Moving Its Trains Regularly.
CHICAGO, March 2d.-Arthur and his
heutenants aud the officials on the Burlng-
ton road both report no important develop
ments in the strike situation this morning
The road claims to be making steady gains
in their fight; that their passenger service
is practically the same as before the strike,
and they are moving freight on every di-
vision of their line to-day, and not one of
the Reading men whom they employed in
the strikers places has yet deserted.
AT the Brotherhod quarters it was learned
that men will be sent TO the Pennsylvania
region, where they will endeavor to per-
suade the Brotherhood men on the Read
ing road to carry out their part of the bar
gain made between Chief Arthur and the
Knights of Labor.
1t was also learned that unless the
Northwestern and st. Paul. Chicago &
Alton and the Chicago and Illinois roads
cease aiding the Burlington road in their
passenger business, as it is claimed they have
been doing, a strike will be ordered on all
their lines tomorrow afternoon A con-
ference of the officials of the lines men,
toned will be held here tomorrow.

carry out the work of taking down, trans
porting and re-erecting the structure on
some eligible location in Chicago As yet
no site has been decided upon, though sew

was unbearable. He declared that the
Italian Government did not prohibit
the jubilee fetes because it was in its own
interests that it acted, and not from any

Catholic world must be aware of the situa-

ment was possible until the independence
OF the Papacy was restored.

New YORK, March 2d.-The Tribune saws
editorially concerning the tariff bill: The
first impression which the perusal of this
bill produces is that it could never have
been framed by sane men with an expecta-
ton that it would pass.
The World says: The bill has the appear
ance of an honest measure. 1t will, if en-
acted, reform the tariff and reduce the sur
plus.
The Times says The bill is by far the
most important fiscal measure brought be-
fore Congress since the close of the war.
Il may be said to be the most important
of any sort submitted to Congress
since the war, with the exception of the
amendments and the bill for
the resumption of specie payments.

I DAY OF THE WEEK AT MANILLA.-Al-
though the Philippine Islands lie near to
the Asiatic coast it was by Spaniards who
sailed eastward from America that they
were settled. Did they revise their calen-
dar when they crossed the magic line, and
strike out day to keep themselves abreast
of the times? No such thing; the Span
ish dons of that day were proud and fiery
folk, and if their calendar did not agree
with the times then SO much worse for the
times. Anyhow, the fact remains that
when they arrived at the Manila or
Philippine Islands they still reckoned by
the calendar which had been taken from
Spain to America, and from America by
them on their voyage. They were, of
course, a day in arrear; but there were not
then any important settlements of civilized
nations thereabout with whom the date
could be compared the error was not no.

in consequence, the inhabitants of Manila

ANOTHER PLAN.
The Chief Features of Randalps Proposed
Tariff Bill.

fCopwght, 1888, by the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 2d.-Randalrs tariff
bill, which is nearly completed, will not
make wool free. The reduction in customs
and internal revenue will reach $50, 900, 600.
All taxes will be taken off tobacco and
fruit spirits, and the whisky tax will be re-
duced from 80 to As cents per gallon.
These changes would effect a reduction of
S63,000000, divided as follows: Tobacco.
$50 100000; spirits distilled from fruits,
$1,000 600; whisky, S30,O00,OO0; special tax
100000. The remaing SIT 100000 would
be taken from the customs duties, and
would come mainly from transfer from
the dutiable to the free list.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The interest and
energy now being displayed by the citizens
of Auburn, in improving and beautifying
the town, is l think, really worthy of a
commendatory notice in the columns of
your valuable paper. Nature has done
much, but. heretofore, her residents have
done but little to improve and render more
attractive the natural beauties of this lovely
place.
Fair Auburn, queen among the hills
The resort for pleasure, and cure of ills
If, indeed, there are towns that have
retrograded since the decline in profitable
placer mining, Auburn is certainly an ex-
ception, for this town is more prosperous
and progressive at the present time than IN
earlier days, when the gulches and ravines
were glittering with gold. But in regard
to what is being done:
The grandest and most necessary i'm
provement is our new water system, intro
duced by Mr.. Birdsall, of your city When
entirely completed, every hotel, office and
dwelling can be supplied from cellar to
dome with clear, cool mountain water at
moderate cost. Perhaps the greatest of all
benefits to be derived from the water works
is tie protection it will afford against fire.
Heretofore the town has been completely
exposed to this destructive element, with
out the least facility for extinguishing or
arresting its progress. But now, with an
abundant supply of water and with the aid
two efficient fire companies recently
formed, the property of the town is con-
sidered to be very secure.
Besides this may be considered its great
usefulness for sanitary purposes, and will
also enable US to cultivate more fine vege-
table and flower gardens-the former being
much needed, being almost dependent on
country peddlers to supply this great want.
MIR. Birdsall has also erecting at the depot
two buildings, one which will be very at
tractive, for the superintendent office,
the other for the storage of pipe, tools, etc.
| should mention that the - Rattlern Fire
Company will occupy the first floor of the
office building. Indeed, this portion of the
town is becoming very conspicuous in that
of fine residences and stores, and bids fair
10 soon eclipse the grand old town down

Officers and Increase the Pay.
WASHINGTON, March 2d.-The bill intro
duced in the Senate yesterday by Farwell
to reorganize the Signal Service Corps pro-
vides that only such officers shall be re-
tanned as are found fully competent for
their duties. The number of officers will
be reduced from 220 to 140, and competent,
unassigned Lieutenants of the Corps will
be transferred to the line of the army. The
pay of the men is arranged SO that the
more competent and experienced Observers
will then receive higher pay. Such reduc-
tions have been made in the number of
officers and men that this Encouragement
while increasing the efficiency of the Corps,
will result in a net annual saving to the
Government of nearly $12O0 900.
