OFFICIALS PLAN A UNION.
Chicago Municipal Employees Have
an Organization Scheme.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Chicago papers
print story to the effect that
5000 of the employees of the city and
of the United States government loca-
ted in Chicago have hit upon a, plan
which will give them all the advantage
of belonging to a labor union without
in fact becoming members of such an
organization. The story in effect is
that 10000 acres of land have been ac-
quired in the province of Chihuahua,
Mexico, and are at the present time
held under an option. This land is the
proposed property of the corporation
which is to be formed. OF this corpora
ton. which is ostensibly to be a land
holding organization, policemen, fire
men and postal employees are to be the
shareholders and all the deliberations
of the body are to be held behind closed
doors. Lest any members shall acquire
undue power and in order that the de-
sire for profit shall not induce the gem
eral public to enter the corporation, one
of the chief rules is declared to be that
no one member shall hold more than
ten shares of stock the par value of
which is one dollar per share. With the
money thus gathered, which may be in
creased by assessment whenever the
directors so decide, legislation is to be
Influenced.
In this city an organization Of the

fight and within the last six weeks

men employed by the city. At present
neither the firemen nor the policemen
in this city are allowed to be members
of a secret organization which carries
with it any other allegiance than that
of the CITY government.

EXPLAINED A zulu"
Col Delaney Enlightened the Chicago
Natives on Railway Slang.

Chicago may be ahead of Wichita in
some respects said Col. L. r. Della
ney of the Santa Fe, while talking to
some friends yesterday, says the Wich-
tia Eagle, but it took this Office to
tell those at that place what a Zulu
is. 1t happened some time ago. I will
first explain the meaning of the ex-
preston, providing there are some here
who do not know, although every rail-
road man in the country is supposed to
know the meaning of Zulu 1t origi-
mated by the employees of the freight
offices many years ago and is used in
place of a long sentence. There are
many emigration outfits sent to all
parts of the country from the east
which consist of many things. There
are usually four or five children, house
hold goods, maybe a horse or two, and
several dogs. This kind of an outfit
usually charters a freight car. When
the employees had occasion to telegraph
in connection with the transportation
of a car of this kind they found it
very inconvenient to write it all out.
so the one word Zulu was substituted
The Chicago offices ran up against the
word and the clerks didn't know what
it meant. l guess about every one in
the employ of the company at that
place was questioned. None could ex-
plain the meaning. 1t was finally de-
cided to make inquiry of the offices
here and we sent them an explanation

BATrLEsRIPs IN CONFLICT.
Seven Big Engines Tried to Push Five
Others OFF the Track.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 12-For the
past three days there has been a local
war on bet0 cen the Kansas City South
ern and the Missouri Pacific railway
company, in regard to a crossing which
the former company has just COM
pleted at Lyons avenue, in Kansas City,
Kas. Last Saturday night Judge Holt,
of the common pleas court, was called
cut of bed lust before midnight to is
sue restraining order against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, and Sheriff MendenhaIl
was sent to the scene to restore peace.
When the sheriff arrived at the scene
of the trouble he found a Missouri Pa
citic crew with seven engines trying to
block the way of a Kansas City South
ern construction train, while the latter
company had five engines employed in
opposition to those of the other COM
pany pushing in the opposite direction
with all their might. Seeing that their
f1Ve engines were too weak for the
seven employed by the other company,
the Kansas City Southern crew had de-
rallied the rear construction car and
thus rendered it impossible for the train
TO be pushed farther backward.
SheFlH Mendenhall said the sight was
the most amusing thing he had seen
Tor several years. He said he could not
help admiring the men who deraiIed
their own car to prevent their train
from losing ground. The Kansas CITY

Work to Cost 100000 Is COM

Salina, Kan, Jan. 12.-The informa-
ton has been given out that the Off
Gals of the Missouri Pacific have de-
cided to make extended improvements
west of Salina this year. One hundred
miles of track will be rebuilt with IS
pound rails in place of So pound rails.
The cost of these rails for the 100 miles
will be $413, 900. the. ties $l18,0 900 and
the work about $4,000. The expense
necessary for the bridge and building
department outside of the items men,
toned will bring the cost of the extern
sion up to fully $1,000. 900. The above
work is considered absolutely neces-
sary, but it is thought that even more
than this will be undertaken the COM
ing year and that practically the Whole
400 miles of track from Hoisington,
Kansas, to Pueblo will be rebuilt the
coming year.

HOUSTON MANS BIG JOB.
Will Be General Counsel for All of

Houston. Tex, JAM 12-Official an
nouncement was male from New York of
the appointment of R S. Lovett of this
city as counsel of the Southern Pacific
company and the Union Pacific Railroad
company.
Announcement was also made by Mr..
Lovett of his acceptance of the rendered
position. The information to this city
came in the form of a dispatch from Mr..
Lovett received at the offices of Baker,
Bolts, Baker & LOvett.
The position which Mr.. LOvett has been
solicited to accept is probably the most
responsible we'll as the most lucrative
a son of Texas has ever been urged to
fill, and yet to those who have become
most intimately acquainted with Mr..
Lovett through business association and
private life the announ cement of the APP
pointment does not come as a surprise.
Several weeks ago Charles H. Tweed,
counsel for the Southern Pacific COM
pany. rendered his resignation. At the
recent meeting of the board of directors
of the Union PACIFIC Railroad company
held at New York, Winslow S. Pierce, the
then counsel of the company. did not
stand for reelection. And while these
two men are recognized giants in the le-
gal profession throughout the United
States, r. S. Lovett of Houston, Tex, has
been selected by Mr.. Hartman to per
form the services formerly falling to the
lot of two men.

from citizens of Boston to the effect
that while these pictures and works of

they were unable to see them. The de-

like a man is in itself strong evidence
to my mind that he is not made of
material that goes to make up soldiers
such as we need for our major generals
and chief of staff.
This talk about the difficulty of his
coming here is silly. 1t is simply evad-
ing the question. The truth is, a brave
and coura geouS man would rather re-
sign a dozen commissions as brigadier
general than allow his character to be
smirched or his conduct assailed, his
motives impugned, and his integrity
and veracity sought to be inpeached,
if by giving up the same, he could
come in person and disprove the ac-
cusations made against him"
Senator Scott comments on the evil
dence introduced tending to reflect d.
rectly upon General Woods character
as a man by impeaching his integrity
and veracity and then after summing
I'D other charges, says:
ITO my mind a most grievous fnJus-
tice has been done in the preferment
of General Wood over a hundred or
more old army officers-officers who

fields-battlefields where more lives
