Another Extra se.alon Proclamation.

Gov Pingree has issued another proc
lamation on the railroad question.
This time it is addressed to the prose-
cutting attorneys and justices of the
peace in the state particularly, as well
as To the public in general, and de-
clares war on the givcrs and users of
free railroad passes. The governor
proclaims his intention of seeing to it
that the laws of Michigan relative TO
the granting OF material favors to eX-
ecutive. Legislative, or judicial officers,
with corrupt intent to influence leg
islation or the Interpretation of the
laws. are enforced. He claims that
the railroad companies grant passes on
their line, in this way and that they
and the users of these special privi-
leges are not only guilty of crime,
but thus deprive the school children of
moneys that would otherwise be theirs.
The governor wants the officers of
the state to proceed with prosecutions
in all cases where they can obtain evil
dence. and cites the law to show their
authority.

PopulIsts Could Not Agree.

"A conference between the state com
mittees of the middle-of-the-road and
fusion wings of the Populist party was
held at Lansing, but it did not result
in the anticipated reconciliation, but
rather tended to widen the breach,
much harsh language being indulged
in by the two factions.
The middle-of the readers made n
proposition to organize new commit
tee from both factions and issue call
for state convention to nominate n
straight Populist state ticket indepcnd-
ent of all other silver parties. This
was rejected by the fusionists, who
proposed the appointment of joint
committee to meet with representatives
of the Democratic and silver Repub-
lican parties in Detroit on April ;. for
the purpose of arranging fusion on a
state ticket similar to the one effected
two years ago. This proposition was
also rejected after a long and bitter
wrangle, and then all attempts tocome
to an agreement were given up.
The middle-of-the-road faction, which
the courts have recognized as the regu-
lar Populist committee, promptly is
sued call for a state convention to be
held at Grand Rapids. June 21, and the
program of the leaders is to head off
the Republicans by nominating Pin
gree for governor.
The other faction will participate in
the Detroit conference and arrange IA
fusion.

Zig Item for Carnegie.

Lieutenant stone, representative or the
Carnegie Steel Company, was at the navy
department in conference with the Off
cials respecting the naval work in prog
ress.
The torpedo fotilla at Key West will
soon be re-enforced by two fine boats,
which have been under repairs. The
Winslow sailed this morning from
Charleston for Key West and the Foote
from Norfolk for the same.
The commandant of the Mare island
navy yard reported that the cruiser Mo-
hican had sailed with her cargo of am
munition, which she will tranship at Hon
olulu TO the Baltimore for the Asiatic
squadron. The naval officers who are en-
deavoring TO effect the purchase of ships
abroad have encountered an obstacle that
promises to give some trouble. This is
found in the difference between the cali
bers of the guns mounted on foreign built
ships and the United States navy stand
ards. Not only do these guns differ i'm cali
Der from our own in most cases. but as
they are almost all designed for the use Of
smokeless powder their combustion cham
bers are too small TO use the ordinary
brown powder with which the American
navy is stll supplied

This obstacle is serious. but not insur-
mountable. 1t will require the procure
ment in Europe of large quantity Of um-
muntion in special sizes for these ships,
as Il would require a good deal Of time
for our domestic ammunition makers to
change their plants and make the special
sizes. Commander William H. Emery has
volunteered to command the auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis i'm the event of that ves-
sells impressment into the naval service.
and he will be ordered TO join her be-
fore her departure from New York next
Wednesday. in a capacity similar to that
which caused Commander Brownsop o
