for third reading. Jn spcaldng in favor of
the resolution , Mr. Gale said that the whole
history of tbo Union Pacilic railroad Is a rec
ord of fraud and rascality. The managers
hnvo diverted the money which should have
been used to liquidate the claims of the gov
ernment into their own pockets , and used the
funds to build branch lines , and unless the
government took Immediate action they
would lese the entire sum advanced to the
company , which amounted to over $00,000.000.

"Mr. Speaker 1 buliuvo that in justice to

Mr. Cockrell thereupon resumed the iloor
In order to continue hi * argument against the

Mr. Hoar , who added a few words to what ho
bald last evening.
Mr. ( Jockrell resumed his argument against
the closure rule , saying In the course of his
remarks that the democratic senators would
bo as brief as possible in discussing matters
of public necessity , but if the republican sen
ators Insisted on the elections bill , a merely
partisan measure , not endorsed by half tnclr
own party , the democratic senators would
discuss it In all Its ramifications ,
Mr. Teller asked Mr. Aldrioh how long ho
proposed to allow for debate on the resolu
tion , remarking Unit some arbitrary means
wcro to bo reverted to for consideration ,
Mr. Aldrich said ho took it for cranted
thnt there would bo no closing of debate ex

had resorted to tUat proper and orderly
method rather thnn dupeact upon the ipso

Mr. Cockroll thnn closed his argument. It
was useless , ho said , to try to dUguiso the
purpose of the rule. The only object was to
pass tlio force hill. Everything else was mudo
subordinate to the whims of tUo scnalor from

Two Decisions Whtuli Materially Help
tiu ! County nl'Cook.
CHICAGO , Jan. 23. [ Special Tclogrnm to
Tin ; Btn. : ] A decision , just rendered by the
state supreme court , means , according to the
opinion of the city's legal advisers , a saving
to Chicago of millions ot dollars in the future
and less hesitancy about embarking in cer
tain classes of much-needed
- public improve
ments. Some time ago , when the Jackson
street viaduct across the railroad tracks was
built , Warren Springer brought suit for
! 00,000 damaged , alleged to have been done
to his nroporty on Canal street. The case has
been finally sottlcd by the supreme court nf
llnniug the decision of the lower tri-
ounnls. This wus , in effect , that
whllo the city may bo liable for
divmugcs believed by iho owner to have
been inflicted , it is also eatltlou to credit for
any benefits derived by the property from
he improvements. The Jury was allowed
to carefully inspect the property nnd decide
on the relative amount of damages and bene
fits. The city authorities feel greatly elated
over , ho decision. It- has heretofore been a
serious consideration , when improvements
of this nature were projected , us to what
amount of money It was likely to cost the
city in icgal tights with property owners
who in .reality suffered very little'damages.
The county of Cook is also iO,000 richer by
reason of another decision of the supreme
premo court. Tno legislature of 18S7
passed a bill increasing the salaries
of all the elective clerks m the
county ofllccs by $0,000 each pel' annum.
The clerks then in ofhro immediately began
drawing the Increased salary , but after some
tlmo were ordered to disgorge , the county
holding that the net dirt not apply to those
ofllcials in oflli-o at the tlmo of its passngo ,
but was meant to begin with the succeeding
term. The clerks refused , however , to uivo
up the money and suit was brought. The
superior court sustains the contention of the
county and the clerks must iiovor into tbo
treasury an aggregate of $30,000. *

Jan. 23. [ Special Cablegram to
Tim BED. ] In the house of commons this
evening Rt. Hon. Henry Matthews , home
secretary , in reply to a question , denied that
there was any difference In practice between
the inquest held on the body of the late duke
of Bedford and that which Is held on the
body of an ordinary person. The examina
tion in regard to the death of the duke of
Bedford , ho declared , was hold with open
doors. If the press docs not know of this it
was not the fault of the coroner. No attempt
bad been made to suppress a public inquiry.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach , president of tlio
board ot trade , stated that the board of trade
could not interfere with the railroad strike
in Scotland , although the troubles hatl re
sulted la thopartial suspension of trafllc.
Mr. Francis Alison Ctianning ( an advanced
liberal ) made a motion to the effect that the
excessive hours of labor of railway servants
was a grave Injustice to the men nnd a con
stant source of danger to the public , nnd that
the board of trade should Ira empowered to
direct the limitation of the working bours.
Mr. Ilonrv Hoyle Howeth ( conservative )
suggested tlio appointment of n royal com
mission to Inquire Into the matter of working
hours and other labor questions.
Sir Hlohard EverardVobstor. . attorney
general , replied to Mr , Howeth's inquiry as
to a parliamentary candidate promising to
employ unionists when ho had been em-
'
Ployin'jz non-unionists. The attorney gen
eral said tliat if such promise was inndo in
order to influence voters it was certainly a
breach of the corrupt practices act. The
reply was creeled with conservative cheers.
Sir Mlcheal Hicks-Beach advised Mr.
dimming to withdraw nls motion.
Sir William Voraon Hnrcourt then said
thnt the government had practically ad
mitted that men employed on railways were
over-worked.
Mr. Channlng's motion was rejected bv a
vote of HI to 12 J.
Sir Michael Hlck.s-Tleach , when ndvlitng
Mr. Clmnnlng to withdraw his motion , said
ho admitted that some interference was
necossiirv , but that it was impossible to place
tlio board of trade in the position which ho
proposed. Sir Michael suggested a substi
tute motion declaring that overwork on rail-
roids was n source of danger to the public ,
nnd ho said ho would appoint a select coin-
mltteo to inquire into the possibility of leuis-
lutlvo action boinp taken to restrict the hours
of labor on railroads.

tlio energy mid growth ot the west have their
oftcctlii n larger trad'o and stronger confi
dence In eastern commercial centers. In the
report of thli week a modest but steady In
crease In tbo volinno of business compared
with liiat year is the most ttriklng feature.
At Chicago 11 heavy Increase In all praln re
ceipts and hi cured < meats mul hldoa Is
noted , with some decrease In lard
and dressed- beef , but In dry foods
md clothing trade Is much larger thiui n
year ago mid somewhat larger in boots and
shoes , The trnilo Is healthy mul no fc.irs arc
observed. At Cincinnati the clothing and
shoo trades nro particularly active. At St ,
Louis trade is strong In n early all linos. At
Kansas Clty ! the inlluro of a bank has
scarcely nny cfTect on business. Hcceipts of
cattle nro 20,000 and hops 81,000 , and banks
are taking euro of their customers. At Min
neapolis the lumber donmnd is unusually
( jood und the flour output I''O.OOO barrels , and
lit St. 1'uul trade exceeds expectations , At
Omaha traJo Is ( iiilet , money is close
and collection * backward , and at
Milwaukee unseasonable weather checks
business though money is easy and collec
tions very fair. Cleveland reports money a
little closer and collections slow but a fair
trade and confident fcelliiR , while at Detroit
money is easier ut per cent and business
conservative in tono.
Turning to the south wo flnd an improving
business at Now Orleans , fair receipts of
cotton and a strong market for sugar with
ample supplies of money. At Louisville ,
trade opens well and tbo monetary situation
improves. At Jacksonville u Rood trade is
noted and at lUltlmoro , manufacturers and
jobbers are well ahead of lust year und there
is a largo Increase in the shoe , leather and hide
business. In consequence eastern ecu tun show
more activity. I'lttsbnrg-shows somewhat
more activity in Iron , though glass is rather
dull and some factories are temporarily
closed , Tbo iron trade is stiffened by the
larcodecroiisfe In production. The demand
for bar does not improve , however. Orders
for plates nro somewhat scarce and trade In
structural iron Is only about fair , but in
pipes , excellent. Tlioconl trade Is compara
tively quiet. Copper and tin are steady und
lead a little weaker. The market for broad-
stutls hns boon stronger and -wheat has ad
vanced fcfc , corn Ic and oats J-fc , whllo pork
and lard are a shade lower.
Coffea Is 15 cents per 100 pounds lower
than -week ago , on small dealings , and oil

us the Wood river production carryover
the -10 ror cent of load the highest rtitos
will apply.
The news creates much dissatisfac
tion , and tlio procedure will practically
wipe out the mining industry of Wood
rlvor and discourage the investment Jof
capital. A ooiTo.spondont says it is a
woll-establishcd fact Hint Wood river
ores huvo hardly been able lostuml the
nitos in foroo the last two years , which
were only scoured after a laborious tussles -
slos with the rnllroiiils. Now the rates
are raised nearly 40 per cent. The ro-
.suit will bo most disastrous. The boards

boon shipping by the Union Pacilic were
'
also advised of'tlio increase in time to
propiiro for it. The formur rate was $14
par ton. It strikes the cnmp pretty
hard these times wlion load is low and
silver bogging for purchasers. Next
Buiumor we expect the Montana smelters
to niiike n bid for our load ores , when a
short haul may produce lower freight
rates. "
The raising of ere rates between the
Wood rlvor country and Colorado and
river points , and the lowering'of the
rates between the Wood river country
and Salt Lake , has already bogim to
have its effect in turning ores toward
this city that would otherwise have
Keno to Denver or Omaha , says 'tho
Tribune. Mr. llanauor was meditating
yesterday in the Union I'aciiio olllco
over a shipment 6f his from Idaho , and
finally concluded to bring it here in

look as though the Union Pacific was
tryingto hip out this p.irt of the wo rid.
A Story of General Spinner.

down tlio barrier which prevented wo
men performing clerical work for the
government , says the Boston Herald.
Tills occurred during the war , whoa tlio
regular clerks were disappearing to on-
lis > t in the army , and it looked as if there
were not going to be men enough to go
around. Then it was that the ehival-
rie General Spinner suggested to Presi
dent Lincoln that an opportunity bo
given the women to. take the men's
places whore possible , It is aston
ishing when we look at it to think of the
opposition this idea mot with. But
Spinner gained his point , and the eatro )
of women into the government service
may bo looked upon as a "war measure"
just ns Bea Uutlor's suggestion was to
inako'tho "darkies contraband. "
Ills language was forcible ami plain ,
and ho did not hesitate at expletives
whenever they were called for , Ono day
a newspaper friend called upon him ib

health , and began to o.xpatlato upon her
personal worth and her valuable-ser
vices to the department. This wasmoro

"Ana you won't turn her out ? " asked

When St. Patrick drove the reptiles

wlio.so hair had the color of the sea anil
who were around her neck a yrocn ser
pent. This serpent was the only ono
not amenable to St. Patrick's authority ,
and for that reason the green haired
girl of Ireland is above her sisters and
fntcd ( or all that Is good and beautiful
in this life.
Ono of the first men in the barfrp oflloo
to notice Miss Maud's hair was Fitzslm-
mons , the ngonlof Ibo Irish Immigrant
society , and when ho saw it without
further hesitation ho doffed his hat and
became anxious to do her bidding. .As
the arrival of the green haired girl bo-
caino noised uround , quite a
crowd authored to see her pass

As she passed along the hum of ad

the green hair and bo successful in life.
The girl is going to her cousin , Jainoti

in her little circle create as great a sen
