Congressional Notes.

WASHINGTON, April PA resolution
was offered by Mr.. German directing the
committee on library to consider the sub
iect of a celebration in 1889 Of the centen-
NAL anniversary of the formation of the
government. and in 1892 Of the 400th an
niversary of the discovery of America.
This resolution, Mr.. German said, was in
place of that already submitted by him
which called for a special committee.
The consideration of the senate bill fol-
the admission of Dakota was resumed by
the house committee on territories. Rep
r%esentative Baker, of New York, pre-
scented an amendment proposing to name
the northern half North Dakota, to sub
init the question OF division to the people
of the whole territory, and the question Of
admitting the southern half to the people
of hat portion. Representative Cooper
of Ohio, said the amendments seemed L
meet all the objections which had beer
raised, and advocated their adoption, anC
that the bill thus amended be reported
favorably. Pending action the COMMITTEES
adjourned.
The chair laid before the senate letter
from the secretary OF the interior trans
hitting information as to land gran
wagon roads in Oregon, and a copy of tn
session laws Of the territory Of Wyoming

NEW York, April 2l.-The strikers
held a meeting last night, at which it was
announced that a settlement was expected
this morning. The Italian consul was

sltion of last night, to return to work to-
day. The strikers were to assemble at
headquarters at 8 a m. to-day and if
their proposition was accepted, to return
to work at 10 o'clock.
At 7 a m. the police began to assemble
at the offices to prepare for the days

arrange their men, Five hundred were
on the ground. The first car started out

lutions refusing to accede to any of the
demands of the strikers in regard to the
men it shall or shall not employ, and re
fusing to discharge any non-union men,
or to take back any any strikers who have
destroyed property OF any strikers who
have melted Others to destroy property.
The directors intend to bring the whole
power of the law to bear against the
strikers and to run their cars at all haz-
ards. The cars have been ordered out
and the police were notified OF the inten-
ton of the company. The strikers feel
very bitter over the action of the directors
and trouble is expected to day or to-
morrow.
While the meeting of the strikers is
still in session, it is given out that a de-
termination has been reached to order a
tie-up of all street car %linesin the city at

he would be able to identify her.
Frank last saw his sister on the morning
OF her death. She was lying on the floor
and had no clothing over ler. She asked
him to lift her head upon a pillow and to

her mouth and carried her around the
house. McAndrews said they might
kill her for all he cared. The Sunday
before she died McAndrews removed
Mary's clothing, put her in a tub OF
water and then beat her with a horse
whip. This terrible story was c%orroborat-
ed by neighbors, and Coroner Dean, who

The Persuasion" Committees
Work.

ST. LOUIS. April 2l.-Latc last night a
Cairo Short Line freight train was made
up in the railroad yards in East St. Louis
and had proceeded on its way out of the
city, beyond the line of s%entries, when it
was boarded by a number of strikers who
seized one of the brakemen and dragged
him to the ground, where they admins
tered a severe beating before the military
guard could respond to his cries for help.
The brakeman is in a very bad condition.
When the present strike first com
menced the whole force of switchmen and
yardmen up the Cologne road, between
East St. Louis and Carondalet, vent out,
and the road was powerless. On several
different occasions they have brought men
in from other points and got them to
work for a few days, and were thus ena-
bled to do some business, but the knights
persuasion" committee always got hold
of these new men and induced them to
quit. The same performance was gone
through with on the Cologne road yester-
day, when the persuasion committee
interviewed six OF a small force of switch
men now at work there. and induced

Sparks Restores 1900 Acres to
the Public Lands.

lhC uOAlC 0hhdbs
WASHINGTON, April q. Commits.
sioner Sparks has made a formal demand
upon the st. Joseph 4 Denver City
Railroad company for reconveYaDce
to the United States of $4,000 acres OF
land alleged to have been wrongfully
patented to said company in 1874. The
tracts in question are lying beyond the
terminus of the constructed road between
Hastings and Kearney, in Nebraska. The
official statement of the case says the
road was authorized 20 connect with the
Union Pacific road or any Of its branches,
and that the connection was proposed to
be made at Kearney, on the main line of
the Union Pacific, and a map Of such To-
cation was filed in the land office in 1870.
Connection was made at Hastings on the
Burlington & Missouri road, a distance of
about forty miles less than Kearncy, the
company claiming that the Burlington &
Missouri was one of the roads included
in the Union Pacific granting act, and
hence a branch of the Union Pacific
within the meaning of the law. Lists of
selections of land between Hastings and
Kearney were filed and patents issued
therefor. The commissioner claims that
inasmuch as the company has no road be-
tween these points. the patents TO the
land we're %wrongfully issued.
