WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Representative
Willsts, Mich, to-day submitted to the house
the bill heretofore agreed upon by the house
judiciary committee to prevent persons In
living in bigamy or polygamy from holding
any civil offices of trust or profit, in any of
the territories of the united globe and adjust
ers In Congress. Accompanying the
bill Is a report which declares no
person shall, hold office under
The authority of congress, who violate the
statute that is justified and demanded by the
positive sentiment uf civilization In cOnclu.
sion the report says: ''It matters not In our
Judgment that this violation is exercized or
defended under the guise of religion. Your
committee recognize the fact this bill falls far
short of what the country justly demands and
that in many respects VEGAS the representatives,
of the nation, will fail in our duty if We do not
prosecute measures looking to more radical
movement of the evil which has in the last
fifty years intrenched itself In our political
system propose to supplement this with
other propositions that may perhaps elicit
opposition as to a radical, but which in our
Judgment, are absolutely necessary and these
propositions are being considered by the COM
mittee. In the meantime we propose this
measure, which Is practical in its character
and likely to pass without any considerable
dissent, and we hope will SO commend itself
to cong ress may speedily become a law.

Transportation Strike on the Pullman Car
Company cp
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE determination OF the
Pullman Palace car authorities at Pullman.
that workmen at their shops should pay ten
cents per day for rides TO and from work in
Chicago, has aroused decided feeling of
hostility. Heretofore transportation has
been furnished free to employees at an expense
of $4,000 per month, and it was held by the
company that the employees should share half
of the expense. To-day, when the company
announced the pay system, the carpenters and
painters Immediately struck and gathering
several hundred allies repaired to the market
square and held an orderly meeting. Several
speeches were made and committee ap-
pointed, who waited upon the manager. He
met them kindly and frankly told them
there was no. likelihood that the company
would recede from its position on the fare
question, while willing to oblige the men on
other points; that the company had already
paid out 5000, 600 for transpor tation of its en-
ployes, and we're willing still to pay half the
cost. The result of the interview was re-
ported to the meeting which forthwith de-
cided on general strike, unless Mr.. Johnson,
of the Pullman Car company, would rescind
the fare order. The men agreed to form q
union in any event and tomorrow will
probably determine whether a strike shall
ensue.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.--Talk about fan. If the
bears didn't get it all to-day, then am no
good. Wheat opened at 81 .29l for March,
but the shorts filled In in lively manner,
making sharp advance and running prices
up to $1AX. Then she sold down and closed
quiet at noon at 81 %, but how the call did
stick the boys. Armour began by giving pork
drop of IS cents, and, of course, everything
had to follow his lead. The market on the
curb is now $1.20x for March wheat and 1t
must 60 lower. tits just as told you yes
terday, there had to be some
reaction after the big decline
and it came, it saw, and got left, and will get
still further left If operators don't get on the
bear side. There is no use for wheat at what
we think its worth, and the quicker the boys
can get out of it the better. 1t was a regular
blue Tuesday to-day, and to see the boys
hunting for margins after the call was enough
to make the noble sons of bruin laugh. She's
got to 60 lower and think in this respect the
down turn will be assisted by the busting OF
q large house which has been very largely
long for some time.
Corn braced up better than any thing else
on the list but had to tumble with everything
on the cali. Cuss Pretty Phil, he has made
this the warmest days we have ever had in

LAND TITLES.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 14.-The senate com.
mittee on public lands discussed at length the
resolution to Instruct the attorney general to
defend titles to western homesteads which are
claimed by railroad companies to have been
included in land grants to them. This resolu.
ton involves directly the lands included in the
recent decision of Judge Miller at Omaha, but
Indirectly it touches the titles OF many other
homesteads. The question is whether entries
made upon land included in railroad grants
before that land was formally and finally with
drawn BY the government are good or not.
Senator Plumb stated that he knew at least 500
cases where this question entered into the
title, and that there were hundreds OF other
cases. The committee did not come to any
conclusion.

Election Contests.

Tsp. cial to Western Associated Fress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The committee on
elections of the house tonight considered the
Campbell Cannon contest. Another session
was appointed for tomorrow morning, at
which it is expected decision will be reached.
The opinion generally expressed is that the
committee will report in favor of sending the
election back to the people of Utah. 1t is
doubtful if such report will be accepted by the
house, Many Of the best lawyers of that
body are agreed that the fact Of Cannon's
polygamous record Is not a ground upon
which the house can legally deny him admis.
sion, while 1t is quite within the province of
the house to expel him on that account. It
is urged should he 60 back to the people he
would undoubtedly be reelected by large
majority, as before, and the result would be
rather to add to his power and popularity In
the territory. Should he, however, be first
seated, and then by two-thirds vote be ex-
PEELED, he could not again be admitted to the
present house, if precedents are followed, nor
probably to any other subsequent house.
The case of Smith against Robertson, Sixth
Louisiana district, will be dismissed by the
committee at its session Tomorrow. This,
with the contested cases of Lanes against
King, Third Louisiana, and Snobes against
Oates, Third Alabama, was dismissed upon
the theory adopted by the committeeman to
20 into eases in which the candidate does not
claim to have received an actual majority of
the votes put into the ballot boxes. The con.
testants clam that only intimidation prevent
ed free election, which would have resulted
in their election. The contestants, however,
in each of the above cases, will file memorial
asserting that the sitting member should be
unseated, because of improper and illegal
practices at the elections. The same course
will be pursued as to several other contests
which will in turn be dismissed by the COM
mittee on elections.

Gertifcatio,s of Checks

WAsH1NeroN, Feb. 14.-secretary Folger
has in communication to the senate finance
committee, submitted his views at length on
Beck's bill to prevent unlawful certlfeation of
checks by national banks. The secretary does
not think the passage OF this bill will effect
the object in view, as he says the question of
what constituted an unlawful eertificatlon
would still have to be submitted to jury.
There is already law on the statute books to
this effect, and the secretary does not think
the Beck bill can add any special force to it.
He thinks there should be an inquiry into the
arrangements by and under which certificates
are effected, and If those arrangements and
over certifcation under them are looked upon
as repreheusible, bill should be framed that
will def e what particular things shall be
deemed violations Of law, and thoy, If willful,
be declared mlsdeheauors.

who preferred the charges, Col. Bruce and
Kent, chief of finance of the paymaster gen.
erals Office, were Intercepted and the com.

The stock has been depressed ten points
