Representative Carter of Montana.
chairman of the mines committee, has
reported favorablY TO the house bill 10
take from tho Northern Pacific railroad
company all It's lands In Montana and
Idaho which are mineral IN character
and TO give them other lands in lieu
thereof. Congress in making land grants
has uniformly excepted mineral lands
from the grants made.
II has been charged that the Northern
Pacific has managed to secure q large
part of the best mining lands in the two
states. This question formed one of the
principal features of the election cam
paign In Montana.
The report accompanying this bill,says
that on q very conservative estimate it
may be safely assumed that over 6 900, =
900 acres OF the land grant of the North
ern Pacific in Montana and Idaho are
obviously mineral lands. Under the
rules OF the interior department sur
veyors have not been paid for land sur
veyed, and as consequence, lands no.
toriously mineral when surveyed have
been classified without reference TO their
mineral bearing character. Mines bear
ing gold, silver, copper and lead are be-
Ing discovered constantly within the
limit OF the grant, and experience has
demonstrated that the whole system of
mining ranges, extending westward q
distance OF over 600 miles, is uuderlaced
by vast network of mineral-bearin

A Big Consideration.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Aug. 21.-S. B.
Leggett, secretary OF the various rail-
roads comprising the Southwest system
of the Pennsylvania road, arrived yes
terday, and in few minutes he had
consolidated 1851 miles of road now OPP
Grating under different names into one
corporation known as the Pittsburgh,
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis rail-
way company. The new company is to
have an authorized capital of $3.50 900, =
900 in bonds and stocks, of which sum
S42 200 900 is to be set aside for the re-

The New York Contra, Strike.


1t Is evident that the strike inaugur-
ated on the New York Central railroad
is but repetition of several attempts
made by organizations to dictate the
conditions upon which the business of
such corporations shall be conducted.
There is no complaint as to the general
manner IN which the company has
treated its employees. They seem TO
have heen receiving fair pay for their
services and just consideration of all
their rights. The strike has no justif-
cation or excuse beyond the charge that
"a few trainmen were discharged because
they were Knights; and this charge is
fatty denied by the company's officers.
AS a matter of fact, Vice. President
Webb says, the discharges were made on
account of slack business, and these
particular men were turned off because
they were the least efficient in the SER
vice, regardless of their relations to any
labor organization. The proposition of
the strikers, therefore, is to compel the
company to employ more men than It
wants, and to make membership in the
Knights of Labor the test of fitness for such
employment. At given signal, without
previous warning TO the company or the
public, the operations of the road have
been practically blocked, and its useful
ness to the people is for the time forciblY
This is the situation as it
stands and the public car judge who is
right.

sufficient amount to finish the road to q
considerable distance beyond. No

however, and the situation so far as the
