CHIcAGo. December 2i.-Chairman
Long Jones. of the Republican State Cen
trial Committee, gave notice tonight that
the right OF five Democratic State Sens-
tors-elect TO sit in the Legislature would
b contested. This is the latest manmuyre
10 the fight for United States Senator
from Illinois. The notices were with
held until the last moment allowed by
law. the motivefor the delay being, it IS
understood, 10 avoid stirring up the
Democrats to possible reprisals.
The State senators on whom notice ives
served are Noonan, of the First district I;
Caldwell, of the Thirty-ninth Arnold,
OF the Fifteenth Dawkins, Of the Seven
teehth, and CoDpinger, Of the Forty
first. General charges OF bribing voters
with money and promises Of Office in the
organization of the General Assembly
are the main grounds for the contests,
except as 10 Dawkins, who is alleged TO
be Ineligible because of foreign birth.
With the contest against Merritt, OF
Springfield, there ia now controversy
raised as to an even half dozen Demo
cratic seats and q pair of Republicans.
The Legislature is almost evenly divided
between the Democrats and Republi
cans on joint ballot, with three Farmers
Alliance men apparently holding the
balance of power.
The avowed candidates SO far are Gen
eral John NJ. Palmer DemocrsD and
Charles b. Farwell (Republican), who is
the present incumbent. The struggle
promises to be fully as fierce and sensa-
tional as the memorable one in which
the late General John A. Logan defeated
William Il. Morrison, now member OF
the Interst ate Commerce Commisson.

[By telegraph to the DIspatch.l
GLASGOW, December 24.-The North
British Company has entirely closed its
underground station here, andltisunder-
stood that it will remain closed till the
dispute with the strikers is settled.
Placards announcing that promotion
and advanced pay await men who are
LOYAL to the company, and setting forth
an offer to reinstate the strikers IN their
old positions are posted conspicuously.
The strikers, however, maintain a de-
FAINT attitude. They hired number OF
brass bands to-day and paraded the
streets
THE RAILWAY LOSSES ENORMOUS.
The Leith and Edinburgh local line
has been closed. Passenger traffic is
irregular on the main lines and freights
are at stand-still. Only one fourth OF
the usual amount of Chrlstmas-eye
freight business is being done, and tho
loss to the railway companies will DO
enormous.
THE STRIKERS STAND FIRM.
At various mass-meetings which the
strikers held tonight they resolved to
stand firm. They have issued a mani
festo demanding ten-hour day and 5O
per cent. extra pay for Sunday work.
NINE THOUSAND PERSONS our.
II IS estimated that 1900 persons are
now ont. Work at most of the coal-pits
in Lanarkshire has been stopped In con-
seauence OF the strike.
ARBITRATION DECLINED.
John Long, member Of Parliament for
Dundee, and other prominent men have
made fruitless efforts to bring about
settlement of the strike. The strikers
refuse 10 submit the questions In dispute
to arbitration.
The Greenock Trades Council has re-
solved 10 support the strikers. There is
almost AN entire absence of intimida'
ton, but the company's efforts to stop
the posting of pickets are futile.

an interview to-day Justin Mccarthy
declared that bis idea in coming here
was to inform Mr.. O'Brien fully in re-

Mccarthy said he believed that, in view
Of Psrnells declarations after the Kill

between the divided sections Of the
Irish party must be abandoned.
O'Brien, he said, was a patriot,
and might have left America with
the intention Of efecting reconcilia-

would cause him to find this impossible,
as no basis for settlement Of the dis

Illinois Legislative Contests

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, December "a
Notice was served last night that +. Il.
Merritt's seat in the Legislature would
be contested on the ground that he
moved 10 Nebraska and has not been
resident of Illinois for the five years re-
quired 10y law. Merritt is Democrat
and the closeness OF the Legislature
in the coming election for United
States Senator makes the contest
important. Merritt admits having en-
gagged experimentally for time in
business in Omaha, bat says he did not
remove his family and consequently re-
tanned his residence here. Contests
involving two Republican members are
also pending.

STRIKERS TO BE PROSECUTED.

What is Regarded as a Very Unwise Step
Taken by the North British Company.
[By Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
GLASGOW, December 24.-An impor-
tant meeting OF the Board OF Directors
of the North British Railway Company
has been held. After the meeting adj
lourned it was announced that the com
pany had determined to prosecute the
strikers to the fullest extent of the law.
No trouble or expense. it is added, will
be spared by the company in it's efforts
to obtain redress for what is classed az
an unwarranted interference with its
business. The North British directors
have also resolved to completely close
their railroad lines rather than yield to
the strikers demands
AN USwIsE STEP.
The strikers have been considerably
enraged by the announcement that the
railroad officials refuse 10 pay the strikers
any portion OF the wages which may
now be due them. This action, accord
ing to the railroad officials, is taken
upon legal advice, pending a decision
from the courts as 10 the validity of the
contracts between the company and Its
employees. This step is generally re-
garded as most arbitrary proceeding
upon the part of the railroad authorities,
and is also said to be probably an Illegal
one. In any case. it has greatly in
creased public sy npathy for the strikers.
1t is also thought this action on the
part OF the railroad company may excite
the strikers TO acts Of violence.
A CONFERENCE DESIRED.
The Northeastern Railroad Company's
Board Of Directors has also held a meet
ing. 1t is understood that these directors
are trying to arrange for q conference
between themselves and n committee re-
presenting the strikers in the hope that
some understanding may he arrived at
by which the strike can be terminated
so far rs the Northeastern road is con-
cerned.
STRIKERS DETERMINED.
EDINBURGH, December PA mass
meeting Of the railroad strikers Of this
neiphborhood was held here to-day.
Pickets reported that the strike continued
to extend in all directions. and 1t was re-
solved to continue the struggle until the
employees demands are granted. The
police are taking precautions to protect
railroad property.
THE MAILS INTERFERED WITH.
GLASGOW, December 24.--The postal
service continues Notwithstanding tho
strike of the railwsy-men, but in many
places the mails are only delivered at
rare intervals In many workshops and
factories work has been suspended q
week earlier than usual 1t is believed
that besides the railroad-men over 5000
workInen are indirectly affected by the
strike.
THE CALIFORNIAN COMPANY
has issued circular warmly thanking
the men who have remained loyal and
promising to reward them for their SER
vices. This company has given up the
attempt to continue transporting freight
and is devoting Its whole attention TO Sc
curing the best possible service.
