There appears to have been praiseworthy al

branches taught and to remove anxiety In re-
gard TO promotions.
The majority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee have thus far appeared to be law unto
themselves. They have certainly carried
things with high hand. Still it is hopeful
sign when they show readiness to act upon
suggestions made by the minority. When
Major Mckinley on Tuesday moved to refer

partmcnt for statement of its probable effect

asked for precisely this information. lf tho

their Republican associates and had asked their

A sweeping order affecting the striking en-

United States Judge Dundy at Omaha. IL re-
ouires tho Union Pacific Railroad to take

the Union Pacific engineers from refusing to
take it, and also from striking. combining or
confederating for the purpose Of organization
or advising strike. The hearing on the appli-
cation to Judge Gresham at Chicago in the case
of the Wabash was postponed until Monday.
The outcome of these proceedings should be
salutary. 1t will soon be seen whether there
is law enough to keep such an organization as
the Engineers Brotherhood in check. II Mr..
Arthur is more powerful than the forces OF
law and order. it is high time to know it.

Tho owners of the Union Square Theatre
have wisely decided TO rebuild In accordance
with the new law. To have undertaken con-
test in the courts with the Buildings Bureau
would have been a costly operation and would
have long postponed their work, and IN all
probability it would have been useless. The
law In relation to theatres is strict but not TOO
strict. BY promptly yielding to it the owners
OF the property have shown that Mr.. DOench
was none too stringent in his requirements.

THE HOGE INTERVIEW.

CHICAGO, March IA statement wa:

that Chairman Hoge, of the grievance
committee, had called on President Per
kins of the Burlington railroad last S4lur-
day, and informed him that the strikers
would be willing to 60 back t. work or
the old terms If the company would prom
ioe to consider the schedule of Wages
later.
The truth about the Hoge interview Is
Just this, said Chief Arthur to reporter
: II se called on the President last Satur
day 10 see if some settlement could not be
made After more or less discussion Mr..
Perkins said he was willing 70 pay the
same rate paid by other roads. This
much settled, the question arose as to
how the men should be taken Hoge
wanted them all taken back but Mr
Perkins said that could not be done, so the
conference took adjournment, aud Chair
man Huge came back and had talk with
the men. He then returned 10 Mr. Perkins
and asked If he would take back the men

that Hoge had with Stone, and shows the
cOncilIiatory manner of the latter gentle

response, the quietness which prevailed
showed that there was not much dissstis
faction with the feeling expressed A II
o'clock Chairman Carroll of the union
grievance committee said that
lhe proposition had been
received from the Burlington to take back

but not as brotherhood men. The division

this, and says the Burlington has no prop
