OMAHA, Feb. 80.


We have to-day a passenger train moving each
way on the main line and branches east of Red
Cloud and Hastings. At McCook crews at
tempted to move trains east and west yesterday but
were dragged off the engines and the lines west
tied up Arrests will be made to-day and trains
started if possible.
The officers of the q. B. and Q. state that
applications for positions as engineers and
fremen are coming in constantly from all
over the country, but as the company does
not accept anybody except after rigid exam
ination es to competency the process of hir-
ing is slow and consequently they do not ex-
pect the road to be in running order again for
at least ten days. About fifty men have SO
far been selected. No effort whatever was
made by the company to move freight to-
day, nor was any freight received at the
freight house. There were about two hun
bred and fifty engineers and firemen present
at the meeting of the brotherhood to day.
The engineers seem to look with favor upon
the arrival of President Perkins, and although
nothing definite has been said, it is limited
that the difficulties will come to an early ter
mination. They have, it appears, some en-
enlargement from somewhere, but nothing
further can be learned.

PLENTY OFF FIR MEN

But Few Engineers Apply for work
ON the Burlington-OnlY Few
Trains Running Yesterday and the
Road EGectualIY Tied Up.
CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-Everything and every
body looked exceedingly dull at the Burling-
ton depot this morning. In the passenger
department the clerks were selling tickets
as usual, but as they sent the buyers off by
other roads, the business could not have
been very profitable one for them. Down
on the platform few people were standing
about watching couple of engines, manned
by four men each, as they shunted few
cars about The large hallway in the center
of the general Offices of the company was
crowded with men seeking employment in
the capacity of engineers and hremen. The
majority were fremen-more of this calling
applying than the company know very well
what to do with. When the fremen were
weeded out it was found that no more than
two dozen of the hundred men in attendance
were engineers. Only two of the old engin-
GERS are reported to have come back to
the company although the officials claim that
many of the men would like to. Only three
suburban trains each way in addition to the
fast mail and a Council Bluffs train which
got off at noon were run to-day. The broth
erhood engineers refused to move the fast
mail, SO the company had to put new men on
it, but it is reported as running practically
on time. The following dispatch was received
to day from the general manager of the Bur-
lington and Missouri road:

CaIamities of Stanley's Expedition

Calamltl6S OF StdnleyS ExpeoltiOT.
LONDON, June GA dispatch from
st. Paul, Deloando, dated yesterday,
says several deserters from Stanley's
expedition have reached Camp YAM
bunga. They state that after travers-
ing the upper Arumum, Stanley
struck into a rough mountainous
country covered with dense forests.
The natives, who were excited by the
reports spread by the Arabs, disputed
the passage of the expedition, and
there was continuous fighting. Stan
ley was severely wounded by an ar
row. He was compelled several times
to construct camps, in order to repel
the attacks, and was obliged to use
the reserve provisions that were in
tended for Emin Bey. The SOudanez
attached to the force had all died, or
disappeared. The deserters estimate
that the caravan lost one third of
its med, and they say many of
those remaining were i'll, including
the Europeans. Stanley was en-
camped when the deserters left. He
was surrounded by hostiles, and was
unable to send news to Emin, or
directly to Yambunga. Major Bartel-
lot has returned to Yambunga, where
he was awaiting the men that Mr..
Ward was collecting, to form power
full expedition to 60 to the relief of
Stanley.

gress of the Ballotting.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The Tribune
says scheme is on foot among Blaine's

Blaine.
The Inter Ocean says that New York
is receding from Sherman, and that
Gresham and Harrison stock is adj
vancing.

narrowing down to Blaine and Sher-
man, with chances favorable to Blaine
and Foraker for vice president.
