CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 5.-Chief Engi-
neeT p NJ. Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Engineers arrived here this morning from
Cleveland. After breakfast he LETT the
hotel saying he was going to continue his
journey westward. It is assumed, how
ever, that the conference between him
and the grievance committee on the
terms of the agreement with the Burling-
ton road reached last night is now in pro-
gress. At the time of the settlement the
engineers committee requested, as a
matter OF official courtesy to Mr.. Arthur,
that the terms of the
agreement be not made pub
lie till 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 Of Mr. Arthur, as the COM
mittee had full power to conclude it, and
the strike is therefore settled. The terms
viii not be made known till Mr.. Arthur
has notified Mr.. Stone of the Burlington
Railway that he has received q copy OF
the agreement.
LATER Chief Arthur was closeted
with members Of the conference commit
tee and the terms of the settlement were
