In the Committee.Ro oms

The consideration Of the Senate bill
for the sd 1issicn Of Dakota into the
Union of States was resumed by the
House Committee on Territories to-
day. Repre- e1tative Baker OF New
York presented amenments proposing
to submit the question of division tc
to the people OF the whole Territory
aud the question Of admitting the
southern haf under the question al.
ready fixed to the people Of that por.
ton. Representative Cooper of Ohio
said the amendments seemed to meet
all the objections which had been
raised, and advocated their adoption
and the bill thus amended be reported
fsvorably. Pending action the com-
mittee adjourned.
Senator's Beck and Blackburn were
before the Senate Committee on Post
offices and Postroads this morning to
advocate and oppose respectively the
nomination Of Mrs, Thompson TO be
postmistress at Louisville.

the mob. For this reason it cannot
be trusted TO msiutain the laws. II
would be folly, criminal folly, to trust
the defense Of law and order TO the
local police"
The scene on the Lake shore road
ct Forty-frst street at 6 o'clock this
morning was devoid Of interest. Half
dozen sleepy policemen rubbed their
eyes and tried TO keep up converse.
ton with half dozen just rs sleepy
strikers, who were on guard nominal
ly for the purpose of assisting the po-
lice to look after the property OF the
company in case Of emergency, but vt
the SINE time keeping a sharp look-
ont on the engines in the round
houses. A system Of signals, 1t is
claimed, has been devised Dy the
strikers, which, in case any attempt is
n ale by the company 10 move freight
under cover Of the darkness, will call
them out in full force. By O'Clock
the rikers began TO assemble on the
corners, and, while II was not general
ly supposed that the company will
take any iorcible measures to-day, the
strikers declare they are ready for any
thing. II the worst comes to the worst,
said one OF the men, and the militia
ara called out, and we are forced to
leave the yards, we will still have the
bulge on the company, for they can't
get car moved on any outside road.
Sheriff Hanchett said this forenoon
that he had not sworn in any deputies
as yet, but that he had list OF men
selected, which he would use il neces.
sary. 1t was bis opinion, however,
from what he had heard that there
would be no necessity for it, ss he had
heard that the strike would be settled.
The Lake Shore cars, the majority
Of which are bound for Chicago, are
side-tracked eaet of South Chicago.
Nany Of these cars contain bonded
GOODS, which are in a measure under
the protection Of the United States
Government. II is thought that an
attempt will be made 10 bring them In
over the Michigan Central read.
In consequence OF the lack OF bust
ness caused by the Lake Shore strike,
about fifty freight handlers employed
by the Rock Island road at Enelewood
have been discharged.
The inbound trains on the Lake
Shore road brought fifteen to twenty
switohmen TO Chicago to-day. They
came mostly from Toledo and Cleve-
land In response TO orders from head
quarters here for men to take the
places Of the strikers. The union in a
short time had committees circulating
throughout various hotels, arguing
" Tn the men and inducing them TO
give up their Intention OF filing the
vafaucies. In many cases they were
successful, and by dint Of promises
and argument they claim to have won
over nearly all the arrivals. Nearly
all the men seemed TO have a misap.
prehension OF the state of affairs here
and to have come only with the idea
Of obeying orders and getting work.
One man from Toledo says he was told
by Supt. Curtis there that il he did not
20 to work in Chicago, he could not
work anywhere else on the Lake Shore.
The strikers are confident that they
,an prevent any switching being done
hereafter without attempting violence.

or demands a price deemed by the
Secretary to be excessive, the Secre-
lsry is direct d to acquire the works

OF bis discretion, TO take possession Of

clause as extraordinary, unconstitu-
tional and without precedent. 1t pro-
posed to confer on an executive officer
Of the government the power TO seizs
private franchises aud private rights
without due process OF law.
The Chair (Mr. Wellborn) TEX I
ruled that the point ives not well
taken, as the rePs )ns given in support
went entirely b the question OF the
expediency Of the legislation.
Mr.. Reagan TEX. then moved 10
strike out the clause declaring that it
was a plain proportion to confscate
the property Of the company and to
ignore its charter rights.
Mr.. Bayne PA. said that the Mo-
nongahela river was national high
way, and in support OF that PROPOSE
ton declared that the tonnage OF that
river was greater than that ot any
other river in the country or OF the
harbor Of New York. All this tom 'ge
would have to pay tribute TO corpora
tions il the clause we're stricken from
the bill. The coal land lying adjacent
TO the river YVES worth not less than
$50 000, 100000 and the tax paid by
every acre Of that land to a private
corporation amounted TO an average
OF $3.50. Here was a nuisance that
ought to be, and could be, abated.
The company claimed that it had
made the Monongahela river naviga-
BILE. 1t had been navigable river
before the company located there, be-
caufe the tonnage of the river had
gone out on the high freshets at the
very time that the tonnage of the
Ohio river went out, and that COM
merce would have gone out il the
Navigation Company had never
placed lock or dam on the river.
Mr.. Blanchard La defended the
clause.

Mr.. Jay Gould. always sweet-voiced. persua-
sive and ingenious, has no trouble i'm finding
reasons why his railway companies did not at
once come to terms with their striking en-
ployees. The Texas and Pacific road, he says.
where the strike originated, is in the hands of
the United States court, and no other body or
person had any right to offer or accept terms of
compromise. The strikers may be too polite to
inquire who sucked the blood out of a healthy
corporation, devoured its meat, picked its bones
nice and clean, and compelled the surrender of
Its control to the court Upon that point, too,
Mr. Gould il significantly silent
