UNION MEN LOSE
STRIKE At BUTTE
Newspaper Offices to Resume Publ.
cation at Once, the Employees
Agreeing to Former Wage
Scale

BUTTE, Mont. March 27.-Having
adjusted all differencets with the labor
unions the newspapers of Butte and
Anaconda will resume publication at
once.
The Inter Mountain Evening News
will appear tomorrow afternoon and
the Butte Miner and Anaconda Stan
dard Friday morning. Three year con-
tracts have been signed by the COM
mittees from the typographical union,
the pressmens, the stereotypers and
mailerS unions.
The suspension, which lasted for six
weeks, was precipitated by the press
mems union demanding an increased
scale of wages for its members.
The demand was refused by the pub
fishers and suspension followed. The
printers refused to go to work after
having been advised that they would
return to work at the old scale, five
dollars day for day work and $3.50
for night work, or not at all.
The printers refused to recede from
the prevailing scale of $3.50 for day
work and $500 for night work and a
lockout resulted. The printers then
made a determined fight but lost by
being commanded to return to work by
the international Typographical union.

HE HAS ENGAGED
MORE ATTORNEYS
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.--Abra-
ham Ruef in a statement today admit
ted that additional counsel will be re-
tained by him before the cases of ex-
tortion against him go to trial in Judge
Dunnes department of the superior
court. They are on the calendar for
next Tuesday. Ruef said:
"All Of my present counsel-Messrs.
Shortridge, Ach, Fairall and Murphy
will be retained and additional counsel
will be engaged by me, but who they
will be am not now prepared to state.
"'They have not been selected. The
published statement that overtures
have been made to former Governor
Henry T. Gage or to d. NJ. Delmas. the
latter now engaged in the Thaw trial,
is wholly untrue. Governor Gage, it is
he has not been asked to join in my
defense nor has his name or that of
Delmas been discussed"
Ruef declared that his confinement
by Elisor Biggy in a room of the St.
Francis hotel, whore he had been quar-
tered for month under close guard,
has not worn upon him in the least.
"On the contrary" he said, II weighed
myself this morning and found my
weight to be nine pounds heavier than
when / was turned over to Bigsy's )
keep"
For the first time since his incarcera-
tion Ruef was yesterday taken about
the city by the elisor to attend to some
of his private business, mainly building
operations, and today the trip was re-
peated.
Though Ruef declares himself to be
in the best of health and spirits, his
eyes are bloodshot as much from loss
of sleep, ana his face when In repose
wears worried, downcast look.

SACRAMENTO, March 27.-Reports
from down river sections today are all
encouraging. From this city to Rio
Vista the water has fallen eight inches
in the past twenty-four hours and is
still falling.
Water in the Yolo basin and in the
overfiowed islands is receding and with
the clear weather and a prospect OF its
continuance farmers are taking heart.
Steamers from this city have sue
ceeded in bringing all live sotek, farm
utensils, furniture, etc, from the flood
districts to places of safety.
The falling Of the water indicates
that many of the breaks were not as
serious as was at first supposed. At
several only the crown of the levees
went out and repairs will not be ex-
pensive. Once the streams go down the
water will soon be pumped from the
islands and the breaks repaired.
The town of Washington, across the
river from this city, is in no danger Of
an avalanche of water Rocky Point,
q half mile above the village, is hold
ing nicely and unless the American
sends down another flood to shoot
across the river at right angles and
smash against the point the levee will
hold.
Merritt, Grand, Sutter and Sherman
islands, containing more than $4,000
acres of rich lands, are safe, their
levees standing from three to five feet
above the water. The only danger to
them is that a high northwest wind
might send in choppy waves from the
overflow and cut into and through the
embankments.
The water in this city measured 24.2
feet at the government gauge at 6
o clock this evening, or five feet and
four inches below high water mark.

SACRAMENTO, March 27.-Engine
No 1883 and three coaches of the
Marysville local jumped the track at
9:22 o'clock this morning about five
miles north of Roseville, seriously in
turing Conductor John Connors, En-
gineer Thomas O'Connell. Fireman
Monte Schuman and two passengers
Ralph Hubbard and J. loft.
The train was going at an ordinary
rate of speed over an embankment
generally regarded as safe. No reason
for the derailment has yet been dis
covered.
The engine left the track first crash
ing over the embankment and rolling
completely over, dragging mail coach
and two passenger coaches with it.
TIE engineer was hurled thirty feet
out of the engine cab into the water
beside the levee.
He was found to have sustained Sc
rious, perhaps fatal injuries. The
fireman was pinioned under the wreck
and scalded frightfully about the back
and shoulders.
Conductor ConnorS had his right
arm crushed. Ralph Hubbard was
scalded and hurt internally. j. loft
was badly bruised and his right arm
was broken. The rest of the passen-
gers were Jared and bruised, but none
was seriously hurt.
Coaches Wrecked
The engine and coaches were COM
pletely wrecked. The engine was
smashed and twisted resembling a
heap of scrap iron.
DIR. r. Wah Hing, a Chinese physician
of Sacramento, was on the train and
rendered valuable service to the in
jured. Father Seares of Lincoln was
also on the train and ministered to
the injured.
Word was sent to Roseville and Sac

engine and relief train were hurried
to the scene. After the injured had
received the best treatmnt that could
be afforded them Under the circum-
stances, Carl Dweeney Of Sacramento
and Father Seares took up a collection
of a substantial sum among the pas
sengers for the relief of the injured.
The members of the crew are at a
loss to account for the accident. The
engine was not travelling at high rate
of speed and the embankment was
perfectly firm.
