Believed There Will BE No Further Trou-
BILE on the Docks at Buff'lo.
BUFFALO, n. Y, May 25.-The clouds
of trouble which have hung over this
city for the past five weeks are dispelled
by bright sunshine and brighter hopes
for business prosperity. The dock labor,
ers who have waged an earnest but
particularly peaceful war against their
employers, having gained almost every
thing they demanded, swarmed along
the docks looking for work. The supply
was far in excess of the demand, owing
to the stagnation of traffic during the
recent strike, but now that the block
ade has been lifted, this lack OF work
will soon disappear, and the almost
hourly arrival Of grain and package
freight-laden vessels at the port will
surely renew the usual busy aspect OF
the shipping and railroad district
All the troubles of the strikers have
been obliterated nnder most stringent
and binding agreements, and with the
exception Of the abrogatiQn OF the con-
tract system, they have been granted
every demand they made. All along

all anxious to work, and as many as
could be accommodated were imme-
diately placed. There was no friction
between the new bosses and the appll-
cants, and those best qualified to pass
upon the situation say that under the
new agreement there will be very little
oh bopoa of op,, f,,rthor fro,1h1o Grain
scoopers, freight handlers, ore and coal
shovelers all agreed to return to their
respective jobs. The working men who
have fought so hard for remedial meas
ures are not the only ones who feel joy
full. The carriers and contractors are
equally jubilant and the merchants who
have suffered for some weeks from the
scarcity of money in the regular inter-
change of business are grateful for the
changed conditions.

WASHINGTON, May %. :. Secretary
Hay has received from President Schur-
man of the Philippine commission {;
long message giving the results Of the
meetings thus far held with the native
Filipino commissioners sent by Aguin-
aldo to treat with the Americans. The
message was. laid before the president
later. He was very much gratitied at
its contents, which were said to be very
encouraging for the outlook that some
thing may be accomplished. President
Schurman reports that the native COM
missioners will take back to their peo-
pie the proposition for form of gov
ernment, ETC., suggested by the Amer
ican commission. The text Of the dis
patch was not made public and will not
be. It was stated on the authority of a
gentleman who spent some time with
the president that, contrary to reports
from Manila, there are no differences of
any consequence between the military
and civilian members OF the commits
sion as to the course to be adopted III
dealing with the natives.

A Cure For Rlackleg.

Ranchmen and farmers in the western
part of the county are experimenting
this spring with the discovery in vaccin-
alton for the prevention Of blackleR in
cattle. The VACCINE ls furnished free by
the government and the only expense
attached is the buying Of the apparatus
to inject the vaccine. This expense
amounts to about 81 As. A number OF
cattle have already died from blackleR

more losses 10 their nerds. It this new
preventative for blsckleg proves sue
cess. as some who have tried it believe,
it will be great boon to cattle raisers

MUST Be STAMPED
Bonds of School and Township
Officers Require Fifty
Cent Stamp.

Internal Revenue Collector j. r :.
Hautz Of Omaha has decided all bonds
Of school and township officers should
have q 5O-cent stamp attached. 1be
effect of this decision is far reaching as
every school and township officers bond
in the state will have to be stamped, the
district or township having to pay there
for, which seems an easy way OF taking
the people IN bunches.
It has always been the custom since
the law went into effect for county offi-

MINOR officers came within the scope OF
the law.

HAVANA, May 24.-The Cuban arms
question is apparently nearing a CON-

eral Brookes invitation, called at head
quarters in Ell Vedado and the two gen.

signed by the governor general on Sat-
urday but not published. Every word
| and phrase were re-examined and
nothing was changed. At the end of

| entirely satisfied and felt convinced
that the order met all the objections
which had been raised, not only by
himself but by those outside his coun-
cils The text Of the article disposing
of the arms is as follows:
Disposition of the Arms.
1.-The arms and equipments Of the
Cuban soldiers will be turned over to
the civil governors or to the alcaldes of
the municipalities either at the place of
residence of the soldiers or the place of
payment to the United States officers in
charge. Said civil governors and alcal.
des are hereby charged with the proper
storage and care of the same until they
can be collected for storage in Cuban
arsenals at Havana and Santiago, as
already arranged.
Receipts will be given to soldiers for
arms turned in and civil governors and
alcaldes will forward to headquarters
report of the nun Der Of arms in their
charge. Where 500 are stored in one
place an ex-Cuban soldier will be en-
ployed as an armorer and shall be paid
