STRIKE AT AN end
The Packing House Workmen
Troubles Declared of.
TO EMPLOY OLD UNION MEN
First Time in History Skilled workmsn
struck to Improve UnskiIisd
Labor and Failed.

The strike of the butcher workmen.
which has demoralized the meat-pack-
Ing industry throughout the country
for the last two months, has been Off
cially declared off by President
Michael j. Donnelly Of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen Of America. Mr.. Donnelly
telegraphed the members of the ma
tional executive committee asking
their consent to the announcement of
the end Of the strike, and having re-
ceived favorable answers from all, he
declared that the strike OF the men,
bers Of his organization would end.
The strike Of the members of the
affiliated unions at the stock yards
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers will oficially be called of ut
a meeting Of the conference board Of
the allied trades. This was decided
upon at n meeting of the central body
Of the allied trades.
The general body was at first in ia
vor OF continuing the strike, but Mr..
Donnelly announced that the men were
defeated and that in order to save the
union from being disrupted he would
order his men to return TO work, no
matter what course might be taken by
other unions. As the other unions
had no grievances. but had gone on
strike to aid the butchers. there was
nothing left for them but to follow
the lead Of Mr.. Donnelly, and they,
too, decided to call of the strike as
far as they were concerned.
When the packers we're notified that
IT had been decided to end the strike
they announced that they would give
places as far as possible to the skilled
men. but at the same time many Of
these men would be unable to secure
their old places, as in many cases the
work was being performed in a salts
factory name by men who had been
secured since the commencement of the
strike. IT is expected that the major
ity OF the unskilled men will be unable
to secure their old places again. 1t
was a question Of wage scale for this
class Of men that brought about the
strike, the packers refusing to sign an
agreement with any class other than
skilled workmen.
During the strike approximately 3d.
600 persons have been involved in the
struggle. which is estimated to have
cost the men about SIS, OOo, 900 in wages
rs against an estimated loss Of $780,
900 to the packers in loss Of business
and In increased expenses.

Home Secretary Ackers-Douglas. of
London. England. has appointed a COM
mission to inquire into the circum-
stances OF the convictions of Adolph
Beck. who was convicted In 1896,
served out the sentence of seven years
and was again arrested and convicted,
but was granted a free pardon" when
It developed that II had been couclu-
sively proven that both his convictions
were founded on mistaken identity.
The government has offered Beck az
compensation the sum OF 10000, which
he refused on the ground that 1t was
not sufficient. In both instances Beck
was charged with obtaining money and
jewelry from women under false pre-
lenses. Recently. however, a man Civ
ing the name of John Smith was ar
rested on the same charge and con-
fessed that he was the man that was
convicted In 1877 on the same charge.
When Beck was convicted la 1896 Il
was stated by the police that Beck
was the man Smith who was convicted
In 1877.

Texas Fever Kept from Spreading.

According to the reports Of Govern
ment Inspector Hiatt and Richards
Bros. v~eterinaries, there is little
change in the Texas fever condition
In Parsons. Few new cases have de-
veloped and there were only two or
three deaths. The work of dipping
goes on and little fear is entertained
that the authorities will fail to get
the disease under control. One en-
couraging feature OF the epidemic is
that the veterinaries have been able
to keep the disease confined to certain
localities, that in pastures where is
first appeared.

Line Between Lincoln and Beatrice IL
Being Made First-CIass.
Heavy improvements to the right of
way of the Union Pacific have been go
ing forward between Lincoln and Bea-
trice in a quiet way for nearly two
weeks. One large gang is now bal
lasting the roadbed and replacing the
light rails with steel Of the standard
weight between Valparaiso and Han
Ion. and Others will be put on the
work soon. This is only a part Of the
extensive improvements to the system
planned by Mr.. Hartman since the
calling in Of the general retrenchment
order issued by President Burt a year
ago, and will continue all over the Ne
braska and Kansas lines.
The present work on the Union Pa
ciic will include all the trackage be-
tween Lincoln and Beatrice. This will
allow the use of the latest high grade
engines. New and heavier steel
bridges will be put in where necessary,
and everything will be lone to make
the road equal in equipment to any
other.
Another line OF improvement will be
carried on between Lincoln and Oma-
ha. Contractor Mcclure, of Kansas
City, has been in Lincoln looking after
the awarding of the work. and 1t is
likely that he will have the construc-
ton of the improvements contem-
plated. Heavy rails will be laid, and
the bridges strengthened or rebuilt. II
is probable that some new grades will
be established, and in one or two cases
a change In the course of the track
effected to overcome bad grades. TIT
Marysville cutoff is another of the
great changes promised by the Union
Pacific, and this will make Lincoln
more important a point than II has
ever been.

The feet will merely touch at Li3au,
where 1t will be Joined by twelve trans

coed directly to the orient.
The scene On the departure OF the
feet was an imposing one. At dawn
the FIRST anchor was hoisted on the
swift cruiser Aurora. which, accom-
panied by two torpedo boats, slipped
out OF the harbor. The town was
awakened by the booming of the guns

The water has been falling at Will

bany and Salem the fall Of the fresh
ct has been about half a foot in "a
hours, and from today on the force of
the Willamette at Portland will be
less. The Columbia, on the other
hand, has apparently not yet reached
its highest stage, as the weather blu.

at Weiser, Lewiston and Riparia the
river is rising over a foot a day. IT.

Willamette begins to fall, however,
the water will be lower at Portland in
