Lansdowne, Lady Lansdowne and party
arrived tonight from Ottawa. This is the
first time that Lansdowne has ventured
away from Ottawa since his arrival from
England. The special train by which he

WAsHIy ON. Jan. Ex-senator Sher-
man has "n rendered the presidency
of the Ne horn Pacific railroad. He is
nndersto's not to have positively de-
clined it :, but feels that such must

tions are all toward great financial

bring his -reat talents to bear upon the
of the most gigantic trans
portation system in the country as mis-
fortune. He is weighted down, how
ever, by his duty to the political party
which has SO often honored him. To
resign his seat in the senate would result
in the election of Democrat; not only
that, but it would leave the majority in
The United States senate uncomfortably
close. As it now stands the Republican
majority is only four, counting Malone
and Riddleberger. Should Sherman go
out and Democrat come in, the body
would stand thirty-seven Republicans,
Democrats, and two Read
listers, or once more give Virginia the

PoRTLALD, Ore, Jan. 12.-Ovcr 200 re-
emily discharged railroaders boarded a
rest bound passenger and mail train at
'endleton, Ore, yesterday and demand
d to be taken to Portland free. The
abroad officials declined and ordered the

olently refused to pay their fare or get
