Dynamite, which II placed end 10

100 miles in length, will be purchased
by the isthmian canal commission In a
few days for use in the isthmian canai
construction during the fiscal year De-
ginning on July 1, 1909. Bids for H.

school boys yesterday brought about
the arrest Of three men believed to be
the robbers who last Saturday held up
the Overland Limited train on the
Union Pacific at Omaha, and woman

looted mail pouches. To these three
boys and to their teacher probably will

Union Pacific railroad il the prisoners
prove to be the men wanted. TO the
sharp eyes of the boys belong the cred
It of discovering the hidden tools OF the
robbers, and to the deductive reasoning
of Mrs Nora Freeman, a teacher, scores
of detectives ascribe the finding OF the
robbers loot. The boys found hidden
revolvers, lights and other material
used by robbers. They told their teach
er, Mrs. Freeman. She advised the po-
lice, and detectives arrested the men.
Mrs. Freeman today noted that lad
der used for reaching the attic OF the
school building had been displaced. She
sent two men into the attic, where they
found eight registered mail sacks, two
rain coats, a long top coat and pair
of overalls. Fred Tortensen and w. d.
Woods, two of the men held, were to-
night identified by Engineer Micklejohn
and Fireman Prawl.
Washington, May %: In view OF
the fact that the accuracy Of part OF
the Associated Press report OF the
speech made by Senator Daniel, in the
senate on the goth instant, in support
of a higher duty on quebracho, has
been questioned, the full text Of the
paragraph upon which the report was

Atlanta, Ga, May 90: The strike OF
the firemen on the Georgia railroad was
officially declared off at o'clock to-
day. An hour and a half later the first
train after the resumption Of service
pulled out Of Augusta with a negro fire
man in the cab. The exact terms OF
settlement are not disclosed, but a
statement made says the conditions are
eminently satisfactory to both sides.
The terms of settlement, it is learned
are substantially as follows: Men re-
turn to work under conditions existing
at the time the strike began until final
adjustment Is made. All negro firemen
at terminal stations to be dispensed
with. All discharged Brotherhood fire.
men to be re-instated. Other questions
are to be discussed tonight, and If not
adjusted, will be settled by arbitration
under the Erdman act, which provides
for the appointment Of one arbitrator
by each side, and II these two cannot
agree, the selection Of a third party
will be made by the two arbitrators
to decide the matter. 1t Is conceded
the firemen won two main points in
the issue by getting negro firemen al
terminals out and in having discharg-
ed men reinstated. The three other
points yet to be decided are as follows:
First: Whether negro firemen will be
eliminated from the railroad. Second:

negroes shall be employed. Third:
Seniority of negro fireman over white
firemen. 1t is generally understood that
the railroad agrees to recognize the Sc
