ARTHUR MAY BE OPPOSED.
Indications of an Uprising Against the
 Chief of the Engineers

NASHVILLE, Oct. 2-There are indica. tions all over the country, especially in the middle states and along the main and branch lines of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, that a general uprising against P. NJ. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is about to take place. The bitterest feeling is being aroused against him, and after 13 years in the eN- ecutive chair his head may be chopped of at the annual meeting next winter. So far as the Louisville and Nashville railroad employees are concerned, some boldly claim that Arthur and the chief of the trainmen did not give them fair deal in the recent conference with the Louisville and Nash vile management.
 They say that the chief of the trainmen declared that the vote against the cut was not taken according to the provisions of the constitution and that he would refuse to call out his men in case the officials in sisted on the cut. It is claimed that Arthur joined him in this action. It is also al leged that Arthur has not acted for the best interest of the men on several occasions

LOOKING AHEAD SIX DAYS
Prospective Action In Both Sem
 ate and House.
GOOD SALARIES FOR LITTLE WORK.

Men Paid Salaries and Empowered to Hire
 DutIes-The Supreme Court Is Only Sew
 en Years Behind With Its Docket.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-The ninth week of the present session of congress began to- day, and the result of the work so far ac- complished cannot be said to be encouraging to persons who had hoped for a speedy ad- tustment of the great financial question which caused the issue of the call for the special session. The present outlook is to- ward a continuation of the debate which has been in progress for the last five weeks in the senate. The renewed talk of com promise legislation, however, gives the i'm precision in some quarters that the end may be near.
 The list of speakers has not been com pleted for this week, and it may be as- stunned that when it is the names of few re- peal senators will appear upon it, and the debate will be left almost altogether to the silver men. Three of these-Teller, George and Morgan-are entitled to the floor at any time to conclude speeches which they have begun but not finished. Mir. Call of Florida has signitied a desire to address the senate today, but this is the only new speech formally announced.
 The weeks business in the house will be confined, so lar as can be stated, to a con tinuance of the debate on the election bill under the order which will exhaust itself on the 10th inst.
 Absence of Partisan Feeling.
 The debate as far as it has progressed has failed to develope any of that intensity of partisan feeling freely predicted of it. In fact, it has been rather tame and unin- teresting. and on one or two days last week an early adjournment was necessitated be with the argument An improvement in this respect is anticipated this week The speakers list contains the names of some of the leaders who have asked for time Burrows, Henderson, Dolliver Fitch, Eel lows and others. The expectation is that the debate, like that on the bill of the re peal of the silver purchasing law, will in crease in interest toward the close and go out in blaze of glory, so to speak
 There are a number of measures on the calendar which committees may call up during the morning consideration hour, but it is not probable that any of them will be brought to the attention of the house. for the time for discussion is too brief to Richardson does not intend to press the printing bill until after the election debate has been concluded.
 Considerable work will be done in com mittee rooms. The committee on hanking and currency will continue its hearings on the financial measures pending before it. Representative Davis of Kansas being first on the list for Tuesday morning
