it is by no means a foregone conclusion
that the delegatus are to bo denied olllclal

"I-'or execution of existing contracts for

and such extension of such t-ervlCei as may bo
Judged expedient by the pojtmastcr gen
eral and may ln his Judgment be accom
plished at a reasonable cost, not exceeding
in any event $12,000 a mile, $750,000."
Hut.ler thought the government ought to
maintain tho service itself If it were to be
maintained at all.
Caffery believed Hoar's amendment fair
and conservative although there were cir
cumstances In connection with the operation
of tho service as It now existed which were
suspicious.
Hear contended that his amendment com
mitted tho government to nothing except tho
continuation of existing contracts. TcIIlc
thought If tho scheme were really valuable
It ought to be operated by the government,
hut he was inclined to the belief that the
wholo proposition ought to bo rejected.
Teller moved that the committee amend
ment and that of Hoar bo laid on tho table.
The motion was agreed to, 32 to 16.
Lodge then offered an amendment ap
propriating $22f,000 to carry out exist 'nj
contracts for pneumatic tube serlce, the
amendment containing a provision that there
should bo no extension of the service until
authorized by law. Without action on the
Lodge (intendment the postolllco bill was
displaced by the special order, which was
the ceremonies attending the reception of

visiting her ulster, Mrs, Wellcr.
t'ndcrtaker Frank V. Taylor brought suit
against her estate for $307.10. Included in
this wan a charge of her grand nephew, Wil

and accompanied It to thin city. In addl-
tlon to the time in Omaha and transit, (Ir en

Whether Judge Ashman who has known
what some Jags have cost, considered this i
sum too moderate to cover rhc oxpenscs of a

over, he disallowed the claim and In deny
ing It said: "The attendnnt completeil his

Joined In Minneapolis and St. Paul by many
Minnesota women who wish to visit the
park country and cxanilno the territory
which they are striving to preserve Hv, Its
primeval beauty and grandeur. The route
leads directly to Walker, Minn., a now bin
thoroughly modern and up-to-date town,
which will be the center from which sldo
trips through the park territory will ho made.
These trips will occupy tho first three or four
days, so that these whose time Is limited
nfiiy have an opportunity to do nil the special
sight-seeing In the time nt their command.
The total expense of tho trip from Minne
apolis and return will bo within $1.1.
Walker has ample hotel accommodations
for a largo excursion party, and special ar
rangements havo been mado for all who
would like to try tho outdoor life of the
woodsman and sportsman to seeuro lodging

presenting tho statue of General Grant to

Letter from C. A. It.
Sir: In accordance with the Joint resolu

statuo and pedestal of the late Oeneral
T'lysses S Grant, npproved August H, 1S90,
the committee of the Grand Army of the
Republic appointed to that end hns caused
such statue to be executed ami the same is
now placed ln the rotunda of tho icnpltol.
The statue Is an original work moillled by
Franklin Simmons, tho American artist,
liming his studio In Rome, a brief recital
of the origin and purpose of this memorial
work seems proper. General Orant. as wero
others of tho leaders of the union armies,
including Generals Sherman and Sheridan,

Renu-blle, having been mustered Into Meade
post No. 1, Department nf Pennsylvania.
Ho wore Its budge on all proper occasions,
sympathized with Its objects and fraternally
mingled with its membership. It was,
therefore, nt Mount McGregor, N Y , July
21, 1SW, that his comrades of tho Grand
Army of the Republic whllo mingling their
grief with that of all their countrymen,
should desire In some special manner to
slgnailze their affection for his person and
their appreciation of the great services ho
had rendered his country and to his age.
Accordingly, September 21, l!SJ, the then
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic addressed a circular letter to
the posts and departments of the order
suggesting tho creation of a fund by volun
tary subsci Iptlon, no more than In cents to
be received from any contributing comrade,
for, as stated In the circular, 'the erection
of a monument, which, avoiding nil exag
geration or mere motive of display, shall
be in keeping with the simplicity of the life
nnd character of our great leader, of such
Intrinsic excellence as shall commend It to
tho care of tho nation and thus through all
succeeding generations be our memorial as
well as a monument to his fame."
At the succeeding national encampment
the project was laid -before It, met with lla
hearty commendation and steps were taken
to facilitate Its accomplishment Hy direc
tions nf succeeding national encampments
the work was continued until the finished
result was brought within tne shelter or
his comrades, most of whom had served In
the Held under Ills command and all of
whom hnd hailed him us their comrade In
the Inter daj of peace In their behalf we,
who now survive, commit this semblance of
his person to the care and keeping of tho
nation whose walls lie helped to make
i stronger, rejoicing In the knowledge that
the memories it win iovokc are oi goon
will today and will be of concord through
all coming time.
The letter was signed by tho committee of
tho Grand Army of the Republic, consisting
of General S. S. Ilurdotto of Washington,
Genoral R. H. Death of Philadelphia, Gen
eral R. A." Alger of Detroit, General Soldon
Connor of Augusta, Mo., Colonel K. S. Grant

McCleary then olfered the following reso

given to the Grand Army of the Republic
for the statue of General I'. S. Grant, and,
Resolved, That the statuo be accepted

Tho eloquent eulogies of General Grant,

and several times were applauded from

General Grosvenor of Ohio said, In part:
Thlrtj--llvn years have passed over our
beads since Grant achieved the culmina
tion of his great fame as a soldier. Dur
ing that time there have been wftrs In the
world, (lurlnsr that time there have been
great changes In military tactic. In mili
tary organization, In mllltnry supplies and
munitions and all that appertain to the mil
itary arm of governments, but I venture to
say that among those who have come and
gone, among tnose who have led armies In
Ufrji't. in Germany, In France, there has
been no man who has any pretense of com
petition with Grant as a soldier today. Ho
has been criticised somewhat by one of the
great general of Kuropo, gieat In the
amount of pay that he draws, great In the
high rank that he holds, great In the
splendid decorations that he has. but I ask
my countrymen here today, when we are
considering something of Ornnt In the light
of tlilrtj-nvo cars, whether we may not
with a pride that Is enJrrjMtilc. contrast
the career of Grant, compare all his mis
takes If he ever made any -compare them
with tho most critical eye to the best thing
that has been Iono by the Hrltlsh army In
Its great campaign against the ltocrs, and
tell mo whether Orant does not shine like
a meteor I think the stratetv of Grant
that centered In the Wilderness and In
front of Richmond, the magnltlcent or
ganization of the nrmy of the Potomac,
will live as an exemplar of military strat
egy and perfection long after Wolseley, his
critic, long after Wolseley, the man who
had deprecated him. long after Wolseley.
the hero of Tel-cl-Keblr In Kgypt and the
Planner of the strategy of South Africa will
havo been, relegated to his proper position
among the great generals of tho world.
(Applause )
Rlchardoon of Tennessee, the minority
loader, who fought In the confederate army
against Grant, said, In part:
Tho most extravagant and fulsome eulogy
that e-an possibly be bestowed by human
Hps on General Grunt does not In the
slightest degree derogate trom the pure
and matchless fanio of tlio heroism of those
who fought acalnst him and of all truo
confederates In that bloody period during
which his marvelous churacter was de
veloped and which gave him the oppor
tunity to win everlasting renown. Uut for
tho Indomitable courage and valor of the
confederate soldier there would have been
no opportunity for his development and
for the proof of Ills giant strength. As an
ex-confederate soldier I revere his mem
ory and demand, und have a Just right to
domand, to share In the .honor and glory
which cluster like leweled diadems arnuml
his mime and render hltn conspicuous abivc
his contemporaries as an American soldier
and citizen. Confederates can and do honor
hltn because in buttle no was a foe man
wcu-tliv or their steel.
Dolllver .Malic (innliiu Speech
Dolllver of Iowa concluded his eloquent
tribute as follows:
I count It also a part of General Grant's
achievements that he gave hla name anil
the influence of his administration to the
most benonoent treaty that va over
drawn between- two nations, tho treaty of
Washington, which was followed bv the
Geneva award, settling a long standing dif
ference moro than once threatening war be
tween the two nations of the world that
i miiht to stand side by side for the free
dcun ml progress of mankind. It was his
l ntisolute confidence In the Judgment ami
patriotism t tne American people tnat.
when tho treaty of Santo Domlntro went
down In the senate In a wiue of vitupera
tion from which even the piesldetit did not
escape, that Caused him to turn away from
the clamor of the hour and write a special
message of appeal from that decision to
the American people, "whose Judgment,"
ho said, "so seldom errs and against whose
will I Wave no policy to enforce."
In the midst of our new national re
sponsibilities 1 think American stntosmen
csuld gather a great deHl of strength and
encouragement by going over again the
messages, papers, letters and biography of
Ulysses 3. Grant.
At 3 o'clock, as a further mark of roipect
to the widow of General Grant, his daughter
and grandchildren, and the Grand Army of
the Republic, the house adjourned.

Hy special order of the senate two of the
gallerlrw of the senate had been reserved for

"A Soldier's Trlbuto to a Great Soldier,"
was the brief speech of Senator Hawiey of
Connecticut. Ho congratulated his com
rades of the Grand Army ot the Republic
upon the succcsffnl consummation of a great
work and said tho noble gift was accepted
with sympathy and gratltud
After a handsome eulogy by Harris, Tur
ley delivered a notable address from tho
view point of a private soldier In tho ranks
of the confederate army. Ho said that tho
sentiments of the people of tho south had
in recent years changed toward Grant and
gradually had become those of cordiality and
esteem. He never could reach, ho said, that
Inner chamber of tho southern people's
hearts. That was occupied alone by tho
"Immortal Lee," whom I ho people of tlio
southland loved hecauso he was tho very In
carnation of their causo. Turley said he did
not think of Grant ns a commander or a
president ho much as ho thought of him
as tho gallant soldier, tho friend of Leo and
the protector of tho private soldier of tho
eonfedorato army, and as such a soldier ho
paid trlbuto to tho memory of Grnnt.
Turner spoke of Grant as the "great silent
Midler who lies upon tho bank of the Hud
son. As ho struck tho hardest blow, so win
his hand first to pour tho healing balm Into
tho wound thus made."
Ho considered him as combining the qual
ities of boih Von Moltkn and Wellington,
for ho planned with the precision nt tne
former and carrlej forward his plans with
the tenacity ot the latter.
Carter paid brief tribute "To the nation's
grcatrst military chieftain," and then Allen
concluded tho specchmaklng with a view of
General Grant from the viewpoint of "a
private soldier who served under him."

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 10. For one week,
at least, the striking employes of the St.
Louis Transit company will be face to face,
with federal authority, which, speaking to
day through Judge Klnier II. Adams of the
United States circuit court, In the form of
an Injunction, has commanded them to ab
stain from Interfering In any manner with
the running of mall cars on the various
street car lines of the city uwiiel by tho
transit company.
The writ ot Injunction Issued at I 30
o'clock this afternoon by Judge Adams l
sweeping In its nature, and Is made re
turnable May 2tf. It commands the striken
to refrain from doing anything whatever
that will delay or obstruct the operating of
mall cars, or the gathering and distribution
of the malls. Kverythlng prayetl for In tho
petition for an injunction presented last
Saturday evening to Judge Adams by Unite I
Stales District Attorney Rozler was granted
The only point not covered In the Injutu
tlon which the company would prs-dbly have
asked Is that the strikers be enjoined from
all Interference with the running of pas
senger cars.
President Million of the street railway cm
ploycs' association said tonight, after being
Informed of the l-suatice of the Injunction,
that tho strikers had violated no law and had
no Intention of so doing.
Tho conduct of the strike today was ip
marked contrast to that of yesterday, there
being no rioting and nobody was Injured dur
ing tho day. This was perhaps due to tno
fnct that the company made no effort to run
cars during the afternoon, having been ad
vised to refrain Horn doing so by Chief or
Pollco Campbell. The union men who en
dorse the strlko nnd are In favor of declaring
a sympathetic strike had decided to hold
a parade Into In the afternoon and Chief
of Police Campbell, being fearful of trouble
If tho cars and the parade should happen
to collide, requested the company to keep
Its cars In tho ham.
The parade was a success In point of nutn-
hers and enthusiasm, about 7,000 men being
in line. Ilaniurs and transparencies en
dorsing the strike and pronouncing In favor
of a sympathetic movement were numerous
throughout the column, which marched
through many of the down town strcjots be
tween I and C o'clock.
Thoro was not the sllghtcs' evidence nf
disorder. The crowd nlnng the line of
march was small and undemonstrative.
No additional deputy mnrshals will bo
sworn In. If It Is demonstrated that tho
present deputies in St. Louis are unablo
to handle the situation a demand will bo
made upon the government for federal
troops. None of the olllclals seen yester
day belleveil that this measure would be
come nccejsary.
If It should, however, troops are within
easy call, two squadrons of the Fifth cavalry
and a strong detachment of recruits being
at Jefferson barracks, twelve miles awjiy.
Tho troops, all told, number about 1,000
men.
No progress was made today toward a set -tlement
of tho strlko and no more was
mnde on either side looking toward a con
ference.
Comlltloiin nf the Service.
So far as can bo learned the St
Ijouls Transit company today had In
operation on fourteen of tho twenty
two lines compoblng Its Hymtoni about ISO
cars. A comparison of that number with 800,
which were In operation beforo the strlko
began, Indicates very clearly under what
adveran conditions the Transit company is
laboring. Want of proper protection of tho
street car lines Is one cause for this con
dition, and another Is that the company has
not enough men with which to operate more.
During tho last few days the Interfer
ence by mobs has become so general and
the casualties reported so many that. It
Is stated today, tho authorities will arm
the police officers guarding tho cars with
shotguns loaded with buckshot. They will
be Instructed. It Is stated, to fire Into mobs
which nttempt to Interfere with the run
ning of cars or with their crews in the
discharge of their duty.
So far nearly seventy employes of tho
Transit company, mostly motormen, have
been under the surgeon's caro sluce tho
strike began. Must of the cases are
trifling, cuts and bruises from fists or rocks
predominating, but there are some serious
ones In the number. In many of the sheds
and power houses of the St. Louis Transit
company hospitals have be-in establlshel
and there are patients In almost all of
them. Tho patients nro employes of the
company, woundod or beaten by crowds of
strikers or their sympathizers.
Tho action of the Trndea and Labor union
last night in adopting a resolution recom
mending that labor unionists quit work on
a call from the executive committee of thnt
body has put a different aspect on affairs
and complicated matters. It remains to h-
seen, -however, how many of the dlfforent
unions will order a sympathy strlk"
Kach union must settle tho matter for It
self by a three-fourths vote. At least two
of these unions -will not go out. These are
