A STATE OF SIEGE.
ABOUT THE RAILWAY SITUATION ON
THE CHICAGO LINES.

All the Roads Afraid to Take Huntington
Freight Because of the Boycott-Th,
Coupling Pin stin FIylng-mcendIaris
Charged at Aurora-Powderly Espresso,
HimseIf-The st. Paul Tied Up.
CHICAGO, March 3l.-At a mass meet
ing of the engineers, firemen, switch,
men, and brakemen of the Milwau,
kee & St Paul railroad Friday night al
762 West Lake street it was unanimously
agreed on general tie-up over the whole
system, to take effect at midnight
1t was decided that only the fast-mail train
should be taken out
There were present at the meeting beside
the Milwaukee & St Paul employees many
members of the three brotherhoods from the
Burlington, Pan Handle, Lake Shore and
Fort Wayne roads. The attendance was
very large, and not less than 200 gathered in
the hall
CHICAGO, March 81 The railway situation
here now is one of expectancy All the
roads are on the qui vive for strikes in pur-
suance of the apparent determination of the
switchmen to force. a "boycott" against the
Burlington, and very little or no Burlington
freight is being handled by any other road.
The st. Paul is tied up here and all along the
line there is feeling oppression, yet the
yards here are doing large amount of bust
ness and the strike would not be noticed by a
novice in railroading, The passenger service
is going ahead as usual.
Two or three cowardly outrages were per
petrated against the Burlington engineers
Friday, and the victims came Off with bruises

WASHINGTON CITY, March 3l-The house
refused, Friday, to agree to the senate
amendments to the bill to establish recipro-
cal commercial relations between the United
States and the South American nations, and
a conference committee was appointed. The
Mrs. Logan and Blair pension bills then came
up, and after long debate in which Tars-
ney, Taulbee, Hatch, and Matson opposed,
and Dockery and Cochran advocated their
passage, they were both passed, Mrs Logan's
bill by vote of Ia TO 95, and Mrs. Blair's
by l4S to 81. The opposition was based on
the ground that such measures set up class
of favored ones, and that there were many
generals widows who deserved such pensions
SO many that if they were granted the
money would not go around. A RECESS to
1880 was taken, at which hour private pension
bills were taken up and twenty four passed.
The following Democrats voted in favor of
the Logan pension bill: Anderson of Illinois,
Bggs, Bliss, T. j, Campbell of New York,
Chapman, sClardy, Cochran, Grain, Dockery,
Foran, Ford, Gay, Glover, Hayes, Hooker,
Howard, Hudd, Lagan, Lane, LAWYER, Mac
Donald, Mahoney, Mansur, McAdoo, Ne
Shane, Slerriman, Cultivate, Randall, Ray
ner, Rice, Sowder, Springer, Townshend,
Vance, Weaver, Wilkinson and Yoder
Chcadle, Flood and Wade, Republicans, voted
in the negative.

PARIS March 31.-The chamber of deputies
Friday, despite the opposition of the govern
ment, adopted by vote of 26S to 237 n mo-
ton of urgency for the bill introduced by the
extreme Left demanding a revision Of the
constitution. The ministry thereupon re-
signed.
In the debate which preceded the vote
Premier Tirard declared that if the chamber
decided to consider the proposal the ministry
would decline to accept the responsibility, as
it would furnish fresh argument in favor of
the audacious manifesto issued by dismissed
general. The defeat of the government upon
the question involved created tremendous
sensation.
Premier Tirard, upon the announcement of
the vote, went Immediately to the Elysee and
placed The designations Of the ministry in the
hands of the president. NJ. Carnot accepted
the designations, but requested them to retain
the conduct Of affairs until their SUCCESSORS
are appointed 1t is expected that NJ. Floquet,
president of the chamber of deputies, will be
summoned to form government,

THE REPORT LEAKED OUT.
Points of the Statement of the Majority
on the Mills Bill.

on the Mills Bill
WASHINGTON CITY, March 3l.-Although
the Mills tariff bill will not be reported from
the committee on ways and means to'the
house before Monday, and the statement of
the majority is under an injunction of secrecy
in the hands of the committee, its contents
are well and definitely known here The ma
jority report is of great length, and is largely
composed of an argument in favor of free
wool and tabular statements compiled by the
treasury department in support of the Stats
teal assertions which the majority make.
The report begins with the statement that
the surplus accumulation in the treasury last
year was S5j, 500 900, and that the estimated
surplus Of this year is SSl 10000 With re-
Ceipts growing larger and expenditures
smaller it is feared that the accumulation of
money in the treasury will work great injury
to business and bankrupt the people if con
greSs does not take some action to reduce the
revenue.
One way of making this reduction is to re-
duce taxation to the level of expenditures
and leave in the pockets of the people all
money needed for public purposes another
way is to raise the expenditures to the height
of taxation. The latter course the majority
of the committee deem unwise. Attention is
called to past eraS when reckless apprOpria-
tions were made. The committee say they
have determined to recommend a reduction
of the revenues from both customs and in
ternal taxation, and have carefully kept in
view the interests of the manufacturer, the
labore", the producer and consumer. The
imperfection of the bill offered is recognized,
but it is recommended as the best that could
be agreed upon. Our capacity to produce, it
is stated, is far in excess of the >quirements
OF our home consumption, and as a conse-
quence many of our mills are closed and
many of those still in operation are running
on short time
This vicious condition of business could
not exis. with low duties ON imports Pro
hlbitory tariff surrounds the country with
lines OF investment and prevents all life from
without, while trusts, combinations, and
pools plumber the people within The inter
eSts of the laboring man in the
proposed reductions in the tariff are
pointed out in detail The consump-
ton of raw materials which it is pro-

POWDERLY'S LAST CALL.


phia-His View of Stikcrs.
SCRANTON, Pa, March 31--The first an
swer to Powderly's manifesto in favor of the
educational plan recommended by the gener-
al master workman in his special call has
been received by him from Printers assembly
1879, of Philadelphia, and is as follows:
Local assembly 1879 printers, is first in the field
in response to your special call and don forget ii.
To your first second, third, and fourth questions
local assembly 1879 answers with an emphatic
"Yes" God hasten the new of education.
When questioned as to his opposition to
strikes, Powderly said; 81 am not opposed to
strikes, and would not say that men should
not strike, but would prevent the possibility
of hasty, ill-advised strikes, and would not
have over one at time. Strikes are like
fevers, and very contagious. When dozen
spring up at once they must fail An order
to strike is a declaration of war, and when |
order a strike | do not wish to array my
troops empty handed in front of II
trained army with plenty of ammuni-
ton, rations and reinforcements. We
have had too many such wars lately, and
having failed, it is time to give the real OBJ
iects of the order u chance. ! am satisfied
that the response to my circular will be in
favor of the educational feature by an over
whelming majority. If the members who
do not speak from public platforms or
through the press must pay the assessments
and expenses of this order, it is only fair that
they should be allowed an opportunity of ex
pressing their views on the question which
submit"
