A LEGAL BATTLE.
Railway Unions Want Judge Jen
kins to Modify His Sweeping
Order.
A Large Attendance OF Labor PEG
pie to Hear the Able Ar
guments.
The Court and the Lawyers Are
Having a Red-Hot Dis
cussiOn.

MILWAUKEE, March 2.-Judge Jen-
kins is listening to arguments on the sp-
~plication of Chief Arthur, Chief Sergeant
and the chiefs Of other railway mems
unions for a modification of Jenkins
order forbidding Northern Pacific EN-
ployes from striking. The court room
was crowded with labor people and their
friends. During the argument Attorney
Harper, for the men, had a hot set-to
with t. @ court. Judge Jenkins broke IN
on him at one time and asked what he
meant by the term striking Harper
replied: Its simply quitting work"
mo, sir" said the judge. "Then what
is a striker" retorted Harper. ats
quitting for the purpose of enforcing
certain conditions" replied the judge.
Harper could not agree with the judge
aud did not seem to be very much awed
by the dignity of a court which usually
keeps even the greatest attorneys very
careful and courteous. But l am not
done with you," shouted Harper, shaking
his fist at the judge. Il will show you
a special act Of congress which gives
men the very rights which you have en-
joined them from exercising" Harper
then resumed his argument. Attorney
Quarles followed in an argument on
the application Of the federal law to the
point at issue. Under the natural con.
structions OF the language of the order
the restrictions are very broad. 1t re-
strains the mon from striking from any
and all causes present and future, and
would not even let the chiefs of railway
orders confer with the men. will you
please point out a clause which prevents
them from so comforting with the men,
asked Judge Jenkins, who exhibited an
unusal amount of feeling throughout the
argument and was frequently vehement
in his remarks. Quarles then gave his
definition of a strike and gave several
references to sustain bis definition. The
Judge said, "there never was any in
tention to prevent the men from quit.
ting. That was their legal right and il
they wanted to, they could stop work
singly or in a body and go to Texas, il
they wished" "Thats all we want
shouted a man from the rear of the
courtroom. The court o afterward:
took a recess.

CIVIL SERVICE.

The Commission Report hat the Law Is
Openly Violated.
WASHINGTON, March In response
to a resolution the civil service COM
mission transmitted to the senate a
statement Of various alleged violations
of the civil service law since March 4,
1889. by officers appointed by the presi-
dent. The feature Of the report is an
attack on Secretary Carlisle and the
treasury department for wholesale
violations Of the civil service require
ments. Commissioner Roosevelt cites
the case of a certain clerk dismissed
from the treasury department for polit-
ical reasons and says that when his at.
tention was called to the fact Carlisle
took the position that it was not a
violation of the civil service law to re-
love a man for political reasons. Roose-
welt therefore recommends that the
matter be brought to the attention Of
the president.

RAISING STATE FUNDS.
The Matter of Revenue for the Next Yea
n Serious Problem.

The Matter of Revenue for the Next Year
ii Serious Problem.
Butte Inter Mountain: Governor
Richards says that a rather serious prob
lem which confronts the state govern
ment is the matter of revenue for the
next year. He says there has been a
heavy shrinkage OF values throughout
the state, and the boards of appraisers
are mercilessly slashing last years values.
The limit of the state tax levy is "a
mills for state purposes. The governor
thought the state board of equalization
would have to order an increase in val
ues. as far as the state is concerned, If
sufficient evenue to meet current ex-
penses is to be raised. The levy fixed by
the appraisers could remain for county
purposes, but it is evident from the
wholesale reduction in the tax rolls that
the state will be the principal sufferer.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-None Of the
silver men expressed surprise when in
formed Of the discouraging remarks of
the British chancellor Of the ~exchequer
regarding the re-assembling of the mon
etary conference. McCreary, American
delegate to the conference, said: "The
outlook does not indicate that an inter-
national monetary conference will be
held this year. There is in Europe a
growing feeling in favor of silver. Many
able men in England favor bi-metallism.
England has blnckaded more than any
other nation a conference, but the de-
mand for bi.metallism will cause another
one to be held as soon as several Of the
leading countries desire it,
Bland said England's action was i'm
material. America could stand on her
own feet. ~ never took any stock in
this international business" he said. 81

The Senate Committee ~Endsavoring to
Perfect . Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The demo-
cratic majority Of the senate committee
on finance resumed it's sitting this morn :
ing with the intention Of continuing the
days session until the bill is perfected
as far as the committee can perfect it.
Members of the committee cay they have
agreed upon some schedules but decline
to give out the figures as any conclusions
reached may be subsequently charged
on account of the bearing rates in one
schedule may have upon another. They
still have in mind the idea of fornulat-
ing what in most respects is a revenue
bill. Some senators who have been be-
fore the committee express the belief
that their requests for higher rates of
duties will be granted. Advocates of the
duty on lead ore have peer as
sured by members of the committee
that a duty of one-fourth of a cent per
pound will be fixed on that article. This
is just half of the rate of the Mckinley
tariff. The Wilson bill makes it practi-
cally free. 1t is stated upon the same
authority that the provisions in the Will
son bill Objectionable to lead ore men,
which let in Mexican lead ore free, when
mixed with silver and ore more valuable
for silver than lead, will be stricken out.
1t is learned from the same source that
lead products will remain as fixed by the
house bill. Unless the committee should
change its decision coal and iron ore will
be given duty of forty cents per ton.

ATTACKS THE LORDS.
The Grand Old Man Calls q Halt
ON the House Of Lords
In His
Speech He Echoes the Sentiment
of the People Of En-
gland.
1t Is Only a Question OF Time Until
the Lords Will Be No
More.

LONDON, March 1.-Gladstone was
loudly cheered this afternoon as he en-
tered the house o. commons. Ihe
speaker put the question that the house
of lords amendment to the local govern
ment bill be Considered. Gladstone rose
and addressed the house in a full, reso-
nent voice, with marvellous energy. He
said:
THE government has felt the oper-
alton of sending and resembling a bill
from one house to the other, and 1t has
continued long enough. Loud cheer
ing.l To continue the process would be
the loss of dignity to both houses, and
the government has decided to stop the
operation and take a decided course.
The government had the choice OF re-
jecting the house Of lords amendments
and abandoning all hope of passing the
bill or to accept them under protest with
the hope of soon reversing them. The
government has adopted the latter
course" [Uheers.] Gladstone continued:
1--WE have now reached the acute age.
It appears that the lords desire to ami
hilate the whole work of the house of
commons. In regard to the present bill
the government desires to save some
thing from the wreck; therefore it has
accepted the amendment, but with a de-
claration of differences between the
houses that is not temporary or casual.
This state of things, l am compelled to
say, cannot continue. Prolonged cheers.
The issues raised between the assembly
elected by the people, and the assembly
occupied by named men OF virtue and
talents are of considerable variety, once
raised they must go to issue. lCheers.
No doubt there is higher authority than
the house Of commons. namely the au-
thorlty of the nation, Icheersl which
must in the last resort decide. [Renewed
cheers and opposition cheers at once.
When that judgment is to be invited is
a question which the government alone
can decide" Gladstone closed by ask
ing the house to accept the lords amend
mente.
Hon A. J. Balfour, conservative lead
er, rose amid cheers to reply. He said
G%ladstone's speech was a declaration
against the ancient constitution of the
realm and asked why the government
did not start an agitation against the
house of lords when the latter rejected
tine home rule bill. That bill had con-
WINGED the country that legislation must
be controlled by a chamber which would
not betray them. At the conclusion of
Balfour's speech the amendment were
agreed to, 273 to 81, and the house then
adjourned.
There was a state Of feverish excite
ment throughout the debate ana the
strain was apparent in the faces of
Gladstone and other members of the
ministery. While Gladstone was talking
it was whispered on all sides that the
great liberal leader was making his last
speech to the N His delayed
attack on the lords delighted the radicals
and the Irish.
