OKLAHOMA RAILWAY PROJECTS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The bill to
grant a right of way through the Indian
Territory TO the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railroad passed the house yes
terday. 1t went through with unanimous
consent, and very soon was reported to the
senate. The bill will doubtless pass that
Lody.
Delegate Harvey called up the bill
granting right of way to the Rock ISL
and through the Indian Territory south
east from Chickasha station, and also
for a line southwest from the same point
The bill was passed without objection. 1t
was put through the senate some days ago
by Senator Perkins, and will now be a
law as soon as signed by the president.
The Gainesville. McAlester and St. Louis
right of way bill was also passed by the
house. 1t permits the company TO con-
struct line northeast from Cook county,
Tex, through the territory into Arkan-
sas or Missouri.
There is great effort being made to
have the section in the house Cherokee
bill which repeals all rights of way
through the strip set aside, as it is claimed
that this will work an injustice to some
roads that expect to build in that country
as soon as it is opened TO set
tlement. 1t is claimed by the opposi-
tion that the roads should have built their
lines long ago.

COUNCIL.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Feb. 22.-[Special.l j
After the approval of the journal this
morning the council took up house bill
No 5S and passed 1t, with several amend
ments This is the supreme court report
publication bill.
Council bill No. IS and council bill No.
%, a substitute therefor, were referred to
the committee of the whole for joint con-
sideration.
The house substitute for council bill No.
IA was then taken up and passed. This is
one Of a series OF bills introduced by Mr..
Pitman for the repeal of certain useless
and absurd sections of the statutes.
House bill No. 81, relating to the regis
tration of warrants was again taken up,
and again was evoked the same line OF
acrid discussion that the consideration OF
this bill has never failed to call out. In
the midst of it's turbulent flow Mr.. Nc
Cartney drew attention to the fact that. as
this is legal holiday, all work done in
the way of passage of bills would be
illegal This point also drew upon the
councils ready fund OF eloquence and
argument. but after a little while the
raging tumult was stilled and the council
adjourned till 8 O'clock tomorrow morn

CAPITAL CULLINGS.

| TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 22-The populist
house this morning passed the maximum
freight rate bill. The bill is very-long,
covering 1l2 pamphlet pages. 1t provides
| for reductions of from % to 50 per cent. in
| freight rates and for the election of the
state railway commissioners.
| In the senate this morning Mr.. Denni-
! sons mortgage bill was passed. The only
| Republicans voting for it We're Messrs.
| Morgan OF Chase and Brown of Finney
county. 1t provides for the redemption Of
real estate under foreclosure within year
after sale on payment OF the judgment and
! 6 per cent. interest.
An Important caucus was held last night
! by the pOpulsts. 1t lasted until midnight.
| Attorney General Little appeared before
| the bers and made & speech on the
case before the supreme court. He said
! that he believed that Governor Lewelliug
would recognize the Douglass house if the
supreme court decided in its favor. The
question OF adjournment was discussed
aud it was decided that such action would
be inadvisable. The proposed election OF
Bailey p. WaggeueT FOR United States
senator by the Republicans was discussed
but little. A popuiist representative SAYS;
| "We do not deem it of enough Importance
20 devote any time to it,"
The friends of John Martin are making
of another senstor. His case is in the
hands of DR.. :. T. Neely and J. B. Chap
man, who say they will seek to get the
Democratic state central committee to
gether to take action. The chairman of
the committee, W. G. Jones, is at present
in Oklahoma.

A STRIKE AT CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Feb 22.-All the switchmen
employed n the yards of the Chicago and
Western Indiana Belt Line company
struck this evening at 5 O'Clock for better
wages. All trains going in and out of the
Park street depot are unable to move and
yard traffic on the Monon route, the Wa
bash, the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
the Grand Trunk and the Santa Fe roads
is stopped. Pinkerton men are now on
guard duty at the Park street depot and
adjoining yards.
The switch,nen and switch tenders pre-
sented their demand for an increase in
wages to President Thomas and Superln-
tehdent Warner of the Western Indiana,
this evening, and a long conference re-
suited. The men demanded an increase Of
% cents, which the officials were not ready
to grant. A long conference resulted in
nothing. and it was decided that the par
ties should meet and go over the ground
again
AS late as o'clock this afternoon Presi-
dent Thomas declared that there would be
no strike, and the switchmen said this,
too. Two hours later, without further
talk on either side, business WAS at staDd-
still. So little was the strike anticipated
that nothing was known OF the trouble
until suburban train on the Eastern
Illinois which left the depot at 5:05 O'Clock
was halted at Sixteenth street by an open
S"lbCn CtSudiS "SIC AFCu " C4AC i44~Cl
to come ahead, but as he could plainly see
the open switch he declined. and the pass
engers were compelled to alight and walk.
The number Of men out is not over 800,
but there are strong probabilities that the
strike may spread to other roads. The
employees of the Western Indiana are
formed into System" federation, and
the cause of one branch of the employees is
also made the cause of all.
At O'Clock the police in the yards were
reinforced by a detachment of Pinkerton
men aud force of detectives in the en-
ploy of the road. The detectives and
watchmeu began work on the switches,
and ali trains which should have gone out
early in the evening were made up. The
last of them was sent ont by midnight.
OTTU3iWA, Ia, Feb. 22.-The engineers
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
have sent committee to Chicago TO de-
msnd of the general officers of that system
that they be paid extra on the same basis
as the trainmen. The engineers say that
strike will follow refusal TO grant their
demands.

THE SANTA FE SWITcHMEN.

CHICAGO, Feb 22.-The Herald says:
! ''All doubts as to the intention Of the
switchmen throughout the country to
make demand for an increase of wages
were settled yesterday by the Switchmen's
NJ utual Aid association at Topeka, which
made demand on the general manager of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
| way for an increase of 25 per cent in their
wages all over the line, from Chicago TO
Los Angeles, and the making of certain
| miuor changes in the rules and regula-
tions. The demand was accompanied with
a threat of striking il it were not complied
with and as it has been refused, the
swltchmen may go out today unless wiser
counsels prevail. A few days ago Grand
Master Wilson sent out circular author
iZing the switchmen on all roads TO make
a emand for an increase Of 25 per cent.
and change in the rules and regulations
on or soon after March I. Yesterday he
| received the intelligence from Topeka that
a demand had been made and refuse d. He
started Immediately for that place. 1t Is
said by the officials of the association that
he will if posi- ble prevent a strike, but it
is possible that he may not be able TO pre-
vent it, and IN that case it might precipi
tate the demand for an increase all over the
country"
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 22-Up to o'clock
Chairman Wilson OF the switchmen'S IN
ion, who is expected in Topeka today. had
not arrived. j. c. Eversole, chairman of
the grievance committee, told areporter to-
day that the reports sent out in the dis
patches to various papers are almost
wholly devoid of truth. The statement
wired from Chicago today and credited to
the Herald, Mr.. Eversole says is false in
practically every detail, except that there
is request pending for an advance.
Nothing has been said about Il strike,
and Grand Master Wilson has sent out no
circular authorizing a demand for an in
crease OF 25 per cent" said Mr.. Eversole.
eve represent only the Santa Fe proper,
and the advance we have asked for amounts
to about % cents a man per Gay. This de-
mand has been refused ana Mr.. Wilson is
coming to talk the matter over with the
men here to see what is best to be done.
No strike has been threatened and the
men are at work today rs usual"
There was no change in the strike situa-
tioD at midnight. Mr.. Wilson had not ar
rived at this hour and probably nothing
definite Will he done until he gets here
The Santa Ee officials say that if there is
a strike they will fight it to the end, as
they cannot afford to pay the men any
more.

showing the grounds on which the

the chamber in regard to those of its
members who have been relieved OF

The newspapers generally express
discomfort with the action of the cham
Der on the ground that although all the
charges are substantially the same, and
apparently based on substantially iden-
tical evidence, yet no reasons are given
for the difference in the decisions ar
rived at in regard to the persons ac-
cused.
Inc opposition press protests strongly
against the acquittal of Nj. Rouvier and
suggests that it is due to state reasons.
and that the authorities were afraid to
put him on trial for fear he would re.

government in the public estimation.
NJ. Andrieux, in an interview publish.

he will endeavor to bring the matter te
