tral Prepared for an Emergency.
A Quiet Sunday.
New York, Aug. 12.—Everything in
and around the New York Central de¬
pot wae quiet and orderly yesterday.
Nearly all of the trains ran on schedule
time, tho only ones that wore not started
out being the 8:49, Croton local, and
the Peei:3.:iU accommodation, which
was to kart at 10:2.5. • A,:
There Were rumors thatthe _ Brother¬
hood of the Locomotive aid of the Engineers would
co mo to strikers, but so
far the engineers have made no move
towards a strike.
General Manager Toucey and a num¬
ber of his associates deoided to begin
•roving road freight trains today. The rail¬
company claim that they have re¬
ceived a number 6f applications for the
positions vaciited by the strikers, and
that a large number of the places have
already road been filled by experienced rail¬
men.
A Statement from Mr. Webb.
Vice President Webb gave the follow¬
ing circular to the press:
The position ot the company is this: We
will select our own men and we do n<ft pro¬
will te designated by the
or its committees. When
I we shall get rid of the in¬
efficient, the most vicious and those least in
secord with our Interest*. will When promotions
are to be made we not be bound by the
seniority rul.es promulgated by the Knights
of^Labor.* A due consideration will always be ^ -* given _ — to
length of service, but the first and most Im¬
portant rule will be tho qualifications of the
men for the place. If our men have griev¬
ances, the proper officers will be willing to
grant hearings and see that consideration Is
given, but we will not allow outsiders to In¬
tervene or to interfere between the employer
and employe.
For this reason alone 1 refused to allow Mr.
Holland to discuss any differences alleged to
exist between the company and its men, and
not for employs the reason at stated, mein that wo objeet to
to our belhz bora of labof Or¬
ganizations.
These are my views and I am satisfied that
they are concurred In and approved by every
official of the company, by its board of direct¬
ors and by the gentlemen who are most In¬
terested In its securities. The strike is III ad¬
vised, cannot succeed and we will put It down
and main tain the position we have taken.
t»« tho Woat Shore.
All passenger trains on the West
Shore road were started out about half
an hour behind the schedule time. In¬
coming trains were delayed by insufficiency about the
same len gth of time of
switch operators.

main body of the police will be stationed

is considered the key to the situation.

a precautionary measure. *

The Situation At Albany.
ation Albany, N. Y., Aug. 12.—The situ¬
here becomes more serious every
minute and the intense quietude whicn
road prevails among the men and at the rail¬ Hie
railroad yards is viewed with alarm by
officials. At West Albany not
laden a man with was visible, but the 3,000 ears
merchandise were still there
and the tracks already beginning to
rust. The yard is guarded by Pinker¬
ton men, who watch the oil trains and
lumber piles very closely. What few
men of the Knights of Labor could be
seen were almost jubilant and would
not say why.

Governor Hill’s Position.
Governor Hill was asked last night if
he had ordered the militia to report for
service at Syracuse. He said that it
was untrue. He had not been called
upon and probably would not be. The
sheriff of any county could call upon
the militia to act in case of an emer¬
gency. Asked if he would give his
views upon the strike, he declined to
talk, but intimated that the men would
not be molested by the militia unless in
case of riot. He hoped the men-would
obtain their rights.
