BURLINGTON sWlTCAMEN STRIKE.
But It Has Nothing To Do With the
 Alleced ConspiraCY.

KANSAS CITY, July 1l.-Yesterday morn ing all the switchmen of the Burlington rail road quit work. The cause of the strike was the cutting down of the number of men in the train crews. The grievance of the switchmen consists in the laying off of six men, three day and three night hands It was the intention of the company to distrib- ute the work formerly done by these six men among the balance of the switchmen.
 The men claim there was an agreement be- tween them and the company that the force shoul not be reduced until the strike of the Brotherhood engineers was settled. The reason for this was because new engineers were not so liable to be careful and experi- enced, and there existed more danger to life and limb In view of this, the switchmen claim, they agreed to stand by the company during the engineers strike.
 The company officials deny that they have broken any agreement, and say that they do not propose to be dictated to by their en- DlOyeS

The Iron Lockout May Lead to Some--
 thing More Than Talk.
 PIrTsBURG, July 11.-The effort of Singer, Nimi;k x Co.,, steel manufacturers, to run their extensive works with non-union men is assuming rather serious phase. The Knights of Labor and the Amalgamated association have joined hands in the attempt to prevent the success of the move, and they gathered about the works and attempted to induce the men who were going to work to join them. They so far succeeded that it was found necessary to close down the works almost entirely.
 In the afternoon the proprietors applied to the department of safety for a force of policemen to protect their employees. They say they will give their men ample protec- tion if it should require policeman for every employe.
 The Knight and Amalgamated men deny that they have any intention of creating a disturbance, but they have certainly pre- vented q number of men from working

DUCATs FOR DEFICIENCIES.
The House Reaches an Agreement as
to the Limit of the Debate.


WASHINGTON, July 3o-The house to-day
went into committee of the whole, with
Mr.. Springer of illinois in the chair, on the
deficiency appropriation bill. After much
controversy, an arrangement was arrived at,
under which the general debate on the bill
with the exception of the French spoliatiOn
clnims section, was limited to one hour.
The bill will then be considered by para
graphs until the excepted section is reached,
when nine hours general debate will be
allowed
Mr.. Stone of Missouri completed the
speech he began Saturday, and he contend
ed that the republican party was respon-
slble for the granting of vast areas of the
public domain to corporations, and that for
the restoration of millions of acres to the
people the democratic party deserved the
credit
READ BY PARAGRAPHS
The bill was then read by paragraphs for
amendments A long discussion arose over
an amendment offered by Mr.. Bacon of
New York, appropriating So, 1000 for the
completion of the monument at Newburgh,
n. Y. The discussion was confined to the
admissibility of the amendment, which
was finally ruled out on point of order.
Mr.. Kerr of Iowa, in offering a formal
amendment, spoke of the obligation upon
the general government to care for eX-
soldiers He said that if the President had
recommended some favorable legislation to
the attention of the house, Judging by the
effect of his efforts in certain other matters,
his views would have prevailed and the
country might be relieved of the great
danger of large surplus in the treasury.
DEFENDING THE ADMINISTRATION.
Mr.. Burnes of Missouri maintained that
the government had cared for its soldiers
with generosity unparalleled in the history of
nations, while the present administration
had done more for soldiers and their
widows and orphans than any other ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Sayers of Texas offered an amend
ment to pay the official reporters 81, 900
each for the extra labor imposed upon
them this session. He presented a state
ment showing that the sessions work had
already exceeded previous records by 3, 800
columns of matter in the Record.
Mr.. Reed of Maine supported the amend
ment and said that it must be apparent to
the house that there was pressing necessity
for increasing the number of the steno-
graphic corps.
SAVERS SCORES A SUCCESS.
Mr.. Hooker of Mississippi sought to
amend the amendment so as to provide for
the payment of sum equal to 10 per cent
of their salaries to the clerical force of the
house in addition to their regular compen-
sation, but his motion was ruled out on
point of order. and Mr. Sayers' amend
ment was agreed to.
The committee then rose, leaving the ap-
preparation bill pending.
Upon request of Mr.. Mills, the hour of
meeting of the house was changed from IL
a. IN. to II o'clock.
Mr. Mills also sought to have Tuesday,
Aug Z, assigned to the committee on labor,
but Mr.. Rogers of Arkansas objected, be-
cause the committee would not except the
convict labor bill from the list of measures
to be acted upon.
The house then adjourned.

Sunday evening with the latest news con-
corning the Indian troubles. The Caroline
arrived at the entrance Of the Skeena
Thursday, July 10. They inquired first as
to the condition of affairs at Hazeton,
which is 100 miles from the mouth of the
river, and distant ten days by canoe. The
river is a torrent incosed by lonely canyons.
A trader named Markins, who had ar

that the reports about the Hudson bay
company's agent and others were totally
unfounded. ........,.

With the exception of tho missionary at
Hazleton all the white residents had entered

of the Hudson bay company. The Indians
were still threatening and greatly excited
over the killing of Kit Won (Coot

proceeded to Hazleton.
Two more Indians had been killed. caused

A letter from Constable Wishburn Of

an account of the killing of these two men.
ARRIVAL or THE SUPERINTENDENT.
The day after the arrival of the Caroline

Guilty in securing crew of six Indians,
Supt, Roycecroft and twelve special con.
stables started up the river for Hazleton.
The trip will take nine or ten days up, and
ms soon as the facts are ascertained messen-
gers will be forwarded to the commandaut
for horses and battery. If trouble occurs,
battery will at once start up the river.
If everything is amicably arranged it will
return TO Victoria. Tho battery is camped
at Fort EasingtOn, at the mouth of the
river, in good spirits and pleasantly Sit
uated.
PEACE WITHOUT BLooDsHFD.
The opinion is general that the matter
will he quietly settled It is ascertained
that the fact of a war vessel being in the
river, and the presence of the battery there,
will have a salutary effect in dererring the
Indians from further outrages. Many
Hazloton Indians were at the fish canneries.
They were amazed beyond measure at the
size of the Caroline aud her guns Fort
EasinRton is nearly 800 miles from Victoria,
and there is no telegraphic communication
nearer than Nanaimo. Nanalmo is ninety

in hearing from the expedition.
