Railroad News.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-The meeting Of the
managers of the railroads that recently
entered into an agreement restricting the
issuance of free transportation was held
this afternoon, and the result was for
NAL dissolution of the compact The
northwestern committee of the Western
Passenger Association met today to con-
slider a protest of the Wisconsin Central
road against an order of the arbitrators to
turn over portion of its east-bound emf
grant business to the Chicago & North
western and Burlington roads. This
business is composed of Scandinavian
settlers, who. at this season of the year,
go to Europe on visit to their old
homes. AS these people have colonized
on the line of the Northern Pacific, it is
claimed the traffic belongs properly to
that road and is not competitive. The
order for its division was made under the
recent agreement of the st. Paul lines to
divide the passenger business. The pro
test of the Wisconsin Central people has
been taken under advisement.

and,
Whereas, The national farmers alli-
ance in convention assembled do most
emphatically declare against the present
system Of the government, as manifested
by the congress of the United States and

states; therefore, we declare in favor of
holding convention on February %,
1899, to fix date and place for the hold

funds be loaned to individuals upon land
security at low rate of interest. We
are unalterably in favor of the Australian
ballot laws; we demand the foreclosure
of mortgages thu the government holds
on railroads; the president and vice presi-
dent of the United States should be
elected by the popular vote instead of by
the electoral college. We favor the free
ami unlimited coinage of silver and that
the volume of currency be increased to
$50 per capita. We further demand that

traffic should be so amended as to prevent
endangering the morals of our children
aud destroying the usefulness of our

the polls. Our children should be edu-
Gated for honest labor and that agricult-
ura colleges should be established In
every state. We favor liberal pensio ons.

The Commission of Indian Affairs Make
Il Report,


Report.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. ~ THE republican
senatorial caucus committee on the
order of business met this morning and
agreed to recommend to their colleagues |
that after the apportionment bill is acted |
upon, the eight hour bill and the copy |
right bill be taken up in order This
arrangement is subject to possible dis \
turbance by the appropriations committee,
which has already given notice through
Chairman Allison of the intention to call
up the appropriation bill this week. The
caucus committee also disposed of other
pending measures of public interest in
this order: After the copyright bill, is
to follow the Indian depredations bill,
the Paddock pure food bill and the Mica,
ragua canal bill reported by the com
mittee on foreign relations. AS the sen
ate will hereafter meet at II o'clock,
instead of noon, as at present, and the
morning business will be limited to one
hour, it is thought that much progress
will be made.
The commission of Indian affairs has
prepared report to the secretary of the
interior in relation to the manner of pnr-
chasing beef on the hoof for the Indian
service. He also makes u detailed state
| ment of the efforts which have been
made from time to time to do away with
the practice of contracting for largo de-
| liveries in the fall. All those efforts have
failed, the commissioner says, owing to
insufficient appropriations made by con-
gress. The report shows that in 1884
there was paid for $4,000 pounds Of beef
for Pine Ridge Indians delivered in the
fall, $226,250. Whereas, if the lowest
bid for monthly deliveries had been ac-
cepted, cost would have been $406,250.
1t is also shown that beef for Pine Ridge
cost this year $1O9,6UO for free delivery.
If the lowest bid for monthly deliveries
had been accepted the cost would have
$199,2O0, or nearly 100 per cent. more.
The difference holds good in nearly all
cases where monthly deliveries were not
acce pted. In several cases the difference,
while considerable, was not deemed eX-
cessive and monthly deliveries We're ac-
cepted. In all cases where beef was pur.
chased for consumption of the northern
tribes there was stipulation in the con
tract that cattle must have been at leas
twelve months in succession prior to Jul,
/, 1890, north of the south line of Kansas
aad certificates of army officers detaileC
to inspect beef shows that the cattle were
fully up to the requirements of the con
tract. The statement that unaCclimate(
cattle are delivered, he says, is therefore
untrue.
J Senator Mitchell today introduced ,
bill to incorporate the Pacific cable com
pany with capital of $5.000,000, t.
operate cable between San Francisco
Hawaii Samo and Japan, the majority o
the board of directors must be citizens o
the United States. The secretary of tn

= pany an annual subsidy of 100000

THE NAVAL EXHIBIT,
A Fun Sized Battle Ship will he One of the
AttractiOns.

Attractions.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S--Lieut. Taussig to-
day made his official report on the nature
of the United States navy department at
the Worlds fair exhibit 1t will represent
a full sized modern battle ship and will
be erected on the piling on the lake
shore in jackson park. The structure
will have al. of the fittings which belong
to an actual ship, such as guns, turrets,
torpedo tubes, torpedo nets, etc, besides
corps of officers and seamen. Gun and
torpedo drills will be given daily. 1t is
proposed at the conclusion of the fair to
turn this vessel oyer to the city Of Chicago
for use as "A naval drill place for the use
of the naval reserve of the lake. The
boat will be named Illinois. No work
was done on lake front today. 1t appears
the turning of little earth and the driv-
ing uf few stakes was for the purpose
of taking formal possession and to fore
stall any possible legal proceedings by
ahutting property owners.
