on the Pay Rolls.
sALIsBURY'S PROPOSITION
The Government Will Refuse Parneu an

The Divorced Queen of servia
Seeks Russian Protection.

LONDON, July 10.-The British noble
man of the fine old crusted port age, is
now more firmly convinced than ever
that the world, or at least that portion of
it worth living in, is fast growing unin-
habitable for the surviving few who can
be truly said to represent England.
There has been the most impertinent reve-
lations made as to the number of equity
admirals and generals drawing full pay
on the active list, and not one of them can
be consigned to retirement without in
terfering with the domestic economy of the
upper house. No one grudges a decent
subsistence to meritorious invalid officers,
but the fact is notorious that incom-
petept relatives of peers constitute the
majority of the useless lumber supported
by the tax payer and supposed to be
stalwart defenders of their number At
tacks, however, from the brutal public,
the lords can understand, but to be hurt
in the house of their friends as by the
cool proposition of Lord Salisbury to
create life peers until the maximum
number of fifty is reached, is a little too
much. 1t is easy to conceive that the
new accessories, proud of their novel
dignity, would omit no session of the
upper chamber, and would thus necessi-
tate the presence of the hereditary peers
on all occasions when obnoxious meas
ures might be introduced. AS the latter
class disdain to attend the sessions of
parliament, save in the few instances
when they know that their presence
is absolutely necessary, it is evident what
series of dinners, opera parties and
yachting trips may be interfered with
by the unwelcome intrusion of the life
peers. The national protest is that any
such nomination is in excess of the
crowns privilege. Once such whole
sole creation is authorized, the fabric of
the constitution is overthrown. The
pee-s are not wrong and no one looking
at it from their standpoint can blame
them for their attitude. Lord Sails
bury's proposal is one which they can
not ignore, but the quiet opposition of
the house of lords will be subtly felt and
the time, though approaching has not
arrived when their influence can be with
stood

New Railway Mileage.

CHICAGO, July l0.-The Railway Age
says: Contrary to the general expecta.
tion at the commencement of the year,
and inspite of the uncertainty and danger
in regard to railway investments which
the action of national and state authori-
ties have caused, the work OF adding to
the railway mileage of the country has
continued to go on NJ arapid rate, and the
aggregate of track laid during the past
six months now proves to be actually
greater than has ever been reported in
the same period, with the exception of
last year, when our record for the first
half showed 3,754 miles laid, the total
for the year reaching almost $4,000
miles Our detailed record shows that
between Jan. | and July !, of the pres
ent year, $500 miles OF main line-not
including sidings-were laid in the Unit
ed States. This mileage is divided
among 1863 lines, and indicates what is
to be characteristic of railway con
structiou this year, that it will be made
up by the building of great number of
comparatively short roads, instead of be-
ing composed to large degree of long
lines built by few companies.

HOGE AND MURPHY JAILED.
Tho Chairmen of the brotherhood and
Firemen's Grievance Committees Held
for Conspiracy--Fireman Smith
Supposed to Have squealed.

CHICAGO, July 10.-ChairmaE Hoge,
| OF the grievance committee Of the Broth
erhood of Engineers, and Chairman
Murphy, occupying the same position in
the Firemens Brotherhood, were arrest
ed at the National hotel at $3.50 this
morning by Detectives Palmer and Hoff-
man, OF the Central station. The pris-
oners were taken completely by sur
prise. They had evidently been up a
greater portion of the night in confer
ence relating to some important move.
Both men were locked up at the Armory.
Attorney Collier, of the 80" road, said
that the prisoners would be arraigned
before Justice Lyon, and continuance
taken, as the company was not yet ready
to push the case. He said further, how
ever, that the evidence in possession of the
company was conclusive. A midnight
consultation of the company led to the
arrests. Two or three detectives, Man
ager Stone, Paul Morton and Frank
Collier attorney for the company, worked
on the evidence all night, and early in
the morning they decided upon the ar
rests:
"What do these arrests mean?" was
asked Of Paul Morten.
They mean that Mr.. Hoge and Mr..
Murphy have been arrested for criminal
conspiracy in connection with the cir
cular, and think we can prove the cir
cular came from them
No more arrests will be made in this
city, but it is probable that several strik-
ers in other places will be behind bars
before long 1t is thought the company
has found among the conspirators one
who has confessed. The disappearance
of Fireman Smith, who was arrested the
other day and who has not been jailed
with the other prisoners, taken in CON
nection with the remarkable secrecy
which the brotherhood maintains in all
its affairs, seems to preclude the idea
that the company has secured its evidence
in any other manner

1t Causes Some Trouble When Placed on
Jersey Fair Poster.
NEW YORK, July f0,-The directors of
the Mount Holly, N. j., annual fair are
in a quandary. Before the next fair
there will probably be either bloodshed
or disruption. The cause of all the
trouble is the big poster which is gotten
up each year to set forth the many glories
of the Mount Holly fair. The directors
gave orders to have the head and bust of
the prettiest woman in the country put
on the top of the big bill. After several
artistic failures one of the directors
thought of Mrs. Cleveland. All chimed
in that it would be just the thing-Mrs.
Cleveland was by all odds the prettiest
woman in America. So the order was
given. Then came the tug of war. The
Republican county committee accident
ally heard of the scheme, and as majori-
ty of the fair directors were Republicans
they were at once taken to task for ad-
yertising the Democratic candidate.
The battle grew so furious that the di-
rectors telegraphed to New York coun
termanding the order.

Garland to Reside at washington.

WASHINGTON, July 10.--Attorney Gen
eral Garland has bought home in Wash
ington, with the idea OF making it his
permanent residence. The house is a
threestory brick, on Rhodes avenue, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets. The
price was SIS, 5000. Mr.. Garland's health
continues bad and he will probably go to
some of the Virginia springs for rest.
The talk about his resigning and going
back to Arkansas has no foundation. He
will remain in the cabinet until March 4.
He has often said that it was his pur-
pose then to go to Arkansas, forswear
politics, and practice law. The buying
of house in Washington gives the idea
that he has changed his mind about
where he will live when he takes up his
law practice again.
