A Possibility of Returning Peace.

CRIPPLE CREEK. Col, May 27.-There
is possibility that the mining troubles
in this district may end shortly. Hos
tilitieS have ceased for the time being,
and steps toward arbitration were
taken this morning. A delegation of
Colorado Springs citizens came t. Grip
pie Creek and Immediately proceeded
to Altman, under the Victor mine, and
the fort on Bull Hill. and there met the
miners and stated their errand. The
committee made point of asserting that
they came entirely on their OWN reSpon-
sibility in the interests of peace. and
also referred to the fact that arbitra-
tion would mean the couccding of some
thing to the mine owners. After the
conference with the leaders inside the
building DR.. Slocum. Rev. Mr.. CARING
ton and President Collais addressed the
crowd of miners on the outside. stating
practically what they had asserted in
the conference The committee then
left and returned to Cripple Creek.
President CalderwoOd has called a
meeting of the miners union. To he
held at Altman tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock. and it Is expected that at
this meeting committee will be ap-
pointed to again try to arbitrate the
differences with the mine owners. The
deputies have gone back from Wilbur
toward Florence awaiting for reinforce
ments. and the miners have been quiet,
guarding their strongholds and attend
ing the Altman meeting.

THE GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.
The Tie-Up of the Road Is Being Grad
uaiIy Extended.

The Tie-Up of the Road Is being Grad
uaiIy Extended.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April ls.--Brief
dispatches from all important points
along the Great Northern railway sys-
tenn are to the effect that no trains
are running on that line between
Crookston, Mimi, and Seattle, Wash.
The strikers gained little ground
Monday morning. They hung up the
train arriving at 5:25 a. nj. at
Fargo, thus suspending traffic between
Fargo and Grand Forks. The Great
Northern is now making up its trains
for the east at Crookston, MINI. All
branches of the line are therefore tied
up except the St Paul, the Breckin-
ridge, the Barnesville and the St Cloud
& Fergus Falls.
1t was developed that there is big
row on between the American Railway
union and the various railway brother
hoods. The strike was ordered by the
American union and is being actively
antagonized by the railroad employees
brotherhoods more than by the railroad
company itself There can be no doubt
that the individuals of the various
brotherhoods are privately somewhat
dissatisfied but they recently accepted
| the revised schedules and are standing
| by their agreement with the company.
At the general offices of the COM
| pany there was an indisposition to talk.
| President Hill was in conference with
| President Samuel Hill of the Montana
| Central, and it is stated that they
have instructed Superintendent Bryan
| to confer with the strikers at Dakota
and Montana points. A large number
of brotherhood engineers and firemen
along the line are willing to resume
| work, but the American union men re-
fuse to man their trains. The brother
hood men who are out from sympathy
with the strikers have been informed
by their chiefs that they are violating
their oaths, and that if they continue
to remain out they will be expelled
from the brotherhood.
The strike leaders have been careful
to avoid interfering with mail cars or
cars carrying mail, claiming thereby to
have avoided danger of clashing with
government officials; but a Great
Northern official said that in the big
90" strike the courts had decided that
the whole train was included in the
term mail train, and the Great
Northern believed itself clear of obli-
cations to move single mail car
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 1s.-Arrange-
ments for the coal miners strike have
been nearly completed. 1t is pretty
certain that some of the operators at
least are now preparing to con-
tinue operations with new men
the moment their present en-
ployes lay down their picks. They
claim that about half of the
800, 900 miners in the country are out of
work and have been idle most of the
winter because they could find no en-
ployment. They are consequently poor
and anxious to go to work at any price.
1t is therefore claimed that the opera
tors will have no trouble in getting
men to take the strikers places.

DEATH OF SENATOR VANCE.

Expires Suddenly at His Residence In
washington-sketch of His Life.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Zeb-
ulon Il. Vance, of North Carolina, died
at 11:40 o'clock Saturday night at his
residence in this city. Paralysis and
complication of diseases resulted in
stroke of apoplexy while he was
supposed to be in fair way to
recover He had been in Florida dur
ing the winter, seeking health, but
came back to Washington to take part
in the tariff legisla tion.
[Zebulon b. Vance was born in Buncombe
county, N c., May 10, 1880. He received his
education at Washington college and at the
University of North Carolina He chose the
law as his profession and early drifted into
politics In 1854 he was elected a member of
the North Carolina legislature and in 1858 he
was chosen TO represent his district in con-
gress. Although opposed TO secession when
the wardrobe out he continued to represent his
North Carolina constituency by taking his
place at the head OF q company of confederate
volunteers. Soon he was appointed colonel of

AS early as December, 1853, Gov Vance urged
President Davis to take advantage of every op-
portunity to negotiate with the United States
government. At that .ire Vance realized the
hopelessness Of the cause he was supporting.
When the national troops occupied North Caro-
lima Gov Vance was arrested and held q pris-

Upon the election of Thomas L. Clingman,

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Many Obstacles Reported in the Way OF
Business Improvement
New YORK, April l6.-R. G. Dun 4

New YORK, April l6,-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS week y review of trade says:
Business improvement meets many OBJ
stacles and is scarcely as distinct as it has been
IN recent weeks Strikes have checked the
improvement in building and some other trades
and scarcity of coke has caused the closing Of
some iron works. while strike OF all bitumin-
Gus coal miners is ordered and may prove
serious. More favorable crop reports than
were expected, which justify larger hope for
next fall, have arrested the upward tendency
in prices of products. The renewal of gold ex.
ports occasions much disquietude, but the
gradual exhaustion of goods in the hands OF
dealers makes the consumption of the people
more distincly felt ana apparently larger, and
this demand increases with the gain In the
number OF hands ut work.
sit cannot be said that the uncertainty as to
the future has materially diminished, but there
is evidently growing impression that
there will be no important legislation on
the currency or the tariff. This impress.
sion, whether erroneous or not, influences
the action of many. On the whole, though
progress is still obstructed by uncertain
ties, it has not been arrested. The most
cheering sign is the decrease in Importance OF
commercial failures, for though one mortgage
loan concern has failed with liabilities of s5 500
U00 the liabilities in all commercial failures for
the first week of April were only 81, l90,SJ6, OF
which $500 567 were of manufacturing and 81,
