DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION.

Congressman Anderson, of Kansas, Makes
IA Flank Movement in the House.
WASHINGTON. March 2j.-COngrcSSman
Anderson, of Kansas. achieved a success
Yesterday without parallel in the history of
the House, by which he obtained unani-
nous consent that the Committee on Labor
should have leave at any time to report and
consider legislation proposed by them pro-
viding for arbitration between railway com
panieS and their employees, the same not
to interfere with the consideration of
revenue and appropriation bills. At
least One-half of the members were
disposed to object and many gentlemen
We're on their feet ready To- call Tor the
regular order, but when Mr. Anderson
directed attention 10 the fact that no rail
road wheel was now turning west of St.
DLOuis and Kansas City in the Transports
ti0n of freight, and that therefore imme
diate action had become necessary To avert
an impending calamity, the ObiectOrS were
compelled to desist lest they might be held
hereafter to responsibility they could not
afford TO meet. Even the railroad repre-
senta;ives On the floor, who are always
alert On such occasions dared not
lift their voices to object. s1his
order of the House makes it al
most certain that speedy action will be
taken in some way to meet the present
emergency by legislation providing for arbi-
tratiOn. a cOnsummatiOn which under the.
rules of the House could not have been ac-
cOmplished. This matter is a theme for
general conversation in political circles, and
II is evident from opinions freely expressed
by members that the tabor question is now
Overshadowng in importance the tariff,
silver coinage and all other National issues.
So great has been the demand for the Arbi-
:raiiOn bill introduced by Congressman An
-.erson on Monday afternoon and printed
yesterday that not single copy can be OBJ
tanned until another edition shall be.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, March 24-The
''red men" are again plying their deviIish
business in the interior, and unless some
thing is soon done TO check their IawIess-
ness the reign of terror of two years ago
bids fair to be repeated. Only three weeks
ago man was taken from his home and
whipped till almost dead, and now we have
news from Ritche County that dwelling
has been surrounded by a mob of fiends,
the building fired over the heads Of the
family and the husband driven, wounded,
to the woods with his wife and children. The
victim of this latest outrage is Robert
Glover, who resides near the village Of
SmithYille.
