HUNTED DOWN.
Lively and Successful Chase After
Safe Blowers.

Special to the Globe.
, ASHLAND, Wis. March 15.-Early
this morning the safe in the Omaha de-
pot at Washburn was blown open and
small amount of booty secured. The
work was done by Ashland talent, Dan
Driscoll and Thomas Ryan, the latter
notorious young burglar who recently
held up salOOnkeeper, for which
crime he did time. After blowing the
safe the fellows started across Chequa-
MACON bay for Ashland on the ice, dis
lance of seven miles. Before they had
gone far they were eSpied by the rail
way employees, and two OF them fol-
lowed, one with Winchester rifle. At
the same time Officers John Anderson
and Thomas Latin, of Washburn,
boarded locomotive and made the cir
cult of the bay, twelve miles,
in thirteen minutes, and ar
rived at the ore docks in time
to meet the fugitives half mile
out with hands up, covered by the Win
chester. News of coming burglars was
telephoned here, and for an hour before
their arrival, big crowd had assembled
on the shore, and with field glasses
watched them approach. They were
returned to Washburn for examination.
They were followed so closely that they
were unable to throw away their tools.
The city has been terrOriZed for ten
days by gang of burglars, safes being
blown open, and stores ransacked with
startling frequency.

A BOOMERANG.
A Blow Aimed at Agent Gregory
Reacts on His Enemies.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 15.-The fol-
lowing order received here by Indian
Agent Gregory's clerk, Harry Beaser,
will create decided sensation among
loggers on Indian reservations when it
reaches their eyes:
Washington, March 14.-Gregory,
Agent, Ashland: You will Immediately
put stop to the cutting ana telling of
trees on all reservations under your
charge, whether under existing con-
tracts with Indians or otherwise.
j. ID. ATKINS, Commissioner.
Logging is being done on four of the
reservations, Bad River, Lac du Flam-
beau, Lac Court grizzlies and Fond du
Lac. Between twelve and tif-
teen firms are engaged in
work and employ something like
1000 Indians. The big contractors
will not be hurt by the order as they pay
Sub-cOntractOrs who fell trees only for
logs delivered. John Denomme, who
has been the leader against Agent
Gregory in the investigation on the part
of the complaining Indians, is himself
logger on Bad river and will be ruined
by the order if it is enforced, as the sea-
son has been Improbable to him thus
far. 1t is the opinion here that the club
swung by Gregory'S enemies has acted
like a boomerang. Mr.. Gregory is ex-
pected home from Hot Springs late to-
night. He will Immediately proceed to
Washington in response TO an official
order for him to be present at the in
Vestigation next week.

ONE ENGINEER.
A Solitary Train Pulls Out From
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, March 15.-The engi-
neers and fremen on the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka Sc Santa Fe Rail
road company went out on a strike at 4
o'clock this afternoon. The strike Gre
ated intense excitement and surprise in
this city. for the reason that the road
has not been handling Burlington
freight. That the strike was ordered
by some one in authority there is no
doubt, but in this city the men
profess utter ignorance of the is
suing of any such orders, and say
that they have quit because. they
are ''tred," The first indication of
trouble here was at 4:3O O'Clock this
afternoon, at which hour the Usage City
express was scheduled to depart. Con-
ductor w. NJ. Murray gave the order to
start when Engineer Higgins quietly
stepped down from the cab and refused
to pull out. The train was finally sent
out an hour later with Engineer Furst
at the throttle. Furst is regu-
lar Santa Fe engineer, but he
has grievance against the
brotherhood, and as he mounted the en-
CINE remarked: "The brotherhood gave
me the worst of it once, and now | am
going to get even" At the same time
that Higgins left his engine at the union
depot forty men employed in the Santa
Fe freight yards at Argentine quit work,
all declaring themselves "tired." Moth
ing very positive can be said as to
the origin or cause of the strike. The
men had grievance a month ago,
and at that time had a confer
ence with the officials and
they were granted all they asked for.
The resolutions adopted at the grievance
committee meeting at Topeka some
days ago threatened strike if the COM
pany accepted any Burlington freight,
but it has been understood that the
Santa Fe was not handling any of the
boycotted business whatever. There is
no one in Kansas City authorized to
speak for the strikers, Chairman Con-
roe, of the grievance committee, having
left last might.

On the Middle Division.

NEWTON, Kas. March 15.-At 4 O'Clock
to-day all of the engineers and tiremen
of the freight and switch engines on the
Santa Fe at this point left their cabs and
the strike is on. All the passenger
trains are still running, but it is not
known how long they will continue.
Newton is the headquarters of the Mid
die division of the Sante Fe, and the
railroad yards are fast filling up
with engines and freight cars. Every
thing is quiet and orderly, but. the
engineers are reticent and give no
reason why they went out. 1t is under
stood that they received orders from the
brotherhood this morning notifying
them to quit their cabs at p. M, or as
soon thereafter as they should reach the
end of their run. 1t is supposed the
order was sent out because of Judge
Gresham's decision in the Wabash case.
The railroad authorities have but little
to say.

LonsdaIe's Arctic Trip.

Special TO the Globe.
WINNIPEG, March 15.-Lord Lonsdale
arrived here to-day Ell route to the
Arctic seas in search of bears, birds and
curiosities for Scottish society. Ions
dale is very fond of discussing pugi-
listic questions, being very familiar
with Sullivan, Kilrain and Mitchell.
He thinks Kilrain is by long odds the
finest man of the three, and believes he
could thrash Sullivan without great
effort. Lonsdale asserts that Dreg, a
man in London, Eng, could whip any
pugilist that ever stepped into ring,
and expects that a match will be ar
ranged if it can be fought in private, as
the LOndOner objects to publicity.
Lonsdale says he will go farther north
than any man has ever been before. He
has no idea of how he will get there,
but will make arrangements after reach
ing the far north country. He remains
here for one week before resuming the
journey to the pole.

Surprise at Topeka.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 15.-This after
noon at exactly $50 o'clock, J. F. God
dard, general manager of the Atchison,

Topeka:

LONDON, March 15.-All Paris is agog
again with excitement over Gen. BOu-
LANCER. The action of the war depart
ment in forcibly retiring that officer
from active service is looked on as a
bold stroke of the government, and one
which may result disastrously for it. In
the opinion of many his retirement
affords him chance of entering poll
tics, which was denied him before, and
it is even limited that the general pur-
pOsely committed the acts charged
against him in visiting Paris three
times without permission in order that
he might bring about just such result.
La Cocarde, the new paper and latest
advocate of the popular Boulanger has
already reached an enormous clrcula-
ton, and its reception demonstrates
forcibly that the old enthusiasm with
which the former war minister inspired
the people has not lost any of its force.
THIS PAPER OPENLY DEMANDS
the suppression of the present parlia-
mentary regime, which it insists is ruin
ing the nation and SeiZeS upon every
opportunity to place its idol before the
French mind in the most favorable
light. La COcarde announces the be-
ginning of campaign by sword and by
pen for the diSplacing of the present
government, and opens the battle in full
feather with the most unSparing Ian
guage and unfavorable comments.
Many fear that Paris is on the verge of
crisis which will equal the horrors
and distress of that of 1870.
The Official Journal publishes the de-
cree of the government which deprives
Gen. Boulanger of his command for a
breach of discipline in visiting Paris
without leave. Gen. Boulanger AYERS
that if he went to Paris it was to see his
wife, who was seriously ill. He dis
claims having had any hand in the re-
cent elections, by which he received a
large vote from three districts as dep
uty, and says that he will never ally
himself to the enemies of the republic.

THOSE PINE LANDS.
A Protest Against the Indians
Getting a Whack at Them.

Special to the Globe.
CRooKsToN, Mimi, March 15.-The
following resolutions explain them
selves:
Whereas, at special meeting of the
CroOkstOn chamber OF commerce called
to consider the passages of the bill, III.
r. 1885, for the relief and civilization Of
the Chippewa Indians in the state of
Minnesota, the said bill providing for
the allotment of pine lands as well as
agricultural lands to said Indians; and,
Whereas, the amount of pine timber
on the Red Lake reservation and tribu-
tary to the northwest portions of this
state and Northern Dakota, is in fact
and in truth very limited and has been,
and now u.s., greatly Overestimated,
should the Indians. or most of them,
select pine lands, which we verify be-
lieve they will, as now per-
mitted by said bill, it will re-
uuire, take and exhaust most, if not
all of the valuable pine timber in said
reservation, thereby preventing and
prohibiting the investment of capital
and building of mills, improving water
powers, bOOms and other improvements
now much needed, and leaving the peO-
pie of this portion of Minnesota and
NOTuHtIll lDdhOtd dG tilc HitlCy VI lIO-
nOpoles and railroad eXtOrtiOnS for their
lumber supplies; that it will be to the
best interests of said Indians to select
agricultural lands, inasmuch as they
cannot improve pine lands, they being
worthless except for their timber.
Whereas, The greatest need felt by
the settlers on the vast prairieS of
Northern Minnesota and Dakota is more
and cheaper lumber, the only source
from which such lumber can he OBJ
tanned being on the said Red Lake res
ervatiOn; the speedy opening and util-
iZatiOn of the pine timber OH said reser-
walton is of great interest and import
ance to all OF this section of the country
for the benefit of all present and future
settlers for the building up and inn
proving of the otherwise faireSt portions
of this Union, and for the encourage
ment of manufacturing industries and
general prosperity of the Northwest;
therefore,
Resolved. That this body of men
strenuOusly oppose the passage of said
bill as now provided, it being detri-
mental to the best interests of that pOr-
ton of our country aforesaid.
Resolved, That the senators in con-
greSS from this state, and all others, be,
and they hereby are, earnestly requested
to use all honorable means in their
power to secure the passage of said bill,
provided it is so amended as to restrict
the allotment of lands to the Indians
under said bill to agricultural lands
only; and further,
Resolved, That duly certified copy
of the foregoing preamble and resolu-
tons be Immediately forwarded to each
of our senators in congress, and all
others interested. and that they be re-
spectfuliy urged to secure the passage
OF said bill amended as above recon-
mended.

STARTLING PROSPECTS.
The Great Strike May Extend
Widely To-Day.

ABILENE, Kan, March 15.-No Santa
Fe trains arrived here this evening
from Strong City and none left here for
Salina OF Concordia. A Union Pacific
engineer passing here tonight on a
freight, being informed Of the strike on
the Santa Fee, stated that before morn
ing the engineers on the Union Pacific
would leave their engines.
KANSAS CITY, March l5.-Rumors are
persiStently circulated here tonight
that a strike will begin on the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Gulf system at 10 a.
m. tomorrow, and on the Missouri Pacific
at p. m. tomorrow. The engineers
on both roads diSclaim any knowledge
of any such plan, but the sudden and
surprising turn of affairs on the Santa
Fe this evening strengthens the belief
in the reports. The Journal had private
advices tonight from Pleasant Hill.
this state, to the effect that a Missouri
Pacific engineer was heard to say that
there would be a strike on that road
tomorrow,

MASON CITY, TO-, March 15.-Judge
George Vermilyea, a relative of the

the settlement in which the sad and
mysterious affair of Thursday last trans

about two miles from Fertile, arriving
