TALK FOR THE FAIR.
STRONG PLEAS MADE BEFORE
 THE COMMITTEE.
The Report win Not Be Given for some Time Yet-An Amusing Incident in the senate-Republicans Refuse to Vote On a Bill.

WAsHINeToN, April 27-Strong, able and convincing pleas for a direct ap- propriat,on for the Columbian exposi- ton were made before the Durborrow committee yesterday, with good proportion of the members of the com mittee present and every one listened attentively while the envoys presented their arguments. Mir. Gage led off with an excellent presentation of the ease "The responsibility of making the fair success rests with Congress. |" he declared, and then went on to prove his declaration. He insisted that it was the duty of Congress to make an appropriation and take it's chance with Chicago in getting its money back.
 The envoys, except President Baker have left for Chicago. Mir Baker will remain here for few days and possi- bly take run down to Virginia beach for rest. The committee will abide by Mir. Cages suggestion to defer its report until the DoclSery report has been submitted, and that may be done the latter part of this or the first of next week. Director General Davis has not yet arrived. He is expected this week. His work, however, will probably be with the members in- dividually, as Mir. Durborow will leave this evening for Springfield to at tend the Illinois State convention and will not return in time to call meet ing for this week.

NO PLAN DECIDED ON.
CATTLEMEN WILL BE HELD AT
 CHEYENNE.
The Governor Uncertain as to His Courss in the Matter-Big Legal Talent En- gagged for the Prisoners = What the Affair wiII Cost.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. April 26.--The cat tlemen slept last night in the old bowl ing-alley building at Fort Russell. three miles north of town, and are guarded by soldiers from the Seven teenth Infantry. They arrived on the special train that left Douglas in the morning, and during a portion of the trip pilot engine ran half mile ahead of the train to guard against any possible mishap. But none oc- cured. Just how long they will re- main there or what will be done with them is known to but one man in the State. That man is Gov. Barber, and he positively declares that he has not the remotest idea when they will be taken from under the protection of the United States troops.
 Although they have been under ar rest ten days hs Excellency has not will be sent for trial or what they will be charged with. The Governor is a doctor, not a lawyer, and according to his statement did not consult the Att tornev-General of the State yesterday because he, the Attorney, is Sunday man. His Excellency has refused to make any statement in regard to the trouble.
 The captives have money, millions of it. behind them and already they have engaged the cream of the legal talent to fight their battles. The list of counsel retained up to date includes ex-Supreme Judge Lacey, W. R. Stoll. ex-Supreme Judge Vandeventer. and ex-Attorney-Gener Hugo Donzelman. Judge NJ. c. Brown, who it was thought might assist in the prosecution, Is more likely to appear on the other side.
 The trip from financial standpoint has been somewhat expensive one for the cattlemen. Each man has lost or will lose month or more time. The Texas contingent draw $i50 . month per man. The equipment was expensive, Winchesters and ammuni- ton costing several hundred dollars. Three good horses have been killed. Since the march from Fort Mckinney commenced it has been one continuous outlay of money. The stage com pany demanded s350 as the price for hauling two wagon-loads of bed ding. They got the money and only one wagon got through. It cost s25O to buy food, and with hay at three cents and oats at five cents pound the feed cost several hundred dollars. Then the hospital people charged S79 for attendance upon Big Jim, who was shot at T. A. ranch, and his funeral expenses ran up to $l25. The debit side of the account is not yet closed. fer legal services come high. As an offset the credit side shows two human lives those of Champion and Ray. It is an interesting account, and the end is not vet.

Then Trottman, realizing the enormity of his crime, sat down be- side the body of his niece and shot himself in the head, falling over un- conscious. He is not dead, but has not recovered consciousness and is ex- pected to die any moment. About five months ago the girl absented herself from home and her family thought the act was on account of Paradise.

Heavy Losses from High Water.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, April 26.-The river last evening reached the thirty eight foot mark on the gauge, two feet above the danger line, and is still rising, and while reports from Louis vile and Cincinnati are encouraging, it is not likely that the rise will cease for at least twenty-four hours, as Green river is reported to be pouring out an immense volume of water. The damage resulting from the present rise is ser ious to farmers in the lowlands, thou sands of acres of wheat and oats along the Ohio, Wabash and Green rivers and smaller streams in this vicinity have been flooded, and the greatest portion of the corn lands in the bottom which were ready for corn planting are inun- dated.

Republicans Refuse to Vote.


 WASHINGTON, April 27. When the House met yesterday the pending motion was that made by Mir. Reed on Saturday to table the resolution to ex- punge certain portions of Mr. Walkers speech from the Congressional Record. The vote was: Yeas, l3s; nays, 6, the Republicans refusing to vote, thus leav- ing the House without a quorum. A call of the House was ordered.
 The call disclosed 213 members pres ent, but this was not announced.
 Mr. Richardson of Tennessee then offered resolution that the sergeant at-arms should arrest the members absent without leave. Carried.
 Mir. Boutelle of Maine inquired whether it was proper to send for absent members when it was evident that a quorum was present
 The Speaker said he supposed the gentleman from Maine referred to a voting quorum. The constitution pro- vided that fifteen members, including the Speaker, could send for absent members, and there was nothing in the constitution, the chair thought, wEich would prevent that
 Mir. Boutelle thought that call of the House was not in order when there was quorum present.
 The Speaker replied that If the House was in condition to order call the ma jority of those present might order a call, not until quorum was present, but until all the members were secured. Having once ordered a call the House should not discontinue proceedings.

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Vice President being still absent from the city. president pro tenn Manderson occupied the Speakers chair yesterday Senator Coke gave notice of his inten- ton to make silver speech to-mor- morrow.
 The Chinese question was called up by unanimous consent, on the under standing that it would occupy the at tention of the Senate all day, but an amusing side episode nearly brought the discussion to summary end.
 Senator Manderson announced that the pending question was the adopted of the Senate amendment to the House bill. No one rising to speak on the motion, the presiding officer put the question in the usual way-shall the amendment be adopted? Senator Sherman voted aye, and no one vo ed no.

 Senator Butler, who is himself op- pOSeu to the hOuSe D1ll, sugReSJeu ludJ the vote of the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Shermanl was too unanimous to meet the exigencies of the case. The pre- siding officer agreed with him and offered to withdraw his decision and put the question again if desired.

THROWN OUT OF WORK.
Effects of the Reading Coal Combina-
 ton.

NEW YORK, April 26.-When the clever gentlemen of Philadelphia and New York devised and carried out the Reading deal they laid heavy hand upon all the industrial and material in- uerests of the East. The combination has been in active existence three weeks. In the great Lehigh Valley coal region it has thrown 75, 900 men out of employ ment half the time. In the cities of the lower valley it has deprived 2,00o workmen of half their employment and saved from their wages S75,0 Its re- striction of the coal product is fore runner of the coming advance of coal prices which is to increase the cost ot the manufacturing in all Eastern States, the price of manufactures for the whole country, and the cost of liv- ing for the people. The only cause for all this disturbance of business and misfortune to the people is an attempt to make an unprofitable railroad pay excessive dividends for two other rail- roads which it has no right to possess.
