THE U. p. STRIKEI
 OFFICIALLY OVER
The Company Refuses to Make the
 Concessions Demanded.

Omaha. Neb.. January 3O.-At the Union Pacific headquarters this off cial statement was made concerning the strike situation:
 "Piece-work has been a successful system in the shops of our company for six months past and a committee repre- senting strikers was told that no change in the system could be made at this time. About S5 per cent of the work done in the Omaha shops is piece work
 We TOW have more men in the shops here than We ever had before and their character and skill is all that We could ask. A reduction will soon be neces- sary because our busiest season is now over.
 If We Were 10 take back the strikers now if would mean that our force in the shops would be crowded out and this We dislike to do, but We would not have room for two forces.
 "Our train service is becoming bet ter. the trains last week being 100 per cent better than during the previous weeks.
 This strike is over as far as the company is concerned. The men quit service last June and We hired new ones to fill their places. That is all there is to it."

FACTORIES MAY SHUT DOWN.
Scarcity of Coal Felt Severely at Akron
 Ohio.

Akron. Ohio, January 30.-The coal famine has struck Akron and it is pro- bable that unless something is done within a short time to. relieve the situa- ton several of the big factories here will be closed. Recently the retail deal CTS boosted the price of coal 50 cents ton for all grades. They claim that they are unable to get coal and that the supply at present in this city will not last long.
 Many Of the manufacturers have men out looking for a chance to buy coal. as they are aware that the local dealers cannot supply the demand. A large manufacturer, who is at the head of a half dozen clay producing con- ce1ns. said today: Unless we can get a supply of coal by the end of the week it will be necessary for us to close our plants. We have been caught with out Q sufficient supply, and have only enough to last few days"
 { Several Of the large plants arc closed at the present time, presumably
 for the purpose of taking the annual i inventory. but it is said that some ot them were compelled to close because
 of the lack of coal.

all that were killed on No. : were the engineer and the fireman.
 Both juries have taken the testimony who has not been located, and Fireman Gilbert, whose condition is such that he cannot give his testimony. The whereabouts of ClOugh is a mystery. He was seen in Tucson late on the day of the wreck and gave his story to Su- perintendent Sroufe. Since that time he has not been seen, although officers officials say they cannot locate him. It is the opinion Of the officials and Agent Mann that Clough, fearing arrest and possible violence at the hands of the people, has fled, probably going to Mexico. A telegram came from his mother today reading: Tt is horrible but be brave for my sake. I believe all will be right"
 There seems to be little doubt in the minds of the public that both juries will place the responsibility for the wreck upon Clough.
 A railroad emplOye who knows Clough well said today: Tn my opinion you will not see Clough again here. The jury need not wait for him, for he will not show up."
 Both undertakers here agree that fourteen is the number of recognizable bodies taken from the wreck How many more were lost it is impossible to know.

Washington, January 3O.-This was private claims day of this congress in the house and members with bills on the calendar carried everything before them before the committee of the whole. FOrty-five bills in all were act ed on favorabIy, despite the efforts of Mir. Payne the republican floor leader, assisted by MT. Cannon and others to defeat some of them. Many of the claims were old dating back to the civil war and a few that originated prior to that time. The latter were for balances due for carrying mails in the south when the war broke out
 Mir. Payne was particularly insistent in opposition to these bills calling at te1tion to the exposure of the fraudu- lent character of many similar claims in the Forty fifth congress. Members interested stood together, however. and voted him down every time he de- manded q division. There were sever al bills t1 reimburse postmasters and

ADVICES FROM BEAUPRE.
Number Of Amendments Proposed to
the Canal Treaty,

The State Department last night received
a dispatch from Minister Beaupre at Bo-
gotta, Colombia, dated August g. The dis
patch contained no information concerning
the canal treaty, but simply asked about
dispatches from the department. The State
Department again asked Minister Beaupre
to respond to messages sent ten days ago.
Acting Secretary of State Loomis today
received another cablegram from Minister
Beaupre. The minister States that no final
action has yet been reached on the canal
treaty. He says that IA number of amend
ments have been proposed which have not
been acted upon by the Colombian senate.
While the cablegram is not very definlte
the impression at the State Department is
that one of the principal amendments is in
regard to an increase in the amount of
money to be paid b! the United States to
Colombia for the canal concession. The
date of the dispatch is not quite clear, al
though it is in reply to one sent by Mr..
Loomis which is supposed to have reached
Bogota about August ). 1t is believed that
Minister Beaupres answer left there about
that time.

JOHNSON TAKES THE STUMP.
He Will Make War on Senator
Hanna
patch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 13-The
democratic campaign in Ohio has practical
ly been opened by Mayor johnson. who
spoke today at Brunswick. Hinekley, Wads-
worth and Sharon. The mayor is making
his main issue an attack against Senator
Hanna. THE issues of this campa .gn," said
Mayor Johnson in one of his meetings, ARE
home rule for the cities and townships of
the state and an equitable system Of taxa
ton for every citizen of Ohio. The princi-
pal issue of this campaign is the election OF
members of the next legislature, whether
democratic or republican, who will give the
people voice in their own local govern
ment and just system of taxation.
Il do not believe that the leg stature at
Columbus should have the pewer to grant
street railroad franchises or give small
cities the same municipal government as
large cities or fix the salaries of municipal
officers.
Men who ride railroad passes will
vote for the railroads. There were fifteen
members In the last legislature who did not
ride on passes, and fourteen of these men
were from Cuyahoga county.
General Dick has said that the re-elec-
ton of Senator Hanna is the issue of this
campaign. 1t is not the important ISSUE
but it is an issue when men In high places
use the republican party for Their own per-
sonal ends You ought to condemn any
United States senator for doing this.
My mission in this campaign Is to help
elect an honest legislature. am not a
candidate for any Office. They say they
will force me to take the nomination for
governor but if 1 do / shall fight more
for the legislature than for myself"
The victory of Zimmerman in Hamilton
county has caused some depression of spirit
here but 1t was generally thought that the
in Cincinnati and hence the result was not
a surprise.

RIOT AT wHITnKY, END.
Half a Dozen Injured--oyer Twenty
Arrests Made.

CHICAGO, Angus: 1a-More than a
score of men have been arrested for in
fiicting severe injuries on at least half a
dozen men in fierce fight at Whiting.
Ind, the trouble being an outgrpwth of a
factional quarrel between members of the
Slavic races. laborers for the. Standard
OIL Company. Warrants for fourteen others
will be served today.
The riot was the elimination of a series
of battles, in several of which serious in
juries were sustained. The police cannot
learn the cause of the quarrel. They un-
derstand it originated in Europe and that
the Slavs are fighting for a principle.
On one side are SerUans, Hungarians
and Croatians. On the other side are
those designated only by the generic
name.
Following several battles in saloons and
at picnics, party of Slavs and another of
the allied races met yesterday in Scraag
avenue, a street dividing the settlements.
Scores engaged in battle and hundreds
watched the fight. The police made a
dozen arrests, and number Of the Ser
Wan faction were arrested later on war
rants.

If the Battle Ship Massachusetts, is
Able to Make the Trip.

1t is said at the Navy Department that no
action will be taken with respect to the
disposition of the injured battleship Massa-
chusetts until after the receipt of the re-
port showing the character and extent of
the injuries sustained. If the vessel is able
to make the journey, she will be sent to
New York to be docked for repairs, but it
is possible her injuries are too serious to
justify her removal until after temporary
repairs have been made. The Indiana which
is now alongside of the Massachusetts. will
be detained there until it is esta ablished that
her presence is no longer necessary for the
safety or assistance of her sister ship.
In case of much delay the Indiana will
not take part in the naval review off Oyster
bay. Her absence with that of the Massa

the review. as 1t will reduce the representa-
tion OF battleships to the Kearsarge, Illi-

;nsular bureau of the War Department has
been informed that the price OF the Mexi-
can dollar in Manila is 46A cents; In Hong
Kong. Az, and in New York. 42z- 1t has
heen suggested that the difference between
the nrice in Manila and Hong Kong will re-
suit in large importation of Mexicans. and
the English bankers have suggested that
an import tax be levied upon the MeXfcans
in order to protect the Filipino people who
hold Mexicans. The War Department au-
thorities take the view that the bankers
probably hold more Mextcans than the
people. and that such tax is unnecessary.
These Mexicans win not be received for
public dues and imposts after the new cur
rency law goes into effect.
The position of the War Department 10
that there should be no interference with
the Mexicans, as they are a floating foreign
coin. 1t is probable that the Spanish silver
coins in circulation will be redeemed as
were the Spanish coins in Porto Rico, as IL
is held that the Spanish coins were q part
