rumored change in the management of the

thnt ho hat assurances that in the spring ,
When the expected relief comes to the money
piarkot , ho will receive funds with which to
complete the road to Ogden. Ho says the
Jirescnt operating force must bo reduced , but
would neither nrtlrm nor deny the statement
that the Sioux City & Northern was to op-
crate the Una to O'Nell. General Manager
Mackenzie will In all probability leave the
road along with the othcn , nnd this gives
color to the story thnt the road is to bo op
erated by the Northern , its the greatly re-
tHu-cd force cannot do the work connected
iIth the operating of the line. The stock
holders here , however , nro confident that the
JIno will bo extended In the near future. 'Jho
fitory was nlso repeated hero again today

K'hc Strike on the Knxtrrn llllnolfl.
CHICAGO , Nov. 2i. [ Special Telegram to
itt'iiB Bun. ] The present strike on the Chicago
cage ft Kastern Illinois railroad was In
augurated by the conductors nnd brakcmcn
in the freight department. A strike in the
coal mines at Clay county , Indiana , caused
Hie crews of the Chicago & Indiana , coal road
to be pressed Into service to aid the Chicago

consisted of three brultemcn , and the em
ployes of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
tnado a demand that the train crows on thnt
toad bo Increased to the same number. The
complaints against the trainmen grow out of
the same demand.
The general manager of the Chicago &
'EasternIllinois ' tonight asserts thnt all trains
> vllljjo moving by morning. "The strike is
iiot ninoiitf our old and trusted employes , "
fcaid ho , "but was Inaugurated by u few
ngltntors who imagine they have a grievance
Against Trainmaster Bowman nnd who want
to dictate to the management of the load. "
" What of the demand for an increase In
the number of brnkumciil"
1 "If this demand had been made nt the gen
eral freight ofllco in proper form it would
liavo been considered , and if it was found
tlmttho demand wns well founded wo should
liavo certainly granted it. This haste in
starting u strike was in bad taste and the
ipldcr employes who suspended work pend
ing the settlement of the difficulty are dls-
custed with it and ready to go to work and
trust to tlio company to deal with the matter
properly. "
"Wnnt of Trainmaster Bowmanl"
"Ho is doing his duty so far as we know
find v > o shall not discharge him. Wo don't
Jut end to turn over the management of this
ji-oad to our employes. "

CIIICAOO , Nov. 21. The national world's
fair commission thU morning laid over for
future consideration the report of the com-
mlttco on ceremonies recommending a mili-
Lnry display. A resolution was passed favor-
inif action vtlth a view to securing the proper
appointment of two commissioners from
Alaska. There waV much discussion over
Lho resolution providing a separate exhibit
for tbo Afro-American race nnd it'was finally
referred to the executive committee. The re
port of the committee on awards recommend
ing bronze medals ana certificates instead of
money premiums was adopted.
At a meeting of the lady managers. Mrs.
General Logan urged that the business bo
hurried through. "Every day wo stay here , "
said she , "costs the nation over Jl.OOO. Lot
us do something nnd save ourselves from
ridicule. " The board then worked
Industriously on the formulation of its Ideas
of what it wanted to ask from the national
commission. Among the matters proposed
by the different members were : An adminis
trative building for the use of the board on
the fair grounds ; n separate building for. the
exhibition of wouiuns work ; the salary of the
secretary to bo $5,000 ; that every exhibit bo
accompanied with a statement specifying
whether it is or is not "produced in whole erIn
In part by female labor. "
The conference committee of the national
commission and local directory , after an all
day's session , adopted the report providing
for the bureau system. Fifteen chiefs of
bureaus and a director general will direct the
destiny of the world'5 fair. Eight
members of tbo commission nnd eight
of ttio directors will constitute n board
to settle any differences arising in the man
agement of the exposition. The chiefs of the
bureau will bo appointed by the director gen
eral subject to the approval of the commis
sion and directory The directory pays the
salaries and expenses of the bureaus. Ma-
torlal change or modification ol plans
of the building will bo made subject- the
approval of the Joint committee on
grounds and buildings. The bureaus
coincide with tUe department of the classi
fications svstein to which nro added the
hutcaus of forestry and forest products ,
publicity and promotion , nnd foreign affairs.
The latter bureau , however , will not inter
fere with the committee on foreign affairs of
the commission.
The foreign affairs committee recommended
the adoption of a sibcmo to establish n South
American bureau at Washington. Commis
sioner Thatcher of No\v York objected tnat
the gentleman whoi proposed tno plan per
sonally represented Secretary of State
Blaine. Ho ( Thatcher ) objected to
having the official seal of the commission
put on a matter purely political nnd which
was designed to futthor the political fortunes
of tno distinguished secretary. Governor
Waller of Connecticut said tlvero was not
any politics in the couaraittoo report. If Mr.
Blalno got any bei'.ollt through the action of
the committee in arranging South America
ho was entitled to it ) Pending discussion the
commission adjourned.

THE COMPTROLLER'S ' REPORT ,

Used by the Banks ,
WASHINGTON * , Nov. 21. The report of
Comptroller of the Currency Lacey covers
opctntlonsof the bureau for twclvo months ,
ending October ill. During this period 307
low banking associations were organized , llfty
hnvo gene into voluntary liquidation and nina
were placed In the bauds of receivers. The
ict Increase Is 818 , constituting a larger
; rowth than for any similar period slneo
ISiVi. The number of active banks October
Jl was ; ir > or. These banks have In capital
stock S059T32SIK ; bonds deposited to secure
circulation , SllOlOOrK)0 , ) , and bank notes outstanding -
standing ? 170,7r.-)0ia , Including $5J,700'J07
represented by lawful money deposited to re
deem circulation still outstanding. The gross
decrease In circulation during the year , In
cluding notes of gold banks nndfilled nnd
liquidating associations was f'J'J.Srt' rj , nnd
decrease of circulation secured by United
States bonds , $ .V2ISr > l9. At the last re
port tbo gross deposits of these banks ,
including amounts duo the batiks , was f..O I-
5W,0(7 ( ( ( ; loans and discounts Sl , ro,0-"JW7. (
Both those items show a great increase ever
nnv previous report.
The comptroller again calls attention to the
fact that the issue of circulating notes has become -
come unrcmuncrative on account of the high
premium commanded by federal bonds ; re
news the recommendation that the obligatory
deposit of bonds bo reduced ; the circulation
issued ho equal in amount to the par value of
Lho bonds pledged , and the ssml-aunual duty
be llxed nt one-fourth of one per cent per
annum. The passage of a bill to this effect ,
low pending In both houses , would at once
increase the volume of paper money by about
515,000,000 , which would In a marked degree
relieve the present monetary stringency.
Now associations could form more rapidly
without advancing the premium on bonds
necessarily purchased by the secretary of the
treasury for the sinking fund.
The passage of tbo act providing for the
purchase of silver bullion Is considered by
Lho comptroller tantamount to a declaration
thnt tno national banks nro not to bo called
upon to furnish additional circulation , evi
dently needed and a discussion of the meas
ures providing for the extension and perpet
uation of note Issues based on some new form
of security Is deemed inopportune.
The exhaustive statement of the proportion
tion of coin , paper money , etc. , used in bank
ing operations in 1831 and IS'J'J shows un In
crease of money equal to OS per cent , which
is deemed significant when considered in
connection with the present apparent in
sufficiency in tha amount of coin and paper
money in circulation.
The comptroller says it is evident the
lack of currency is greatly aggravated by the
retirement of national hnnlc notes , which
foim of paper clone possesses that clastic
property so essential in perfect circulation.
All the money Issued directly by the govern
ment is necessarily non-clastic by reason of
being in all cases available for the lawful
money reserve of the national banks and in
most cases possessing legal tender quality.
The comptroller says if the lapid extension
is a correct criterion , the national banking
system is more favorably regarded than
heretofore and the transactions of the year
have been attended by raoro than the average -
ago degree of success.

house nnd found Mrs. Marston
lying In the cellar in n pool of blood , still
alive , with her head battered In apparently
with an axe. lie summoned neighbors and
physicians , but the old woman died shortly
after being found. The surroundings would
indicate that she was first attacked
in the pantry nnd then either drugged
herself or was carried to the
cellar , ns there nro several pools of bloods
found on the floors and the walls are bespat
tered with it. The rnotivo for the crime Is
not apparent. The woman bud coiisidomblo

much with her and nothing Is missing.
Onts May Go With Corn.
CittcAcio , Nov. 21. It is considered doubt
ful if the now rate on oats to the seaboard ,
put in effect today by the trunk lines , will
stand. It Is reported the Pcnrla roads posi
tively refuse to make a 2. " centum rate on
oats , holding thnt It should bo no higher than
com. It was the Peoria boird of trade thnt
lirst protested against the separation of corn
mid oats in the adjustment of grain rates , and
it is likely the trunk lines will bo forced to
put oats m the corn class.
