Mablhaltowh, I a., Sept 23. This
has been a day of 1 remendoua excite
ment here and the prospects are that
the trouble is not half through. The
Chicago, St. Paul A Kansas City rail
road has long and badly needed greater
track facilities through the east side of
the city, but could not obtain the on
sent, either of tbeabutiag propert) own
ers or the city authorities. Realizing
that the only hope of getting the covet
ed tracks laid as by stealing a march
on the unsuspecting parties interested,
the company's roadmaster began with a
force of 100 men to lay a siding or adou
Ue track through east Nevada street
early this morning, knowing ac injuno
tion ccnld not be served Sunday. The
work progressed rapidly and without
Interruption until noon, when three
connestio&s less than 100 feet, was all
the job lacked of completion. At thin
juncture Mayor Ames and a pone ap
peared upon the scene and arrested six
section bosses for violating tho Sunday
lava. The men gave bonds acd after
being released attempted to resums
work, but the mayor and police drew
their revolvers and ordered them to de
salt. The men refused when the ma
yor I jet his temper and. declared he
would blow the brains out of the first
stan who touched another rail. This
topped operations in that vicinity.
Meanwhile the property owners along
the street drove wagons onto the right
of -way thus obstructing work by the
other gangs. The mayor's high handed '
proceeding so incensed the railroad men
that they are determined to finish the
joO at all hazards. Jo the mean ti ate
the mayor has ordered vut a spec!al po
liea fore and has obtaine cent to
call out the militia if neoes y. Both
ides are still on the ground in full force
and one railroad fore man declared they
would finish the track before mooning,
or strew the right of way with dead
bodies. They expect 1 1 resume work at
midnight and the mayor expects to pre
vent it by an injunction or harsher
measures. The entire city is aroused
sad nothing else is talked or thougnt of.

STREET RAILWAY STKIKE.
Chicago, Sept 27. Tho Journal says
that a strike ct the employee of the
West division street railway company
is inevitable, and &e time set for it is
next Monday. It is asserted that there
are several causes leading np to it chief
among which is the agitation by polit
ical lenders, who wish to make political
capital out of the situation, and the an'
tcgonism between the two unions com
prising the force. They say they pro
pose to make an uncompromiaing fight
and will never again employ any of the
strikers, no matter what it costs; that
they will hire new meu and run the cars
if they have to load them down with
policemen as the only passengers.

some length the differences between
the two sea on tho sugar schedule
a id fie duty 0:1 binding tvtiip, thie be
ing the most material points of differ
ence now existing between the two
houses. No conclusion was reached.
At a further conference this afternoon
there was the same result An adjourn
ment was had at half past four o'clock
to 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The
action of the western senators yester
day in entering a protest against the
proposition to place a small duty on
binding twine has complicated matters
seriously.
A well known western senator said
to a reporter of the United press this
afternoon that while the senators who
met yesterday afternoon were not
bound to stand together on this propo
sition, there were enough republican
senators pledged to stand out for free
binding twine to make it certain that
the conference report would be rejected
in the senate if the senate conferees
agreed at any compromise on this dis
puted point. The conferees and other
republicans who are interested in the
fate of the bill have used every possible
argument with the recalcitrant sena
tors, but thus far apparently without
effect.
The conferees now say that it is al
most impossible to come to an agree
merit unless a comptomise is made on
binding twine, and that If the confer
ence report should be adopted through
the efforts of the friends of free bind
ing twine, senators who are opposed to
other features of the bill will feel at
liberty to use the same tactics to obtain
other changes an it will be impossible
to pass the tariff bilL
