STRIKE MAY EXTEND. Important Meeting Today of Fed- erated Railway Employes. VAIN HUNT AFTER ROBBERS. Buffalo Freight Yards Blockaded With Trains. >. NEWS BY WIRE FROM HERE AND THERE. Sa THER BUFFALO COMPLICATION, The Cause of That Strike May Lead to Serious Results, . Burravo, N,Y,, August 18—The New York Central and its connections are running their passenger trains through this morning on a Zait approximation to schedule time—a fact which, it is argued. is due largely to the moderation of the men who are out on strike. But while the passenger traffie remains practically uuinterrupted, the freight situation at this point has grown much more serious. Every siding has its complement of freight cars, mainly loaded with perishable” freight, and’ even the Lake Shore side tracks to a distance of twenty miles out are packed with standing abandoned trains. Between Last Buffalo and Idlewood a very long “dressed beet” train lies motjonless,its contents, to saythe least, not improved by the delay. ‘There is no strike as yet on the Lake Shore road, but the switching of freight for that road is ali done in the Central yards, and they are not only already giutted with freight, but have no switchmen. So the management has been obliged to find other places to store its accumulations and has utilized every available siding. Ap attempt will be made to meve some of the ircight at East Buffalo today. “We have got men enough, though they are green,” said une of the yard men this morning, “and will put them to work if the strikers will let them do anytinng. We have got to move the stuff in the East Buffalo yards; they are full now and whatever else comes has got to lie outside til we can mske room for it in the yards.” RUMORS ALOU? LEIGH VALLEY MEN. A rumor was current this morning that the Lehigh Valley men had gone out, but this en- tirely lacks confirmation, It wag learned that the rumor arose from the threat of the switch- men to go out if the road moved Central freight. On Saturday night a Central stock trais was rua in on the Lehigh tracke and the switchmen decjared they would strike if it was mot sent back where it belonged. The rosd acceded to this request aud vent the Central tr ack. Grand Master Sweeney of the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Asso- ciation was seen this morning. He was ag conservative a8 ever. but was evidently smart- ing under the insolent treatment he had re- ceived yesterday at the hands of Supt. Bur- coun ie Sweeney said: “The strike is a ques- tion of endurance between the men and the eompany and I do not think the men will be the first to give ju, as they are in the right in this matter, The Knights of Labor strike was a separate affair; the strike of our order the railroad guthorities precipitated upon them- seives by ordering our members to take the places of the strikers, which they de- clined to do, If they had consented and taken the places of the brother switchmen out on strike, I should have expelled them from our order as soon ag their gctions had been made known to me. It is one of the iron-clad rules of our order that our men shall not take the places of strikers, The men knew this and declined to obey orders, whereupon they were discharged. The road declined to re- instate them, and afterward yielding to a universal feeling of indignation the members of our association all struck work. They were badly treated and are in the right. lvaw Mr. Burrows yesterday and he declined to have anything to say to me as a representa- tive of the men. He was arrogant ond ugly and is the kind of o man to held — suel i ition, He is an overbearing, g and the very lhwt sort of an individual to be able to baadle mea decently. Mr. Burrows’ treatment of his men is direotly responsible for the pres- ent troybie. There may be further trouble for the Central railroad in the way of labor difficulties unless matters are soon adjusted,” THE BROTHERHOOD MAY NOW ACT. Mr. Sweeney was shown the dispatch from Terre Haute, Ind., stating that Grand Master Sargent of the Firemen’s Brotherhood and Grand Chief Howard of the Conductors’ Brotherhood had ieft for Buffalo to consider the strike, and was asked if the Federation of Railway aucere would convene here. Mr. Sweeney said he did not know. He wired Chairman Sargent of the federation on Satur- day and the latter will be here this afternoon, “Will that order take action?” was asked. “It may do so,” was the guarded reply. Mr. Sweeney witl remain here and watch the situation and await developments. He said in conclusion: ‘There's one thing that I won't do. That is make any efforts to have any further talk with this man Burrows. There will be no more committees seyt to wait upon bim or have auy parley with him. Our aim is to ac- a our results | agree and that is the way we will work, Dlr. Burrows’ actions will pot help the road in the estimation ef the people.” ‘ ‘ we. Sweeney's remarks are significant in con- neetion with the fact that the exeoutive council of the Railway Federation will be here this afternoop. It i a settled fact that the switen- meu will be supported in their movement, and that unless they are promptly reinstated there is no telijug what the result may be. It is just possible that the switchmen from New York to Chicago on ati the Vanderbijt lines will be or- dered out and if this docs not suffice to bring the road to terms the other branches of the federation are pledged to gooutif necessary to aid the switchmen. District Master Work- mau Lee offalbany has been here since Setar- day and will meet the federation conncil this afternoon. Mr. Lee, representing the Knights of Labor in this city, sent the following mysterious cypher dispatch 10 the New England Pro- teetive Bailway Union at Boston today: ‘What. woever, whatever. Ormore. Be in readiness. Mt w understood that this w a prelude toa generul strike and it may come at any hour, 4 general meeting of the ewi will be held at ther rooms on Seneca strect near Michigan today, whem it is expected that a definite plan of setion will be outlined. ——— LEAD, MINDLY LIGHT.

As [say I have convened this meeting at his request and await his coming. Our order represents P tty fairly the work- ing force of the railroads of the country.” lust then Mr. Powderly, accompanied by number of other gentlemen, appeared and en- tered the committee room from which the re- porter had cailed Mr. Sargeant and the door closed, ‘The outcome of the conference is regarded as of the greatest importance. GOING TO NEW YORK QUICK. After a conference of about two hours Mr. Sargent came down atairs and was asked what bad been done. “We hav. ded to go to New York“on the first train,” he said, ‘because that is the head- uarters of the trouble. We have about got through our deliberations here, having for the most part simply canvassed the situation.” “Do you go to New York to confer with Mr Webb?” “Lhave nothing to do with Mr. Webb,” be replied. ‘That is all the news I have to give you; you must draw your own conclusions.” “In the conference is there harmony be- tween Ms. Powderly and the Brotherhood men?” “Oh, yes,” replied Mr. Sargent, ‘perfect har- pity“ m™m . Mr. Sargent declined to answer a question as fo the probability of members of the brother- hoods ‘represented in the conference being called out. He then returned to the confer- ence, which ig still im session, HUNTING THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

The Queen’s Speech Alludes to an Ar- bitration of the Seal Question. Lowpox, August 18.—Parliament has been prorogued. The queen’s speech to the two houses was as follows: My Lords and Gentlomen—My relations with all foreign powers continue pacific. Friendly attention has been called to inconveniences which might arise from a possible conflict over territorial claims in the nowly occupied regions in Africa, and I have, therefore, entered into negotiations with the powers principally con- eerned for the purpose of defining the bound- aries within which the action of the respective governments shall be confined. An arrangement with Germany, which closes the most difficult of these questions has been completed and laid before you, and in order to give effect to it you have sanctioned a special statute for the ces- sion of Heligioland. An arrangement has also been entered into -with France separating the territory adjacent to the southern frontier of Algeria from the territory under the influence of the Niger Com- pany. An agreement delimiting territory in Africa is under discussion with Portugal. I have agreed with France that the British protectorate over Zanzibar and the French protectorate over Madagascar shall be mutually recognized. J have offered the President of the United States to submit to ar- bitration the difference over the Behr- ing sea fisheries. The conference on the slave trade, which was assembled at my suggestion by King Leopold, bas brought its deliberations to a clove and the final act has received the adhesion of all the powers repre- sented except Holland. I earnestly hope that the resolutions of the conference may lead to results worthy of the high and benevolent purposes that inspired them. Controversies have arisen between my subjects in Newfound- land and the French fishermen respecting the true interpretation of the rights of France by the treaty of Utrecht and subsequent engage- ments. ‘The adjustment of these is occupying the anxious ‘attention of my government.

A Sharp Reply From Mr. Hine to Re- THE DIVISION OF DUTIES DISCUSSED—THE EN- GISEER COMMISSIONER'S OFINION—MR. BINE ‘THINKS HIS COLLEAGUE MISTAKEN ABOUT SOME THINGS OB THE REPORTER MISUNDERSTOOD Uw Everything was aecaim and serene at the Dis trict building today as possible. Commissioner Hine was on hand early in the day, and went to work with a will di ing the business that had accumulated during his brief absence. He was shown by @ Stan reporter the interview printed im the Sundiy Gaselle yesterday pur- Porting to be with Col. Robert, and asked what he thought of it COL. ROBERT'S TALK. In that interview Gol. Robert is reported to have said: “In relation to poliee matters my attention was necessarily drawn to them when, at the instance of Commissioner Hine, I was ealled upon to act with him on the subject of licenses, a branch of business which, under the order of the three Commissioners. had been assigned to Commissioner Douglass. Out of some 702 appheations for licenses Mr. Douglass had rejected all but some 170. and it required the affirmative action of Commis- sioner Hine aud myscif to grant them. No ob- jection was then made to the interference of one Commissioner with the dutics of another. Quite the reverse. “Ip order tp act intejligently upen these eases it became necessary to examine some ten thousand questions snd answers, made mostly by police officers, and the became apparent. in order to act intell in granting or refusing a license re’ by the Commissioner having official of that breuch of business. to see some thy astothe character of the policemen making the imdorsement, the record, good of bad, of their precinets, and in some special instances to make a personal inspection of the places soucht to be licensed. So, you see, that the Very first nccessity for my police investigations arose from co-operation with Mr. Hine im the matter of heenses, whieh were under the presi- dent of the board. “My investigations led to many discoveries concerning the several police precinets, aud when I considered that - Commissioners all three of them—were clothed with the powers of the old board of metropolitan police, ¥ the organic act of 1878 creating the present | form of government, I did not consider myself oing outside of my duties in making myself acquainted with the ferce aud what it was do- iug, I wear the badge of the metropolitan po- lice, as do the yther Commissioners, and police matters are 80 interwoven with many of the functions of the Commissioners that they ean- net be ignored by either one of them. “Possibly the first cause of disagreement be- tween my colleague and myself was the case of the policeman tried for drunkenness and who wes fined a few dollars for the offense. Mr. Hine evwently did not eousider drunkenness on duty a yery serious offense, for he approved the finding of the trial board aud secured the signature of Mr. Douglass. When it was brouglit to me for signature I declined to ap- rove, after examining the ease ir. Doug! agreed with me and erased his signature of approval. J regard unkennoss on duty aga very serious offense in a policeman. Apart from morai cousidera- tions, amen who is clothed by law with the duty of keeping the peace, and who is armed for that purpose, should keep luis head cool and his body in condition for any emergency. When such a person becomes drunk he is adanger to the community. To fine a man a few dollars for such an offense ix the heigut of absurdity. He should be promptly dis- missed. In relation to the Guy case and others, the statewent that ex-Lieut. Arnold had anything todo with my invortigations is incorrect. He neither spoke to me coucernil the police at the outset, except to ask me to ex- amine his case, which I declined at the tine, nor was he sentfor by me until after I had al- ready obtained substantially the information for which Iwas looking. He only answered under compulsion the questions 1 asked him, and so when I sent for him the second and the third time. What his motives may have been is another matter. “I was in the neighborhood of 17th street and New York avenue one evening, near the locality raided by the police a few nights be- fore, and accosted a policeman, who upon my disclosing my identity became quite communi- cative, He told mo, among other things, that acertain house, about a mile distant from the beat, was to be raided on a certaiu evening. This set me to thinking. If the knowledge of projected raids was com- municated to subordinates so far in ad- vance of the time what an opportunity was afforded for warning the law breakers in time to escape. And when I investigaid the subject further it was found that this was fre- quently the case. One investigation led to a other, until I became acquainted with facts sonecrning the police which iu my judgment needed correction, It was as much niy duty to heip to apply the correction as that of any other of the Commissioners, and what 1 did was, as I understood it, with their approb: a. ~What have I done with the testimony gath- ered by me? I have had it burned. [ would have been willing to go on the stand and pro- duce it, so far as I was coucerued, and I thought of doing so, gut concluded finally to destroy it, Thave the stenographic notes, however, iu my possession, “Now, in relation to the point that the Engi- neer Commissioner gives no bond. I cannot anything in that, The commission of a lieutenant colonel of engineers is certainly worth more than $50,00' nothing of the matter of reputation and ase of dereliction of duty he eould and would be tried and inis commission might be vacated, That is not all, however,” continued Col. Rober! ug down a copy of an order of the board, died May, 1887. “Look at that. You Will see that no parehase can be made and no indebteduess incurred without the approval of at least two Commissioners, and when It is to be paid for it hus to puss through the hands of the auditor, and then a check has to be signed for it by two Commissioners at least, Aud the auditor is under the special department of business condueted by Mr. Hine. 2 to fhe question of contracts, The law ificully provides that ‘all contracts for the tiou, improvement, alteration or ri pairs of the streets, avenues, highways, alle gutters, sewers, and ail work of like nature shail be made and entered into only by and ith the official unanimous consent of the Commissioners of the District.” The Engineer Commissioner ean, therefore, make no con- tracts and he bas nothing to do with disburse- ments, aud the anditor who audits the accounts is under Commissioner Hine. I do not see where the point made comes in. great deal has been said about the state of the law authorizing the detail by the Presi- dent of the United States of two officers from the engineer corps of the army te act as assist- ants te the Engincer Commissioner, and some stross has been laid upon the proposed altera- vou of that jaw so «a8 to have these officers act as assistants to the Commissioners, Well, suppose this ehange in the law should be made, would that add te the security of the civilian Commissioners? I do not sce how it would. These assistants have no power tosmake contracts, purchase anything or create any indebtedness, ner to disburse a doll and thie change of the law to have them detailed as assistants to the Commissioners in- stead of to the Engineer Commissioner would not add to or detract from the responsibility of the — Commissioners. “As @ matter of fact it is proper to say right hore that the enginccr assistante have ‘dene service upen the order of the Commissioners outside of matters referred to the Engineer aright, order was signed the other Commissioners before it was pre- sented to me for signature.

Col, Robert's reference to the tial of an officer for drunkenness and bis suggestion thet I ‘did not consider druukenness on @uiy @ very serious offense’ js not only jeRuous but uutrue. Itis the case of Nolan, and 1 re fer to the record ef that trial (which is fo any one to examine) and the netion thereon to prove that Col. Robert's commen ou that case are gratuitous, “I do not think it possible that Col. Rebert bas burned the affidavits and statements by him and submitted to the board and by the board submitted two the Major or super miend- ent of police and afterward to the attorney of the District aud which were called for by the defense in the Guy triaj, Such an act would be a very grave offense. Even oatate commun cations’ rn he officers destroyed without endangering the personal liberty as well as the oficial position of the oflicer who destroys them, Col.
