Santa Fs Employees Strike.

One hundred and ten Santa Fe
Employees, including the entire
force OF machinists, boilermakers
and blacksmiths, with their help
ers, walked out OF the Santa Fe
shops al O'Clock Thursday after
noon, because OF the failure OF the
railroad company TO pay of on the
18th, the regular payday. For
several months past the pay checks
have failed 10 arrive promptly, and
the employees served notice on the
company THAI failure to comply
with their wishes IN the matter Of
paying of promptly would result
IN walk Jut- The checks failed
to arrive on the 18th, and when
they failed TO put IN appearance
on the following day committee
notified local officials that eniess
the men We're paid off by 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon all of the en-,
ployes would quit work. They
kept their word and walked out
promptly at O'Clock,
There were all sorts of rumors
in the AIR. 1t was rpoded that
the checks had arrived and were
being held back by the compan,
tor some reason, some OF the rea
sons gwen out bordering on the
ludicrous. The checks finally ar
nved Friday morning aud every
body got what was due him. 1t is
SAID that the express company was
responsible for the delay in this
instance. the check having been
carried by. Some Of the men re.
ported for work Yesterday morn
ing. but no blocks were given out
BY the timekeeper except to those
who did not walk out. Yesterday
At noon all OF the men reported for
work. but were informed 10y the
officials that no blocks would be
given out. There were about SIX
teen men at work on the rip track
Yesterday and half a dozen in the
shops and round house. One hun
dred and ten men were refused
blocks yesterday at noon.
The employees held a meeting
yesterday afternoon. but so far as
we have beeh able to learn no
course Of action was decided upon.
General Manager Nudge and Vice
President Hendricks were in town
Yesterday afternoon but made no
overtures to the men.
Mechanical Superintendent Tsy-
lor when questioned and asked
for the very latest, replied Every
thing is lovelv," and made his
get away. He failed to state
however, whether the goose hangs
high or low. II you are good
gnesser you may be able to inter
pref that remark and find a solu-
ton OF the situation. The men
are still out.

WRONG CORRECTED
 BY MIR. ROOSEVELT
ISSUES A GENERAL ORDER THAT WILL AFFECT MORE THAN 100 PRISONERS CONFINED IN U. s. PENlTENTlARY AT ATLANTA.

Washington, March 30. - President Roosevelt has Issued a general order In the nature of an amnesty toward cer- tain class of prisoners, which will affect mere than a hundred prisoners confined In the new |. s. penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga.
 In the early part of 1902, upon the com pletion of the Atlanta penitentiary' number of United States prisoners, in- carcerated in penitentiaries in Ohio and New York, were transferred to the peni- tentiary at Atlanta. By reason of the transfer of these prisoners, their terms of Imprisonment were increased in some cases to the extent of three or four years, for the reason that the Ohio and New York laws relating to the diminution of sentences for good conduct which by the federal statutes were made appllca- ble to the United States prisoners. were very much more liberal than the federal statutes under which such diminution of sentences Is permitted in federal nsti- tutions.
 The last congress repealed the federal statutes making state laws applicable to United States prisoners wherever con- fined.
 On account of the great injustice done to the prisoners transferred to Atlanta. In extending their sentences beyond the terms which were intended by the courts in imposing the sentences, and in order to remedy this injustice, the President has issued general order, which after reciting the law and facts in the case, concludes:
 Now therefore, be 1t known, that I, Theodore Roosevelt. President of the Uni ted States, In consideration or the prem ises, divers other good and sufficient req sons, me thereunto moving, do hereby or der that each and every United States prisoner who was or hereafter shall be transferred from a state institution to the United States penitentlary at Atlanta, Ga under sentence imposed on or before the 20th day of July 1902, be discharged by the warden of the said United States penitentiary upon the day when he would have been discharged had he continued to be confined in the state prison or peni- tentiary from which he was transferred upon condition that his conduct in the said institution and in the United States penitentiary has been such as to entitle him to the deductions hereby granted and allowed"

RAILROAD TICKETS FORGED.
Passenger Department of the Southern
 Pacific Unearths Big Fraud.

New Orleans. March 9O.-The passenger department of the Southern Pacific railroad has just unearthed at New Or leaus what promises to prove a huge swndle and forgery of railroad tickets. A coupon of a ticket purporting to have been issued by the Louisiana and South ern Railroad company has been turned into the New Orleans office for identifi- cation.
 There is no such road as the Louisiana and Southern, but the manpulators of the ticket took advantage of the name of the Louisiana Southern and sold to trav- ellers coupon tickets over the Union Pa cihc and Southern Pacific. Investigations have been set on foot and it is probable that scalpers in the middle and western territory will be involved. The ticket bears the signature of J. M. Davis, gem eral passenger and ticket agent. There is no such official in the railroad service, certainly no one connected with railroads in Louisiana. The ticket is plainly a forgery.

"A metaphysical study) We have never grief a single pain That we have not deserved. Sorrow and sin could never touch this
 life
 If we had never swerved, In other life, from what we knew was
 best.
 This thing we call our cross Is but the load of all We might have done' We've made our every loss. We have never joy we have not eafheo' A crown we have not won; Each bit of happiness is our reward For some good we have done. We have never a love that was not ours Before this mortal birth. We never hope for that which has not
 been
 Our lot upon this earth. And thus we live each day what we have
 been.
 Our happiness or pain Is but the echo of our long ago.
 And when we live again All we'll enjoy and all we'll suffer too We're making in these days. This is the law, the great unchanging law That governs all our ways.

OPPOSED TO IRELAND.
Cardinal oreglla Is Hostile to the
 Archbishop.

New York, March 3O.-The opposition to the nomination of Archbishop Ireland for cardinal, says the Rome correspondent of the Tribune, comes especially from Cardinal Oreglla, the dean of the Sacred college, who considers himself follower of the traditions of the late Cardinal Ledoehwoski, who as prefect of the propaganda. was always hostile to Arch bishop Ireland and his friends. Although the only survivor of the cardinals ere nted by Plus TX, Cardinal Oreglia's in- fuence Is relatively limited, he having all ways somewhat disagreed with the pres ent pope.

At present they run as far as Elizabeth about eighteen miles this side of Greenville. The tracks for several miles out of Greenville are under fifteen l feet of water.
 Another reason the trains run no furth- 1 CT than Elizabeth is because of the danger to people and stock who are camped on the track for a number of miles. The railroad is on the highest part of the land | and all kinds of live stock and many hu- l man beings get on it to keep out of the water. If the trains should come along | people would have to get out into the water to let them pass.
 The agent at Greenvile uses a boat to get from the station to the freight yards. Frisco trains have again resumed ser vice via Memphis and local agents are authorized to resume the sale of tickets to all points.
