BRITISH ENGINEERS.
Almost Unanimous Against Accept
ing. Employers Proposals.

Almost Unanimous Against Accept
ing. Employers Proposals.
London, Dec 13-The ballot taken by
the unions of the Amalgamated Society
of Engineers is almost unanimously
against accepting the proposals of en-
ployers.
1.-THE ballot referred to in the fore
going dispatch grew out of the formal
conference between the representatives
of the striking engineers and their en-
ployers.1
The general impression when the con-
ference was adjourned to allow the bal
lot was that unless the unions accepted
the proposals of the employers there
would be a renewal of the deadlock.
The strike began on July 10 last,
with a lockout against some of the en-
gineers. followed by the engineers call
ing out a large number of men, until
about hundred thousand engineers
were thrown out of work The os-
tensible reason for the strike was the
question of payment for overtime, and,
incidentally. for eight hours per day.
The engineers have insisted upon eight
hours work and that all overtime must
count as one and a quarter time for
the first two hours and as time and a
half after that

CHICAGO TO DENVER.
Officials of the Burlington Announce
Reduction

Chicago, Dec 13-The freight Off
Gals of the Burlington road have an
nounced that in the very near future
they will reduce the rates from Chi
cago to Denver to a point lower than
the present rates from Chicago to the
Missouri river. The reductions will be
made because of the low rate made to
Denver via the Gulf of Mexico ports
The long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce will be ignored
in this instance, as any road has a
right to ignore it, according to a re-
cent decision of the supreme court,
when it is meeting the rates of any
water route.
The western roads are considering
the advisability of making a rate of
one fare for the round trip for the cat
tie growers convention to be held in
Denver next month. The proposition
win undoubtedly be adopted.

Important irrigation Decision.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The decision of
the supreme court of New Mexico in the
case of the Springer Land association VS..
Patrick Ford. was today sustained in an
opinion by the United States supreme
court rendered by Chief Justice Fuller.
The question involved was whether a
mechanics lien upon an irrigation system
covered only the bitches and rivers. or in
addition to these lands the ditch The
court held that the lien applied to the
lands held under the ditch as well as to
the ditch itself In this case 1000 acres
were involved.
This decision was based on an act OF the
territory and in reading his opinion the
chief justice said that adjudication would
depend necessarily on the local statutes
of different states and territories and to
the variance in their laws judicial de-
cisions must necessarily conform.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Postmaster
General Gary has amended regulations

Montgomery e. Irving, who is asid to be

is likely to be helped if they can ever be
induced to abandon coffee for ten days to
a month and take on Postum Cereal Food
Coffee which instead of narcotizing and
destroying the nervous system, furnishes
the food elements demanded by nature to
rebuild the gray matter in the nerve
centers throughout the body.
Postum is widely endorsed by athletic
trainers, famous bicycle riders and boxers
as well as thousands of well known men
and women who earn their living by
mental occupations.
Postum is the only Cereal COTE yet

other drugs.

WHAT WAS DISCOVERED.

But in canvassing the situation it has
been found that most Democratic
members not only favor a complete re-
peal of the law, but would oppose any
thing short of a repeal AS the Re-
publican movement is not toward a
complete repeal, but rather for modifi-
cation of the law, there appears to be
no basis by which the anti-civil service
reformers of both parties can unite.
1t is claimed, however, that a modifi-
cation of the bill will receive the votec
of two-thirds of the Republican mem
bers, and will have a. good chance of
passing the senate and receiving the
presidents signature.

NOTIFICATIONS.

Mr.. Pearson of North Carolina, who
inaugurated the movement, and is a
member of the special committee, says
the essential notifications of the law
likely to be considered by the COM
mittee are as follows:
Excluding from the operations of the
law cases in which one government Of
ficer is held responsible for the acts of
his subordinate, as public collectors of
revenue; examinations of those already
covered into the classified service with
out examination, so as to make them
more practical and less theoretical;
distinct provision against life tenure,
and for a stated term of service; affir-
nation of the rights of heads of de-
partments to remove, reduce or pro-
mote in the interest of the public; a
limitation of the law to specific depart
ments, bureaus, ETC., and an exclusion
of those not enumerated.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1S.-Mr.
Lodge (Mass) made an effort in
the senate today to secure an i'm

bill, which is substantially the same
measure that was passed by the Fifty

dent Cleveland. Mr. Allen (Neb) OBJ
jected to an immediate vote and sug-
gested that the final vote on the
amendments and the bill be taken on
Jan. IL at p. m. This suggestion was
accepted by Mr.. Lodge, and the order
for a vote at that time was made.

ENLARGED FUNCTIONS.

Another point that will materially figure
in the discussion of the subject is the al
legged rapid and unauthorized enlarge
ment of the functions of the civil service
commission. The opponents of the COM
mission say that the original law was
never intended to apply to tenure of office
and removals. and that the commission,
growing from a corps of three commits
sioners and several clerks to a large in
stitution, has arrogated to itself not only
the rank of a department, but the power
of debating to heads of departments what
action they will take, and, further, to en-
the case of the Virginia collector of in
ternal revenue An attempt will be made
to define the exact functions of the COM
mission
