Ciitc-AGo , April 20. [ Special Telegram to
Tun UI-.K. ] General Manager Klploy of the
nurllngton road has resigned to accept the
vice presidency of the St. Paul road. The
resignation goes into effect Juno 1 and Mr.
Hlpley assumes his new duties on July 1.
There could not have been a more
surprising change had It been any
other Chicago railroad ofllcinl. There
is now loft no Burlington official who took a
prominent part in the management during
the strike. General Freight Agent Morton ,
Vice President Stond and General Manager
Hlpley nro ull gone. All have bettered them
selves financially , hut the resignation of
three men , whoso names became during the
strike synonymous with that of the Burlinc-
ton , nro considered significant by other Chi-
cagtt railroad men.
Said Mr. nipley today : "May 31 I start
for a short trip to Kurope , my resignation
taking effect Juno 1. July 11 will bo in har
ness again. Of course.I regret leaving the
nurllngton , but I could hardly afford to rc-
fuse the offer made mo by the St. Paul. My
relations with all the Burlington people
nro extremely cordial and no friendships
will bo broken when J leave. My resignation ,
following so close upon that of Mr. Stone , lias
no significance. I have the very highest re
gard for him , and believe that no living man
could have managed the Burling
ton batter than ho has during
the last year. Ho has received much
unjust censure for bis connection with
the strike , but everything ho did then was
under orders from the board of directors.
Ho was asked if bo could beat the strike , and
ho said 'yes.1 Well , ho did , and I don't be
lieve the men think any the worse of him
now for the sbaro ho took in It. "
President Miller of the St. Paid , who is
now with all ills general officers in the midst
of moving the offices to Chicago from Mil
waukee , was apparently much pleased
at securing such an invaluable assist
ant as Mr. Klploy. As usual
ho bud _ little to say. referring
the most of the questions to Mr. Hiploy for
answer. Hclatlvo to the western rate situa
tion , he said : "Jt is all guesswork and your
guess is as good as mine. I don't know of
any plan now on foot which will stop
the present demoralization. It will
of course wear itself out in time ,
but I do not yet see the beginning of the end.
Neither do 1 know whether all the western
lines want an association strong enough to
command mid enforce tariff rates. Mr.
Klploy will hold the title of second vice
president , probably , with the control of
the trafllu department. His duties have
not been completely mapped out. Tee posi
tion ho will occupy is n vacant one and will
make no difference with the rest of the
officers. "
Vice President Harris of the Burlington St
Northern will temporarily at least fill
the positions vacated by Vice President
Stone and General Manager Khilcy.
Qoiioral Manager Merrill of the Kansas City ,

Western Stales PIIHRCMKCI * Association
Cinc.too , April 20. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bin : . ] All the lines of the old Western
States Passenger association and all these in
the Trims-Missouri association except the St.
Louis ifc San Francisco , Kansas City , Fort
Scott & Memphis mid Denver ft Klo Grande ,
were represented at today's meeting
called to reorganize the Western
States Passenger association. The
avowed purpose was to include not
only all lines In the old territory , but also
those in the Trans-Missouri territory , and
with the consent of the absentee this will un
doubtedly bo accomplished. A motion to re
store rates was temporarily voted down , it
being the sense of the majority that the first
thing to bo done was to reorganize the asso
ciation. The Missouri Pacific and Union
Pacific were actively in favor of the
plan and offered no objection to
reorganization. The only objection was
the Wisconsin Central , which demanded as
usual that it bo allowed a differential in case
it could not run its ( rains as fast to and from
St. Paul as its competitors , It is abso
lutely certain no differential will bo
granted and the Northwestern intimated so
plainly as to amount to a tin-cat , that If the
Northern Pacllio continued to make trouhlo
through its leased line , the Wisconsin Cen
tral , that the Northwestern and Union Pa-
cillo together would cut rates in Northern
Pacific territory until the latter
was brought to timo. It was
brought out that the Northern
Pacific would lessen its present time between
St. Paul and Portland eighteen hours , bagin-
nhig May 5 , and the Norchwestern threatened
not only to beat this time but to cut rates un
less the Wisconsin Central ceased
its demands , There was no other
obsindo In the way of forming
the association and such rapid progress was
made that it Is thought matters will be In
readiness J'OLthe election of a chairman by
day after tomorrow. There is as yet no
prominent candidate for the office.
Gould Interviewed.
CHICAGO , April 29. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BKI : . ] Jay Gould arrived In Chicago
this afternoon from his southern trip. Ho
' said in answer to questions : "I leave to
morrow for Detroit mid go thence to
Now York. It is the longest
vacation I have had _ in some
time and I enjoyed thu Mexican trip im
mensely. As far us the western rate situa
tion is concerned I do not believe it will
improve materially until a .strong association
Is formed. Wo nro ready to go into n satts-
factorv one , but It must bo at least strong
enough to stand nlono. The Missouri Pacific
Is represented in today's passenger meeting
and 1 understand that the agreement prom
ises to be a good ono.Vo do not
want to continue the present demoral
ization , but wo do want some guuran-
tee of stable rates before wo go
Into nn association. Of course any strong
agreement must contain a strong arbitration
clause. I do not know that Chairman Walker
has any plan which will bo acceptable , but 1
hope ho has. "

Opium is belngsmuggled Into America packed
In lemon rinds. The lemons nro silcoJ near

that " ho said , "wasn't

A California Clilnc.se Inspector Tells
How the Hoathuii Hvadcs tin ; Imw.
WASIIINOTO.V , April 2'J. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : BII : : . ] The secretary of the treasury
has received a long report from Air. D. E.
Coon , Chinese Inspector at San Diego , Cnl. ,
in regard to the smuggling of Chinese into
the United States from Alcxico. Ho says
that a careful inspection of the country and
roads crossing the state line from Tiajuamm
to the monument ut the sen shows that the
opportunities for crossing over into tills coun
try are many and that it is impossible with
the present force to prevent all the Chinese
from entering the country. He says that the
smuggling of Chinamen into the United States
is a profitable traffic of no small dimen
sions and that it is backed by very
heavy capital with the principal headquarters
at San Francisco and China.
The evidence seems to bu that contracts are
made in China to deliver safely each China
man on American soil and a guarantee given.
If the delivery is made in safety the money
( $ ! ) ( ) ) Is paid. The Chinamen are provided
in China with tickets to various parts of
Mexico , and on arrival in the harbor of San
Francisco are transferred to a coaster , by
which they are taken to Ensenada or other
points , "But the real destination of the Chi
naman , " hays Air. Coon , "is the United
States , and no matter wlicro ho lands ,
be it in Mexico or Canada , ho
will at the earliest possible moment work his
way to his original destination.
"Tho action of the secretary oftho treasury
prohibiting further transfers In the harbor of
San Francisco was a most fortunate order
and will serve to check the traffic for a time
at least , but I apprehend that in the near
future steamship lines will bring them direct
from China and land them on Mexican soil as
near the United States us possible , so they
may finally reach the country they arc look
ing for. Legislation on this subject bv con
gress , if well considered , will afford temporary
ary relief and in my opinion it will bo foaud
necessary for our government to negotiate
treaty stipulations with Mexico and the
.British government whereby these nations
will exclude Chinamen from their territory
on tills continent. ,
"Tho surest mid the most speedy and
economical punishment the Chinaman can
have und the one to bu most dreaded by him
Is to send him at once to his native country. "

The critics are nftor the president and his
faintly In a very savage manner because of
two or three entertainments they have re
cently given.
The prohibition organ nt New York and
several of the religious papers nvo saying
harsh things about the ball Airs. AIcKeo gave
last Wednesday night , and lament that a man
occupying so high and responsible a position
ns the president of the United States should
Indulge in such "frivolities" or permit them
to take place in the sacred precincts of the
executive mansion. Alarked copies of these
papers nro being sent to the white house in
largo numbers , und good people in all parts of
the country are writing letters to inquire If
the reports are true. They nsk if the presi
dent and Airs. Harrison engaged in the dance ,
and if they approve of such forms of amuse
ment. These letters do not roach the presi
dent's eye , but are opened , read and Hied
away by his secretaries. The correspondent
of the prohibition organ has been endeavor
ing to ascertain if wine or punch wns served ,
and appears to bo quito disappointed to dis
cover that lemonade , coffee and npolonnris
water were the only beverages offered to the
guests.
Then the classical musical -critics nro ex
pressing their displeasure nt the character of
the programmes of the two entertainments
given last week. The musical numbers were
all of a light character , with a goodly number
of comic songs. There were guitar and man
dolin solos and an entertainment was given
by a company of Swedish bell ringers. The
critics argue that the president and Airs.
Harrison ought to encourage classical music
instead of the lighter quality , but as a matter
of fact the entertainments were not for study ,
but for relaxation , and the programme con
tained that class of music which the presi
dent and bis family especially enjoy.
Tin : UTAH HILL.
The Utah bill , which was introduced by
Air. Struble of Iowa , chairman of the commit
tee on territories , has passed that committee
by a strict party vote and lias been reported
to tbo-honse. This bill is substantially the
same as the Idaho test oath , although It is
some what enlarged. It will probably be called
up in the first morning hour which the com
mittee on territories has , and there seems
every prospect of its speedy pnssago. The
object of the bill is to exterminate polygamy
in Utah. It will meet witli the unanimous
support of the republicans , and it Is probable
that the democrats will follow the lead of
Springer and oppose its adoption as a party.
Under the provisions of this bill the Mormons
of Utah will bo disfranchised unless they dis
avow the oaths of their church and take the
oath of allegiance under the federal constitu
tion.
"Immediately after the morning hour in
the house tomorrow it is the purpose of the
committee on invalid pensions to call up the
dependent pension bill and put it upon its
passage , " said Chairman Alorrlll to your cor
respondent tills afternoon , "and I am quito
confident , " ho continued , "that the bill will
bo passed before the sun goes down tomorrow
evening. It was the decree of the caucus
some days ago that this bill should be passed
and it is the disposition of the republicans
that the democrats should bo given a reason
able time for debate in order to stillo their
cry that wo are trying to rush the measure
through congress umli'r whip and spur. Wo
will nut ask to pass the bill by a suspension
of the rules but will appeal to the democrats
to make the debate as short as possible.
"Do you think there will bo much of n fight
for the adoption of amendments ? "
"Yes , " voplicd Chairman Morrill. "There
will undoubtedly bo a lot of amendments pro
posed , but I do not think any of them will bo
adopted. The friends of the bill know well
enough that the southern democrats and
some of the northern democrats would de
feat the measure by indirection , that is , bv
loading it down with objectionable amend
ments , but thu friends of the measure will
stand together for final action upon the bill
in its present form. Four-fifths of the mem
bers of the house believe that this bill is ns
liberal as our resources will now permit. Wo
might possibly pass a universal bill , but
in the first place wo cannot afford
to stand the expense , and In the
second place It might engender a feeling
against the pension business which would
result disastrously.
"Tho light of will bo to
great , course , re
duce the ago when names shall bo placed
upon the universal roll , there being many
who will contend that sixty-two years is too
old , but the soldiers understand that as rapIdly -
Idly as our resources will permit the univer
sal ago limit will bo reduced till all are on the
rolls. "
rnraoxT 1'uiii.io nun.niNa HILL ,
The conference committee on thu Fremont
publlu building bill has reached an agree
ment and reported the measure us It passed
both houses , appropriating fW.OOIt , but the
house contended Unit the appropriation should
bo left to n regular appropriation bill , the
measure simply authorizing the construction
of the building and limiting the amount. The
conference committee agreed that this should
bo done. This ivill leave the appropriation
to a regjlor appropriation bill , but there Is no
doubt that an appropriation will bo made.
The position of the senate In the matter
of the Fremont bill , providing that
the slto shall bo selected by a' special agent
of the treasury department and that there
may bo an appeal made by these directly in
terested , has been adopted by the conference
committeo. The action of the committee on
this bill indicates the action which will betaken
taken upon all other building bills. By mak
ing appropriations for public buildings in the
regular sundry civil appropriation bill here
after a correct record will bo kept of the
amounts going In that direction. If the policy
of the senate were to hold good nobody would
know how much money was appropriated for
public buildings.
Hero is the form of the Fremont bill as it
will become a law within a few days unless
vetoed by the president , which Is not likely :

IDAHO AND WYOMING STATKHOOD.
Delegate Dubois of Idaho being asked this
afternoon when bis territory would become astute
stuto , said :
"Unless the silver bill Is carried over In the
senate the Idaho bill will pass that body next
week , but the Intllcatloiis now are that the
silver bill will not bo tuken up this week. In
any event the Idaho bill follows immediately
after the silver bill and before the tariff is
taken up for consideration in the senate. The
tariff bill will como up In the house on next
Tuesday and will reach the senate within n
month , so that there is' but the shadow of a
doubt that Idaho will become u state within
three weeks. "
Air. Uubois is chairman of the republican
central committee for Idaho and Immediately
after the bill Is finally ; adopted by the senate
and it has passed the house ho will proceed to
bis state and open the campaign , determined
to elect u full sot of republican state ofllccrs
mid a majority of the legislature. It gees
without saying that Mr. Dubois will bo ono
of the first United S.tates senators from
Idaho. ' .
Delegate Carey of Wyoming , who is to bo
one of the first senators from that territory
when it becomes a state , said this evening :
"Wyoming is on thoisenato calendar ahead
of Idaho and will bo acted upon first , but the
two territories , ills understood , nro to come
into the union at the ifiuno time. Of course
the democrats will try to keep these measures
back by demanding thp consideration of
other measures in ad.'auco of them and they
may try to talk them to death , but I am con
fident that before the end of Alay Wyoming
und Idaho will both bo'etates. "

The special committee of the senate , which
for a couple of years bus been investigating

to recommending sonio remedy against trusts ,
pools and combination has for several days
.been industriously at work completing its re
port. Over ono thousand printed pages of
testimony will bo submitted and the report
embodying the recommendations of the com
mittee in the way of legislation will also bo
lengthy. It is probabli ) that the committee's
report will bo sent to tUo senate tomorrow or
Thursday. (
Senator Alaudorsou of Nebraska.who is ono
of the active members ofjtho committee , said
this afternoon that tjic ommittco would also
report a bill providing for an inspection of all
beef cattle designed to 1)6 killed for foreiRii
export. The dinicultvcint to be avoided , bo
stated , is the infrln' juiuat of states ! rights.
The states nro veiled with certain
police authorities wliich the federal govern
ment cannot abridge onintorrupt in any way ,
but it is believed there will bo no constitu
tional objection to a hw providing that cattle
shall be slaughtered foV export and the In
spection of cattle exported alive , as that will
como under the interstate commerce clause
of the constution.
The committee contends that there is no
object in exaniing meat niter it Is slaughtered ,
as disease cannot bo discovered in a dead an
imal with anything like the certainty that
follows the inspection of live cattle , while in
the latter instance looses may bo overcome
by saving diseased cattlo" from the slaughter
and permitting them to bo cured.
The committee will recommend a joint
resolution directing the president to open
negotiations with Great Britain for the pur
pose of having the British laws so modified
that beef cattle on foot may bo passed
through Canada without ; slaughter. This Is
intended to encourage the exportation of
American cuttle on .foot ) . The bill which the
committee will recommend will also contain
provisions prohibiting' monopoly in the ex
portation of cattle , m tire matter of capacity
of steamships and sailing vessels , bv making
thu applications and thu consideration of ap
plications for room on shipboard competitive ,
thus preventing largo exporters from taking
up all of thocapacity of snips to the exclusion
of other exporters. The bill will provide
that clearance papers sliall bo refifsed unless
the ships have opened to fair competition
their capacity for cattle accommodation. The
committee differs on some of the details of
the bill , but on general points it is said they
will stand solidly together.

are now going on thotij between the so-called

officers shall bo t'reo from all factionol infill-
once.s. Ho thinks that it will not bo long be
fore the territory will bo an applicant for
statehood and ho is anxious that these officers
shall bo as disinterested in their duties to the
government us these of any other state now

apply , therefore , for any position under the
government of the new jorritory.

The Oklahoma Krrors ,
WASHINGTON , April 29. There was a spirited
and heated discussion In the house today
when Air. Pierce of Tennessee , rising to n
question of personal privilege , denied the
statement made a few days ago by Air. Evans
of Tennessee to the effect that there hud been
ballot shilling in his district. The speaker
ruled that this did not present a matter of
personal privilege. This resulted in some
sharp talk , in which the sneaker wns
contradicted by Messrs. Pierce and
Alills of Texas , who accused him
ot fraud. The speaker declared Air. Alills
out of order , whereupon ho responded :
"I am in order , and the speaker Is moro out
of order than the gentleman from Texas. The
ruling Is simply an outrage. "
The matter wns then dropped.
The senate ) resolution was concurred In con
cerning the irrigation of the arid lands of the
vultey of the Hio Grande.
The house then proceeded to consider the
bill removing the charge of desertion from
the record of William Duwson. This soldier
was a prisoner during thu war , and In order
to escape the hardships of prison life enlisted
In the confederate army and subsequently ro-
ttlrncd to the union army.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the bill providing for the classifica
tion of worsted cloths as woolens.
Air. Dingley said the object of the bill waste
to make clear a question which hud arisen
in regard to the classification of worsted
goods under the existing tariff and to correct
all doubt and misapprehension.
Air. Carlisle said the effect of the bill
would bo simply to raise the compulsory
duty on worsted cloths from -IB and
2t cents to ! ! 3 centa , thus
placing these goods on the same footing as
woolen cloths. The present secretary of the
treasury , in the face of the law , had decided
that no legislation wits necessary to correct
the inequality and that under the law ho
would direct the customs olllccrs to impose a
specific duty of 85 cents on worsted cloths.
The Importers paid the higher rate of duty
under protest. The circuit court of New
York decided that the higher rate was un
authorized and "tho decision would undoubt
edly bo afllrmcd by the supreme court.
The Importer would recover from the pubic
treasury all ho bad paid in excess
of IS or 24 cents , after having already added
that excess to the price to the consumer.
This could not bo prevented now , but con
gress could prevent the importers from con
tinuing this until the supreme court rendered
its decision. It was the duty of congress to
protect the people und the treasury against
tlds wrong.
Air. Alills said the secretary of the treas
ury's decision was a palpable violation of the
law. To save the government from plunder ,
authorized by the illegal act of the secretary ,
to save the people from the burden of paying
u duty twice the government and the people
had to yield. Palpably wrong us the bill was
it might be better to pass it than to have the
people pay the duty twice.
Air. AlcAlillen of Tennessee opposed tbo
bill.
bill.The
The committee then arose and Air. Dingloy
' moved Unit further debute bo limited to forty
minutes.
Air. AleAIillen thought this too short , and
the consequence was three roll calls before
tbo motion was agreed to. Another roll call
wits necessary to resolve the house back into
a committee.
Alessrs. Rdringer of Illinois , Wilson of
West Virginia and Breckciiridge of Ken
tucky opposed the bill.
Air. AlcICiuloy defended the decision of tlic
secretary of the treasury. The bill provided
for simple justice. It did not increase the
duty. The duly now paid was paid under
the decision of the secretary , and all the bill
did was to continue the collection of the duty
under the interpretation of the law given by
the secretary.
Air. Brcckenridgo of Kentucky offered an
amendment providing for free raw wool and
a duty of IKS percent ad valorem on worsted
and woolen clothes , after October 1 , 1SUO.
The chairman ruled the amendment out on
the point of order , on the ground Unit the
biirvoferrcd to the classification and not the
rates of duty.
Air. Brcckiiiridgo appealed , but the decis
ion was sustained by a vote of 7-1 to 8(5. (
The committee then uroso and reported the
bill to the house. No quorum being present ,
Air. Dingloy , in view of the fact of the repub
lican caucus , called for this evening at 70 : ! ! ,
moved an adjournment , which was carried.
After considerable debate the bill passed.
The postoftico appropriation bill was then
reported and placed on the calendar , after
which the house went into committee of the
whole on the bill providing for the classifica
tion of worsted clothes and woollens.
- Senate.
WASHINGTON , April 29. In the senate to
day , after the transaction of some routine
business of little public importance , the con
sideration of the land forfeiture bill was re
sumed.
Air. Plumb discussed Air. Call's amendment
ns to lands in Florida.
Air. Platt interrupted to offer n concurrent
resolution , which was agreed to , requesting
the president to return the Oklahoma bill. Ho
explained that owing to an error of his own
the word "west" had been used in place of
"east" in tbo description of the boundaries.
The consideration of the hind forfeiture
bill wns resumed. On motion to lay Air.
Cull's amendment on the table no quorum
voted ( yeas 27 , nays 14) , but as Air. Call
showed the presence of fifty-two members
Air. Sherman rose and said that whenever a
quorum was present ana the vote did not dis
close that fact ho should insist upon the sen
sible rule thatsoiiators present und not voting
should bo counted.
Air. Blackburn asked if Air. Sherman in
tended to disregard pairs , and if the rules of
tlm senate authorized the presiding olllcorto
do that which the speaker of the house hud
been engaged in doing.
Air. Sherman said ho would not break
pairs , but it was the duty of every person
not paired to vote. Ho thought such senators
being present and constituting n quorum
should bo announced by the chair , and that
oven the rule adopted by tbo house of repre
sentatives was in exact accordance with the
senate rules and with the constitution.
After some further debate the question was
again taken up and Air. Call's amendment
was laid on the tublo by a strict party vote-
yeas : ! ! ) , nays 18.
Air. Alitody offered an amendment , which
was agreed to , declaring that the act should
not bo construed to confer any right on any
state , corporation or person to lands exempted
In thn grants. The bill then passed without
division.
Air. AlcPhcraon Introduced a bill granting
a pension of SiHM a year to the widow of
General AlcClellaii. Keferred.
The senate then proceeded to the consider
ation of the Mcklnloy administrative cus

WASHINGTON , April 29. President Harri
son has vetoed the house bill authorizing the
construction of an addition to the public
building at Dallas , Tex. , at a cost ofH,000. ( ) .
The bill as originally introduced fixed $100-
000 as the limit of expense and the president
cites a letter from the supervising architect
of the treasury that an extension of ample
dimensions could bo erected for $100,000. The
building for wliich the extension is proposed
cost ? I2.VOOO and was only completed last
year. The president says , In part :
"I am not unfriendly to a liberal annual ex
penditure for the erection of public buildings
where the safety and convenience of thu
transaction of public business demands it and
the state revenues will permit. It would bo
wiser , in my opinion , to build more and less
costly houses , and to fix by general law the
amount of the annual expenditures for tlds
purpose and some order of preference for the
cities asking for public buildings. But in
view of the pending legislation looking to a
very largo reduction of our revenues and the
urgency and necessity for a largo Increase of
our expenditures In certain directions ,
1 nm of the opinion that appropriations
for the erection of publlu buildings and
all kindred expenditures should bo kept tit the
minimum until the effect of otliorprahato leg
islation is accurately measured. The erection
of public buildings is largely a matter of local
necessity and convenience , while expenditures
for enlarged relief and recognition of the sol
diers and sailors of the late war , fornccessary
coast defense and for the extension of our
commerce with other American states are of
universal necessity and involve considera
tions , not of convenience but of justice , honor ,
safety and the general prosperity. "
