UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
Statement Made by Official Concern

Omaha Neb., Jan. 30-At Union Pacific
headquarters this official statement was
made concerning the strike situation:
Piece work has been a successful sys-
TEN in the shops of our company for
six months past and the committee repre-
senting the strikers was told that no
change in the system could be made at

and from 90 to 100 per cent at other
places.

cause our busiest season is now over.

OPERATOR LEFT COUNTRY.
Man Alleged to Be Responsible for
Wreck Has Gone,

Tuscon, AriZ., Jan. 30.-Confiict of au-
thority between the two justices of the
peace of Tuscon presents a feature of the
investigation into the responsibility for
the terrible train wreck at Walls that is
causing so much bitter feeling and re-
tarding the hearing. Under the laws of
Arizona justices of the peace act as cor
oners. Trscon has two justices and there
fore two coroners w. II. Culver and o.
T. Ritchey both claim the right to hear
testimony on the wreck. Two juries were
summoned The conductor of the west
bound train was taken before Ritcheys
jury which may be recognized as the
proper one although Culver's deputy was
first upon the scene.
The sensation of today was the disap-
pearance of Operator Clough. who. ii has
been claimed, was responsible for the
disaster. 1t was stated last night that
Clough would appear this morning and
testify as to his part in the affair. not
withstanding the statements of officers Of
both juries sitting on the case, have been
searching throughout the city. Clough has
not been found. The search has been
going on the past twenty-four hours.
The railroad officials are ignorant of
Coughs whereabouts. The report has
reached here from Benson that he was
seen yesterday on an international train,
presumably bound for Sonora, Mexico
Instructions have been sent to different
officers along the line to apprehend him
j. such should be the case.
1t is expected that both juries will bring
i'm a verdict this afternoon.

SECRETARY ROOT URGENT.
Wants Bill Remedying Financial Evils
in Philippines.

Washington. Jan. 3O-The executive
branch of the government is not disposed
TO cease its efforts to bring about an ad-
justment of the ratio of gold and silver
currency in the Orient and in other silver
Using countries with the mere presen-
tation TO congress CT the Mexican and
Chinese notes yesterday. Secretary Root
who is opposed TO the amended Philip
pine currency bill, is particularly urgent
in seeking to. remedy the evil financial
conditions in the Philippines caused in
q large part by fiuctuating currency
ratios. while Secretary Hay is Interested
in the proposition because it promises
TO at once alleviate the friction now ex-
ting as result of the Chinese indem-
Dity question. The secretary also is look
ing into the future toward the enlarge
ment of American trade in South and
Central America. where silver is still the
standard of value. Therefore. the pro-
position will be laid before congress to
appoint commission of three members
men expert in financial matters. to act
as representatives of the United States
in an international money conference on
the lines indicated by Mexico and China
any line of international exchange that
promises success. Very little legislative
action is required at this stage and IL
is probable that appropriation of 5000
for the expenses of each commissioner
will meet the needs of the state depart
ment at this time. II ii made plain that
the commission win have no power TO
commit the United States government to
any change in its currency system, the
conclusions will be al lad referendum
an dnothing can be made of them unless
congress regards them with favor.
The Mexican ambassador. Senator De
Azpiroz. called at the state department
today and extended TO Secretary Hay
and through him to the president. his
-warmest thanks for the able manner in
which the communications of Mexico and
China had been presented to congress
