SIX LIVES LOST.
A Party of Lumbermen Carried Over a
Waterfall in Manitoba.


WINNIPEG, Man., July 19.-Nine men
from the camp of the Eau Claire Lum-
Der Company took boat forty-fve
miles west of Calgary, on the Bow River,
and began descending the series Of
rapids. They came to a portage, and
carrying the boat half mile, attempted
to cross the Kananskis Rapids. The
point was not considered dangerous. 1t
is only a short distance above a
chute of five or SIX feet in height
When the boat got within three feet of
the shore the hands attempted to stop
her by throwing line around stump
on the bank. They failed, the boat be-
came unmanageable and swung around
in the current, acquiring such a mo-
mentum that before anything could be
done she shot over the falls like an ar
row. The men were absolutely help
less and unable to gain the shore, for
the boat fairly spun in the water
as if she were a top. She kept
in the center of the rapids until near
the third fall Then one of the men
jumped out of her and attempted 10
reach the shore. The boat shot over
the third fall and landed upon a
Jagged rock. Two Of the men managed
to grasp the smashed boat, anu the
other six were swept under by the rush
of waters and were never seen again.
The wrecked ooat, with the two men
clinging to it, was picked up four miles
further down the river. The man who
jumped rom the boat before she went
over the third fall reached the shore in
exhausted condition.

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.
The Long Burlington Strike at Last De-
clarod Off,


clared Off.
A conference lasting all the afternoon
was held at the Office of the Burlington
& Quincy Railroad at Chicago on the
9Th, at which the company was repre-
scented by President Perkins, Vice
President Beaslev, General Manager
Stone, Writ Dexter and J. w. Blythe.
The other side was represented by
Chief P. M. Arthur, of the locomotive
engineers; Chief F. P. Sargent, of the
firemen, and Alexander Sullivan,
their counsel. The arrival of Messrs.
Arthur and Sargent in Chicago had been
kept a well-guarded secret and
neither registered at any hotel
until the conference was over. Hoge
and Murphy were also present. The
officials OF the two brotherhoods at once
assured the railroad men that they had
no sympathy with dynamite nor law
lessness in any form. The entire inter-
view was courteous and cordial through
out and naturally led to a general talk
concerning the strike and the situation
as it effected the public and the PARTIES
to the struggle. All agreed that it
would be we'll if the strike could be
ended. President Perkins, when seen,
said:
Yes, there has been a conference.
Mr.. Arthur, Mr. Sullivan and Alexander
Sullivan, their counsel, came to say that
they did not countenance violence and
have no sympathy with dynamiters.
Messrs. Hege and Murphy were present
at portion of the conference. We had
much talk over the situation, and all
agreed, that the strike ought to be de-
clared OF. Nothing was definitely set
tied, however, although it is hoped that
some good may come of it"
The meeting was brought about for
the purpose of securing mutual conses-
sions whereby the 80" strike would be
practically terminated and the men per-
mitted to 60 to work. The result of the
conference, it is learned, was an agree
ment on the part of the road to take
back the Brotherhood men as fast as OPP
portunity afforded The men, it is said,
will work by special permission under a
suspension of the working rules of
the order. There appears to have
been a mutual anxiety to reach such an
understanding. The Brotherhood were
particularly anxious to come to terms in
order to avoid the suspicion that they
are by standing out encouraging the
dynamiters. The railroad officials were
willing to come to such terms in order
to relieve the line from the suspicion of
being dangerous to travel over. The
details of the arrangement are to be de-
cided on at a future meeting.

Steam On Canals.

An experiment, which is looked upon
as a success, was recently made on the
Shropshire Union Canal, at Worleston,
by the officials of the London & North

How many cars and how much freight
