Railroad Senators.

1t seems scarcely reasonable that the
Republican Senate caucus, having
made the pending bill a party meas
ure, will now vote against their own
program of Statehood legislation. Our
Republican contemporary. the New
York Tribune, significantly suggests
that the existence of any desire on the
part Of the railroad interests in the
Territories to double the number of
senators which they might be influen-
tial in choosing would be a positive
reason for keeping down. the regions
representation in Congress" That is
all intimation that the majority in the
United States Senate favors the union
of Arizona and New Mexico not only
because such a State would proba bly,
be Republican State, but because the
two senators it would send to Wash
lngton probably would be railroad sen
ators. Is there sound basis for such a
suspicion? Are railroad senator's un.
known in the various States of the
Union? Has New York ever been rep
resented in the Senate by gentleman

Under the terms of an agreement

tives at a conference held at the State
house today the strikers will return
to work at once under the II IL per
cent. reduction. against which they
struck last July, and with no tliscrimin-
alton because Of the strike.
No Wage Scale.
No rate Of wages was established
but it was agreed that Governor Doug

sion as to an average margin upon
the manufacturers to pay a dividend
OF per cent. on wages earned from
the present time to April !. both sides
regard the outcome of the settlement
as a victory.
The strikers committee expressed
great satisfaction With today's terms
OF settlement, believing that the evil

pay, at least until April, dividend. or
Increase, should the margin reach the
figure which Governor Douglas will fix
