DEMAND RECOGNITION.
A Strike of Trainmen on the Santa
Fe Impending.
ALL ORGANIZATIONS AFFECTED.

The Men VIII Insist That the Company
Renew Eslsting Contracts, and In Case
of Refusal All Hands VIII Probably Go
Out in a Few Days.
TOPEKA, April ia sensation of con-
siderable magnitude was created here yes
terday afternoon when it was reported
that a, general strike of all the trainmen on
the Santa Fe system was impending,
1t was discovered that a joint COMMITTEES
appointed by the five organizations OF
trainmen called upon Superintendent OF
machinery Player, and requested him to
inform them whether it was true that the
company had decided to annul as soon
as possible all contracts with the organi-
cations they represented, and make no
new ones. The committee intimated that
all the trainmen would strike at once in
order that the recognition heretofore
granted their organizations by the rail
roads be continued Mr. Player said that
the company would surely respect all con.
tracts in force with all the trainmen's or
Ranizations.
Whether the men consider this answer
satisfactory it is difficult to tell, as they
are very reticent on the subject. The train
mems organization met again last night
to receive the report of the committee
Whether the strike will be ordered will de-
pend on the report of this committee. Judg-
ing from the meagre information at hand
1t would appear that the strike will prob
ably take place within few days. The
men are determined to demand recogni-
tion.

The Attorney General Decides an Im-
portant Controversy.
CHICAGO, April 19.-The Record this
morning says that dispatches from Wash
ington announce that Attorney General
olney has ruled against the Worlds fair
on important questions recently submitted
by the exposition authorities, and in turn
submitted by Secretary Carlisle to the at
torney general for a legal opinion. The
principal point raised was that as congress
had made an absolute gift of t9,5oo,00o of
souvenir coins to the Worlds fair, it WAS
not within the province of subsequent
congress to attach condition to this abso-
lutte gift by withholding part of the ap-
preparation until security had been given
for the repayment of ii part of the appropri-
alton. Mr.. Olney holds that one congress
can qualify acts of a previous congress.
