CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK All the Main Points of the Difficulty Are Arranged Settlement Applies to Machinists, Blacksmiths and Boiler Makers. OMAHA President Kennedy of the boiler makers, who is in New York in attendance at the Union Pacific strike conference, telegraphed to the local committee that every main point had been conceded to the strikers. All the old men are to be reinstated, an increase in wages Is allowed and the piece work system is abandoned. Strike leaders in Omaha received emphatic news of settlement from New York in a matter-of-fact way, yet manifested a great deal of delight at the thought of reaching the end of the long and severe struggle which began June 18, lfi'2. They had been looking for a settlement and therefore were not surprised. Whatever terms of settlement are made with one of three crafts will ap ply to both the others, as they all. the blacksmiths, machinists and boiler makers, nave stood together through out the fight and long ago resolved that no settlement should be made with one that did not extend to all. therefore the 1,500 or l.t.OO men who went out the machinists, boiler mak ers, blacksmiths, their helpers and ap prentices, will be included in the num ber that are to return to wcrk. A large number of these men have gone off to other places to work, but the plan is for all to return and accept their old places as soon as the final settlement is made. Only four of this large lot ever deserted and went back to work in the shops. Three of these were boiler makers at Kansas City, and one machinist ai Sidney, all of whom were promoted to formanships. Up to a late hour last night the strike leaders had no more informa tion than they had early in the even ing when a code came saying that all the main points had been conceded, which involved the abandonment of piece work, the discharge of all non union help, reinstatement of all old men and raise of w ages in some" cases. Inquiry at Union Pacific headquarters brought the reply that no advices had been received there as to the settle- ment. All that is done in New Y'ork must be ratified in Omaha before the men return to work. This is in accordance with constitutional provisions govern ing the various crafts involved. The three trades will be represented in conference with Mr. Burt and other officials by a delegate of the black smiths, boiler makers and machinists from every place on the system. There is no thought that the terms will not be approved. Itch Grows on Kansas Stock. TOPEKA. Kan.

LOSS VERY HEAVY ONE THOUSAND KILLED AND 30C WOUNDED. WAS A SANGUINARY CONFLICT That Occurs in the Rio Chico District, Venezuela Regular Soldiers Meet with Big Less and Accomplish Nothino. WASHINGTON. 1). C Advices of a thoroughly reliable character received in Washington, under date of May 1 show that tho Venezuelan revolution ists are not only holding their own but are making considerable headway The advices say: The districts of Coro, Rarisquisimo. Torquas, on the west side, Ciudad Bol ivar, on tho Orinoco, and its surround ing country are still in the power of the revolutionists. Within sixty miles of La Guayra, in the Rio Chico dis trict, the revolutionists are holding forth, end although the government a few weeks ago sent an expedition there to drive them out, they succeed ed only in making them retreat, and within a few clays tliey were again ba-k there. A battle took place in which the government lost over thousand men and about 3o0 wounded were brought back to La Guayra after a two das' light. On the other hand, the revolution ists have not succeeded in ousting the government or in winning any partic ular fight, but they are decimating the government troops and the govern ment now has no more than 3,000 men under arms. An expedition went from La Guayra about 1 500 men to Tucacas, there to meet the forces of the revolution ists, but the result is very doubtful.
