The railroads are annoyed. Certain troublesome measures have been matched to harass the arter- ies of commerce and the lob bies recently have had some i'm portant railway annexations. Colonel Epes Randolph, who had more or less to do with Arizona politics when sta toned at Tucson by the Southern Pa cific, has arrived on the scene of the disturbances to shake hands with a multitude of friends. Mir Randolph has not announced whether he has any interest in the proceedings of the leg lature, but it is said that the Southern Pacific has induced him to take hand in the protection of it's interests. There are other railroad men here, too. and all of them have been found quite will ing to furnish information upon the intricate system under which railroads are operated. Shortly after the assem- tly passed the eight-hour bill the other day, the Parr bill, which has to deal with a similar question applying to railroads, met an ignOminious defeat.
 It was said to be impracticable on ac- count of division arrangements to lim- it the hours of labor proportioned to railroad employees. MT Webb, from Graham county, in opposition to the bill said that he had inquired of the advocates of the bill what useful pur- pose it would serve the railroad em- ployees. The most satisfactory reply he had obtained was that if it would do no good it would do no harm. He was a firm believer in the theory that everything is calculated to do either good or harm and although a friend of the laboring men, he did not care to place unnecessary burdens on the statute books. He recognized the i'm portant service the railroads had per formed in the development of this ter ritory and deprecated any legislation directed against the railroads which rested merely on an inherent antipahty to corporations. He believed that the railroad companies made the burdens of their employees as light as possible. The friends of the bill say that it is not dead, but was defeated through misapprehension, and will be revived in few days.

Phoenix newspapers have manifest ed great timidity in commenting upon the incubations of the lawmakers. The Arizona Democrat, edited by John Dun bar, and published at the instance of J. F. Wilson, confines itself mostly to extolling the Democratic personnel of the legislature and announcing au- thoratively that the Democrats will make good every pledge in their plat form. This will make necessary the passage of the Cowan bill which will be a perfunctory bit of legislation in view of the written opinion of Col. Wilson which finds in substance that the Cowan bill has no legal right to existence.
 The Arizona Gazette is holding its breath for certain eruptions which are billed to take place later in the session. The Phoenix Enterprise abstains from comment on the ground that little has been done in the way of routine legis- lation which affords much opportunity for comment The Arizona Republican shares the fehcitude of the low five in the council-that combination which boasts that it is putting the Democrats in a hole. The Republican has a great deal to say about the presence of Col. Wilson at the capitol and the summary of it's views is found in this charac- teristic editorial.
 There is said to be a growing dis position in the legislative halls to re- sent the understanding held in certain quarters that J. F. Wilson carries the legislature in his vest pocket"
 In the next breath it has a long edf- torial of praise for Marcus A. Smith, who is credited as a delegate lifted above all personal considerations and dealing with the problems which con front Arizona in congress with rare solicitude for the welfare of his con s.ituents. The Republican calls atten- tion to the fact that had MT. Smith been guided by selfish ambitions he might very easily have provided for h.s own political future in advocating the Arizona-New Mexico merger. Mir. Smith" says the Republican, under stands the situation unquestiOnably, and it is to his credit that he has re- fused to build fences for himself at the eArense of his constituents"

There has been a fearful falling of in the receipts of the secretary of the territory, amounting to a financial landslide. This was brought about by a reduction in the estimated revenues of the office, which have ranged from S3O. 900 to $6O,000 year. to an incon- sequential sum of less than s10,000. Isaac Taft Stoddard, secretary of Ari- zona, has sent a report to the governor of Arizona which includes his state ment of the receipts and expenditure in his office during his incumbency of eighteen months. Mir StOddard says that in eighteen months the office has received fees amounting to s15,000,

The officers Of the Burlington road have

reason assigned for the order.
Superintendent Barrett, of the Chicago &
Alton Railroad, says the trouble between
the company and its firemen has been set

men were given an increase OF wages and
concessions as to hours and conditions

George j. Gould sent the following tele-
gram: Il hope to come to Baltimore

Plans covering the arrangement of tracks
in the Pennsylvania Railroad New York
tunnel terminal and also for the handling
of passengers and baggage in the great
station have been fully worked out. The
main station will be between Seventh and
Eighth avenues, where there Will be
twenty-five tracks, arranged in pairs with
passenger platforms between each pair
long enough to take fifteen cars. West to
Ninth avenue the tracks will be extended
for storage uses. East of the terminal the
tracks will converge into four, each of
which will run under the East river in a
separate tube. Under the Hudson river
the plans call for two tunnels. At the sta
tion the tracks will be forty-two feet below
the street level, but this depth is to be
made seem less by placing the passenger
waiting rooms and ticket offices on a floor
just half way down. Baggage and mail
matter will be handled at about Eighth

.UNIONISTS BLAMED AGAIN
OPERATORS SAY THEY ARE NOT
MINING SUFFICIENT COAL.
thracite than They Did Before
the Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24-The anthra-
cite coal strike commission to-day ended
the examination of witnesses called by the
independent operators of tho upper coal
fields. Beginning Monday, the individual
evidence. Among the latter is G. B. Markle
& Co., in the presentation of whose case
there is considerable interest because of
the attacks made by the striking miners
against that company in their testimony
before the commission at Scranton. After
the individual companies have completed
their case the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron Company, the last of the sigma
tory companies to the original arbitration
plan, will be heard. Then the miners will
consume several days in rebuttal, after
which nearly a week will be taken up by
both sides in arguing the case. So far
more than 1000 pages of testimony have
been taken.
Nine witnesses, representing almost as
many small companies, were heard to-day.
Their evidence was along the same lines as
that already introduced by the large COM
panies. They swore that the union miners
were not mining as much coal as they did
before the organization of the union; that
in some instances where demands had been
granted the men were not permitted to go
to work until all men had been granted
their demands; that no blacklist existed
among the companies; that miners boy
cotted places that were hard to work; that
IL was dlfticult to maintain discipline since
the men had formed an organization and
mat the men were partly responsible for
the curtailment of coal.
Just before the adjournment until Mon
day Attorney Samuel Dickson, of Phila-
deIphia, read to the commission tele-
gram from Il. g. Luther, general superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia &c Reading
Coal and Iron Company, to President Baer,
OF the company, dated Pottsville, to-day:
Thirty-one collieries and six jighouseS
working to-day. North Mahonoy colliery
men went home, refusing to wait until a
frozen water pipe could be changed to en-
able breaker 10 start. Colliery was ready
TO start at 7:30.'
Counsel for the miners followed this up
by reading an article from Scranton
newspaper to the effect that hundreds of
men were idle and ready to go to work,
but the companies would not give them
employment
The session adjourned without the COM
missionerS making any comment on either
the telegram or the newspaper article.
Commissioner Clark left to-day for his
home in Cedar Rapids, Ia, to attend to
business in connection with the national
organization of which he is the head. He
expects to return here Wednesday. Com
missioner Carroll ID. Wright made a trip
to Washington to-day.

1t has been intimated that if the Marion
county representatives do not lend their
support to the Reformatory bill the legisla-

annapolis bills.
Mr.. Morgan's bill providing for an in
crease in the school tax levy for Indianapo-

not to exceed $4,000, the proceeds to be
used for school purposes, has been passed
by both branches of the Legislature. AS
