DISCUSSED BY CABINET.
Presidents Advisers Consider the
Growing Labor Troubles.

The labor troubles in the west was the
principal topic of consideration at today's
cabinet meeting. The Attorney General.
the Postmaster General and the Secretary
of War reported the latest phases Of the
situation as indicated by the dispatches re-
ceived at their respective departments this
morning. They showed that no overt act
calling for federal intervention had oc-
Cured since the issue of the omnibus re-
straining order by Judges Woods and
Grosscup at Chicago yesterday.
1t was reported here this morning that
the federal troops at FCrt Sheridan, near
Chicago, had been or Tered TO Blue Island.
Inquiry at the War Department showed
that the report was premature. The troops
have been orde, ed to hold themselves in
readiness for immediate services, but SO
far no orders have been given for them to
leave their post Federal troops will not
be ordered ont except on specific direction
By the President, and commanding officers
have been instructed accordingly. The i'm
preston in official circles this afternoon is
that the crisis of the strike will not occur
before tomorrow or next day.

THE CoREAN SITUATION.
Conflicting Interests of China an,
Japan Explained.

Only very meager Information concern
Ing the present troubles between China and
Japan over Corea IS to be had here official
circles really lacking news Of the course of
events. 1t is said at the Chinese legation
that no Information regarding the threat
ened conflict has been received from the
home government, and a similar statement
was made at the Corean legation, where IL
was said also that China does not exercise
suzerainty over Corea. 1t is asserted I'm
other diplomatic quarters however that
while China does not actually have suzer-
ainty over the King of Corea. yet she is In
practical control, and the wishes of China
In Corean matters are respected China $
operations In Corea are said to be precisely
analogous to those of England in Egypt
Because of her peculiar position geo
graphically Japan is anxious that Corea
snould remain entirely neutral and not be
involved with the affairs of any other coun:
try, and that her sovereignty be indisputed
Japans interests in Corea are very large
which also accounts for the interest she
displays in the administration Of that coun-
trys affairs. 1t is said here to be Alto
gether probable that Russia and England
have been at work, through their diplo-
matte representatives in Japan and China.
TO bring about a peaceful solution of the
present trouble. 1t is added that while the
matter has been mentioned to the officers
OF this government. II is not likely that the
United States has been asked to interfere.

JUDGE HOLMAN's VIEW.
He Thinks the House VIII Win In
Conferences.

Conference.
Representative Holman of Indiana gives
It as his opinion that the struggle between
the Senate and the House on the tsrif
question will end in ,ictory for the
House.
1t Is an almost invariable rule" said Mr.
Holman, "tha: IL thers is an Overwhelming
sentiment in the House for a particular
line Of action II finds expression and over
cones all delays and obstacles OF oarlis-
m m,ntsry procedure. feel certain that IN
the issue between the Senate and House
the latter will carry the day"
Mr.. Holman says experience has shown
that tariff bills. after being returned from
the Senate to the House, are subject to q
good many delays.
'rhe speed which :he House will make
when 1t gets the tariff bill will depend a
the big appropriation bills" continued Mr.
Holman. If the appropriations are crowd
ed along then the House will feel II to be
Its duty to act quickly. But IL the appro-
priatfons drag in the Senate, the House
will not feel that ii is delaying adjournment,
by discussing the tariff i think, therefore,
that II the Senate acts promptly IN the ap-
preparations the House committee ON rules
will report a special rule sharply limiting
the debate on the tariff. Under the regu-
lar rules the bill would have to 20 before
the House in committee of the whole. for a
rull debate OF the Senate amendments. as
they effect material changes IN government
revenue. But the special rule will lir,it
this debate, and IL will probably re the
course adopted IL the Senate makes good
progress on the appropriation bills"

LOCAL SITUATION.
No Tickets ON California Roads Beina
Disposed of.

1t Is conceded at the Post Office Depart
ment that the strike situation Is becom-
ing more serious and complicated as the
hours are licked away. The division super
intendents at the points of greatest trouble
are keeping the wires warm with dispatches
addressed to Superintendent White Of the
railway mail service. Information came
from Division Superintendent Gray at Chi
cago that the engineers on the Northwest
ern railroad have gone out, and that the
line is blocked. Several trains have left
Chicago on time. many others late. and
several have been held at Blue Island. A
train on the Omaha line from St. Paul to
Duluth was held up and the conductor.
engineer and fireman taken Off by force.
Little change Is reported in the situation
at st. Paul. but 1t is said that the blockades
az Decatur, ILL.,, and at Cairo have been
raised. Trains were started on the South
ern Pacific yesterday afternoon from Los
Angeles to San Francisco under protection
of United States troops.
Local passenger agents at Washington
have been ordered to suspend the sale of
tickets to points on the Southern and
Northern Pacific railroads in consequence
of the disordered conditions along those
lines. Trains are moving in and out of
Washington in the usual way, and 1t Is
said that there is no apprehension that the
disturbance will extend so far as to d.
rectly interfere with the railroad service
Of this city.

MR.. SAVERS SURPRISED.
The House Had No Intention to Stop
Government Work.

The House Had No Intention to Stop
Government Work.
There has been considerable surprise
among members Of the appropriation COM
mittees Of Congress that some Of the wheels
of government should cease to revolve on
the opening of the fiscal year. Chairman
Sayers Of the House committee on appro-
priations desired to keep all the govern
mental machinery in motion b. the passage
Of resolution extending current appropria-
tions for thirty days. Notwithstanding this
resolution. the Navy Department has stop
ped work in the navy yard at Brooklyn,
Mare Island and elsewhere: work on pub
lie buildings has. in some cases. been sus-
pended. Mr.. Sayers says the resolution is
the same as that Of two years ago. which
kept the government wheels in motion. He
took the precaption this year to submit the
whole subject TO the Treasury Department,
and that department framed the resolution
on the broadest grounds. AS framed, he
thinks 1t general enough to cover govern
ment ship building, public building, ard all
other government expenditures. Mr.. Courts,
the veteran clerk of the appropriation COM
mittee, says the same resolution has, here
tofore, sufficed to continue all branches of
public work.
Representative Holman, who Is an au-
thority on appropriations. says the thirty
day extension is usually held to apply only
to salaries of government officers and other
regular government functions If it were
applied to the building of ships, post Offices
etc, and other branches of public improve
ment, outside of the regular government
service. NJ. Holm an says II would compli-
cate the accounts. 1t is for this reason,
probably. that the Navy Department and

thorlzinS them to go ahead, as usual

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
Bahkhead Fears That q
New Building Cannot BE Obtained.

NC" nLhuAnB CannOt he obtained.
Chairman Bankhead Of the House COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
is somewhat discouraged over the pros
pect for the bill to provide a new govern
ment printing Office. With the likelihood
of Congress adjourning within thirty days
and the great pressure Of business in the
House, together with the western opposi-
ton which has been raised to the bill.
Chairman Bankhead considers II quite
likely that Congress may adjourn without
making provision for a new government
printing office.
Mr.. Bankhead feels the situation very
keenly, and will make one last effort next
the committee on rules for the considera-
ton of the bill. He says, however, that
there may be difficulties in the way of
favorable action upon the bill, and think 8
that 1t Is possible that the matter may
have to go over until next session. Mr..
Bankhead says that he realizes the danger
in such condition of affairs, and APP
preciates the fact that some dreadful
calamity may occur at the rickety old
building packed with human beings but
that he has done his best.
1t is said that the fact Of the committee
having reported bill providing a site on a
public reservation will not meet all the
objections which have been raised in the
House. The impression has gone abroad
that there Is opposition to spending the
money for a rev printing office, although
the opposition has been veiled under the
disguise of objection to purchasing site.
1t is anticipated that If a bill should get
into the House the opponents of it will
throw off all pretense and dissimulation
and endeavor to beat the bill on the ground
of economy. Mr.. Bankhead, however, Will
rules at an early date and discuss it with
them.

THE SUGAR INVESTIGATION
A Brief Session of the Senate Committee
Hold Today.
Preparing the Reports, of Which
There VIII Probably BE Three
Submitted.

The Senate sugar trust investigating com
mittee held a brief meetn; today and
agreed, under certain contingencies, IN AL
jouru until next week. Senator GRAY. chair
iEan cf the committee, said that it had lat
terly been found impossible for the com-
II ;ttcc 20 transact any business while the
Senate was considering the tarin bill and
that probably nc enort would be made 10
complete and present a report until after
the bill should be out Of the Senate. IT, he
said, the bill should be disposed of today.
it was The purpose of himself and probably
of other members of the committee to be
absent from the city the remainder Of the
week. The report to be made to the Senate
Is now preparing and probably Will bc ready
for presentation rs soon as the full COM
mittee can pass upon It, Mr.. Gray said tlt
report, when made, world be brief. The
testimony is," he said, the best report,
and that has already been given to the pub
ic."
He further stated that outside Of the re-
fusal Of witnesses to answer ques tons the
testimony In his opinion, had developed nc
especially interesting or startling features.
and he intimated that the report would 10
little more than call attention 20 this fact.
Probably Three Reports.
The prospects now are that there will be
three reports, one by Senators Gray and
Lindsay, the democratic members of the
committee; another by Senators Davis and
Lodge. and the third by Senator Allen, the
populist member. Senator Allen did not 81,
with the committee today on account OF
the business in the Senate, and he :aid. In
reply to a question, that he could not say
definitely whether he could join with tbs
other Senators in a report. 1t is known
however, that he entertains opinions Lpor
the questions involved which he will doubt
less desire to have expressed In a report
and in which the other members co no,
share.
The other four members of the committee
discussed the subject matter of the pros
pective reports for an hour Today. and
while the question has not progressed sc
far that the republican. Senators have de
cided definitely to present a separate re
port. there is little room for doubt thai
they will do so.
Senator Lodge today denied in sweeping
terms the story sent out from Washington
yesterday that he had stated that he was
convinced that four members OF the senat,
had shared in the results Of sugar specula
ton. He said the inquiries OF the commit
tee on account of senatorial speculation
had been made as searching as IL had beer
possible to make them, and added that h,
knew Of no source from which to secur,
testimony other than had already beer

GENERAL MILES LEAVES
He Starts for the Railroad Seat Of
War.
How the Troops VIII Act In Securing
the Enforcement of the Inter.
state Commerce Law.

So far as the great strike is concerned
the War Department was in a state Of ex-
pectancy today, and was doing nothing but
waiting developments. Maj. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles. who commands the department of the
Missouri. including Chicago. called at the
department soon after the doors were OPEN
ed this morning. He has been absent from
his headquarters at Chicago since June %
on a visit to Concord, New Hampshire. He
had a talk with Secretary Lamont before
the latter went to the cabinet meeting and
then held long conferences with Mai Gen.
Schofield, commanding the army, and Adit
Gen. Ruggles respecting the situation. Gen
Miles did not care to say anything publicly
about his plans. but his manner was full
OF confidence when he remarked that he
believed the trouble at Chicago would blow
over In couple Of days. The general was
accompanied by his aid. Capt Maus, and,
although the management of affairs at his
headquarters during his absence has been
IN the hands of his adjutant general. Lieut..
Col. Martin, he has been in constant tele-
graphic communication with the latter.
Having finished his business at the War
Department and fully acquainted himself
with the plans of the department, Gen.
Miles, with his aid, took the Ills train
this morning on the Baltimore and Ohio
for Chicago.
The only official news received at the War
Department this morning relative to the
strike came In the shape of few dis
patches to Gen. Schofield from the far west
One stated that Col. Shafter. with a couple
panies of the seventh infantry, from Fort
rived at Los Angeles. Cal, and was guard
ing the property OF the Southern Pacific
railroad. Anothes stated that several COM
panies Of the seventh infantry from Fort
Logan, had arrived at Trinidad, Col On
their way they found the telegraph lines
cut. and they stopped and repaired them.
The commandant reported that he had mat
ters well In hand at Trinidad. on the Santa
Fe road.
So far as the program at Chicago Is con-
cerned. the War Department will follow the
policy which was successfully employed
in dealing with the train-stealing common
wealers in the west The United States
courts will take the lead with the marshals,
and the troops will act only to assist them.
The expectation Is that at the first sign of
resistance to the making up and movement
Of trains, the facts being reported to the
courts. warrants will issue for the arrest of
the ringleaders a charge of contempt.
The marshals will endeavor to serve these
warrants. and If they meet with resistance
beyond their power to overcome, the troops
at Fort Sheridan will assist in making the
arrests. Once brought before the courts, the
prisoners will probably be Immediately SEN
fenced to Jail. beyond the relief Of bail or
any process of delay, save writ Of habeas
corpus, which they are unlikely to get from
any court at this time.

This decision sends them back to iaiI un-
