JuuEe Cooley Expresses Himself as to Its
Probable Amendment.
PITTSBURGH Pa, Jan. 4.-Judge Cooley,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. was in the city yesterday en-
route to Washington. Speaking of the
proposed amendment to the IaIer-St
law to have one general classifical ION
from ocean to ocean. he said: 'rhe rail-
roads are moving with considerable rapid
ity with regard to classification. They
see that it is for the interest OF ali that
the same system of classification should
be enforced on the different lines. SO
long as they show disposition to Try aud
agree upon claSsifications Co22re>s is not
likely to make it compulsory, but eventu-
ally may do so. The railroads have done
much in that direction within the last
year, particular the Western and South
western roads. 1t is very important
piece of reform hut think that it should
be approached gradually. and that mis-
chief would result if there We're sudden
legislation in regard 10 it,"
When asked about the proposed amend
ment of the law TO permit pooling by the
trunk lines, Judge Cooley said: Il would
rather not express my views fully On thai
question at present as l expect to speak in
regard to it especially within few days.
/ will say, however. that / do not think
pooling proper should be permitted. Pool
ing, from its very nature, so long as rail-
roads are independent, is only device
and somewhat imperfect one TO keep
peace As regards trusts, think that
they should not be permitted except under
strong legal restraints"

New YORK. Jan. General Contreras
will not believe all the reports published
regarding the condition of the North of
Hayti despite their sources. General
Hippolyte," he said, "can not have so
many troops. When General Thamaque
marched to Port au Prince with 10000
men he had almost the entire fighting
population of the North with him. Hayden
soldiers are not faithful without money.
Hence at the expiration of three weeks
half Of Thalmaque's soldiers had
deserted him, carrying with him
their arms, which they sold for
money. Hippolyte, therefore, can not have
fortified St Marc so strongly. We have
captured practically every thing except
Cape Haytien. The cape might possibly
hold out for a year, but certainly not
longer. l think the revolution will be
practically over in a month. Hippolyte
has now possession of but one-sixth of the
Republic, and his territory is being rapid
ly lessened." On the contrary, merchant
who has lived in Hayti says that if it is
true that the forces of Legitime have been
defeated at st. Marc, there will be no diff
ficulty in the greater part of Hippolyte's
army marching in a northeastern direc.

return to Port au Prince an utter impossi.

AUBURN, N. Y, Jan. 6.-At the criminal
insane asylum here last night five men
sprang on the one attendant in charge of
the hail, in which there were forty -four
prisoners, and in their eagerness to secure
his keys tore the clothes from his body.
With the keys they opened the door lead
ing into the yard. Here they encountered
another attendant and another battle took
place the officer breaking his musket in
pieces over their bodies. The insane men
triumphed, but gained the open air only to
be met by third attendant, who fired
into the gang. disabling one of them. This
shot alarmed the other keepers. who, after
a desperate fight, secured the madmen
and returned them to their cells.

Cleveland and proceeded to the Grand
Pacific Hotel. After breakfast he left the
hotel saying that he was going to continue

however, that conference between him
and the grievance committee on the terms
of the agreement with the Burlington

At the time of the settlement the en-
giueers' committee requested, as a matter
of official courtesy to Mr.. Arthur. that the
terms of the agreement be not made pub
lie until it had been laid before the chief
of the order. This request was acceded
to. The agreement, however, it should be
understood. does not depend on any action
by Mr.. Arthur as the committee had full
power to conclude it, and the strike is,
therefore, settled beyond a peradventure.

STRIKE SETTLED.
The Burlington Strike Practically Set.

The BuriiBg ton Strike Practically Set
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Last evening for the
first time the 30" strike was admitted by
both parties to the controversy to be prac-
tically settled, the conference yesterday
between the officers of the road and the
committee OF nine resulting in an amicable
agreement on nearly all of the points at
issue and it is confidently expected that a
complete understanding will be reached
this morning. The only hitch was on one
of the minor demands of the committee,
which the officials did not feel justified in
granting without first consulting Presi-
dent Harkins and the directors of the
company in Boston. They requested
time, therefore, to exchange kilograms
with Boston, and were granted until this
morning.
The Times says: 1T is understood that
by the terms of the agreement the old 20"
engineers will be placed again upon
square footing instead of being blacklisted
by nearly all the roads in the country.
The Burlington itself will set the exarple
by giving the strikers employment n
preference to others when vacancies oc-
cur and by burying completely out of
sight the Ratchet which was dug up ten
months ago"

DUBLIN, Jan. 2.-Archbishop Walsh

sage from the Pope to the Irish people,
in which his Holiness said: "We have al.
ways held in special affection the Cath
olcs of Ireland, who have been long sore-
ly tried by many Affections, and have
ever cherished them with love which is
more intense because of their marvellous
fortitude and their hereditial attachment
to their religion. In the counsels we have
given from time to time, and in our recent
decree, we were not only moved by the
consideration of what is conformable to
the truth, but also by the desire to ad.
vance your interests. Our affection for
you will not suffer us to allow the cause
for which Ireland is struggling to be
weakened by the introduction of any
thing of reproach which could be brought
fairly against it. In order TO specially
manifest our affection we send you a
number of gifts which are specially
blessed.o

fields and rich mineral deposits of the
sunny Southland if the conditions were

Escape.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. "A Chicago embezzles,
who packed himself and 10000 in a trunk
and was then sent by express to St Louis
was captured in Tais city last night. His
name is Thomas Vines and he is the clerk
in the employ of the Adams & Westlake
Company who disappeared Saturday night
with the wages of 100 men. Vines con.
fesses that he took the money, and with
the aid of a confederate, whom he refused
to name, he rented a room near the factory
and made preparations for flight. He
blackened up as negro and secreting the
money in old stockings threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom Of one Of
the biggest trunks that his accomplice
could purchase. Monday when he thought
the vigilance of the police was somewhat
relaxed under belief that he was already
out of the city Vines confederate sent an
expressman to their room and Vines, in
his negro disguise, helped the expressman
load the trunk on the wagon. Five holes
to give air for breathing had been bored
by the embezzler in the back of the trunk
near the lid where the openings would not
be noticed. On the way to the depot Vines
told the expressman that he intended to
trunk, being too poor to pay the regular
fare. The expressman thought it risky,
but did not interfere when Vines opened
the trunk, jumped in and snapped the lid
shut with a spring lock. The trunk was
put into the baggage room by the express.
man. The check for the trunk was in the
possession of Vines accomplice. Vines
and the trunk went on board the train and
the embezzler and his $4,000 were treated
as common baggage for a distance
of over 100 miles That was as long as
the embezzler could stand it. The air was
sitting and he had been tumbled over and
over until he was sore in every joint. On
making an outcry he was released by the
baggageman. They did not put him of
the train, but sympathizing with his plea
of poverty, allowed him to travel the re.
mainder of the journey in a passenger
car. The trunk was carelessly closed by
the trainmen, and its contents left undis.
turbed. At st. Louis the trunk could not
be obtained by Vines without the check
and his confederate did not put in an APP
pearance. Considerable pity was ex.
pressed by the depot men for Vines and q
small collection was taken up to buy him
a dinner and supper. His strange story
reached the ears of the police and aroused
their suspicious. Vines description had
been received from the Chicago authori.
ties, and a reading of it resulted in the
dispatch of an officer to arrest the fugi.
tives. Vines was taken into custody while
begging the baggagemaster to disregard
