The Santa Fe Strike Off.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March IS.-The
Santa Fe strike is over. The following of
hcial notice was issued at 6 o'clock this
evening:
KANSAS CITY, March IS, ISSS.-To
the En1ineers and FIrenlen on the
Santa Fe System. l am advised by our
grand chief to request of you that you re-
turn to your respective positions at once;
further, that | repair to Chicago and ad-
Just all misunderstanding.
u. CoNRoE,
Chairman of the general grievance COM
mittee."
DENVER, March lS.-The strike on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system was
declared ended at 4 o'clock this afternoon
and all of the engineers were ordered back
to work. The order came to the chair
man of the local grievance committee in
Denver at about that hour, in cipher, and
was Immediately acted upon. Just the
way it happened and Just the causes
which led to it could not be learned last
evening.
A prominent engineer among the strik
ing Burlington men said: q do not pre-
tend to say that what | will tel you is alb
solutely correct, but | have reason to be-
lieve it is. To me it is as plain as a hand
before my face that a complete under
standing existed between Chief Arthur
and Grand Master Sargent of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen, too, and
the officials OF the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe. The latter were not only will
ing but DESTROYS that the brotherhood
should show its strength on the system
and demonstrate thereby that they could,
at a moments notice, completely paralyze
the immense traffic along the 5000 miles
of road which the company controls. 1t
is plain to be seen that the company now
has a good case if they should be called
to account for failing to handle Burling-
ton freight"
I'VE are gaining. gradually, but sure
ly," said Engineer Fowler last night.
Before the strike eighty switch engines
we're being handled in the Chicago yards.
A week age there were twelve. To day
there are two. The Readin G
men who have gone home, saying
that the Burlington has not kept
its agreements with them, tell the
the truth. They were promised passen-
ger runs, every one OF them, They can
do better to run on freights in Pennsylva-
MA. That is all there is in it. More than
half of them will be gone inside of an
other week.

There is said to be no instance in which
a peasant ever refused to pay his taxes.
Once IA year the collector enters the VII
lage, taps at the window and calls
"kazal' Then the man or woman of the
house comes out with the money, which
Is always ready, losses it into the bag of
the collector, who does not count it, be-
cause he knows it is all the moujik has
got. When night comes the collector en-
tiers the best house in the village, hangs
ms money bag under the image of the
Saviour, and carouses or sleeps til morn
ing, being perfectly confident that his
money will not be disturbed, because of
the veneration for the car, whom he rem
resents. and the image under which the
treasure is placed.-William Eleroy Cur

trast to that of last week, being strong

Woman in Switzerland.

Some persons seem 10 find much COM
fort In the statement that Swiss women
dispute the most lucrative trades with
men: but really before bowling down and
worsh1ping the country of economy, n.
will do no harm to remember that the
women also dispute the work of agricult-
ure with the men and aver with the ami
mails. There is no g~allantry or chivalry
about a Swiss at home. He is said to be

Shut Up the Shop.

MARsHALLTowN, Iowa, March 49,
Receiver Dudley this morning closed the
shops and general offices of the Central
Iowa railway in this city, paying off all
employees here and along the line except
enough to guard the property and handle
the passenger service. This is the result
of the tie-up of freight traffic on account
Of hauling 20" cars, and is the receivers
only alternative, as without freight earn
ings there would be nothing to meet the
pay roll. Notice has been given all strik-
ing engineers to report for duty at s
O'Clock to morrow or be discharged. The
lay off affects 1000 men.

The Railroad Gazette, referring to the
numerous patents on car couplers, and
the difficulty experienced by the railroad
officials in determining the lines of the
future standard Janney type coupler,
quotes the sayings of a facetious master
mechanic. He suggests that car coupler
inventors should turn their attention. to
an automatic locomotive engineer-one
who would never look on the cup when it
is read, never lose time, never have leaky
flues or a hot box, INT never misread or
ders, have n collision or stick in a snow
bank. He says he feels sure such an in
vention would attract the attention of our
great railroad ~monopolists and fulfill n
long felt want, especially If it could be
warranted to run POO miles after a nickel
had been inserted in the slot.-Scientiac
