SANTA FE STRIKE.

OfRoials of the Road md Striking Tele-
graphers Claim Victory.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE officials
of the Santa Fe road say that the
strike of the telegraph operators is
practically over. The operators them.
selves continue in the belief that their
case is d winning one, and say the
prospects look better now than they
have been at any time yet.
The men in the Santa Fe shops here
went to work as usual An order had
been issued closing the shops as re-
suit of the strike. The officials later
decided it to be useless for the shops to
be kept closed as they say the strike
will be Of small proportion.
To officials are all of one opinion
that the strike is ended in most places
but cannot explain the absence of men
from the offices here. Not one of the
Topeka operators has returned to work
anu from reports received over the di.
vision the strikers seem to think they
have gained the day.
Opinions as to the duration of the
strike differ. The men think they will
win, but are afraid it will take them a
long time. The officers Of the road

BIRD IptelliHence.

During high wind one summer day
a young oriole was thrown from it's
nest to the ground. 1t was picked up
by kind hands aud kept in the house
till the storm was over and then placed
on the roof Of the piazza. A watch
was kept behind the closed blinds of
window near by to note proceedings
on the part of the parent birds. They
in the meantime had seen the little one
borne away and had followed it to the
house, and, as 1t was kept near the
open window, It's cries had apprised
them Of its whereabouts. They soon
came to it on the roof and lowered
about it, doing much talking and con-
sulting together.
Finally they alighted near the little
one, and the female slipped her wing
under it and seemed to urge some
course of acting upon the male, who
fidgeted about coming to the little one,
spreading his wings over it, then fly.
ing to tree, when the female followed
him and brought him back and again
slipped wing under the little one.
Finally he seemed to understand or
to get his nerve under control, and,
slipping his own wing under, together
they made a sort of cradle for the bird
ling, and, each tapping its free wing,

place of safety among the branches,

The Netherlands VIII Not Take the In

THE HAGUE, Dec. l2.-The Dutch
government has finally and definitely
refused to take the initiative in behalf
of arbitration between the Transvaal
and Great Britain.
The decision of the government was
communicated in an interview between
Mr.. Kruger and DR.. Leyds on one side
and the Dutch foreign minister and the
minister of finance, N. G. Pierson, on
the other. Mr.. Kruger explained that
the object Of his journey was to dis
seminate the idea of arbitration ana
the Dutch minister replied that the
role of the Netherlands must be passive.
The initiative belonged to the great
powers, he added. When the powers
had reached decision the Dutch gov.
ernment might see what it could do.
