The PEOPLES FIGHT.
Still the Struggle Against Over
crowded Cars Progresses.
The Public Demands Ordinary Com
forts for the Fares 1t Pays.
Several Pat Suggestions by "Even-
ing World" Readers.

During the damp, muggy weather Of
the past few days the discomforts of
travelling on the street car lines has
been greatly aggravated. Nothing is
more vexatious than to be crowded up
into a corner, squeezed and trampled
upon, unable to get breath of fresh
air. or even to move In any direction. on
one of those hot, sweltering days.
This has been the fate, however, of
hundreds of passengers in the over
crowded cars. They have paid their
fares and secured their seats, yet they
have actually been rendered more I'M
comfortable and wretched than those
who have been obliged to stand during
the entire trip.
What the public demand is that laws
should be passed prohibiting the street
railway companies from carrying more
than certain number of passengers on
their cars. The limit should be fixed
by the seating capacity of each car.
and the rule should be rigidly enforced
by the police, who could very well see
when any attempt wSs being made to
overcrowd a car.
Trailers, relays and extra cars are all
panies should be compelled to operate
them during the busy hours of the day,
at morning and evening, when the de-
mand for accommodations Is most ur-
gent. Yet the present evil will never
be remedied so long as conductors are
compelled to take on board every person
who halls the car, no matter how crowd
ed 1t may be.
on every one of the lines spies are
employed to watch the conductors ana
drivers, and II they fail to stop for PEG
pie who hail the car, and do not make
every effort to squeeze them aboard

London, March 5.-The queens
speech proroguing the parliament was
purely formal, only fifteen lines in
length. Lord Rosebery spent the morn
ing comforting with the cabinet.
A report, apparently based on this
conference. says that John Morley viii
continue as chief secretary of Ireland.
1t is said to be definitely settled that
Earl Kimberley, secretary Of state for
India, will succeed Rosebery as secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs.
The house of lords met this after
noon. Royal assent was given TO the
local government bill The queen
speech was read and the house adj
journed.
Gladstone was busy all morning
with his secretaries and received many
callers, including the queens private
Sc cretary and Justin Mccarthy, the
leader of the Irish nationalist. Har-
court, chancellor of the exchequer, as
sumed the liberal leadership of the
house of commons amid enthusiastic
cheers from the liberal benches. When
the members of the commons were
summoned to the lords to hear the
queens speech, Labouchere and some
other radicals remained behind. After
the reading of the speech, the commons
also adjourned.

PENSION BILL.
LIVELY COnOquy Between Messrs.
Black and Cannon.

Black and Cannon.
Washington, March Breckenridge
reported the urgent deficiency bill with
the Senate amendments. The latter
were not concurred in and the bill was
sent to conference.
McCreary, of Kentucky, asked unan-
imous consent for the passage of the
Senate resolution for the appointment
of a commissioner to represent this gov
ernmenC at the Antwerp exposition.
Bailey, Of Texas, objected, and the
bill to make Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, a
port Of entry, was passed.
After one or two other attempts TO
get things passed by unanimous con-
sent, the House took up the regular Or
der of business.
Delegate Joseph introduced bill for
the admission of New Mexico.
Cannon, of Illinois, raised the point of
no quorum and the bill was withdrawn.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the pension bill.
Hepburn Republican,, of Iowa, de-
clared that the late confederate states
contributed not one dollar in the pay
1g,ent of pensions. OF the $3.50 000 600
internal revenue taxes, the south paid
less than 100000 Of the Sl77, 600
customs receipts, the south paid but
81 600 900: of miscellaneous receipts, less
ing the southern members. you con-
tribute less than $15,000,000 to the reve-
nue. of the government. How do you
get that back? Nine millions return
as sugar bounty; S5,000,000 in pensions,
and IS 500 600 as a deficit in the postal
receipts. You, therefore, receive back
$4,000, 900 more than you contribute. You
contribute not one cent 10 northern pen
sions.
what difference does it make to you
what we do with our own money!
Republican applause.
The first proof of hostility to the PEN
sioners by the administration Hepburn
found in Grover Cleveland, president;
the second in Hoke Smith, secretary
of the interior.
Cannon, of Illinois, concluded the de-
bate for the afternoon. In course OF
his speech he drew General Black INFO
2 most subtle colloquy, CanaonS puf-
nose being to commit General Black to
fhe Iatter's opinion of Cleveland's PEN
sion policy during his first admins
traction. All his finesse, however, awaited
nothing. as Black was on his guard and
refused TO be trapped.
Cannon then sought to get an express
sion upon the present pension policy.
General Black replied that he had al
ready given an opinion of the Demo-
cratic idea. of pensions
.sThe country" replied Cannon, cares
not three hurrahs in hades what the
democratic party thinks; what it
vo1lld like to know is whether the pen
sion policy OF Grover Cleveland is a
Inst one. I believe my colleague Gen
eral Black does himself an injustice
- SThen he seeks to make his own mag
nificent war record cover malicious
and Wanton attack upon his COM
rades
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.

Chicago, March 5.-Chairman Cald-
we'll tonight handed down decision,
denying the request of the Atchison
road for boycott against the Southern
Pacific on passenger business.
After going over, at great length, the
causes of the dispute, the chairman
says that the Atchison is entitled to
no relief under the association agree
ment, because the Southern Pacific has
not been guilty of such action as could
render it subject to punishment under
the association rules, even if it were
an association line. 1t is guilty of no
offense against the association and con-
Isequently the association has no right
to make fight against it.
This will drive the Atchison from
the Western Passenger association. It
will tomorrow morning send a formal
notice of withdrawal from the assOcia-
ton. It will, unless the matter is now
settled by arbitration, promptly pro-
coed to make fight on California
rates from Chicago instead of the Mis-
souri, river and there is prospect for
very low rates to California.
The Atchison, once out of the asso-
citation, will remain out until the Union
racine mas agreed 10 become men,
Der.
There is a strong likelihood that libel
suits will be instituted by receivers Of
the Atehison against Chairman Midg-
ley of the Western Freight ass5cia-
ton and the general managers of the
several lines. who have passed a resolu-
ton declaring the receivers and high
officials of the road were not protecting
its interests, as officials of the court
should do because they refused the
pass agreement.
Vice-President Robinson and Passen-
ger Traffic Manager White, of the
Atchison. have gone east to confer with
the receivers about the proposed suits
and about Withdrawing from all west
ern associations on account of what
they consider the insult offered the Of
lfcials of the Atchison system.
Mr.. Midgley today declared that it
would make very little difference if the
tAtchison withdrew from the Western
Freight associa ion, and declared lllln-
self undaunted by the prospect of the
| libel suits.
The resolution con 1emning the Atchi-
son were passed when it was know1t
by the meeting which passed them that
two other roads represented in the meet
ling were and had been issuing passes
to influence business in direct violation
of the proposed agreement.

TO THROW THEM OUT.
Serious Conflict Between Chicago
and Cook County.

and Cook County.
Chicago, March 5-The board of
commissioners of Cook county, accord
ing to the announcement made today,
are about to try TO throw the officials
and employees and the city of Chicago
out of a portion of the massive build
ing bounded by Washington, La Sale
and Randolph and Clark streets,
known as the city hall. This action,
the commissioners say, is TO be taken
because the business of both city and
county has grown to such an extent
that the county representatives must
have more offices. Cook county ac-
quired title to the ground on which
the structure stands by patent from
the state of Illinois in 1881. In 1858
arrangements were made with the city

the cost of erecting the court house,
and ten years later the city was given

covered by the city hall

1851 and it prevents a sale or a trans
fer of the land, which they assert null

seriously alarmed over the threats of
the county board, and think they can

present position indefinitely.

been met, and tentatively agreed upon;
but even these agreements are subject
TO the approval of the treasury de-
partment and the needs of the gov
eminent in the matter of revenue.
Secretary Carlisle has been with the
committee most of the day and again
this evening to discuss and compare
the changes.
The difficulties surrounding an agree
ment On sugar are the greatest the
tariff makers have to contend with.
1t appears, also, that the proposition
for an increased tax on whisky is
mixed up with the proposed duty on
sugar. If the latter is agreed to, the
necessity for an increased whisky tax
disappears.
1t is understood the committee has
also been giving attention to the to-
bacco schedule in the internal revenue
bill during the day and had the inter-
nal revenue commissioner before them
to make suggestions concerning the
rates and the method of collecting as
well as the other tax in this part Of

"oLD LADY AT wINsDoR."
Why Victoria Did Not Stand by
Gladstone.

London, March 5.-At the annual
meeting of the Council of the London
Liberal Radical Union, James Stuart,
M. P, proposed a resolution of regret
at the resignation of Gladstone. and
expressing confidence in Rosebery and
Sir William Harcourt.
George Howell, NJ p, an advanced
Liberal in favor of home rule, seconded
the resolution, but said he did so with
regret, because he thought Gladstone
was bounded out of political life.
cOh's'D Mr.. Howell sale is was use
less to disguise matters. but the sup
position was that the old lady of Wind
scr Chisses and .'oh's'D and some of his
old colleagues had not been as strong
as they might have been in keeping the
grand old man at his post.
Another speaker declared that the
queen had influenced Gladstone to re-
tire because she wanted Rosebery a
premier before he married a princess,
this being a reference to the rumor that
Rosebery would marry a daughter of
the Prince of Wales.
More ''oh's' greeted this, and the res
olution Of Stuart was adopted.

DEvILIsH WAS THE PLOT.
A Great Plan That Failed to Work
Properly.


Charleston, March 5.-Today Govern
or McCorkle received a telegram from
Mayor Banks, commanding at Eagle.
stating that man had been arrested
at Montgomery with "a dynamite cart
ridge on his person. The man was
brought to this city. He said he was
engaged in an attack on Wyant's tip
pie; had attended all the meetings and
knew all Of the strikers plans From
his confession the following story is
obtained:
The riot at Acme was carefully plan
ned, and was only frustrated by the
faction of the authorities. The strikers
took to Acme twenty-seven large dyna-
mite cartridges to blow up the works
and destroy the stores. Their purpose
was to loot the stores.
AT their meetings yesterday, last
night and on Saturday, the arrange
ment was made with the connivance of
certain people to arrest Wyant, bring
him over to Montgomery and turn him
over to a mob OF miners. His life would
not have been worth a penny. In addi-
ton to this, when the soldiers came,
accompanying the sheriff in making ar
rests for murder, the fuses of dynamite
cartridges were to be lighted with ci-
gars and thrown among the troops and
posse.
AS it happened. however. only a small
lpart of the programme was carried
tout. Wyant was arrested but when
four constables, one of whom had said
he would bring Wyant to Montgomery
or kill him, attempted to take Wyant
to Montgomery. he resisted and told
him he was perfectly willing to go to
Fayetteville, where he could have some
sort of show; but he did not propose to
be taken to Montgomery for the pur-
pose of being killed by the mob.
This morning, he called on the mill
tia for protection, and when the con-
stables attempted to take him, one OF
them was arrested for murder and a
platoon of soldiers took Wyant to Fay
letteville, where he will have his pre-
| liminary trial.

IVES MAKES A REQUEST.
agreement Recently Promulgated
should Be Withheld.

New York, March 5-President Bray
ton Ives, officially in behalf of the
directors of the Northern Pacific has
asked the bondhOlders Of the company
to withhold the acceptance Of the
agreement recently promulgated by
the committee claiming to represent
the consolidated bondhOlders, and
states four reasons for his request.
Those are: That the publication of
such an agreement is premature: that
the scope of the committee is too linn
Iited; that the constitution Of the COM
mittee is unfortunate, and that apart
from the foreign interest hitherto re-
presented by Mr.. Willard, the commit
tee owns and controls but a limited
amount Of bonds. Ives urges that
while the Northern Pacific earnings
continue to decrease, and in. the alb
sence of q full and accurate financial
statement from the receivers no basis
for plan of reorganization can be pre-
scented. The directors, Mr.. Ives says,
own personally large amounts of bonds
and represent millions belonging to
their friends. He finally urges that d
new committee, representing all inter
ests, be formed, or that the present
committee be enlarged.

Governor Reynolds, Delaware, says

The judge of this state has tied the

Ccrbett-Mitchell fight took place. This
fact, however, I will state: If l am

parties interested to have the Corbett-
