Peace Plans Perfected in st. LOUIS.
st. Louis, July 27,-This morning,
mt military and police headquarters, the
tone of everything was more quiet, but
there was no relaxation of vigilance.
Large shipments or arms arrived dur
ing the night, and the authorities inn
mediately commenced equipping the
militia companies organized by the
citizens. Twelve companies received
breech-loading guns up to II O'Clock.
at an early hour two full companies
were sent to the City Hall, and re-
lieved the clerks and officials who have
been doing duty there.
AT IL O'Clock Gen. Jno. w. Mobiles,
with a battalion of about 400 men,
under Capt. Silas Bent, marched out of
the Four Courts and proceeded to the
Union depot and established headquar-
tiers in the depot building. A large
crowd has had possession of the depot
since Tuesday. The battalion was dis
solved into companies, the guns loaded,
and the crowd charged with fixed bay
onets, and driven out of the depot and
yards. One man, who seemed to be
the leader of the mob element present,
was seized and put under charge of a
guard. The authorities announce that
the depot will he held, and that any in
reference with the trains there will
not be permitted.
All is quiet among the strikers.
The executive committee of the
workingmen's party is in session on
Fifth and Biddle streets and a large
crowd surrounds the hall. The COM
mittee have been telegraphing to the

cities, asking for advice.

st. Louis. July 27.-The wind and
rain did not dwarf the attendance at
the door of the hall where the commit
tee of workingmen were assembled.
To-day at 3 O'Clock the meeting was
announced, and the police, fearing
trouble, decided to break it. Accord
ingly fifty mounted police proceeded to
the hall with 100 citizens guard and
two companies of the National Guards,
with II piece of artillery to arrest all
participants.
When half a block from tho. hall the
police drew their pistols, and charged
the crowd in all directions. The COM
pany of police then mounted the stairs
of the hall, brought down 10 men, and
marched them off to the station. The
crowd made no demonstration and the
whole affair was over in ten minutes.

Northern Pacific Land Grant.

I
| [By Telegraph to the Oregonian.l
New YORK, Dec. 25th.
Reasons in favor of the return Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad lands to the
government are being urged in Wash>
ington by Hon. John ]. McGilvra.
The Tribune's Wsshin gton special
says: The representatives of the citi-
zens of Washington Territory who are
here urging the restoration Of the pub
lie lands withdrawn from settlement in
favor of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
tho grants of which have lapsed. made
an argument before the secretary of
the interior day or two ago. The N.
2. Railroad Company located its lines
in Washington Territory n 1873, the
main line starting from Tacoma on Pu-
get Sound. extended in southerly di-
rection to Kalama on the Columbia
river, and thence eastward along the
line of that river to Walla Walla. From
that point it was to be built in north
easterly direction until it reached the
boundary of Idaho. At the same time
branch line was located. This was to
be built from Tacoma almost due north
to Skagit Pass. and thence easterly to
the line of Idaho Territory, joining the
main line near the boundary between
that territory and Washington. The
only portion of eithar line that has been
built is that from Tacoma on Puget
Sound to Kalama on the Columbia
rive-. a distance of about 100 miles.
Within the limits of the land grant
earned by the construction of this short
piece of road. southeast from Tacoma,
in the foothills of the mountains, are
coal mines to which the Northern Pa
cific Company are now constructing
road. The line over which the road is
being built is nearly 100 miles south of
the proposed branch line; but the COM
pany seems to expect to obtain land
grant for every mile of this local coal
road which its builds, and it opposes
the restoration to market of any land
set apart in 1878. on the ground that it
hopes to earn this land by building o
road over the new route. Hon. Johu
J. McGilvra, in his argument before
the secretary of the interior, urged a
restoration of the land to market, on
the ground that the company could not
lawfully change the route of its branch
line after it once had been definitely
fixed. because no provision for such a
change exists in the charter of the com>
pany. or in any other law of the United
States affecting it. If made. the change
would work grave injustice to settlers
on even sections who had purchased
land of the United States at double
rates, with the expectation that the
road would be built on the line origi-
nally selected, He also urged that the
coal road referred to is not on the line
of the new branch now proposed by the
company. and that if this route is se>
lected for that branch it is impractica-
bio. as shown by report Of . survey
made long ago under the direction of
General Mcclellan. For these reasons
McGilvra urges the secretary of the in
terror to restore the lands in question.
Arguments on the same subject will be
made after .eassembling Of congress
before the senate committee on Pacific
railroads and public lands.
