THE FREIGHT BOYCOTT OFF.


 Cars Pouring Into the ssQ" Yards in Streams-A Clever Move by Which the Strikers Hope 90 Regain Their Places.
 CHICAGO, April 4.-The huge boycott against the Burlington road was fully lifted to-day and the Burlington yards were jammed with freight from other yards, the move of the Rock Island in sending freight seeming to have become epidemic. Ten minutes af- ter the receipt of the Rock Island train @ B. & o. train steamed in and following this Shore. The roads having freight communi- cation with the 'sQ" continued sending to the 70" yards steadily. The Rock Island, the St. Paul and Pan Handle, the Lake Shore, the Northwestern, the Chicago and Atlantic, the Illinois Central, the Michigan Central and other lines were engaged in moving cars to the ''Q" There seemed to be no end to the freight that has been held in check by the boycott on "Q" interchange of cars. it is stated that the strikers calculated that in lifting the boycott the roads that had for weeks suspended relations would at once proceed to unload on that company all the
 
 would be to swamp the 70" with freight, the case they believed being that of all roads full ly equipped against one poorly equipped. It was thought that in the natural order the Burlington would receive more freight daily from the other roads than it could give to them, and that it would be a short time be- fore it would be obstructed with freight con- signed to it. Having achieved this the Burlington would be = required under the law to furnish facilities for the proper handling of freight. This might grow into a lever to move the men back into their old positions. It was a move worth making Up to tonight the judgment of those ordering it seems to have been good. A great deal more freight has been received by the 70" people than has been sent out. Whether they will be able to handle it all without difficulty and transact their own business as well with their present force remains to be seen.

The Board of Public Works meetiz

The Board of Public Works Meeting.
 At the meeting of the board of public works last night request was read to take down treo on Day street, also that c. w. Blakeslse might withdraw bids offered for the new sewers was granted. The matter of moving the Congress avenue bridge was brought up. Voted that the bridge be closed to travel for not more than six weeks and the city engineer be authorized to advertise for bids for the work. The contracts for the building of the new sewers resulted as fol- lows: Sewers on Water and Carlisle streets awarded to Matthew Kehoe, $3, ,5s0; sewer on Ashmun street to P. Maher, $6S4; sewer on Woolssy street to H. Kshoe, $2, 1880; sewer on Nicoll street to P. Msher, $425.50. A number of gentlemen were present and re- quested that the sewer on Howard av enue from the railroad bridge to Sea street be built at once. The cost will be $15, ,0e0, which will take the entire appropriation for sewers. There was considerable discussion on this subject A motion by Commissioner States that bids be advertised for resulted in the board being equally divided on the bject. Mayor York settled the question by voting for the motion with the provision that when such work camepto be done that such amount of money must be on hand. It was voted that on the Wednesday evening preceding the first Thursday in each month no public hearing be held or contracts be awarded Daniel Sullivan was appointed sewer in- spector.
 Mayor York and Commissioners Whitney and States submitted a report on the Lom- bard street extension, which is to be sent to the common council. The common councils attention is called to the difficulties in the way of the proposed extension of Lombard street, and recommended as a substitute the extension of Walnut and Castle streets The committee gives the opinion of the reopora- ton counsel that the city has no right to take the land for the Lombard street extension which the Consolidated road is going to build depst on, and cites certain cases settled in the courts as authority for his opinion. Besides, the expenses of the Lombard street extension will be greater than the substitute proposed The expense of building bridges and grading the roadway would be about the same in each ease (the portion to be paid by the city is estimated at $30, ,000), but the amount to be paid for land damages would probably be extension. The committee says to the common council that if it votes to extend Lombard street it may involve the city in tedious litigation. The committee says the company will suffer great damage, independent of the actual Valu0 or LuS. lauus 1T 1t IS Iak0u 4uo SIab1O0 will be an accommodation to people in Fair Haven and if Lombard street is extended it probably will not be built. The report con- cludes with: "The board is very ready to ac- knowledge that, all things being equal, the Lombard extension would be best; but, in view of the facts stated above, advises the adoption of the substitute proposed"
 Commissioner Todd moved that references | to other possible connections be made, and with this amendment the report was adopt ed.

HoUsE.-After the reading of the journal
 an effort was made by the friends of the
 special order-the direct tax bill-to make
 an arrangement by which final vote upon
 the measure would be insured to-day at five
 o'clock, but MT. Breckenridge of Arkansas
 objeeted to the proposition.
 MT. E. B. Taylor of Ohio moved to limit
 general debate to one hour. The opponents
 of the bill resorted to flbustering tactics.
 The day and evening was consumed with dilatory motions submitted by opponents of
 the bill, Messrs. Oates and Breckenridge be-
 ing the most active flibusters. At 1o:30 the clerk had called fifteen roll calls and was just beginning another. The prospects of an all night session were good. The seats and sofas in the rear of the chamber were occupied by members either asleep or chatting and smek- ing to keep awake. The atmosphere was heavy with smoke, the floor was strewn with old bills and scraps of paper. The galleries were nearly deserted and the House did not present cheering scene. The advocates of the direct tax bill feeling that an adjourn l ment would endanger the passage of the bill were Iaboring to prevent adjournment, while the other side were trying te bring it about. All attempts at 8 compromise between the | opposing factions have failed. The number of members present having dwindled down | to less than quorum the sergeant-at-arms was sent out to look up absentees. His first victim was Mr. Deugherty, of Florida, who begged of on the plea that he was suffering \ from malagia.
