03IAHA. The Union Pacific ma
chinists, after being on strike for over
eleven months, on Wednesday reach
ed an agreement with the company,
the enscsMal points of which are
thoe stated above. The boiler mak
ers having previously adjusted mat-
tera with President Burt and Presi
dent Harriman in New York, only the
blacksmiths now remain without the
fold and they began negotiations for
peace with President Burt immedi
ately upon the conclusion ot the ma
chinists' affairs. They will continue
their conferences until an. end Is
.reached. Every indication, points to
a settlement with them
The anal settlement of the ma
chinists was effected and ratified
Tuesday afternoon. For three days
the five members of the machinists'
international executive board had
been in conference with President
Burt and Superintendent McKeen at
headquarters here. The local and dis
trict committees took no active part
in the deliberations until the terms of
the agreement had been reached and
then the local and district men were
invited to participate in the ratifica
- tion. This procedure was mutually
agreed on at the outset. From the
first of this " conference the utmost
secrecy as to the deliberations has
been observed. The only statement
made came at the conclusion of the
conference
Hugh Doran. chairman of the ma
chinists' executive board, officially an
nounced for the workmen that the
strike had been settled along the
lines indicated above and thai the
terms were entirely satisfactory to
the men.
Late in the day this statement was
made officially at Union Pacific head
quarters, as comprising the cardinal
features of the settlement:
L The settlement was made on the
same basis substantially as that of
the. boiler makers, which, was in ac
cordance with the recent telegram of
3lr. Harriman to Mr McNeiL
2. All old men are to be reinstated,
without discrimination, if they desire
to be and make application within
sixty days.
2. Strike is declared off June C and
men return to work June S.
4. The matter of piecework is to be
4eft to the men themselves.
5. All men are to return to work in
the spirit of friendliness, cherish no
animosity and old discipline is to ob
tain.
No new men are to be employed. I
durinz the sixty days within which old
men are siven to return to work.
The machinists say their wage
schedule has been raised on a grad-
-uated scale, averagmg about T per
cent. The question of what to do
with the non-union men who took
strikers' places and those who were
employed m the shops when the strike
began and remained there was not
dealt with in the terms of peace, but
was left to adjust itself.

100 persons, injuring 130, unroofing
the Ciry hotel aad other large buiW-
large stores were blown down.
The cotton mill was a three-story
building. The first story was left
It is estimated that there are at
least seventy-five bodies under tha
wreckage of the third floor, and it i3
nor known how many persons on the
second floor of the building were kill-
wrecked and several perished along
with It. One hundred and twenty-
five cottages, a school house and a
church were blown away in the negro
section of e town. Five brick stores
on the main street of Gainesville were
com-Vwept ay. In an 20'J aulldmgs ara

The furious- wind next struck the
plant of the Pacolet cotton mills at
New Holland, two miles from.- the
south, employing more than 600 hands.
The storm spared the Pacolet factory,
hat entirely demolished 100 of its cot
tages, standing nearby and tenanted
by its operatives. Here the fatalities
were greatest, upwards of thirty-flve
persons being- buried in the ruins of
the cottages. Bodies were blown hun
dreds of yards and many of them

From New Holland the tornado
swept onward to the east in the di

about leo persons. The extent of its

WASHINGTON President Roose

o'clock. Friday night from his memor
able trip of aver two months throagh
aat the west. He was given a hearty
reception by the people of the capi
tal, who lined the sidewalks as bis
carriage, escorted by the battalion of
high school cadets, was driven to the
White House. The president cordially
responded to the greetings given, kirn
aad repeatedly- stood sp in Ms.og
riage and waved his hat and bowed his
acknowledgments. He looked toe
picture of health.
There was a large gathering of offi
cials at the railroad station when the
president arrived. They included
Secretary Root. Secretary Hitchcoclr
and Secretary Cortelyou and Postmas
ter General Payne. Drawn up in line
were Commander-in-Chief Kimball of
the Department of the Potomac of the
Grand Army of the Republic and a de
tachment of Spanish war veterans un
der command of Colonel Hodgson.
The president spent a very few min
utes in exchanging greetings with the
assembled officials. He talked long
er with Postmaster General Payne
than with any of the others, the later
throwing his arms about the president
and apparently whispering to him.
The president, accompanied by his
brother-in-law. Captain W. S. Cowles.
in full uniform, then entered a car
riage and with his party, which, includ
ed Attorney General Knox Secretary
Wilson and Senator Fairbanks of In
diana, was escorted by a battalion of
high school cadets along Pennsylvania
avenue to the White House grounds.
At the entrance to the grounds the
cadets halted and the president and
his party passed them in review. The
avenue was lined with people and the
applause which the president received
on every hand was outspoken and cor
dial. The fire engines of the city were
stationed at the intersecting streets an
the avenue and the tolling of the bells
added to the welcome of the presi
dent. While the review of the cadets was
taking place a large crowd of people
repaired to the rearaf the White
House, where the Marine band gave
a concert in honor of the arrival home;
of the chief executive. The people ex
pected that the president would ap
pear for a moment to acknowledge
ue greeting home that would be giv
en him, and in this they were not dis
appointed. The band played the "Star
Spangled Banner." aad then, as the
president appeared on the portico,
struck up "Hail to the Chief." The
president made a brief speech.
