NOT SETTLED.
The Strike on the Butte, Anaconda
e Pacific Road
Especial to The Herald.)

(SDGclal
Butte. Mont, Feb. S.-The strike or
ganized on the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific railroad last night, on account
of the yardmaster being discharged
for being impudent to Superintendent
McCabe, has not yet been settled, and
it is stated this evening that there is
a grave likelihood it will result in the
suspension of work at the Anaconda
mines, smelter, mills and coal mines,
which would throw about 5000 men
out of work.
The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific hauls
shelters and mines. When the trains
stop running, the mines will have to
shut down.
No trains were running today, and
the ore and supplies on hand will not
keep the properties in operation more
than "a hours longer. The strikers
will not be taken back and new men
will not take their places through
fear of violence although a number
of deputy sheriffs have been sworn in
for their protection. 1t is also claimed
that a shutdown of the mines would
not be disagreeable to the owners of
the property. The strikers have not
the sympathy of labor unions.
Later.-At a late hour tonight the
company succeeded. in filling all the
places of the strikers, and trains are
moving regularly again, though tho
yards are guarded by deputy sheriffs.
None of the strikers will be taken
back, and the company says the strike
will not be extended as it is roundly
denounced by the Miners union, and
the danger of a general shutdown is
about past.

the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy con-
templates any such purchase, nor does
the Chicago & Northwestern expect TO

The terms of the syndicate subscrip-
tions formed for the reorganization OF

time ago for reorganization expenses,
payment of coupons, etc., are 10 get

second subscription, made up of S4.OOO,-

chased or on deposit they had not Sc

HARMoN'S ARGUMENT.
Acknowledgement Appears Before
the Committee.


washington, Feb 3-Attorney- Cen
eral Harmon appeared today before the
house committee on Pacific railways
and expressed at some length his views
with reference to the bill to settle the
Indebtedness of the Pacific railways
to the government by commission
consisting of three cabinet officers.
Speaking generally, he favored the
proposition. He would give the COM
mdttee full authority to act according
to their best judgment, and would not
bind them to the acceptance of a GER
tain minimum sum, for beyond that
sum thew would not be likely to re-
ceive bids. On the other hand, the fix
ing of a minimum sum might handicap
them because of their failure to re-
move so large an amount He depre-
Gated the suggestion of a commission
of private citizens, as the personnel of
such a commission could not be known
in advance to congress, or the consid-
erations which had led to their selec-
ton. Moreover, outsiders would de-
mand pay for their services, while the
members of the cabinet would dis
charge this duty without remuneration,
and merely as an addition to their
daily routine. The country would be
better satisfied with a, cabinet commits
sion. Moreover, the cabinet officers
were a part of the government and
had access, through their subordinates,
to all matters in the possession OF the
government
