ON THE BURLINGTON.
A Report AflOat That the Brake
men Will Soon Strike,

CHICAGO, March 25.-Nothing has yet
been done by the Burlington road in re-
gard to the hiring of new men to take
the places of the striking switchmens
and nothing will be done until o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, when, if the strik-
ers do not report for duty, they will be
discharged and will not be again en-
ployed by the company in any capacity.
The company is quite confident that 1t
can successfully cope with the new foe.
Already it has nearly 100 applications
for the vacant positions, and it is stated
all the places can doubtless be filled
with good men within twenty-four
hours. The strikers held enthusiastic
meetings to-day and resolved to be
firm in their new departure. lt
was ascertained tonight by an
engineer. who claims to be fully
posted in regard to the general
of the Burlington switchmen is the re-
suit of a perfect understanding and
agreement with Chief Arthur, of the
engineers, and Grand Master Sargent,
of the fremen. The allegation is made
that the brotherhood, finding the cause
of the Burlington strikers losing one,
finally determined to look for allies
in the camps of the switchmen and
brakemen. A deal was made by which
the switchmen on the Burlington were
to go out, and the brotherhood treasury
was to be drawn on to furnish them
with funds during the period that they
remained idle. 1t is also stated that
similar arrangement has been made
with the brakemen, and that strike on
their part may be looked for at any

The Farmers Alliance After a
Minnesota Congressman.


Special to the Globe.
WoRTHINGTON, Mimi, March 25.-At
meeting of the Farmers Alliance held
at this place yesterday, which was
largely attended, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
erS if jute, hemp and all other mater
were placed upon the free list; and,
Whereas, There is now bill pending
before congress for the removal of the
duty on said articles, and many other
neceSSaries of life; therefore. be it
Resolved, That we sincerely desire
that our representatives in congress use
all honorable means to aid such measure
to become law; and be it further
Resolved, That whereas Hon. John
Lind, representative from this district,
is reported as having arrayed himself
against said measure on the ground
that it places flax and beans on the free
list, and that he fears if it becomes a
law foreign nations will import said
commodities into this district to such an
extent as to injure our home market;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we believe his opposi-
ton to said measure is without founda-
ton and SaVOrS of a disposition to favor
mOnOpolies rather than the wishes of
his district, and that if he persists in
opposing said bill without giving
stronger reasons than the above flimSy
excuse, we will hold him responsible
for being guided by partisan impulses
rather than candOr or the wishes of his
constituents,

INTO THE THOUSANDS.
A Michigan Man Who Is Too
Handy With Signatures.

DETROIT. March 25.-Joseph B. Kemp,
an upholsterer doing business on Clin-
ton street, was arrested yesterday and
taken to Ionia by Sheriff Lee, of that
county, on charge of forgery. Sheriff
Lee had warrant sworn out by the
Murphy Mattress and Spring Bed COM
pany of this city, based on one especial
note of $40, to which Kemp is alleged to
have forged the name of Murphy Il Co.
and used it in payment of bill for
lumber at IOnia. Sheriff Lee, however,
exhibited several notes which had been
given into his possession, all of which
Lee claimed to be forgeries executed by
Kemp. Kemp was manager of a
contract which Murphy q Co. had at
the IOnia prison, but resigned his posi-
tion in September last. 1t was part of
Kemp's duty to purchase lumber of
various parties. The bills were sent on
to the firm in this city and check for
the amount returned. The indOrse-
ments on some of the checks are al
legged to be forgeries. Mr.. Murphy said
last night: "We have found recently
that many of these bills were plainly
fictitious. The amount reaches up into
the thousands. We can not tell as yet

TWO SENSATIONAL CASES

EAU CLAIRE, March 25.-The March

10 criminal and 107 civil cases on the

AMERICAN CONSERVATISM.
BalfOur Utters Words Of Praise
for the Great Republic.

By Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, March 25.-It is expected
that the budget, which will be intro
duced in the house of commons by Mr..
Goschen tomorrow, will present many
original features and some hitherto un-
conceived plans for remodeling the fiscal
system. 1t is strongly suspected that
heavy taxes will be imposed upon per-
sonal property, and the question arises
in the minds of those most interested in
this species of taxation, has Mr.. Goschen
solved the problem of taxing personal
property without subjecting the tax
payer to anodious inquisition? If the
authorities charged with the assessment
of personal taxes were to be stripped OF
inquistorial power, it would doubtless
matter little to the persons assessed
be placed. but in the absence
of any information on this point
there is a general feeling of appre-
hension that the government will
provide means to ascertain the exact
liability of every person affected by
the proposed change. Mr.. Balfour's
speech at Staleybridge last evening has
attracted a great deal of attention. In
declaring his belief that America is the
MOST CONSERVATIVE NATION
in the world. The Irish secretary eX-
planned that the term conservative was
applied to the affection of the Amerl-
can people for their institutions. This
remark and its explanation have
caused considerable distrust of the gov
ernment's sincerity in introducing the
local government bill and other reform
measures, and great deal of specula-
ton among amateur politicians as to
what the ministerialistS intend to do.
The adherence of the Americans to the
institutions handed down by their fore
fathers, Mr.. Balfour said, is a remarka-
BILE example of national pride and ma
tional strength, and in respect of this,
the finest form of conservatism, Amer
lea stands first in rank in the civilized
world. England, owing to the strength
of her institutions, is only slightly be-
hind the republic. The general opinion
is that if Mr.. Balfour's speech means
anything at all, it indicates the idea of
the government to make as few and as
slight changes as possible in the exist
ing institutions of the kingdom, no
matter what it may promise to do.

advices received from Pierre, Dak., re-
port that the marriage of Miss Fellows,
of Washington, to the Sioux Indian,
Chaska, is near at hand; that invita-
tiOnS have been issued, ETC., that the
father of the bride and her two broth
ers are present awaiting the ceremo-
MES, and that, if the ceremony actually
takes place, the brothers intend shoot
ing ChaSka. The author OF this roman
tic story appears to be rather reckless
about his facts, as Col. Fellows is still
in Washington, and, when shown the
dispatch last night. said:
''In the first place, am not there, as
You see. Secondly have no son, and
consequently Miss Fellows can
not have two brothers with her,
armed to the teeth, prepared to stop the
wedding. Again, no white man is
allowed on the Indian reservation,
which is several hundred miles in ex-
tent, and therefore, no ranchmen or
cowboys could have been invited.
Lastly, it is utterly impossible for any
human being to get news from Swift
Birds camp to Pierre, owing to the con-

The last letter received by Mr.. Eel

THE SOLONS' SCHEDULE.
Many Things Congress Is Not
Likely tO Do This Week.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-There will
probably be struggle for precedence
in the senate tomorrow between Sem
atOr Palmer, with his bill to establish a
bureau of animal industry, and Senator
Platt with his South Dakota bill. Sem
atOr Palmer's bill holds the position of
unfinished business, but Senator Platt
will ask that it be displaced. Both sem
at0rS express purpose to do their Ut
most to secure the right of way. The
winning measure is likely to take I'D
nearly all the time of the senate through
out the week. Wednesday will be de-
voted TO the obsequies of the late chief
justice. The Memphis bridge bill may
secure hearing in the morning hours,
and it is probable that Senator Wilson,
OF Maryland, will some time during the
week ask that the regular order be laid
aside to afford him chance
to deliver his speech on the
character of the Western mail service.
One day may be devoted to unObiected
cases on the calendar. District of Col
umbia matters will occupy the first leg
lslatlve day of the week in the house,
prominent among them being the bills
to promote anatomical science in the
district by giving paupers' bodies to
HiCulCdl COllCScS, anu Illt GeOfSetOWn
and Tenaleytown cable railroad bill,
both of which will be subjects of con.
troversy.
THE COMMERCE COMMITTEE
will be given the floor Tuesday. Ii has
selected large number of bills for ac-
tion, including the Nicaragua canal
bill, the bill to loan government eXhib-
its to the Ohio centennial exposition, the
bureau of health bill, the ''drummers' +"
bill and the bill to prevent frauds on
American manufacturers, in addition to
great number of bridge, light house
and life-savlng station bills. 1t is also
the intention to call up the postal tele-
graph bill, not for action, but to raise
and determine the question as to the
right of the commerce committee
to substitute such bill for the one
which proposes to place telegraph
companies under the operation of the
interstate commerce law. Wednesday
will witness the funeral services over
the remains of the late chief Justice.
The public lands committee will en-
deavor to get the house to resume the
consideration of the general public
lands bill on Thursday. The Logan
Blair pension bills will probably give
rise to an interesting debate Friday and
the week will close with the considera-
ton of bill reported from the committee
on private land claims. The tariff bill
prepared by the majority of the ways
and means committee will make its adj
vent in the house early in the week and
