End of the Southwestern Strike.

L
Missouri railways has been settled, and
$4,000 men who have been idle in conse-
Quence OF the strike have returned to work.
The strained relations which seemed to
exist between the officers of the Mis-

and three by the company, another to be
appointed by those six. The following dis
patch from Jay Gould is published:
