Forecast of Railroad Decision.

CHICAGO, April 2O.-The railroads
have the opinion that the supreme
court will this week declare that the
Joint Traffic association is an illegal or
ganization and they are already pro-
ceeding to manage their affairs with
out any reference to it or its orders.
Instructions have been quietly passed
ing agents that they need pay no atten-
ton to the rules Of the Joint Traffic as
sociation in securing their business and
the result was that there was lively
general scramble for business in which
contracts were made for han ling grain
between Chicago and the Atlantic sea
board as low as 10 cents.

Gheyennes Are Ghost Dancing.

GUTHRIE, 0. T., April ls.-Nearly
1000 Cheyenne Indians are gathered
on the banks of the North Canadian,
many miles from the agency, holding a
ghost dance. 1t is feared by many that
the Indians, melted by their medicine
men, will take advantage Of the absence
of troops from neighboring forts to
start an uprising to secure more beef
rations and in revenge for the enforce
ment of the territorial an:!polygamy
law, which has caused great discomfort
in the tribe,

mament for the auxiliary cruisers.


Many agents for ship owners were at
the navy department Offering to sell
craft to the government, but the prices
are said to be excessive and no pur-
chases were made. The important
event in the war department was the
decision to enlist only national guards
men under the first call for troops,
which will be very gratifying to the
militiamen.
Some idea of the cost Of transporting
troops may be formed from the fact
that it was necessary to allot 81 ,0OO, 900
to defray the expenses of ,he move-
ments already ordered. Reports from
! all over the country indicated that the
movements were going on with the
most gratifying celebrity. A pictur-
esque reminder of the warlike condi.
tions was presented right in Washing.
ton by the departure for the south of
the Sixth cavalry, and Secretary Alger,
busted as he was with official tasks,
managed to take time to get to the sta
ton to see them Off An allotment of
funds for balloon service shows that
the war department does not propose to
ignore any of the latest scientific aids
to warfare.

Civil Service Law UDheld.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-In the U nited
States supreme court an opinion was
delivered by Justice Harlan in the cases
involving the corstitutionality Of the
civil service law Of the state of Illinois.
The case involved the application of
the law to the superintendent Of police
requiring him to supply a list of va
cancies, etc. He refused to comply,
taking the case into the courts upon the
plea that the law was contrary to the
federal constitution. Justice Harlan
opinion at1irms the opinion of the state
court aud sustains the constitutionallty
Of the law. The decision was based on
the fact that the case did not present
any federal question.

be six regiments of cavalry and the light
batteries of five regiments of artillery
at New Orleans eight regiments OF in
fantry at Tampa seven regiments OF
infantry and at Mobile seven regiments
of infantry Since the civil war no
such proportion of the army has been
mobilized and the movement itself is
the best evidence of the gravity Of the
situation as looked upon by the presi-
dent and his advisers. The determina-
tion to rendezvous the troops in the
SOUTH where taey can be acclimated to
the conditions of q more tropical climate,
has been under consideration by the

that the president, in view of the enor-
nous expense which will be entailed,
felt justified in taking this step. When

net meeting he at once called into con-
ference General Miles and Adjutant
| General Corbin and acquainted them
with the result the cabinets deliber-
ations. There were hurried consulta-
tions, in which the quartermaster gen.

of war has been sounded by the Amer
lean congress-. AT 10 o'clock this

branches of congress and II minutes
afterward had adopted it. There was
a fight to the last minute, however, the
advocates Of recognition Of the inde-
pendence of the island standing to-
gether until they were fairly knocked
down by vote of AZ to 35. The minor
ity vote was cast by those who wanted
radical action and insisted that the
resolution should carry with it recog-
nition Of the independence OF the Cuban
republic.
The adoption of the conference report
brought to close one Of the most inter
esting and tumultuous sessions OF the
senate held in years. Such scenes OF
confusion and excitement have rarely
been witnessed in the ordinarily staid
and dignified body as characterized its
proceedings from noon yesterday until
nearly o'clock in the morning.
Those who were fighting for recogni-
ton Of the island republic early decided
that the senate should not take the in
itiative in requesting a conference be-
TIVE II the two houses. They further
resolved that when the senate con-
ferees were finally appointed at least
two of them should represent the ma
jority sentiment Of the body. The

NEW YORK, April l9.-Bishop Potter
presented set of resolutions against
war at the meeting Of the Central La
