the officials. Those that indicated in
the slightest degree that they knew
What they were talking about were
turned over to other officials for a more
searching examination. just how many
were engaged during the day could not
be aSeertained, but telegraphic in
qulrleS were sent 10 the district super

branches, and complete statement
was promised for the public in the

the day, Boston, Philadelphia, New

Gated by the incoming reports the

TIE ONLY TROUBLE
reported was late in the afternoon
when dispatch was read from the SUI
perintendent of the Hannibal IL st. 10
TO the effect that the strikers at Kansas
City and st. 10 were jumping on the
cars, setting the brakes and generally
doing all i'll their power to obStruct and
lntlmldate the new men. Down at the
Grand Pacific. in one of the spacious
parlOrS of which the striking employees
have established headquarters, Chiefs
Arthur and Sergeant held an all-day
council Of war. A continuous stream
OF strikers went to and fro, and there
was deluge of dispatches from the
principal points upon the system, giving
particulars the condition of affairs and
breathing words of hope and encourage

pressed that the company mad been able
to do as we'll as it had on the first day
of the trouble, and a published inter
view with General Foreman Griffith, of
the Knights of Labor, in which
he Indicated pretty strongly by
inference that the knights had nothing
in common with the brotherhood was
pretty freely commented on, but in gen.
eral conservative spirit prevailed and
the general consensus of opinion was
that the strike would be over before the
end Of the week. Late this evening
General Freight Agent Ripley dictated
a letter to the principal shippers of the
Burlington, in which he stated that it
would probably be a week or more be-
fore the company would be able to re-
ceive freight, and that in view of this
fact it would be advisable, and for the
public interest, to deliver all freight to
such other roads as in the Judgment of
the shippers could most promptly
send it to its destination. He added that
the road would also be compelled for a
few days to decline all freight for local
stations, but that as soon as it was able
it would give such freight the prefer
ence and first serve those places that
are wholly dependent on it.

ALASKA PETITION.
DisapprobatiOn Expressed of the
Bill for Territorial Govern

DiSapprODaClOn Expressed OF the
Bill for a Territorial Govern
ment.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Representa-
tive Guenther, of Wisconsin, presented
petition of the district of Alaska ex-
pressing disapprobation of the bill pro-
viding territorial form of government
for Alaska. In support of their disap-
proval the petitioners allege that
Alaska, comprising about 100000 square
miles of territory, is but sparsely set
tied, and that only on the western coast.
A great majority of the Inhabitants Of
Alaska are aborigines, who, from neces-
Sity, are industrious, yet have not re-
ceived education tending to remove
from their minds the barbarous Gus
toms of past ages, which, state of
mind should totally disqualify them
to exercise the rights of cleo
tive franchise. That the scheme
of territorial government for Alaska"
is impractical and will work great hard
ship to the people. They further repre-
sent that Alaska needs congressional
legislation since vast interests are now
growing up employing millions OF capi-
tai, contributing largely to the pros
perity and improvements OF the whole
country, and suggest that the land laws
of the United States be extended TO
Alaska; that congress grant them
proper mail facilities; that Alaska
stands in need of public buildings, such
as court houses, jails, school houses,
and respectfully submit that an appre-
priatiOn be made by congress to build.
The present code of laws governing
Alaska is anomaly and in most cases
migratory owing to its inapplicability,
and for these reasons they respectfully
ask congress to pass laws applicable to
their social and political condition. The
petition is signed by nearly 700 citizens
of Alaska, including several Judges of
the courts. Gov. Swineford says this
petition is fraudulent and not deserving
of consideration. as it is merely gotten
up to defeat legislation sought by him
for public good. The petition, however,
eXciteS considerable discussion, and MFR.
Guenther stands ready to answer for it's
authenticity and character of SignerS.
ANOTHER PETITION.
Mr.. Guenther also presented petit
tion of citizens of Ottawa and Genesee
asking congress to re-establish the old
rate of postage of l cent for each two
ounces on seeds, plants, bulbs and scions
by CHASING them as mailable matter of
the third class. They claim that it will
greatly promote dissemination of new
improved and valued varieties of plants
among our people; that it would add
much to wealth and resources of
the country and to the happiness and
health of our people.
