VERY CRITICAL.
The Situation in the indianapolis Street
Car Strike.

INDIANAPOLIS, March THE situation
in the street car strike is very critical.
All day Sunday and until lato Sunday
night counsellors and advisers persist
emily sought President Frenzel and the
street car brotherhood leaders, and tried
to gain from each some little concession
that might avert further trouble.
AT a strikers meeting Sunday night
Mayor Sullivan explained that if the
strikers defeated the city they would
then have the county to fight, and ulti-
nately the state, and they could not
hope to win. Many prominent citizens
urged the men to cease from violence
and exhaust every moral means.
On the OF or hand President Frenzel
has been il .portuned to make slight
concession and how well these go-Le-
tweens are succeeding was evidenced by
the fact that Monday morning not an at
tempt was y de to move a car.
Despite tie rain which fell necessarily,
the streets re filled with thousands of
men, many whom ceased work to wit
ness any Outbreak that might occur.
Public sent lent is against violence and
the pulpit unanimously denounced it.
The Mob Breaks Out.
The mob asserted itself at 11:30 Mon
day. Special policemen, wearing badges,
but no un sorms, were sent into the
throng, rea for emergencies, and to
disperse all unlawful assemblies.
The first one appearing, Burns by
name, was sot upon roughly and forced
by mob of striking street car men and
several thou and lookers-on back of the
court house, where he was relieved by
the author es of his badge. He was
cuffed, kicked, abused and spat upon
over four blocks.
The police judge has given an equiv
ocal decision which may have the effect
of. Withdrawing the police protection.
1t is probable that no cars will be run to-
day.
Nearly 500 extra police were sworn in
Monday morning. The police law is
like war draft and those summoned
must serve under penalty of imprison-
ment.
At the Shelby street stables, A. N.
Howell, reporter for The News whi /
has opposed The strike was driven off by
the mob but was not injured.

Why is Cotton Oh eap?

WASHINGTON, March lit has become
the custom in congress to propose an in
vestigation into every channel of trade
or society which does not show a
healthy condition, the idea being that
congress can legislate anything out of
existence from yellow fever to a surplus
of manufactures. Probably the most
unique proposition for an investigation
comes from Senator George, Of Missis-
sippi, who introduced bill, and it has
been reported from the committee on
agriculture and forestry, providing that
one or more subcommittee of the SEN
ate be authorized to investigate by
every practicable method, and report
from time to time to the senate, the
cause of the present low price of cotton
and the cause of the depressed condi-
ton of agriculture in the states raising
cotton, and also into the remedies, and
report by bill or otherwise.

NO MISTAKE MADE
In the Selection of Chicago for
the Worlds Fair Site.
Such is the Opinion of the Con-
gressional Visitors,

who Last Week visited the Great Me-
Washington Convinced That the Great
Enterprise win surpass Anything
Heretofore Attempted on the Earth.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-All those who
started on the congressional trip to Chi
cago last week have returned with the
exception of two or three western MEM
bers of the house who accepted the OPP
portunity to visit the worlds fair grounds
and then to proceed to their homes for
personal and private business
Satisfied IL III BE "a Success.
Among those who visited the metrop-
oils Of the west the opinion is univer i
that the forthcoming Columbian exposi-
ton will surpass anything of the k II
ever attempted on earth. The buildings
themselves will be an unique feature Of
the great show.
Four thousand three hundred acres Of
heavily timbered pine lands have ben
stripped of their forest growth to sur y
the lumber used in the buildings for the
fair.
The nails which have been and viii
be consumed in holding this lumber to-
gether will form the entire product OF
large nail mill for considerable peri I'd
of time. A faint idea of the enormous
number of those necessary impleme s
required to construct the great buildings
can be gained from the fact that tie
building to ye devoted to manufactures
has floor space ON the ground cover g
thirty three acres, and on this floor
twenty-five carloads of nails have al
ready been used.
Although lumber is the chief COM
ponent part of every building on the
ground, each building appears to be
built of handsome marble, and tn
wonderful effect is produced by what
seems to be an entirely new process.
All of the outside work is covered up
with material called staff, the basis
of which is a fine fiber, very tough,
resembling light colored cocoanut ti,er
or the common packing material known
as excelsior. Upon this basis the
artisans on the ground manufacture
with the aid of glue. and plaster Of
paris q substance which when dried re-
sembles in outward appearance fine
grade of white marble. This substance
is one-half inch thick and is nodded in
to all sorts of shapes Corinthian col
umns, Ionian caps, handsome pieces of
statuary and all sorts of decorative de-
vices are produced in this material, and
the buildings are entirely covered with
it, producing the magnificent appear
ance of city of marble which is to be
colored and tinted into all sorts of fanci-
full and artistic designs
No adequate idea of the enormous pro-
portions of the forthcoming exposition
could be given in newspaper article,
and this is the reason why the citizens
of Chicago conceived the idea of in
viting the entire house and senate to
witness what has been accomplished
thus far. In this idea they have made
ten strike, for the Chicago people have
convinced all the visitors that no mis-
take was made in selecting Chicago for
the site of the exposition. The trip it
self was delightful affair.

A Boy Hero.

ST. LOUIS, March Ellsworth, Kan,
has boy hero named Frank Carpenter.
Frank is fifteen years old and has little
brother named Robert, aged seven.
They went rabbit hunting when the last
blizzard swept over the state, and when
the storm was at its worst they were q
good way from home. Little Robert
began to cry on account of the cold and
Frank took off his clothing until he had
barely enough to cover himself and put
the clothes on Robert. Frank then left
Robert and started to find the road.
He found some men and then returned
with them for Robert. The hero will
lose one foot and three fingers.

CONSTITUTIONAL,
Says the U. s. Supreme Court
of the Mckinley Bill.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Lamar Dissent.

The Omission of the Tobacco Rebate
Clause from the Enrolled Bill Was
Afterward Agreed to and Contained In
the Bill When it Passed Both Houses.
Reciprocity and Sugar Bounty.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The McKin-
ley tariff act was declared to be consti-
tutional by the supreme court of the
United States in a decision rendered by
Justice Harlan Monday. The cases on
which the decision was based were those
of Marshall Field & Company, of Chi
cago, and of New York merchants who
protested against the payment of duties
on certain woolen dress goods and other
importations ON the ground that the Nc
Kinley bill was not legal and consti-
stutional enactment by reason OF the
omission from the enrolled bill of the
tobacco rebate clause, agreed to in con-
ference and contained in the bill when
it passed both houses.
The court holds this omission does not
make the bill illegal. 1t also holds that
the reciprocity and sugar bounty sec
tions of the bill are constitutional. It
was contended that the reciprocity sec
tion was unconstitutional because it del
egated Legislative powers to the executive.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice La
mar dissented from the opinion of the
court. They contended that the legisla-
tive function was delegated to the
president by the act.
Other Gases Decided.
The supreme court of the United
States has decided in the worsted
schedule case of the United States vs.
BaIlin, Joseph & Company, from the
circuit court of New York, that the law
is valid.
The decision upholds the power of the
speaker of tine house to count a quorum
under the rules of the last house. The
court also decided that the contract r.
tween the vestry of Trinity church ard
Rector Warren did not violate the spi- t
of the anti-contract labor law, and the
Judgment of the circuit court of New
York, imposing penalty of $1,000, was
reversed.
The court also affirmed the validity of
the barbed wire fence patents by the
Washburne q Moen Manufacturing
company.
The supreme court also decided
against the Chicago anarchists, Fielden
and Schwab, who sought release fre n
the Joliet prison on writs of habeas
cOrDuS.
