CONFERENCE CLOSED.
Transactions Between Santa Fe OFF,
cials and o. r. T. Committee Ends.

Transactions between the general Of
ficials of the Santa F'e and the griev-
ance committee Of the o. r. T. were
closed up this morning. The members
of the grievance committee will proba-
bly, leave for their homes this after
noon.
The list of stations on every division
of the Santa Fe road proper was gone
over and increases and reductions made
according to whether the work had in
creased or diminished in the past seven
years. The new schedule will be print
ed at once.
The. officials made one general conces-
sion to the operators. This was in ref
erence to the care of switch lights at
stations. They agreed to pay opera
tors a minimum salary of So per month
for caring for four lights or less. For
the care of each additional light opera
tors will receive the sum of so cents.
The grievance committee asked that
operators be excepted from hospital as
sociation dues on the ground that only
operators at the larger points derived
any great benefit from the hospital as
sociation. The officials refused to grant
the request stating that it would be
discrimination in favor of the operators
against other classes of employees.

VOLUNTEERS TO STAY.
In the Philippines as Long as There is
Any Fighting to Do.

Chicago, March 2S.-A special dispatch
to the Record from Washington says:
Adjutant General Corbin says that
nothing has occurred in the history of
the country to endear the volunteer
troops to the regular organization as
has their conduct at Manila during the
present movement on MaloloS- Not only
have they shown excellent discipline,
but they have eagerly sought duty on
the firing line and have never faltered
to advance on the order. There has
been no shirking in their regiments and
no complaints when called upon to bear
the brunt of an assault. Their record
from the moment they embarked to the
present has been excellent and the re-
ports received at the war department,
Gen. Corbin says, indicate that any at
tempt to bring them home for muster
out before the campaign is completed
would excite a riot. They desire to re-
main as long as there is any fighting
to be done, and the department, in rec
ognition of their excellent services, will
not order them home until the military
problem in the Philippines is solved, or
the volunteers formally request to be re-
lieVed.
Surgeon General Sternberg says the
medical department in the Philippines
is ready and prepared for any emer-
gency which may arise. The hospital
ship Relief, which left New York sew
eral weeks ago laden with supplies, is
about half way to Manila, and her ar
rival is, expected at that port about
April Is. She carries an abundance of
medical supplies of every description
and has many medical officers, hospital
stewards, privates and nurses aboard.
The officers in charge at Manila have
plenty of funds to make any necessary
purchases and have full authority and
discretion in every particular. Hospi-
tails have been constructed at Manila
and vicinity in anticipation of trouble
with the insurgents, and every conceiv
able preparation for the reception of the
wounded has been made. The surgeons
from the American warships in the har-
Dor have come ashore and are cooper
ating with the medical officers of the
army in the treatment of the wounded.
Surgeon General Sternberg has re-
ceived a very interesting report from
Col Lppincott, the chief surgeon at
Manila, showing the accommodations at
hand and the preparations which have
been made. A conValeScent hospital has
been established on Corregidor island,
al the entrance of Manila bay, some
thirty miles west of the city. A steamer
makes daily trips to the island. 1t is
too early to say what benefit the hospi-
tai will be to the command, but it will
be of considerable, considering the re-
freshing sea air, the less excessive heat
and the absence of the unhealthy sur
roundings of Manila.

STANLEY WILL RETURN.
Expected to Reach Topeka Tonight
or Tomorrow Morning.

Governor Stanley and wife and Mrs.
H. ]. Allen, wife of the governors s
private secretary, are expected to ar
rive in Topeka tonight or tomorrow
from their trip to Port Arthur, Texas.
The governor went to make the trip
to Port Arthur, returning to Kansas
City today, with Vice President E. L.
Martin of the Pittsburg & Gulf railroad,
in a private car which was a part of
special train.
The governor was to make a speech
a the opening of the Port Arthur ship
canal but it was very brief. Two rea-
sons were responsible for this. The
first was that the governor with party
of visitors in a steam tug while making
a trip down Sabine Pass got stuck in
the mud and sat out in the sun for four
hours. This made them late to the pier
where the services were being conducted
and then the governor of Texas fought
the war over 50 long that Mr.. Stanley
had little time left.
