Perrecting Their Organization.

KANSAS CRY, Mo, March 13-[Special Tel
egram to the BEE. THE strikers are so
perfcctine their organization that strike on
any or all the western roads can be ordered
at moments notice. Each of the grievance
committees which have been in session here
for several days has the power to call out the
men, but IL was decided that more power
full body would be better able to conduct
affairs, and at union meeting OF the griev-
ance committees central organization was
perfected. This body is composed of repre-
sentatives of every road running into Kansas
City. 1t will have full power to act in all
matters concerning the Burlington strike,
and the extension of the strike to other roads.
The executive committee of the union com
mittee was in secret session this morning,
selecting ub-committees to watch the various
roads, and to attend to other details of the
strike. a joint meeting of the grievance
committees of the Missouri Pacific and the
Rock Island was held in the Union Depot
hotel this morning. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Assistant General Freight Agent
Wentz, of the Rock Island, and Division Su
Both of these gentlemen, and also MIR. Hama
han, of the firemens brotherhood, urged
that as the Rock Island had favored
the brotherhood in many ways the
committee give Its consent. The
Missouri Pacific committee then went
into secret session and on adjournment
announced that they could not give their con-
sent to their men handling cars made up by
"scabs" Mr.. p NJ. Stevens, who has been
in charge of the strike here, left for Chicago
tonight.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 13-TSpecial Tele-
gram. to the BEE, Anxious anticipation
characterized the only feature of the strike
to-day. The brotherhood is sanguine that the
end is at hand, and rumor gained currency
this afternoon that the strike was to end to-
night. The tide Of public opinion is setting
in strongly for'the men, and they are conf
dent and happy. The board of transporta-
tion has decided to answer the petitions from
Falls City, Wymore, Red Cloud and other
points asking official investigation concerning
the qualifications of those now employed, and
entered upon the work to-day, Secretaries
Ager and Munger going to Wymore to take
testimony at that point.
A travelling man cited to-day point in
evidence of the distrust of present engineers.
He said the accident insurance companies
had instructed their agents not to write ac-
cident policies to persons travelling on the
Burlington lines. The expressions made by
Governor Thayer. which are in line with the
statements made by Governor Larrabee of
Iowa, and Governor Martini. of Kansas, in
regard to the strike, meet with almost uni
versal commentator. The sentiment is un-
mistakable that if the road proposes to con-
tinue in its course of refusing to arbitrate, q
rigid investigation should be made by the
state board of transportation.

never recovered. DIR. Mosby and
Othe physicians were called in to see
him, and did everything possible for
his relief. They soon, however, found
his injuries fatal, and that there was
no chance Tor his recovery. His father,
John Il. Ritner ana his sister, Mrs.
VIM. Peters, OF Kansas City, were
teegraphed for and reached MS bedside

his death, Tuesday evening, when they
conveyed his remains to Kansas City

(strange to say within ton feet OF
where he was born, in the year 1855.
"Atch," as he was usually called, had
many splendid traits of character. He
was OF kind, courteous and Obiiging
disposition, and was ever ready to do
Il kind act when an opportunity was
presented. Those with whom he had
lived had many kind words 10 say of
his obliging disposition, and his
acquaintance generally regret exceed
ingly his sudden and untiInely death.

june claims the rose,
But the May month kncws
Who warmed its heart TO bushes
Who kissed 1t oft
With sunbeams sOit
In depths OF its green bushes.
Mays silvery rain,
With low refrain,
It's tender petals parted;
Mays zephyr coy
TO wantOn Joy
Wooed roses crimson hearted.
Mays madrigal
(The sky-lark's call)
Thrilled virgin rOsebuds sleeping;
Pure. white as snow,
Like vestals, grow,
Such roses, vigil keeping.
Mays moonlight glanced
Through leaves entranced
And flushed like maiden dreaming,
June's favOriie flower.
In MAYS dusk bower,
Oped to loves tender seeming.
June claims the rose;
But the May month knows,
And vows it DER and over
70 sun and moon,
To stars of June.
That Mays the roses lover.

And when to mans estate he comes

The little boy who's really mice"
Should shun such violent pleasures;
With peaceful rabbits play. or mice,
And hate ali WarlikG measures.
For him the virtuouS part and meek,

Let him think force II IL ncdy,'
But not, oh not, the BrtOn.

When threatened with invasion,
We shall not strive with brutal force,

So turn our swords to crochet hooks,
Sell off our guns and saberS;

For our pacific labOrs.
And let our youths be ftly schOOed

have furnished no apparent reason for such
course? Another ominous sign of Russia's
real attitude, notwithstanding its periodic
declaration Of pacific intentions, is the fact
that she has recently erected Notifications
and built strategic railroads on scale not
at all in harmony with her needs as the
peace loving power she would like to be con-
sidered. To illustrate this point the more
forcibly we give here a map, showing the
railroads which Russia now possesses in the
provinces from which an invasion would
probably be attempted; also the important
fortified places that in the event of war
would servo the purpose of defense, as well as
furnish a basis for military operations. In
this place we might state that that part of
Russian territory does by no means require
so many railroads, except for purposes of
strategy, since extensive tracts of it are un-
populated swamp lands, especially the dis
trict between Rowno and Wilma. Among
the numerous Notifications that have lately
been either newly erected or greatly
strengthened (which work is still going on),
we would mention Rowno, LUX, Dubno.
Warsaw, Iwangorod, Brest-Litewsk, Nowo-
Georgewsk, Ossowez and Kowno. On Aus
trlan territory adjoining that part of Russia
where the concentration of troops is chiefly
effected, there are the fortified places, Cra-
kow and Przimysl, while Germany has strong
places in Thorn, Posen, Dantzic Konigsberg
and Graudenz, the last mentioned not vet
completed. Taken all in all, we see that
Russia has chosen q very singular way for
showing her desire for the maintenance Of
the peace of Europe.
