Consolidated Elections.

LITTLE ROCK Feb. 12.-The passage by congress of the bill repe aling the feder- al election laws has virtually settled the question of consolidating elections in this state. This question has been the bone of contention in all the legislative sessions since 1880, but the bill always failed. Gov. Fishback and large num- Der of prominent citizens have ex- pressed themselves upon the subject. All now favor the consolidation.
 Gov Fishback said: ''The only ey- cuse for the expense of separate elec- tions was fear of federal interference. Now. that having been wiped out. we can and ought to consolidate. It costs but S2O. 900 or s30,000 directly to hold a general election-I have not, calcu- lated precisely how much-and it costs at least sl50,0 indirectly ill loss of time to voters. This should be saved and will be by consolidating. Unless something turns up, of which l now know nothing, I shall recommend it. :"

 HoT STRINGS. Ark, Feb. 12.-Mayor R. L. Williams has received from Hon. c. R. Breckinridge several copies of bill which has been introduced in con- gress for the relief of certain heirs set ting up a claim to all tLe property in this city owned by the government Maj. Breckinridge says he is giving due attention to the matter, but re- quests the mayor to refer it to attor- neys for investigation in order that he may be fully advised as to the status of the claim. The bill was introduced in congress January 10 by Mir. Boatner and was referred to the committee on judiciary.
 The bill demands that the claims of the heirs at law of Don Juan Fithoil to one square league of land. em- bracing the hot springs of Arkansas. with all papers relating thereto. be re- ferred to the court of claims for hear ing upon the petition in the matter, a bill of equity to be filed within ninety days from the passage of the act. The bill specifies that if the court shall decide in favor of the Fithoil heirs. judgment shall be rendered only for such real estate as the government now owns, and the money received from the sale of the rest of the lands which may be covered by the alledged claim and the rents derived from the property. but that the vested rights of purchasers from or assigns of the United States shall not be impaired 1t cites the at torney general ito appear in behalf of the government, and if the court shall decide against the United States the attorney general shall, within thirty days from the rendition of the judg- m-nt. appeal the case to the supreme court of the United States, and that from any judgement rendered the Fithiol heirs may appeal to the su- preme court within sixty days from its rendition, and the said court shall give such cause precedence.

Arkansas Chiefs of Police.

Chief of Police McMahon of Little Rock has issued a,call to the chiefs and town marshals of the state for con- vention to meet in Little Rock March 20.
 ''We want a meeting of every chief and town marshal in the state" said Chief McMahon, ''and I think we will be successful. The main object of this organization is to better acquaint our selves, and arrange for communication and cooperation in running down criminals It is very important that the town marshals should attend the meeting. The way it is now criminals commit their crimes in large cities and escape to small towns, where it is an easy matter to avoid the officers, as these towns have only one officer, the marshal. If the officers will go into this organization I am sure the crim- inals of this state will stand very little chance of escaping arrest"

stay.
The tribe numbers about 900 and the

settlers of the village fed about twenty
bucks and forty ponies, the hay fed to the
poaies being worth $40 per ton. The
