Four Persons. Fatally Burned in At
tempting to Save Property.
WINNIPEG, Oct. Flour people were
fatally burned near here while fighting
prairie fires. Edward St. German,
aged II, was engaged with an elder
brother in an endeavor to save several
haystacks, when their clothing caught
fire. Edward was burned to a crisp
and the elder brother was so badly
burned that he cannot recover. At an
other point some Canadian Pacific rail-
ROAD employees were endeavoring to
drive back the flames from the railroad
property. Edward Lukynan, section
man, and a foreman, name unknown,
were surrounded by the flames and both
persisted. It is feared other fatalities
from prairie fires have occurred. as fires
were raging on all sides.

THE STATES CASE.

Attorney General Childs Argues Against
Railroad Consolidation.
ST. PAUL, Oct. S.-The State of Min
nescta, by Attorney General Childs,
has applied to Judge Kelly of the Ram
sey county district court for an injunc-
ton, pending the suit restraining the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways from consolidating. The ac-
ton is entirely separate from and indie
pendent Of the recent move in the fed
eral courts, and is brought by the attor-
ney general on the grounds that in
entering into such consolidation the
Great Northern is exceeding its corpo-
rate powers, and moving contrary to
the policy of the state in destroying
competition. Attorney General Childs
made the argument for the State of
Minnesota and the two roads interested
were represented by Davis, Kellogg &
Severance. In opening the case Attor-
ney General Childs said:
1--WE contend that the law of 1894
positively contains the same provisions
and that the laws of 1881 are practically
the same. These privileges can only be
conveyed by lines so connected and 50
situated as to become one continuous
line; but to consolidate with a parallel
line or competing line of rosd, the law
is explicit in it's provisions against it.
The vice of such consolidation was as
manifest in 1874 as it is now. The
right to consolidate dses not carry with
it the right to act against the manifest,
if unexpressed, policy of the state.
Wherever in the charter of this COM
pany there may be general terms allow
ing consolidation, it cannot be CONSOLE
dation of parallel or competing lines"

MIR. REEDS PROGRAM.

In speculatiBg upon what may be done or
omitted by the Congress which assemblies
today, one crucial fact must be taken into
account. 1t is that no legislation will
be perfected, at least so far sas the House
of Representatives is concerned, unless
it meets with the appreciation of Speaker
Reed. There has been no House since
that over which Mr.. Blaine presided where
the rule of the Speaker will be so omDipo-
tent as it will be in that Of the Fifty
fourth Congress.
In view OF these facts it is lest
to look TO Mr.. Reeds policy, SO far
as it was outlined by him in his speech
in the caucus Saturday night. 1t is COM
forting to find there an assurance that
no legislation tending to retard or dis
turb the country's prosperity will be coun-
tenanced by him. The restoration of con-
filence in business circles, so far as legis-
an eminently wise, but also a patriotic
undertaking. Crude and hasty'' pro-
cesses are to be Stunned.
Mr.. Reed refers TO the fact that the eyccu-
tive branch of the government is not po-
litically in sympathy with the legislative,
but he remarks significantly that at times
rest is as health-glving as exercise. No
measure, therefore, is likely to be forth
coming from committee, or pass through the
House, which, in Mr.. Reeds opinion, is
likely to encounter determined opposition or
objection "at the other end OF the Avenue"
With characteristic emphasis MIR. Reed
gives notice to the Senate that he intends
all bills relating to taxation to originate
in the House, and in the same words he
makes it known that White House influence
or dictation in this regard viii not be very
graciously received. These utterances, to-
getiIer with what are generally understood
to be Mr.. Reeds views, make it tolerably
certain that comparatively little tariff or
financial legislation will be had. and that
the work of the House will be elargelylinited
to the passage of appropriation bills and
other routine matters.
The morning times., 1895-12-02
ONLY FOR A CONFERENCE
No Policy to be Formulated at the

Nominations for President Pro TEN
May Be Made and Minor Matters
Attended To.

After adjournment of the Senate today

1t Is given out that 10 decisive action will be

the purpose or general conference. IL being
the first opportunity for Senators to get
together OF the nine months recess,
A nomination for president of the Senate
pro TEN may be agreed upon. and committee
vacancies will he discussed. The elective
Officers will also be considered, but no
action on these matters is expected for
several days at lea st.
Inthemeantime, however, there willbe the
Encouragement of committees, and the mat
ter of distributing the appropriation bills
among the appropriate committees after the
method that obtains in the House, to occupy
the attention of the caucus. A resolution
providing for this distribution will be Of
fered as soon as actica ble, ii is said, by
Senator Dubois.
There are numerous candidates for the
two elective officers of the Senate. The
most prominent one for secretary is the
Hon. George c. GorhaIn OF California. who
held the position for twelve years. No
program has been arranged for the rest or
the week after Tuesday, and aside from
the introduction of bills, and resolutions.

THAT EURopEAN CoNCEnT

Nothing is More plain than that the
suItan is playing hide and seek with the
powers. II he thought that they were
really in earnest in their demands upon him
he would never have refused la comply
with their requests for reforms. But the
sultan appreciates fully that The sO-called
European concert does not exist, in fact;
tnat one is afraid uf the other taking some
sort uf action, and that England's move
ments and policy are opposed by all the
others.
II is not surprising. therefore, to find
that the massacres in Turkish Asia are still
continuing, and that fears exist tTat in
stead of decreasing they will probably spread
in the near future. With all the inherent
weakness OF the purte's administration it
is absurd to think that Turkish t-nops
would slaughter the Armenian subjects
of the realm and that officers would stand
by ana sanction the nassacres unless they
had been stimulated thereto by orders or
hints from Cunstantinoplc.
These horrors that shock the civilized
world and " ouid disgrace a tribe Of can
nibals, could he put an end to in day,
were it not that politics takes precedence
of sentiment If the powers were not
Jealous that one might obtain some small
advantage which the others did not enjoy,
or that a struggle might ensue, the conse-
queDces OF which cannot be even calcu-
lated, the end of Turkish rule would come
quickly. As it is, however, Abdul Hamed
will go on making protes,ations Of reform
and Armenian Christians will continue TO
be massacred until something transpires
to dissolve that concert into succession
of discords.

WIEN CONGRESS MEETS

Thirteen months from the time OF Its
election the Fifty fourth Congress meets
for the first time today. For three months
OF that time the Congress, which the peo-
pie in November, 1894, repudiated, con-
tinucd TO leGislate, and the Congress OF their
choice has been doing nothing all the time
except to draw pay since the fourth day of
last March So incongruous a proceeding
is not to bc met with in any other country
Ever since the panic of 1893 the Re-
publicans have charged the responsibility
for it upon the Democratic party. They de-
Clarcd that it was the result of the repeal
of the Sherman silver act. and the repeal
ofthc Mckinley tariff Ia W, and of the fea of
other similar legislation. They rang the
changes on this ali through the land, and
either this argument or some other equally
potent, so impressed the people that by an
overwhelming majority they dethroned the
Democratic party, and put the Republican
party in power instead, at lea st, so far as the
House of Representatives is concerned.
The logical process, of course, would
have been to have the new Congress as
scmble within few weeks after its election,
SO as to take upon itself the task of remedial
legislation, for which it had received the
recent mandate from the people. Instead
of that, however, the repudiated legislature
went on legislating just as il nothing had
happened, ard its successor was not hea rd
of again until more than year has passed.
As the present month will have passed be-
fore the House is in full working order and
the holiday recess over. that body viii not
enter upon doing what the people bade it
do until fourteen months after the mandate
had been given.
The trees will be budding again before
any measure OF Importance is perfected
1t may or may not pass the Senate. IT may
or may not be vetoed by the President. II
it be one of crucialimportance it may furnish
the keynote for the campaign of 1896,
which viii precede the election of a Presi-
dent, who VIII not take his seat until March,
1897, and of a Congress that viii not meet
until December of that year. The mandate
of the people, given in 1894, viii be still
unexecuted in December, 1897.
The whole business is so absurd, one
would think that Congress would apply
itself to make a change which win bring
1t to work as quickly after the election as
practicable
