Tlia Omaha Bee says that while it is diflicultto ascertain the partic ulars of tho pension system which will becomo effective on tho Union 'acifio about January 1st, it has been learned that the age at which men may bo retired is sixty instead of Bixty-iivo. Employes in order got tho benefit of tho system must havo spent twenty years of continuous scrvico with tho company. While several of tho strike lead ers havo been called east to confer with Harriman and Burt, it is gen orally bclioved that tho linal settle ment and the terms thereof will tako place in Omaha. Whflo tho strike leaders can rcccivo and mako iroposals, tho final action must como through tho district commit tees. In making settlement tho demands will bo: No piecework, an increase m wages," re-instatcmcnt of all men discharged or on n strike and the discharge of all strike breakers. S. C. Mccombcr goes to Omaha tomorrow where ho will remain un til aftor tho conference with tho Uiiidti Pacific relative to tho ad vaneo in wages which has beon re quested by conductors and brake men. Tins request, which was mado December 120th, is for an ad vanco of twenty per cent in wages and doublo pay for miles and hours mado on trains of moro than thirty oars when hauled bv moro than ono engine. A similar request was mado upon fifty-two railroads, and January 5th was named as tho day upon which the committee of each road would moot to rcccivo tho ans 1 , it 1 -v .a wer lrom uio ouioiais. n tho re quest is not granted, a formal do mand will bo mado and this may re suit in protracted conferences be foro tho mattor is finally adjusted although tho feeling is general that the requests will all bo granted sooner or later. Ono drawback to a speedy acquiescencp in the mat tor is tho fact that within tho territory covered by thoso fifty two roads' upon which tho request has been made, arc roads which do not employ organized labor, and tho employes of those roads havo made no demands for increased pay. Tho roads upon which tho request has beon made will mako an effort induce theso non-union roads to pay their men tho samo wages as will bo paid by tho unionized roads after tho requests aro granted. It may ther. fore require somo little time mako such arraugemonts. to Fifty Cents Saved.

A brief outline of this play, wliich will be seen at Lloyd's opera loiuc, Dec. 31st, is as follows:: It is in four acts and tho scene is laid in London. The incidents of thrco acts take place in tho house of Dick Carewo, a successful barrister, and those of the other in a famous Lon don Supper Club at midnight. Diok Cnrow and three comrades, the Doc tor, the Soldier Man and Waddles, are bound together by friendship tics of a lifc-timo and their whole mrposo is loyalty to each other and to see to tho wolfaro of tho "Imp," a "haruin scarum" youth, tho boh of 0110 of their comrades long since dead. Dick and his chums learn of a serious plight into which the "Imp" ias gotten himself through, a secret marriago to on adventuress, despite their efforts of saving tho young ster from tho results of hiB folly. Richard Carow iB hopelessly in love with Phyllis Ericsson, whois but half his ago, and whoso marriage to tho "Imp" has been planned by Carow- Neither loves the other, but Dick did not know, and their engagement was generally accepted by their friends. Diek nobly sacri fices himself to save his dead com rade's boy; not only for tho lad's sako but for tho happmcss of Phyl lis. In tho cud his lovo is rewarded by learning that Phyllis loves him and ' not the "Imp'1 and all ends happily. CAST ADRIFT IN THE PACIFIC Copyright. W02, by C. B. Lewis. Wo were, us near us I can remem ber, In tho latitude of Midway Island, In tho Faclilc, and all was going well with the harl: Harvest Home when wo picked up a sailor named Williams, Who was drifting about In a ship's yawl. He told 11 story of shipwreck nud suffering which wo afterward enme to know was utterly false, and after n couplo of days ho was put In my watch and entered as an extra hand. Williams had no sooner got ninoiig tho men than he began telling of u great treasuro buried 011 0110 of tho Kuril islands. Talk treasure to a sail or and you can bring him to mutiny.. The amount of money was given ht several million dollars, and Williams claimed to be ablo to locate the exact spot. It probably never occurred to one of tho men to ask why ho didn't go to tho captain with his story and try to arrango for tho removal of tho treasure, but If It did ho had somo answer at hand. Ho proposed taking possession of tho burl;, Bulling her to tho tmisuru Island, securing tho great wealth and thou using tier to get to England. As to tho ollk'crs and such men us would not Join, they were to bo cast adrift hi mldocean to takp their chances. Wo had a cargo valued nt $123,000, and I think tho limit's gamo was to peddles It out among tho Ma line, Cnroll 110 and Marshall islands, get what ho could and then look out for himself. So quietly did ho do his work among tho crew that not the slightest hint of what was goiug on was wafted nft. Ho enlisted eight of tho men in his cause, and on the seventh day of ids coming aboard and while tho captain and I wero eating dinner the climax cume. Tho second mate was seized, bound and guged and un alarm was raised that he had fallen overboard. Uoth of us rushed from tho cabin, to be pounced upon and made prisoners. It was a . surprise all around, and no insolence was offered any of us. When Captain Holt demanded an explana tion, Williams promptly enlightened him. He said: "Wo are In possession of tho hark We aro going after a great treasure, which Is to bo equally divided between man and man, It was no use to talk to you, for you would havo'scoffed at my story. It was. agreed .that noffo of you should 0 liui t, arid wc-,hayjkcpt to "Vhttt do you InteHdtu!wUh us?" "Send you odrift.wjtf haajhour." wnere is your ireamre isiamiz Twill not tell y&." '4.'! "If you rcallywigy; of a burled trenS' figures, our store. iNcwgoous here. uro, why not let us Ball two ship "there and share with you?" 1 "Because that would mtu less mon ey for tho rest of us." " Tho captain appealed to ua men, de claring that Williams lint1 3Vt?Vftl knowledge of n treasure and would A I .... - 1 it'iiu mem a wiiu goose euusi'. ami ui fcrcd to overlook what had happened If they would return to duty. Tho feeling of tho crew was expressed by tho old boatswain, who took off his cap nud stood In humble nttltudo as he said: vapinin noir, wo ucv muuin ng iiij ye nor the mates, but here's a chnneb fur every man of us to git rlclufur life, and wo feels as If w(o mil's! take It." There was more n;gument, but tho men wero stubborn. Those who had re fused to Join In tho plot now cniuc for ward and gave hi their allegiance to Williams, and preparations wero begun for casting us adrift. One of tho quar ter boats was hoisted out, and in It wero stowed water and provisions sufil- dent to last three of us a fortnight. Wo were allowed a mast and a sail, but neither chart nor compass. o had made 350 miles to the cast nud were having fair weather when wo made a grewsomo discovery. About a o'clock hi tho afternoon wo sighted a strnngo object only a point or two oil our course, and, running down to It, wo found our old bark flontliiir korl un. ward, with two of her masts and n great mass of wreckage surrounding, her. There was hut little sea on, and wo scrambled upon IJio bark's hottom. Wq. she inlght ho righted, especially irwo sighted 11 craft which would give us assistance. She had probably becii hi that position for three or four days nt tho least, but there was still sutliticut air to buoy her up. I hud not yet walked her. length when 1 heard n knocking, followed by faint shouts. Tho captain came aboard to see what he could mako of It, and it was not long beforo we wero satisfied that nt least two men wero imprisoned In tho cabin. By lying down nnd pluclug our ears to the copper sheathing wo could make out that they knew some one hud boarded tho hurk, and they appealed to us to cut a hole through which they could escape. Wo hud neither ax nor hatchet, but if wo had been fully equipped the chances would havo been UUllim MO. l.UO tl OJfWb Jill UIIU could stnnd upright to use an nx, and overy fifth or sixth wave rose right over It. Wo believed ono of tho imprisoned men to bo Williams and the other the boatswain. We could catch their Mords pretty plainly, but they seemed unablo to mnkc out our replies. Wo could do nothing f(jr them, but.xrtecldcd to re- main by the wreck for nJay or two V11 hope of ''aid from some cra'fvv, AIh'uii sot tho wind died nway, and the 5w(ht was without n zephyr. At euurlso "ayt morning the first object our eyes Upw ed on was an KugllBh tramp steamer hound from New York to Japan with coal oil nnd close aboard of us. Wo looked for our wreck, but It had dlsa, pcared. Tho mainmast lay floating about, but tho hull and Its tangle nnd Its prisoners had gone to the bottom of Ihe sen. M. QUAD. Knew 111 in na a Sharp'cr. Lord Brampton, when ho was Mr. Justice Hawkins, when on circuit, find ing n long summer evening drug on his hands, took a turn in the lanes, nnd, staying nt a rural Inn for n cup of tea, his cars were assailed by. the charmed sound of the falling ninepins. , With n lively eagerness he Inquired of the landlord Jf jhero wns an alley oil tho promises.

Tho learned Judgo nt 01100 acceded to their Invitation, in tho course of 11 very short tlmo relieving every gentleman in the place of his sparo shillings. Then the Inudlord thought It time to Intervene nnd, touching his lordship on tho back, said.
