Civic Federation Members Are Not All
Satisfied.

The Civic Federation discussed num-
Der of measures yesterday. The executive
committee was empowered to send repre-
sentative to Sacramento to keep close
watch on the work being done in the
Legislature. Some of the speakers as
serted that work was being done quietly to
undermine the work of the federation,
and therefore this action was taken.
The executive committee was author
lied to appoint subcommittee of three to
call upon Archbishop Riordan and Rabbi
Voorsanger and get definite answer from
them in regard to their attitude toward the
federation.
The chairman appointed Rev. D. H,
Irwin, Rev.W. l. Kip and Rev. E. B: Stuart

to proposed reforms, and the Law and

ager, Dismissed.
The battle between the Thespians and
walters in the Louvre week ago Monday
night was again described in Judge Joach-
imsen's court yesterday afternoon.
Witnesses for the defense in the case of
the manager; J. A. Wilkins, charged with
resisting an officer, were heard. They all
testified to the same effect that Sergeant
Christensen did not throw his coat omen
and show his star till after he had told
Wilkins he was under arrest.
The defendant said he did not recognize
the sergeant as an officer, and when he
told the walters ''to throw them out" he
alluded to the crowd. He would have
been only too glad to have had an officer
there.
Prosecuting Attorney Dare thought it
had been a mistake on both sides, and
while the testimony was conflicting on
many points he was satisfied no willful
falsehoods had been told. The Judge dis
missed the case.

POPULISTS DYING OUT.

sOrbed by the New Party.
CANTON, Ohio, March 9. = Senator
PETER. of Kansas, addressed a political
meeting here last night, in the interest
of the municipal campaign of Canton
Populists In an interview the senator
said that he expects the Populist party
finally to be absorbed by a new party.
Said he: 'sThere are many elements
in conflict with the policy of the ruling
powers. The country is now controlled
by practically four combinations-the
land monopoly, the labor monopoly, the
transportation monopoly, the money
monopoly. The people of all parties
and of all phases of life see the baneful
effects of these combinations.
"Some of the evils are in one party and
some in another. To make their voices
heard in legislation the opposing ele-
ments must get their votes together
The end will be a great party made up
of the opposing elements, which party
will absorb the Populists and large por-
tions of the Republicans and Democrats.
All of the reform movements, such as
the Populists, the Prohibitionists. ETC.,
will get together on common ground in
this movement and then there will be q
new name"

CAN'T OWN UTILITIES.

Gov. MorriI1 Vetoes the Bill Allow ing
Pittsburg to Purchase Electric Plant.
Governor Morrill, yesterday vetoed the
bill authorizing the city of Pittsburg to
purchase and construct an electric light
and power plant and electric street rail
way. The reasons for his disapproval
are that the bill is unconstitutional. He
cites section 6, article 12, of the constitu-
ton, which says: 1.-THE legislature shall
pass no specific act comforting corporate
powers"
AS Topeka owns its own electric light
plant and many other cities own their
own waterworks it is not just clear why
this act should be unconstitutional.
Whether the question hinges on the
words specific act" or whether it is be-
cause of the street railway provision, the
governor does not make plain. If To-
peka's electric lights are unconstitutional
that may account for the unsteadiness OF
the arc lights on some occasions.

| aged to escape, and took refuge on the
engine.
| At Chase station the trainmen were
| all driven from the tops of the cars, and
it was expected that an attack would be
made on the engine. But after the
tramps had secured possession of the
train they began quarreling among
| themselves, and during one of their
fights man was thrown. from the train,
and it is thought fatally injured if not

Conductor Reilly telegraphed to this
city for assistance and when the train
reached the west yard in this city there
were about fifty policemen in waiting.
AS soon as the train was brought to a
stop the tramps jumped from the cars
! and started to run across the fields a
heavy fog prevented the officers from
capturing many of them, but after rum
ming fight in which several shots were
fired the officers succeeded in capturing
eleven of the gang. When the tramps
were cornered they showed fight and
only surrendered at the point of reyolv-
ers.
This morning the prisoners were Civ
