AUDITOR HILLS.
He Has More Jobs Than Anybody
On Earth.

On Earth.
General Auditor Hills of the Oregon
Short Line is a man who is in deep trou-
BILE. He has more positions than any per-
son in the known world. that he knows
nothing of. He is doubtless assistant
general auditor for lines of railroad which
ne never heard of.
A day or TWO ago he received a letter
from Alex Millar, secretary of the Union
Pacific. asking him if he would please re,
auditor of that line. Mr. Hills wired back
that if he was assistant general auditor,
his resignation might be considered as
filed.
For some time past Mr.. Hills has been
resigning positions. He got telegram
asking if he would please resign the po-
sition of assistant general auditor OF the
Omaha. & Republican Valley line
lie promptly replied that nothing would
give him more pleasure. Then came a
message saying that the directors would
be pleased if he would resign as assistant
general auditor of the Salina & South
western. He wired that
Another telegram followed this one. re-
questing that he ask to be relieyed as
assistant general auditor of the Echo x
Park City line. He wired that.
Then the directors wanted to know II
he would just as soon send IN his resigna-
ton as assistant general auditor of the
Central Branch and the accommodating
Hills again sent in an affirmative answer
He is now looking for request that he
resign as assistant general auolLor OF
the Cheyenne q Northern, the Kansas
Pacific. the Julesourg branch. the St
Paul & Grand Island. the Evanston *
Amy. the Rock Springs & Northwesteriy
the Get Up & Get There and few more
roads.
Hils has been thinking of getting a
form printed. which will read something
like the following:
General Manager. r. X.
/ hereby resign the position of assistant
general auditor of your road. and any
other positions which | may hold in con-
nection Herewith. Yours truly,
E. II. HILLS.
He thinks by this means he could save
time, and besides. when not in the office
the chief clerk could sign his name, and
business would not be so hampered.

UNREST OF TRADES UN|ONISTS
THREE BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY
ON STRIKE.
Printers In San Francisco, Carpen-
tiers In Chicago and Cotton Opera
tives In Connecticut-Labor News.

San Francisco, April Am accord
ance with a resolution passed some
time ago by the International Union,
the book and job printers of this city
went on strike today. The bone of
contention lis nine-hour work day
instead of a ten-hour day. The Inter
national Union voted for nine-hour
day and the various cities were given
their own time to enforce the rule. San
Francisco chose April 4 as the time
for enforcing the demand. The local
offices were given notice that unless
they granted the concession the union
men would cease work today. Some
of the printing firms acceded to the
demand and some refused. A strike
was then ordered in all the offices
which refused and is confined TO them.
Consequently the trouble is not as yet
of very large proportions.
The typographical union of San
Francisco has a membership of 700.
OF these 400 are working today. Be
fore the strike there were $50 men
either out of employment or for other
reasons not working. The remainder
of those not working are pressmen
and members of the allied trades.

Union Pacific. II was proposed that the
Northern Pacific should guarantee lease
Jointly with the Union Pacific, but in
junction was granted against the lease
by the courts in oregon. After the ap-
pointment of receivers of Union Pacific
and default in payment of guarantee divi-

and in June, 1894, a separate receiver

MIR. Bailey then said that he did not
desire 10 oppose the bill. His purpose
had been to see if someone on the

existed.

Mr.. Cannon said there was a time

SPAIN AND UNITED STATES.

In the house of commons today
Michael Davitt, member for South
Mayne. asked if the report concerning
the selection of the pope as mediator
in the Cuban difficulty was true. Mr..
BalfOur, the government leader, said
the government had received a report
of the subject from Madrid. but it did
not bear out the statement on details
In replying to John Morley. who asked
whether the government could furnish
any information in regard to the sit
uatiOn of affairs between Spain and
the United States, Mr. Balfour said:
Il do not know that l can say more
than the question is causing anxiety
at every capital. On both sides of the
Atlantic there is a very strong desire
on the part of the governments con-
cerned to preserve peace, and anything
we can do will be done"
Replying to Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, member for York.
Mr.. Balfour said the question as to
whether the United States, not being
a signatory of the declarations of Paris.
would in the event Of war with Spain
be bound by the provisions of that dec
laration, raises an important point of
international law on which a question
might advantageously be addressed TO
the attorney general.

The spirit of Martin Hayken haunt
ed the meeting of the board of county
commissioners yesterday afternoon.
The apparition followed in the wake
of ex-County Attorney Charles C. Whit
temore, who appeared hefore the board
to urge the resembling of its action of
Sept. Z last, in disallowing the claim
of the civic federation in the sum of
SS,972.91. The claim was based upon
the fact that L. S. Hills. ]. Z. Dolly,
W. 5. Mccormick, P. H. Lannan and
other citizens had been induced by Mr..
Whittemore, when he was county attor
ney, to advance money to him to help
prosecute the ex-county selectmen on
charges of bribery in connection with
the purchase, through Hayken, of the
furniture for the county portion of the
joint building, Notwithstanding that
the same sums named in the fedora
TONS claim were paid by the county
to Swiney, Weary, Davis, Paul, Floess-
Ter. Adams and the other high priced
witnesses, detectives and attorneys en-
ployed by the prosecution-al to no ef-
fectual purpose.
The authority for presenting the
claim was a legislative act of 1897, but
County Attorney Van Colt held that
this law was unconstitutional, and in
consequence, the board rejected the
federation's demand.
