LATEST TELEGRAMS.
FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.
EXTRA SESSION.
SENATE

Washington, 90. : Filibusterinl
continued. Malone was present
voting with the republicans. Ii
the caucus, this morning, the repub
licans had determined to stand firm
as long as necessary to obtain a re
cess, but to adjourn early this after
noon, to perfect arrangements for {
renewal of the struggle on Monday
without intermission.
Logan cited fifty-three precedentS
to show a reason for the present
change of Senate officers.
Farley replied that at this very
session a minority of the members
for two weeks tilibustered against
the organization of Senate commit.
tees by the majority.
Morrill, read from a speech made
two years ago by the Nestor of the
democratic side, (Saulsbpry) at the
timo whom n change of officers was
proposed, advising republicans to
reconcile themselves to their posi-.
ton as minority, and like Christian
gentlemen bear itmanfully.
Butler retorted by quoting from a
speech made at the same time by the
Nestor of the republican side, Gan
thOny) in which he stated he did
not think he would ever be found
advocating the removal of officers
who had performed their duties
faithfully and efficiently. The call
opposed the resolution. A motion
to go into executive session was
defeated; yeas %, nay 81. Beck
referred to the statement made
yesterday by Dawes, that he sup
ported Riddleberger because he be-
longed to a body of men who opposed
that party which had its heel on the
neck of the black man in Virginia,
and desired to call that senator's
attention to a scene which had
taken pace in the Virginia legis-
lature. Mr.. Morse, a colored man.
who probably could neither read
nor write, and who therefore would
not be entitled to vote in MaSSachu-
sets, had arisen and made rather
rambling speech in which he adYo-
Gated the payment of the state
debt. Riddleberger, thereupon had
offered resolution to eXpel Morse,
which was rejected. The man who
had sought to eXpel an ignorant but
honest colored man, was the man
who was now championed by the
senator from Massachusetts,,
Dawes).
Groom-Does it appear whether
Riddleberger proposed to expel him
because he was in favor of paying
the debt?
Beck-Poor man; 1 suppose he
took a double chance on him.
(Laughter.)
a motion to 90 into executive ses-
sion having been defeated, Malone
took the floor to address the Senate.
This reused that body, which had
been dull all day, into something
like attention. He was unfortu-
nate, he said. in having been absent
from the Senate yesterday, when
some allusiOn had been made to
Riddleberger and himself. He had
been indisposed, and was still too
lnwel to review the speech.
Adjourned.

The Nice Fire.

Paris, pa very incomplete list
of persons who persisted at the Nice
fire, has been published. Among
the names are those of the German
savant, Won Arendt, Schelling and
Nine. McQuay; latter said to be
English. Nice is in mourning; the
papers appearing with black bor-
ders. The whole population of the
town turned out yesterday to attend
the funeral of victims. The spec
tacle was solemn and affecting
in the extreme. The mayor
made a speech at the
cemetery, thanking the troops
and fireman, for gallantry displayed,
and earnestly appealing for sub
scription to the relief fund. Several
more bodies have been found in the
ruins; the victims viii number over
100. Seven sailors and a number of
foreigners are missing. No Ameri-
cans are among the dead.

RAILROADS ARD RAILROADS.

The atmosphere hereabeuts is filled
with railroads and railroad talk.
Every other man that one meets
either has e railroad scheme or lie in
tsrested in somebody's else's scheme.
There are to be railroads from the
north and from the south, from the
east and the west, With cross lines
and branches innumerable. There
are to be coal roads and through
lines, parallel roads, opposition roads,
roads to the mines and roads to no
body knows where. The man whu
hasn't touch Of the railroad mania
ct this time is not of much account
anyway. If be can't build a road
himself he ought to have q friend
VINO can, for railroads are to be the
rage. 1t is more than likely that
about iour-fifths OF this railroad
racket is simply chatter. The
schemes will vanish into the ethereal
element from which they were born
before the engineer runs the pre-
liminary lines" In three or four
months from date people will know
more about railroads in this section
than they do now. By that time
somebody will be able to tell about
how many reads are to be built this
year, when, why, ETC., and a good
many persons who ara now enthusias-
tic in the matter, expecting big
things, lots of money, cheap freight
and passenger tariffs, lively competi-
ton and so on, will be cooled eff
There is to be railroad building, and
quite boom" in the business, but
nothing like what some persons are
apparently expecting. In proportion
to the population OF this republic,
there are not many railroad builders,
ard in proportion to the population
of Utsh, the number of those who
build roads here is limited. They
might almost be counted en- ones
fingers. Out of all this broad-gauge
and narrow gauge talk the HERALD
has heretofore sifted most of the facts
for its readers, whom it has kept in
formed as to what was being done
and what was really intended. Should
any new schemes be formed and have
anything for q foundation. the pToba-
bilities are the HERALD readers would
get the facts as soon as they could be
wormed or coRxsd from those who
have them. The real railroad build
ers are not much given 10 talk.
They work with their brains and
hands rather than their tongues,
hence it is sometimes difficult to
obtain anything from them in the
way of information. However, the
HERALD has heretofore been znoder-
ately successful in ascertsining what
are facts, and hopes to be so in
future.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1881-03-27

Every body has his ideas as to where
there should be railroads, and who
should build and own them. If
everybody's ideas were acted upon
We should have no roads, though
there would be a general throwing
away of money. fortunately the
men wno build the roads own the
money and enjoy The privilege OF
spending it as they think proper, and
not as Tom, Dick and Harry deem
best. For this reason the roads are
usually put where they are most
needed. For this reason, also, the
many roads that have been traced on
maps, or outlined in thoughts, for
immediate construction in Utah will
dTindle down, when work begins, to
three OF four. Practically the rail-
road building in Utah for the next
year or two, If the outlook definitely
indicates anything, will be confined |
to three roads. These are the Utah |
and Nevada running westward, mar
row gauge), the north and south |
trunk line, the terminus of which is |
at Milford, STANDARD gsuge). and the |
line en- which grading is being done |
10 Salina Cation, marrow gaugel. |
The last mentioned is now pretty |
generally understood TO belong to the
Denver and Rio Grande with which |
it is to connect on the eastern border
of this territory, and to be continued
to Salt Lake and Ogden, if no fur
Their. The scheme is said to embrace
the Utah and Pleasant Valley. No
doubt need be felt as to the construc-
ton of the line, which will give to
Utah its second railroad outlet. There
is q rich, enterprising and energetic
company back of it, and its field OF
operations is large and full Of valuable
resources. Perhaps within a year
Salt Lake will have the privilege and
pleasure of welcoming the advent OF
the narrow-gaugs which is to do SO
much for this city and the country
through which the road passes.
The line In which are comprised
the Utah Central, Utah Southern and
Utah Southern Extension, will be
pushed forward during the season
at least to the coal and iron fields of
Iron County. Perhaps 100 miles OF
track will be laid on this road within
the next twelve months.
OF equslimportsnce to the country
is the Utah and Nevada, the early and
rapid extension OF which has also
been fully determined upon. Work
will be started SIS soon as certain de-
tails have been arranged, which will
be in the course OF few weeks.
It is possible that the Utah Eastern j
will be brought into Salt Lake dur
ing the season, but up to the present
time the desired extension exists only
in talk. There is not even stable
foundation for any of the many !
rumors sfost concerning the building
Of the little coal road which We 90
much need. il
