 "The first intimation of the new course against grievance committees came to the surface at Topeka lact week. A committee of one of the old CT railway organizations called upon John Player, superintendent of ma chinery of the Santa Fe road, as has been the custom of the committee for years past. I cannot meet you" was the remark of Mir Player. General Manager Frye is the only person who is authorized to discuss affairs with you The committee was struck al- most dumb with astonishment, but the members managed to face MT. Frye about ten minutes afterwards. Gentlemen, said Mir. Frye, in an icy tone, I am not treating with any grievance committees. would ad- wise yon to get of the company's pro- perty, with those words Mir. Frye dis appeared"

To scale Wages.

The Rocky Mountain News of last Saturday prints schedule of wages for employees adopted by the general managers of twenty-one of the leading railway systems of the country. Ac- c ,rdng to the new schedule, engineers are to be reduced to $2.75 and S2.50 per day, firemen $l.75 and S2 per day, con ductors sS3.33 Ia and S70; per month; bsakemen $45 and 550, switchmen $50 and section men to 75 cents a day.
 The figures are regarded with dis may by men who are familiar with the expense of living in mountain coun- try, and until the reports from Chic&- go are officially corroborated many many railroad men will not accept the figures as correct.
 A passenger conductor who lost his position on account of the strike was seen by News reporter Friday and expressed himself freely on the sub ject.
 q happen to know that the figures have really been decided upon by the general managers at Chicago" |" said he, "A friend of mine was in Chicago over a week ago and the private secretary of one of the general managers gave him a typewritten copy of the schC- dule which was then about to he adopted. The typewriter copy is now in Denver and it agrees with the figures given in The News. The men

Destr action of Bids.

The English Society for the protec- tiOn of birds has published book on the various birds which have become extinct in England, from which it ap- pears that the senseless slaughter of rare species is no modern habit. As long ago as 1878 Sir Thomas Browne wrote of some rare birds of his time that they ''are shot by fowlers, not for their meat, but for the handsome ness of the same." Even since that date, and probably before it, the same wholesale destruction has been going on, with the result that the 400 species Of British birds which are mentioned in some of the monumental works up- on the subject are now reduced to POO. The author of the book, in comment ing on this fact, says it is more regret table in that the handsomest species are the first doomed, and ''if the pro- cess continues we shall in no long time be left with only the dullest-plumed varieties. Perhaps the New Zealand CT, when he arrives upon our shores, will be greeted only by the sparrow" He laments that 'there is no room in these small islands for a Yellowstone park, where rare animals such as the bison may find refuge from the greed or folly of mankind,n and attributes the real difficulty to the collector, who, as species grow rare, offers higher and higher prices for specimens to put in his cabinet. A similar senseleSs deci- nation is going on in this country, and, unlers the protection we are thus late in the day trying to afford the buffalo be given to our feathered tribes, the material for volume on Lost American Birds will soon be forth coming.

No Assessment Work on Mines.

The California Miners Association of San Francisco has sent out notice to miners that no assessment work need be done this year on mining claims. A house bill to that effect was passed by the senate in Washing ton, July 9th. In order to take ad- vantage of the law the mine claimant must file before January l, 1895, mo- tice that he intends in good faith to hold and work his claim.
 It is also stated in the above notice that a bill will soon be brought up in the lower house of congress providing that in case of a contest on a mining entry the land office must presume that the lands situated in a mineral belt are mineral lands until the con- trary is proved. The bill is expected to pass and thereby remove consider able difficulty and expense in contest ing such suits.

ELoPED WITH A KURD.
An International Love-Anair that Threat
 ened veritable War.

Thomas c. Allen, Jr., and William l.. Sachtleben, the young American students who made bicycle tour around the world, describe their ex- pcrience in Persia in the July number of The Century. The following pecu- liar international complication came to their knowledge at Tabreez:
 The English government, it seemed. had become embroiled in a local love affair just at time,when Colonel Stew art was of on ''diplomatic' duty" on the Russian Transcaspian border. An exceptionally bright Armenian beauty graduate of the American mission ary schools ai this place, had been ab- ducted. it was claimed, by young Kurdish cavalier, ard carried away to his mountain home. Her father, who happened to he naturalized English subject, had applied for the assistance of his adopted country in obtaining her release. Negotiations were at once set on foot between London and Teheran, which finally led to formal demand upon the Kurds by the Shah himself Upon their repeated refusal, seven thousand Persian troops, it was said, were ordered to Soak BOulak, un- der the command of yice-consul, MT. Patton.
 The matter at length assumed such an importance as to give rise in the House of Commons. to the question, "Who is Katty Greenfieldy" This, in time was answered by that lady her. self, who declared under oath that she had become a Mohammedan, and was In love with the man with whom she had eloped More than this, it was learned that she had not drop of En- glish blood in her veins, her father be- ing an Austrian, and her mother na- tive Armenian. Whereupon the Per sian troopers, with their much dis gusted leader, beat an inglorons re- treat, leaving "Katty Greenfield" mis- tress of the situation, and of Kurd- ish heart.

NationalIze the Railroads.

In these days of trusts and consoli- dations, strikes and cut-downs be- tween labor and railroads, it may be interesting to note what has been and can be done to remedy these evils. We never hear of any strikes, cut-downs or labor troubles on the railroads of Australia, and why? Because govern ment owns and operates them in the interest of the people.
 In Australia you can ride distance of 1000 miles across the country s6.50, first class, too, while workingmen can ride six miles for two cents, F miles for four cents, 30 miles for 10 cents, etc., and railroad men receive p to 30 per cent more wages for eight hours of labor than they are paid in this coun- try for 10 hours of toll.
 In Victoria, where the above rates prevail the net income from the roads last year was sufficient to pay all the federal taxes.
 In Hungary, where the roads are state owned, you can ride six miles for one cent, and since government bought the road wages have doubled. Belgium tells the same story-fares and freight ratesHcut down one half and wages doubled.
 
 Yet the roads pay yearly revenue to the government of s4,O00,0O0.
 In Germany you can ride four miles for one cent on the government own ed roads. Yet wages are over 120 per cent higher than they were when the private corporations owned them, and during the last 10 years the net profits have increased fl per cent. Last year the roads paid the German govern ment net profit of S25, 100000.
 If our government owned the rail- roads we could go to San Francisco from Boston for BIO. . Look at the pro- fit.
 Uncle Sam paysp the railroads not quite s275 to transport loaded postal car from Boston to San Francisco. A passenger car will carry 50 passengers, which, at s10 each would be $500, or a clear profit of s225 car, and this, too, after paying 5i per cent on watered stock, which is fully 100 per cent on the cost to the roads.
 To show how our railroads have watered their stock we point to the N. Y. Central & Hudson River road, which, when the Vanderbilts obtain ed control in 1869, was capitalized at S49,0O0,00 They at once watered it up to 800, 1000, 900; more water has been added until the present capital stock is S236, ,0O0, ,009-all but s45,0O0,00O be- ing water.
 Government ownership would save the people the gigantic sum of Sl, ,000,- 100000 year and bring shorter hours and better pay to the 100000 railroad employees 1.-The Altrurian.

A great deal of discussion has been going on of late as to what does or does not constitute a "scab.n There has been an entire absence of authori- ty on the point. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at Oakland, however, appears to have settled the point and very sensihly. They agreed to work with non-union fremen, but would not work with 'scabS, and they defined the latter as a renegade union mqnyho takes the place of a striker

Whole No. 64.
The outlook for Statehood Dubious.

A special dispatch to the Globe Democrat from Washington says; Ari- zona statehood bill has encountered opposition in the Senate and it now appears as if the New Mexico bill will be the next one to go to the President. The subcommittee, acting under in- structions from the whole committee, has prepared the New Mexico bill for consideration next Tuesday. The pro- visions as they passed the house have been altered so as to give more time for the preliminaries of constitution making. The new state will not come in until the next congress, the date3 being changed to correspond with those in the Utah bill. The New Mex ico bill will be reported to the senate next week, probably, and it is the in- tention to send it to the president be- fore adjournment. MT. Cleveland has already expressed his desire to sign it He holds that statehood was virtually promised the New Mexicans when the treaty transferred that territory to United States, and that the long delay has been in violation of the treaty ob- legations.
 The objection to Arizona is based on two grounds. One is that the popula- tion does not justify statehood. Dem- ocrats have had much to say about the rashness of the republicans in admit ting territories of small population to statehood. 1t is argued by some of the democratic senators that the ad- mission of Arizona by democratic congress will nullify all of the criti- cism that has been passed on the re. publicans. The president is said to take this view of the Arizona bill. The other objection raised to Arizona is on the score of the territorial debt. Arizona has managed to accumulate debt out of proportion to her develop ed resources. The politicians want statehood, but some of the business men of Arizona do not. Mining cor porations especially, feel that if the cost of state government is added to the taxes now necessary to meet inter- est charges the burden will be exces- sive. These corporations prefer to see Arizona remain territory and let the United States pay the expense of gov- ernment while longer. It is impos- sible to tell how strong this opposi- tion to Arizonas statehood is, but 1t is showing considerable vigor.

Cure For Headaohe.

As a remedy for all forms of Head ache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best. It effects a permanent cure and the most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield to it's influence. We urge all who are afflicted to pro- cure bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial. In cases of habitual con- stipatlon Electric Bitters cures by giving the needed tone to the bowels, and few cases long resist the use of this medicine. Try it once.

STATE SHOOTING ASSOCIATION

A Convention Called to Meet at Butte to
Organize It.
Steps have been taken by the members OF
the roo and gun club at Butte to organizs
state shooting association for the double
purpose OF holding annual tournaments
and looking after legislation for the better
protection Of game A convention OF rep
resentat.vss of all gun o,ubs In the state Is
called 30 meet at Butte on Saturday. April
Z. Each club will be allowed two dels-
gates. and It is expected that the convsn-
ton will be largely attended. as the sports
men throughout the state are enthusiastic
over shooting matters this season. The
convention will be open 20 members of all
the clubs in the state who will be allowed
20 partioiI ate in all discussions. Only reg
ulsrly accredited delegates will be entitled
TO vote. Arrangements will be made for
shoot on the day following the convention
which will be open TO everybody.
IL is expected that great good will be sc-
eomplished through . state association by
united action on the part of sportsmen all
over the state. looking rather moe 90 the
enforcement of the y osent game laws than
to the passage Of new ones. TIE only new
law for the passage OF which strong effort
will be made il an soI providing for the
appointment of a state game warden who
with power 20 appoint deputies wherever he
may see a.. The present law provides
that the county commissioners in anY
county may sppoint a game warden on
Eetition of 100 property owners. The weak
point In this Law 10 that each warden has
iurisdiction only in his own county and
some OF the counties appoint war
dens and others do not; there is
alWa5s large section that 10 unRuardsd
ere game may be unlswfully slaughtered
at will. With q state game warden and q
numbsr OF deputies judic!ouslY distributed
this condition Of things would be reversed
and the protection of game would be greatly
inc eased.
The association will also arrange for an
annual state Tournaments aud establish state

ment will be held IN q different City each
