THE BUSINESS WORLD.

Dun Reports There Is a More Active
Tone, Due TO the SeigniOrage Veto.
New YORK, March 3l.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
1.-THE more active tone in business this
week is, in part. due to be belief no
disturbance of the currency will be
permitted, but other causes helped
forward improvement. Slowly, but
yet quite perceptibly, the force at
work increases. The approach of
spring compels the dealers to replen-
ish stocks and the aggregate of orders,
if smaller than usual at
this season, is distinctly larger
than in January or February.
Except in speculative markets,
prices do not recover, and in some in
stances have gone lower, but the alb
senee of sensational records inspires
hopes that the bottom may have been
reached. Business, though small, is
exceptionally cautious and safe and its
slow gain is more encouraging than a
heavy expansion.
Wheat rose brisllly, with reports
due every year about April l, that
great injury has been sustained. Later
accounts were better and prices fell,
closing two cents higher for the week.

EMPLOYEES WANT THE LAW.
Union Pacific Labor Leaders Opposed to
Quiet Reference of Their Case.

Union Pacific Labor Leaders Opposed to
Quiet Reference of Their Case.
OMAHA, Neb., March 5O.-General
Solicitor Thurston of the Union
Pacific this morning proposed
to the employees that they
refer the wage question to
a commissioner. Grand Chiefs
Arthur, Clark and Sargent and Wiki
inson and their attorneys expressed
themselves as not favorable to this
plan. They said that they wanted
first to have certain principles of law
laid down. Then if any details should
remain these could be referred to a
commissioner.
The principal questions which the
labor leaders wish passed upon are
these: The status of labor organiza-
lions in court; the question of con-
structive mileage, and the stabil-
ity of rules and regulations
governing employment. The I'm
ion Pacific, claims, they say,
that they contend that the rules and
regulations are in the nature ola con-
tract. They do not contend that way.
What they claim is that they are of
the nature of an institution grown
out of twenty years experience and
as such are entitled to great respect.

Immediately collapsed. There were
number of school children
playing close by, and many of
them, with some of the work
men, were hurled a distance by
the force of the water. Frank Hogan,
aged IA, was instantly killed and sew
eral companions sustained injuries
which may result fatally. Three of
the workmen we're badly hurt, while
two others were missed and are pre-
sumed to be under the ruins. The
houses were completely wrecked by
the force of the water, while a half
dozen others were blown from their
foundations and badly damaged.
Barns and other small structures were
smashed to kindlingwood. The best
obtainable list of casualties footed up
five dead and dozen injured.

WASHINGTON, March 81. When
Speaker Crisp assembled the rostrum
yesterday he was given rousing re-
ception from members on both sides
of the house, the demonstration last
ing fully a minute. The battle OF
Thursday was promptly renewed by
Mr.. Reed on a challenge of the cor
rectness of the journal in failing tc
show Mr.. Payne's point of order
on the question of but one teller
acting. On a rising vote the
journal was approved and on
call of yeas and nays the pre-
viOuS question was ordered and debate
limited to fifteen minutes on either
side. After a speech by Mr.. Reed
regarding the speakers ruling, Mr..
Reeds motion to amend the journal
was voted down. The vote on approx
ing the journal showed a quorum
voting.
Mr.. Reeds motion to adjourn was
decided out of order and the speaker
declined to entertain an appeal, and
again refused to state the ground of
refusal, holding that no member has
right to inquire the grounds of de-
cisiOn any more than a lawyer has to
demand the same thing of a Judge on
the bench.
That looks very much like tyr
amy" remarked Mr.. Reed, sar-
castically. The next episode was the
overruling of Mr.. Boutelle's point of
order that the presidents message We
toing the seigniOrage bill could not be
read, the house having made the con-
tested election cases the special order
Again the speaker refused to enter
tain an appeal. The veto message
was.then read and Mr.. Bland gave no
tice that next Tuesday he would move
to pass the bill over the veto
During the roll call on Mr. Burrows
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the house had declared Mr.. Joy not
entitled to his seat, Mr.. Reed, stand
ing near the clerks desk, said he
would like to be permitted to see the
roll call taken. This was resented by
the speaker, who sharply ordered Mr..
Reed to take his seat and directed the
sergeant-at-arms to enforce the order,
as Mr.. Reed did not move fast enough
to suit.
This is entirely unnecessary said
Mr.. Reed, looking the speaker in the
eye.
at is not, replied the speaker. in
stead of taking your seat you respond
every time"
Certainly l do, because the chair
has attacked me-" said Mr.. Reed, now
thoroughly aroused.
There seemed to be an element of
personal hostility between the two
house leaders. Later on the speaker
protested that he had not understood
Mr.. Reed to prefer request to stand
by the clerks desk, and with this
Semi-apologetic explanation the incl
dent closed. The roll call now dis
closing the lack of a quorum, the
house took recess.

BLAND ON THE VETO.
The Silver Champion VIII Now Intro
duce a Free Coinage Bill.


WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Represent-
alive Bland, author of the Bland sill
yer seigniorage bill, authorizes the
following statement concerning the
veto and its effect upon the future of
silver:
"A president at all in sympathy
with the purposes of the bill would
have signed it. College professors
may criticise its language, but a man
who sprang from the people, like
Abraham Lincoln. and representing
not the money power, but the interests
of the masses, would have signed the
bill although college professors might
have stigmatizod him as a railsplitter. Z"
Concerning the future of the silver
movement, Mr.. Bland said
at is evident that under the single
gold standard nothing can be done on
the currency question without con-
sulting the few people who own the
gold of the world.
THE day is fast approaching when
the peoples president will sign a coin
age bill. ] intend to do everything in
my power to present to the president
free coinage bill and let him exer-
else his rules of Lindley Murray on
that"
