SPRINGFIELD, H., Feb. 12.-There is no
change in the senatorial situation and none
peed be looked for until several ballots have
indicated the preferences of the doubtful
few. If Gen. Logan and Col Morrison can
hold their men they can only prevent the
election Of one another, but also of any of the
capitalists who are accused Of being ready to
spring into the breach and invest in
the senstorship. 1t looks now as If
Morrison could not hold his fellows very

come to Washington on this duty, believing
the interests of Minnesota in the exposition
as well as those of all states and territories
and the honor of the country, demand that
congress shall come TO the rescue, and that
public sentiment now evidently against

so, must be restored to its favor. Commits

New Orleans and resume his duties in care
of the state exhibits at the close OF this week.
The state has greater concern in the contin-

report greater in importance and variety

controversy exists between the Omaha

should pay the switchmen between the Min ne
apolis Union depot and the first bridge. For
some time the Omaha company has been
employing two switchmen to turn switches
and semaphore lights which have been OF
equal i'm portance to the Manitoba and Omaha
roads. Omaha people believe that they have
no right TO pay anything, as the Manitoba
operates the depot and therefore afford the
other roads the accom- odations necessary for
them. They will settle the affair without

ExTRAvAGAYT CONGRESSMAN.

What It Costs the Country TO Have Such a
Luxury as Congress.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.- The legislative
appropriation bill making appropriations for
the next congress has just been completed
and printed. It gives some idea Of what it
costs to have z congress. In the list of ex-
penses the first item, the compensation Of
senators, is put down at $3.50, 900, while for
pay Of the members of the house the sum
Of s1,896,O0O is appropriated, max
ing over $4,000, GOO in salaries
aloneS to mem bcrs. Then there are
still greater expenses in the aggregate though
none so large in a single item. The mileuge
Of members Of the house and senate is alone
nearly $3.50, 900. For clerks to committees,
messep gers and others to wait upon and
serve
HONORABLE STATESMEN,
the sum OF S627, QUO is asked Even the lit
lie item Of stationery counts up sum TO be
appropriated by the bill as reported Of
over 100000. Then, too, there is the usual
appropriation for the botanical garden, the
principal purpose Of which seemed to be to
wives CT through them to some other person s
wife. get Sl1, 900. For the library of congress
the appropriation is s37, 900. On the whole
congress seems 10 be doing pretty well. Over
s2,000, 600 for the salary list; $50 900 for
stationery, over S3S, 900 for literary, S1l, 600
for bouquets and more than half a million
for persons to wait on them and do work,
incident TO their presence here. In this con-
nectiou it is not uuinteresting to say some
thing about
WHAT CONGRESS EAs DONE
and has not done. II has passed the French
spoiation claims bill, q really good work,
that ought to have been done more than half
century ago 1t has not passed the bank
ruptcy bill nor the educational bill nor any
Of the land grant forfeiture bills that it
started in on so bravely. 1t has made mo-
lions in the way Of passing two interstate
commerce bills, but has not
passed It and will not. The senate
bill will die in the house and the house bill
in the senate. The house calendar shows
something Of what has not been done. It's
issues OF Monday and Friday, aud that for to-
morrow IN sight shows eighty pages of bills
considered by committees and reported TO
the house, and not one Of them likely to pet
Rction, for it IS generally conceded that the
only work left for congress to do, the only
work it eau possibly do, Is the passage Of the
appropriation bills.

Rmmors Concerning the Missouri Pacific
Special to the Globe


ST.. Louis, No.. Feb. 12.-The approach
Of the day set for the annual election Of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad company has given
rise to q number Of rumors concerning its
officers, the possibility Of a change Of man
agement being the foundation for most Of
them. Recently telegram from Atcbison
announced that Mr. Hoxsie, third vice presi-
dent Of the road, would resign within thirty
days. This was denied By those who are In
petition TO know Mr. Hoxsie's intention.
The latest rumOr is even more surprising.
1t is 70 the effect that Commissioner Albert
Fink.of the trunk line pool, will, at the coming
election, be indicted into a high official
position In the company. At ali events 1t is
very distinctly stated in quarters where the
same authority ia supposed to repose, that
Mr.. Fink will become attached TO the Mis-
sour Pacific road within a month. The fact
of Mr. Fink's visit to New Orleans coiDcid-
ing With that Of Mr. Gould lends color TO the
statement.
