REPORT OF TRUCE coNF1RMED.

Berlin, May 4.--The National Zeitung
publishes today q despatch from Apia
dated April 80, which says:
'nThe orders from London and Wash
ington to suspend hostilities have
brought hack tranquility and peace. In
compliance with the demand of the Ger
man consul, Matasfa has gone back a
long distance westward into the interior,
so that there will be no danger Of any
collision with his trooIs. We Germans
are naturally satisfied that our patience
and impartiality have finally triumphed.
Washington. May 4.-The following
cablegram has just been received at the
navy department. from Admiral Kautz:
Apia, April 27, via Auckland, May 4.
All quiet at Ap!a. Mataafa and his
chief y agreed to keep outside
lines prescribed by British senior officer
present and to and to
peace until commission there
will not be more fighting.
The cablegram was mutilated in trans
mission over the cables and in the process
of resolving the cipher. Its meaning is
plain to the naval officials as confirming
the pres report that o truce had been
agreed upon.

SAMOAN EVENTS.
There Has Been Much Fighting Since
Last News.

Auckland, N. H., May 4.-Advices re-
ceived here from Apia, Samoa, to April
"a, state that the rebel loss by the she'll
ing of the Mataafa stronghold at Wilma
by the warships Of Great Britain and
the United States was quite heavy. Many
of the rebels we're wounded. The house
In which the late Robert Louis Stevenson
lived was riddied with shot.
The New Zealand government steamer
Tutamekai arrived at Apia with despatch
es announcing the request of the inter-
national peace commissioners that the
inhabitants peacefully await their arrival
from San Francisco.
Admiral Kautz and Capt Stuart of the
British cruiser Tauranga wrote to Ma
taafa ordering him to withdraw his forces
outside Of line ten miles long and six
broad.
Mataafa replied defiantly refusing to
withdraw unless the German consul and
the captain of the German cruiser Fake
agreed.
Admiral Kautz and Capt Stuart there
upon sent an ultimatum to Mataafa
threatening to compel the withdrawal of
his forces.
In support of this ultimatum plan Of
action was decided upon.
King Tanu visited Admiral Kautz and
Capt. Stuart on board the American and
English ships respectively and was re-
oeived with the customary salutes on his
arrival and departure.
1t Is doubtful If British or American
subjects will give much evidence tefore
the international commission owing to
fear that to express themselves candid
ly would interfere with trade relations.
For this reason the evidence before the
commission is likely to be one-sided.
The rebels admit that the result Of the
battle atIViallima waslthe greatest reverse
they ever experienced.

assurances from the Turkish government
that IL will pay the claims OF American
missionaries for property destroyed dur
ing the Armenian troubles some years
ago. Several months ago Mr.. Straus sue
ceeded in inducing the Porte to open me-
aotiations on the subject, but SO far as
state department advioes show. it would
be erroneous to state that the Porte
agreed to pay these claims though having
undertaken to consider them and having
recognized the basis of the claim for cofn-
pensation, there Is every expectation that
thess claims will be ad justed. ff

gregation to the new pastor his fam

the South Butte Presbyterian church,
who made some racy and appropriate re-
marks, followed by a speech from DR..
GroeneVeld of the First Presbyterian

work in other fields of labor and of his
coming to Butte. The doctor. in his usual
genial and helpful n commended

Grievance Committee Met With
a Cold Reception.
ORDERED BACK TO WORK
Did Not Obtain an Audience With the
President--Will Try Again
a Little Later.

1t seems that the grievance committee
Of the Order of Railway Conductors,
sent to st. Paul recently to lay the con-
ductors' troubles before President Hill,
met with a cool reception. Mr.. Hill re-
fused to give the committee Il hearing,
and the members were finally ordered to
return to their work or they would be
taken out of the service. The committee
consisted of +. +. Richardson. chairman,
Great Falls; r.. II. Lands. secretary.
Melrose; w. II. McGraW. Grand Forks;
j. r. Carruthers. St. Paul.: A. d. Smith.
Havre. and l.. w. Bowen. Spokane. There
was also a committee from the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, consisting of
c. S. Hutchins. chairman, Willmar; c.
d. Simpson, secretary. Great Falls: w.
Richer, Melrose; j. +. Walseth. Grand
Forks; John Nugent. Breckenridge: NJ.
Fl. Davis, Havre, and J. II. Bridgeman.
~Leavenworth. Wash.
During their three weeks stay in st.
Pau the committees acted jointly. their
grievances beeing in ommor The chief
grievance bears on the wages paid con-
ductors and train men for their work at
terminal points. 1t is said to involve. in
the aggregate. thousands of dollars.
Under the present arrangement, the men
lose the time consumed in the switching
of trains at initial points. On assuming
charge of a train. if switching is required
before leaving the point where they start.
they are not remunerated for the time
consumed in switching.
In speaking of the object of the COM
mittee's trip to ST. Paul, the Spokane
Spokesman-Iteview says:
"Another grievance is the proposed
frightening of divisions on the road. BY
such a change, employees would be re-
CURED to work extra time, and it is
claimed, the force would be reduced ma
terially.
The use of double-headers also gives
cause for a grievance. Each double
header saves the cost of one train crew,
except the fireman and engineer required
for the second engine. The trainmen and
conductors are required to assume charge
Of two or three times as many cars as
usual, making their work, it is claimed,
more onerous and placing upon them
greater responsibility. also increasing the
perils of their service.
compliant is also made against the
system Of "bonding'' which prevails on
the Great Northern, the committees
claiming that recommendations from the
bonding company are given too much
weight and that the railway too often
throws upon the bonding company re-
sponsibilities for unjust decisions.
"The discharge of a large number of
men also constitutes a grievance.
when the committees left st. Paul
they said that they would return in De-
cember, but it may be tina they vii! re.
turn sooner, and they may not deem il
necessary to have any further confer
ences. Time will tell"
