Indications of an Improvement in
the Omaha Situation.
Omaha. Neb., May 1.-THE strike of
trade unionists in this city seems to be
nearing an end, so far as the shutting
down of business is concerned. The
first break in the teamsters' ranks
came day, when $50 men employed
by one of the large delivery companies
decided to return to work. A meeting
of the Transfers Union to-day also de-
cided to withdraw the Objectionable
features of their demands on employ
ers, but it was stated that the latter
demand lower scale of wages.
Several of the large downtown res
taurants will open their places to-mor-
row with non-union men, most of whom
are negroes The employers have not
made concession thus far, and state
that the plan of arbitration proposed
by the strikers will not be accepted.
The laundries will resume operations
with non-union men Tomorrow, al
though q number of the old employees
will be retained. The union laundry
workers have arranged to enter INTO
active competition with the laundries,
having established a large number of
offices in the city, from which they
will send their work to laundries In
the smal1 outside towns. The laundry
proprietors say that wagons will not
be sent out at present, but work
brought to the laundries will receive
attention.

CHANGE IN POLICY
Break in the Bulgarian Cabinet IL
So Interpreted.

Break in the Bulgarian Cabinet IL
So Interpreted.
Vienna, May 1.-THE changes in the
cabinet at Sofia are regarded here as
indicating change in the foreign pol
icy of Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand is
said to have been displeased with ex-
Premier Daneff's handling of Mace
DOMAIN affairs during his absence, and
to have declined all responsibility for
certain steps taken by NJ. Daneff, in
GLIDING some promises made to the
Russian representative at Sofia. 1t is
understood here that the new Bulgarian
cabinet will be non-partisan.
In view of the critical situation in the
Balkans all parties are likely to sup
port the policy of Prince Ferdinand in
the hope of ending the present uncer-
tain condition of affairs, particularly
with regard to Bulgaria's relations
with Turkey.

The RATION KILLING.
Some tf the Facts Leading 10
killing Of Night Marshal Jones,
MURDERER A COLOREO CAR PORTER.

Passengers of train No. 8 of We'd
nesday, arriving here last night as
train first No. /, brought additional
news of the affair in which Night Mar
shal Jones, of Ration, lost his life on
Thursday night.
The passengers of the belated train,
held over at Ration on account of the
washout at Las Vegas were fed on a
dining car in care of five negroes. Al
ter finishing up their work on the
night of the tragedy the negroes pro-
ceeded to the city and to drinking.
They became boisterOus in the course
of their carousing and attempted to
break up the furniture of a saloon,
The marshal attempted to quell the
trouble.
Where the negro got the gun, with
which he killed Marshal Jones Is not
known, but it is thought that he went
to the car and procured it after the
trouble began, and that at least for
fifteen minutes before the killing he
intended to shoot the marshal The
man who told this story, although not
an eye witness to the shooting, says
that one OF the negroes held Jones
while the other shot him from behind.

ALBUQJ ERoUE MEXICO FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Harrison, J. +. Saint and several other
watef experts visited the dyke and
personally inspected the state of the
river. along its banks, between this
city and the Los Corrales bridge.
They have returned to the city. and
give it out, in solid chunks, that there
is no danger of flood. OF course
they found water running over the
lowlands, not only from the river
proper but also from acequias, which
are all bankfril but as to the flood
rushing down upon this city, there is
not the remotest possibility.
Judge T. c. Gutierrez, one of the
county commissioners, and who is an
old resident of the valley, also visited
the vicinity of the dyke. He is in the
city this afternoon, and says that it
would take a rise of three or four feet
for the water from the river to even
reach the dyke; therefore the dyke is
is no danger of going out" and the
people VI AipulutIQut shouiu oNNSpt
the Investigations of these gentlemen
as truthful in every respect.
A Citizen representative, with Sher-
if Hubbell, visited Los Corrales a
short time ago, when the river was
as high as now, and all the surplus
water on this side of the bridge was
coming from the overflow of two big
acequlas. The dyke wah good and
solid then, and it is now in good con
dition.
OF course on the other side of the
bridge the ground is pretty low, and
the overflow comes from the river, bi.,
the people of Los Corrales have ham
died serious floods before and will do
so again.
The condition at Barelas is about
the same, as to overhowed water in
the road leading to the bridge and
on the adjacent lowlands. The same
conditions exist at Atrisco and Ran
chos de Atrisco, and the people be-
lieve that they have about conquered
any further overflow from the river
They say positively that the river
has fallen nearly two feet since last
night.
A telephone message from Peralta
says the dam about five miles above
that town gave away early this morn
| ing. and sent volume of water over
| some fine valley farms. completely
running the crops.

SOLDIER BOYS DISAPPOINTED.

Troops F and G from Fort Wingate
did not leave last night for Morenci,
Arizona, where they expected to go to
help to preserve order in the strike
district.
The orders were countermanded at
the last minute, as it was thought that
the troops already at Morenci from
Fort Grant were sufficient. Lieuten-
ant II. S. nurnell, nrst assistant sur
geon at Fort Wingate, was in the city
yesterday afternoon, and stated that
the cavalry boys were getting ready to
start The order to stay at home will
be big disappointment to them. 1t

go in for arbitration.

about reached the depot here and ris-
ing No. %, going north, is held here

stood that passengers will be trans

on the trains from the north, which
came down to the washout last night,
and vice versa with the passengers

No truth in the report that the rail
road bridge at San Antonio had been
washed away. There is plenty of ov'
erfowed water at San Antonio, but up
to this morning the bridge was safe.
