The burlington strike.

10y ttittitNn 70 inc DlsphEnsI
CHICAGO, March l2.-The strike of
the Brotherhood engineers and fire
men on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road was more monotonous
than ever here to-day, and neither side has
any information to impart concerning it.
Everybody seems to be waiting for
the result of the application which is
being argued before Judge Gresham
before making another move, and IT is
conceded on all sides that the decision,
whatever it may be, will have
an important bearing on the issue of
the strike. In the mean time the Griev-
ance committees of the eastern roads are
arriving in the city to-day to confer on
the question OF what should be the action
of the Brotherhood on the roads repre-
sented bv them in case the officials of
these roads should continue TO receive
and deliver Burlington freight. But it
is not expected they will take any
definite action until Judge Gresham 5
decision is announced. RumOrs are
current that the sWitchmen and brake
men on the Burlington system are
taking q band in the fight. but they are
of the yaguCst kind, and can be traced to
no authoritative sources. The Grievance
Committee OF engineers and firemen on
the Fort Wayne road arrived IN the city
at $3.50 this morning. Pittsburgh, To-
ledo Crestline, and Fort Wayne are re-
presented in the committee. Some OF
the switchmen on the Fort Wayne road
said that in case the engineers and fire
men strike they will not work behind
green engineers.
Chief Arthur said TO an Associated
Press representative shortly before mid
night that the Wabash men were greatly
excited, but for his part he would rather
rot see them take q radical position.
The Wabash would handle but little
Burlington freight in any event. and the
TACT that the road was 10 the hands OF a
receiver, Who Is an officer OF the Federal
Court. complicated matters 90 such an
extent that there wss danger that
the brotherhood might become involved
in a false issue. Any action taken by
the Wabash men, SAID Mr.. Arthur, could
not at all bee considered a precedent by
other roads. Mr. Arthur was just re-
turning from tine theatre, whittier he had
gone with his son, vino arrived yester-
day from Cleveland The Chiefs alb
seuce from headquarters during the eve
ming gave rise to "a umor that he was in
consultation with Pr sident Perkins
and that settlement WAS in sight. Mr..
Arthur denied the report explicitly.

Serious Danger OF Sn UprisiuE Owing
To LACK OF FOOD.

WIySIpEG. MAN, March 12.-For
some weeks alarming reports have been
received here from the West that the
Indians were very restless owing to the
neglect of the Government in furnishing
supplies, and that there was serious
danger of m uprising unless food was at
once forwarded The mounted police
claim to be prepared 10 put down any
revolt but at the same time admit there
will be trouble unless immediate relief
is given. The Half Breeds at Batouche
are IN constant communication with
Gabriel Dumont, who Is now in
New York. and IN recent let
ter he is understood TO have
advised them to secure food by pillage
rather than to submit 10 slow starvation.
His people had half crop OF barley
this wear, hut they were obliged to burn
it and eat it The only thing his people
had not tTied TO eat as yet is earth and
mud. Chief Alexis said ratiOns had been
issued three times during the winter.
The first time was about November lst
He then received sack OF flour
for his family OF thirteen. After
New Years he got another half
sack, and about the middle Of
February they got five pounds OF flour
apiece. They had received some blank
cts. but no serge. &" | claim that in kill
ing the cattle" he SAID, Il did no
wrong, because it was to save us from
starvation" Heretofore the Dominion
Government has paid no heed to similar
complaints until the war-cry was heard
in every hamlet in the Northwest Terri
tory, and the settlers are therefore con-
sidersbly alarmed.
