Democrats Demur Because the Nor

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Representative
committee on territories, filed report pre-.
sentng their objet tions to the passage of the
bill for the admission of Idaho now pending
in the house. In part the report says: "The
precise point of difference between the ma
iority and the minority is this: The majority
approve provision which deprives a citiz en-
of the right of suffrage, disuualifies him
from serving on juries, for criminal
conduct imputed to him when he has not
been convicted of such criminal conduct,
while the minority insists that no citizen,
being otherwise qualified, should be deprived
of these rights and privileges on account of
alleged crime unless he has been convicted
of such crime by some court of competent
jurisdiction, and where the penalty for such
crime or any part thereof is such disqualifi-
cation, the minority while reprehending as
much as any majority can reprehend the
aiding and abetting Of such Of
fenses, most respectfully submits
to the house that man who is accused OF
bigamy, of aiding bigamy or of belonging to
an association that encourages these offenses
is as much entitled to trial for that oifense
as is man who is charged with any other
offense.
We insist therefore that when Idaho is ad-
mitted it shall not be with u provision in the
constitution which deprives citizens of the
right of suffrage, of the right to serve on
crime of which the party has not been con-

any other subject, but that as regards the

AN oDloUs ORDNANCE.
Chicagoans AgitatIng for a Repeal OF

the Ten Mile schedule.
CHICAGO, March IL. i Special Telegram TO
THE BEE. The opposition 10 the unpopular
measure adopted by the city council regu-
lating the rate of trains TO ten miles an
hour within the city limits has already taken
the form of a continued effort for relief.
AS stated yesterday the business men,
after fully canvassing the subject among
themselves and having reached the conclu.
sion that the railroads themselves are re-
sponsible for the ordinance are about to take
steps in retaliation.
Their first move will be on the council, as
that body is to the public the responsible
one.
Accordingly a score or more of wealthy
men held an Informal meeting and deter
mined TO call mass meeting of suhurba n
residents tomorrow afternoon, The first
business that will come before the meeting
Will be the consideration of "a petition TO the
council demanding the immediate repeal of
the ten mile an hour ordinance after
addresses have been made by the suburban
people as to the damage to their business by
reason of the slow trains.
This action will probably be supplemented
by similar meetings in the various towns
and also by the business men of Chicago
Should the council delay action on the petit
ton TO repeal the ordinance the matter will
be made an Issue in the aldermanIc campaign
about to open.
The railway managers feel the effects OF
the adverse criticism and the loss of patron
age in tue three days that the time of trains
has been reduced and tney are already con-
sldering methods by which they can effect
an amendment OF the ordinance

In the morning the house passed u bill
granting righu-ofway through the Sissatlon

to the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road company.
A bill was passed extending the time Of

Omaha tribe of Indiaus in Nebraska.
Mr. Cannon, from the committee rules,
reported resolution setting aside today and
tomorrow for consideration of the Oklahoma
bill, the final vote TO be taken aJ o'clock to-
morrow The resolution was adopted and
accordingly the house went into committee
of the whole on the Oklahoma bill.
Mr.. Morse offered an amendment prohibit.
ing the introduction of Intoxicating liquors
into the territory of Oklahoma until other
wise provided by law. Lost.
MIR. Kelly offered an amendment providing
that the general statutes of Kansas (instead
of those of Nebrasku) shall extend over the
territory until after the first session OF the
legislative assembly.
Mr. Pckard of South Dakota strongly adj
vocated the amendment, principally on the
ground That it would extend TO the new ter
ritory the prohibitory laws of Kansas.
Mr. Fitch SAID this was an attempt on the
part of the advocates of prohl lbition to win in
the house what they had lost in committee.
Mr., Laws OF Nebraska, where there was
high license mad been selected as
a compromise Now the gentlemen whose
hobby was prohibition attempted to extend
over Oklahoma the Kansas law which state
after state has voted they would not Cccept.
The question was whether the house would
override the unanimous committee in order
to please gentlemen who were advocates Of
prohibition.
Mr. Cutcheon protested against thrusting
upon the Indians in Oklahoma the unspeak-
able, the indescribable curse of whlskey
shops.
MIR. Funston declared that in Kansas there
was not one open saloon. He hoped the time
would soon come when the republican party
would champion the cause of prohibition as
II had championed the cause OF liberty.
Mr. Stewart offered an amendment. as q
substitute for Kelly's mo ION, providing that
section 2l39 Of the revised statutes shall be
in force in ths territory until after the ad-
iournment OF the first session of the leglsla-
tive assembly. Agreed to.
On motion of MIR. Holman an amendment
was adopted providing that none of the lands
embraced in the territory shall lnure to the
use or benefit of railroad corporations except
the right-of-way heretofore granted

The detectives had none and the magistrate
remanded her to the same custody she had
been in since her arrest Burchell was
then brought up He looked unconcerned
and smiled at the crowd, which stared at
him. Several Witnesses were sworn and
most OF the evidence was merely a resume
of that taken AT the coroner's inquest. New
evidence was introduced when George
Phemister. telegraph manager at Niagara
Falls, produced three kilograms, one of
which was sent from Niagara Falls Febru-

The session today was devoted TO the hear
ing of the board of trade men, who wished
particularly to voice their grievance against

timony to the effect that grain could
be shipped from Nebraska via Minneapolis

Canadian Pacific and then sold for one and

cost to Chicago. They declared that Mime

THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.

THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.
From the Kansas City Star.
It has by this time become gener-
ally known throughout this country
that a severe fight occurred on the II
of June, 1775, between the British and
American troops, the action taking
place on the slopes and crest of
Breeds Hill near Boston, but which
action has become historical under
the name of the Battle of Bunker
Hill, so called because it was the or
iginal intention of the Americans
to afford the British fight on Bunk
er Hill, named for George Bunker,
a substantial citizen of Charles town
Mass. The battle has been named
for the place where it should have oc-
Cured.
Yesterday we visited Bunker Hill
monument, following the example of
many other Kansans, for during the
late meeting of the Grand Army in
Boston $4,000 persons climbed the
295 steps from the bottom to the top
of that monument. The monument
has been ridiculed, compared to a
factory chimney and various insight
ly objects; but it is really a noble
work, and just the sort of solid hard
square monument as should mark
the spot of such stand-up-and-take-
yourmedieine fighting as they had
on the 18th of June, 1775. Still, #
the monument itself does not satisfy
the artistic taste, the statute of Pres
colt which stands near ITS base, should.
1t is a statute that tells story. You
know without being told that it is a
soldier looking toward the enemy
and bidding his men await the mo-
ment of destruction
The small field of battle occupied
by the Americans is indicated by
stones. It Is easy to reconstruct "a
the mind the redoubt, and the flank
line of rail fence, filed with hay,
where Colonel, great-uncie to Gen
eral Natheniel Lyon, commanded,
and which portion of the line was
never carried by the British assault.
Save the crest OF the hill, the gen
eral battle field IS changed The
slope, up which the British charged
