peace In the .Philippine archipelago. He haa
placed the islands under complete civil
control and haa extended general amnesty
to the Filipino who have been In rebel

NEBRASKA'S GOLDEN FIELDS
Despite Heavy Rainfall in Jons Crop
Outlook ii Very Bright.
YIELD EXPECTED TO BREAK ALL RECORDS
Per Cent ef Losses 111 Re Peal-
tlvely Insignificant When Com
' pared with Per tent
Notwithstanding tbe heavy rainfall dur
ing the month of June tbe ercp outlook over
the state, as a whole, Is most encouraging
Careful Investigations have been made
along the routes of the Union Pacific, Bur
lington snd Elkborn, and In general th
farm products are In good and promising
ccnlltlon.
Corn certainly needs the ordinarily bright
dayu of June and the small grain, approach
ing time for harvest, likewise requires dif
ferent climatic conditions than have been
had. Fears have been entertained of
dwarfed corn, a late harvest and rust on
the osts, but no such apprehensions are
warranted In tha fsce of the facts re
vealed by the reports from the three rall
rosd lines mentioned.
On Burtlnartea northern.
On the northern division of the Burling
ton cobl and cloudy weather la reported.
Winter wheat, which Is now being har
vested. Is turning out abundantly and spring
wheat will yield a great deal heavier than
expected some days ago. Corn generally Is
good, though In some plscea on the low
lands tt Is marred by a yellowish hue
which Indicates delicate health. Just a
little heat and a few sunny days will start
all the corn to developing rapidly and will.
it Is maintained, even redeem most of that
which Is suffering. Oats will exceed all
expectations. Rye, alfalfa and potatoes are
In good condition.
On Southern Division.
On the Burlington's southern division not
so much rain has fallen, although there has
been an abundance. Wheat harvest Is pro
grerslng well and showing a yield of fif
teen to twenty-five bushels to the acre.
Corn 1 said to be excellent In stand, but re
tarded in growth by the cool weather. Oats
except in the western extremity of this
division, promise a big yield. Hay will
turn out more than ordinary. Wheat la
being cut and farmers are slated over the
yield.
Tbe Union Pacific reports rain to excess
In the counties of Nance, Boone, Madison
and Platte. Corn cultivation has been serl
ously delayed In these counties, but It la
believed that a good crop will yet be real
ized. In these sections such winter whest
aa there Is will be late enough so aa not
to be seriously affected by the constant
rain.
Oare and Lancaster Countlea.
Very heavy, but not a excessive rains.
are reported In Oage and Lancaster coun
tlea, but no damaging effect have been
produced on the crope In general.
Butler, Polk and Saunders countlea show
excellent eonditlon and tbe Platte valley
reveals a moat satisfactory stats of af
fairs. Corn Is Buffering nowhsr. Little If
any damage is reported, to It in Nance
county. ' - -
Considerable difficulty has been met In
cutting and harvesting alfalfa. Ralna have
beaten the grars down, especially in places
whert the stand was heaviest snd the grass
tallest, snd the ground in low places Is very
soft,' so as lo check the speed of tbe mower
and make the task of cutting a more ardu
ous one.
No report of serious damage trom rust
on oat are made from any of the Union
Pacific's divisions
In Blkharn'a District.
Tbe Elkhorn report absolutely no dam
age to crops on the main line. In parte of
the Platte valley 6 per cent losses to crops
have been estimated, but these are not
officially returned. Tbe losses are estimated
as a result of wheat lodging in so many
place. This la a natural, but not nec
essarily fatal obstacle with which wheat
that haa attained both a heavy stand and
great height must contend, but It 1 urged
that only a few sunshiny day ar necessary
to restore it and place It beyond any dan
ger whatever. Rust is aaid to be a minus
quantity along the Elkborn.
There haa been aome damage to tbe grain
no doubt from the heavy rains in those
places where the grsin was furthest ad
vanced snd on the verge of ripening when
the worst of the rains set in, but tbe re
ports show that the percentage of losses
over the whole system will be positively
Insignificant as compared with the percent
age of increase In tbe estimated yield of
the crops this year as compared with that

Pacific replacing It Omaha ahopmen who
ar on a strike with outsiders materialised
yesterday sfternoon, when ' twenty-seven 1
strsngers, imported from Chicago, reached
ths city snd were taken to the shops. Be
fore the me had time to sssume their .
labors, however, five quit, leaving twenty-
two to start with this morning.
These men reached Omaha during the
afternoon. At J o'clock President Burt wss
asked by a reporter for The Bee If any new
men had been imported or were being Im
ported. "I haven't heard of any," was
th emphatic rely.
It la not known how the new men are
pportloned among tbe various crafts.
Some of them are said to be unskilled la
borers. Machinists and bollermakers ap
parently are little disturbed over the pres
ence of tbe new men.
"Will any effort be mad to keep these
twenty-two from continuing at work?" was
asked of Vice President Wilson of the
machinists last night.
"Most assuredly," he said. "But no vio
lent means will be employed to bring
about thts result. Tbe company has sur
rounded the new men with a large contin
gent of private guard, picked up here In
the city, but no Infraction of the law la
contemplated by any of the strikers that

The company has provided a car for tha

them to occupy at nights. They will not
bave occssion to leave the yards unless
they do so of their own volition.
The blacksmith held a meeting late yes
terday afternoon, but aside from saying
that tbe advlalbtllty of striking unless the
compsny reoeded from Its determination
to enforce the piecework system was con
sidered nothing was given out. A leader
of tbe blacksmiths waa seen late laat night,
who aaid that hts fellow workmen posi
tively would, not submit to the piecework
basis. Thts msn waa among those dis
charged a week ago Saturday. The com
pany Informed him and other that their
discharge waa due to a scarcity of work,
but Tuesday the foreman aent for this man
to return to work. He declined to do so.

why there I any demand for hla services
now If there waa not enough work to keep

The carbulldera ar still at work, but
very dlssaatlsfled with the present condi
tions. They and the blacksmith will In
sist on an early conference with President
Burt.
Burt la Happy.
"Everything la lovely."
Thla la tbe way In which President Burt
of the Union Pacific summed up the
progress of the strike yesterday to a re-'
porter for The Bee.
"There positively Is nothing new that I
know of," said tbe president. "No I have
held no conference today with any of the
ahopmen and will hold none before night
that I am aware ot. The men down there
aeem to be getting along all right without
any dissatisfaction and I apprehend no new
trouble. The Union Pacifio railroad la
wtlll In operation and no plana have been
made for suspending business," tbe presi
dent remarked Jocularly.
President Burt seemed to be enjoying
ompsratlvs freedom from the anxiety which
might overcome a man for whose mortal
safety a tralnload of Pinkerton detectives
had been aummoned. He goes to and from
his office without the protection ot a body
guard and laughingly said be thought he
would get through the whole affair without
any bodily harm.
"No," he said, "I have heard nothing au
thoritative of any vlolenoe In the west or
anywhere else on our road, nor of the de
mand for police protection, nor do I expect
to hear ef any such thing."
Mo Word from Wast,
There wss nothing new from General
Manager Dickinson or Superintendent Mr
Keen, said tha president, and so far as he
knew things In the west were practically '
unchanged.
Blacksmiths and ear builders have the
center of the atage In the Union 'Pacifio 1
strike situation. Neither craft baa yet de
clared a walkout, but both may do aa
within a day or two unleaa matter can be i
patched up with tbe company. '
The ear builder, with whom th officials
entered Into an agreement only last week,
are now claiming that notice of thla agree- :
ment has never beea poeted on the bulletin ,
where such documents generally appear and
that tbe company now proposes to abrogate :
the compact by Introducing piecework. The i
blacksmith ar also complaining against
th enforcement of the piecework syetem
and aerloua trouble la brewing.
Blaeksmltas Are Ready.
The blacksmiths are ready to strike any
tima it may become necessary from tbelr
atandpolnt, as they already have obtained
the sanction for such action of their na
tional organisation. 8me of their fellow
workmen are out now. Many of those at
Armstrong went out when the bollermakera
struck. This being the case ne time need
elapae between tbe conference of the presi
dent and th blacksmith before the latter
decide upon a definite course. If they
fall to make terms with Mr. Bart for the
elimination of piecework, according to
their statement a strike will follow forth
with. But th car builder ar not prepared to
take such prompt action. They have not
yet obtained final word from their supreme
official and K they fall to reach a satis
factory understanding with th company
they will not be able to declare a trik
until approved by headquarters.
The uprising of tbe car builders 1 a sur
prtoe to th officials, who believed that
when the agreement of last week waa
effected their trouble with tb carmen
were at aa end and they would have been,
tbe ear builders, assert, had th company
not sought to thrust piecework upon them.
They were given to understand at the coa- I
