guese securities until Portugal makes
reparations.

Portuguese government in cancelling The
concession it had granted for the building
OF the railroad at Delagoa bay, has Gre
ated much comment. The "Globe,' to-
day, says Portugal is guilty of an unwar.

THE ENGINEERS WIN.

Result of the Arbitration Between the
Union Pacific and Employees.
OMAHA, June 26.-The board OF arbitra-
tration agreed upon between the Union
Pacific engineers and firemen and the road,
to-day, rendered q decision in favor Of the
engineers. They hold that the taking d
the Kansas Central out of the manage
ment Of the Union Pacific did not abrogate
the agreement under which the engineers
and firemen were being paid at that time.
The arbiters in their decision says:
The executive officers of tie Union
Pacific recognized the brotherhood
of the Union Pacific in fixing a schedule
of wages of the Oregon r. & N. Co., which
was, and is, a pant OF the Union Pacific
Co., taking effect March 1, 1889, and they
should have recognized them and collected
them before charging wages on the Leaven-
worth division, which is a part OF the
Union Pacific system"
Manager Baldwin says the decision is
final, and wages will be restored and
would date back to May Is, the time Of
the reduction.

Still On His Trail.

A gentleman who arrived from George
town yesterday morning stated that Perry,
the Silver Lake murderer, was still at
large, but that his capture, dead or alive,
was certain. When he left Georgetown it
was learned that two deputy sheriffs and
about fifty citizens had Perry corralled in
a bunch OF timber. and that with him
were two horse-thieves. It is generally
conceded that some one will be killed be-
fore any arrests are made, for Perry has
given it out that he will not be taken alive.
A day or two ago Perry held up couple
of men whom he met on the road, and at
the muzzle OF his pistol compelled them to
give him quantity OF provisions which
they had with them. Since then he has
not approached any one near enough to
speak to them.

Railroad Employees Armed-A Probable
Beward for the Murderers.
HELENA, Mont, June 27.-The latest
from the Indian troubles is the following
from Missoula, this afternoon: 1t is now
thought the murderers cannot be cap
tured by force, as the mountain side af.
fords numberless hiding places, and STRAIT
egy will have to be used.
The best proposition now seems to be
to offer. reward, and thus enlist the bali
breeds on the reservation in bringing the
men to the officers.
The last advices from Duncan are to the
effect that the railroad company employees
are all armed. Superintendent Dickinson
and Governor White agreed upon plan to
protect railroad property and employees.
THE MINER fears that its special CORE
spondent at the scene of the impending hos
tilities has been scalped. It has not had a
line from him since late hour Wednesday
night. The Montana Press Association at
Missoula is urged to investigate the matter
and report early.l

REORGANIZING THE NAVY.
Secretary Tracy Endeavoring to Establish
System in the Department.

Secretary Tracy Endeavoring to Establish
System in the Department.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-By a sweeping
general order issued to-day Secretary Tracy
directed the entire reorganization of the
business methods OF the navy department..
Up to this time the new equipments and
new duties constantly arising from the con-
dition OF change incident to the replace
ment of the old wooden vessels with new
ships and modern guns, have been assigned
here and there to the several bureaus of
the department., often with no better reason
than the convenience OF the moment. The
result has been confusion and aggravation,
and the defects of the bureau system, the
duties of which have no connection, have
been placed together, and those naturally
associated have been diverted.
Secretary Whitney realized the evils OF
the system and made an effort to change
them, but was obliged from the magnitude
of the task and the paramount Importance
of concentrating his energies upon the pro-
curement of new ships and guns to abandon
the task. Secretary Tracy, however, now
says the time is ripe for further change
and has accordingly issued new orders.

DENVER, Colo, June 27.-Geo. L. Rhodes,
assistant general passenger agent OF the
Rock Island, was in the city, to-day, inves-
tigating the charges made by the Alton
that the Rock Island had in offices in Dem
yer 400 Chicago scalpers' tickets.
Mr.. Rhodes made personal visit to
scalpers and found that their stock OF
tickets on all lines was very low, only a
few being held. He followed up his investi-
CATION by offering a premium OF 700
per cent for all tickets over the
Rock Island found in the hards OF scalpers
in excess OF six, the number be discovered.
He further asserts that he believes the
statement of the Alton is only bluff, and
that no cut will be made. Scalpers deny
that there are any Rock Island tickets in
the market, and they say the stock they
were enabled to lay in months ago has been
exhausted. It is learned that the Atoms
contemplated move was known here week
ago but held back for effect.
