The contest between the Union Paeifls
and the atrlkera eeema now to center
chiefly upon the manning of the shops. The

workmen with apparently little effort, and
' the atrlkera are devoting their time largely

'Last light atrlkera claimed that fourteen

who el ilm to bavo been at the gatea when
tba mm left the yards, hold that two of
the deserters were of the most skilled In
the shops
Strlkera asserted also last night that
during the day eleven nonunion men bad
left the ahopa at Cheyenne. They claim to
be making Inroada on the company's forcea
rln this way each day, but official of the

It may be only a Question of time until
11 the blacksmith, in the Union Paclfto
.ahopa go out on a strike, thus materially
tnrreuine the number of atrlker. In
Omaha and Armstrong only are th black-
. smiths out at present. These are th only
Iplace where the member of thla craft
hav been asked to accept piecework, con
sequently the other have had no occasion
to strike.
, But thing are very liable to undergo a
'.vital change aoon, aa an official of the
J company say It Is oily a question of
'time until the Union Pacific will announce
a general enforcement of th piecework
. system, and the blacksmith hav repeat
j edly avowed their determination never to
. accept piecework.
I "Piecework ha been decided upon by thla
, company, and. a a matter of fact, it I
to become general and not apply to part
of our ehops only," said an official yesterday
morning. "How soon we .hall establish it

exact. Is "minister to Greece, Roumsnla

Tuesday night for New York City and "hla

He haa been on leave of abaence since May,
bringing with him ths ratified .extradition

then be rs-ablpped to Greece, making th
expense too heavy to aell against competi

Greek Interest la America.
"The Greek are a very enterprising peo

market la highly desirable, for they Import
all manufactures and export heavily in
grapes, wine and currants. Of Zantle cur

no less than 30,000,000 or 90,000,000 pounds

be raiaed about the Gulf of Corinth. Teu
mile, back tn the country the soil won't
produce them.

"Nor are the Greek, totally unfamiliar

PLAN FOR NAMING 'INDIANS
Patent Medicine Men Spring; Scheme
on Omaha neeerva ' '
ttoa.
T. J. Balrd, agent for a patent medlcln
manufacturing house at Chattanooga, ha
Introduced a new system of nomenclature
among the Indians of the Omaha reserva
tion. Tbe system is said to be an lm
provement over that which ha obtained
for age of picking out om eccentricity
of the papoose and making hi. name con
form to it, sod It la alleged further that It
HI dispense with such picturesque title.
a. Sammy Make - Room for-Your-Uncl.
Hole-ln-the-Day and the like. The salient
feature of the plan 1 to give the papoose
a surname which, by a strange coincidence.
ia alao th name of one of the brand, of
medicine made by Mr. Balrd' house and
then tack on to the front part of it a
given" name which shall have a logical
connection with the aurname.
For example, tha Chattanooga houss la
making a kind of cordial the exact name
of which 1. not essential to thl. account
Jlmpson Weed cordial will do. All of the
papoose, of a family ar given thl a a
patronymic and then, as a Christian
name, auch appellation a. "I-Swcar-By,"
After-Taking," "Your-Drugglat-Sellr
'Nothing-Like," at cetera are beatowed
upon the individual. This make tn
complet name, "I-Swear-By-Jimpon
W d-Cordlal," "Tour-Drugglt-Sell-
Jlmp.on-Weed-Cordlal," and tb like,
thereby combining utility with a good,
serviceable name that la easily remem
bered. ',
'My plan ia to gat th permission of tb
federal authorities to tak eighteen or
twenty of these Irdlan. to the Louisiana
Purchase exposition at St. Louis. The
naming of them Is merely a detail and
I'd rather you wouldn't say anything about
that Just at present. It l.n'c'suppo.ed
that the Indian, will take the.e names
permsnently In preference to tbelr own,
though of course it tbey should cbooss to
do so ws would have no objection. The
names will be engraved on beautlf il
bronxe, silver and gold medals and worn
about the neck, or a. badge.
"All th Indian I Ulked with took kindly
to tb plan and th agent Interposed no
objection, though of course he was not In
a position to glvs permission to take his
warda off tbe reservation. The Indians
will bs taken good cars of snd will be paid
for tbelr services."
Mr. Balrd called upon several officers at
tbe federal building yesterday to secure
their endorsement of his plan.
'Thl may explain the many peculiar
names which representatives of the Cauca
sian race are compelled to carry through
life," aald Marshal Mathews. "Such names,
for Instsnce, as Dink Botts, Abe Slupsky
and Fod Dlsmuks. For all we know they
may be tbe aurvivor. of om such enter
prise a this."
