"Outside at the striken on the Burlington road," said Mr. Arthur, "there ar» not 800 competent unemployed engineers in the country. I know this, and hare no healtatiop hi etating the fact In that case H will readily be seen that the places of the striken cannot be filled by oompetant engineers, which the charters of th* companies require. There can, thsrefore, be »o doubt of the sucosa of this strike." "Do you think there is any probability of the strike exteodiag to other western roads!" The legislation will consist of three bills making radical ohangce in the election law* of the state. One provides for a "sunset law" —that is, for the polk to be open from S. o'clock in the morning until sunset, and not to be closed between then hours. This will relate to all general, local and charter elections.Eagle Pass, Tar, March 5.—Thiscttjr on Saturday waa the sosae ot as gram am outrage as has ever been committed upon the citizen* of the United States by the aoldiare of a foreign country with which this country is at peace.

Heorept under one of the kilns, hoping to hide, but was seen. The Mexican lieutenant drew np hia man and ordered two of them to dismount and draw the man out, which they proceeded to do, drawing their pistols and hitting the deenrter over their head several times as they were doing it The lieutenant than unrolled a rope from his saddle and roped the fugitive and dragged him some distance, the three soldiers belaboring him unmercifully with their •ix-kbooters, endeavoring to get hiin to croat back to Mexico with them About this time Deputy Sheriff Shad White came up and told them to quit, or be would arrest thstn. They, in reply, drew their piatols en him, telling him to get out of their way or they would kill him. White, being unarmed, ran down to get Sheriff Cook, and in the meantime the Mexicans, leaving the deserter apparently dead and covered with wounds from knife stabs, got on their horses, and started through the town for the river as hard H* they could go. When they got near' the ford they encountered Shad White again, followed by Ed and Will Van Riper and Sheriff Cook, and a furious fusilade took place. Shad White was shot through the right hand and fell from his horse, and the horse ridden by one of the Mexican soldiers fell dead from a ball from White's Winoheeter.Washikqtoic, March ft.—In the senate to-day Chairman Allison, of the committee on appropriation*, iptands to call up for consideration the deficiency appropriation bill. W hen this baa been, completed the senate will resume consideration of the G. A. R. dimbility pension bill, which is unfinished business.

The oommfttae will aak for seven days in which to debate the case, and it ia believed that both Monday and Tuesday will be consumed by it Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday have been specially set aside for tha consideration of bills reported from the committee on Indian affairs. It is not likely, however, that mora than two of these three days will bf left for the oommittee. Among the measures to be considered is the one opening the great 8ionx Indian reservation in Dakota. Friday ts private bill day, and Saturday will be consumed with miscellaneous matters. The pension, military academy and diplomatic appropriation bills are an the calendar, but, owing to the absence of members of the committees which reported them it is not probable that any of them will be taken up during the week. Mr. Randall Intends to introduce his tariff bill to-morrow, the day on which the committee on ways and means will begin the consideration of the administration tariff bill, introduced last Thursday. - j There to an immense amount of weather j wisdom in the country. I assure you that you cannot And an old farmer anywhere who does not cock his eye at the clouds, or the birds or elsewhere and prophesy whift weather we shall have for the next twenty-four hours. I only lack patience 1 with those who seek to prognosticate the weather for weeks and months ahead, and by silly signs, or no signs at all, seek to establish their reputation as prophets. Weather wisdom should be seriously and ; carefully encouraged; for to know twelve j hours ahead whether to expect storm or clear weather, Is a matter of thousands of dollars in the crops of a single town. It to by no means a science W cunning guessing; for there are signs abundant that will vuide • careful observer. Hera is a simple forecast which I have somewhere seen and have verified: "II the sun set under clonds, expect a storm; if the ! clouds are banked to the north of the sun, expect rain; if to the south, snow, or cooler rain if It be summer. He says In his letter: "I expect no peace of mind, no rest of soul, this side the eternal sleep. If my very worst eneniy could but know the halt I have suffered, his corses would turn to blessings on bis lips. Beyond doing this simple justloe of discharging all financial obligations 1 hare no hope, no purpose in life."

His present location is not stated. "Mot at present. We are determined, if peaibie, to confine this difficulty to the road in which it originated, and I will use every legitimate effort to prevent its extending to any other road. Of course we expect the other roads to maintain their promised neutral ground in the matter, and I believe they will do it Therefore I think the strike" will be conflned to the 'Q' road, and the victory will be woo upon the merits of the claim* of the Brotherhood." iin fl»h of the labor bureau, some ot which have passed the house, will also be advanced toward a final enactment The bill providing D, and also the chief for the appointment of two juries for each county, in joint meeting at the legislature, will claim much attention, and will probably be pushed through both branches. This takes away from the sheriff all authority to select jurors. Another Defaulter Pays Up. Watching animals Is a favorite and a goad wsy of prognosticating. The electric sense, possesfttd by all creatures, makes them apprehend a storm hoars before its appearance. There are sensible electrie and atmCApherlc conditions that cause physical disturbance. Cows will bellow, and ?tten leap about. Hens will oil their feather, and express uneasiness. Cats and dogs will eat grass freely. Sheep and goats get frisky, and chase each other. Horses will stretch themselves, and gather is fence corners or un\ der shelter if possible. Peacocks scream, and guinea fowl squawk worse than ever. It is a general state of uneasiness that is observable in the pastures and about the barns. Farmers quickly observe this, and leant to guide themcsl ves accordingly. Birds are even a Setter indicator of the weather. In general they fly low before a storm, because the air being proportionately light, they get the right pressure near the ground. Owls keep up a terrible to-whooing. Sea birds fly landward, and land birds fly seaward. Swallows skim the waters as they fly. Crows are noisy and uneasy. All birds prink themselves and dress their feathers. Cranes are said to place their bills under their wings. The general symptoms are the same as with animals—restlessness and noisy behavior; but the low flying is most observable. Kansas City, Ma, March &—George Perry, a well known restaurant manager, died of heart disease Saturday night For eight years he has been engaged In business here, and only a few of his most intimate friends knew that he had a mystery in his life. Shortly before his death he said to thoss who were gathered around his bed: "My name is John J. Penderiait, oope cashier ol the Citizens1 National bank of Springfield, Ola I rejoice in the name of George Perry, however, for, awnmlng that name I left the city of Springfield one night while people were calling me a defaulter, and took a train for the west. I came to Kansas City and worked hard. I began a correspondence with the bank and eventually settled all I waa short, with interest, and am now square with the world." Pendergast was well liked, and bad a host of friends and admirers. He was generous to a fault, and was considered a philanthropist ChM Sargent also aid in substance that the Brotherhood did not dartre to extend the strike to other roads, and he did not believe it would be done. All the other companies were paying the wages asked by the engineers, and he did not believe they would give aaj material auistanoe to the Burlington, and thus compel radical measures of resistance.A.

No Little Side Door In Kftnuu City. Kansas ClTT, March 6.—For tho first time in the history of Kansas City, not a saloon was open yesterday, either front or back.

Capt. Zalinskl, of pneumatic torpedo gun notoriety, and Lieut J. W. Graydon, late of the navy, of dynamite shell fame, are the officers involved. Capt. Zalinskl, in a lecture recently delivered, asserted, or was reported to have asserted, that Oraydon's dynamite' shells frequently exploded prematurely, and that three guns had been bursted while experimenting with them, all of which Graydon, in a communication to the secretary of war, pronounces unqualifiedly falas and to his business interests.

The Mexican lieutenant drew np hia man and ordered two of them to dismount and draw the man out, which they proceeded to do, drawing their pistols and hitting the deenrter over their head several times as they were doing it The lieutenant than unrolled a rope from his saddle and roped the fugitive and dragged him some distance, the three soldiers belaboring him unmercifully with their •ix-kbooters, endeavoring to get hiin to croat back to Mexico with them About this time Deputy Sheriff Shad White came up and told them to quit, or be would arrest thstn. They, in reply, drew their piatols en him, telling him to get out of their way or they would kill him. White, being unarmed, ran down to get Sheriff Cook, and in the meantime the Mexicans, leaving the deserter apparently dead and covered with wounds from knife stabs, got on their horses, and started through the town for the river as hard H* they could go. When they got near' the ford they encountered Shad White again, followed by Ed and Will Van Riper and Sheriff Cook, and a furious fusilade took place. Shad White was shot through the right hand and fell from his horse, and the horse ridden by one of the Mexican soldiers fell dead from a ball from White's Winoheeter.Washikqtoic, March ft.—In the senate to-day Chairman Allison, of the committee on appropriation*, iptands to call up for consideration the deficiency appropriation bill.

It is not likely, however, that mora than two of these three days will bf left for the oommittee. Among the measures to be considered is the one opening the great 8ionx Indian reservation in Dakota. Friday ts private bill day, and Saturday will be consumed with miscellaneous matters.

I assure you that you cannot And an old farmer anywhere who does not cock his eye at the clouds, or the birds or elsewhere and prophesy whift weather we shall have for the next twenty-four hours. I only lack patience 1 with those who seek to prognosticate the weather for weeks and months ahead, and by silly signs, or no signs at all, seek to establish their reputation as prophets. Weather wisdom should be seriously and ; carefully encouraged; for to know twelve j hours ahead whether to expect storm or clear weather, Is a matter of thousands of dollars in the crops of a single town. It to by no means a science W cunning guessing; for there are signs abundant that will vuide • careful observer. Hera is a simple forecast which I have somewhere seen and have verified: "II the sun set under clonds, expect a storm; if the ! clouds are banked to the north of the sun, expect rain; if to the south, snow, or cooler rain if It be summer. He says In his letter: "I expect no peace of mind, no rest of soul, this side the eternal sleep. If my very worst eneniy could but know the halt I have suffered, his corses would turn to blessings on bis lips.

To show you that we are sincere, we say that if you are in the territory covered by our agency and are practicing law, we should give your application for attorneyship first consideration." His present location is not stated. "Mot at present. We are determined, if peaibie, to confine this difficulty to the road in which it originated, and I will use every legitimate effort to prevent its extending to any other road. Of course we expect the other roads to maintain their promised neutral ground in the matter, and I believe they will do it Therefore I think the strike" will be conflned to the 'Q' road, and the victory will be woo upon the merits of the claim* of the Brotherhood." iin fl»h of the labor bureau, some ot which have passed the house, will also be advanced toward a final enactment The bill providing D, and also the chief for the appointment of two juries for each county, in joint meeting at the legislature, will claim much attention, and will probably be pushed through both branches. This takes away from the sheriff all authority to select jurors. Another Defaulter Pays Up. Watching animals Is a favorite and a goad wsy of prognosticating. The electric sense, possesfttd by all creatures, makes them apprehend a storm hoars before its appearance. There are sensible electrie and atmCApherlc conditions that cause physical disturbance. Cows will bellow, and ?tten leap about. Hens will oil their feather, and express uneasiness. Cats and dogs will eat grass freely. Sheep and goats get frisky, and chase each other. Horses will stretch themselves, and gather is fence corners or un\ der shelter if possible. Peacocks scream, and guinea fowl squawk worse than ever. It is a general state of uneasiness that is observable in the pastures and about the barns. Farmers quickly observe this, and leant to guide themcsl ves accordingly. Birds are even a Setter indicator of the weather. In general they fly low before a storm, because the air being proportionately light, they get the right pressure near the ground. Owls keep up a terrible to-whooing. Sea birds fly landward, and land birds fly seaward. Swallows skim the waters as they fly. Crows are noisy and uneasy. All birds prink themselves and dress their feathers. Cranes are said to place their bills under their wings. The general symptoms are the same as with animals—restlessness and noisy behavior; but the low flying is most observable. Kansas City, Ma, March &—George Perry, a well known restaurant manager, died of heart disease Saturday night For eight years he has been engaged In business here, and only a few of his most intimate friends knew that he had a mystery in his life. Shortly before his death he said to thoss who were gathered around his bed: "My name is John J. Penderiait, oope cashier ol the Citizens1 National bank of Springfield, Ola I rejoice in the name of George Perry, however, for, awnmlng that name I left the city of Springfield one night while people were calling me a defaulter, and took a train for the west. I came to Kansas City and worked hard. I began a correspondence with the bank and eventually settled all I waa short, with interest, and am now square with the world." Pendergast was well liked, and bad a host of friends and admirers. He was generous to a fault, and was considered a philanthropist ChM Sargent also aid in substance that the Brotherhood did not dartre to extend the strike to other roads, and he did not believe it would be done. All the other companies were paying the wages asked by the engineers, and he did not believe they would give aaj material auistanoe to the Burlington, and thus compel radical measures of resistance.A.
