WINNIPEG, Dec. IL.
The entire business of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad is at q staudstill. No trains are
moving and the workshops are all shut down.
The trouble is owing to the policy of retrench-
ment adopted by the company. deputation
of engineers waited on Superintendent Egan
yesterday and submitted the schedule of
wages demanded and giving him "a hours to
reply. Egan replied that he would decide in
"a seconds and accordingly sent out agree
ments to be signed, accepting the wages Of
fered by the company. This morning the
engineers refused to sign the agreement and
SIR Egan issued an order to close all the
workshops along the line. At noon 5000
walked out. An engineer abandoned train at
White Mouth on the Eastern Division. The
company will prosecute him. The mail
South was sent to Emerson by . sleigh. The
company has telegraphed East for engineers,
but it will be several days before trains will
be run. 1t is feared the men will become
demonstrative when new men come and
and trouble is expected.

gress. The experiments BY the department
of extracting the juice from Sorghum cane
by diffusion instead of milling were very sue
cessful, and have resulted in an increase of
% to so perscent yield.
In urging the importance of forest culture,
he says the total value of forest products in
the United States for the census year was es-
timated at 500, 900; in other words on
forest products are excess in value to our
crops Of hay, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat,
potatoes and tobacco. Taken together, the
amount is ten times the value of the gold and
silver of which we make so much account,
and more than three times the value of the
precious minerals and coal and other miner
ais combined.
The expenses of the department for the
year were S455, 697.

The case Of Francis j. Parmenter brother
Of Mr.. J. Carpenter Of Lewiston, Me-, who
it was supposed was murdered Saturday
night, is assuming new aspects and it is more
than probable that he was killed by . kick
from the horse which he was feeding, and
that afterwards his body was found and
robbed. This afternoon the jury viewed the
body again and found that two Of the wounds,
which we're evidently made by sharp instru-
on a horse shoe. The shoe of the little
horse, which il has been proven is vicious,
was produced, and the calks exactly fitted
the wounds. Today pocket book of the
deceased was found in some straw in the
barn, which was carefully searched Sunday,
and the blood on the club which it WAS sup
posed the man Was murdered is Of differ
ent color Of that on the floor. The theory,
is that Parmenter was killed by kick from
the horse about 6 o'clock and that some three
heurs later his body was found by some per-
son who took his pocket book. Then, hav
ing moved the body to rob it, he smeared the
club with fresh blood and threw it into the
yard. DIR. Palmer will give his evidence.
Among other things the result of a micros-
copic examination Of the horses hoof will be
given Tuesday forenoon. and a verdict will
doubtless be obtained at once. The police
are now busy looking for the robber.
