THE NAVAL' RESERVE BILL Tracy Anxious to Have Governor Hill Sign It. j HE WAS A PREJUDICED JUROR An Unusunl Scene Witnessed In reu nion Commissioner Tanner's Ol- llcc The Sioux Commission to Meet in Chicago. WASHINGTON BnKEAU , THE OMAHA BOB , 513 FOUIlTEBXTnSTIlCET , WASHINGTON. D. C. , May 25. Secretary Tracy Is very anxious to have Governor Hill , of New York , sign the naval reserve bill. Ho wrote to the governor to day , saying : "Much study nnd attention wan given to this question , and the bill , as re ported to the house , received Iho approval of the navy department , us welt as that of the committee reporting it , but. owing to the continued illncns of VVhitthorno , of Tonnes , sco' , it was not brought to n vote before the house. The establishment of a naval reserve in this country is very much to be-desired , nnd will greatly Increase our resources for the dofcuso of our coasts and cities upon the Boabonrd nnd great lakes. In view of the Importance of this question nnd of Its Inti mate relation to the navy department and the national defense , I Invite for it your favor- nulo consideration. " A I'llEJUDICEI ) JDHOU. At 3 o'clock tills afternoon an unusual cone wns-vytnossed in the ofllco of the com missioner of pensions. It was an argument * in favor of granting a pension of $72 u month 1 for total disability to the twenty-one men who are receiving pensions ranging from ? -l to $ CO for the loss of an arm or leg or both arms or both legs. The argument made by J. C. 13lgel6w was Illustrated by photographs allowing the exact disability of the bene ficiaries. It was argued that the principle of the law contemplated equal pensions for equal disabilities In every instance , and that nil Jaws not .containing equivalent pensions wore not In harmony wlt'h the original prln- clnlo. I3oforo the argument was begun the commissioner stated that ho wus willing to stale that ho wus a prejudiced Juror. " 1 nm In favor of the nrifoners , " said ho , ' and I want to bo convinced that I am right. * 1 want to sco u lnw which will rcmbvo the Unrricu against these men who arc practically Buffering total disabilities , but who arc not under tbo strict letter of the totally disabled. As the law has heretofore ) been Interpreted , the highest pension they can be allowed Is $72 a month. If I can sea that I um right I urn willing to atuka my po sition , If nuccssojy , in favor of tliij increase. This is un Important matter as It Involves arrearage8 ! and it threatens to muko an In road upon the surplus , which we all adore so proatly. " General Lew Wallace , of Indlnna , sat very near the commissioner during the argument and was frequently appealed to by the udvo- cute whun qucstiono or general principle nnd technical points were raised , There were qultou number of newspaper correspondents and congressmen present. As soon as tbo argument closed the coinmlusloner announced that the prayer wus granted , anu that the increase or rcrutlug wus allowed.

The announcement of the marriage of Sen ator Allison , of Iowa , to Miss Theresa ouly lack * tbo authoritative veri fication of those who have boon most inti mately associated with the senator , who are disposed to regard the story as a reminis cence on the simple ground that ho has never shown the slightest indication of any tender feeling towards hor. It docs not seem to bo known even by the senator's friends that his alleged prospective brldo Is now u guest with other ladies of the sena torial Canadian trade relations junketing ex pedition en route for Alaska.

Citizens or Gutlirlo Distrusted With the Blaynr nnd Coitnoll. WASHINGTON , > fey 25. Inspector PIckler , of the Interior department , now in Guthrlo , Oklahoma , has sent a report to Secretary Noble , under date nt May 13 , on the situa tion in that'olty. In the course of his report Inspector PIckler says tlio city council of Guthrle was very Irregularly chosen to begin with , and as tbo peoplu understood , for the purpose merely of putting the machinery of the city In motion , At the time the council was chosen grave responsibilities were forced upon them , uuu gouenxlly they huvo assumed and settled them lu a creditable manner. They have preserved order , survnyed the town and practically cleared the streets. In thuso matters they are commended oy all..They havo.-how- over , assumed other powers and undertaken to act luxurious mutters for which they uro generally nnd very emphatically condemned. They buvo appointed uu ultoruoy at a salary of $1,800 per year and nn advisor of the council on arbitration , nt a salary In excess of this , a hoard of flvo arbitrators on set tling the right of possession to lots , some being members of the council ntSlO per day , charging each contestant 810 before tbo case could ho heard , and returning only SiO to the party succeeding , and keeping the remainder. They have granted , or pretended tended to grant , a franchise for ten years tea a company to suoply the city with water , build a bridge across the stream and grade the streets , and In llko manner have taken many such stops against whlcu the citizens loudly protest , nnd further they are now col loctinir largo taxes an occupation tax of $5 per month , a survey tux , a recorder's tax on lots , etc. They have enacted harsh ordinances , for the violation of which severe penalties arc imposed. They nro recklessly spendiag money In paying oftlcials and nro surveying the town on lines others than those recommouded at the .people's mooting , in order to save their own lots. Further it is assorted tnat the mombcrs of tbo council arc among thosq who came In on the Sunday before the S3 and seized a'l of the best lots , nnd that the city government has in all matters predicted the interests of these men. The ohargo has been made nioro emphatic from the fact that the council has Instructed Iho board of arbitration , that In considering who is entitled to a lot that priority of settlement , on Monday , 22d , re gardless of the hour , entitled the party to thp lot. This the people considered in direct conflict with the president's proclamation. A petition was circulated yesterday , ask ing the council to call an election to divide the city Into wards and to make a registry of voters , and'asklng that an election bo held on Monday , the 27th of May. Practi cally , everybody signed the petition. Independent of this petition the citizens held a mass mooting last evening. They were very much In earnest nnd very deter mined. Alter speeches by several persons they passed a resolution ousting the mayor and city council , and appointed a committee to so notify them , and also passed a resolu tion appointing a committee of seven to call a city election , Ignoring the present mayor and council , The inspector then states that thcro wcro such loud calls for his views that ho took the stand and told them that , * In his judgment , it was a mistake to not petition the mayor and council to call an election , and it would most likely result in two conflicting city govern ments , that they were entitled to a speedy election ; to a sworn statement from the present council as to all moneys collected or paid out ; tbat tno Incoming administration should limit the fees of ull ofllcera and boards ; should bo economical and should bo very careful In regard to grunting to Individ uals valuable franchises of tbo clt.v without duo consideration. After a boated discus sion , a motion was made to reconsider , and was curried and a committee appointed to present petitions to the mayor requesting him to call an election. Tbo meeting then adjourned in good humor. Too Accomplished. El Verano Valley Whlstlo : El Verano mother What has become of Mr. Wisely , daughter , ho hasn't ' boon here to see you lately , has ho ?

RATE "WAR A Western Bailroad Association to Break Up. LAST WEEK'S GRAIN TRAFFIC Trains Delayed by Excessive Rains Tlio XJ. P.'s Decreased Earnings Imst Month The Alton's Decided Stand. The Afton Means CHICAGO , May 23. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] "Our road is In splendid shnpo , but wo nro doing a vcr.y poor business , " said General Manager Chappcll , of the Alton to-day. After a moment's thought , ho added : "We nro tired of fooling , and hereafter pro pose to carry our share of the business or ught. " Mr. Chappell-'concludca with the re mark that , In his recent trip over the line , he liad become convinced that crops never looked bettor at this season. Those dis patches have repeatedly shown that the Alton officials uro by no means In love with the Intor-stato Commerce ) Hallway associa tion. As the general manager of another west-bound road paid to-day : "Tho Alton people are trying every way they Know to find an excuse to withdraw from the asso ciation. I guess they've found It In their de mand on Chairman Walker for a division of the trafllc , so that they will got the same proportionate amount they had before the association was formed. Look at the figures a minute ; .tho Alton being a direct line , has a iways taken more live stock from Kansas City than the St. Paul , which has n regular goafs-horn road from there to Chicago. So far this month the St. Paul has taiccn out of Kansas City 407 cars of live stock and the Alton has han dled but 1'37 cars. Of course , the cattle enjoy a longer rldo on the St. Paul , thus allowing the shippers to get Hatter value for their money. Qf course , again , rates are ' strictly maintained , " Hero the speaker's eyelid drew down In evident appreciation of his own joke. Ho continued : "lint it isn't the St. Puul alone which is hurting tbo Alton. The Illinois Central refused to join the association , nnd f.Up figures show why the Alton is so anxious do withdraw. Three weeks ago the Illmo'U Central hauled 54 | curs of grain into Chicago. This week they hauled l,7at cars , against 843 for the Alton. There has never ' bofdVo been such a dis crepancy. I honestly b.elovo the Alton will withdraw from the association inside of a month. If it don't if. , will be because iho other reman turn ovqr SQJIJO of their businces to it , and I don't Irnow any road which will do such a foolish thing as that. If the Alton withdraws it is dollurs'to Vlaughnuts the Bur lington will follow Btilt.'und ' tlio Uocli Island w ll tnalro a sure third' ojust keep your eye open for squalls In j that famous President's association.

A PILFERING SPIRIT , Strange Story of tlio Wild Woman of * the Hookies. "Tho Wild Woman of tbo Rockies ; or the Spirit of Cameron Puss , " should bo the titloof this story , but with the por- vcrscncfs of inanimate tliingb tlio types won't ' stand it , nays the Choyonnc Leader. They may not object right out in muoUnp , but they will refuse to enter - tor the line in the order dictated unices filed down. But to the story , which IB related by the veracious fund of remi niscence , W. C. Hart , the geologist. In 1882 Mr. Hart and two other en thusiastic collectors of specimens were encamped near the lava , bads between the bead waters of the Cache do hi Poutlro and North Park. It was a broken roaion and the wlordncss was heightened by the proximity of an ex tinct crater , while hare rocks and dead limber were evorywho.ro. The hopa of becuring valuable specimens for their cabinets attracted the go at Jo in on to the uncanny spot , for everyone averred that Cameron pass WUB haunted by tbo spirit of an emigrant's daughter who had been driven from camp by her father because she loved not wisely but too well. Joe Shopler , a well known mountain eer , who wan piloting the mineralogists through the lulls , had often scon the ghost , and promised his companions that they should view the apparition before returning to their homos , Ho naid the strange spirit was iv thief , nnd frequently Btolo food nnd furniture from the camps of huntoi-H who ventured within the precincts of her uninviting domain. At dinner August 12 , 1H82 , Shopler , who wus a brave man on ovcryoccasion , announced that the spirit was approach ing , and pointed to a stranga being wliieh was swiftly moving toward the cam ] ) . The marauder came to witliin 600 yards of the men. and seizing u haunch of vcnibon which had been planed on n stone , atartod away with it on the run. Hart picked up his rillo , ' nnd calling upon his males to follow , started in pur- Hull of the ttiiof. Shor-Uioy were sure it WUB a wpniKn led thorn u lively race dlrootly towardu the lava beds , close pi-cased the recluse dropped tfia meat nnd sped on ward to the opening 01 a cave. The pursuers entered thf cavern soon after the disappearance of the strange robber , and found a dead } woman the exertion had killed her. The corpse was that of u girl perhapi twonty-iivo years of ago. She were a rude gown fashioned of skins. HQ1 ? hair was very long and she was surty burned and barefooted. The remain's were buried decently , J An examination of the cave disclosoq the fact that it liad for bomo lima bead used as a habitation by the allogoijE spirit. The ground was covered with hones , and although thcrp were cooking" utensils about it was evident they had never been Ufacd. She had subsisted on. stolen raw meat and raw fruit. Sha had dried meat for winter use. Forsoveral years the wild girl was thought to be a veritable spirit. Usually she visited camp at the close of a. . long summer day , and it is small wondoB that hunters fled at her approach * Camoiou pass is just over the Colorado line. _ WH AT HE FORGOT A Ncwnonodlot Cols All Ills Hiinillc * Tosotlior ISxcopt Jilt ) Wife.
