threatened at one time to produce
a crisis in the affairs Of the nation.
matters seem to be assuming a more
pacific aspect throughout Italy. Dis

called off at Milan and Bologna and
work has been resumed In both cities,
The call for a general strike at Turin
and other places met with only q

Der Of pensioners on the rolls at the
end of the fiscal year 1907 as COM
pared with the year previous is the
feature of the report Of Pension Com

value Of the pension roll; at that date
was s14O,,85O;88O. This is greater
by 4,6l3,l3 than the value of the

they have not had room to handle.
Their magnificent new building
will be erected especially for the
establishment of an up-to-date

COAL OWNERS IN CONFERENCE.
Union Pacific and Other Companies
Prepare to Meet Union Demands.

Omaha, Neb., July 15.--Preparatory
to meeting the representatives Of the
Miners union in Denver, Monday and
Tuesday, six mine owners, represent
ing Wyoming coal properties, closed
an extensive conference with the I'm
ion Pacific Coal company officials late
last night. Under an agreement reach
ed three weeks ago with the union
men. the union was recognized and
the matter of a wage scale was de-
ferred until the Denver meeting.
The mine owners have not been no.
titled what the miners demands will
be, but they know about what to ex-
pect. They would make no statement,
but one Of them said that they were
prepared to meet every point raised by
the miners. They have been given to
understand that the miners will de-
mand that all departments be put on
an absolute union basis.
The owners are not prepared to
make all the concessions demanded,
and it is stated that they may go so
far as to stand a strike rather than
give in on all the points demanded by
the union.

Will Save Six Miles.

James Morton, a civil engineer work
ing under Chief Engineer Huntley of
the Union Pacific with a corps of men,
has just completed surveys for anoth-
err big cutoff witch the Union Pacific
is planning between Robinson and
Point of Rocks, IN the main line Of
the road, between Rawlins and Green
River, says the Cheyenne Leader.
Heavy Piece of Work.
The track between these points is
1877 miles in length and by the pro-
posed cutoff will be reduced to 81
miles in length. The cutoff, however,
will be one of the heaviest pieces Of
engineering work attempted by the
Union Pacific in Wyoming since the
completion of the great Sherman hill
cutoff and tunnel, when Hartman
spent S., 1000, 900 to save one-half mile
in distance over Sherman mountain,
but materially reduced the heavy
grade.
Part of Huge Scheme.
1t is understood this big cutoff will
form part of the great improvements
planned by the Union Pacific in Wyo-
ming this year where new track work,
costing over s2,OO0,O 900, is soon to be
commenced between Rawlins and
Green River.

Extension Of Burlington.

The Burlington railroad is extend
ing its line toward Ogden and further
west. The latest step is an extension
from Guernsey to Grin Junction. run
ming parallel with the Colorado and
Southern, only on the opposite side of
the North Platte river. Surveys have
already been made and rejected be-
cause they were too circuitous and
would make high speed impossible.
Orders have been issued to the en-
cheering corps to survey a straight
line. regardless of expense. This wSl
necessitate trestles, bridges, tunnels
and amost every engineering trick
known to the business. Guernsey is
the present terminus of the Burling-
ton and the people northwest of there
are jubilant over the prospect Of a new
road.
