Discussing the Union Pacific RIII.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin the house
to-day Reed, of Maine, reported a resolu-
ton providing that during the remainder
of the present session there shall be no
call Of states and territories on the first
and third Monday in each month. These
Mondays are what are known as suspen-
sion days, and the object of the resolution
Is to prevent opponents of the Union
Pacific finding measure and the Oklahoma
bill from hllibustering against the attempt
to pass these measures under suspension
of the rules and introducing voluminous
bills under the call of states and consum-
ing the day by demands for their reading
in full. Reed demanded the previous
question on the adoption of the resolu-
ton, which called for a vigorous protest
from Anderson of Kansas, who has been
one of the chief antagonists of the Union
Pacific bill. He asked that two hours de-
bate be allowed on the resolution, but
Reed declined to accede to the request on
the ground that he had been instructed by
the committee to demand the previous
question.
Randall of Pennsylvania, a member of
the committee on rules, stated there had
been a division in the committee upon
the resolution.
Anderson demanded the yeas and nays,
on ordering the previous question, when
no quorum voted, the roll disclosing ia
votes in the affirmative and % in the
negative, Randall being the only member
of the committee on rules voting with the
minority. A call of the house was then
ordered.
The call showed the presence Of III
members. eight more than a quorum, but
the margin was too narrow and the pro.
ceedings under the call were not suspend
ed. The sergeant-at-arms was dispatched
to arrest absentees, and the house drowsi-
ly waited for him to make his report. As
this was not forthcoming at 3 o'clock, the
house adjourned.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Nearly 200 Persons Frozen to
Death in Russia.
Trains Blockaded by Heavy
Snowdrifts.
Railway Disasters Reported at
Many Places.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-Severe
earthquake shocks were felt to-day in
Kastakos. Many persons were killed and
a number of buildings we're destroyed.
A terrible disaster has happened at
Sakumtschi. near Tifis in Georgia. A
train became blocked in an immense
snow drift, and before assistance could be
sent fourteen passengers persisted from in
tense cold, and twenty others were badly
frost bitten. A relief party which started
out to rescue the imperiled passengers
lost their way and died in the snow.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-Advices from Rus
Tia say that IT'S persons were frozen to
death at Skateunburg in the District OF
Poin on Dec. 81. The Caspian seas are
frozen. Disasters are reported at Baku
and other places in the Caucasus.
Heavy SHOWS in South Russian have
eugulfed several trains and stopped all
kinds of traffic.

The Public Domain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. The house
committee on public lands to-day took
action on the senate bill relating to public
lands. By this meansit is hoped to secure
legislation at this session of congress that
will greatly modify the public land policy
of the government. The house passed
during the last session a bill repeating the
pre- emption and timber culture laws and
otherwise amended the land laws, but no
action has been taken Oh this measure by
the senate. In order to facilitate the
passage of the essential features of this
general land bill the house committee to
day took up the bill passed by the senat
of the United States now subject to private
entry shall be disposed of under the home
stead laws only. After making numerous
amendments to the bill Holman was in
structed to report to the house and ask
its early consideration. 1t is the purpose
OF the committee in this way to endeavor
to throw the proposed land reform legisla
ton into the hands of a conference com
mittee and the house and senate will secure
if possible the substantial changes de-
sired to be effected in our land laws.
The bill agreed upon by the committee
to day provides that public lands chiefly
valuable for agriculture now subject to
private entry shall be disposed of under
the homestead law only and that the pre-
emption law shall be repealed. Persons
who have made pre- emption or home
stead entry OF land, but have not per-
fected title thereto, are given the right to
make another homestead entry. When.
ever a settler upon the public domain is
unable on account of the destruction of
crops, sickness, or other unavoidable cas-
ualty. to secure support from the land To-
Gated upon. the local land officers may
grant leave of absence from the claim to
settlers not exceeding one year. Home
stead settlers who have made entry to
less than one-uuarter section of land are
given the privilege of making another
entry, the aggregate quantitie under the
entries NOT to exceed l60 acres.

winter rourist Rates.

During the past spring and summer our
Southern brethren have thronged into
Colorado, and after climbing our peaks.
exploring our canyons and snowballing in
midsummer to their hearts content, re-
turned delighted with our scenic attrac.
tions, and charmed by the spirit of hearty
hospitality with which they were wei
coined. Now it should be our duty, and
a pleasant one, to return these visits.
The Fort Worth railroad has given us the
opportunity. Their advertising depart
ment has Just issued a pamphlet entitled
Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from
the Summit to the Sea-" giving reduced
excursion rates for this winter season and
a number of different routes through the
South.
Uoloradoans cannot Justly plead the
necessity of escaping from a severe winter,
but many Of them would be pleased with
the change to n semi-tropical climate
where the flowers perpetually bloom, and
a visit to places of such historic interest
as Houston, Austin, Galveston, San An.
tonic or New Orleans. Or, if they should
wish stranger or more tropical chimes,
these routes include a trip to such interest,"
ing old places as Monterey, Saltillo and
the City of Mexico. Full particulars may
be obtained by addressing Geo. Ady. gen
eral passenger and ticket agent Of the
Denver, Texas & Forth Worth railroad,

LOOKS LIKE SETTLED.
The Burlington Trouble Prac-
tically at an End.
Conference Between Officials
and Engineers.
The Details of the Meeting Not
Yet Made Public.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Tbe conference of
the engineers committee with the Bur
lington railroad officials this morning was
adjourned without result till this after
noon.
Chairman Cayener SAYS the ultimatum
of the brotherhood has been laid before
President Perkins of the Burlington road,
who is in Boston. The decision was ex.
pected by telegraph this. morning. As it
did not come the conference took a re
cess.
CHICAGO; Jan. 3.-This evening for
the first time the strike was admitted by
both parties to the controversy to be
practically settled. The conference to-
day between the officials of the road and
the committee of nine resulted in an ami
cable agreement on nearly all the points
at issue, and it is confidently expected
that a complete understanding will be
reached to morrow morning. The only
hitch in the arrangements for ending the
strike was one of the minor demands of
the committee, which the officials did not
feel justified in granting without first con-
sulting with President Perkins and the
directors of the company in Boston. They
requested time therefore to exchange tele-
grams with the Boston officials, and they
have no doubt that full authority will
be received TO accept any proposition of
the committee that is fair and reason
able.
When the committee of nine called at
the general Offices of the Burlington this
morning Vice Presidents Stone and
Perkins were waiting advices from Boston,
and asked that the conference be delayed
till 3 O'Clock in the afternoon. Chairman
Cavener readily consented to this, and at
the hour named he and his associates re-
turned and were received. Tney were in
session from 3 o'clock until twenty min
utes past 5, when they encountered an
obstacle, the point OF which the Bur-
lington people had overlooked and were
not prepared to meet without further ad-
vices from eastern headquarters. 1t was
Their decided to adjourn until 1890 to-
morrow. The faces of the committee and
of the Burlington officials were wreathed
with smiles when they parted for the nigh.
The Times will say: 1T is understood
that by the terms of the agreement old
20 engineers will be placed again upon
a square lOOJung instead OF Delng Dlack-
listed by nearly all the railroads in the
country. The Burlington itself will set
the example by giving the strikers en-
ployment in preference to others when
vacancies occur, and by burying com
pletely out of sight the Ratchet which
was dug up ten months ago. Both Vice
President Stone and Chairman Cavener
declined to give any of the details of the
meeting or the nature of the oonclu-
sions."

The CoIored Catholics.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-There was u
large attendance at the third days meet
ing of the colored Catholic convention.
Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati addressed
the delegates, urging them to continue in
their good work. The committee appoint
ed to wait upon the president reported
that he would receive the congress to-
morrow afternoon. Letters expressing
sympathy with the objects of the conve
ton were read from John Boyle O'Reilly
and the Catholic Knights of America.
Father Healy of the Order of the Holy
Ghost read an interesting paper on Cath
Ole missionary work in Africa. The
committee on resolutions reported an
address. which after considerable discus
sion was adopted, and a committee APP
pointed to present it to Cardinal Gibbons.

Ten

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "a ten round
fight between Frank Murphy OF England,
who claims feather weight championship
of the world, and Jimmy Hagan Of this
city, came off at the Stock Exchange to
night. As the men squared it was appar-
ent that Murphy was heavier and that he
was fit" while Hagan looked drawn.
For the first FIVE rounds Hagan had the
best of the fight, but the fast pace began
to tell on him, after which Murphy had
the best of the contest.
In the tenth round Hagan began to do
some telling work when time was called
and the referee awarded the fight to Muir
ply. The spectators were divided in
opinion who won the fight. Neither con-
testants were severely punished.
