LONG-DELAYED LEGISLATION.
The New Depot Ordinance Finally Passed by
the Board of Aldermen.

AT the regular meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night aside from the adoption of tn Q
report of the joint finance committee authoriz-
ing loan of $4,000 for term of one year. the
feature of the session was the passage of the
new depot ordi nance as it came from the Com
mon Council providing for the improvement of
the tunnel. On the adoption of the report Of
the special committee to which the ordinance
was referred, which authorized it's adoption and
the report of the city attorney. which gave the
opinion that the city was thoroughly protected BY
the ordinance, there was considerable discussion.
Mr.. Smith was in favor of laying the report over
until the Hext meeting, for the reason that the
ordinance did not specify when the money should
be PAID into the city treasury. His motion to
that end was seconded by Mr.. Prier, who doubt
ed if the money guaranteed by Mr.. Malott would
ever be paid in, for the reason that there was
nothing binding in the contract Mr. Malott's
word was good. but he was liable to die.
way Company could not be compelled
to make good the guarantee When the
report was put upon its passage it was adopted
by vote Of eight to two, Messrs. Smith and
Prier voting in the negative The ordinance
was then called up for the third reading, and Mr..
Smith offered three amendments, calling for an
exit gate to the depot sheds on the SOUTH max
ing the sum of the guarantee from the Union
hallway Company $3OUOU, instead or $lo.OOU,
and asking that the time for the pay
ing in of the money be specified.
The first two amendments were lost,
but there seemed to be prevailing opinion that
the last should be added and Mr. Malott, being
present, offered, rather than see the ordinance
delayed by having to go back to the Council. to
add to his letter, guaranteeing the $4,000,
that the money should be paid in by April 1,
1887. The report OF the committee was adopted,
as amended, and the ordinance was passed by
vote of to l, Mr.. Smith voting 10. The board
then adjourned

The Santa Fe's Chicago Line.

CHICAGO, Dec. ID One of the principal in
corporators of the Chicago. Santa Fe & Califor-
MIA Railway Company, which was mentioned in
the dispatches of Saturday, stated to a reporter,
to-day, that it was the purpose of the company,
which is composed of Boston and Chicago cap
italsts, TO begin at once the construction of a
road from Chicago to Kansas City. He declared
that while the stock was not held by Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Festockholders in any exclusive
sense. the road would. unquestionably, fall into
the control of that company, forming through
line from Chicago to California The incorpo-
rator would not state whether the Chicago Il St
Louis road had fallen under the control of the
new company, which was surmised in these dis
patches of Saturday.

The Trouble ON the L., N. A. & c.

The L., n A & c. has what may be termed a
heightened strike on hand. Some fifty of the
freight conductors yesterday resigned, as they
could not strike, being members of the Order of
Railway Conductors Their grievance is that
they are obliged to work too many hours for the
pay they get On that road when train is de-
layed on side track for any reason, is out be-
yond the time the train schedule calls for, the
engineer and the fireman get pay for this over
time while the conductor and brakemen do not.
This the conductors object to, and resigned on
the main line in body. and freight traffic was
at standstill yesterday. It is stated that Meth
er the conductors or brakemen will return
to work until they are to be allowed
pay for the time they are held
out beyond the schedule time for their train.
As the matter now stands engineers are allowed
30 cents per hour for overtime, and firemen 20
cents per hour. Connections at this point have
been notified to receive perishable freight for
the L., n. A. g. G. until further orders. An
officer of tho road said, last evening, the COM
pany would have their trains running all right
in day or two, as there were plenty of men
waiting for just such positions as the conductors
had made vacant IL reports are true the con-
ductors made mistake in not giving Superin-
tent Woodland sufficient time to learn and to en-
deavor to adjust the troubles without the
semblance of a strike.

cross 1t. There Is no point on it's lines not sub
Ject to composition as intense competition
can be. There are parallel roads on all sides
and roads crossing it at all points" This is the
plea for trying to save 1t as one line and the
claim made that otherwise it could not be
saved 1T all.
The Bee-line continues to make handsome ex-
nibits of earnings from all branches of it's traf-
&c, and 1t is stated that the earnings of Novem-
Der, when published, will show handsome in
crease over those of any preceding month of the
year The fact is that the road has never be-
fore been operated strictly business and
honorable principles as in the year 1856. While
economy has been looked after in all denart-
ments, the business of the road has not been
neglected. But the best feature of the years
operations is that there has been no boys play in
rate matters. Competitors of the Bee-line are
free to say that rates have been strictly main
tanned, and the undetermined schemes which the
Beeline had become notorious for resorting
TO, that they might get business have been un-
known; everything has been done openly and
squarely, and business men have felt that all
shippers were treated alike in rate matters who
shipped freights over the Bee-lne, either east or
west. and this. in the end proves the winning
aard.

been chosen TO preside over the land de-
partment Of the government for the
special purpose of making the present
administration obnoxious to the people of
the west, he could not have filed the DO
sition TO better advantage. His rulings
have been persistently against the honest,
bona-fde settler, while his Investigations of
the great. well known land steals by big
corporations have been half -heartod

who seeks his rights under the
land laws Of the country as an ac-
tual settler and occupant, is considered a
a fraud, until he proves himself horea.
He is harrassed by new rulings and the
annulment Of old Established regulations
of the land Office under which he has ac-
quired vested rights, and he is compelled
to incur extra expense in combating the
very officer who is paid by the govern
ment to protect his rights under the laws

GEN. SPARKS LATEST DECISION


"A married woman is incompetent 10

name. says Gen. Sparks commissioner
Of the general land office. TO the register
and receiver OF a Washington Territory
land office.
The decision. if applied to Iersons in
this territory, as it undoubtedly will be il
the decision Is not reversed By Secretary
Lamar, will deprive a great many women
in Wyoming of their rights accrued under
former decisions Of the land Office which
have now been cancelled by Mr. Sparks.
Heretofore the department has held that
married. women may make desert land
entries in their own names, in accordance
with the desert land act of March ., ls77,
which declares that Il shall be lawful for
any ciii rem Of the United States. or any
person Of requisite age who may be emit
lied to become a crdzen. and who has filed
mis- declaration 10 become such and upon
payment II twenty Ave cents per acre, to
file declaration under oath. etc. The
last clause Of the frst section of this act
reads as follows: That no person shall be
permitted to enter more than one tract Of
hand, and not 70 exceed 6l0 acres, which
shall be in compact form.
A married woman is certainly a per
son. nj least they are 70 considered hero
IN Wyoming. The laws OF this territory
also provide that a married woman may
hold property in her own name; and why
should a person" who has that right
under the law be exempted from the pro-
visions Of the desert land law?
Section 1892 OF the revised statutes Of
the United States says: IAN persons born
IN the United States and not subject to
n foreign power, excluding Indians not
taxed. are DECLARED To be citizens Of the
United States" Section 1894 provides
that any woman who is nov or may be
hereafter married 10 a citizen Of the
uaited States, etc shall be deemed a
citizen.
The conclusion naturally IL that any
somin born in the United States and Of

married or single, is entitled 70 make an
