It is Interesting to note the opinion expressed
by ex-Em proas Eugenie In conversation with a

that any great measure proposed by any Eng

Lord Hartlngton, In speeoh In Lancashire

Mr. Trevelysn. Mr. Qoachen. Sir Henry Jamea.
Mr. Bright. Earl Belborne, Earl Derby, and tha

portion of the audience made hostile demon

Mr. Bright who was unable to attend the
meeting, sent a letterOln which he said he
thought that Lord Hartlugton's conduct had
beun consistent and courageous, " It would be
calamity for the country if measures of the
transcendent magnitude ot Mr. Gladstone's
should be accepted on the nuthnrity of any
leader, however eminent. The present snd
division in the Liberal party has arisen
through tho Introduction of the Irish measures
before the publlo mind was properly prepared
for them."

Mr. Bell of the firm of Bell A Fyfe said:
" Yesterday morning my men ware called out
from work. A delegate who. n woek ago, camo
bsrHWitbnIlstofdemands.all of which tvere
granted, wns the person who called tbe men
out. The engineer and carpenter also struck.
I cannot say why the men went nut. We give
tha Incrense of wages, recognize the union,
and give double price for overtime. I now
hear it said thatthey struck because myeon is
ompioyed hern, but If tbat Is thu causs I was
not toldTitlt by tho meu or any of their dele
gates. I always tried to act fairly with tho
men."
"Mr. Roll and Mr. Fyfe know well why tholr
men wore called out." said Mr. Iimon, the
dalcKate referred to by Mr. UIL " It was he
cnusQ they discharged twelve ot our men after
thoy hnd osroed to tho den-ands mentioned by
Mr. Bell. The talk about lilaeon Is uonsenne;
tho union docs not nnd did not object to tils
working. The firm of Rell A Fife Is hold In
good ruptito by tbe workers because, they have
heretofore shown a tlleuosltion to treat their
mon fairly. We know, however, that thoro Is
an understanillni; with the employers. They
Intend to discharge union men whenever they
cnn. Now, to offset the talk about drivlnii work
away on account of tho Increase, hero Is
what Mr. Hoaluy of tho Henley Iron Works, In
North Fifth street, says about our circular:
"I belie, e In palnv the men decent wasea and it la
only natural that the Iron men should demand hieher
wagea after the carpenters, masons, and others had
their warns lncrea.ed during the last twovenra Our
Arm decided some time ego to raise tho u nee 10 per
cent', and when the committee from New York colled on
ua wecould tell thein that they were just two weeks be
hind time. We have been in business fur thirty-one
years nod never had a atrlke."
Mr. Bulger said yosterdny:
"I dltl not know my men were to De called
nut. nnd. ns soon as I was Informed tbat they
had been. I went to their hnndquartnrs and
told the committee I had intended to accede to
tbe demands. Tba men will return to work
in the mornlntr. The committee asked me if I
mennt to tllsebnrge men on account of tho
trouble. I told them I did not. I'm afraid tho
Increase of wages will take orders from this
part of the country to Connecticut and other
places where wages are not so hiuh."
At a meeting of the men last nlsbt It was an
nounced that other nmployors would nccede to
the demands, aud that all tho men would be at
work before the week ended.
Tim lloole. tho Continental. Fisher's, the
Braid Brothers, and Brown A Patterson con
cerns hnvo acceded to some ot the demands,
and have been placod "on the list" for further
consideration. "
E. U. Wilcox, one ot the proprietors of tho
Fulton Fuuudry, mild that sny just grievances
on the part of Its employees would be rectified.
ITo expected that tho strike would be ot short
duration.
Tho Bouth Branch of the Iron Fottndrymen's
Association, comprieinc bjtween 3U0 nnd 400

mously adopted. It wns reported that tho de

grunted. In three or four days it was expected
that the mon would know nxaclly how they
Blood, but under no clrcumetnnces would there

thnt every leading firm would enncedo the de

Tbo conferences began on Bundny for a
aettlement of the Tblrd Avenue Railroad
atrlke wore resumed yesterday, but resulted In
no agreement. The carriages that stood about
tha Blxtr-flfth street deoot on Sunday night
carried Dr. Samuel Hall. Lawyer Lnuterbaob,
and young Mr. Lyon, son of President Lyon, to
tbe Buckingham -total on Fifth nvenuo. Mr.W.
F. King of the firm of Calhoun. Bobbins A. Co.,
friend of Railroad Commissioner O'Donnell,
gotup the conference and Invited the Execu
tive Committee of the Empire Protective As
sociation. Messrs. Downing. Best, and Graham
went to the hotel It was said yesterday
that the representatives of the strikers ac
cepted the company's proposition to take back
all but 150 men. Tbe Executlro Committee In
return Insisted that ther. and not the com
pany, ahould say which of the old hands
should be taken back. Tbe representatives of
the company would not agree to this, and the
conference broke up at midnight.
Committeeman Best snld last night: "Mr.
King came to us and said that Mr. Lautnrbach
was willing to meet the committee. I aald per
sonally I had no objection, but I did not pro
pose to make a final settlement I said tbat If
any ot us went It would be unofficially.
Upon our agreement tbat the conference was
to be strlotlr private, wo went to tba hotel. The
Third avenue directors aald they were
willing to take back 1,200 of us. Tbey
could not or would not remove the
men thoy have taken on In our places
slnco the strike began. Superintendent
Robertson said they hnd 237 men now. and tho
other directors proposed that they deduct this
number, Mr. King suggested that tbo num
ber be mndo 100. and it wns redurod
afterward to 75. Tho question ttrose wbo
should choose tbe men. We maintained
wo had tbo rurht. The directors suftl
tbat was the proposition ngnlnst w Ich thoy
had linen battling all along. Tho memlwrH of
the I'.xeculive Hoard mild they were willing
that no emploee who had botm ohnrirml with
violence ehould be rcittitatuil. Wo maintain
Dow, as wo have all along, that nil our men
shall go In together."
Lawyer LVclnstne. counsel for the strlkprs.
wits at tho headquarters of the Emniro Protec

tee had ompoweied him to nrranto a sottlo
tuent of the difficulty upon certain terms, not
much different from those insisted upon nil
along by the strikere. He wns going to meet
Mr. Lnuterbncb. counsel for the company, nnd
If Mr. Lauterbach lnul rooxiveil fiom the com
pany such powers ns tho strikers bud given Mr.
Kceleslun thoy would not be long in urranging
a settlement.
Lnwver Ecclesinn called on Mr. Lautorbach
nt 10i lost night at the lutti-r's bouno. Mr.
Lauterbach said that Mr. Kccloslne made no
new proposition. Mr. KcclHslne rojoined the
Empire Association committee at midnight.
"Mr. Lnuterbacb." ho suid, "has refused
to troat upon any other terms than thoso pro
posed at Sunday night's meatlnc in tbo Buck
ingham Hotel. The interfrrenei. of Mr. King
has rather upset things. The members of the
committee went inadvisedly to the meeting of
the Buckingham Hotel. At my meeting with
Mr. Lauterbach to-night he s .rl that Mr. Hart
now refuses to entertain any other terms."
"The conferences are vlrtuully at an end."
said Lawyer Lauterbach. " We are willing to
take back any ot our men wbo left by their own
true will, of courso subject to our soloaLlon;
but under no circumstances whatever will the
company recognize tho right of any body of
men to dictate to them who they shall not em
ploy. It Is only in the natural courso of events
a question of time till enough mnn are found
to fill all the vacant places. The directors own
about three-fourths of the stock- so that there
is no chance ot an appeal from them by
stockholders, if stockholders wero disposed to
appeal. Under no circumstances whatever
will tlieomnany rotroat from its present posi
tion, no matter how lonf It takes or bow much
nionny. Wo want pence, but peace with honor."
PrnHiilnnt l.von nnlil It wns "a relirn of ter

shut up at C P. M. To-iiiiy is expected thu de
cision of the Railroad Commissioners ns to
whether or not the company Is justified in
shutting up on that theory.
Tho cam on Third avenue began running at
7 yesterday mornlnir, and ran until shortly
after G P.M. Bixty-flve oars wore run on tbe
avunue, ten on 125th street, nnd two on tho
cable road.
Inspector Dllks. fearing that an attempt
might be made to interfere with the running of
the cable cars, statlonod raottnti'd policemen
along Tenth avonue. Policeman Nevlns sat on
his horse nt 132' I street at 3 o'clock In the after
noon, looking down the line. He wns in such a
position that he could see without being seen.
A block bolow him a man suddenly ran out to
the track, sot upu wedue-sbnped stono In tbe
slot in which the grip travels, pounded it in
with nnotlD-rstono. and thon rnn nway. Tbo po
liceman rode after him. and dragged him from
the top of a fenco over which hu was trying to
climb. The man said ho wns John Smith of
1.8.2 Third avenuo, and that he hnd been a
grip man on tbe cable road. President Lyon
snld that tho man's name is Miller, tbat tbo
stono was plncd una down grndo. and that If a
cur bad struck it tho car would have been
thrown from tha track, and lives of passengers
would have bnen ondnngareil. A oar was in
sight when the stone was put in tho slot, but
wns stoppud before renchlug It
Tbe engineers, firemen, nnd machinists ot
the cable road did not strike. They will be
visited by n committee of strikers and will be
requested to quit work.
Acurlod-un rail on the down-town track,
just below Fifty-ninth street, slopped soverai
cars. An amatour trnck repairer tried to
straighten it with a sledge hammer in the
afternoon, but could not. An hour after tha
reserves of the Fllty-ulnth street station had
been called in in tbe evening Trackmaster
Bohoon maker and three laborers went
down to take ud the rail nnd replace It
A crowd assnmblod and hooted tbe laborers.
The six policemen in tbe neighborhood
firodded the people In tbe crowd, but could not
nduco them to move on. At 7K o'clock at
least a thousand meu had gathrad. Capt.
Gunner's reserves hurried out and cleared the
street double quick.
"It was very injudicious to repair the track
at this time." said Capt. Gitiiaor. "They
might have ilono It by ilai'llcht."

of Its kind, us it consists principally of sweep- :19
