MatterH.
CiMCArio , Juno 20. The crisis of the big
strike of the Illinois Central tr.iin men was
reached this evening. After an all day ses
sion the conference between the strikers'
committee and the officials ended with a posi
tive refusal on the part of the company to
discharge Superintendent Russell. This was
the ultimatum so tar us the company is con
cerned.
When the conference broke up the men
went nt once to the strikers' headquarters to
report the result.
Speculation was rlfo ns to whether n gen
eral strike throughout the Illinois Central
system would bo ordered nnd a gigantic
struggle ensue.
The strikers backed down on their refusal to
carry the newsboys to Jackson park. In the
afternoon yesterday Conductor Penllcld of
the committee of strikers promised Suporin-
_ tcndent Daniels that tno Waifs' mission
boys would rldo over the Illinois Central
Later his associates on the committee overruled -
-ruled him and decided that no exception in
favor of the newsboys could bo made. They
stood firmly by the agreement to run no
train. Tills morning Penlleld urged his fel-
low-commlttccmcn to take the Waifs' mission
to the park and back , declaring that it
would create public sentiment in favor of the
strikers. Finally an agreement was reached
nnd ono of the strikers led the boys proces
sion to the suburban depot. The lads
boarded the Illinois Central cars in waiting
and the strikers managed the engine and
posted the brakemen on the train. The boys
nro the first passengers the road has carried
since'the strike began.

WASHINGTON , D. O. , June 20.1
A growl Is heard here from Nebraska and
other land offices because the government
won't allow "rent" to receivers and regis
ters. The fact Is that the appropriations
have never been sufllclcnt to make this allow
ance to all the land offices , hcnco the practice
bus been to allow rent to such land ofllccs
only as were doing less than n maximum busi
ness and to allow clerk hlro to ofllces
doing moro than a maximum. Should
the business at any land ofllco
fall so low that clerks nro not
necessary tlio rental Item will bo allowed.
Last year the appropriation for 105 local land
ofllces was $1S.,000 ) , while this year the bouso
has cut the total for 121 land offices down to
$175,000 , or $3,000 less thairlastyearalthough
there is an Increase of eighteen moro land
ofllces. Tills Is 50,000 less than the amount
really necessary , so says Land Commissioner
Grofr , and Senator Manderson will look into
the matter.

There can now bo very little If any doubt
that the house committee on elections will
report in favor of unseating" Clifton H.
Breckenndgo of the Second district of Ar
kansas. During his speech on the election
bill in the house this afternoon Chairman
Howell reviewed the Breckenridgo case in
such a way ns to indicate that the committee
Intends to report against the sitting member.
Ho said , among other things , that the
voters had been Intimidated by a dis
play of artillery and after repub
licans had cast their ballots the
boxes were stolen so that the franchise of the
opposing party might bo thrown out. It Is
thought the committee will recommend that
the salary of the office ( $10,000) ) shall bo paid
to the children of John M. Clayton , who ran
against Breckenridgo and who was mur
dered while taking testimony in his contest.
Nl'.nPS COHltUCTIXO.
It is probable that the president will send
back to congress for correction.tho dependent
pension bill. The measure has been sent to
the interior department for comparison and
analysts as to phraseology , etc. In the llrst
section the word "sailor" is omitted in two
instances so as to provide only for the consid
eration of claims of dependent parents of sol
diers and the widows of soldiers. Only the
word "sailor" should bo Inserted in connec
tion with soldiers in each Instance. The second
end , third and fourth sections of tlio bill arose
so fmined that it is believed the sailors would
bp provided for the same ns sold lei's , as the
bill stands , but inasmuch as some doubt may
arise it is likely that the bl i'vvill go back to
congress for correction , which would be
promptly made.
TIIU NATIONAL EI.RCTIOX LAW.
As was expected , the debute upon the na
tional election law created considerable of a
stir in the house today. U was opened by
Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts , who Introduced
the llrst measure upon the subject , who is
nnu of the authors of the measure under dis
cussion , and who has made u close study of
the question for years. Ho submitted nlotof
figures showing that while in Kansas , Ohio ,
Indiana and the northern and western states
gcnor.illy , there were cast from -10,000 to
110,000 votes at congressional elections , in
Georgia , Mississippi , Texas mid other south
ern states , congressional elections were
held where only from 'J,000 , to
10,000 votes were cast. There
was only ono explanation for this continued
condition of affairs voters wcro kept away
from the polls , their votes suppressed or tlio
districts had a smaller representation of voters
ers than the law requires.
' Chairman Howell of Illinois made a largo
number of similar statements. Tlio only man
who attempted to explain the cause of tlio
snmll vulo at congressional elections in the
south was Mr. Crisp of Georgia. Ho said
the people did not tulro interest in congres
sional elections , that they remained away
from the polls , and that if they did not want
to vote and Imvo their votes counted as cast
it was the fault of the voters and no law
could compel them to attend the elections.
Mr. Kowell replied that the object of the
bill under discussion was to induce the people
to vote by guaranteeing them safety at tlio
polls and a fair count , to which no response
was attempted , but the republican side
smiled audibly and the hundreds of colored
men in the galleries applauded so vigorously
that the chair had to admonish them to de
sist. The burden of the complaint of the
democratic members against the bill is that
tlio cortllicates of the supervisors are made
prlniafuclo evidence of election and the clerk
In making up the roll of the house will scat

During the debate on Wyoming's admission
this afternoon Senator Paddock challenged
Senator Jones'statement that the prelimi
naries to Wyoming's adoption of the consti
tution wcro unheard of and unusual and tlio
vote cast for the constitution absurdly snmll
on the basis of the population claimed. Ho
took the floor ami quoted the experience of
Nebraska in advocacy of the Wyoming bill ,
explained the steps taken prior to Nebraska's
admission and showed tlio comparatively
snmll vote cast for statehood. Senator Pail-
dock insisted that the absence of opposition
always results in a light vote , as it did in
Nebraska and Wyoming , and made a strong
plea for the admission of the territory. Ho
was antagonized by Senator Heagan , who
read from the records the Nebraska enabling
net of 1SO-I , which ho claimed alone made pos
sible the admission of the state. Ho sub
sided without a protest when Senator Pad
dock called his attention to the fact that the
convention which assembled under the en
abling net adjourned within an hour without
action and that it was two years later be
fore stops wore taken through the territorial
legislature for the admission of Nebraska as
a state.

Congressman Loilgo of Massachusetts Opens
the Debate in the Home.
A FLIGHT OF ORATORY FROM THE SOUTH ,
Tlia Senate Uesume.s Confederation of
the Hill for the Admission ol'
A Vote to beTaken
Taken Today.
WASIIIXOTOX , June CO. In the house , upon
motion of Mr. Duuncll of Minnesota , the
house bill with the senate amennmcnts
authorizing the construction of n bridge
ncrooss the Mississippi river ut Winona ,
Minn. , passed.
The house bill was passed granting fifteen
days' leave to clerks In first and second-class
postonices.
The regular order being demanded Mr.
Lodge of Massachusetts began the debate
upon the national election bill ,
Ho proceeded to sketch the bill
in outline. nnd said the net
which it was proposed ; to extend had been
called into existence by the glguntio frauds
in the city of New York prior to 1870 and
1871. There were other cities nnd districts
where the law was needed. The other side
hud criticized frauds committed in northern
cities. Ho would put a secret ofllclal ballot
in every election district , because ho believed
that was the only way to stop the use of
money in elections. If the belief that such a
thing as a fair election in the south was un
known , was true , then it was high time the
United States should put n stop to
the evil if it had to cxcrclso every
power the constitution put into its hands.
No Intelligent and fair-minded man would
deny that there hud been frauds In the north.
Where wrong doing occurred it Is where ouo
party sought to get ahead of the other by
vulgar means. As to the south , it was
largely a question of race. Tlio negro prob
lem was ono of the gravest before tlto Ameri
can people. It was ono In which all were
concerned and were responsible , whether
living in the north or the south , The bill
hud been called revolutionary. The revolu
tion was to bo found in the speeches ho read ,
speeches which showed that constitutional
representation did not exist. Tlio national
government must extend to every citizen the
equal rights which the constitution guar
anteed.
Mr. Hcmphtll of South Carolina argued
that it was unconstitutional. It was not na
tional , but sectional. There was no more in
iquitous provision in the bill than the one
providing for the appointment of au unnum
bered number of men absolutely under the di
rection of a supervisor. Ho hud examined in
detail the provisions relating to supervisors
and said that the whole bill seemed framed
against the voters and in favor of the super
visor. A good deal had been said about the
new south , but what the country reallv
needed was n new north , a north that will
take a view suggested by facts and not by
liroconeeivcd prejudices ; that does not be
lieve it has all the virtue and the rest of the.
country none ; that would not waste
all its time in remedying a sup
posed abuse of distant places ; that
would not think an Anplo-buxon in the
bouth always in the wrong when ho has any
trouble with the African. What was the use
of talking about a free ballot in Kansas when
the stuto had boon so gerrymandered that
M7K)0 ( ) democrats of Kansas had never been
represented on this iloori
Mr. Kelley of Kansas asked : "How do
you expect to get a democrat here when there
are not four democratic counties in the
state I" \
Mr. Hemphill It docs not matter about
how many democratic counties there are. The
democrats have never been represented here.
If there was u fair representation on this floor
the proportion would be 10 ! ) democrats , 154
republicans , live prohibitionists and two
labor men. Messrs. Hiscock and Evarts were
on the floor of the senate misrepresenting the
state of New York nnd the same
was true of Connecticut , which had been
democrats for years. When the republicans
of the north had taken the beam out of their
own eyes and fixed the laws so the people's
wish might be honestly expressed , when
they practiced as they preached , southern
democrats would receive them with open
arms. Under this system which it was pro
posed to revive the people of the south had
been robbed some years iigo by picked vil-
liaus of the north , backed by the United
States army. The soutli did not want to bo
put in that position again. "We , " Mr.
Hcmphill continued , "know wo must either
rule that country or leave it. Now. for my
self , before the people of the United States
and before .God , in nil reverence , 1 swear wo
will not leave it. [ Applause. ] I do
not hesltato to say that a col
ored man has as many rights as I have ,
but be cannot have his rights and mine , too ,
and this law is intended to put him again in
control of the southern states , Intended to
awaken that race prejudice which Is fust
dying , intended to bring about that constant
irritation and clash between the two colors in
the south which will retard Its growth and bo
destructive of the very principles of human
government. "
Mr. Hcmphill was loudly applauded by the
democrats ns ho sat down nnd nearly all of
them pressed forward to congratulate him.
Mr. Bingham , from the postofllco commit
tee , reported the senate amendments to the
postofllco appropriation bill nnd the house
non-concurred in them.
Consideration of the election bill was re
sumed and Mr. IJowell of Illinois addressed
the house In favor of It. Ho said the number
was not few of these who believed that six
yours ago Cleveland was counted into the
presidential chair by corrupt olllcials at tlio
polls in his own state , to say nothing of the
suppression of votes in the south , and the
number was increasing every day of these
who believed it. If that belief honestly ex
isted ought it not to bo the wish of every
representative of the people to so conduct
elections as to make the churgo Impossible of
belief in the future ! It was everywhere
in northern circles believed that the black
vote of the southern states was suppressed
and the fifteenth amendment nullified ,
Mossrs. Dates of Alabama , Crisp of Geor
gia , Lewis of Mississippi and others took oc
casion at this point to state that the elections
In their districts wcro perfectly fair.
Mr. Rowcll declared that In some districts
of the south bodies of armed men went from
poll to poll and destroyed the ballot boxes , in
other * the boxes were stuffed and the true
balloU thrown away , In others military com
panies were organized to tire a cannon , morn
ing and night , "to let the darkies know that
there is going to bo a fair election. " Cabins
of negroes were fired Into , and If that were
not successful and the negiocs turned out the
military officers made the polls n target for
target practice.
Mr. Oiites of Alabama asked for the names
of the districts and Mr. Rowell mimed three
in Mississippi and ono In Arkansas.
This brought Mr. MeRuo to his feet with n
strong denial and soon ho and Mr. Breckin-
rldgo were talking at the same tlmo.
When quiet was restored Mr. Rowell
finished his speech and Mr. Lchlbaek ( re
publican ) spoke againgst the bill. Such n
law would bring about a conflict of authority
and a deplorable state of affairs.
Mr. Tucker of Virginia also spoke against
the bill and the house adjourned.
( Senate.
WAHHIXOTOX , Juno 2(1 , In the senate ,
among the bills reported from committees
nnd placed on the calendar was the house bill
to authorize the secretary of the Interior to
procure nnd submit to congress proposal ! ) for
the sale of the western part of the Crow In
dian reservation In Montana.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Cull directing the secretary of the senate to
prepare n tublo showing the number of bills
Introduced by each senator and the number
of them passed , was taken up , and Mr. Ed
munds moved to luy tbo resolution ou the ta
ble.
ble.After
After an explanation by Mr. Cull of his mo
tive in ottering the resolution , the motion to
lay on the tnblo was agreed to.
The house bill for the admission of Wyom
ing as n state was taken up and Mr. Jone * of
Arkansas addressed the senate. Ho declared
himself In favor of the admission of Wyom
ing nnd of nil other territories except Utah
when they hud tuifllclont population nnd
sunielcnt wealth to Justify their assumption
of state governments. But ho was unwilling
to see Wyoming admitted In the way now
proposed , and ho proceeded to state the rea
sons why In his opinion the iwmiigo of the
pending bill would bo exceedingly unwise.
There was no authority for holding a con
stitutional convention , Mr. Jones said , and
ho opposed the participation of women in
the vote on the convention. Ho opposed the
constitutional provisions for woman suffrage ,
for tbo holding of real estate by aliens and
for compulsory education. In conclusion Mr.
Jones declared himself In favor of passing tin
enabling act for all the territories except
Utah and admitting them as states after they
had compiled with the provisions of the act ,
and ho moved as a substitute for the pending
bill ono for such an enabling course. In the
further course of Ids arguments Mr. Jones
referred to the wives of Mormons In Wy
oming and Idaho voting and said in answer
to Mr. Morgan that ho did not know how
many wives n Mormon had to vote with him.
Mr. Stewart replied to Jones and said it
would bo tlmo enough to act on the coses of
the other territories when they were beloro
the senate. They were not before it now.
Mr. Reagan opposed the bill. Ho argued
against the provision for woman suffrage , tlio
effect of which was , ho said , to make men of
women and co-relatlvcly to inakfe women of
men. It was only latterly that th ? people
had become wiser limn their creator and
wiser than all generations that preceded
them.
At the close of Mr. Reagan's speech the
understanding was reached that the vote on
the bill and amendments should begin ut 4
o'clock tomorrow.
Mr. Edmunds wanted It understood that it
did not amount to an order of the senate.
There ought to bo ono body in the country ,
ho said , where thcro was freedom of debate.
The following bills wcro taken from the
calendar and passed : House bill to provide
for a term of court nt Danville , 111. ; senate
bill to aid the state of South Dakota to sup
port n school of mines , donating fiO per cent
ot the monov received from tlio sale of min
eral land not to exceed f 12.0UO a year nor to
exceed the amount contributed by the state.
After executive session the senate ad
journed.

Tlio AVay Clear Tor an Advance.
CHICAGO , Jnno 20. JSpoeial Telegram to
Tin : Bii-.J : : For the first ttmo In four months ,
the way is apparently clear for an advance
In western r.ilca. Yesterday's meeting en
countered no opposition in advancing through
rates to the northwest from Interior points.
It was consequently decided this morning to
cull a general moc'ting of all western lines to
take action next Wednesday. At that time
the committee appointed some time slnco ou
advancing rates and of which Vice 1'rcsident
Nowtfcan of tlio Northwestern Is chairman ,
will imiUo Its report.
This report goes fully Into the cause of the
reduction and the necessity for an advance in
rates. Figures show that this year's remark
able tonnage is the only thing which has kept
western roads from each "bowing a deficit.
To provide for the future , therefore , and es
pecially to avoid keeping tlio reduced basis
in effect until It Is thought it will permanent ,
the following advances are recommended t
To St. Paul and Minneapolis an advance
in the proportions of through r.Ue-s from in
terior points to the present local basis
of10 cents ; at the close of naviga
tion that the proportions of through
rates from the seaboard bo advanced from
the present 22 cent scale to 5B cents and limb
the local basis bo advanced
present of10 cents
vanced to lit ) cents ; to Missouri river gate
ways from Chicago that the present local
basis of (10 ( cents bo advanced to 70 or 73
cents and that through rates bo advanced in
proportion.
There is hardly any question that the re
port of the committee will bo unanimously
adopted and tlio advanced scale go into effect
in tea days from next Wednesday.
