In accordance with the arrangement made yesterday the grievance committee of the brothernood of locomotive engineers appeared at the general office of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy lUilroad company at 11:30 this moraine for a further conference with the officers of the road in regard to the proposed settlement of the strike. The officials of the road were in con sulfation until about 11 o'clock, when they entered the room where the engineers were awaiting them. The conference adj'ourned shortly be forn 1 o'clock until :$. Neither Mr. Stone of the Burlington road nor Chair man Cavener of the committee would give any intimation as to the probable result. The members of the conference met again at 3 o'clock and remained in ses sion until 5::i0. Then the doors of the conference room were ooened. and the representatives of the Associated press m ' and the daily papers were admitted. To them Vice President Stone, in the pres ence of Chairman Cavener and the other members of the conference, read the fol lowing statement: "The Burlington strike has been set tled. By the terms of the resolution un der which the brotherhood committee was appointed at the Richmond conven tion, thev were instructed to report to Chief Arthur any settlement which they mi "lit reach as soon as made, and the committee requested us not to make the terms of the settlement public until they should have an opportunity to acquaint Mr. Arthur with them, because tuey thought it only proper and courteous for him to hear them first through the com mittee instead of through the public nress. We have told them we would scrupulously respect their wishes and they have in turn promised me that 3lr. Arthur will advise me as soon as he re ceives it so that I can acquaint our people and the general public with them. When Stone had finished reading this statement Mr. Cavener said there wns nothinsr to add to it and both these srentlemen decline to enter into further letails. When the Associated press re porter .sked Chairman Cavene- whether the committee would proceed to Cleve- iind to lay the agreement before Mr. Arthur, he replied that it would not; thai the committee would remain in Chicago for some days. In reply to the question as to the means to be employed to acquaint Arthur with the result, Cav ener replied evasively, but he clearly in dicated that it would be telegraphed. Yellow Fever on the Yantic- Washixotox, Jan. 5. The navey de part men t has been informed that yellow fever has appeared on the Yantic and that she has left Port-au-Prince for home. Admiral Luce also stated that the Ga- ena, after coaling at Jamaica, would go back to Port-au-Priuce to look after matters there, and that the Haytien Re public remained there awaiting a crew to take her northward. It is expected that the United States steamer Ossipce, now at Norfolk, will sail f r Port-au- Prince in a few days. This is in accord ance with the orders issued to her com mander by Rear Admiral Luce, com manding the North Atlantic squadron, prior to his departure on the Galena for Havti. Frozen to Death.

THE BURIED BUNGALOW, "What can this mean?" askep I, rein' ing up my horse close to the dense milk- thorn hedge that shut in Mr. Warren's pretty house and its garden, gay with flowers, from the tea plantations, the green valley, the upland pastures and the dazzling peaks of tho Himalayas sparing overhead. There, on a fragment of rock, stood the well known, tall form of the planter himself, angrily confronting a motley mob of nativessome tawny, Bomo yellow skinned, and a few nearly black. These, although they had flung asido hoe and spade, I knew to be the coolies employed at the prosperous hill station, where such a scene of confusion had been hitherto unknown. "The scoundrels are going to leave me that s all! said fllr. Warren, curtly, And at that instant there stepped for ward in advance of the rest a caunt rr: l a. i . i - i - i emoniously, with perfect gravity, placed pn the ground a, fragment of w-heaten cake, a handful of salt and a lota, or brass drinking pup, nearly tilled with coins, from silver rupees to copper pice. Then, pointing vith a peeled willow vand that he held in his hand, to the food and the monev thrice, he napped in twain the slender 6tock, and with bent head and downcast mien stood motionless, as thoucrh waiting to be Ques tioned. "What mummery is this?" asked I, in an undertone. My intended father-in- law, who knew the people and the coun try better than I did, shok his head. ' "It means mischief," lie whispered. "Something lias terrified the supersti tious curs; and see! They renounce my bread and salt, return tho advance of wages, and break the wand, in oken that they are my men nq more. You moon 1a ollnsf 1 1 i c V I tr in rlit T)nn gali uialectj "to desert me, then, Uan Uorain!" "The Sahib Warren is a crood master " replied the Tibetan, in the same lan guage, "if we go, it Is because tho evil eye uas iookcu upon this threshold, and the voice that never lies has laid a curse on Yirmi Sou and all thaf dwelj there." The man spoke 6owly and with some difficulty, such as besets those who use a loreign tongue imperfectly mastered; but he had uttered his brief speech with emphasis, and with a certain dignity of bearing. Behind him stood the Tibetans and lull men sturdy fellows on whom devolved the rough work of trenchinir and dyke building, while a little way off clustered the dusky coolies' from India proper, their iips tightened over their shining teeth, and in attitudes expressive of the most abject servility. Clearly mere was no suimuus snort oi pnysicai fear wliich would have nerved these crouching creatures to disobey he Burra Sahib, or owner of the plantation, whose lightest word had been aw to his meek subordinates. "If the Sahib will barken to the coun sel of the ioor," said tho spokesman, after a pause, "lie and his will hasten away Dei or But hero Sir. Warren lost patience, and interrupted the orator, roundly rebukinc the whole gang as a pack of craven hounds, frightened at their own shad ows, and without a spark of manliness to redeem them. Were it worth while, he said, he could craUon over to the near est magistrate and enforce the perform ance of the contract under pain of flog ging and imprisonment, but he wanted no hall hearts In his service, so they might go. You hear me!" he thun- dtYed, silencing Han Gorain's fresh ef fort to speak; and the men slunk awav cowed, as Orientals usual Jy art-, by this unuouuting acuc-mon of authority. The planter recovered his temper as soon as the recusants had departed, and laid his broad band on my shoulder, say ing, with a jolly laugh,'1 A lesson, George, my boy, us to the thorns t!iat will lio in your path when you and Edith live here in my stead, us 1 hope you'll do, t; I ter the atherinj i.i of the ueit tea nop. and iet t- L feather your pest, as her mother .ind 1 have doiK.

The dawning of the new day my wedding day ho'vever, chased away tho clouds from mi mind, and when I mounted my horse to ride to Yirmi Sou, attired as a" bride groom should be, my heart was light and full of happy hope. Edith loved me better than I deservodI knew that; that it was her father's Intention to es tablish tho young couple on his own fine plantation, while ho r.nd Mrs. Warren returned to England to enjoy their well earned competency. The day was fine no rarity in the esist but a sort of silver haze hung over the peaks northward, and there were fre- aucnt gusts of ice cold winds rushing own from gap and pass in the rocky range that forms the boundary of India. I rode on. and presently, from an anclo in the mountain road, I cstught agjhopse of tho "Twenty Springs," aa. Mi War ren's thriving station was called, with its gardens and. meadows, and the now deserted plantations, and the empty huts of the coolies. Then I turned tho corner and na.y it no more; but even as it van ished from my eyes I heard a strange, deep sound like that of distant thunder, tho nature of which I could not divine. My horse suddenly snorted and reared, and then stood trembling and could scarcely be urged forward. While I was In the act of stooping forward to pat the Arab's glossy neck, speaking soothingly to him tho while, there broke upon my ear a 6ullen roar louder, nearer, at'eadfi instant, and culminating in a crash ea dreadful that the simultaneous discharge of a thousand paunohs would havo seemed puny when compared with It, Deafened, dizzy and confused. I dis mounted from my frightened, horse, now wholly unmanageable, and hurried on foot to a spot whence, as I remembered, Edith's holne was in sight. The air was thick with dust and withered leaves; but as the prospect grow clearer I could sec no trace of the bungalow, of its home stead and gardens, or of the thriving tea plantations and verdant meadows around it. Vainly did I strain my eyes to, catch one well known feature of (hu faniWiar scene. Nothing was YU.u ti vc h dreary waste of atones, vuuda'nd rocks filling up half the alley, and above which hum? a cloud of tawny du&t that was slowly sulj sidinit.

"Is Miss Warren is Edith safe? WhiUhas" "Of all beneath that roof the roof of Mr. W arren's hospitable house 1 alone tun spared," answered the clergyman in broken accents. "Death, tho grim mower.has garnered in his bar vest there." l ho cause of the disaster was but too evident;. A 6tone avalanche, or moraine, as it is called in Switzerland, had rushed down from the unsealed heights of the huge mountain towerinjr abovo Yirmi Sou, and had overwhelmed all beneath it. "I caught a crhmpso of Miss Warren in the garden, as the stony flood burst on us with its deafeninjr roar." said the clergyman, a3 he grew calmer; "it may be that God's mercy has snared her life, too. And indc&d J have much to be thank ful for, since my dear Edith was found, tainting, but unhurt, at tho foot of a tall cedar, the only tree- left standing, wed sod in between fallen rocks. 1 !ut tho othervin- piates of the house had perished, nor were even their Indies ever extricated from tho mi.-htT mausoleum which na ture's own hand had riled above them.
