An UnexpIored Country.

There are few regions more difficult
to travel over than unsettled portions
of the Puget sound basin, the timber

dense. Places less than ten miles
apart are often separated as complete
ly as if several hundred miles of open
country lay between them. In fact
little is generally known concerning
the country outside of the govern

gram to the BEE. Governor Larrabee to-
day addressed the following letter to Presi-
dent Perkins:
DEs MONIES, March 10.-To Mr.. G.. e. Per
kins, President, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroads DEAR SIR-F'requent COM
plants have of late been made to me concern
ing the interruption of freight and passenger
transportation caused by the strike of the
engineers and fremen on your road, as well
as the danger arising from the employment
of incompetent substitutes for such employees.
The Inconvenience and disappointment which
the present state of affairs causes to the
travelling public, and the loss which COM
merce in divers ways sustains, are such that
further delay in the adjustment of the differ
ences existing between the management of
the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy road and
its striking employees would be a manifest in
Justice to the state. In the territory con-
trolled by your road traffic is deranged and
travel is inconvenienced to such an extent as
to demand speedy solving of the difficulty
1 therefore appeal to you in behalf of
the people of the state of Iowa to make
standing with the strikers. 1t appears to me
that even self-interest should dictate such a
course to you, and especially as your COM
pany can be held responsible for damages
caused by failure to furnish reasonable facil-
tiles for the transaction of the business on
your line Of road. Allow me to suggest that
unless you soon succeed IN some way to. Sc
cure settlement of the controversy, you
submit the case for arbitration. ~
Very respectfully

Totally Incompetent.

Dies MONIES, Ia, March l0.-[ Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. 1.-The railroad commits
sioners to-day reported to the governor the
result of their investigation of the charge
that the Burlington road was employing in
competent engineers in place Of the strikers.
After giving the correspondence that led to
the inquiry, they review the testimony they
took, citing a number Of cases of men now
serving as engineers who say that they do
not consider themselves as first-class passen-
ger engineers. They then sum up their con-
clusions as follows MIR. Brown, superin-
tendent of the Iowa lines, admits that under
the conditions Of ali his enginemen leaving on
twelve hours notice, he was compelled to run
passenger trains with new aud inexperienced
men, II may be regarded as proven beyond
question and admitted that the inen above
designated We're inexperienced under the
general rules laid down by the rail-
road companies for the running
of trains and tried by their own
standard, the commissioners do not hesitate
10 say that they are incompetent. The last
question for determination is, does their run
ming passenger trains endanger the safety Of
the travelling publici These men have been

employed from nine months TO three or moro
years as flremen. They all know the usual
workings of locomotive under ordinary cir
cumstances, that is, when Il Is in good order;

iector, apply the air brakes lin some in
stances not skillfully). The order issued by
Mr.. Brown, dated March 1, marked exhibit
''B. )" which he testified (page 1907 was given
verbally on February 81, required az first
class conductor TO ride ON the engine, to be
equally responsible with the engineer for the
safety OF the train as far as the train rules
and telegraph orders arc concerned" He
testifies further, same page, that machnests
from different shops were selected first

disaster occurred, could take an engine 70

the assistance in their power The extra
conductor, or pilot, on the engine being an
experienced man, we think should insure the
safety of the trains so far as running 1t in
accordance with train rules and telegraph or
ders can insure it, and in this particular the
train would be as safe as if solely in charge
of an experienced engineer. The machinist
who accompanied every train would, we
think be able to remedy any brake-down or
failure OF the machinery to work, as well as
n skillful engineer, so that the danger to the
travelling public would be confined to the
three qualifications before stated, experience,
Judgment and cooness in an emergency,
We think we are safe in assuming that
in these particulars the new men running
these trains cannot be equal 10 those who
had been previously selected from the oldest
and most competent engineers to run passen-
ger trains. The commissioners believe that
the examinations that have been heretofore
made and tests that have been applied to
determine whether engineers are competent
to run locomotives, are dictated by prudence,
and to neglect them is unwise. They would
advise the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
company to allow no engineer to run pas
senger train who is not fully up TO
their established standard of skill
and ability. The law governing
the carrier of passengers says
he "must use extraordinary care and caution,
the highest skill, the greatest foresight and
the best appliances" The "highest degree
of care, skill and diligence of which human
effort is capable.n The 'dilligence must be
extraordinary and liability follows slight neg
ligence." 1t not being in issue, the commits
sioners have not thought 1T within the scope
of this investigation TO discuss the merits of
the differences that led to the engineers and
fremen leaving the service of the Chicago,

mo, not exactly" he replied, "but L
want to see a thumper."
He was directed to the right place,
and after looking the establishment
over he said to the proprietor:
81 live out here about fourteen miles.
I've got hired man who has got so
sassy that can hardly live with him.
He's too big TO lick with gad, and I've
got to cuff him up to peak, / want to
take lesson with the gloves, and when
] go home III astonish John Henry with
bit of science"
One of the boxers about the place
said he'd give lesson, for dollar, and
the old man peeled down to his under
shirt and put on the gloves. He was
shown how to pose and how to hold his
guard, and then warned to look out for
himself.
"You play yon are John Henry, the
hired man, he said.
"All right"
"You've been foeling your time away
and I've called you lazy coyote"
Exactly
"You have sassed me back, and / GO
for you like this-and this!p
And the old man struck right and left
and followed the boxer around the ring.
He was doing noble work when some
thing shot over his guard and hit his
chin, and he went over like log and
laid there until they threw water on
him. Then he sat up, looked about in
a dazed way, and feebly inquired:
"What was it?"
"John Henry hit you"
she did, eh? Then that settles it.
Here's your dollar, young man, and
here's the gloves. II I'm liable to get
such lick as that I'm going home to
tell the hired man he can boss the whole

All Quiet at Lincoln.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 10.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. E.!-The quiet of the past
week in strike matters continued to-day.
There were no new developments in the
movement of trains and nothing but the Gus
tomary meeting of the brotherhood at their
hall. A carload of whisky and car of corn
that has been refused by the Union Pacific as
b. & NJ freight were moved out yesterday
over the road. Some Of the Lincoln lumber
men, who have yards on the Burlington
tracks, hntt receive their freight over other
rpsds, have had consignments arrive here.
The engineers refuse to switch the cars onto
the Burlington track, and consequently the
lumbermen are unloading and hauling
to the yards by wagon. 1t Is under
stood that the roads make rebate
to cover this extra cost, and when they make
it they speak of the Burlington in no COM
plimentary terms for its stubborness. In
this regard well-known travelling passenger
agent who is in this city, shed some light on
the feelings that other roads entertain to-
ward the Burlington. The gentleman in dis
cussing the question SAID that the manage
ment of other roads were disgusted with the
Burlington management and its action with
its engineers. He speke of General Manager
Stone in no complimentary terms, and tho
warfare he was waging. He expressed it as
his opinion that the Burlington system had
not now ana could not get 1oO competent
men to take the place of the 1,2O0 who quit
work, and was of the opinion that no road
could long stand the ruinOus and parsimoni-
Gus policy now attempted by the Burlington.
Tomorrow being Sunday the brotherhood
has accepted an invitation to attend Bishop
SINNERS Temperance church in the after
noon and they will proceed in body to the
hall.
"We are certain of winning in the con-
test" said Chairman Sanborn to-day and
every man in the hall echoed the sentiment
with q cheer.
