6 SURE TO SQUELCH IT. The House Proposes to Make Mincemeat of the Silver Bill. Free Coinage Is Not on the Programme of This Ad ministration. Senator Moody Wants His Theories Concerning Irri gation Tested. Congress Likely to Enact an Inspection on the Hoof Law. Washington, June 24.— 1n the house to-day, after the reading of the journal, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, called atten tion to the fact that it showed the legis lative appropriation bill as amended by the senate had been referred to the committee on appropriations without notice to the house. He said that if anything had been decided in the case of the silver bill it was that the refer ence should be made in open house.and that the bill should have gone to the committee of the whole. The speaker said that the usual custom had been followed, that the record duly informed the house of the references and therefore declared the journal approved. The report of the committee on appropriations upon the senate amendments to the legislative bill was presented by Mr. Butterworth. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, from the com mittee on rules, reported the tollowiug resolution: Resolved, That immediately after the pass age of this resolution the house proceed to consider house bill 5381 (the silver bill) with senate umendmeuts and at 2 o'clock Wednes day. June '25 (to-morrow), the previous ques tion be considered as ordered. He demanded the previous question on the adoption of the resolution, which was ordered, and tweuty minutes' de bate was ordered on either side. Mr. MillikeiKof Maine, asked whether an amendment was in order, and was informed that it was not. Mr. Mc- Millin, of Tennessee, criticised the action of the committee on rules. He recited the action of that committee when the silver bill was first consid ered, in cutting off the right of amend ment and debate, and said that this was another appropriation of the same kind— an ironclad rule to bind the house and prevent it from expressing Its views. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, wanted to concur in the senate amend ments. Mr. Blount. of Georgia, de preciated the practice of controlling legislation exercised by the committee on rules. Before the speaker was speaker, he had always been in favor of b full and fair debate, but now he round it easier to do without it. He feared that under the rule the t coinage com mittee would come in with a Out and Dried Programme which would prevent the house from voting upon free coinage. Mr. McKinley said that the purpose of the resolution was to secure definite and speedy action upon the subject of silver, and he was surprised at the opposition from the other side. The Republicans had brought the bill back almost at once. They invited the house to concur or non concur in the senate amendments. It was results the Republican side was after, and politics the Democrats were after. Mr. Springer said that the Re publicans had had their ears to the ground and had just had an awakening, and at last, somewhat tardily, it was true, the Republican leaders had been obliged to come over to the Democratic position. On motion of Mr. McKinley the special rule was adopted without division. Mr. Conger, of lowa, chair man of the coinage commlttee.presented the report of that committee. It simply recommended that the house non-concur in each and all of the senate amend ments to the silver bill, and request a conference on the same. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, moved that the house concur in the senate amendments. With these motions pending the debate began, Mr. Conger taking the Initiative. The de bate lasted until 5:40 p. m., when the house adjourned. TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS. Senator Moody's Scheme for In vestigating Irrigation. Washington. D. C, June 14.—Sen ator Moody to-day reported from the se lect committee on irrigation and recla mation of arid lands, an amendment to the sundry civil bill making an appro priation of $200,000 to investigate the arid region of the United States for the purpose of discovering to what extent it can be redeemed .by irrigation.

Washington, June 24.— The senate committee on agricultureland forestry to-day instructed Chairman Paddock to report favorably (with amendments) the substitute proposed by him for Senator Vest's bill to provide for the inspection of cattle and beef products intended for export. The substitute provides for an inspection at the place of killing of cat tle and hogs, the carcasses of which are the subjects of interstate! commerce, previous to their slaughter, in all cases when the secretary of agriculture deems it necessary. A post mortem examina tion of carcasses intended to be further prepared for consumption at canning es tablishments or elsewhere may also be ordered by the secretary of agriculture. In case of the discovery of any diseased animal or carcass it shall be destroyed; also the product of such carcass found to be unfit for human consumption.

Washington, June 24.— At a meet ing of the house committee on the judi ciary to-day it was decided to report a substitute for the senate original pack age bill. The substitute is as follows: "That whenever any article of com merce is imported into any state from any other state, territory or foreign na tion, and there held or offered for sale, the same shall then be subject to the law 6 of such state: Provided that no discrimination shall be made by auy state iv favor of its citizens against those of other states in respect to the sale of any article of commerce, nor in favor of its own products against those of like character produced in other states, nor shall the transportation of commerce through any state be ob structed except iv the necessary en forcement of the health laws of such state." Representative Reed, of lowa, will prepare the report ou the bill. Rep resentative Adams, of Illinois, was the only member of the comtnittee who voted against the resolution. He will probably prepare a minority report. The substitute applies to all articles of commerce, whi^e the senate bill was iv tended to apply only to fermentedssd tilled and other intoxicating liquor, Solace for Sick Soldiers.

Chicago, June 24.— The Illinois Cen-: tral strike assumed serious proportions this morning, inasmuch as it now in volves the immense suburban traffic of the road. A meeting of the strikers was held early this morning, at which . the men decided to stop the runn ing of all trains except those carrying the United States mail. Accordingly, as fast as the suburban trains came in this morning they were sidetracked, and it*was not long before the tracks were completely blocked up, suburban trains, freight trains and through and way passenger trains being mixed in al most inextricable confusion. The last suburban train arrived at the depot at 8:30 a. m., and the men announced that it would be the last suburban train to come in or go out until ihe question as to Supt. Russell's retention was de cided one way or the other. At present the strike affects the road only from Chicago to Kankakee, but the men say that uuless they gain their point they will tie up the entire system— Chicago to New Orleans. The strikers aid not wish to be held responsible for inter fering with the United States mails, the express companies and bonded matter. They, therefore, attached the mail and express cars to the engine of the New Orleans mail train, but left the coaches with their Exasperated Passengers unconnected. It was the intention to send the dismembered train down the scheduled time, but Mr. Sullivan, the general superintendent of the road, ex plained that the railroad company has no contract with the United States gov ernmeut to carry mails except on regu lar passenger trains, and the train dis patcher was not authorized to give orders for the train to start until it could start with all its usual pas senger coaches. The strikers refused to allow the whole train to move,' and warned Mr. Sullivan, as they had not prevented the transportation of the mail and express matter, that the rail road detained it, at the company's own risk. General Manager Beck, General Superintendent Sullivan and the heads of the traffic departments had a con ference to-day with representatives of the strikers in General Manager Beck's ofhce. The men demanded that Super intendent Russell's name be stricken from the card, and stated their de termination not to return to work un til this was done. They said there was no room for compromise on the subject. Not one of them would go to work again under him or consent to receive another order from him. General Manager Beck was ordered to support Russell, but the situation was ad mitted by the official and his subordinates to be very serious. The officials ended their conference at 1 :30 p. m. for the day. The only oonclusion arrived at was that they would resist the men's demand for Russell's dis charge. They now await overtures on the part of their employes who are out, and. it is said, that, unless the men re turn to work to-morrow morning the company will proceed to hire new men. The tie-up will cause serious trouble not only locally, but throughout a large section of country, both West and South. The suburban traffic .of the road is enormous. The trains run in and out of the crty every few minutes from 5 o'clock in the morning until mid night, and are usually crowded. All these people are now thrown Upon Their Own Resources of transportation. But it is not this that will trouble the commercial world. To stop freight traffic on the Illinois Cen tral means to prevent thousands and thousands of people in Northern lowa, in Southern Illinois, in Keutucky, Ten nessee, Mississippi and Louisiana from getting products to market. The yards in this city are already filled with freight cars, and the stalling of the trains now in. transit will jam every transfer track touched by the road. The Michigan Central, Baltimore & Ohio, and Big Four roads, which enter the city over the Illinois Central track, were seriously interfered with, owing to the blockade created by the motionless trains of the Illinois Central.

There were no further engage ments of gold for export to-day, and that element has quickly, dropped out of the possibilities in the course of prices. The railroad situation also offers nothing but waiting, and the transactions at the board are now con fined from day to day to the operations of the professionals and the room trad ers almost entirely. The regular list outside of a few stocks which are af fected by special causes are traded in over an extremely narrow range, and the fluctuations seem to possess little or no significance. To-day the assur ance from Chicago that a dividend would pc paid on the Chicago Gas stock, and the feeling that as long as dividends are permitted, the trust is just as good in the hands of a receiver as not, stimulated a bullish feeling upon the stock and more animation was shown in the advancing figures. Mexican Cen tral and New England made sharp spurts of short duration, but scored ma terial gains, while Atchison and Missouri Pacific, on the rumors of , negotiations between them, were more active and firm without marked change in quota tions. The great feature of the day, however, was Sugar Henneries, and it was up and down aaraiu several times during the day over a comparatively narrow range for that stock, aud consid erable surprise was shown that it did not slump off sharply on the announce ment of the decision against the trust by the court of appeals. There was, however, a blunder n the transmission of the first reports, and the sharp rally from the , first depression was due to the misap prehension as to the exact nature of the decision, but when the ; fact became fully known there was no sluniD and : the stock closed unchanged from last night's price. The clique In control of the manipulation, however, ia able to put it wherever and whenever it pleases. The sentiment in the board during the day was strongly bullish, and Chicago houses were buyers all day long, and while the upward movement - wa.9 checked by the muddle over the sugar trust decision, a firm tone was main tained throughout, and the close was firm though dull at small fractional gains in most of the list. There were no declines of moment, although the big four was weak during the afternoon and Chicago gas is up m aud New En gland I per cent. Railroad bonds ; were dull and without feature of any kind. The usual v firm tone was shown, but. the final changes in quotations are extremely few In num ber and are generally entirely without significance. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected: The Post says : "Miss6url Pacific . was • active in connection with some ambiguous ex pressions by Mr. Jay Gould to the effect that * some - sort of alliance with the Atchison was being negotiated. The Missouri Pacific, like other Western roads, undoubtedly feels the necessity of some such alliance as that of : the Union Pacific and Northwestern to give it a share in the increasing business of the central part of the continent, but the Atchison is more nearly independent in this respect - than any . other - roads terminating at Chicago^, as iit already has Its own continental line. A com bination of some sort, with the Missouri Pacific would be the means of keeping peace in its special ; territory .* in tne Southwest, and, on the other band, if the Missouri Pacific could in some way be transferred into the management of the Atchison it would greatly benefit the Missouri Pacific, of '-. which the se curities do not at present appear to at tract the public, as shown ■ by . the ; fact that the rights to subscribe tor the new Missouri , Pacific 5 per cent v loan of $7,000,000, with a bonus of -one share of new 6tock for every $1,000 of bonds, did not command any premium.
