Boston, Mass., January 4. — President
Perkins of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad was seen to-day with re-
gard to the reported settlement of the Q.
strike. Mr. Perkins stated that he had no
official knowledge of the matter, and had
received ^nothing in relation to the strike.
Mr. Perkins said that It seemed the news-
papers knew more about the business than
the company uoes. A meeting of directors
is now in session.
the report confirmed.
Chicago, III., January 4.—The Evening
Journal says: It was announced at the Bur-
lington headquarters shortly after 3 o'clock
this afternoon that an agreement had been
reached between the company and represen-
tatives of the brotherhood of locomotive en-
gineers, and tnat the strike was to be at
once declared off. A higli official of the
company confirmed the report. He said
that while lie could not give the particulars
of the settlement until after the conference
was over, he would say that the agreement
reached was satisfactory to both sides.
Only minor points of no real importance re-
main to be acted upon, and as soon as a con-
clusion is reached official notification will
be made.
the strike settled.
Members of the conference met again at
3 o'clock and remained in session until 5.30.
Then the doors of the conference room were
opened and representatives of the Asso-
ciated Press and of the dailv papers were
admitted. To them Vice-president Stone,
in the presence of Chairman Cavener, and
other members of the conference, read the
following statement : "The Burlington strike
has beeu settled. By the terms of the reso-
lution under which the brotherhood com-
mittee were appointed at the Richmond
convention, they were instructed to report
to Chief Arthur any settlements which they
might reach as soon as made, and the cum-
in it tee requested us not. to make the terms
of settlement public until they should have
an opportunity to acquaint Mr. Arthur
with them, because they thought it only pro-
per and courteousfor him to hear themflrst
through the committee instead of through
the nubile press. We have told them that we
would scrupulously respect their wishes,
and they have In return promised that Mr.
Arthur will advise rae as soon as he receives
it, so that I can acquaint our peoplo and tho
general public with them."
When Mr. Stone had finished reading this
statement Mr. Cavener said that there was
nothing to add to it, nnd both of these gen-
tlemen declined to enter into further de-
tails. When the Associated Press reporter
asked Chairman Cavener whether the com-
mittee would proceed to Cleveland to lay
agreements before Mr. Arthur he replied
that the !>om:,rttte wou'<' dm la hi Chi-
cago for s. :ie da «, ,

to be employed to acquaint Mr. Arthur with
the result Mr. Cavener replied evasively,
but clearly indieated that it would be tele-
graphed; when in reply to the (jtperyns to
how soon it would reach him he said that
it would be iu Mr. Arthur's hands to-night.
The rumor was published here late this
afternoon to the effect that Chief Arthur
had been telegraphed to come to Chicago.
Mr. Cavener says that there is no truth in
this statement, and that Mr, Arthur's
presence is not required.
Of tlia Chicago Times Arrested, Charged
with Criminal Libel.
Chicago, 111., January 4.—Late this after-
noon warrants were sworn out by Police In-
spector Boufleld for the arrest of J. J. West,
proprietor, and Jo Dunlap, city editor, of
the Times, charging them with criminal
libel for the publication this morning of an
interview with the wife of Detective Loen-
stein, in which she charged her husband
with acting as a "fenco" for thioves, and al-
leging that Police Captain Schaack was
cognizant of tho fact. Mr. Dunlaj) has just
boeu arrested in his room in the Times
building and has been taken to the Harri-
Bon street station. On arriving at the sta
tion Mr. Dunlap was thrown into jail and
treated otherwise with exceedingly scant
courtesy. The space behind the bars in
which lie was confined is natrow, dark and
noisome, one of the pens which hold daily
an assortment of criminals from somo of
tho worst quarters tft the city. At 7.30 p.
m. Mr. Dunlap w.is still literally in durance
vile. The police had not yet laid hands on
Mr. West.
Mr. Dunlap remained in the cell until 8
o'clock, when he was released on bail. At
about the same time Mr. West, who had
heard of tho issuance of the warrant, ap
peared at tho Harrison street station with
his bondsmen. The warrant of arrest
was at the Central station, and some delay
was caused by the necessity of sending
for it.
No sooner had Dunlap and West been re-
leased than they wero again placed undyr
arrest. The charge was the same, but in
this case the complainant
Schaack. Bonds wero promptly furnished
on tho second charge and the two editors
were allowed to loavo the station, Mr.
Dunlap when taken into custody was not
allowed to tarry even a moment to put the
affairs of his department in the hands of
subordinates. At the police station the desk
sergeants were intimating that ho iniaht
make himself comfortable in tho office
while awaiting bondsmen, when instruc-
tions came direct from police headquarters
to put the prisoner behind tho bars in-
stanter. The order was given by Inspector
Bonfield in person.

The home delegation have finally, aftjr

Tho members of the 4S,

printed here this morning saying that
"there Is no organized opposition to the re-
election of Coke to th&Uuited States senate,
but it is apparent that ho is not at all
wanted," and that "the discontent may be-
come so great as to force a man into the
field against him."
This dispatch purports to be a special
from Austin to a .st. Louis paper.
Ail of the delegation assert that there is
no truth in the story, and say that the in-
formation received by them from their con-
stituents is to the effect that tho senator
will have no opposition before the legis-
lature. They attach very little Importance

important information.
St.Louis, Mo., January 4.—[Special]—The
following information from a Washington
correspondent has baen published in a local
paper: The approaching investigation of
Supervising Architect Freret, under the
resolution of Senator Teller, is naturally
drawing attention to some of the public
buildings which are in process of construc-
tion. Among the buildings which will
doubtless be cited during the investigation
is the one at Galveston, Tex. This build-
ing was originally designed in the office of
the supervising architect by Ernst F. Laub,
now assistant superintendent of the Brook-
lyn public building, and th6 design
was accepted as unusually excellent.
Mr. Bell, who was then supervising archi-
tect, detailed N. J. Clayton as superinten-
dent of construction of the Galveston build-
ing. Clayton, who is a prominent and re-
putable architect, was intrusted with tho
Creparation of the working drawings of the
uilding. They were carefully prepared at
considerable cost, and after completion
were in due time forwarded to Mr. Bell.
Chief Engineer Miller pronounced them
perfect, and in a long communication pays
a high compliment t» Clayton's ability and
skill.
About this time Bell was superseded by
Freret, Miller had been appointed by Bell,
although a democrat. Bell was a republi-
can "hold over." When Freret came into
office Miller, assuming to curry favor with
his new chief, suggested reform in various
quarters. He thought that it would be
proper to undo some of Bell's work. The
Galveston drawing was selected among
others as an example for reform. It was
concluded to do this drawing over, and al-
though Miller only a few weeks before had
declared it perfect, he advised a new draw-
ing. Then the butchering began. An archi-
tect named John Moser was intrusted with
the work. Ho had already perpetrated an
architectural nightmare on the people of
Detroit, which the Detroiters refused ab-
solutely to accept as their public buildiuu.
Moser put in considerable time, more or
less valuable, and finally presented his j
drawings. They were so bad that they
had to be rejected and destroyed as utterly
worthless.
The Galveston drawings aro now being
done for the third time, and it is not ab-
solutely certain when "they will be finished.
Meantime the public money has lioeu squan-
dered for new drawings just because the
is expected, wi

nection of any European government with
the construction orcontrol of anyship canal
across the isthmus of Darien, or across Cen-
tral America, and must regard any such
connection or control as injurious to the
just, rights and interests of the Vnited
States and against their welfare. Resolved,
that the president be requested to communi-
cate this expression of the views of congress
to the governments of the countries of
Europe. Tiie resolution was placed on the
calendar, aud Mr. Sherman gave notice that
he would to-morrow ask ior its considera-
tion, and he hoped that it would receive the
unanimous approval of the senate.
The senate "resumed consideration of the
tariff bill. Paragraphs 821 and 32*3 were

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
blaine will winter at washington.
Washington, January 4.—Representative
Wm. Walter Phelps said to an Associated
Press reporter to-day that Mr. Blaine was
here for the purpose of securiug a house for
the winter for himself and family, who will
come on as soon as arrangements for their
comfort are made. Mr. Phelps was asked
if Blaine was going to Indianapolis. He re-
plied: "He has no thoughtof going there."
yellow fever on the yantic.
The navy department has been informed
that yellow fever lias appeared on the Yan-
tic, and that she ha3 left Port-au-Prince for
home. The dispatch did not state whether
any officers had been taken with the fever,
and in the absenco of such information it is
believed that none of them are down with
it. Admiral Luce also stated that the Ga-
lena, after coaling at Jamaica, would go
back to Port-au-Pciueo to look after mat-
ters there, and that the Haytien Republic
remained there awaiting a crew to take lier
northward. The development of tho fever
on board the Yantlc so soon after
her arrival in Haytien waters and the fol-
lowing experience of the Boston indicates
that any northern vessel going to thai port
is likely to be similarly afflicted. It is very
unpleasant new3 for naval officers, as some
of our ships are likely to be needed there
for somo time to come. It is expected that
the United States steamer Ossipyiee, now
at Norfolk, will sail for Port-au-Prince in a
few days.

The president to-day transmitted to con-

families of certain Japanese subjects who
were killed on the island Inisima in March,
1887, by guns from the United States steam-
ship Omaha while the boat was engaged in
target practice.
The secretary of state lia»received a letter

superintendent of the money order di visios
of the postoffice, Robert J. Johnson, was
alone in his office. A few minutes sooner
or later others would have been present and
the robbery would have been impossible.
At the right moment a gentlemanly ap-
pearing man stepped up to the money order
window and said to the superintendent that
a gentleman was in a buggy in front of tho
postoffice who wished to speak a word witlt
him. Mr. Johnson went to the window, and
opening it told the man that as ho wm
alone it would lie impossible for him Do
leave the office. The rascal, however, pleaded
lameuess, and used such persuasive lan-
guage that Mr. Johnson finally consented
to speak with him. He passed out, care-
fully closing tho door with a spring lock
behind him. He was absent only a moment,
but during that time the confederate had
opened tho door, secured the money and
traversed 140 feet of space. On his way out
along the main corridor he must have
passed the returning superintendent.
Mr. Johnson was appointed to the position
of superintendent of the money order de-
partment through the influence of Aquila
Jone3, son of the Indianapolis postmaster.
It i3 customary for a person holding this
responsible position to furnish bonds, but
str:fngeiy enough the postoffice officials
think Mr. Johnson filed no bond. This
would have made the Indianapolis post-
master responsible for the money stolen had
not his son, feeling himself morally, if not
legally, Johnson's bondsman, come forward
aud volunteered to make the amount good.
It is thought that a clew has been found
which will lead to the arrest of the thieves.
