WINNIPEG, Man., March 2l.-Much
satisfaction is felt in Winnipeg at the
proposal made by Premier Macdonald to
Premier Greenway to return to Ottawa
and endeavor to make an amicable set
tlement of serious grievances existing
between the province and the Ottawa
government. st. John, a prominent Ca
madam writer. says: Il have known
Manitobans for some time, and as a rule,
do not pay much heed to their threats
or violent language, but / confess that
after much patient and careful inquiry
and analysis of defamation, think it
would be unsafe to reckon on the pres
ent storm blowing over with the difficult
ties unadjusted. There is a large ele-
ment which would welcome row. who
would prefer it to peaceful settlement,
and so much has been said ON the sub
ject of building the road that the indif-
ferent would be obliged to go with the
crowd. Moreover, many of the men in
the province whom the government
regard as their friends first and
Manitobans afterwards are not to be
trusted. Secretly they are in sympathy
with the rebelliOuS ones, privately they
encourage them, while at other times
they speak in an Indifferent spirit"
The writer goes on to say that he ven
tured to ask one gentleman from Mani
toba what the effect would be of the
the government sending force of SOL
diers up to enforce the decision of the
courts, and he replied that he did not
know whether Canada would consent to
Canadian militia being employed for
such purpose, but it mattered little,
since no force could get into the cOun-
try. He said there would not be a
bridge or mile of railway left between
Port Arthur and Winnipeg, distance
of $50 miles, for force to come by, and
he said he thought they could .'run

BALLS OF BLUE FIRE.

Occupants of the National Capitol
Electrified by a Stroke of Light
ming.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-At p. m.
during heavy thunder storm lightning
struck the senate wing Of the capitol,
but apparently did no other damage
than to frighten the occupants and de-
stroy telegraphic and telephone COM
municatiOn between the building and
the outside world. The flash was vivid
in the chamber itself, and startled every
one, but the source was known at once,
and the proceedings continued without
more than momentary interruption. In
the lobby of the press gallery it ap-
peared as if ball of fire dropped from
each chandelier to the floor. In the sub
basement an engineer was Frustrated.
A cab horse outside was knocked down.
The report was not louder than
pistol shot, but seems to have been
heard in all quarters of the wing, as if
each gas chandelier had made its own
special report. In the supreme court
room every lawyer at the bar and every
clerk at his desk sprang to his feet, but
sat down again very quickly and tried
to look as if nothing had happened.
Theorists have it that the charge struck
the plume of the goddess ON the dome,
spread over the metal roof in all direc-
tionS and sought the ground by the
thousand chandeliers, steam pipes and
electric wires in the structure. Similar
phenomena were noticeable in the house
wing of the capitol. "Balls of blue fire"
played about the corridors, and each oc-
cupant of the house or of the committee
rooms seemed to think he was the eSpe-
cial object of attack. The crash led
some members of the house to the be-
lief that the roof was tumbling in.
Electric lights in some parts of the wing
were eXtinguiShed.

THE HOUSE.
Another Day Taken Up in the Dis
cuSSiOn of Labor Bills.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-Mr. Ran
dali presented resolutions of the Phila-
delphia hoard of trade declaring that
the Mills tariff bill, if it should become
law, would prove injurious to many
important and long established indus
tries Of the country. Referred. The
house then went into committee of the
whole on the bill referring to the court
of claims for adjustment the accounts of
labOrerS, Workmen and mechanics ariS-
ing under the eight-hour law. Mr..
Rogers, of Arkansas, in opposing the
bill, said that it would involve an eX-
penditure of nearly S100,0O0O00. The
proposition was ill-considered and vi
ciOus in its tendency. Mr.. Lane, of Illi-
nois, denounced the bill as being not in
the interest of labor but in the interest
of officeseekers. Mr.. Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, supported the measure as did
MeSSrS. Compton. Dingley, Cummings,
BoOthman and Buchanan-the latter
asserting that the bill would involve an
expenditure of more than S6,000,000.
Mr.. Tarsney, of Michigan, earnestly
supported the bill and declared that to
him it was a revolving proposition that
men sent here to make laws should
themselves publish to the country that
they as representatives, violated the very
laws they told their constituents TO obey.
He stated that the committee on labor
had given careful hearing to mechanics
and labOrerS who asked that which
should never be denied in any civilized
country, the right to go into the courts
of their country and have their rights
and their duties defined and placed OH
record. Mr.. Tarsney then moved that
the committee rise, stating that his in
tention was to let the bill go over until
April 16, in order that the gentlemen
who were shooting at a bird that they
did not see and was not there. might
have an opportunity to examine the rec
ord and become better informed as to
the merits of the case than their
speeches to-day indicated them to be.
The committee then rose and the bill
went over. Bills were passed to pre-
vent the product of convict labor from
being furnished to or for the use of any
department of the government and from
being used in public buildings or other
public works, and to prevent the en-
ployment of alien labor ON public build
ings and public works and the various
departments of the government. The
house then went into committee of the
whole (Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, in the
chair) on the bill to establish a de-
partment of labor. After some discus
sion and the adoption of some amend
mentS, the committee rose and the
house adjourned.

the grand jury was discharged. Be-
fore prohibition went into effect in

Must Have Their Liquor.

Special to the Globe.
Sioux CITY, Dak., March 2l.-Sine~
the saloons were closed here and open
traffic driven to the Nebraska shore,
many are the subterfuges restored to in
transporting liquor to this side. While
the river was frozen solid foot passen-
gers went over and filled their hides
and brought back literally supplied
TASKS. Casks and larger packages we're
also brought over by wagons, carefully
covered from public gaze. Now that
the river is partly open, boats are re-
sorted tO,and as a close watch is kept on
this side an enterprising citizen struck
the novel scheme of getting up mock
funeral procession with coffin and at
tendants, instead of corpse. How
ever, the coffin contained a supply OF
liquor that was safely landed. AS the
officers are now ON to this scheme, it is
not known what the next move will be,
but the supply will come over, just the
same.

accident this morning at the Burlington

walk around the depot to get to the bag
gage room. Just as he reached the
southwest corner something struck him
fairly in the eye and knocked him down.
The cause of the mischief was an Eng

Made No Changes.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-At recent
meeting Of the senate committee on
interstate commerce it was voted by one
majority to strike from the interstate
act the words under substantially sim
liar circumstances and conditions," in
the second section of the bill, which re-
lates to discrimination between persons,
but this action was not considered very
important in itself, since there were
other qualifying terms in the section
which left its elasticity unimpaired.
To-day, however. upon the proposition
to strike these words. as well as the
short haul section, of which they form
very important part, the committee,
after long and earnest discussion, de-
termined the matter adversely, thus
leaving the law in this regard practie-
ally unchanged.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The Sioux
reservation bill passed the senate to-
day. John j. Kleiner, John FL. King
and Commissioner Mcclure are the only
Dakotians here to rejoice over Dakota's
good luck, and they improved their time
by sending congratulatory kilograms to
friends at home. The bill as sent to
the conference committee is essentially
the same as passed the house. and no
doubt will be agreed to readily. The
clause preserving cash annuities is
valuable, not only to the Indians, but to
the country contiguous, because it keeps
a gOodly sum Of money in circulation
annually. The allotment of land in
seyeralty is another feature which
has been successfully battled
for. and will hasten civiliza-
tim and political economy ideas among
the Indians, besides giving more land
to the public domain without requiring
legislative conflicts to secure the same.
Fhe clause granting school houses to
the. Indians is not only beneficial to
them, but will tend to materially aid in
securing their consent to the ratifica-
ton of the measure. The Dakota con-
tingent are happy tonight.
