delegation that he had every reason to hope
that the strike will be settled Monday. The
governor has also decided to issue procla-
nation asking for contributions to help out
the starving people in Spring Valley.
Governor Fifer's only doubt about gen-
eral settlement being effected is with regard
to w. L. Scott's employees. In case the en-
ployes of the other operators should come to
terms and Scott's men be forced to remain
out, proclamation for their special benefit
will be issued. 1t is believed possible that
Mr.. Wheeler may be in a position to offer, on
behalf of the railroads, such reduction in
the rates as will enable the operators to
accede to the mems demands.

THE CHICAGO ANNEXATIONs.
A Suit Brought Which Will Test
Their legality,

CHICAGO, August 3l.-Proceedings tending
to test the legality of the recent election by
which the surrounding suburbs were an
nexed to Chicago were had in the circuit
court to-day. Treasurer True, of the an
nexed town of Lake View had begun suit to
compel the county treasurer to turn over to
him, as treasurer of Lake View, the taxes
collected in that end of New Chicago, on the
theory that the recent annexation was un-
constitutional. Arguments were heard to-
day on that point, and the court decided
against Mr.. True. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court of the state and will come
up before that tribunal in October. In case
the annexation is declared unconstitutional
the decision will apply to all the other sub
urbs recently annexed.

FREMONT, Neb., August 31.-[Special Tel
egram to THE BEE. AT 2:15 this morning a
disastrous wreck occurred at the crossing Of
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
and Union Pacific roads six miles west Of
Fremont. A freight train of forty cars
coming east over the Elkhorn road was run
into by an east-bound freight on the Union
Pacific as the former was crossing
the track Of the latter. Fourteen cars
were derailed, nine belonging to tho Union
Pacific and five to the Elkhorn. There were
two cars of hogs on the Elkhorn which were
wrecked and about one hundred were killed.
They were shipped from Geneva and were
billed to South Omaha. Two men were

THE GREAT srREAToR STRIKE.
A Fair Prospect That 1t Will Soon
Be Settled.

he SettIeu.
CHICAGO, August 31.-fSpecial Telegram
TO THE BEE. There is at least fair pros
pect of the great Streator strike being set
tied Governor Fifer, who has been deeply
interested in the struggle between the miners
and their employers, and who has peen much
impressed with the accounts of the suffer-
ings of the unfortunate strikers in the
Spring Valley district, has resolved TO take
hand in the matter and, If possible, to
bring the unfortunate dispute to peaceful
and satisfactory termination. This
morning long conference was
held between Governor Fifer
and committee representing the strikers.
preliminary meeting had been held last
night at which Senator q. B. Farweli was
present and expressed his readiness to
do everything in his power to bring about a
settlement. He was not present at the con-
ference this morning, but his views were
represented by Railroad Commissioner
Wheeler who also took part IN the delibera-
tions. The meeting was held in Governor
Fifer's room and was not open to the press.
The governor opened the proceedings by
citing that he had thoroughly investigated
the statements as to the sufferings of the
strikers in the coal districts and he
had made up his mind to take
some active steps to bring the
wretched state of affairs that existed there
10 an end. He also said that he was of the
opinion that the men were not sufficiently
paid for their labor, and he believed If they
were not immoderate. in their demands a
satisfactory settlement to all parties might
be effected
Mr.. Cowdrey and MIR. Detiviter both
pointed out that the mems demands at
present were exceedingly reasonable. They
said that the miners only asked to be paid at
a rate that made it possible for thvn, by
great diligence and hard work, to earn 81
q day.
Governor Fifer thought an able bodied
man ought to be able TO earn at least 81 a
day in this country and he didn't consider
such demand unreasonable. He thought
that If the miners and operators could be got
together again something might be done TO
settle matters.
After long discussion Mr.. Wheeler rose
and said that he desired to repeat now what
he said when the conference broke up two
weeks ago, that he had suggestion to mako
which he believed would bring about u salts
factory settlement. All he wanted was the
proper opportunity TO offer that suggestion.
Some more talk followed this remark and
finally it was decided that the miners call a
general meeting for 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing at Joliet, which the owners will be in
vted TO attend. Governor Fifer promised to
send Mr.. Wheeler down as his representa-
tive to the meeting where Mr., Wheeler, in
the governors name, will make his propo-
sition, Tho governor is SO i'm
pressed with the reasonableness of
Mr. Wheeler's proposition that he told the

Kidder, Peabody 81 Co IS Preference
For Marvel Explained.
CHICAGO, August 31.-[Special Telegram
to The BEE.l-It is said this evening by q
Chicago railroad man that the explanation
has finally been given why Kidder, Peabody
& Co. preferred MIR. Marvel to Mr.. Strong
as president of the Atchison. 1t is known
that Barring Brothers, of. London, were
largely instrumental in floating Atchi-
son bonds and they had no
difficulty in placing them. The Atchison has
never vet defaulted on the interest of It's
bonds, but it has not paid the interest with
its earnings. Barring Bros. have stood in the
breach and made good the deficiency no
matter how large the amount. This was a
heavy drag on the London firm of bankers.
Having almost or quite exhausted the
amount originally obtained for float
ing the tonds, in this exigency
they began looking about for Moses who
would lead the Atchison out of the wilder
ness. A coolness had already sprung up be-
tween Kidder. Peabody s. Co. and President
Strong, and as this banking firm is prac-
tically the American representation of Bar
ing Brothers, the report on the fitness of
President Strong was naturally lukewarm
or hostile. Barring Brothers also hoated a
large block of Manitoba bonds, and
in doing it were much inn
pressed with the fitness of General
Manager Marvel. This impression Presi-
dent Hall was not slow to foster, as he hon
estly believed Mr.. Marvel was one of the
most capable executive officers in the rail-
road business. After many consultations
with Kidder, Peabody s. Co. it was decided
to send representatives to Chicago and get
an unprejudiced opinion of Mr.. Manveps fit
ness. The investigation was complete and
created gossip at the time, none of which
however, credited Mr., Marvel with a chance
for such position as president of the Atchi-
son. President Strong resigned while this
investigation was going on, probably being
the only man who guessed its intent, but his
resignation was not accepted. AS soon as
the report was made, however, Barring
Brothers concluded to make the change, and
President Strong's resignation was accepted.
