to erect their houses with a view to the widen- ing of the road. yet the Commissioners cannot compel them to do so. He says, in conclusion, he thinks it is perfectly competent for the Commissioners to refuse to approve a sub- division fronting on that road which does not give it a width of 120 tees. THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL, Proposed Senate Amendment to the House Bill—The Power of Congress. ‘The House anti-lottery bill was favorably reported tothe Senate today by Mr. Sawyer from the post office committee, with an amend- ment providing that newspapers published in foreign countries shall not be exciuded from the mails under the prov isions of this bill, un- less in the opinion of the Postmaster General they are being circulated for the purpose of advertising lottery schemes in violation of law. Accompanying the bill is a letter dated July 21 from Attorney General Miller, giving an opinion upon two other anti-lottery bills be- fore the committee. Legislation of this char- acter (that is designed to exclude newspapers containing lottery advertisements from the mails).says the Attorney General, has been up- held by the courts, and it seems to be settled that it is competent for Congress to authorize the Postmaster General to refuse the use of the toany persons engazed in the lottery business. The Attorney General thinks there can be no question of the power of Congress to make the mailing of lottery letters, circulars, &c., a continuous offense to and incinding the place of delivery, or at le: question that it make the offense punii a which the post fice of destination is ited «8 that in which the unlawful matter is d.

In that case Plaliser had mailed from New York to a Connecticut postmaster a request to the postmaster to receive and distribute litera- ture for his firm, giving credit for the postage, which he (Palliser) promised to pay when the literature was distributed. The question arose whether this was a crime punishable in the district of Connecticut, the mail; having been done in New York, The Supreme Court held that from the decision is that he might be tried and unished either in Ne: r ut the decision is direct that he might be — nw punished in mime Vhether it is competent for Congress to make the offense triable and unishable in an intermediate district, adds Attorney Gen- eral, is perhaps not so clear, Bulliss Wanted in Salt Lake City.
