Union Engineers for Burlington.

Chicago.-The management of the
Burlington railroad, after twenty
years opposition, has recognized the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and has signed the first wage scale
with that organization since the great
strike of the engineers in 1885.
The hostility of the Burlington road
to the brotherhood was the result of
the engineers strike of 1SS5-6. when
1,400 men deserted their engines
Paul Morton, then in the Burlington's
service, had charge of the strike for
the railroad and won the most stub
born battle in the history of the
brotherhood.

Famine Of Coal Cars.

Denver-J. ID. Jones, state inspector
OF coal mines. who has returned from
II trip over the state. reports that
there is famine in cars to take the
ore from the mines The Colorado
agricultural crop has been so large
this year that 1t has taken most of the
cars to ship 1t out of the state and the
coal mines are the sufferers.
1t is estimated that the total output
of coal in the state during the car
famine will be decreased about twenty
per cent. This may be made up
when the crops are disposed Of At
present many mines of the state can
work but three days week. and then
they do not run at full capacity.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
general tone to the market here was
rather better the past week than 1t
has been for some time, and dealers
are beginning to feel that the worst is
over Receipts have dropped off con-
siderably at all points, and it is gen
orally believed that the run from now
on Will not be so heavy, and that there
Will be slight reaction in prices
The quality of the cattle on sale here
last week was fair, but nothing extra
Buyers were plentiful and the de-
mand good, but unfavorable advices
from eastern points made the trade a
little slow early in the week. The
late trading was more active and
prices on this market closed the week
strong to dime higher on good cattle
and fully steady on the poorer kinds.
Beef steers were scarce and the, mar
ket quiet.
There was a good demand for the
best and packers were unable to get
as many as they would have liked.
Cows were also scarce and good ones
sold well. The demand was fair for
the medium kinds, but not very strong.
Bulls were wanted, especially those
suitable for feeding purposes, and buy
erS would nave taken good many
more had they been offered. Veals
were quiet and the market a little
draggy. The demand for feeders and
stockers was good.
The unfavorable condition of the
Eastern markets during the first few
days of the week had the effect of
making the trade here a little slug
gish, but the general tone was much
better during the last few days and
the week closed in very good shape,
with prices stronger to a dime higher.
The supply of hogs was very good
and they moved well, but packers com
plain that they are not getting enough
of the light-weights. AT this time of
the year the demand is much the best
for the lighter hogs, but the bulk of
those coming now are heavy. Prices
are dime to 15c lower than week
ago.
Sheep receipts for the week just
past were over 10000 head, making the
tota, for the year thus far over 600,-
600. Most of these We're going through
to the feed lots and were not offered
here, but several punches went on sale
and were closed out readily, as the
demand is good. Prices are a little
lower than a week ago

CONTEMPT CASE.
Senator Patterson Files His Answer in
Supreme Court Proceedings.

Denver.-The News of Tuesday
morning says: The answer of Sena-
tor Patterson in the contempt pro-
ceedings against him in the Supreme
Court was filed yesterday at 2:30
O'Clock. The further proceedings will
await the movements of the attorney
general. That officer indicated when
the motion to quash the information
was decided that he would insist upon
speedy and final action in the case.
Senator Patterson's attorneys will
probably be notified by him to-day the
steps he proposes to take.
"The answer speaks for itself. In
1t Senator Patterson justifies the pub
lication of the cartoon and articles
that are the foundation for the con
tempt proceedings. 1t is review OF
the extraordinary political and judicial
proceedings of the past fifteen months,
in which the Supreme Court played no
inconsiderable part. The News is
content to place the document in full
before the public and to allow its
readers to form their own conclusions
as TO the justification for the cartoon
and articles in question"
In commenting on Senator Patter
sons answer the Republican says:
The answer contains specific charges
against the Supreme Court which at
tack 1t as sound institution. It
either stands as inimical to individual
interests or Senator Patterson has
placed himself in most unfortunate
position. So grave and far reaching
are the charges that they have no
business in an answer for contempt.
If they are true. they should furnish
the basis for impeachment proceed
ings."

RUSSIAN STRIKES ENDED.
Both Railroad Men and Mechanics De-

decided to call off the industrial strike
Monday at noon, claiming that great
victory had been achieved and that the
lives of 600 Cronstadt mutineers have
been saved.
A manifesto has been issued by the
workmen's council, declaring that the
government was compelled to yield to
the workmens demands with regard
to the Cronstadt mutineerS. 1t invites
the working classes of all Russia to
sustain the protest of the St. Peters
burg proletariat against martial law,
capital punishment and uprisings of
the black hundred" 1t says:
THE council of workmen calls on
sensible workmen to spread the revo-
lutionary propaganda in the ranks of
the army and navy. and to take up
military organization with the working
masses in order when armed, organ
lied and combined, to offer battle to
the effete and tottering government"

THE strike of the st. Petersburg
railroad men has shown the govern

ures like the death penalty will always
meet the active resistance of the work
ing classes. The strike has shown that
our power is growing, and if later the
committee finds it necessary to offer
the government decisive battle, we
will conquer.
Comrades, grid yourselves for the
struggle. When it is found necessary,
all the railroads in Russia will strike

twenty-five officers of the guard

committee of Social Democrats at an
aristocratic residence on the English
quay last night and to have informed
the committee of the progress being
made by the revolutionary sentiment

September and a trip to the isthmus to
enable the members to form better
idea of the physical difficulties.
The members Of the board are men
of the greatest reputation in their line
OF work. France, Germany and Hol
land sent their most eminent special
lists at the request of this government
At the beginning it was evident thai
a majority of the members were in
favor of a sea-level canal. Their point
of view was that even if it cost more
than a lock canal and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti-
mately be of greater use, as it woull
enable ships to make much shorto-
trip than if they were obliged to gu
through three or four locks. The mi
nority wanted to see the canal bull
in as short time as possible an.
with the least cost, declaring that 3
few hours longer for the trip through
the isthmuS made little or no differ
ence.
One of the members gave this eX-
PLANTATION for his way of voting: 1T
may be that several of us will not see
the sea-level canal finished in our life
time, as it will take considerably
longer than ten years. But, then, we
have the satisfaction to know that for
all the generations to follow we have
made the shortest and most practical
way of communication between the Pa
cific and Atlantic, and as long as we
had to decide on a question for all time
we do not think that few years more
or less makes a very important diff
ference. That is the way our party
thought about 1t, and whatever may
be said in favor or against it, we have,
after the most careful study, given an
opinion as we saw our way to do it."

DELEGATES BANQUETED.
Gathering in Denver Discussed Impor.
tant Western Measures.

Denver, Colo.-Colorado's congress
sional delegation was feted Sat
urday day night at the Brown Palace
hotel by the Denver Chamber of Com
merce and the Denver Real Estate Ex-
change. The occasion was intended
as a meeting for the purpose of dis
cussing the national legislative needs
of the state and West, and the occa-
sion was appropriate on the eve of the
departure of the members for Wash
ington for the opening Of Congress.
All the members were present except
ing Congressman Bonynge and Hogg,
who were already in the East.
kilograms of regret were read from
Congressman Bonynge, who is in New
Jersey; Senator Smoot of Utah, Con
gressman Hoggs, who is in Washing
ton; Senator Clark of Wyoming, Con
gresham French of Idaho, Senator
Dubois of Idaho, Congressman holland
and Congressman Hayes of California.
EX-Congressman John II. Shafroth
was the first speaker and he told of
the needs of new federal building.
The receipts at the postofIice are $714,-
annually, and the expenses 1882 900, a
clear profit to the government of half
a million. To this must be added the
REVENUE TeCelDIS every year.
So inefficient is the building that the
government now rents in this city
three square feet for every one square
foot of floor space that it owns. He
urged that the commercial bodies send
delegations to Washington to back up
the delegation in it's demands.
Cen Irving Hale presented the ques-
tion of an enlarged military establish
ment at Fort Logan. He showed how
the day of small posts has gone, as
the Indians have gone. The policy is
now to house the troops near large
cities efficiently, comfortably and
economically. He demonstrated how
Denver offers the best facility for this
in the West.
Congressman F. E. Brooks re-
Sponded to the topic of protection for
the Colorado sugar industry. He is
opposed to a reduction on the sugar
tariff from the Philippines because he
believes in protecting the home indus
try first, no matter what we may owe
to any alien children that we have
adopted.
Senators Teller and Patterson made
forcible speeches in favor of these i'm
portant measures for the benefit Of

was used to raze buildings in the path
of the fire.
Buildings were pulled down by cables

effort appeared to produce no effect on
the fire. The flames licked up every
thing until they reached an open space
twenty-five feet wide with veneer
brick wall across the space. Here the
fire stopped. The burned district will
be rebuilt Immediately, according to
