Terre Haute, Ind, March 12@The
people here are watching with consid-
cradle interest the agitation now going
on concerning the Brotherhood of LO-
connective Firemen. Since the grand
lodge was moved from this city to Pc
ora there has been considerable dissat-
isfaction, and the members in this city
are ripe for an investigation. 1t is
given out on authority that cannot be
disputed that there are now in the
brotherhood less than II. 600 active fire
men, men who are actually employed
on railroads There are is 900 firemen
employed by railroads who are not
members of the brotherhood So the
brotherhood is practically made I'D of
membership that is not in railroad
work During the Galveston conven-
ton the following circular was given
to the delegates for the purpose of
showing that the funds of the brother
hood We're being dissipated, but the cir
cular did not have the desired effect
and the present grand lodge officers
were reelected
The figures given herein are taken
from the reports of the grand trustees
and are official TO that extxent- 1t is
possible the figures may be in some
slight instances different from the books

materially change the results:

NO REDUCED RATES FOR THE FIGHT
Western Roads Decline to Make Any
Concessions.

Chicago, Feb. 6-The western roads
have declined to make any reduced rates
for the coming prize fight in Nevada. The
chances are, however. that a low rate
will be made, as one road has already
given notice Of its Intention to make a
low fare independently of any action by
the association, and 1t is likely that 9TH
ers will be forced to take similar action.
FitzsimmOns' Foxy Play.
New York, Feb. 6-Robert Fitzsimmons
denies that he has signed new articles
for the proposed fight with Corbett. He
attached his signature to articles at Jer-
ssy City last December, and the same
document was signed by Corbett. These
articles are the only ones which have
direct bearing upon the agreement to
meet March IT, A few days ago Fitz-
simmons tore up the agreement signed
in this city last September, but such men
as AL Smith agree with him that the
destruction Of that paper in no way af-
fects the existing agreement for a bout
with Corbett. On the contrary, it less
ems the probability Of any intervention
by New York authorities based upon vio-
lation of state laws which make 1t a mis-
demeanor to enter into an agreement in
this state to engage in a prize fight.

The house devoted nearly the entire day
to consideration of the bill amending tho

MAY RUIN A DAKOTA INDUSTRY.
Effort to Stop Wholesale Granting Of
Divorces.


Washington, Feb. 5.-The supreme court
of the United States may ultimately be
called upon to declare concerning the
validity Of the divorces that have been
ground out by the judicial mills in the
Dakotas and Oklahoma, and should that
august tribunal decide that the divorces
heretofore issued from the mills in ques-
ton are invalid and of no legal effect,
there will be such an aggregation of do
nestle shakings-up as probably no coun-
try in the world has ever witnessed Wo-
men who now regard themselves as wives
will realize that they have been living
for a greater or lesser period under con-
ditions not sanctioned by the law; hus-
bands will find themselves in the same
predicament, while the number of chill
dren who will thus be branded with the
stamp Of illegitimacy can not be esti-
mated.
The decision Of Justice Russell of the
United States supreme court in the now
famous MCGOWAN case, and in which he
holds that neither the wife nor husband
can acquire temporary residence in a for
eign state for the purpose of securing a
divorce, has, In the opinion OF eminent
lawyers, laid the ground work for the
overthrow Of the whole taking divorce
system. The case is now pending In the
New York court of appeals, but whatever
may be the decision there, it has been
definitely arranged that the matter shall
be carried up to the United States su-
preme court for definite and final adj
judication of the questions involved. To
this end it is stated that five husbands
who have been victims of Dakota de-
crees have subscribed $4,000 each to a
fund for taking the appeal to the supreme
court. OF the combine, two reside in
New York, one in Boston, one in Phila-
delphia and one in Chicago.
