AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS

The Chicago Times Composing
Room in the Hands of the
Union.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-FOr twenty-four
years the Times newspaper has been
known as a ''rat" Office, sO-called be-
cause it was not run under union au-
spices. For the greater part of that
time union printers could not obtain
employment in it under any circum-
stances. Originally it was union office,
and was operated as such with the con-
sent of Wilbur F. Storey, the founder of
the paper. There probably would never
have been change in the relations be-
tween the editor and the union had not
the former hired preSSman named
Otis, who did not belong to union.
The other pressmeu of the estab-
lishment tried to induce Otis to
join hands with them, and when
he fatty refused to do so they deserted
their places in body. Then the print
e1s took up the battle for the pressmen
and demanded the dismissal of Otis.
Editor Storey ordered the union to va
cate at once. Only nOn-union men were
employed on the Times from then until
after his death. After that the union
began to get fOOthold in the office.
Some of the men who had been en-
plOyed there for years had themselves
enrolled on the unions list, and others
came in and were given cases from time
to time. The new deal will be consum-
mated tonight, when the composing
sroom will be turned over to Topographic

Sdecial to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Grand Army
men are indignant over recent develop
ments in connection with the death and
ignOble funeral of Capt. Amos Cliff, an
old G. A. r. cOmrade. Capt. Cliff was
employed in the pension office. He had
served on Gen. McClellan's staff and was
past commander of Post 55, Mystic
River, Conn. Capt. Cliff went to PrOvi-
dence hospital, an institution in this city
managed by Catholic Sisters of Charity,
for the maintenance of which congress
appropriates S150,00O annually. After
being in the hospital awhile, and with
out giving the hospital people any in
formation about himself or friends. he
died on Dec. "a. He was buried in the
potter's field, and day before yesterday
his body was discovered on dissecting
table in the Georgetown medical col
lege. His friends in the pension Office
and Grand Army men were unaware of
his death for week or more after it oc-
CURED, and were then ineXpressibly
panied and shocked to hear that he had
been buried in the potter's field. Fur
ther investigation by fhe G. A. r., with
a view to reinterment, led to the discov-
cry that his body had been removed
from the pauper's grave, but it was
soon traced to the dissecting table, for
tunately unmutilated. Tomorrow Capt.
Cliffs remains will be decently inferred
by G. A. r. comrades, with Christian
ceremonies, in Arlington cemetery. e.
A. Il. men blame the hospital authori-
ties for not taking proper steps to find
out Capt. Cliffs friends before burying
him like pauper, and propose to go to
the bottom of the whole matter.

Edmunds and Morrill,, of Ver-
mont, Longest in the Senate.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Gen. McCook,
secretary of the senate, has prepared an
elaborate list of United States senators,
which shows at a glance who are old
senators and who are new ones. Ed
mundS, of Vermont, is the oldest SEN
ator in continuous service, having first
come to the senate Oh April 5, 1866. The
venerable Justin S. Morrill,, of Vermont,
comes next in length of servive, having
commenced his first term on March
4, 1867. Think of junior SEN
ator from Vermont who has
served over twenty years in the
senate, after having served twelve
years in the house of representatives,
and who will be seventy-eight years of
age next April. The senior senator,
Mr.. Edmunds, never served in the
house. The third senator in length of
service is Eli Salisbury, of Delaware,
who came in on March 4, 1871, and the
fourth is Matt W. Ransom, of North
Carolina, whose service began ON April
"a, 1872. OF the seventy-eight members
of the senate, less than score-only
nineteen-were in the senate ten years
ago. Only the four mentioned go fur

BUSHELS OF BILLS.
A Deluge of Measures Coming Be

A Deluge of Measures Coming Be-
fore the Fiftieth Congress.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There will be
a great deal of committee work. but
very few finishing touches in congress
this week. The house is already loaded
with bills. The bill clerks were at
work all of to-day, putting them in
order. In the house alone there have
been introduced in this session 8, ,26S
bills against IL ,526 during the entire life
of the last congress. According to the
average percentage of the work done at
different stages of congress, there
will be about $4,000 bills introduced in
the lower branch of this congress, while
the senate will swell the grand total to
the neighborhood of $4,000 or 10000. In
the house of the Forty-seventh congress,
only six years since, the total number
of bills was about 5000, and in both
houses of that congress there were
scarcely 5000 measures proposed. Now
the number promises to be doubled. In
the last house there were nearly 1000
bills referred to each of the committees
on war claims and invalid pensions.
The number for the former committee,
it is estimated, will in this house be
brought up to about 5000, while those
for the latter committee may reach
5000, Notwithstanding the impression
that there is not to be a great deal of
pension legislation. In the house to-
morrow there will be another call of the
states and territories for the introduc-
tion of bills.
THE COMMITTEE ON RULES
may submit report which will occupy
considerable time in debate. Friday

No Action for Sixty DAYS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 Secretary La
mar has sent telegram to the president
of the board of trade of Helena, Mont,
informing him that the department of
the interior will take no action for at
least sixty days in the matter of issuing
patents to the Northern Pacific railroad
for lands within that territory. This
move on the part of the secretary was
called forth by protest received by tel
egraph from the board of trade of
Helena early Saturday morning. A cir
cular for the guidance of land officers in
the West in regard to this matter is now
in course of preparation. 1t will require
that the railroads make the same proof
in regard to the character of land as is
now only exacted from homestead and
pre-emption settlers. The only ques-
ton not yet decided is whether the cir
cular shall be retroactive in its effect, so
as to require the railroads to file affida-
Wits about the character of lands already
selected. So far no patents have been
issued to the railroad for the land in
question, and the secretary says all ac-
ton will be suspended until the facts in
the case can be thoroughly ascer tanned.

serious illness that summoned Sir

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Kan, Jan. S.-Some
two months ago the husband of Mrs.
Joseph Christman, living at Enosdale,
left home, no one knowing where or
why he went. The family was left in
destitute circumstances, what little
stock they had being carried by chat
tel mortgage. Since Christman's disap-
being disturbed d nights by unearthly
noises, rappings and manifestations of
spirits. The alarm of the woman and
her children finally became so great that
the neighbOring men took turns in
watching the premises, two or more
going together and remaining on guard
over night. At first they saw nothing,
but one night clay pipe which one of
them was smoking was blown into a
thousand pieces, while a report like
pistol shot was heard simultaneously.
Two nights after the pistol shot episode
a farmer went to sit up with the widow.
1t was not yet dark when he got to the
house. While he was yet distant few
rods he saw a white form enter the
outside cellar door, the door swing
ing back to admit it and then closing
again in the same manner. The
farmer Immediately ran to the door,
and, standing on it. called to Mrs.
Christman for hammer and nails,
with which, when furnished, he nailed
the door securely and battened it with
fence boards. He then ran and aroused
the neighboring men, and the door
being unfastened they all entered the
cellar, but it was empty, although there
was no possible way of egresS except
by the door. This latest manifestation
has had the effect of making Enosdale
and the surrounding country wild with
excitement. Many firmly believe that
Christman is dead man and that it is
his spirit which makes these visits to
his former home.

Ingalls, Can't Prevent Tt.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Jan. S.-The Young
Mems Republican club of this city has
requested Senators ingalls, and Plumb
to use their influence to defeat Lamar's
confirmation. Senator ingalls,, in his
reply, Just received, says: "My rela-
tirely friendly, but there can be no
doubt that he represents everything
that is bad in the past, dangerous in the
present and menacing in the future of
the history of this country. His nomi-
nation is still pending before the com
mittee ON the judiciary, of which 1 am

posed of at an early date. l regret to
say that in my opinion there is little
doubt of his confirmation"

will be private bill day, and the pros

will be private bill day, and the pros
poets are that with the intervening
time for committee work there will be
an abundance of matter reported for
hnal consideration. The committee on
accounts is expected to report unani-
mouSly III favor of the passage of reSO-
luton to place Thomas Coakley, of
New York, on the dOorkeeper's roll, he
having been dropped on the reOrgani-
Zatlon. The principle this involves will
likely bring about sharp debate. The
resolution offered by Mr.. Holman to
inquire as to the necessity of maintain
ing the Fort Brown military reservation
III Texas, will be reported and passed; !;
and the Dingley resolution, calling for
information in regard to alleged Can
adian discrimination against American
vessels passing through the Welland
canal, may also be brought before the
house. The judiciary committee will
report some unimportant measures to
be placed upon the calendar. Mr.. Blair
says he intends to push the consider
alton of his educational bill in the senate
this week, and expects to consume
most of the time each day after the
morning hour. Mr.. Browne, of Georgia,
wants to talk on the internal revenue
system. He wants the internal tax
abolished. The committee on territories
will probably report with favorable
recommendation the bill
TO DIVIDE DAKOTA
on the east and west line, admit the
south half to statehood and name the
north half North Dakota and the south
half South Dakota. The committee on
Indian affairs will also probably report
the bill to open the Sioux Indian reser-
walton in Dakota. An effort will prob
ably be made by some senators, not
members of the Judiciary committee. to
reach an understanding in respect to
the Lamar case, should the committee
not act upon it at its meeting tomorrow
morning. This may lead to a caucus,
though none as yet has been suggested
by any senator. Many, even those who
will oppose confirmation, are becoming
tired of the necessity of receiving and
answering letters of inquiry and advice
on the subject, and wish to have the
matter out of the way so as to give
themselves and their correspondents a
period of rest. A caucus could have no
other purpose than to determine upon
time when action shall be taken, and
possibly to give opportunity for re-
hearSal of the reasons for and against
confirmation, since there is an explicit
understanding that a Republican caucus
action shall never be binding as regards
the votes of the participants upon meas
ureS which come before the senate.

The Wyoming Mines Next.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-A conference
was held Saturday night in Jersey City
between the representatives of the vari-
Gus trades involved in the Reading
strike, and it was decided that the men
should be ordered out of the Wyoming

coal region. A prominent member of
District Assembly 40 said yesterday that
the Knights had fully made up their
minds to fight this strike to the end and
would make no attempt now to secure
arbitration. Closing the Wyoming
mines, he added, would result in thou
sands of men being thrown out ofwork
from want of fuel to run factories and
mills.

COAL MONOPOLISTS
Censured for the Great Strike of
the Miners.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A meeting of
the Central Labor union was held to-
day, at which Bernard Davis presided.
The coalboatmen announced that they
were about to distribute their union
card among the coal dealers employing
none but union men,. and they asked
that all organized workmen should buy
their coal only from such dealers having
the union card displayed in their offices.
Upon motion of the mixed trades sec
tiOn resolution was adopted denounc-
ing the Reading Railroad company for
causing the great strike of the coal min
ers, by which the welfare of the entire
population had been affected in raising
the price of coal at such season as this.
The resolution also declared that the
strike was precipitated by the coal mo-
nopolists for no other purpose than rails
ing the price of coal. The Central La
Dor union also pledged its support and
sympathy to the strikers.

GEORGE w. CHILDs' VIEWS
Expressed in an Article and an
Interview.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-The Ledger,
in it's financial article tomorrow, will
say; "The anthracite coal traders are
taking advantage of the strike in the
Schuylkill district to further advance
the price at the breakers from 30 to rs
cents per ton. The local retail coal
dealers have in turn increased their
prices from $6.25 and $3.50 per ton
to $3.50, with the tendency of
prices toward still higher figures.
During the past week shippers
have been refusing to quote prices for
anthracite, except from day to day, and
then only subject to delay in delivery.
We are informed that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad has notified operators
shipping bituminOus coal from the
Clearfield region that, until further no

of Pennsylvania or New Jersey except
ing to fill existing contracts"
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-GeOrge W.
Childs, of Philadelphia. being inter-
viewed to-day. told Ledger reporter:
II believe that the labOrer is worthy of
his hire, and have no hesitation in say
ing that the advance of s per cent asked
for by the miners should be granted and
added to the price of coal. if there is no
other way for the companies to meet it.
The Reading has been paying the ad-
vance for four months past. l am told
that it would make difference of $780,
600 in miners wages. Still, am of the
opinion that the Reading and
most of the other companies
are ready to pay the higher wages
if they could feel assured that the other
companies not subjected to this increase
would not step in and undersell them in
this city. They could not compete on
such basis. L believe in organized
labor and in paying the highest price to
the wage Garner that is possible and
leave fair margin of profit to the en-
ployer. There should be good feeling
and cooperation between the two.
Nothing enters so largely into the
efficient administration of a business as
the spirit with which both sides take
hold of it,''

He declared the principles and faith of

Religion can never die out of the
hearts of men. As the eye for light,
the reason for intelligence and the
imagination for beauty, so the spiritual
nature cries out for the living God.
The individual may Danish from him
self light, intelligence, beauty, or re-
ligiOn, but the race never can. When
men have gone for years without recOg-
milton of their relation to things out of
sight, some strange joy or sorrow has
lent itself to be their teacher. and they
awake. Well has that sweetest min
strel of these latter ages sung:
There is no God, the foolish saith,
But none, There Is no sorrow,
And nature oft the cry of faith
III bitter need will borrow.
Eyes, which the preacher could not school,
by WdySlue graves are raised;
And lips say God be pitiful
Who ne'er said God be praised
Be pitiful, o God.
When religion has its way with us,
not only do we recognize it in these
deeper needs, but it comes to dominate
life. 1t enthrOnes the moral nature
and creates character. The question

''body of Christ" the ''fold of the Good
Shepherd" and, most beautiful of all,
