WASHINGTON BUDGET.
Studying Strikes in the HOuse-GOV-
ernment Claim Against the
stanford Estate.

Washington, June 8.--Since the recent
strike in the northwest on the Great
Northern railroad, which for several weeks
interrupted the transportation of pas
sengers, freight and mails on $500 miles
of that road, Congressman Tawney, of
Minnesota, has given the subjec of the
settlement of controversies of that nature
by arbitration careful consideration, and
to-day introduced bill looking to that
end. 1t differs materially from all other
bills on the subject introduced in con-
gress. It creates no new officers, but
utilizes the circuit courts in carrying out
its provisions. 1t applies only to con-
troversies between railroad companies
doing an interstate business aud their
employees.
Under the provisions of this bill when
a controversy exists between railroad
company and its employees, which threat
ems : . impede the transportation of pas
GERS or damage to property or mfils,
%. her party by fling petition nay
secure from the circuit court citation
directing the other party to the contro-
versy to appear and answer. If neither
party exercises this right before or with
in reasonable time after the strike oc-
ours, it is made the duty of the U. s. dis
trict attorney, upon the request of any
board of arbitration, to bring the parties
into court for settlement of the dispute.
To-DAY's SENATE.
Senator Hoar's resolution to set at rest
the claim of the government against the
estate of the late Leland Stanford came
over from yesterday and was laid before
the senate At the opening session. Sen
ator Teller suggested that the resolution
be made simply as to the advisability of
releasing the Stanford estate without in
any way touching the validity of the
claim, in order not to affect other claims
which the government might have. SEN
ator Hoar agreed to modify his resolu-
tion in accordance with the suggestion of
Senator Teller. He recounted the con-
versation he had with Senator Stanford
shortly before his death, in which the
latter expressed his intention to transfer
as rapidly as possible the title of the
railroad portion of his estate to the
Leland Stanford, Jr., university. After
further discussion Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, moved to lay the resolution on the
table. The motion carried by vote of
24 to 10. The tariff bill was then laid be-
fore the senate and Senator Cullom took
the floor and delivered a speech on the
general historical phases of the tariff
question.
