CHICAGO, March An authorized
statement of what measures, if any, the
Burlington com pany proposed to take in
the courts or before the Interstate COM
merce commission in order to compel
other corporations to handle business
rendered by the Burlington, was much
sought after this afternoon, but the Bur

speaking of the subject, and Writ DeX-

though sought in number OF places

General Managers Meet.

CHICAGO, March IA prominent
railroad official said this evening that
he understood the grievance committees
OF number of roads will each form
ulate an appeal to the general manager
of the company by which they are en-
ployed, asking for the intervention OF
the general managers of the various
roads as body to help the Burlington
strike to settlement. 1t is rumored
tonight that meeting of the general
managers entering the city will be held
here tomorrow or next day to discuss
the situation. Marvin Hughitt, presi-
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern
company, is credited with being the
leading spirit in the movement to bring
about Intervention by the general man
ayers Of outside roads. A knowledge
of this fact is limited TO be one cause of
the reluctance of the Chicago Il North
western grievance committee to-day to
adopt a hostile policy.

Eccentric Law Makers.

Dies MONIES, To-, March 7.-One of
the incidents in the house to-day was
the introduction to that body of John
Brown. a son of the historic OSsawatto-
ME Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame.
He made a short speech, remarking
that thirty-One years ago he last visited
Des Moines when fugitive from JUS
tIce after his exploits in Kansas. He
congratulated the state on the moral
and intellectual growth of her people;
extolled the virtues of prohibition,
woman suffrage and high protective
tariff, regretted that leading paper
here wanted to cease waving the bloody
shirt, and delivered himself of polit-
ical harangue generally. He is we'll
advanced in years, and his long white
hair and beard give him striking ap-
pearance. One other incident was the
offering of an amendment to the rail-
way bill by the speaker while presiding
over the house, and his delivery in sup
port of it without relinquiShing the
gavel. Probably such an event never
before occurred. The amendment was
voted down

Killed by Wolves,

Speclai 10 the GLOBE.
New ROCKFORD, OAK, March THE
news has just reached here that father
and son, living several miles northeast
of this city, were destroyed by wolves
yesterday. The two unfortunate men
started to haystack some ten rods from
the house to shovel path around the
stack when they were surrounded by
wolves and literally eaten alive. The
horror-stricken mother was standing at
the window with babe in her arms,
spectator to the terrible death of her
husband and son, but was unable to aid
them. After they had devoured every
flesh from the bones of the men the
denizens of the forest attacked the
house, but retired to the hills in a short
time. Investigation found nothing but
the bones of the husband and son. The
family name was Olson. Wolves are
more numerous and dangerous now
than ever before known in North Da-
kOta.

The Men Went Out Quietly and
Their Places Were Filled.
Special to the Globe.
LACROSSE, Wis. March There is
little to report regarding the engineers
and firemen's strike on the Burlington
beyond the fact that it occurred at 10
O'Clock. The men insist that it is not
strike at all, but they have simply quit
work Oh account of difference of Opin-
ion between them and the officers of the
road. AS fast as engines were deserted
new men were put in charge, and the
practice is to place in the cab with each
new engineer conductor who KNOWS
the road thoroughly, and this will be
followed up until the men become
familiar with the line. There
have been good many appli-
cants for positions around the offices
to-day. All are subjected to the usual
examinations, and the officers say none
will be taken of whose competency
there is a reasonable doubt, while all
who prove worthy may rely on perma-
nent work. Not all of the engineers
have gone out, some of the best men re-
naming. One man said tonight he
had gone through one strike, in which
his family suffered, and he thought that
was about enough for him. The con-
duct of the men is entirely peaceable,
and no one who knows them has any
doubt it will be so, no matter what hap
pens. The officers of the road say they
are as fine a body of men as work on
anv road in the United States and it is
a matter of great regret that this COM
plication has arisen.

Harris, of the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern, said: Il was not surprised
at the strike of to-day. first heard of
ID through a dispatch sent me after it
had occurred. got no notice of it, but
Ipresume the officers OH the road were
notified before hand. We refused to
agree not to handle 90" cars. When
they threatened to strike, but withdrew
the threat, a few days ago, they did so
voluntarily. / made no concessions or
compromises with them" MI. Harris
claimed that the strike would not
cripple the road. 1--WE had nearly
enough men," he said, ''to take the
strikers places before they went out.
We will go right ahead with our bust
ness. All have done is to order our
agents not to receive perishable

Alexis, of Lake st. Ann Stonies, with
three OF their councillors, accompanied
by s. Cunningham and d. Maloney, the
formor acting as Interpreter, are at Ed
monitor to tell the story of starvation
among the Indians in the Northwest
territories. Alexandra acted as SpOkeS-
man when being interviewed. He said
in effect: eve have come to Edmonton
to make complaint that the government
has not used as they agreed. If they
continue to use us during the rest of the
winter as they have up to the present
time perhaps few will see spring, but
those who do will be too weak to do
anything to help themselves. Before
leaving we held meeting among our
tribes at which the whole talk was to
KILL GOVERNMENT CATTLE
or one of our own horses for food. 1t
would be no use to kill the dogs, for
they were starving as we'll as us. We
agreed that before we would die of
starvation we would kill all the cattle.
If the government will do any thing for
us we beg that they Will do it right
away. We can not stand the hunger
any longer. Ii we do not get help at
once we will have to kill the cattle the
government has placed with us for our
use. The government knows that other
winters we were able to help ourselves
by getting fur, which we could trade
for food. With that and what the gov
eminent then gave us we could live
well enough.
THE GOVERNMENT PROMISED
that in years OF failure, such as this,
they would help us more, but instead of
doing so in this year of scarcity they
have lessened the usual supply of food
by more than One-half. The statements
appearing in the papers on the cOndi-
ton of the Indians heretofore are
true" Chief Michel said when
interviewed: ''If the government
wishes us to live they must
help us as quickly as possible. We see
plainly that we cannot live on what
they now give us, and that we will die
if they cannot do little better. This
winter we have no furs, no crop, no
game, no fish. Last year [ had 800
bushels of grain; this year not bushel.
Last year had 100 bushels ofkpotatoes;
this year fifteen bushels. We got few
fish from Lake st. Ann, but very few,
as the fishing there was a failure. Dur
ing the day on which the interview
took place a telegram was sent to Sir
John Macdonald, asking for immediate
assistance. The people will become
desperate if something is not done soon
to alleviate their SutferingS.

Alexander Butler, an old gentleman
with hoary locks and confiding look
on his weatherbeaten face, stood before
Judge Hornblower yesterday and de-
MED he was vagrant.
s"This is all a mistake, judge" he
said. 81 am one of the respectablest
men in the country, although l say it
myself, which shouldn't. l was once

and jimmie Smith was so OverjOyed to

Il followed her to the prison, poor
soul. to find out what she was arrested
for, just out OF pure friendship, and
they ran me in, too. Oh, dear, but this
is a sinful world. l never was in court
before, so help ME bob. and l will hold

soul.'
"Well, that was very kind of you. I'll
send you to the House of Correction,
and guess she will go along, too, di-
rectly; so you can be very friendly
there for the next ninety days"
Mr.. Butler looked thunderstruck, and
as he retired Mrs. Jennie Smith, alias
Butler, came forward.
She was apparently about sixty years
old and as lively as a kitten. II would
like to be in room alone with the man
that arrested me and Alexander" she
exclaimed when allowed to open her
mouth. II would make him look so
pretty that his mother wouldn't know
HIM. Did / insult him, the braSS-but-
toned dude? Oh, you're beauty, amt
yOu?"
"Are you any relation to Alexander,
the gentleman you met at the Fountain
theater?" asked the Judge.
ANY relation, is it? Why, we've
been married three weeks, if not more"
''Then guess you feel kind lone
some without him. You will have the
pleasure of riding out with him to-day
and spending the next three months in
his society. Take her away, bailiff."

The Union Pacific's Position.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb. March 7.-Acting Gen
eral Manager Kimball this afternoon
issued circular letter to the engineers
in the employ of the Union Pacific road,
calling their attention to the changes
effected in the responsibilities of rail
roads by the interstate commerce law,
and the responsibility of employees of
roads engaged in interstate traffic. The
Burlington strike is not referred to, but
the circular is understood to have been
issued to remind the engineers of the
liability Of the Union Pacific if it re-
fused to receive Burlington freight, and
the danger of an action against the en-
gineers themselves for conspiracy. The
local freight agent of the Burlington
last evening sent to the agent Of the
Union Pacific list of cars to be
switched, but the cars have not yet
been moved
