the town of Wickenburg, thlrty miles be-

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2S.-The
eight ballots taken in the house of repre-
sentatiVes was a progressive victory for
Chicago; the first vote given that city 115
and the last 157.
At the third ballot Chicago gained and
New York gained 6; on the fourth vote Chi
csgo gained and New York 3: on the fifth
vote Chicago gained 6 and New York Is; on
the sixth vote Chicago gained and New
York 6; on the ssv nth vote Chicago gained
and New York fell oil 4; on the ghth
vote Chicago camel and New York fell
OF 5.
This was the decisive vote, as Chicago's
157 was majority of three over all. This
vote stood: Chicago l57, New York 10Y, st.
LOUIS Is and Washington Is
After the sixth bal OF an effort was made
70 take a recess, the apparent object of
which was to accomplish a coalition of ew
York and st. Louis votes, 10 go together
for Washington, thus defeating Chicago.
But the west voted together and beat re-
cess.
During the fiasco the Chicagoans were in
a state of feverish impotence, anxious to
reap the harvest of their present advantage,
and fearful lest some dilatory practice
might prolong the struggle and endangef
the success which was so near.
1t was during this struggle that occurred
the first important application of the new
rule taking away the right of a member,
who had been absent at a roll call, to have
his vote recorded after it was announced.
This did not o. ect the result, but probably
might have had an influence upon the num-
Der of ballots cast.

Cool But IndiScreet.

TOPEKA, KAN, February H.-The resi-
dence of B. F. Booker, on Quincy street,

of Mr.. B. as an employee of the Santa Fe
railroad. His familr, wife and children,

the thief entered into ute a lengthy con-

After the thief had eft, the hired girl
wanted to be the one to go to the police
station, but Mrs. B. insisted upon going
herself.
The police visited the place and, from
suspicion only, took the girl, named Ragan,
to the lookup.
In the morning her brother, William
hagan, late from Denver, but whose mother
lives here, was looted up and locked up.

AR.re,i ION CT Johnstown.

SAX FRAScIsoo, CAL, February g.
Luther Wagner gave some details of the
construction of the great storage dam across
Hassayampa river, which show that the dis
aster, like that at Johnstown, was, according
to him. due to carelessness and meanness
of the New York corporation that built it.
Wagner was calle1 in to report on the
dam about a year and half ago. 1t was
to have been faced with stone fourteen
feet thick at the base and four feet at the
top and e led with loose rock and made
water tight with wooden sheathing. 1t was
about half cone when Wagner inspected it
and found that the stone had been flied in
carelessly and was high in the center. max
ing the structure unstable. The junction
of sheathing and bed rock was intended to
be secured by thick layers of Portland
cement. but this work as not vel done,
because of the cost of getting cement to the
works. Thus q dangerous creyice was
formed at the base of the dam and leakage
was heavy, being Ii inches with Sc en- feet
of water in the am. The lumber used was
also full OF knotho,es.
Wagner ordered the discharge of the con-
tractors and engineers, as be regarded them
as worthless, but this as not done. The
company, however, acting upon his advice,
cut large wasteway and strengthened the
weak places Wagner warned them the
dam would be unsafe unless SONS Of the
work was gone over and reclifed, but they
would not listen to him

Strip.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2O.-The
following is the proclamation in full:
Whereas, That portion of the Indian Ter
ritory commonly known as the Cherokee
Strip, or outlet, has been for some years In
the occupancy of an association, or assocla-
tons, of white persons under certain con-
tracts said to have been made with the
Cherokee nation IN the nature of lease, or
leases, for grazing purposes, and
Whereas, An opinion has been given to
me by the attorney general concurr1ng with
the opinion given to my PREDECESSOR by the
late attorney general, that whatever the
right or title of said Cherokee nation of the
United States, to or in said lands may be,
no right exists in said Cherokee nation
under the statutes of the United States to
make such leases Or grazing contracts and
that such contracts are wholly illegal and
void: and
Whereas, The continued use of said lands
Hereunder for grazing purposes is prejudi-
cial to the public interests, now, therefore,
J. Benjamin Harrison, president of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and give
notice:
First-That no cattle or live stock shall
hereafter be brought on said land for herd
ing or grazing thereon.
Second-That all cattle and other live
stock now In said outlet must be removed
therefrom not later than on October l, 1850,

them may be, or become lawfully open to
settlement by citizens of the United States,
and that all persons connected with said
cattle companies or associations must, not
later than the time above indicated, depart
from said lands.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States TO be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington this 18th day of February, in
che year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety. and of the independ-

A SURPRISE.
One of the Great Railways Proposes That
the Government Assume Ownership
Of All interstate Railroads
and Operate Them.
1t Saws That Government Legislation Has
Greatly Depressed Railroads and sug-
seSts the Remedy Of Their Purchase
by the United States.

CHICAGO, February 22.-The annual TO
port of the directors of the Chicago d Alton
is printed. Il says that the government
legislation has greatly oppressed the rail-
ways during the past year, and then pro-
ceeds as follows: cit is said that we should
not complain un' ess prepared to suggest
remedy. We will therefore suggest the
ownership of the railroads by the national
government and the organization of corps
of railroad operators who shall remain In
the service during good behaviour, and be-
ing in no greater degree under the infiu-
ence of political parties than the army
militant.
The outlines of our suggestions may be
briefly stated as follows:
First-The national government shall &C
quire the ownership of all the railroads In
the United States which are now USED 1or
interstate traffic, such railroads to be &C
Quired by the exercise of its night OF emil

limitations and rules as to price az congress
may determine.

the annual Appropriation of sinking fund
equal in amount to per cent. of the whole
amount of such bonds issued. the annual
interest and sinking fund to BE- paid from
the net earnin s OF the railroads, and the
rates of transportation from year to year
to be reduced so as TO provide no more
money than shall be needed for such pay
ments."
Other details are then elaborated at con-
siderable length.
The report, in conclusion, sarcasticallv
Observes, that probably nothing less potent
than special interposition of providence
can SO change public sentiment as to in
duce the government to do anything which
could be construed as an admission that it
had been in the least degree wrong or un
.ust in its treatment of railroad corpora
tons during the last twenty years. The
suggestion we have made appears to avoid
the necessity for its making such an admis-
sion if the course We have indicated should
be adopted"
