SERIOUS PROPORTIONS.

hut Fail to Reach nn AEreement-A
Threat OF Trouble.
SPRINGFIELD, o., July 27.-The situa.
tion in the Big Four switchmen's strike
has assumed serious proportions GEN
eral Superintendent Peck arrived last
night and men to supply the places of
the strikers have been coming all day.
About fifty are here accompanied by
fifteen special officers appointed by
Gov. Campbell yesterday.
Mr.. Peck met the committee in the
forenoon, but failed to reach an adjust
ment as the company refused TO accede
TO the demand for raise of wages to
the Cincinnati scale. At noon the com
pany posted notices in the yards de-
claring the strikers discharged and de-
string them TO call at the Office and get
their money.
The discharged men declare that be-
fore their families shall suffer they will
create trouble. Many of the new ar
rivals are foremen of other yards, and
1t is claimed by the strikers that their
going to work will precipitate general
strike in yards all along the line. Mr..
Peck insists that the Big Four is paying
higher wages than any competing line
in the cities II touches.

into the harbor OF Araca about p. m.
There was heavy fog and objects at n

cerned with any distinctness The steam
launch had left the Pensacola on her
regular evening trip 20 the shore and
was making her way slowly back, when
suddenly those on the man-of-war saw
the little boat lifted completely out Of
the water. There was a dull echo OF 4
half smothered explosion and then
wreckage was scattered In every direc-
ton. Not a sound of human voice was
heard. The quiet that followed told
plainly that the five men aboard the
launch had either been killed outright
or so manned as 10 be unable TO make
their condition known.
The Chilian cruiser had mistaken the
launch for an insurgent boat and had
used torpedo with deadly effect
There was intense excitement aboard
both vessels When the situation OF af-
fairs became known on the Condell, her
commander dipped his colors andsent his
chief officer aboard the Pensacola. II
then became known that the explosion
OF the torpedo was a stupid blunder on
the part OF the cruiser. Such apologies
as could be offered were made, but the
feeling among the comrades OF the dead
sailors was very bitter. The bodies
were not recovered.

approved by the stockholders at their

The allegation that the contract was

the contrary the court held that the
company had the legal right 10 rent
any portion Of its property which was
not exclusively used 10y H. Justice
Brewer holds that a court OF equity

The opinion. which is elaborate. says
the allegation that the value of the
property being $4,000, 900 the rental Of
500. 600 Is not adequate, is not well
founded The Union Pacific II says, Is
not deprived Of its rights, neither Is II
oustcd from possession Of its property.
The rental is considered adequate mas
much as the rental was for only por-
ton Of the tracks and did not debar the
Union Pacific from using its own tracks
This is n victory for Omaha, as II has
been for years trying TO get the Rock
Island and Milwaukee Il St Paul into

result The decree will be entered
next Wednesday. The Union Pacific
gave notice of an appeal and asked that
a supcrscdeas bond be fixed. The Rock
Island will combat this, and Il is the
general opinion that the court will re-
fuse and require the performance OF
the contract.
Judge Dundy dissented, holding that
the contract was binding for 900 years
on the Union Pacific but for only two
years on the Rock Island; that the
Union Pacific agreed TO lease n depot in
Omaha 10 which IL had no title and that
the Omaha & Republican Valley road
had not signed 1t. Judge Brewer dis
posed OF the latter finding by saying
/ the Union Pacific owned all the Repub-

WASHINGTON, July 2G.-Cablegrams
received at the state department bring
the important official information that
the czar has temporarily relaxed the
Jewish expulsion measures. They
also bring the intelligence that he has
done this in compliment TO the United
States.
While the relaxation is described
as temporary and intended as
respite until he could consult his
IL will lead to n permanent mod.
ifcation OF the expulsion. The matter
has been very delicately managed in
its diplomatic bearings The action Of
the czar in eXpelling Jews was n mat
ter of purely domestic concern, with
which no country had anything TO do.
A diplomatic remonstrance would have
been resented but means were found
for putting the matter before the czar.
President Harrison interested him
self personally. Some time ago dele
cation, headed by Jesse Seligman and
Oscar Straus, ex-ministcr to Turkey,
waited on the president and he assured
them that his best efforts would be
used to soften the rigors Of the Russian
Jews Minister Smith succeeded in
bringing the subject TO the czar's atten-
ton in presenting personal message
from President Harrison. After the
minister's departure renewed repre-
sentations were made by Consul-Gen-
eral Crawford He has represented the
United States in Russia and is great
favorite with the Russians. His tact in
the present measure is the cause Of the
willingness of the czar to suspend the
anti-Jewish policy of the empire.

FARM NOTES.

Breeding and raising draft horses is
profitable.
Quality is more important than.size
in draft horses.
After the harvest work Is finished up
Is good time to do any necessary tile
draining on the farm.
Plan to clean the seed grain. There
Is no possible advantage in sowing foul
seed of any kind, and considering the
cost the better plan is to clean thor
oughly.
Sell the grain clean You can better
afford in a majority of cases to run the
wheat, oats or flax through the tanning
mill than 70 take n less price for them
taken 10 market
The farmer who raises large crops
will in the main become successful; and
he who aims at excellence will gain n
higher position and better rewards
than he who is satisfied with medi-
ocrity.
Sow turnips and rutabagas the last
OF this month. Sow good patch; they
are one of the cheapest crops that can
be grown, as little or no cultivation is
needed, and they occupy the ground
only short time.
The lands where early potatoes have
been grown will bear excellent turnips,
because they are generally in good
tilth, and the digging Of the tubers pre-
pares the soil well enough by giving il
an extra handling.
The farmer who has the good judg-
ment to know what most needs to be
done each day and the capacity TO SO
arrange and order his work that he can
do everything ut just the right time.
has qualities which will go far towards
helping him achieve success
Barnyards are bad leaks in farm man.
agement Thousands of cords OF ma
nure are wasted in them, from constant
exposure TO sun, wind and rain. And
yet most farmers endure them just as
though there were no remedy. Manure
is needed on most farms more than
anything else, and yet nothing is wasted
with more readiness.
The successful farmer uses the best
seeds or plants and does not reap chess
or cookie from a clean soil. lie keeps
the best blooded animals adapted TO his
wants and keeps them well. His ani-
mails are sheltered from inclement
weather, he knowing that warm sta
bling is cheaper than an extra amount
OF feed to produce animal heat.
Every body is now complaining of
lice troubling the poultry. And how
are we to get rid of them? Use moth
ing on the little chicks but lard and
put this sparingly on the head A very
little may be put under the wings, but
1t must be remembered that If you add
sulphur you will kill your chicks;
sulphur and insect powder may be used
10 advantage on the older ones, and
busted in the nest is q help also.
