that it is impossible ever to give di-

THE Washington correspondent of
the ST. Louis Republican writes, Dec.
80: The impression that the Yirginius
was I rposely permitted to fill with
water and go to the bottom is quite
general here. 1t Is notorious that,
when she sailed, or was towed for Key
West, her Unseaworthy condition was a
matter of remark. and the haste to get
her ont TO sea when three days caulk-
ing and other repairs would have in
sured her safe passage, excited sus-
picion. Moreover, an official high in
the confidence Of the administration,
was heard to remark, day before yes
terday, that the next thing heard of
the cursed vessel would be that she was
in twenty fathoms of water This may
have been merely a jocular expression,
but events have given it significance,

THE STRIKING ENGINEERS.
The Question Of Legislation by Con-

The Question oil Legislation by Con-
s;ress.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3I.-The trou-
bles that have been incident to the
strike along the great railroad lines III
the West have drawn attention anew to
the question of the authority of Con-
gress over railroads. At the last Re-
publican convention in Massachusetts,.
among the resolutions adopted was one
affirming that the Federal government
had authority over railroad and other
modes of transportation, and demand
ing on the part Of the Republicans Of
Massachusetts, that such authority
should be exercised. Under this resO-
luton the Massachusetts, delegation
may vote for some measure to give gov
eminent such control. Mr.. G. T. Hoar,
who is a member of the Committee on
Railways and Canals, is avowedly in
favor Of Federal control. Among other
members of that committee are
Messrs. McCrerv, of Iowa, and Hurl-
but; of Illinois, who are known to be
favorable to the Changers movement;
and 1t is, therefore, not unlikely that a
strong bill will soon be reported. which
bill will open up the whole question for
discussion. In conversation with New
England members outside Of Massa-
chusetts, division of sentiment is
found, and so with members from the
Middle States. Among the Western
States there is greater unaninnty ON
the subject. Some members 90 so far
even as to contend that, while the Gen
eral Government could not pass a law
that would prevent strikes, they can
enact such law as would punish any
persons who would use force and vio-
lence to prevent others from working, |
or who should, in any manner, impede
the progress of railroad trains. The |
question Of the right of the General |
Government TO regulate freights and |
transportation iloes not lit Is assertedl |
necessarily involve the question of the |
right TO construct roads through the |
States; but there are not a few Con |
gressmen who tank the two questions /
should be combined in any discussion
Of the proposition.
