Chicago, July 16.-At conference
last night between a committee repre-
senting men in the Lakeshore freight
houses and officials of the roads
settlement of differences was effected
and the men will go back to work this
morning. The strikers say this means
that all roads will sign the same agree
ment. Adjustment of the controversy
was brought about by Chairman Job OF
the state board of arbitration. The
basis of settlement for wages was:
check transfer and receiving clerks for
first three months are to get 500;
Check transfer and receiving clerks for
$780, delivery clerks for the first three
months $50 and after that period SOB;
storers per hour for the first three
months 18 cents and after three
months 1917; callers, first three
months, II cents and after that IL
cents per hour; truckers, per hour first
three months, Is and after three
months II cents The Lake Shore
men had no differences as to overtime.
Chicago, July 16.-With agreements
reached between four railroads and
their employees, the strike of the freight
handlers and teamsters that has par
alyzed the industries of Chicago for a
week is apparently broken. The ma
jority of the strikers are expected to
return to work today. By tomorrow,
according to the present outlook, there
will be few evidences of the strike:
Some of the more radical unionists re-
fuse to accept the terms, but apparent
ly they may be able to WELD but little
influence with the majority of the
strikers 1t is possible, however, the
radicals may prevent the strike being
called off at the mass meeting of hand
lers today. Upon the action Of this
meeting will depend the attitude Of the
striking teamsters. Their national
president, AL Young, has ordered them
back to work today, but if the handlers
refuse to declare the strike off officially
some transfers may refuse to work.
The railroads that entered into the
agreements last night were the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, Nickel
Plate, Northwestern and the Illinois
Central The two last named accepted
the proposition made upon the adj
vice of the teamsters' board of arbitra-
ton. Others succeeded in getting the
men to sign the scale presented July
1. Neither side claims victory, as
the employees of the Lake Shore were
the first to sign. However, the rail
roads are expressing the greatest sat-
isfaction over the break in the strike.
The handlers return to work without
having obtained recognition of their
union, time and half for overtime or
adjustment of the probation period.
On the other hand, they obtained in
creases in pay.
While the signing of the agreements

Lord Salisbury, in resigning, ex-
pressed the desire that no new title or
honors should be conferred upon him
The retirement of this last great
statesman of the Victorian age is uni
versally regarded as the transition
from one generation to another and as
marking the close of an era in the ma
tiOnal life.
The selection of Balfour is said to b.,
a crushing blow to Joseph Chamber.

blighted. He has aspired to fill the
Office of premier, and his only oppor-
tunity, in the judgment of diplomats
who are familiar with the situation.
was to follow Salisbury. Balfour will
remain the head of the cabinet until
the conservatives are displaced. The
liberals, whom Chamberlain deserted,
thoroughly hate him, and could not
welcome him back in their ranks had
he any desire to return. He is not
popular with the conservatives, and
wealth and aristocracy that control
that party looking upon him as an up
start, he being self-made man. Cham
berlain has been unpopular with both
conservatives and liberals since de-
serted Gladstone and fought the idol
of the people.
Salisbury, in retiring to private life,
carries with him the respect of a wide
circle of admirers, who appreciate his
strength. He was cynical and egotis-
teal and held himself aloof, being one
of the hardest men to meet in the EN-.
pre- 1t was often said of him that ali
audience with the queen could be
much easier arranged than one inter
view with him.

have been rife ever since the death Of
the marchioness of Salisbury. These
began to take more definite shape u
few months ago, the end of the war or
the contamination of the coronation
being mentioned as the possible time
of resignation.
Saturday Lord Salisbury paid a pri-
vate visit to the king and rendered his
resignation, his advancing years and
failing health being the reasons as
signed The king graciously but re-
gretfully acacepted the resignation,
and Salisbury communicated with Mr..
Balfour, the leader of the commons.
Mr.. Balfour was received by the king,
who offered him the place of premier,
which Mr.. Balfour accepted.
Mr.. Balfour as premier will remain
leader of the house of commons. Lord
Salisbury will attend the coronation as
prime minister, such being the kings
wish.
Prior to the acceptance of his new
office Mr.. Balfour first had an inter
view with Mr.. Chamberlain and then
consulted with his other cabinet as
sistants.
AS to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by prac-
tically all the best informed persons to
have been simply desire for quiet
life on the part of man advanced ir
years, whose activities have been I'M
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre-
dispose him to study and seclusion.

EVANS MAY GO TO MADRID
Pension Commissioner Mentioned as
Storer's Successor I'm Proposed
Ministerial Changes.

WASHINGTON. March 31-Henry White
at present secEetary of embassy at London.
is the latest and most formidable candidate
for the vacancy in the Italian embassy, to
be created by the retirement OF Ambassador
Meyer. Mr.. White is strongly urged by
Senator Lodge and has a most enviable
record in diplomatic practice. He was secre
tary OF the embassy, when Mr.. Hay was
ambassador, and consequently he has a
warm friend in the secretary.
Bellamy Storer, now minister to Madrid
is to go to Berlin as ambassador to succeed
Mr.. Andrew White, when that offlcer re-
tires, which probably will be next fall.
The only contingency which may defeat
Mr.. Storer's aspirations in this direction
lies in the attitude of the Ohio senator's
toward his promotion; II they are jointly
opposed they may defeat the proposed ap-
pointment.
Mr. Storer's retirement from Madrid will
leave a vacancy there which rumor con-
nects with the name Of Henry Clay Evans,
the retiring pension commissioner though
it is learned upon inquiry that this is not
yet assured.

HOLD UP THE BoXeR CLAIMS
House Committee Decides to with
hold Payment Pending China's
Remittance of Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-No action has
been taken thus far by the appropriations
committee of the house on the recommenda-
tion Of the president to pay by appropria-
tion $2,100,OOO OF the missionary claims
growing out OF the Boxer troubles in China
and an informal understanding has been
reached that 1t will be inadvisable to pay
these claims before they have been adju-
dicated in the usual manner by a commits
sion or some other body, and also before
China has paid the $4,000, 900 indemnity
coming to this country.
The latter came up recently when the
sundry civil appropriation bill was under
discussion and Chairman Cannon called in
Mr.. Hit Of the foreign affairs committee
to get his views on the subject. All agreed
that the claims ought to be adiudicated be-
fore being paid and ought to await China's
settling up. 1t is probable this terminates
any present appropriation OF the amount Of
these claims.

OVER CLIFF TO DESTRUCTION
Oattlemen Slaughter Twelve Thousand
Sheep in Wyoming Fight.
COURIER BEARS FIRST AUTHENTIC NEWS
Refuses to Disclose Identity of Men
Involved in Outrage, but Says
None of the Men Were
wounded.

ROCK SPRINGS, wyo., March 31.-(Spe-
cial Telegram)- courier reached here
late tonight from the scene of the fight
between the sheepmen and the cattlemen
east Of Big Piney. which occurred last
Friday. He was on the ground Saturday
and states that no one was injured, but that
IL 900 sheep were killed and scattered, the
animals being shot. clubbed to death and
driven over a cliff into a deep and narrow
ravine. Three sheep wagons we're burned,
together with the bedding and camp out
ft Of the fiockmasters.
The fight occurred between Sand Springs
and East Boulder creek. twenty miles east
OF Big Piney. The sheepmen were sew
eral miles beyond the deadline and were
encroaching upon the reserve of the cat
tlemen, when a band of the latter appeared,
heavily armed and mounted.
After firing several shots at the sheep
men, who returned the fire, the cattlemen
closed in and as they outnumbered the
sheepmen five to one, disarmed the herders
and tied them and proceeded to destroy the
outfit and kill the sheep.
The courier refuses to divulge the names
Of those implicated in the outrage, neither
will he give the names of the fiockmasters,
but he would not deny that the latter were
John and Abe Hill. There is considerable
excitement in the upper Green river coun-
try, and further trouble is expected.

KRUGER BECOMES ANXIOUS
VIII Confer with Colleagues on Mo-
tives of schaIkburEer's
Peace Movement

THE HAGUE, March S1-Mr. Kruger,
Or. Leyds and the Boer delegates in
Europe are expected to hold an important
meeting at Utrecht April 2, to consider the
situation, in view OF Acting President
schalkburger's peace movement. Well in
fomed people here say General schalk-
burger was evidently Influenced by the re-
ceipt Of the Dutch note to Great Britain
and other matters sent him here.
His conferences with Mr.. steyn and Cen
eral Dewet which heretofore have been
daily carried or, we're interrupted by the
recent British military movements, and as
1t was necessary to communicate with Mr..
Steyn and General Dewet before any peace
proposition could be formulated, General
schalkburger had to apply to Lord Kltch-
ener for a safe conduct.
Considerable surprise is expressed here
at schalkburger's delay in getting in
touch with Dewet and II Is thought that
something unusual must be behind 1t. But
even II the Orange Free State and Trans
vaal officials agreed to peace terms, it
would be necessary for both republics to
call a general meeting OF the commanders
and submit the proposals TO the burghers
before they could be submitted to Lord
Kitchener. In any case. unconditional sur
render, 1t is declared, is out of the ques-
tion.

centage of intelligent voters as any in the
city. The machine gave entire satisfaction
and was declared by all who lived in the
ward to be great improvement over the
old method of voting. The state law now
provides that under certain circumstances
voting machines may be used, and this was
tried by authority Of the city. 1t is proba-
BILE that other machines will be put in use
