Mr.. Thomas of Wisconsin, rising to a
question of privilege, sent to the clerks
desk and had read an article in the New
York Sun, relative to pending railroad leg
slatiOn. The article states that a Ma or
Reddington, proprietor of bucket shop in
Washington, claimed he controlled such
anti-monopolistic members as Weaver Of
Iowa, Allen of Mississippi, Anderson OF
Iowa, shively of Indiana, and Thomas OF
Wisconsin. Mr.. Thomas declared he
did not know Reddington and had never
had any communication with him. He
was not interested in stocks and the whole
matter so far as he was concerned was an
absolute falsehood and lie. He said the
men who we're prowling around the corri-
dors interested in land grant legislation as
lobbyists had inspired the article. These
land grant grabbers-these Pacific railroad
men who had taken from the Treasury un-
der false pretenses $17S,O 100000 and 26,-
O00, 900 acres OF land-were seeking now to
Islander and besmear the character OF every
man who stands up for the rights of the
people.
Mr.. Allen, OF Mississippi, remarked that
the only time he had heard OF Reddington
was some two years ago, when he learned
that some Pacific railroad people were in
terested in getting some man out OF the
Office of Commissioner of Railroads. He
had afterwards. met a man who talked
fiippantly about the Pacific railroads and
whom he presumed to be Reddington. The

CmCAGO, March 14.-The anxiety among

the uncertainty OF the situation increases.
THY hope that conservative influences un.
