While this did not meet with a hearty response the quietness which prevailed showed that there was not much disatisfaction with tho feeling expressed. IN CONSULTATION. The Railroad Commissioners, the Gov raor, the Grievance Committee and the Railroad Oltlelals Talk. Topeka, March 17.

The following or der was issued by tho Atchison, Topeka Santa Fo management To heads of departments, station agents, etc. Please proceed without delay to re duce your pay rolls to a minimum by temporarily suspending every employee in your department whose services are not needed to perforin police duty, re taining in the service only such employees as are necessary to protect the com pany's property. All employees so suspended from service should be fully advised that the company is obliged to taKe this step by reason of the unwise action of the majority of our engineer and firemen, and that as soon as the company is able to restore the operation of its road they will be reinstated in service i J. F. Goddahs General Manager.

Governor Martin and the Railroad Commissioners have been engaged to- drty in efforts to bring about a compromise of the strike of the Santa Fe engineers and 11 reme. They had a long interview with the Chairman and Secre tary of the Grievance Committee, and after its conclusion two members of the Board of Railroad Commissioners, Messrs. Humphrey and Green, and the members of the Grievance Commif.ee, called on General Manager1 Goddard and other officers of the Santa Feand had a long, friendly ad harmonious discussion of the situation. The gener al desire was expressed that the trouble might some way be adjusted, but no definite result was reached. The men engaged in the shops, some 1,260 have called a meeting remon strato against the strike, and are quite indignant about it.

Gee, Lincoln. STR1KK NKWS. Kansas City, March 17. The brother hood is evidently in desperate straights this morning, and they realize that they must work every means to save them selves. Chairman Carroll of the union grievance committee admitted there was no truth in the statement that the roads would be called out one each day.

This morning there was a large defection from the Santa re strikers which was the result of warm fight in the session of the committee held last night. At the meeting sixteen of the eers amiwunccd their intention of goin buck to work to-day on the Santa Fe. At this time there is a great stir among engineers una for the first time since the beginning of the strike the grievance committee are out among the men plead ing their cause. On the Fort Scott road things move smoothly and there is no indication of trouble anywhere. The Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific offi cials say they anticipate no trouble und have made no arrangements looking to ward a strike.

Assistant General Superintendent N. S. Poor, of the Santa Fe, says the road will bu running in good order before night, as a number of the men have announced their intention of returning to their cabs when called upon. The engineers will not talk. ThoBe who are managing the strike were looking very disconsolate over the defection of their brothers.

Chairman Ilitchkins, of the Gulf Grievance Committee, was very noncommittal in regard to matters under his jurisdiction, but stated that no strike had been ordered yet on the Gulf. He said the men had no grievance with the road and they would only go out if they saw that by so doing they would make a certainty of the Burlington men winning their fight. It. is a fact that the Gulf system makes no secret of the fact that it handles ail the freight sent to it by the and this is evidently not of sufficient importance to cause the men to strike. In talking with several of the Gulf engineers it was discovered that Chairman Ilitchkins is between two fires.

The men don't want to strike and strongly protest against such action, while the Union Grievance Committee are as strong in their importunities for him to order the men off their engines. The matter of a strike on the Gulf therefore is simply a mutter of relative strengths of the Union Grievanco Com mittee and the body of engineers on the road. It has been definitely ascertained that the Union Grievance Committee now have nien among the brakemen on all the roads endeavoring to get a strike in that order, but while the brakemen profess friendship for the engineers they say that they called on that Broth crhood for assistance in their great strike and failed to meet with reironse. In consequence of this they are not very anxious to aid tho engineers now. HARRY SWIFT, Looal Editor.

It in to be hoped that the Wichita Eagle will survive the fact that Marion quarantined against Wichita for three or four days. Wichita was included among a list of small pox towns sent out by the State Board of Health, and has it yet. When the Marion quarantine ordinance was passed it included all the towns in the circular sent out by tho State Board of Health. On the receipt of a letter from the Mayor of Wichita stating that their patients were on an island in the river the quarantine as re gards Wichita was raised after having been in force three or four days, and the fact published.
