LOOKING TO Till ) NEW STATES.
It la well that the republican leaders
nro beginning to direct their attention
.0 the now states. It is reported that
Senator Quay , chairman of the national
committee and ether prominent re-
mbllcans , have recently boon consiil-
irlng the subject of n 1 > 1 tin of campaigner
or the now states. There is , of course ,
no doubt regarding the result in the
Dnkotao , and not very much ground for
any regarding Washington , although
the democrats profess to believe they
will have a fighting chance there , but
Montana certainly will call for actlvo
and zealous work on the part of the re-
MibUcunsixnu it will bo wise for them note
, o bo misled by ovor-confldonco into
any neglect of Washington. Indeed ,
, ho obvious duty of the republican man
agers is to thoroughly organize the
inrty In all the territories which are to
jocomo slates , and to prosecute a vigor
ous campaign in each. The advantage
is with the republicans , and with ade
quate and wisely-directed efforts they
can control all of the now states.
It is highly Important that the ropub-
.leans should secure all of the five rep
resentatives in congress , from the now
states. They will need thorn to
enable the party in the next
liouso to olTcct such changes
In the rules as nro necessary
to enable the majority to carry out Its
wishes. The now narrow majority
promises to bo further cut down by the
illness of Nutting , of Now York , and
Laird , of Nebraska , neither of whom , if
they llvo until the meeting of congress ,
will probably bo able to take any part
In the organization of the house. It is
obviously possible for the republicans
In the next house to bo placed in the
minority from the death or disability
of members on that side , and the
party can not therefore afford to
lose any chance to strengthen it3
representation in congress. It must
make a vigorous effort to secure all the
congressmen from the new btalos and
the representative from the Third Louis
iana district , not ono of whom can bo
spared if the republican policy in con
gress is to succeed. It is certain that
the democrats intend to make a hot
fight in Montana , and they will not icr-
nero Washington. Vigilanoo and ac
tlvo work on the part ot the republi
cans will bo necessary to prevent the
loss to them of ono , if not both these
territories. The party managers are
beginning none too soon to consider the
demands of the situation.
THE SITUATION IN OHIO.
Political affairs in Ohio are begin
ning to attract general attention. The
gubernatorial campaign of this year
promises to bo ono of the most vigorous
in the history of the state , and the in
terest attaching to it is chiefly in the
fact that it will bo fought on national is
sues , with the question of the senatorial
succession given prominent considera
tion. The republicans will hold their
state convention next Tuesday , with * at
least half n doien candidates for the
honor of the gubernatorial nomina
tion. The indications are , however ,
that Governor Forakor will bo
nominated. Uo is not seek
ing it , and on the con
trary has repeatedly said that ho does
not desire it , but tlio trend of sentiment
in the party as the date of. the conven
tion draws near appears to bo largely in
his favor. Several ol the other candi
dates are excellent men and would
make a peed fight , but the feeling
seems to bo that the intrepid and ag
gressive * governor , who has twice led
the party to victory , is the safest man
to be again the leader , and his ronomi-
nntion , with the hearty approval of all
the candidates , is more than probable.
The democratic convention will not
be hold until August , and at
present the indications are that
it will nominate for governor ox-
Congrossuian Campbell , a man of con
siderable ability , who is of the Randall
stripe of democrats. Young Allen G.
Thurman aspired to the candidacy , as
the representative of the tariff reform
element of the party , but ho seams to
have secured so small a following ns to
have propped out of consideration. Be
sides , the Payne democrats would in
any event oppose young Thurman on
account of the reflections cabt by his
father upon the mnnnor of Mr. Payne's
election to the senate. Perhaps no
man the democrats could nominate
would bo moro easily beaten. Camp
bell is doubtless us likely as any mini to
unite the party.
The Cincinnati Commmi'il Gazelle is
laboring to induce the republicans to
unite for n. wav against monopoly , and
particularly against the Standard Oil
company. "Tho representatives and
creatures of this sort of thing , " it says ,
"are going to struggle with our repub
licans in Ohio this year for the posses
sion of the state and the continuance in
the spnalc of a trust monopoly and
boodle senator , " and it appeals to the
party to never mind Its little squc.bble.s
and come up to tlio tusk of striking
down this olcmunt in the state whore it
had its birth.
AN orKllWllULMINU
What wore supposed to bo careful es
timates before Tuesday's election in
Pennsylvania placed the probable ma
jority against the prohibitory amend-
mot at between ninety and ono hundred
thousand. The result shows that tlio
majority will bo nearer two hundred
thousand , Philadelphia , for cuumplo ,
was expected to glvo sixty thousand
against the amendment , whereas
jt gave ninvty-Uiroo thousand.

the estimates , whllo quit'i fjanornlly
the estimated majorities lor the amend
ment wcro loworml by the result. The
aggregate vote will probably bo ihown
( o bo very much larger than was ox-
peeled , thus domonDtrating the general
and earnest popular intorot that was
taken in the issue ,
A ilofcat BO overwhelming as thiu car
ries its own comment and lesson. It
ought to mnko a very deep impression
upon those in every part of the country
\fho are most in noudof being impressed
by such a populur vordit. ; The people
of Pennsylvania , like those ot Mnssnchu-
sottshad this question ptosontoil to thorn
In ovary phase and most thoroughly
diseased. The cause of prohibition was
ably championed and onlUtod the sup
port ot some of the loaders in both the
political parties. But with the most
ample and conclusive evidence before
thorn of the failure of prohibition , and
with nn experience that abundantly
proved the benefits accruing from the
policy of high llconso faithfully on-
[ orcod , the people of Pennsylvania , by
a majority equaling ono-fifth the entire
vote of the state , dooidod that they did
not want the constitution of the state
burdened with a prohibitory amend
ment. A moro crushing defeat has
never boon given in this country by
a vote of the people to any amendment ,
nml it may reasonably bo expected to
sllenco for many years in Pennsylvania
nil clamor for constitutional prohibition.
And whatever the wrong-headed advo
cates of prohibition may say to the con
trary , the result Is a positive gain for
tlio causa of temperance. High llconso
in Pennsylvania will bo maintained
and strictly enforced , increasing the
bonotlts that have already resulted
from it in reducing the saloon inter
ests and decreasing the sulo of intoxi
cating liquors.
Rhoilo Island will vote to-day on the
question -whofhor the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution
of that state adopted three
years ago , shall remain. The ver
dict ot the people of'Pennsylvnnia can
hardly fail to exert a considerable in-
lluonco upon these of Rhode Island ,
whoso unfortunate experience with
prohibition had its share ot olToct upon
the popular mind of Pennsylvania. The
result in the Ivoystono state will
bo regarded with great satisfaction
by all frlonds of true temperance re
form.
Tiinnn are indications that the cattle
business is undergoing a decided revo
lution , which is likely to bring about
great cha.iges in that industry. Hereto
fore it has been customary for Texas to
raise the calves and send thousands of
yearlings annually into Colorado , Wyo
ming and Montana over the famous
Texas trail. The pressure of population
and the occupation of the boat lands in
Colorado and Wyoming by home
steaders , however , is gradually obliter
ating the Texas trail. The drovers nro
compelled to seek more circuitous and
expensive routes. Already great dif
ficulties are encountered in driving
largo bodies of cattle over the m oun-
tains , owing to the scarcity of water on
thu now trail , and complaints are made
that both Wyoming and Colorado nro
developing into farming and stock rais
ing states , to the exclusion ot Texas cat
tle. Even should Montana bo able to
receive nil the cattle that Texas may
send for years to come , there can bo
no question but that in a short time the
present methods of shipment must bo
changed. What effect this change will
have remains to bo soon. It is now
claimed that the expense of transporta
tion will bo so great ns to make the
business between Texas and Montana
unprofitable. But it is moro than likely
that the railroad lines will adjust their
rates correspondingly so long as Mon
tana makes demands on Texas for live
stoclc.
AMEKICAN daring and enterprise
promise to colonize and revolutionize
Central Africa. Stanley took up tlio
work of exploration which fell from the
pulseless hands of Livingston and dem
onstrated that an empire of teeming
wealth awaited the energy and pluck
of civilization to contribute vastly to
the commerce of the world' the noted
railroad magnate , Collis P. Huntington -
ton , is now organizing a company to
follow the path of Stanley- the Congo
with a railroad. The movement is
backed by the king of the Belgians ,
and the bulk of the capital will
bo secured in that country. Hun-
tington's record as a railroad
builder attracted the attention of King
Leopold , and there is no reason to
doubt that if ho undertakes the job the
whistle of the American locomotive will
startle the barbarians of that section
before many years. The constrcctiou
of n railroad through the Congo Free
State would bo u pioneer in the civili
zation of Central Africa , and bene
ficially affect the trade of this country.
THK success of American marksmen
at Creed moro und Wimbloton in com
petition with the article shots of Eng
land is still fresh in mind. The event ,
uibrcovor , is moro vividly recalled now
that the famous Massachusetts company ,
of pixtcon , under the commund'of Major
Jiiinoti B. Frost , has just sailed for Eng
land to meet the best shots on the con
tinent. The country may well fool con
fident that our reputation as murkBinon
has boon put Into good hands inasmuch ,
UN this formidable militia organization
has met and vanquished both military
and mllltla teams in America in many
a hard shot contest. The trip abroad
gains additional interest , particuliirly
to military circles , duo to the fact that
the Springfield rifle is to bo pitted
against the Miirlinl-Honry rlilo of the
English. And it is to bu demonstrated
that America possesses not ulono the
host marksmen but the most reliable
shooting weapon for military bervico.

Tlio Engineer * A sic nn Immediate
Decision , and n Htrlko Mny llnsult.
The controversy between the oulcmls of
the Union Pamflo und the grievance commit
tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive ongln-
era over the schedule of wages to apply on
the Kansas Central has grown desperate , and
unless the demand of the engineers for the
restoration ot the former schedule Is soon
granted , n general walk out may follow at all
points on the lino. Yesterday forenoon .tho
committee conferred with the olllcmls , ami
General Manager Kimball requested , that a
hoard of arbitration bo appointed , the said
hoard to bo allowed to settle the matter.
The engineers said that they had no
question to arbitrate , and that two wrongs
would not make a right. Mr. Kimball
urged that the matter ho settled in this city ,
neil suggested that the board bo of three
members ; ono to bo appointed by the Union
Pncillc , ono by the committee , and the two
men selected to choose the third. Though
dissatisfied , the engineers adjourned to the
Arcade hotel , where they assembled to again
discuss the arbitration plan.
All the members of the committee re
mained ilrm on the ono point , that there
was nothing that the engineers had
to arbitrate , and this time made
their decision against arbitration final.
Accordingly , a sub-committee was appointed
for the purpose of notifying Mr. Kimball of
the action of the engineers. This committee
waited upon Mr. Kimball at 4:30o'ciouk. : yes
terday afternoon. The general manager
then informed them that ho had no authority
to go further , but assured them that ho
would communicate with his superiors. Ac
cordingly ho dispatched a telegram to Vico-
Presulont Holcomb , who is nt Portland , Ore. ,
asking for further instructions , and notifying
him that the engineers had positively refused
to arbitrate. Ho informed the euginocrs
that ho would do his utmost toward reaching
n settlement by this evening.
"Your answer must como by that time nnd
must bo n positive yes or no , " said ono of the
committee to the general manager. "I
think , " ho said , "that this has dragged
along about far enough.Vo admit that such
things cannot bo done in a moment's time ,
but wo feel as if our leniency has been
abused , and unless you give us an answer by
to-morrow evening we will take the mutter
in our own hands. "
The general manager was than loftto medi
tate on the situation , Last night it was
learned that the cngmcors , in case a decision
is not reached to-day , will call upon Chief
Arthur to order the men out , and that n gen
eral walk-out will Immediately follow his
mandate.
Another important Issue in connection with
the controversy has Just came to light. It is
that every employe of the Union Pacific ,
aside from the engineers and firemen ,
has been instructed to follow the engineers
In case a strike is declared. District Organi
zer Noesham , of the Knights of Labor , who
has charge of all tha.brunches of organized
labor on the Union Pacific system , came to
Omaha from Denver in response to a aum-
mons by telegram , and has everything ar
ranged for a prompt walk-out of all the
shopmen , switchmen and every laborer em
ployed , by the company. "Inside of ono
hour , " said one of the individuals Interested
in the transaction , "everylocomotive , shovel
nnd all machinery would bo brought to n
stop. "
Mr. Ncosham could not bo found , but that
ho had been hero for several days In con
nection with the trouble was admitted by
the engineers , and oven the olllcials of the
Union Pacific stated that they were aware of
his presence in the city. The fight , has re
duced itself to this : Either the old scale of
wages will bo restored nt once or a general
strike , in which about 8,000 men will walk
out , will follow.
The Burlington Extension.
The B. & M. will to-day resume work
on the Alliance extension of the road and.
will push the line to the coal regions , Lcad-
vlllo and points in the Black Hills territory.
Yesterday a car loaded with Italians was sent
to the sccno of operation and ilOO mora of
the sons of sunny Italy will arrive from
Kansas City to-day and will bo put to
work grading at once. The company ex
pects to have the line completed to points in
Wyoming by the latter part of November.
A Consolidation.
It is reported on good authority that the
general ofllco of the Chicago & Northwest
ern at this place will bo consolidated at an
early date with tno Fremont , Elkhoru &
Missouri Valley. Walter N. Uubeock , who
just returned from Chicago , where ho ten
dered his resignation as general agent , when
questioned concerning tno matter , denied all
knowledge of any change of that character
pending , und also stated thai ho was una
ware as to who would bo appointed to suc
ceed him as general agent. The oftlcials of
the Klklmrn denied that they had been In
formed concerning the proposed consolida
tion of the two departments , but the state
ment that such was to ho the outcome is
backed up by reliable authority.

About 3:30 : this morning , Mr. M. D. Welch ,
1335 G street , secretary and treasurer of tbo
Western Manufacturing company , was
awakened by a loud noise which ho at first
thought was thunder. A , second later ho
hoard some ono working with his safe In the
room down stairs , and ho thought instantly
of burglars. Ho ran to the back window ,
whore ho saw In the darkness three forms
retreating as fast ns their logs could carry
them. Ho opened lire , sending five balls
after them , ono of which took effect , as ono
of the men dropped and another bravely
turned around returning the lire with such
an accuracy of aim as to make Mr. Welch
feel uncomfortable for a time. Mr. Welch
went down stairs then , nnd found all the
front doors leading to the dining room
where the safe stood , securely barricaded.
Ho tried thq kitchen door and found it wide
open as thieves hud left it. On entering ho
found the safe door blown entirely olC and
lying some eight feet away. A number of
drawers and ins "banker's ease" wore miss
ing. After a hasty examination of the loss ,
Mr. Welch estimates that they rarrleil uwuy
about $10,000 worth of notes , boiuln and
stocks , his own individual propcity , nnd
about , 510,1 in money , and also a round-trip
ticket to Hot Springs , Dak. , signed bv Mrs.
Welch.
This morning a small drawer containing
about MOO worth of diamond jewelry was
found nc.ir where the man fell who received
ono of Welch's shots , and n package of notes
and drafts was found about a dozen rods
away , where they wcro accidentally dropped
iu their wild efforts to escape.
Mr. Welch offers $100 reward for the re
turn of the papers and no questions will be
asked.
Nearly every house lu that block was
burglarized about two W09ka ago , but little
of value wu1 * taken. They located this unfe ,
and knowing Mr. Welch's position with the
company , thought , probably , to make u big
haul , but in tills they were disappointed. But
it will put Mr. Welch to t > omo inconvenience
to secure duplicated of his lost paper * .

DAI.TIMOIIR , Md. . Juno 19. | Special Tele
gram to TUB Biil ! Under the skillful
guldanco of Charlie Mitchell Jake Kilraln is
rapidly getting into condition for his fight
with John L. Sullivan next month. His
training quarters are at Hulstead's road
house , Just back of Druid Hill park , ono of
the prettiest ami healthiest spots in Mary-
laud. Every afternoon hundreds of persons
go out to Halstcad's to see the pugilists
punch the bag and take tholr spins around
Plmlico race track , which is near by. Whoa
Kilraln began to train two weeks ago bin
weight was 213 pounds. Ho has since ro-
duccd it to 193 pounds and expects to lower
it to Ib5 or Ib8 pounds by July 2 , thu day hi
starts for Now Orleans.
In a talk with him to-day , ho said ho an
ticipated no trouble from these outside the
ring , ns the first , men to break the ropes ( ana
they will bo known ) under the rules will
have the light decided against their favorites.
Neither of the principals , nor nny of the
backers , ho thinks , can afford to counto-
unnco any crooked or unfair work. Still ho
will bo prepared for all emergencies , as ho
declares ho will have to bo defeated fairly or
not at all. Mitchell is of the name opinion.
The question of the battle ground has been
loft entirely with Frank Stevenson.
The betting here , whllo not as lively ns
expected , is decidedly in favor of Kilrain ,
odds of two to ono , nnd in some instances of
three to one. being laid against Sullivan , An
ardent admirer of Kill-am wants to bet
$1,000 each that his man will gel first blood ,
knock down and the flght in less than thirty
rounds. No ono has taken him up as yet.

THIS Bcu.J "Dynamite" Ducoy , ono of the
most blatant of Chicago's anarchists in the
days when those gentry nourished hero , re
ceived a shock in Judge Williamson's court
Tuesday afternoon that ho will not forgot
soon. Ho had been summoned as a juror
and flatly told the assistant state's attorney
it was no use to put him on the jury ns It was
against his principles to convict a man In a
court of law for robbing and ho would not do
it.
"How then , " said the attorney , "woula
you keep men from robbing ether men ! "
"I would see that they had what they need
ed without having to steal it. I would give
them enough to eat and wear. "
Finally the attorney gavq him up and ex
cused him. Judge Williamson then had his
inning.
"Do I understand you , " said ho to the an
archist , "to say that you will not enforce
the law if sworn as a Jurymanl"
"That is what I said. "
"Woll , Mr. Duooy , I'll Just send you to the
county jail for the night. "
A bailiff escorted the crestfallen dynamiter
to the jail.
