Alleged settlement of the Engineers
and Firemen of the Central Rail-

Cleveland, o., April 15.-Grand Chief
Arthur of the brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers stated that he had
received no official information con-
corning the reported settlement of
the grievances of the engineers and
firemen on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. "lf the newspaper re-
ports are true" said Mr.. Arthur, "and
the engineers and fircmen have set
tied, leaving the trainmen and tele-
graphers to shift for themselves, a
great mistake has been made. The
chiefs of the five organizations rep
resented on the road entered into a
written agreement to work together
in the matter. In other words, all
the organizations were to be included
in any adjustment of grievances. As a
result of this agreement the en-
ginecrs and fremen could not honor
ably settle without the consent of
the other organizations"

New York, April ia special to

Specific provision for the neutrality
of the proposed isthmian canal will
be made in the new treaty, to be
signed by Secretary Hay and Lord
Pauncefote, British ambassador.
This decision has been arrived at
by the president and Secretary Hay,
after the most, exhaustive considera-

which have convinced them that the
highest interests of the country de-
mand the application of the principle
OF neutrality.
From the outset of the negotia-
