GREAT NORTHERN TIED UP.
Wheels Running on Only Two Hundred OF
Five Thousand Miles.

ST. PAUL April 1s.-The fifth day since
the American Railway union declared a
strike on the Great Northern finds the
strike extended over all the lines of the
company except n short distance from this
city, and of the 4 ,495 miles of the system
not to exceed 200 miles are in operation to-
day. This has been accomplished thus far
without any threatening of bloodshed,
and the men say there is no danger of any
trouble
They are determined, however, and will
allow no trains TO be made up or to be
moved. The last part of the system to be
affected by the strike is eastern Minnesota.
The men on this branch line are restless
and want to strike. The company officials
think il likely that they will not run today
because of trouble along the line, and in
chat way this branch is affected.
There is an unconfirmed report that the
company has made Overtures 10 the men
looking to a conference for settling the
trouble, but the officials deny such a re-
port
A Helena (Mon) special says: A tele-
gram from General Manager Case of the
Great Northern asks the men 20 send rep
resentatives to st. Paul, with full author
/ ity to settle matters under the laws of the
American Railway union. The men re-
piled that Eugene Debs and George How
ard, now in St. Paul, are authorized to act
for the union.
AT St. Cloud the excitement is growing
rapidly, as also is the American union
membership Contrary to expectation, a
train from the west was cut by the strik-
ers but under protection the brakemen
promptly recoupled the cars. and the train
went through the yards without further
disturbance.
This experience, however, made the
strikers very bitter, and they decided not
to let it occur again, so that when the
Willmar train arrived from St. Paul the
strikers made no attempt TO touch it at the
depot but after it started away a switch
was turned, and the train ran on a siding
already occupied by some box cars mar
rowly escaping a collision. The strikers
then broke the train up and scattered the
cars around the yards, the passengers be-
| ing returned to the station. The mail and
baggage cars were untouched.
The dispatchers in the Office here have
Joined the strike. It is reported that the
engineers, fremen and conductors will
also 90 out. Another report says govern
ment protection will be placed on tho
night train. There is some little talk OF
the possibility Of bloodshed.

where the COghlan company was produc-
ng Oscar Wilde's play, "A Woman Of No
Importance" AS he walked down the CEN
Ter aisle during the first act he was recog-

an instant the demonstration spread in all
directions, and before he had reached his
seat the whole house was wildly joining in
lhe ovation. twas a most unusual occur
renee in Washington theater Mr.. Reed
bowed his acknowledgements.

knew how to defend it when necessary,
We have as much right to our American

WITH the close Of the present theatri-

Of the Grand Opera house in Boston, the

THE determination Of the Republicans
in the House to consider any rule the
Democrats brought ia as a victory for ex
Speaker Reed is amusing Their anxiety
to vindicate Mr.. Reed for the insolent
and arbitrary manner Of counting
quorum without authority from the
House and by rule arranged to suit
himself, and to pass the Mckinley bill,
hos outrun their discretion. They seemed
so tired of aiding the fillbustering Of their
leader that they were willing to consider
Mr.. Reed vindicated on the slightest in
dication OF a change in the rules by which
members could be forced TO do their duty.
Bat back Of all this is the
candidacy of ex-SpeaSer Reed.
He is ambitious to have the Presidential
nomination Of his party and he thinks,
and his adherents think, the absolute
prerequisite is vindicatlon of his rules
by the Democrats Now the slightest
investigation will show that the rule
brought in Is not a vindlcation, but a
condemnation OF Mr. Reeds method. The
Speaker is not allowed to count at all
the proposition TO allow him to assess
fines was rejected, because It was too
much like Reeds Czarism Tsllers are
to count as tellers have always counted
heretofore. But under this rule. in case
Of a lack Of quorum, they are to count
not only those who vote, but those who
do not vote and to make list
Of those who are absent. But since
Candidates Harrison and Nc
Kinley have had recent turns at booms
1t is wise and generous to allow Candi-
date Reed a mild boom like this. Really,
Mr. Reed is good fellow, and If we
should have the opportunity to decide
we would prefer him to the pious Mr.
Harrison or the crazy Mr.. Mckinley.
