SOCIALISTS WALK OUT.
Majority Left In Undisputed Control
of the italian Chamber.

Rome April "A parliamentary dead
lock was reached in the Italian Chamber
of Deputies, when the entire Socialist
group left the house as a. protest of the
violation of the constitution
The chamber was crowded at the open
ticipated. The vice president, Signor Pal
berti, took the chair and read the minutes
of the last meeting at which Signor Co
lombo was reelected president. Signor
Zanardelli, on behalf of the constitutional
opposition, declared that he considered
the election null and void. Signor Pan
tano made a similar declaration on be-
half of the extreme left, announcing that
they would withdraw, and left the ma
parliamentary institutions"
All the factions cheered Signor Pantano
and also the Socialists, who left the cham
Der crying: Long live the constituent
assembly"
When they had gone the partisans of
Signor Giolitti and Signor Zanardelli fol-
lowed suit with cheers for the constituent
assembly. Several rightists even Joined
them. over $50 deputies thus left the hall
President Palberti then asked Signor Co
lombo to resume the presidency of the
chamber, which he did amid loud applause
from the majority. He thanked his sup
porters for reelection, which he said con-
stituted the finest compensation for the
moments of bitterness through which he
had passed. He then submitted mOdifica-
lions of the rules of the chamber, which
were adopted unanimously, all the opposi-
trist, then moved that the house adjourn
until May IS. The premier, General Pal
loux, accepted the proposal and the cham

TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
Sound Money League Is Preparing
For the Campaign.

New York, April A majority of the
executive committee of the Sound
Money league are in favor of continuing
the league and of taking part in the
national campaign in case the Demo
cratic platform contains a free silver
plank. 1t was the wish of J. Sterling
Morton, formerly secretary of agricul-
ture, and until recently the president of
the league, to close up the organization
and TO have the balance in the treasury,
amounting to something over 100000 de-
voted tC' the continuance of publishing
sound money arguments in a paper, the
Conservative, published by him in Ne
braska. The other members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the league were
not in sympathy with Mr.. Morton, either
with his idea of closing the league or
his disposing of the treasury balance,
and these differences of opinion are, it
is said, responsible for Mr.. MortOn'S
decision to refuse reelection as presi-
dent Of the league. He was succeeded
last week as president by Mr.. COwen,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio.
Aside from Mr.. Morton the members
of the executive committee believe it is
yet too early to give up the machinery
which was created during the active
work of the league. If the Kansas City
convention dominates Mr.. Bryan on the
Chicago platform it will, the committee
argue, be necessary to have an effective
organization to cOunteract the efforts
of the free silver people, in order to
prevent the latter from making decided
progress.
A. Barton Hepburn, a member of the
executive committee of the league, said:
1.-The Sound Money league is not to be
dissolved. The election which is about
to take place involves the election of
twelve United States senators, most of
whom, if not all, are in states which
might be very easily carried by the
Popuhsts or Democrats. Two of these
senators will represent Nebraska, one
West Virginia and one Montana. The
Sound Money! le9p11R have work before
them trying to preserve these states as
far as possible for the sound money
cause. There is a great field for effort
in the south in the states which have
gone so heavily into cotton manufac-
turing. In fact the league may do hard
work in distributing sound money litera-
ture in those states in which the pro-
gress of the manufacturing industries
and the subsistence of the race issue give
an opening through which they may be
caDtured for sound money!

road from Gypsum City through Rox-

what can be done.
A change which will be appreciated
by the travelling public has been made
by the Union Pacific in regard to its
dining cars. Hereafter the dining cars
will be attached to trains daily between
Kansas City and Ellis. Kan. This will
give patrons an opportunity to secure
meals while en- route. The dining cars
have lately been remodeled and are
some of the finest in the railroad ser
vice.
The Santa Fe railway has purchased
the two big springs on E S. Virgins

TO SAVE HAMILTON TREES.
New York Legislature Passes an APP
preparation Bill.

New York, April 4-Both houses of
the legislature have passed a bill pro-
viding for the purchase of a portion of
the Alexander Hamilton estate on st.
Nicholas Heights in this city in order
to preserve the famous Hamilton trees.
George Washington at Mount Vernon
gave to Alexander Hamilton thirteen
tiny sweet gum trees to be planted on
Hamilton's farm on Manhattan island
in memory of the thirteen colonies. The
trees were brought to New York in
Hamilton's carriage when he drove
home from Virginia. They were planted
and grew, but the space given them was
too small and the trees crowded one an
other. Within the past few years most
of the trees have died and those that
survive are not healthy Last yeaI the
land on which they stood at Convent
avenue and 142nd street was sold and
the purchaser announced his intention
of cutting down the trees to make room
for a house. This aroused a protest
which Influenced the legislature The
Grange in which Hamilton died, after
the duel with Burr, has been preserved,
having been purchased by a church. The
building will be removed to the ground
near the trees.

Piece Work System to Be Gen

Mr.. R. P. C. SandersOn Arrang-
ing For Its Extension.
EFFECTIVE SHORTLY.
All New Work viii Be Paid For

Is as Much of a Hobby With Mr..
Barr as Tonnage.

In a short time all new work done at
the Santa Fe general shops in this city
and the division shops along the line Of
road Will be regulated by the piece
work system. Mr.. r. P. c. SandersOn,
the newly appointed assistant superin-
tendent of machinery, is arranging for
an extension of the system over the
shop work of the Santa Fe road proper.
At the present time the piece work
system is in effect only in the car and
blacksmith departments of the general
shops here. 1t was introduced several
months ago, and since the agitation fol-
lowing the introduction died down, moth
ing has been heard OF 1t. Many of the
shopmen here and at other points con-
Guided that the management had de-
cided to make no further extension of
the system.
However, the extension is to be made,
and Santa Fe shopmen generally VIII
soon be paid for all new work by the
is as much of a hobby with Vice Presi-
dent Barr as tonnage, and when he took
Mr.. Sanderson from the Norfolk &
Western and installed him as assistant
superintendent of machinery here, it
was with the particular object of put
ting the piece work system in general
force. For several years all shop work
on the Norfolk & Western, of which
Mr.. Barr is a graduate as we'll as Mr.
Sanderson, has been paid for by the
piece.
If the schedules are satisfactory, Mr..
SandersOn may experience no trouble in
extending his pet system. If the shop
men decide the prices are too low it
will be different.

Many matters of great consequence
will be considered, among which will be
train rules. car service. safety appli-
ances, interlocking and block signals
and standard dimensions for boxcars.

ABSORPTION NOT LIKELY.
Alton Directors Take No Step To-
ward Acquiring Kansas City
Southern.

Chicago, April 4-Stockholders of the
Chicago & Alton held their annual
meeting here and reelected the old
board. Following this the annual meet
ing of the board of directors was held
and the entire operating force was re-
elected. over IS per cent of the stock
was represented and there was a gen
eral discussion Of plans for the ensuing
year.
The annual statement of earnings and
expenses was submitted and approved.
1t viii not be ready for publication for
several days. 1t was expected that
some announcement would be made re-
garding the Kansas City Southern and
its future relations to the Alton. While
this was discussed no decision was
reached Last year when provision was
made for refunding the Atoms bonded
indebtedness there was. a provisional
authorization of $15,000,000 additional
bonds with the requirement of the Gulf
road in view. If there was any decision
reached as to whether the Alton would
absorb this property there was no public
announcement regarding it. It was
rumOred that the relations between the
two loads would not extend beyond a
close traffic agreement, and that the
Alton would simply furnish the north
ern connection for the new Hartman
system.

WEST VERSUS THE EAST.
Pacific Coast Merchant Making a
Fight For Favorable Rates.

San Francisco, Cal, April 4-Charles
A. c. Rulofson, of Baker & Hamilton,
hardware dealers, resumed the witness
stand in the Investigation being con-
Quoted by the interstate commerce
commission regarding the readjust-
ment of rates between Pacific coast
points and the middle west
Rulofson said that in the last five
years freight rates between here and
the east have decreased the selling ter
ritory of his firm. West bound rates
are lower than east bound rates. He
testified that an increase on railways
would shut out the New England manu-
facturer, restricting the purchasing
field to the middle west.
G. w. Sterry, representing the Santa
Fe, brought out by questions that the
effect, so far as the Pacific coast job
Der was concerned, of the lowering of
differentials would be to decrease
prices. while local jobbers would be
able to get all the goods they wanted
from Illinois and the middle west
Rulofson insisted, however, that while
this might be the temporary effect, the
removal of competition would be bad
for the local jObbers
Mr. Rulofson insisted that if Pacific
coast merchants We're not protected
that they would resort to the sea
routes.

Division superintendent Webb of the

The people very highly appreciate the
interest these great railways have Ia
ken in the city. The Missouri Pacific

ed rock for the parks, all brought from
this gift may be rained from the fact
that the new street car company got
one carload of this crushed rock from
the same place and the freight charges
alone We're $40. That would make the
value of the freight rates alone donated
