The HOUSE or LORDS.

| Personnel and Powers Of Great Rritain's
Unpopular Legislative Branch.
The English house OF lords Tor peers)
! consists of the whole peerage of Eng
land and Of certain representatives of
| the peerages Of Scotland and Ireland;
but, according to the ST. Louis Post
Dispatch, many Of these slast have also
English titles which give them seats in
the house. AS, for instance, the duke of
Buecleuch, Scotch peer, sits as earl
of Doncaster, and the duke of Leinster,
an Irish peer, as Viscount Leinster.
According to the latest official list, ex-
elusive Of twelve minors and one baron,
whose claim is not established, the
present house of lords is composed as
follows: Five princes of the blood, two
Rrchbishops, twenty-one dukes, TWEEN
Ey-two marquises, one hundred and
fifteen earls, twenty-five viscounts,
twenty-four bishops, three hum
dred and four barons, sixteen Scot
fish representative peers elected for
each parliament, and twenty-eight
Irish representative peers elected for
life. In all, FIVE hundred and sixty.
All peerages are now hereditary, but
until 1856 there were occasional crea-
tions of life peerages. In that year.
however, it was decided that such peers
could not sit in the house, and since
then none have been made. Peerages
are lost by attainder for high treason,
and an attainted peerage can only be
restored by act of parliament-not by
the crown. The house of lords may
originate legislation of all kinds ex-
cept money bills, which must come
from the house of commons. The for
mer has also veto power upon tho
legislation of the latter, and can throw
out any bill from the lower house, no
matter how large a majority it has re-
ceived there. Il is this veto power
which, more than any and everything
else, makes the house of lords unpopu-
lar with the great mass of voters

FRUSTRATED BY FLOODS.
Plans Of q. p. Stockhold srs Disturbed by
Damages 60 That Road.

OMAHA, Neb., June S.-The damage
done TO the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company BY the recent foods in the
Columbia and Snake rivers seems to have
been considerably over estimated, accord
ing to Secretary T. NJ. Orr of the Union
Pacific. although Mr.. Orr stated it would
be impossible to estimate the damage
until after the waters had subsidized, leav-
ing the rails exposed. He thought how
ever, that not more than a hundred miles
OF track would be found damaged aud in
Many places he said the track would I'M
doubtedly be found intact when the waters
fell. The repairs necessary to bring
the track back 10 its old condition will DO
made by the Union Pacific but will be
charged up against the Oregon Railway
company, which will have TO make good
the amount expended for the maintenance
and repair of the road. Probably it will
take a million dollars to put the road back
In its normal condition, which will leave
the net earnings of the Oregon Company
in a very dilapidated shape.
This flood, which has covered almost the
whole of Idaho like sea, comes at most
inoppoItune time for the bondholders of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
filing bill for separate
receiver. In railway circles it is
thought the bill Will not be filed now until
after the tremendous damage has been re-
paired By the Union Pacific, when they
will jump in and take the road away. But
there will be few heartaches on the part
of Union Pacific officials when the road
sewers its connection with the Overland.
Since 1891 the traffic people of the Union
Pacific have been in constant stow over
theiI position in the PalOuse country. and
continual quarrels have ensued with the
Northern Pacific aud Great Northern lines
over Pacific coast business. Should the
Oregon Railway aud Navigation COM
pany get separate receivership it
would leave the Union Psc fic in
much better condition on through traffic
arrangements than through its present
lease on the line which includes some two
thousand miles OF track aud water facili-
ties. Altogether the conditions are pre-
carious and the people at headquarters are
not inclined even to speculate as to what
the outc come will De.
At Union Pacific headquarters it was
given out that the washouts along the
Snake river between Payne and Market
Lake, a distance OF some twelve miles.
will be repaired by Sunday night, when il
is thought the receding waters of the
Columbia will show how much repair
work must be done on the Oregon railway
line

OFFICIALS ALARMED.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, june s. = Two at
tempts have been made by strikers within
the past twenty four hours to wreck coal
and coke trains. The discovery in both
cases was made just in time to prevent
wrecks. A number of men were aboard
the trains and livss might have been lost.
While the companies have been fearing
such work, these were the first attempts
to destroy coal and coke trains. The strik-
ers have made numerous threats and the
officials Of the road are very much alarmed
over the situation. The strikers seem to
be determined to stop the shipment of
coke and coal from the region.
