THE STRIKE TROUBLE
As 1t Affects the Union Pacific
Anicably Settled.
POWDERLY'S REPLY To WEBB.
He Attempts the Style of Junius, but Makes a
Sorry Failure His Arrangement
Of the Vice-President.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. % Special telegram
to THE HERALD. MIR. George w. Vroo
man, chairman of the grievance committee
of the Union Pacific, returned to Grand
Island this morning He stated as he was
about to leave that his visit here had not
been caused by the New York Central
strike, but had been for the purpose of con-
sulting Mr.. Middleton, superintendent of
motive power on the Union Pacific, in re-
gard to small difference between the com
pany and one or two engineers on the Ore
gon-Short Line. The matter was adjusted
satisfactorily.
Mr. Vrooman also said that in the event
Of the New York Central strike becoming
general, Involving the engineers, he did
not think it would reach west Of Chicago
He was of the opinion that the matter
would be settled without further trouble,
but admitted that the engineers would be
compelled to strike if the Central persisted
in filing in places of the striking firemen
and engineers. 1t was reported, he said,
that the engineers who were acting as fire
men were brotherhood men, and If they
were they would be summarily dealt with.
Speaking of the report that Chief
Arthur would not reply to Pow
derly's open letter, Mr.. Vrooman
said the probable policy4of the engineers
would be to ''keep hands Off and let the
knights of Labor deal with the matter.
The meetings of the local branches OF the
engineers, firemen and switchmen had been
merely for the purpose of taking steps tc
assist their brotherhood in the east in {
financial way. AS a parting shot Mr.
Vrooman stated that the local brotherhood:
would render all the support, both mora
and financial, which might be necessary.

QUITE A SENSATION
Is Caused in Butte by the Arrest
of Charles Warfield
ON THE CHARGE OF HoLDING-UP
The Helena Butte Stage in I884-"God Bless
the Toads" is the Prayer of the People
of Gamas Prairi.

BUTTE. Mont, Aug. 23.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Quite sensation
was caused this evening by the arrest of
Charles Warfeld, an old timer in Butte, on
the charge of holding up the Helena-Butte
stage coach in the fall of 1884. At O'Clock
this afternoon Warheld was standing on the
steps of the Crystal gambling saloon, at the
corner of Main and Park streets, when
United States Marshal William +. Furay
stepped up to him and said as this your
name, Charles Warfield.n EYES," was the
reply. Then consider yourself under ar
restn Warlield offered no resistance, and
was escorted TO the county jail. On the
way he asked the cause of his arrest, and
the marshal Informed him that he would be
informed as TO that later on.
The history of the event for which War
field was arrested is as follows; One Gay.
the latter part of November, 1854, the
Helena-Butte coach was making its regular
trip from this city to Helena. When the
stage reached narrow canon, about half
way between Boulder and Jefferson
City, it was held UP by a masked man
whose supposed object was 70 rescue par
ties under arrest on the coach. Upon the
stage were the following well known per
sons: Judge Deems, S. Valid, Mason Bull
lard Thomas II. Carter, Colonel Johnson,
w. E. Cullen and E w. Toole. All were
compelled to dismount and walk up the hill
with their hands in the air The party was
relieved of valuables, but the haul was a
small one, and the stage was allowed to
proceed. Five minutes after the robbery
w. d. Cameron, at Jnat time sheriff OF
Meagher county, came into the canon, and
came upon the robbers unexpectedly. A
fight ensued and eight shots were fired
Cameron sustained a severe wound in the
abdomen, from which he afterwards recoy
cred He has been in Butte for some days
past and undoubtedly furnished the clue
on which Marshal Furay has been working
AS before stated, the arrest has caused {
decided sensation here and constitutes the
sole topic of conversation this evening
Wan field is well connected, his relatives
being among the best possible in Butte
society He is about forty-tive years o
age and has wife and daughter living il
Butte. For the past six years h'
has been living in this city or vicinity, en-
gagged in prospecting. He declines to tall
about the matter at all further than to sa,
that he was not concerned in the robbery
His reputation is not good, and he has beer
in trouble before. 1t is stated that he i
wanted in Alturas county, Idaho, for
murder committed many years ago. Mar
shall Furay says he has perfectly clea
case, and that Warfeld will be convicte
without any doubt.

In The House.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-In the House to-
day O'Neil of Pennsylvania, asked unani-
nous consent for the consideration of the
Senate resolution for the removal of the
remains of General Grant to Arlington.
Quinn. of New York, objected.
Mckinley, from the committee on rules,
reported, and the House adopted, a resolu
ton setting apart Thursday and Saturday
of next week for consideration of the Dill
constituting eight hours days work, and
relative to alien contract labor. Tarsney of
Missouri. rising to question OF privilege,
sent to the clerks desk and had read let
ter in the National Tribune denying that he
had been wounded at Gettysburg, or had
ever been in Andersonville. He also had
read series of resolutions adopted at a
meeting of eX prisoners of the war aSsocl-
alton at Cleveland, Ohio, denouncing him
as villitier and reiterating the statement
that he had not been wounded at Gettys-
burg. He said he wished to deny the state
ments contained in the letter and resolu-
ton. He had been stricken at Gettysburg
and taken prisoner the I'd of July, 1868. He
remained prisoner until the 2lst of No
vember, 1864 He produced copies of the
official records of the war department in
support of his statement.
The House then resumed consideration
of the lard bill. After considerable dis
close the debate in opposition to the bill
The gentleman from Iowa (Conger) had
praised an agricultural paper edited by
Wedderburn. He could understand why
the gentleman was so Interested. Here
exhibiting copy of the paper was the
gentleman's picture. Nine-tenths of that
paper was devoted to that picture and to
arguments in favor of the bill. He made
no charge against Wedderburn. He him

resolution offered yesterday. He would at
the proper time offer resolution asking
for an investigation as to what Influences
controlled the postmaster general
in withholding evidence. The gentleman
from Iowa and his friends had stopped the
information from coming to the House. In
the course of q conversation the gentleman
had so admitted.
Conger Indignantly denied the correct
ness of this statement, and Mason as
warmly reiterated it. For q few minutes
the gentlemen contradicted each other with
greater bluntless than politeness, much tC
the amusement of the House
On motion of Mason an amendment was
adopted striking from the bill the clause
preventing the use of casks a second time
Also an amendment allowing the use of the
brands of ''lard compound" or compound

| Hayes, of Iowa, moved to amend by strik
ing out all after the first section defining
lard, and inserting the provision of The
Paddock bill.
Brosius raised the point of order agains
the amendment on the ground that 1t wa
not germane.. The speaker sustained thu
point of order.
Mason appealed from the decision. Tn
decision of the chair was sustained by tn
House. The question then required OF
ordering the bill engrossed and read thir,

of The bill the vote stood Ill to 46, no quo

God Bless the Toads."

BELLEVUE, Ida. Aug. 23.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. l-"God bless the
toads,'' is the blessing invoked by the
grasshopper region Of Camas Prairie.
This section is the largest farming region
in Logan county. 1t has been peculiarly
unfortunate for the past two seasons be-
cause of the damage done by the ravenous
grasshoppers. Even last winter the hum
BILE settlers had to appeal for aid to the
outside world and no one responded more
literally to the call for help than the good
people of Salt Lake and Ogden.
This season the grasshoppers came again
and yesterday the deliverance came in a
shower of toads that extended from the
town of Soldier to High Prairie, a distance
of twenty miles or more. An ominous
looking cloud. suggestive of cyclone, ap-
peared in the west and preceded by high
wind, ended in giving such a down
pouring of rain as was never before
known in Camas. With the unusually
heavy rain came, also rain of toads. No
estimate to the bushels of toads to the acre
can be relied upon. 1t is enough for the
grasshopper sufferers to know that the
plague of hoppers from the face of the
earth. The peculiar shower is the talk of
the country round about, not only because
of its remarkable feature, but because it
saves the crop of oats that was approach
ing the harvest. The wheat crop had al
ready been seriously damaged by the hop
pers. There is another remarkable feature.
Last week Prof. Bruner, of the. university,
and corps of chronological experts, Wis
tied the prairie and gathered three or four
bushels of the pests, promptly submitting
them to a narrowing microscopical exami-
nation on the spot.
The gentlemen who are eminent in their
chronological examinations, at once dis
covered that the pests were suffering from
disease which would eventually rid the
country Of them unless some healthy speci
men. who had strayed away before the
disease appeared should return withoan-
other swarm, the disease being somewhat
Enthusiastically in it's work of death anC
destruction to the pests. The learned gen
tlemen wrote an extensive report to tn,
general government asking that the agri
cultural department take the matter il
hand and acclimatize a fungus which inoc
uiates the pest with disease which is sur,
death to the last of them. This fungoit
growth spreads radidly, but where an i'm
mediate effect is desired over large ex
tent of country it proves too slow to offse
this. The gentlemen referred TO recon-
mend that specimens of the fungus b
planted on every section of land at least
and at the public expense. If this shorl
be done the grasshoppers would neve
trouble the prairie again, but the phenom
inal shower of toads has solved the prob
lem. The people of the prairie are nov
rendering thanksgiving to the toads wher
they were before praying for fungi.

THE ROYAL MEETING
OF the Car and Emperor Will
lam May Lead to
ANOTHER EUROPEAN CONGRESS.
Official Circles in Vienna Regard the Change
in the Position of Affairs With
Intense Distrust.

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-[Copyright, 1890, by
the New York Associated Press. To
nights news from Peterhof conveys the
distinct impression that the imperial meet
ings held have had a highly satisfactory re-
suit for Emperor William. The officials of
the foreign Office here maintain absolute
reticence regarding the nature of the Ger
man Emperor's proposals, but admit there
was immense political significance in the
interview. Adyices from various reliable
sources will confirm the announcement that
Emperor William desires that another
European congress be held with prelimi.
nary cessation of further ornaments.
Whatever the nature of the inducements
offered the Gar, it is certain he has met the
Emperor's Overtures favorably.
Since DeGiers' first conference with
Chancellor Won Caprivi communications
have been passing between the authorities
here and at Vienna with view TO expedi-
ting meeting of Emperors William and
Frances Joseph. Austrian official circles
regard the impending change in the posi-
ton of affairs with intense distrust. Hence
the semi official press of Vienna throws
doubt en- the probability of holding another
| European congress, and profess credulity
as TO the Emperor's presence at Peterhof
! causing any great pol1tlcal transition. AT
the same time there comes from Vienna
the news that Emperor William
has asked the Emperor of Austria for a
conference within a fortnight, preparatory
to the projected reception of the Car in
Berlin in October. The Munich Neltstc
Ndchrichten states that the Car and En-
perors William and Francis Joseph will not
meet OH Austrian soil before definitely
agreeing to the holding of a congress.

will start for Kronstadt on board the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern. His majesty
proceeds to Loetzen where he will witness
an attack upon the fertilization there. He
will arrive at Potsdam Friday. His new
departure as regards his foreign policy
though only vaguely known, has aroused
some of the old Bismarckian press.

received by the government from New
Westminster. B. c., against the allowing
ing or granting of permission to Captain
Whitelaw, an American fisherman, to hunt

the privilege should not be handed over to
an American. 1t is said the government
