They Should Not Bs Oysrssed.
ST.. PAUL, July lion Thursday the
receivers OF the Union Pa,ihc railroad
will be asked to appear befoie the court
pursuant to an order to show cause why
large number Of the branch lines of
the Union Pacific road should be no
longer considered or conducted as a part
of the Union Pacific system, and not be
hereafter regarded as indie pendent lines.
The reason for this action is that these
branch lines are net earning sufficient
money to pay operating expenses and
taxes. They are constant drain upon
the income of the Union Pacific read,
which has been obliged to advances
money to maintain them, and the re-.
ceivers ask that their action at previous
times in making theae advances be an.
proved by the court. The names OF the
branch lines indicated in the petition
are az follows: Cartoon Cutoff railway.

feet the ordinance requiring the Rock
Island trains to stop at the principal
street OF the city and flag the crossing.
He wishes the governor to call for the

assist it in enforcing its laws for the ben
eft and protection of its cit zens. No
answer has been received from the gov
ernor.
The mayor of Enid has wired the gov.
ernor and United States authorities that
the local authorities are unable to keep
down instruction or to apprehend the
men who have been destroying railroad
property, and aeke for an increase OF the
number OF United States troops now

BRITISH LORDS,

Salisbury Moves Second Reading OF tho
Alien Bill.
LONDON, April 17.-Lord Salisbury, in
the house OF lords, moved the second
reading Of the alien bill. Lord Rosebery
thereupon declared the question was
less urgent than when the noble mar
quis WAS in Office, when no legislation
was thought necessary. Alien immi-
grafton had greatly decreased. He had
the authority OF the police officials to
say that no outrage against foreign
governments had been Matched in Great
Britain. The present laws provided a
sufficient remedy against persons medi-
tating crimes. He aaid the government
could accept no part OF the bill.
Lord Salisbury generally defended the
position he had taken up and said in
regard to crimes Matched in England
that it was the fault of the law and not
OF the police that England WAS a most
unwilling harborer Of such criminals.
He did not expect the bill wcnld pass
at the present session, but the RESPONSE.
bility lay with the govern ment.
The measure then passed its second
reading by vote Of 50 to 81.
