Tho MISSOURI Pacific troubles

- b@AAA(
ST. LOUIS, March Sit was with the
greatest difficulty that any Missouri
Pacific trains could be moved this morn
ing from the Union depot, as the officials
of the road could persuade none of the
strikers TO assist in making them up.
Assistant Superintendent Stillwell. OF the
Union depot, assisted by three yard mas
ters, succeeded in starting all passenger
trains on time. The strikers offer no res
istance to their efforts. Not a freight car
on the Missouri Pacific has been moved
from this city since Saturday night, and
the probabilities are none can be moved
until the present difficulty has been settled,
or the railroad company fill the places of
striking knights by non members of that
organization.
The Bnkemens' Brotherhood met yes
terday, As near as could be learned,
their grievance is that their wages are too
small. They receive $50 per month. but
want $40, or Chicago prices with extra
pay for extra work. A committee Of
knights OF Labor called on the brakemen
yesterday p. m and conferred with their
committee, but no results were obtained,
and the meeting adjourned until last
night, when another conference was held.
The outcome of the meeting seems to be
that a committee of brakemen will call
upon A. A. Dickinson this afternoon, and
notify him that after 8 O'Clock no Missouri
Pacific or Bridge and Tunnel c%ompany's
cars will be handled until the present
strike il over.

Pouring OIL on Troubled Waters

fourlnR O1l on TrOuDleu waters.
LONDON, March s. The steamer Acton,

the voyage, in which the boats were lost
and two sailors named Green and Manager
washed overheard. Another named
Brown was killed at the wheel. The
Acton hove to all day, Feb. 25, when the
hurricane was Blowing. AT 10 o'clock in

Fire at the Docks in Jersey City
New YORK, March S.-When the
flames on the Monarch line dock were
discovered at . O'Clock this morning, all
the fremen in Jersey City and Hoboken
we're summoned to the scene; it soon be-
came evident they could not handle the
fire, so assistance was asked for from this
city. The large iron steamer, Egyptian
Monarch, was on fire before the tugs
could get her away from the burning
dock. The flames were SO furious that
the 6remen had no chance to subdue
them. The heat too, was so intense that
the workers could get no where near her,
and after her masts and spars were on
sumed, the flames made their way into
her cabins first, then her hold, where it
caught what was there of her cargo. and
| in a short while she was a raging furnace
of fame that so heated her side to n white
heat and made her hull at water line
throw off a cloud of steam caused by
heat within. There will be n loss on the
ship of about $500, 900, and later estimates
place the loss on the freight, which is
total, at about s25O,OO0
The superintendent ofthe Monarch line
docks said that Just before the fire started,
an explosion was heard, and il was his
opinion that the shock among the freight
that had been discharged by the Egyp-
tian Monarch, is supposed to have been
made by dynamite or an internal machine,
which the superintendent ayers was pos
sibly placed among the freight while the
steamer was lying at her dock in London,
previous to sailing for this country.
The Lydian Monarch also took fire
but was hauled out into the stream before
much damage was done. The milk depot
of the Erie road was also destroyed, en-
failing a loss OF about $4,000. Tho
Monarch line docks were entirely con
sumed; total loss estimated at half q
million.

Harper's Magazine.

Harper's Magazine for February
maintains the strength which charac-
terized the December and January
numbers. Every article in it makes a
point. The illustrations leave nothing
to be desired, and the variety of its
contents is as noteworthy as their ex-
cellence.
The number opens with thorough
study of the present condition of the
British Navy. by Sir Edward Reed, late
Chief of Construction in the Admiralty!
We have another instalment of ''She
Stops to Conquer, with four character
istic illustrations by 4. A. Abbey. In
an excellent article by James Lane
Allen. the Bluegrass Region of Ken
lucky, is fully treated. Olive Thorne
Miller, in an article entitled Living
Balls" treats the class of animals
whose anatomy enables them, like the
armadills, to assume the shape of a
sphere Miss Woolson's admirable
novel, EAST Angles, has made read
ers so familiar with Florida that they
will regard with peculiar interest Henri
Dauge's graphic sketch of holiday
trip on the Kissimmee, with MI. Frost's
and Miss Franklin's striking illustra-
tons. Mr.. Howell's charming novel,
Indian Summer, is concluded in this
number. There are two frst-rate
short stories: For Looly." by Kate
Epson Clark, illustrated by A. B. Frost,
and "A Conflict Ended" by Mary E.
wilkins. Charles H. Ham contributes
an able and suggestive article on
manual training. Charles Dudley War
ner treats of Education as Factor in
Prison Reform" Ex-Minister S. 6. W.
BENJAMIN, as a result of his observa
tions of Persian life and institutions,
contributes very interesting descrlp-
ton of the ''Tazieh, or Passion Play OF
Persia" as represented in the Royal
Takieh of Teheran. Poems are con-

the first. His brilliant sketch OF Agas-
siz, his quaint review of NJ. de BacOurt's
of American life fifty
years ago; his humorous comments on
in some recent English
novels; his genial analysis of some re-
novels by an unknown Eng
lish writer that have hitherto escaped
notice; his characterization of Balzac's
