CHICAGO. April AT 10 o'cl ock Last
night report was received at the rooms
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neeTs. at the Grand Pacific, that all the
yardmasters OF the Burlington, except
three, had left the service OF the
company, because they would not
work with scabs There are in all about
twenty yardmasters, in the night and
day crews, and it is their knowledge of the
local geography of the yards which makes
them valuable. and upon that knowledge
depends the proper disposition of the
freights as they arrive. Hence it
viii be seen that they occupy peculiar
ly important positions just at this time,
as tho rush of freight on the sQT
which the raising If the boycott has caused
renders it imperative that all consignments
be handled with expedition This blow,
following the switchmen's strike Just at
tine moment when it would produce the
most harm, looks as If the fight was not yet
over.
The Burlington strikers played their last
card yesterday The forecast in yester-
days dispatches that an attempt was
about to be made to bring the Burling-
ton OulcialS ana the strikers together
proved correct, and yesterday morn
ing the conference was held General
Manager Jeffery. of the Illinois Central
railroad; Chief Sargent. of the Firemen's
Brotherhood; President Monaghan, of the
Switchmen's Union, and Chairman Hoge
and Murphy Of the @" strikers, went to
gether to the Burlington offices They
were received by General Manager
Stone, Writ Dexter, chief coun-
sci of the Blu Ellington. ice-President
J. C Peasley and Superintendent Besler
A long and animated conference was held
during which Mr. Sargent acted as the
spokesman for the strikers, in the absence
of Chief Arthur. He again urged arbitra-
tion, but the Burlington officials de-
clared such a proposition could not
be enter tanned. as the road had substan-
italy a fun compliment of engineers and
firemen. and under no circumstances would
new and competent man be discharged to
make room for an old employee Mr. Stone
then urged upon Mr. Sargent the propriety
OF ceiling the strike OFF, and promised that
the company would consider applications
from the old men, and would give as many
of them work as places could be found for.
The conference ended without any declara-
ton from the strikers as to the course they
would pursue

A sPECINr of volcanic ash collect

been analysed by Prof. Mallet- The ash
fell in july. 1885. and formed - de-

The interesting feature in the compost

amount of silver. probably as silver
chloride; the result of several expert
