Labor won a notable victory In the cir

Interest In the wage question wherein
the Union Pacific receivers and the road's
employes have been opposing parties ,
readied Its height yesterday when Judges
Caltlwell and Illner assumed their places
on the bench in the largo court room It )
the federal building. . Anxiety was writ
ten on the faces of nearly nil the Inter-
csled persons in llio room , nud the room
wns crowded with Ihu friends of bolh sides.
*
Whllo Iho employes were rcpresenled by
their chiefs and delegctllons , Iho legal pro
fession had seemingly a larger rcprosenla-
tloii. Beside Judge Tlmrslon and Allorney
Yalidevenler of Cheyenne as representatives
ot the company , C. J. Greene of the Bur
lington was present. Banker J. H. Mlllard ,
ono of the directors of the Union Pacific ,
looked on Interestedly , while Messrs. Dick
inson and McConnell listened with atten
tion to the reading of thu opinion , which
creales a now forum wherein the rights of
labor and capital will meet upon equal
grounds.

realize what a remarkable victory was In

leading men of both Interest ! ) shook hands
with the fearless jurist , Mr. Vronion thankIng -
Ing tlie court for Its decision. "No thanks
nro necessary , Mr. Vroman , " responded
Judge Caldwell , "when a court does Its duty
tclearly without fear or favor , It Is not de-
'serving of any thanks. The path was well
tla/.ed , all the court had to do was to reIterate -
Iterate the principles laid down from the
beginning , nnd that it has sought to do In
Its feeble way. "
QUESTION OF DELEGATES' EXPENSES.
Just before court adjourned T. Fulton
Qanlt of North Platle asked the court to
fix the expense account for Iho men in view
of Ihe fact that there were differences of
opinion. Instantly Judge Caldwell re-
epondcd , "You ought to bo ashamed ot your
self to ask the court to participate In this
matter. Don't come hero with the statement
that you cannot agree as to the expenses. "
Then turning to the room , "Is ono of the
receivers hero ? No ! There Is General
Manager Dickinson , you may arrange with
1,1m as to expenses which will cover the
cost of average living In Omaha , which can
bo easily ascertained. "
General Manager Dickinson nodded his ap
proval , at the same tlmo smiling over the
anxiety Gantt displayed In having his ex
penses paid by thu receivers ot the Union
1'aclllo.
As to the far-reaching character of the
opinion the utterance of Attorney George L.
Hodges , who represented the engineers , Is
most timely : "It Is thu greatest judgment

WHAT THE DECISION MEANS.
Weed from Its legal verbiage , the opinion
continues In force the present rules nnd regu
lations governing tlio road men , except where
the different organizations voluntarily agreed
to modify the "overtime" features of thu
present schedules. It modifies the orders of
Judges Dundy , Itlner and Hullett made in
Ihu wugu cases , the former ordering the re
ceivers to put the new rules and regulations
In force , the latter retraining the enforce
ment of the new schedules pending a hear
ing between the receivers and the men. It
lays down stringent rules as to Intoxication
on the part of the employes , who are held to
bo servants of the court. And It lays down
new principles of arbitration between the
couteiiillng lorces ofngus and enpltnl , being
In direct opposition to tlio opinion of Judge
Jenkins | u the Northern 1'aclllo w.igp matter ,

ny way. Scholarly and dignified. It ex-
liuusls the questions which have been bit
terly fought In many Instances since the
century begnn , and Is u complete victory
for the rights of the tolling musses.
How different Is the termination ot this
case with tlie scenes enacted in this city In
the eatfy 'SOa , At that time a dltllculty
between the men and the Vnlon Pacific
company was the occasion of tying up the
liualiiet-ii of the road In this city and for

I'nlt Te.tl of .Inilgn fiilihvell'A Cnllng on the
\Viigu ( jlicHtlon.
Judge Caldwell , with Impressive force , rend
the opinion of the court , In which Judge
lllncr concurs , as follows :
On tlje 13th day of October , 1S93 , on n bill
filed for that purpose- , this court took ' .nlo
Hi possession , control and management thn
t'nlon Pacific Hallway system , embracing
the Union Pacific railway proper , and some
fourteen other constituent and allied roads ,
which together constitute what Is known as
tlio t'nlon Pacific system.
Whether thu bill states n cnso of equltnblo
cognizance Justifying the appointment ot re-
'eetvers Ims not been mooted on this hearing ,
nud we , therefore , exvcis no opinion upon
that question.
The system of which this court nnfliirncd
the management nnd control comprised 7,700
miles of railroad and about 3,000 miles of
water communication , and had in Its employ
ovur 22,000 men. The great body of these
men had been In the employ of the company
for a considerable length of time , some of
thorn for as much ns n quarter of n century.
The relation of these men to the company
and their rate of wages were determined In
the main by certain written rules , regula
tions and schedules , some of which had been
In force for more than a quarter of a century ,
and all of which had been In force ,
substantially as they stand today , for
a period of eight years nnd more.
These rules , regulations and schedules
wcro the result of free and voluntary con
ferences , held from tlmo lo time , betweei.
the managers of the railroad and the officers
and representatives of the several labor or
ganizations representing the men In the
different subdivisions or branches of the
Fcrvlcu , viz. : The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers , the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen , the Order ot Hallway Conductors ,
the Order of Hallway Telegraphers , the Union
Pacific Employes' nssuo.latlon and the
Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen. These
labor organizations , like the rules , regula
tions and schedules , had become established
Institutions on Ihls system many years be
fore the appointment ot the receivers. Two
of the ablest railroad managers ever In the
service of this system , and probably as
able as any this country has ever produced
Mr. S. II. II. Clark and Mr. Edward Dickin
son , now general manager of the road tcs-
llfy that these labor organizations on this
system hnd Improved tlio morals and ef
ficiency of the men and had rendered valua
ble aid to Iho company In perfecting and
putting Into force tlio rules and regulations
governing Hie operation of tlio Union Pacific
railway , which , confessedly , have made It
one of the best managed and conducted
roans in the country. The managers of this
great transcontinental line testify that It
'lias been their policy to bring U up to the
highest .standard , of etllelency and to afford
to passengers and property transported over
It all the security and protection attainable
by the exercise ot the highest degree of In
telligence on tlio part ot those engaged In the
operation of Its trains , and they cheerfully
bear testimony to tlio fact that their efforts
In this direction have been seconded and
materially aided by the labor organizations
which are represented In this hearing. The
good opinion of tlio men entertained by the
managers seems to bo shared by the re
ceivers , for in their petition to the court In
this matter they declare : "That the em
ployes , generally , upon the Union Pacific
system are reasonable , Intelligent , peaceable
and law-abiding men. "
INITIAL ACTION OF THE RECEIVERS.
Amo ig 'tlie rules and regulations referred
to and In operation when the receivers were
appointed was'one To the effect that no
change should bu made In the rules and
regulations and rate of wages without first
giving to the labor organizations , whose
members would be affected by such change ,
thirty days notice , or other reasonable notice
ticeOn tlm 27th day of January , 1891 ,
the receivers , without giving the men. or
the utllccrs of the labor organizations rep
resenting them , any notice , filed In this
court a lengthy petition stating , among
other things : "That as receivers herein
they have , from the tlmo they entered upon
their duties as such , as far as consistent
with thu proper discharge of their duties
to the public , and with justice to their
employes. Inaugurated economies In every

operating expenses as far as possible , and
produce results fair to all those parties

ceivers. Your petitioners further repre
sent that they conceive It to bu their duty
to make and carry Into effect such reduc
tions and such icfarnis of the rules , regu
lations and schedules without application
being first made to the court in that behalf -
half ; " and stating further that they hud
"revised the schedules aforesaid , upon prin
ciples which have seemed to them Just ,
right and proper. " With this petition the
receivers filed what they termed rules , regu
lations and schedules , which they asked the
court to approve and order that they bo
put Into effect on the 1st day of March ,
ISO I , and the "employes directed to con
form thereto. " The petition also prayed
for a very extended Injunction against the
employes. On the day tha petition was
Hied the court entered un order declaring
that the rules , regulations and schedules
prepared by the receivers nnd filed with
their petition were "prlma facie reason
able and just , " and directed that they be
come operative on thu Ut day of March ,
1S9I , and ordered an Injunction to Issue
as prayed tor In tlie ptUllon. Upon the
presentation ot this petition and the order
made thoreun to tlm United Slates circuit
courts for the districts of Wyoming and

fect lo thu order In those districts for the

WASHINGTON. April 5. In the senate to
day Mr. Hill of New York gave notlcu that
nt 2 o'clock next Monday ho would submit
a few remarks on the pending tariff bill.
Some amusement was created by the In
troduction of the following resolution by
Mr. George of Mississippi :
Hesolved , That In view of the recent
depressed financial condition of the people
ple , the low price of ngrlcullurnl and
other product * , the Indebtedness of
the people and the Increased value ot
money , the committee on judiciary be di
rected to prepare a bill to reduce by 20
per cent all olllclal Incomes not protected
by thu MtatuteH of the I'nlted Slales.
Tlio resolution was referred , In accordance
with Its terms , whllo some of tlio senators
Indulged In good-natured badinage at the ex
pense ot Mr. Oeorge , Senator Gray remark
ing , sotto voce , tliu It was worse than an
Income tax.
At the rcipipst of Senator Hanshrough ol
North Dakota the senate took up the bill
appropriating $1,000,000 for the destruc-
lion of the Russian thistle. Senator Mills
of Texas spoke In opposition to It , basing his
objection upon the spreading tendency
toward paternalism in the government. II
the Russian thistle made Its appearance In
the District of Columbia It would be the
duty of congress under the constitution to
take action to suppress It , but outside ol
the District congress could not go.
Mr. Kyle of South Dakota proposed an
amendment providing the sum appropriated
should be divided pro rata among the states
where the thistle Is found , according to the
estimated cost of exterminating It , and that
If any part of the appropriation should re
main unexpended after the destruction It
should be divided pro rata among the stales
Interested for the purpose of preventing Its
return.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska supported the bill ,
calling attention to the fact that the -vecd was
not indigenous , but hud gained a foothold
hero under tlio laws of the nation the Im
migration laws.
Senator George of Mississippi favored Mr.
Kyle's amendment.
Senator Harris expressed some surprise
that the senator from Mississippi ( George )
should give voice to such undemocratic the
ories as that Hie general government should
Interfere with the stale governments.
. "I am not making this speech lo make It
plausible to the senator from Tennessee , "
replied Mr. George. "I know \Vhat his views
are , and I know lliey arc not In accordance
with the constllullon. " ( Laughter. )
"I am very glad to hear that oracular an
nouncement , " replied Mr. Harris , deliber
ately. "Let It go on record. "
"Whether It Is oracular or not , It la true , ' . '
was Ihe retort of Mr. George.
At 2 o'clock the tariff bill was laid before
the senate as the unfinished business , and
the thistle bill went over without action.
Mr. Peffer was recognized , but Mr. Call
asked the senator to yield for a motion to
go Into executive session , which Mr. Peflcr
agreed to , on condition It would not last long
and that he should bo entitled to the floor
'when the senate resumed its open session.
Mr. Harris , however , who asked Mr. Peffer
not to yield , as he did not' wish the tnrliT
bill interfered with , objected to the motion
of Mr. Call and demanded Iho yeas and nays.
The roll was called and Iho motion prevailed
by a vote of 31 to 19 and the senate went
into executive session , which lasted until
C:10 : p. m. , when the senate promptly ad
journed.

WASHINGTON , April G' . The house today
refused to accept the senate amendment to
the bU ( requiring railroads In Oklahoma to
establish stations at government townslles
and another conference was ordered.
The senate bill lo give effect lo the
awards of the Paris tribunal , prescribing the
regulations for the protection of fur seals in
Bering sea , was passed. Messrs. Bryan of
Nebraska and Swanson of Virginia made
personal explanations , to the effect that had
they been present when the vote on the
seigniorage bill was taken they would have
voted against sustaining the president's veto.
Mr. Chllds of Illinois asked unanlmouK
consent for the consideration of the bill for
tlio appointment of an additional judge for
the northern district of Illinois.
Mr. Holman of Indiana objected.
Mr. Sayers of Texas then moved lhat the
house go Into committee of the whole for
the consideration of the general appropri
ation bills , and pending HIN , ! asked unanimous
consent that It consider the urgent defi
ciency bill.
Mr. Heed of Maine objected.
The house went Into conimltlec of Iho
whole , and- after some good-natured banter
by Mr. Heed on the subject of tlio "billion
dollar congress , " the urgent deficiency bill
was taken up.
The bill , which curries something over
$11,000,0011 , was passed , with one Important
amendment , providing for the continuation
of tlm work of thu census bureau until March
4 , IS'.ij , and providing for the publication
In a condensed volume of 250 pages ot an

WASHINGTON , April G. Representative
Hall ot Missouri , who was delegated by the
committee on banking and currency to write
the favorable report on the Cooper bill to
tax greenbacks , said , concerning the bill :
"I regard the mearnro as a. most Klgiitllcnnt
one. Tlio greenback was originally the pee
ple's money , but of lut It IIUH become the
pel of HIP national banks. They have kept
It from circulation , as Its freedom from tax
ation mndo It more desirable lo keep In tlie
bank vaults limn silver or gold , which ara
subject to taxation. The anxiety of the
banks to get hold of greenbacks hue been
so great that a fraudulent practlcn has
grown up. There are only $34(1,000,000 ( of
greenbacks in clrculaltoii , yet the returns
show lluit. banks and Individuals claim ex
emption on $ JOuo.OOO.OC ) of greenbacks. The
manner of conducting tlio fraud Is simple.
A pieKago of greenbacks Is passed from
bank lo haul ; , ahead of the tax assd-sor ,
and r.t cadi bank he exempts tlm name
package of greenbacks. The Cooper bill will
put on end to this practice.
"As affecting Iho currency fiuentlon In
general , the bill Is also Impoitant. At pres
ent coin money Is subject to taxation , and ,
ns stiver Is tin greaicst coin In circulation ,
silver b''ars the greatest burden of taxation.
This measure will icllevo silver from on
of thn many unjust discriminations made
against It. Paper moneys will pay the same
tax as slUer , nnd there will be nn further
reason for denying sliver access to the banks
and general circulation because of Iho pe
cuniary advantage of securing greenbacks.
The bill will undoubtedly pass. It bus twlc
panstHl the teiuilc by unanimous vote , and U
is In mobt uf tlio democratic state plat-
forms. ' '

PAUIS , Ajiril fi , Another bomb explosion
occurred hero lust owning near the Senate
cliiiinbur nlioitt 9 l > . in. The bomb was
placed In n Mower box on the window-sill of
thu restaurant opposite the Senate
chamber. It exploded with u tremendous
report and shattered alt the windows of the
restaurant , besides breaking the windows
In u number of oilier buildings. M. Tall-
lade , an artlsl , and 11 companion were In
jured by the explosion. A strong force
of military and police noon had posses
sion of the restaurant , and the olllclal In
vestigation began.
The opinion Is now generally expressed
that the police arc practically powerless to
prevent such affairs. Several persons have
been arrested upon suspicion of having been
connected with the outrage , but It Is known
that the police have no clew to the identity
of the criminal.
It Is now said -that there were only three
persons dining In the restaurant at the time.
The place was completely wrecked , nnd the
damage done to adjoining buildings Is also
qullo serious.
The waiter In the eafo who was wounded by
the explosion Is believed to bo dying , hut thu
other wounded persons. Including .M. Talll-
ade , are doing well , although the latter Is
suffering a greut deal owing to thu injury of
his eye and head. 1'ortlons of the missile
also struck M. Vllluor , the manager , on the
head , but did nnl injure his skull.
The report caused by the explosion of the
bomb was heard as far away as Asnlccrcz.
The report of SI , Glrard , chief of the muni
cipal laboratory , nays that the bomb was
chiefly charged with nllro-bpiizlue , with
which a quantity of dynamite was used.

LONDON' , April 5. Itcplylng to Sir George
Daden-I'owell today In the House of Com
mons , .Mr. Sydney lliixtoti said thu Canadian
government generally agreed with that of
Great Hritaln as to the terms of the tiering
sea bill , but the Canadian glvernmcnt ob
jected to Home of the details at the bill.
Sir Charles Hussell moved the second read
ing , dwelling on the fact that the position
taken by the late Lord Iddleslelgh on behalf
of Greut Hritaln had been constantly ad
hered to since. Sir Charles afterwards pro
ceeded to justify the government's decision
to submit the Ilerlng sea question to arbi
tration. Sir Charles declared the award es
tablished the claim that llrltlsh subjects
had been Injured by the seizures of their
vessels and ho took the opportunity to say
that President Cleveland had not been blow
to recognize that claim.
Mr. Ilalfour said the course of the govern
ment seemed wisp. It had not lost a single
mo * in moving the adoption of a bill
to i ' out Great Britain's obligations , ami
In " s tills act of International jusllco ho
as i is colleagues would give their hearty
nii4 . rl. * _
Sir George Baden-Powell strongly objected
to ttm treaty ; Sonm-of the .relations , ho de
clared , were ridiculous , whllo at the hams
time many Important points worn not
touched. "Fur seals , " he added , "could not
bo protected unless all modes of slaughter
were covered by the treaty , Sealing vessels
could fly the flags of nations oilier than
those to which they belonged and thus
escape the Jurisdiction of Great Hritaln and
the United States. The breeding grounds of
the fur seals belonging to Russia and Japan
were entirely Ignored. " Sir George con
cluded by declaring ho intended to endeavor
to secure modifications of the bill now before
the house.
Sir Itlchard Webster , formerly attorney
general , who , with Sir Charles Itussell , ap
peared as counsel for Great lirltnln before
the tribunal of arbitration , said Sir Gcorgo
Baden-Powell did not represent tlie opinion
of the opposition. He did not think the pro
tective zones would bo fibjected to. It was a
great mistake to argue that the treaty gave
Great Britain 'the show and the United
States the substance. He added that ho was
able to Inform the house that thn American
bill had passed both the senate and the
house of representatives and would now go
to President Cleveland for his signature.
He milled thai the American bill was on the
tmmo lines as the onu now under consider
ation. Apart from the seal question , Hie
treaty , Sir KIchurd declared , was a dis
tinct advance In the settlement of inter
national disputes. He would always remem
ber his own association with the arbitration
court with the greatest pride. When Sli
Hlchard had Mulshed the bill was placed on
Its .second reading and passed. The an
nouncement of the vote caused prolonged
cheering.

UNIONTOWN. Pa. , April r.-Tho arrest
of President K. L. Davis of the local Minn
Workers association and ills lodgment In Jull
In connection with the killing of Knglneur
Paddock , placed the strikers In n state of
bewilderment. President Davis In charKcd
with murder and therefore cannot bo re
leased on ball. There Is general constcrna
lion In the ranks of the strikers and many
are In favor of giving up the fight. Them
are now nltu'ly-slx rioters In Jnll hero and
these- arc leaders In the movement.
Hut from today's developments It docn
not Innk as If the strike was ended. Tim
sensation of the morning was the discovery
of the bodies of eight murdered Hungarians ,
found In the woods near Dawson by some
boys who wcro going across the fields to
shoot. The men were lying in different
sections of the wood and all had bullet
holes through their bodies and wcro morn
or less beaten up. Where they came from
or by whom they were killed is yet a ques
tion. It Is supposed the Hungarians were
Hliot yestnrday hy the deputies during tint
attack on the Uraddock works and crawled
out Into the woods to die. In the coulllct
at these worlu there were sovpral volleys
of shots fired and one Hungarian was killed
outright during the attack. The bodleo
found have been Identified as members ot
thenub. . They arc still lying In tint
woods , as the authorities refuse to care for
them.
INCIUJASUn THK FACILITIES.
With the discovery ot these boiUss the
fatalities of yesterday are Increased to ten.
with many more seriously wounded than
was first known. Thu eight dead strlkeni
found were undoubtedly Killed by the pursu
ing party after the Paddock murderers , nivCt
at least eleven In all have , paid or will pay
Iho highest penalty for that crime with trial
by Jury. ' > -
The urrcst of President Davis has had a
njirq.detcrrlng ( and dampening effect upon
the strikers' than th'o hacrlltc'6 of eo many
lives yesterday. Davis was the iilnoty-flflU
slrlker arrested for the Paddock murder.
Davis said ho was sorry for yesterday'H
crime , but the foreign .clement could not bo
controlled. He feels certain Hint ho cannot
be connected with the killing of Paddock.
Ho will aik for a habeas corpus hearing 'at
once , and expects to bo released on ball.
The general fooling among the more In
telligent strikers is that they cannot win
against such sentiment us has bcon stlrretl
up against them by yesterday's troubles ,
together with the uitpropltious time for u
strike.
All the works of Frlek have been closed
down until after the funeral of Paddock
on Thursday. This enables the strikers tti
turn their attention to Italney , and Meyer
has been cliosen as the first point of at
tack. The light linre will bo decisive anil
will largely determine the outcome of tin
strlku. Doth the strikers and the civil
authorities are preparing to come out victori
ous In the con lot.
The Hill Farm mines were overrun by a
horde of strikers today and the workmen
driven from the grounds , dnsplte the fact
that deputies were on guard. The works
are now cloned down.
Despite the general depressed spirit notice
able among the strikers , the foreign cle
ment iu nothing daunted and further blood
shed will ho caused by them. As n nonse-
qucnco of the general feeling of discourage
ment the big raid planned for today Isnot
likely to occur.
