SUB-TREASURY SITE
DELEGATIONS ARE NOW AT WORK
 IN WASHINGTON.
Contest Appears to Have Narrowed Down to Birmingham aud At Ianta, But Colonel Wiley is stilI Hopeful.

Washington. Dec. e.-(Special )-The proposed new subtreasury for the States of Alabama, Tennessee, Geor- eia, South Carolina and Florida Is still in A tangled condition.
 Tonight it. does not seem as if any thing can be done, for the reason that the Atlanta men, now in town. are tic ing up the situation. The fight seems really to be between Atlanta and Bir- mingham. Among the Alabamians now in the city working for the interests of their State are ex-Governor John ston, E. W. Barrett, c. K. Allison. Col. Ed L.. Russell and G. W. Pratt.
 At 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon there Is to be a caucus at the Capitol. held by the various delegations. Then pos sibly something definite may be reach ed. but. from the talk heard tonight, 1t appears that everything is at sea-
 Tuesday the Ways and Means Com mittee of the House will give hear ing to the delegations.
 Congressman Wiley has been active ly at work and, of course. Is doing ev- erything in his power for Montgomery, but the combinations that have been formed do not take the Capital City into consideration.
 Most people have an idea that If anything Is done in the near future the proposed sub-Treasury will be lo- cated at either Atlanta or Birmingham.

 MntlOn.

San Antonio, Texas. Jan. s.---Milton D. Purdy, assistant to the United states Attorney General, completed his labors here in connection with his investiga- ton into the Brownsville outrage to- day, and left tonight for Houston, where he will continue his examination of witnesses.
 MT. Purdy was engaged today in pe- rusing the testimony of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Baker and Captains D. J. Baker and Hanson Ely of the 26th Infantry. and comparing 1t to the more or less cumulative mass of evidence that had been given him during his stay here.
 Mir. Purdy expresses satisfaction with the results of his investigation. He says:
 "Regarding my work from the stand point of the importance of the evil dence that I have secured through the testimony of persons more or less fa- miliar with the Brownsville occurrence, I can say that my efforts here already have been rewarded"
 Further than that he would not say.
 Mir Purdy will spend a day or two in Houston. then will proceed at once to Washington.

sel for the Oregon Railroad and Nav igation Company. last night admitted that representatives of the commit tees have been negotiating. but he has not heard whether any finaI agreement has been reached.
 However, from the reports from Se- attle, which indicate that the local end of the agreement at that place has been concluded, there seems to be little doubt that the Hartman and Hill in- terests will end their animosity in the Northwest.
 If any agreement has been reached 1t means that Hill Is to have unob- structed entrance into Portland and an opportunity to acquire adequate ter minal facilities; that Hartman will re- ceive similar treatment in Seattle from the hands of Hill and probably that the railroad war along the north bank of the Columbia River will cease.

clerks Have Had Enough

Houston. Tax. Jan. 6.--The strike of the railway clerks inaugurated about the middle of October against the Southern Pacific Railway Company on it's, lines between New Orleans and Fl Paso, covering what Is known as the Atlantic System. is now said to be prac- tically at an end.
 Although the strike has not been finally declared off. numerous instances of strikers applying for their old jobs have been reported in this city and as far as could be ascertained, Dme of the strikers have already been reinstated. 1t was likewise learned that some of the men who have made application to be reinstated will go back to work to- morrow.
 The probabilities are that most of the striking clerks, or most of those that apply for their old positions will be put back to work by the railroad officials.

STRIKE AT AN END
F1REMEN OF SOUTHERN .ACIFIC
 WILL GO TO WORK.
Question of Jurisdiction Over Switch Engineers Is settled and the Men wilI Resume Their Places
 Today.

Houston, Tex, Jan. e.--The strike of the firemen on the Southern Pacific is at an end. The men go back to work tomorrow at noon The basis of set clement was reached tonight during & conference between Vice Grand Master Shea, for the firemen. and Vice Grand Master Wills. for the engineers, The railway officials had no part in The final conclusion of the trouble.
 The principal contention of the fire men, when the strike was declared. covered the right of Jurisdiction over the switch engineers. Tn other words, the fremen's organization demanded that fireman's seniority as an engt- neef dates from the time he became fireman, The engineers date their sem iority ovr engineers from the time the engineer becomes an engineer.
 Tn receding from their demands some days aas. As to Jurisdiction over engt- neefs, fsiemberst of. the fireuner's broth" erhood 1t was thought that 4 basis of settlement was reached, but there arose matters over which none of the parties to the controversy had absolute control.
 In it's contract with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers the company gives no Jurisdiction over engineers to that brotherhood and the company could make no move in the matter. Tho engineers brotherhood was uQ agalnst the proposition of protecting those en- gineers who had taken the places of the strikers. To all purposes these engineers who had gone out on strike had lost their seniority to the engineers who took their places.
 The officials of the firemen's brother hood, having receded from the demands they made when the strike was de- clared, or the demands on which the strike was declared. felt that if there was a settlement they should protect those engineers of their organization who left their places and secure for them their standing on the seniority lists at the time of the strike. It was q very delicate problem to be solved and is not fully solved as yet, but has been left to the general committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers to decide.
 It was learned tonight that the agree ment covering this basis of settlement had been signed by the officials of the two brotherhoods and that the flremen will go back to work tomorrow at noon, pending the solution of their se- nirity by the committee of locomotive engineers.
 MT. Shea of the firemen's organiza- ton stated that no settlement had been reached and denied that any documents had been signed.
