The hotels in the neighborhood are crowded with disuppointed travelers, Ata late hour Vice President Webb stated that in the yards of the Grand Cextral depot at Forty-second street, Fifty-sixth strect and at West Albany there were about eight bun- dred und fifty men out. These men were all switchmen and there was no trouble with the engine or firemen. He intended to clear the tracks of a , few stray cars tonight and get ready to run trains after 7 o'clock. He said that there might betrouble when this was attempted, but the company would be afforded ample police protection. Webb stated that outside of local short distance trains there were four- teen trains that ought to have loft the station between 7 o’clock and midnight. Oualy one of these went out—the fast muil train. Thoey surely would have trains runuing in the moriing, J. Holland of the executive board of the Knights of Labor was scen a fow minutes later, He expressed himself as firmly us did Webb, only his way of putting it was that trains would not move for several mornings, In Webb's office a telegraph instrument was clicking. A reporter, who could read the instrument, heard Utica call up New York and ask for men_to be sent there to get passenger cars out of the yards, Anothe message from Palnyra said that the freight yards that point were blocked and all frefghit af tand still, n New York called up Syracuse repeatedly, but could got no answer, It was rumored that a number of operators would go out at midnight. These messages seem to contradict Webb's statoe- ment that there was no trouble west of Albany, A notice was posted in the depot to the effect that the sale of tickets had been suspended temporarily and the tieket agent would refund all money paid for tickets if called upon to do so. Late tonight J.J. Holland stated had not ordered the strike, but thou, head of the local division of the Knights of Labor might have done it. Several strikers were interviewed on the matter, but declined to talk further thau to say that it would Prove to be the biggest strike” before it was over that people in the east had seen for soume time, At a late hour it was stated by some strikers that the Lake Shore 1 as far as Chicago was in_the same tied up condition as the Central, This ramor, however, could not be verified. ‘The scone about the depot five minutes after it hecame kuown that a strike had beeu ordered was one that will long be remem bered.

He said the « of the house that the proper place to grant this relief in the deficiency bill could not stand untrue and was doing business by This was the proper bill, ficiency bill sometimes fails of pussage, the sundry civil never. Senator Sanders thought congress was failing to doits duty by the settlers in many particulars. He spoke of the lands heid in Montana and elsewherc ¢ railroad comp: hout any warraut of law. dad arcas of land were covered by timber, and that timber was necessary to the comfort of settlers, yet it ould not be obtained by any character of entry, To withdraw timber from the settler would depopulate any northwestern eountry The government maintained a large army of timber agents, ready to pounce upon any one who took timber from the lands held fraud- ulently by railroad companies, but ouid not give land offices & suf- ficient clerical force to do their work properly or expeditiously, He made a splendid attempt for velief and was assisted by Seaator Puddock and others, but the re- portof the conference committee, refusing relief, was adopted. Judge Groff was an_interested listener to the debate upon the confercuce report s Judge Giroff wio first called_the tion of Senator Paddock to the effect of the irrigation law in the west, and who has since that time manifested great interest in such action by congress as would throw open to the people of the United the great urea, two-fifths of the areable lands of the country, to settlement. Judge Groff said to- day: *1do not believe that wihen congross rm,ch the law of October, 188§, that thoy had — any idea of the ' damaging effeet that this exceution would have upon thewest, The result has been to suspend the opening of all the land throughout that vast section of the country lying west of the one hundred and first merediun and which includes many hundreds of thousauds of thousands of acres cbraska, while the intention w i o provide a proper basis for the storage of waters aud other dis- tribution on the best possible plan through- out the west. Theresult has been that a great blow has been struck at the prosperity of that section of the country. The interior department, under the construction of the law gwen by the attorney general, had nothing to do but withhold these lands from scttlement, and congress is now attempting to untie the kaot which the themselves tied two years ago. The demand for the opening of these lands has come, not from corporations, but from homesteaders and precmptors throughout the west, who now find their titles assaulted. “Ttis'to be hoped that cougress will arrive at some sol tion of the question which will relieve the west and the land office from the embarras ment under which it is suffering,” WESTERN SENATORS COMMENDED, The action of several western seuators in standing fora reduction of duties is freely and favorably commented upon vy the paper throughout the east in favor of tariff reform. In an extended editorial in o New York paper this moming the action of Senator Paddock yesterduy ininducing the senate committee on finance to consent to a reduction of 36 per cent in structural iron was shown to Paddock this evening, The senator said: *1 do uot care pavticularly for democratic com- mendation. In my few remarks to the senate 1 simply appealed on behalf of my scetion of the west and particularly on behalf of my stute, whose prosperous towns are yearly using moro ~ irn in the comstruction of bulldings which are everywhere going up. I don't like the assaults made by the orgzans of the hi protected manufacturers. In the posi hich I have takea on the t question I believe that 1 represeut the republicans of my state and am using perfectly proper discretion, which should be allowed to every representative of the people. There has been navote of mi v reduction which his not been o protect ive principles and wlich ean not be shown to be within the lines of affording ample pro- tection to equalize the differences in labor The people of the west, who are in of tariff revision, belie that it should n as faras possibie tariff reduction, By suying as far a8 possible I mean as’ far as possible within protective lines, which shall safely = encircle the American laborer and guarantee to him wages in proper proportion to the protection afforded the manufacturer, I wm confident that the position assumed by several western senators, including myself, has had the effect of making the senate’ committoe on financ more inelined to yield to those who demand 4 Tevision in the line of reduction, and that many of the reductions made during the tarift debute in the senate have been full of a fee ing that western senators had represented loyal republican sentemeny on the tariff ques. tion 1 the far west."
