citation met in annual session at Den
Yer on the 10th, some fifteen members
being present. Most Of the morning
was devoted to discussion of the best
means of making the Association an
effective element of newspaper work

a free ride on the railroads the Asso-

its influence felt in the newspaper
world. A committee was appointed to
revise the list Of members and report
the names of those who should be
dropped.

were elected, as follows: j. S. Temple,

The bill introduced in Congress by
Congressman Cofieen Of Wyoming,
granting right of way through Yellow
stone Park to the Burlington railroad
is meeting with determined opposition
among the people residing in the north
ern part of Wyoming.
Those who are leading the opposition
to Mr.. Cotfeen's bill say that the fel-
lowstone Park should be kept as a
great game preserve and pleasure re-
sort, and if one railroad is permitted
to go into the park others will de-
mand the same privilege. The opera
tion Of the railroads will have ten
dency to drive out the game and other
wise desecrate this great natural pleas
ure resort, greatly to its injury for the
purpose to which it has been dedicated
by the people.

QUESTION.
Attorneys Thurston and Corwin who
went to St. Louis to endesvor to se-
cure an order harmoni1ing the contra
dictory opinions Of Judge Dundy Of
Omaha and Judges Hallett and Riner
at Denver, met with u surprise at the
hands of Circuit Judge Caldwell. In
an informal talk with Judge Caldwell
to secure date for hearing, Mr..
Thurston gave resume of the exist
ing state of affairs, reciting what the
courts, as well as the receivers, had
done, devoting himself more especial
ly to the annulling by the receivers of
the wages schedule and their order
placing a new and reduced one in eff
feet March !, together with the order
of Judge Dundy recognizing the pro-
priety Of such action, and the action
Of Judge Hallett, in effect, contrary
to that order
After some desultory talk, Judge
Caldwell said to General Thurston
that the receivers had taken advantage
of the men behind their backs. Go
back to Omaha and revoke that order,
the judge said; then will take your
case. Prepare and advertise your
schedule, and give the men notice,
and think that sixty days might not
be unreasonable. i will go to Omaha
aud hold conference with your re-
ceivers and the representatives. of the
labor societies, and We will see if we
cannot agree upon schedule that will
be just to the employees, and will be
such as the receivers can afford to
pay
In regard to the contracts between
the two companies concerning the
Julesburg cutoff and the payment of
interest, Judge Caldwell said that he
would consult with Judge Sanborn as
to whether they had jurisdiction, and
reply later.
