that the railroad shall stop all west
bound trains before crossing Broad

trains before passing the same crossing,
and shall stop all east-bound trains be-
fore passing the trolley tracks at Clifton
avenue.
A city ordinance containing these pro-
visions probably will be passed next

talked of fighting the ordinance. but
have decided not to take such a course.

several meetings since then The idea
and intention Of the men who were the
promoters Of the association was to con-
solidate in order that both orders might
become strong enough to demand an in
crease Of 20 per cent and the abolish

How well the men have succeeded is

to bring about settlement that is sat

During the whole conference nothing
but the best and most friendly rela-
tions have existed between the officials
and the trainmen and conductors
They transacted all of their business
and settled all Of their differences with
a friendly feeling for each other. and
it was probable that this same feeling
that existed between them was one Of
the principal factors in bringing about
such q satisfactory agreement.
According to statistics there has
been no increase in the wages of either
the conductors or the trainmen since
1892 while the work has increased 80
to so per cent. The men on the West
ern railroads who recognized the fact
and believed that the officials recog-
nized it. also felt justified in demand
ing an increase of 20 per cent and the
Establishment Of double-headers. w. w.
Hutton was one Of these men, and it
was through his ardent work and per-
severance, and also that of his associ-
ates. that a satisfactory settlement
came about.

Waggeners resolution to place bust
of John James ingalls, in the rotunda Of
the national capitol at Washington has
been laid over until tomorrow Along
with it went a substitute offered by
Evans of Lyon to substitute Plumb for
ingalls, and it will be a contest between
the friends of ingalls, and Plumb to see
which one shall be honored.
The original resolution reads as fol-
lows:
whereas, In statuary' hall Of the ma
tional capitol, at Washington, is re-
served a niche for the bust OF one or
more of the citizens of Kansas, who
have contributed to the honor and glory
of the state. and.
Whereas. 1t is the desire of all our
people to perpetEate the memory and
fame of John James ingalls,, who at the
birth of the state conceived and gave US
the significant motto, tAd Astra per As

genius and learning; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the house of representa-
tiVes the senate cOncurring, that the
bust of John James ingalls, be placed in

our senators and representatives In con-
gress be requested to take such steps
as may be necessary, to have his bust,
in bronze or marble, placed In one of the
inches, reserved for the state of kan

When the resolution came up this
morning, Representative Stavely said:

should be presented here by a leading
Democrat when it is a well known fact
that the principal accomplishment of
the man whom it is proposed to honor
was to skin Democrats

amendment be laid over a day to allow
