CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

Senator White of Louisiana Confirmed as
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The entire
time of the senate Wednesday was con-
sumed in the discussion of the house bill
compelling the Rock Island railway to
stop at the new towns Of Enid and Round
Pond, in the Indian Territory. The
measure is especially championed by
Senator Berry (Ala.) and is proving a
subject of great attention, as some Dem
ocratic senators see in the proposed exer-
else of congressional power, usurpation
of rights. No action was reached on the
bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-All efforts to
agree upon time for closing the debate
on the Bland bill have so far failed, and
debate is proceeding without limit
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Vice President
Stevenson came to the rescue of the Ok
lahoma townsite bill Thursday and bv
his vote broke the tie and the bill com
pelling the Rock Island railroad to stop
its trains at the new towns of Enid and
Round Pond was passed. This measure
has been under discussion in the senate
nearly a week and has been one of the
most hotly contested bills Of the session.
The railroad company, according to the
advocates of the bill, secured from the
control of the Indians in advance of the
two townsites, it is championing in op-
position to those of Enid and Round
Pond, regularly established by the inter
ior department. The trains of the Rock
Island have refused to stop at Enid and
Round Pond and compelled settlers to
come two or three miles down the line in
order to receive their freight or transact
any business involving railroad transpor-
tation.
As Enid and Round Pond are alleged
to each have population of 1900 in
habitants or more, the remonstrance
against the railroad company's actions
have been so strong it has found its way
in congress. The measure on the final
vote stood % to % and the vice president
promptly exercised his prerogative by
casting the deciding vote in favor of the
bill. The senate amended the measure.
however, and it must go back to the
house for the concurrence of that BODY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The debate on
the Bland seigniorage bill in the house
Thursday was characterized by several
strong Democratic speeches against the
measure. Mr.. Bland has given up hope
of reaching an agreement to close debate
by consent and he will move to
close debate. He is confident that on
astUTday @ Monday, at the fartbest, q

Woman SuRrarists.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The ladies at
tending the Woman Suffrage convention
had their photographs taken in a group
this morning. There was large amount
Of business on the program for trans
action and the convention Immediately
proceeded to business after the picture
taking. The subject of assistance to the
work of the association by the news
papers of the country came up incidentally
as a question of discussion, and in this
connection letters were read from DR..
Anthony, a newspaper man of Kansas,
offering to publish items of interest to
the cause, and letter from Governor
Waite of Colorado on the subject of
woman suffrage in that state.
Atlanta, Ga, was chosen as the place
for holding the next annual Woman
Suffrage convention.

REVOKE THAT ORDER
Union Pacific Employees Must Be
Given Public Notice Under
the Order.
THE JUDGE WILL 60 TO OMAHA.
Judge Caldwell Names Condition Under
Which He VIII Consider the Case
ThurstOn and Gown BIet With
a Surprise.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16.-Attorneys Thurs
ton and Gown, who came here to en-
deaYor to secure an order harmonizing
the contradictory opinions Of Judge Dundy
of Omaha and Judge Hallett of Denver,
have met with surprise at the hands Of
Circuit Judge Caldwell. In an informal
talk with Judge Caldwell to secure q
date for hearing, Mr.. Thurston gave a
resume of the existing state Of affairs, re-
citing what the courts, as well as the re-
ceivers, had done, devoting himself more
especially to the annulling by the recelv-
ers of the wage schedule and their order
placing new and reduced one in effect
March 1, together with the order Of Judge
Oundy recognizing the propriety of such
action and the action by Judge Hallett,
in effect, contrary to that order. General
Thurston said that the failure of Judge
Hallett to make any order on the subject
was held as a refusal to 1ndorse
the idea that the receivers have
the power to adopt new schedules, and it
was this apparent clash of Judicial opin-
ion that was creating discomfort along
the line, and making the situation almost
threatening. After some desultory talk
Judge Caldwell said to General Thurs
ton that the receivers had taken advant-
age of the men behind their backs. 600
back to Omaha and revoke that order, !"
the Judge said, "then I will take your
case. Prepare and advertise your sched-
ule and give the men notice, and think
that so days might not be unreasonable.
I will come to Omaha and hold the con-
ference with your receivers and the
representatives of the labor societies and
we will see if we cannot agree upon a
schedule that will be just to the en-
ployes, and will be such as the receivers
can afford to pay
Mr.. Thurston called the attention of
Judge Caldwell to the contradictory or
ders issued by Judges Dundy and Hallett
as to the traffic contract between the
Union Pacific and the Gulf branch of
that system. Judge Dundy had directed
the receivers to disregard that contract
and Judge Hallett said that it must be
respected. This contract obligated the
Union Pacific to ''put up" on the bonded
indebtedness of the Gulf branch to near
ly a million a year and the receivers
thought prudent business management
required that they be relieved of that
drain. AS matters now stand, the re-
ceivers stood certainty of being in con-
tempt in one jurisdiction or the other.
Judge Caldwell said that he would
consult with Judge Sanborn as to
whether they had jurisdiction and reply
later.

CANAL ACROSS MICHIGAN.
Scheme to RevolutiOnizs the TramO Of Il
Great Lakes.

Scnc4nS co keFO1uIlOn1SS the Ir84tAo or the
Great Lakes.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia stupendous canal
project which, if successful, will entirely
revolutionize the traffic of the great
lakes, is said to be in contemplation by
a number of capitalists. The proposed
canal is designed to immensely facilitate
the passage of vessels from Chicago,
Milwaukee and other northwestern
points to the east, and TO render un-
necessary the present long, route through
the Straits of Mackinaw, Lake Huron,
st. Clair river and lake, and thence
down the Detroit river TO Lake Erie.
The plan now said to be under serious
contemplation is TO construct a canal
directly across the state of Michigan
from the eastern shore of Lake Mich
igan to either Detroit or Toledo. If
these plans prove feasible it will prove
one of the most gigantic enterprises of
the century. A number of capitalists
from Chicago, New York and Boston are
said to stand ready to back the project to
the extent of $50, 0OO, 600.

Steamship Paris at Anchor on the Coast OF
Ireland With Broken Rudder.
QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 1.-THE steamship
-Adriatic of the White Star line which
left New York on Feb. for Liverpool,
passed Browhead this morning and upon
arrival here reported passing the steamer
Paris of the American line off Daunt's
Rock, south of Ireland. The steamer
was at anchor and did not seem to be in
need of assistance.
So soon as the news of the reported ac-
cident reached here, the agent of the
American line, on board tug, left this
port for the spot where the Paris was re-
ported to have anchored.
The disaster to the Paris, it is now an
nounced, was caused by the breaking of
the rudder in what is known as the
trunk. The Paris is expected here
shortly, and it is said that her passengers
will be embarked upon Cunard steam
ship and forwarded to their destination,
New York, as. soon as possible.
The steamship Paris is now safe at
anchor. here. and not one of the passen-
gers has requested to go ashore.

in keeping them from breaking down the

Sh6rim Aays
VIsALIA, CAL, Feb. 21.-Chris Evans,

capped from the Fresno jail month ago,
is again in custody. 1t was discovered

in Evans house here. Officers sur
rounded the house early Monday morn

will be spirited to Fresno, where he will
receive immediate sentence, and be

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS.
Reports From Western States Are Very
EncOuraGin%.


Encouraging.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Farmers Re
view says of winter wheat: Wheat in
Illinois is quite generally under blanket
of snow. The prospects of the crop are
reported good and the recent snow will
do much to lessen the danger of disaster.
Wheat in Missouri is in good condition
and will be improved much by the recent
heavy snow.
In Kansas the grain has been rather
dry but is now covered with snow and
the attendant moisture will help the
crop. Some of the correspondents re-
port the crop damaged considerably by
the dry weather.
The reports from Nebraska indicate
the condition somewhat less favorable
than Kansas. The crop conditions in
Iowa are various. The general con-
dition is fair.
