s 13 TITK OMAHA DATLT TlEEt SATURDAY, PKCrMTinrt 20, 1002. KO SETTLEMENT THIS WEEK tTathlof Will B Dons with Strike Until President Bart Retarni. DECISIVE ACTION EXPECTED NEXT WEEK President f Boiler Makers Raid Hare Rerelre Hfiutc from Haw Tark with Information; that Gives Hop. No decisive action will bo taken In the Union raclflc strike until next week at least. Authoritative sources disclose the Information that the conference of officials In New Tork evolved no basis of settlement which can be made public until President Burt'a return to Omaha. This, It was learned from the president's office here, wlU be some time next week. Hence all envelopments await his coming. President John McNeil of the boiler mak er, who Is now the aggressor on the side of the strikers, has gone to Kansas City, his home, where he will remain for several day. Before President Burt's departure for New Tork an understanding was had Vet ween him and Mr. McNeil that the 1atr ter should wait In Omaha for a telegram (rem the former, which would be sent as noon as the conference with Harrlman and the other directors was over. It was Understood this telegram would con tala some statement of the pol icy decided on. While Mr. McNeil de clined to discuss the matter before leaving yesterday. It was learned from reliable sources that he had heard from Mr. Burt and that the message contained hopeful In formation. McNeil and Burt will meet In Omaha next week, when, doubtless, other trlke representatives will be called In and the whole proposition thoroughly discussed. Donfct of Immediate Action. It cannot be said that the strikers are especially dubious as to the outcome of this conference next week, yet there Is considerable doubt of an Immediate settle ment. The men are decidedly In favor of bringing matters to a peaceful end, how ever. They still maintain their determina tion to hold out for their original demands. They fear the company will insist on re taining its nonunion men and thus par ticipate prolongation of the present struggle. The strikers declare they will never work with the men who were Imported to take their places. There is a rumor that Edward Dickinson, formerly general manager of the Union Pacific, was called to New York to par ticipate In the conference. If negotiations for a settlement, which seem to have made good progress, ulti mately fnll. lt Is apparent that a more bit ter conflict than ever will be waged. There seems to be no doubt that the strlto Will be extended throughout the entire Harrlman system. Involving the boiler bakers, blacksmiths and machinists. It has been understood on good authority that the International head of the ma chinists, James O'Connell of Washington, has met and talked with President Burt In the east, but the result of any such conference ha not been learned here. Mr. O'Connell, it Is known, opposes baety or radical action at this time and has cau tioned his men to go slowly In any move ment looking to a complication of the battle., Nevertheless, assurances have come from him that he and the entire cen tral organization are In heartiest co operation with the men who are combat ting the Union Pacific and will so con tinue until the fight is won.

With matinee and evening performances today thla week'a bill at the Orpheum will be brought to a close. It has scored a genuine "hit," many pronouncing It equal to the best of the season, and despite the counter-attraction of Santa Claus' doings It has attracted large audiences. Among the offerings on the new bill opening mat inee tomorrow one very unusual feature Is announced. Captain Webb's educated seals and sea lions will give their unique and remarkable performance, which Is the first of the kind to be presented on a local stage. They have been taught to do a clever and varied lot of tricks that are said to be wonderful In them, and appeal with almoit a human Instinct for sympa thy and admiration. Concerning Miss Mary Munchhoff, who sings at :he Boyd next Tuesday evening, the Hanover (Germany) Courier says: "She enchanted her audience with her crystal clear voice and truly perfect vocal skill. The meat lovely property of this wonderful voice, which ripples forth like liquid silver. Its warm timber, that Is not wanting even in the highest tones." Seats are now being reserved very rapidly, but a few choice ones re left. Hew Train Service Via Vnlon Parlflc.

SCHOOL RUNS RIGHT ALONG Business of the Stanberry Normal la affected by Tana-led Litigation, "One of the most tangled pieces of liti gation that has appeared on the books of the federal courts of Missouri Is the one affecting the ownership of the property formerly In possession of the Stanberry, Mo., Normal school association," said Charlea H. Haskell, deputy United States marshal of St. Joseph, who was here yes terday. "The Stanberry Normal school Is one of the great educational Institutions of Missouri and Messrs. Robblns and Moore have made It a better seat of learning than It ever was before, according to those who are In a position to know. As present con ditions stand there Is a judgment for a small sum against the Stanberry Normal School association, and just who of the long list of men Interested In the property, past and present, are responsible is a question yet to be determined in the federal courts. The present litigation can In no wise effect the standing or efficiency of the school un der present ownership."
