Meeting, of the etrikera will be held tomorrow to ratify the actios taken tonight by Present Carran of the order, '.,- By the terms of the settlement the ttrikera accept tho schedule of wage offered them by ti e railroada July 1. Thia achedule was emphatically refused bv the strikers at Hie time It waa made. It offered an average increase of 20 per cent for all clasnee of labor connected with the Freighthandiera' union. The deniaivlu of the men would have made an avtrEgo Increase of about 30 per cent. The railroads at the time of offering it i ; .t a t. a l 1 voe increase, -oiy i, saiu unuor nu circumstances would they recognize the I union oi tne ireigntnanaiers to tne ex- .ii At.:. . a l tenioi allowing tue oincer. oi we or- ganbation to make terms for the men wun me omoera oi in one oi wio tiuei reasons ior iuo oirmo, the men insisting that the union should be lully recogniied. The railroads have won a complete victory on this point. The attitude of the roads towards the rreighthandlers union is the .ne aa that Maintained toward all local organisations of railroad men. The freighthandlers demanded some- thing that no other organisation ot rail- road employes in Chicago had asked, i lisk mtttiturarai ainnniinrciil that nn I der no circnmsUncea would thev aeree to this. President Curran,of the Freighthand lers' union, aaid after the meeting with the special manageia tonight that he practically had been compelled by his own men to accept the terma of the roads. The action of the teamsters was a factor in settling the strike, They took issue with the freighthand- lers, and intimated that no assistance could be expected from them, inasmuch as the freighthandlers had struck against the advice of the Chicago Fed- eration of Labor. The agreement reached by President Curran with the managers tonight must be ratified by the men tomorrow, but there is only a very small probability that this will not be done. hhippeis and the large firms about town found things in better shape to-1 day, and were able to secure freight and shin eoods on the various rail- roads as beggn. was usual befoie the striae RATE OF INDIAN WAR PENSION.

These provisions are contained In the Blackhawk pension act of July 27, 1892, which by the re cent law is made applicable to the sur vivors of the Indian wars in Oregon, Washington and other sections. Under the old act and therefore un der the new one, every claimant will be required to establish his right to a pen sion, And any person falsely or cor- ruptly making oath to any evidence re quired by the department, will be guil ty ol perjury.

Suggestions of this sort were made to the department by many senators and leprerentatjves just before they left Washington forjthe summer. Secretary Hitchcock is not personally familiar with irrigation matters or with land matters generally. He is, there- fore, obliged to depend largely npon the recommendations of his subordin- lates The suggestions of Superintend lent Walcott, oi the geological survey and of Chief Hydrcgrapher Jewell are given every consideration. There is much data of a general character now available, but there are no reports of sufficient detail to warrant the secre tary in adopting or rejecting the sites heretofore examined.

NEW YORK FLOODS. Crut Damage Done te Farms and Railroad - Property. Rochester. N.Y.,July 10. News from the flood devastated districts is coming in slowly. Keports from Medina show that the cloudburst that struck that place did great damage. Today there are evidences of a great flood, and wreckage is piled up along waterways which have been dried up for a month. In the neighboring country buildings were destroyed by lightning and rail road tracks washed out. The Genesee river, Which at this time of the year is a mere raceway, is today a raging tor rent.

The visit of the miners' hief to Nhw York continues to aiouse interest. No word of his movements in tk motwmniifl have Kxm nwivixl here, and there is much speculation as to what caused him to. go there. The entire coal belt continues quiet, very few men congregating in the vicinity of the collieries. The large force of coal and iron policemen, estimated at 3,000, is kept constantly on duty - for any emergency. Several arrests were made in this valley of persons for intimidat ing alleged' "unfair" workmen but the arrests were made so quietly as to cause no disturbance of any kind. The district convention at Nanticoke today disposed of much business of a routine nature. About 400 delegates, representing 75,000 mmeworkers, are attending the convention, which em braces all the teiritory from Forest Citv. 22 miles north of Scranton, to Shickshinny, 16 milea south of here.

Ikvcd to Have Been SnMitjIed- m Before. Falem, Or., July 9. An unknown man tried to gain entrance into the penitentiary Monday night at midnight, according to Guard Sampson. The in truder appeared on post No. 5, on the south wall of the prison yard, and ap peared to be watching the night guard. It is believed that Tracy and Merrill received their rifles over this wail, and that the weapons were brought over at night and secreted in the fo.ndry by accomplices. The appearance of the stranger on the wall at night is taken to indicate a further plan for an out break by the prisoners, and that the fellow intended to smuggle weapons into the prison for the use of the con- T;ct8 Before the outbreak of June 9 only one guard was in the prison yard at night. Now an extra guard is there, and the matter of smuggling in arms is somewhat more difficult if the guards are alert. Just before the discovery of the stranger Simpson had walked down to the south-wall, and inspected the gate w here the Southern Pacific track enters the yard. He then started back across the yard northward, and when he entered the shadow of the laundry building, about 200 feet distant, he turned and looked back at, the south wall. At that instant he saw a man' head above the wall, but it suddenly disappeared. He waited a moment and the head reappeared, and. after a few seconds went down out of sight again. Simpson dropped a cartridge into the barrel of bis rifle, and when the head appeared again he fired. Instantly the n era re was eone. and when the two guar(i8 arrived no trace of the man coaii be found.

The man who appeared on the wall stood on the walk attached to the out side of the wall about four feet from the top. He could therefore couceal himself easily, exposing his head only long enough to observe the position of the guards. Tne prison officials are reticent con cerning the attempt to enter the prison yard, and there has been an effort to keep it quiet. These facta were relat ed by Guard Gambell, w ho was on duty in the front yard. No attempt, so far as known, has been made to run down the culprit. TRACY AGAIN ESCAPES.
