DAYS ago in Denver, Colorado, for the
purpose of regulating freight traffic over
the Southwestern roads, one OF the main
points to be considered being the proven
ton of rate.cutting at Ell Paso, have come
to startling conclusion. They came to
an agreement to close the general offices
of all the trunk lines centering at Ell
Paso, thus virtually side-tracking it, and
reducing it to the level of an ordinary
way-statlon. This is very heroic treat.

order to relieve him of the toothache.
The merchants of Ell Paso have already
taken measures to meet this step by a
general combination to patronize here.

The news from Burmah continues to
show very unsettled state of affairs in
that region. Incendiarism and rebellion
| are spreading all over Upper and Lower
Burmah, and numbers of leading mer.
chants and others have been arrested on
charges of completely in the insurrection

differences between England and China
over Burmah continues to widen, and the
affairs of the two powers have never been
in more unsatisfactory condition. Un-
less China's claims are soon settled, it
looks as though England will shortly
have China on her hands The great
crisis at home has so occupied the minds

The Tribune's London cablegram says:
Gladstone has now definitely resolved to
bring the whole pressure of the party or.
ganization to bear against the Independ.
ent Liberals who are intending to oppose
the home rule bill. To give time to allow
| these influences to work, further delay is
| necessary, and the debate will be indef-
nitely protracted. A division is not now
| expected before June LIST, and it may
probably be still further deferred. A
fresh series of letters has been addressed
to the local Liberal associations, not only
from the Liberal headquarters in London
| but in some cases by members of the
| Government urging the use of all availa-
bic means to prevent their representa-
tives from opposing the second reading of
| the bill.
The decree establishing a minor state
of siege at Spreinburg, Germany, will
take effect on the LIST OF June. Hitherto
it has been confined to Berlin, Hamburg
and Leipsic. The cloth-makers and glass
workers in the factories in Spreinburg
are holding strike meetings, and at those
meetings there is considerable incendiary
talk. The existence of this state of
affairs has caused the issuance of the
edict. 1t is reported that the police of
Spreinburg have been instructed to en-
force those clauses of the Socialist law
forbidding private persons from carrying
arms in proclaimed district, and that
they also have been ordered to prevent
the sale of Socialist and other papers and
pamphlets advocating strikes.
1t is believed that the House Foreign
Affairs Committee will be able to get the
floor to-day, when it is expected that the
Chinese indemnity bill, which has al
ready been debated upon for two days,
will be passed without much difficulty.
Representative Morrow's Chinese Re.
striction bill will then be taken up An
effort will be made to amend the bill re.
ported from the committee, so as to in.
clude the most Of its original provisions,
and its passage is believed to be assured
Representatives Cox and McCreary Of
the committee will make speeches in ia
vor of the bill, and probably all the mem-
bers Of the California delegation will adj.
vocate the passage Of the measure.
