They were all killed by wolves. Over 100
wolves have been killed on his ranch since
January. Mr. Campbell endcavored 10 get
rid of the pests by poisoning them but met
with little success.
He has now hit upon novel scheme for ex-
terminating every wolf in western Texas 1t
Is by the innoculation of disease among them
In order to do this he trapped ten vol YES
about two months ago and penncd them up
with dog which was badly afflicted with the
mango. The wolves soon caught the disease
and are now thoroughly covered with the
parasites which produce it. They will be
turned loose on the ranch In few days, and
Mr.. Campbell expects the disease to spread
among the wolves so rapidly that there will
not be one of them left in Texas In two years.
IL Mr.. Campbel's experiment is success 1t
will be worth thousands of dollars 10 the

UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
Thousands of Mnchinists at various

In the employ OF the Union Pacific struck al
noon on the 18th. AT Portland and Pocatello
Mt Ogden and Cheyenne, at Omaha, Arm
strong and all the Missouri River towns, at
points In Kansas and Nebraska, and as far
south Fort Worth, on the Gulf lines of the
system, the strike is on. At Denver the men
did not strike as most OF the men are Knights
of Labor and they declined to support the
other organizations that ordered the strike.
At Omaha 500 men walked out.
The employees claim that the company has
acted in bad faith concerning the fulillment
OF an agreement entered into TO allow the
force of men employed to reduce itself when
the time was below the standard of nine
hours day. 1t is ella lined that the company
instead of allowing the force OF men employed
to reduce Itself, naturally has kept up the
full quota OF men and, in some shops. Omaha
included, has increased the force, The COM
pany not only increased the force, but re-
duced the standard OF time from nine hours
to eight hours for working day, January 10
OF this year. The employees claim to have a
written agreement, signed by General Man
ager Dickinson and Assistant Superintendent
Merizhcimer, that while ten men are working
eight hours, 1t Is understood that places OF

except when absolutely necessary in order to

A Now Coalinx station.

There Is excellent authority for stating tn at
the United States government has concluded
treaty with the government OF Ecuador by
which the United States Is given the right to
acquire coaling station in the Galapagos
Islands, position Of vantage in the Pacific
ocean and so situated as to be OF vast import
ancc TO naval vessels This concession is the
result of negotiations that have been carried
on for some time between Mr.. Rowland b.
Maloney, the United States minister of Ecua-
dor, and the Ecuadorian Department Of For
eIgn Affairs. The treaty, IL is said, was
signed some time last month and Immediately
forwarded 10 Washington. 1t Is believed it
Is now in possession OF the Senate awaiting
ratification.
1t is probable that the recent trouble with
Chill was factor In influencing the selection
OF the islands, situated rs they are on the
west coast and within three or four days
of any Gillian port. The United States has
already acquired rights to maintain coaling
stations at Pago Pago and Pearl river and it
has complied with all conditions and is now
maintaining station at Honolulu.
