WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 31.-A season of almost unexampled activity is upon the Re- publican members of the Senate finance sub- committee in charge of the substitute for the Mills bill. Messrs. Morrill,, Allison, Alarich, Sherman and Hiscock in almost contin uous session in the effort to make it as near satisfactory to all the interests involved as may be. This can be done only by amending it in some particulars and the subcommittee are trying to decide what amendments shall be proposed. It is necessary that desired amendments be agreed upon for the entire measure in advance that if detailed consid- eration of the sections of the bill prior to the date for a final vote upon it's passage January 21 be impossible the committee may have its changes ready to be proposed in bulk and disposed of in the same way. The members will not be able to devote any time to the observation of social duties on New Years day, not even making an official call at the White House.

WAR ON THE WESTERN UNION.
 ure of all Western Union and Baltf-
 more and Ohio Lines in she State.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Penn, Dec 31.-Sheriff
 Krumbhaar received from Harrisburg to-
 day writ of quo warranto commanding him
 to summon the Western Union and Balti-
 more and Ohio Telegraph companies before
 the Dauphin county court to answer for an
 alleged violation of the constitution and the
 laws of tho State. The writ, which is re-
 turnable on January 29, was served this af-
 panies. The paper filed by the attorney
 general, which forms the basis or the suit, eets forth that the Western Union company on October 5 1887, in violation of the consti-
 tuition of the State of Pennsylvania, pur chased the entire stock. and thereby a con trolling interest, of the Baltimore and Ohio
 Telegraph company and still holds the same, 38, 775 shares of the capital stock of the par value of S, SIS, ,000, and paid therefor $5, GOO, ,000; that the Baltimore and Ohio com- pany was a competing line in this State with the Western Union and that it's stock, line and franchises were by reason of the sale for feited to the State. For the same reason the attorney general claims decree of forfeiture and escheat of the line, property and fran- chises of the Western Union company in this State. The attorney general also claims a l forfeiture of the line, franchise and prop ! erty of the Baltimore and Ohio company of Pennsylvania because of such purchase and I consolidation.
 The recent triumph Of the Garrett inter- | est in the election of the new Baltimore and 1 Ohio president is believed by many to &C., l count for the suit, but it is stated on author l ity that the attorney general has taken the l step of his own free will and would have moved in the matter over year ago had he been in possession of positive proof.

CSatsniilg iar The Capital.

Captain Gray, who has large interests
In land at Pasco, is proposing to make
vigorous pull to secure the location Of the
state capital at that place. Pasco Is at
the junction Of the Columbia and Snake
rivers, and Is at the point on the North
en where the Yakima branch diverges
from the main line. It is in Q dry, des-
ert-like spot, but an artesian well Is being
bored there at public expense and 1t Is
hoped that water will be more plentiful
In the future. Pasco ls the second town
that has arisen to contest with Yakima
the claim Of being the best location for
the seat Of government, the first being
Ellensburgh, which has sprung up on the
west Of Yakima as Pasco is now springing
up on the east. Ellensburgh was at first
small postoffice point In the northwest
ern part Of Yakima county, while Yakima
was good sized town. TWAS sometimes
jokingly called "Robbers' Roost" by the
early inhabitants Of the surrounding val
ley, and owing to the strong winds that
nearly always blow there, It was some
times dubbed "Windy Center" It has
now become aourishing young city and
the county seat Of Kittitas county.
Captain Gray insists, however, that e.
lensbureh Is not suitable place for the
capital because Of the fact that II is 50
nearly surrounded by mountains as to be
