COMPROMISE EFFECTED
IN Be Rs N STRIKE AT
CEDAR RAPIDS.
Agreement Finally Reached
Yesterday Evening after
Weeks of Unavalling
Conference.

The strike at the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Northern shops
at Cedar Rapids in which was in
volved about 300 blacksmiths,
machinists, railway car men and
numerous other mechanics of the
federal union, is now thing of
the past. The strike was declared
off last night after over three
months struggle.
About three months ago the
management of the B G r and N
Company suffered an attack of
economy of a most pronounced
form and during the progress of
the same attempted to substitute
in place of the basis of paying the
employees of the shop by the num-
ber of hours worked, a schedule
known as the piece work basis,
that of paying the men by the
work turned out. The mechanics
resisted the attempted introduce
ton of the new system, the ma
chinists, members of the Inter-
national Association, taking the
first action. The men employed
in the various other departments
of the Cedar Rapids shop soon
affiliated with the machinists and
before long not a wheel in the en-
tire plane was turning. The
Company made great effort to fill
the places vacated by the strikers
with non union men but their
efforts were flat failure.
It is understood that no men,
tion is made of what system will
be In usein the shop in the future,
neither the strikers nor the Com
pany wishing to claim a victory,
but the mere announcement of
the conclusion of the strike indi-
Gates a victory for the employees.

President Mckinley and Par
ty Pass Through Town.

President Mckinley and party
passed through Missouri Valley
this morning at 8::5G enroute to
Washington, ID G via the G & N
w from Omaha to Chicago.
The party was travelling on q
special train of palatial private
cars and as the train passed
through this city travelling at q
speed of about Is miles per hour
the President stood upon the rear
platform of his private Car and
recognized the salutes of the
crowd gathered upon the platform
by the waving of his hat. Aside
from this no demonstration of any
kind was made. The precautions
taken by the management of the
North Western Company to in
sure safe and quiet trip for the
invalid wife of the President were
of nature never before heard of
in this section of the country, it
being the only known instance
wherein one woman caused the
traffic of "a railroad system like the
Chicago & North Western to be
entirely suspended during the
time consumed by the passing of
another train. Yesterday after
noon orders we're sent to every
station between Chicago and
Council Bluffs ordering all COM
pany employees to do everything
in their power to insure the safety
of the train.
All freight trains were ordered
to side track one hour in advance
of the scheduled time of tue
trains arrival at given point.
All passenger trains were to be
OIL the main lire and onto side
track at least 80 minutes before
the time scheduled for the passing
of the special. Neither whistles
nor bells were to be sounded for
any purpose whatever when the
Special was in the vicinity.
Switch engines were ordered to
stop work Immediately upon the
approach of the train and every
train, whether fast mail or COM
mon local freight train was or
dered to come to complete stop
upon the approach of the Special
and remain SO until the latter had
passed. All these precautions
were taken to preclude the possi-
bility Of the invalid, whose illness
has attracted the entire attention
of the civilized world, receiving a
nervous shock of any kind. The
train is travelling on very slow
schedule, not averaging to exceed
25 miles per hour on the trip from
Omaha to Chicago.

Petitions Filed Show Majorl.
ty of Over One Hundred.

ATLANTIC, May 27.-The petit
ton for saloons was filed with the
county auditor last week, showing
majority of 1876 voters in favor
of saloons, with 472 names on the
petition. The anti-saloon people
have gotten out q remonstrance
and are vigorously circulating it,
in an endeavor to secure enough
who have signed the petition to
also sign the remonstrance, to re-
duce the majority to minor.
ity and thus prevent saloons
There is little likelihood Of it's
being accomplished, however.
The day after the petition was
started the ministers of the city
inserted a statement in the local
papers to the effect that they
would endeavor to secure the pub
LEGATION of the names. It is un-
stood they are still anticipating
such a move. There is con-
siderable talk of boycott of those
who do and those who do not sign
the saloon petition, and the ques-
ton is arousing a good deal of
feeling on both sides. The board
of supervisors meet June 3 to
canvass the situation, and unless
the remonstrance prevents, the
saloons will probably be in oper-
alton soon after the first of the
month. No other town in the
county can have saloons, and they
are liberally commenting upon
the fact.

yourself as the ideal place when
you were four or FIVE years old.
At the extreme point Of the Pin
clio You look down on what ls
known as the Muro Porto, mas
sive fragment of the oldest of all
Roman walls which looks as II it
were surely going to fall over Just
from its own weight. All of the
other Roman walls have been re-
stored at some time of it's history,
but this particular part is believed
to be under the especial protec-
tion of the Apostle Peter and that
he defended it in person during
the siege by Yitiges.
Go up on the Pincio in The early
|afternoon and you will see but a
few students and children; but go
up there at five or any time be-
tween five and six and all Rome
seems to be there. Same faces in
the same carriages, day after day,
and they drive all that small drive
1t don't take over ten minutes
to go around the circuit and
over again as long, in fact, as
there is any one to look at them.
But the time to enjoy it is in
the early morning when there is
hardly no one there. You can
wander about among those all
stone faces from one to another,
and wonder what this did and
what that one did. It's a beauti-
full place. The Pincio ehall al
ways have warm spot in my
