IA BIG RAILROAD SCHEME.
Only Awaits the Presidents Signature
to the Utah Bill.

New York, July l2.--A Washington
dispatch to morning paper says:
The day that the presidents sigma
ture is affixed to the Utah admission
bill. will see the launching of the great
est road enterprise that has been seen
for years. A transcontinental scheme
has been inatured, and is only held back
until Utah can be dealt with as a
state. Behind the plan of developments
is the wealth and influence of the Nor
mon church. Work Is in such an ad-
vanced state that two corps Of engin-
eers are here and ready to be used for
construction purposes. The road sur
veyed, and to be built, extends from
Salt Lake City, southerly, and then
westerly to Pacific connections in the
LosNAngeles. country. If the connec-
tion cannot be had with the Santa Fe
in Southern California, then this Utah
road will be built through to the coast.
Cooperating with the Mormons in the
road and statehood scheme, is Col. ]. S.
Clarkson, who represents capital to be
invested in the road, and who will prob
ably give his attention to the financler-
ing.

Chicago, July 1.-THE strike situation,
throughout the country today was in
general one of quietness. Central points
of interest has been the meeting of la
Dor leaders with President Gompers, Of
the Federation Of Labor, at the labor
headquarters in this city. 1t is admitted
that il the action Of that body is taken
unanimously it will have a marked eff
feet ON the situation, and persons well
informed as to the predictions of per-
sons composing it, express the opinion
that the unanimous action by it, except
in the reaction of quieting the present
agitation Or turning it into other chan
nels, is unlikely. 1t is known that sew
eral suggestions are being considered
by the leaders. Among them are sthe
following:
First, that the striking Pullman em-
ployes, on high and patriotic grounds,
appeal to President Debs to declare the
strike off by reason Of the infinite dam
age which is being done to the business
Of the country.
Second, that the leaders unite in an
appeal to the public to quit patronizing
Pullman sleeping cars drawing room
and dining cars.
Third, that President Cleveland be re
quested to appoint committee to irives-
tigate the strike and the causes which
led up to it in expectation that re-
port of such a commission would justify
any action taken by the strikers and
free them from all charges of rioting
and disorder.
Fourth, immediate efforts to be made
TO secure the impeachment of Attorney
General Olney.
Fifth, that an effort will be made to
secure the passage Of a compulsory arbi-
tration law by congress.
Sixth, that complaints will be lodged
looking to the indictment Of railway
managers for conspiracy to obstruct
the movement of United States mails by
refusing to run cars except in connection
with Pullmans.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS.
The Great Northern and o. R. and N
Co. Will Join Hands.

Portland, July 10.-It is learned upon
what appears OF be reliable authority,
that the Great Northern and the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Co. have
effected traffic arrangements covering
both freight and passengers destined to
Portland and Pacific Coast points, to be
effective upon restoration of that por-
ton Of the Oregon Railway and Navi-
cation Company's road from East Port
land to Umatilla Junction which suf-
fered severely from the disastrous Col
umbia freshet Connection is to be
made at Spokane. A feature in con-
junction with the contract with the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Com
pany will be the opening Of quite a
number of new points for the Great
Northern to compete for traffic, such
as Colfax, Walla Walla, Pendleton,
Umatilla, Wallula, The Dalles, Hood
River, and a number Of minor points.
1t is understood that in very short
time the Great Northern passenger cars
will be run direct from st. Paul and
Minneapolis into the Union depot at
Portland, and freight cars are to be in
delivery with all roads entering the city.
