Mulr of Iwia county, en dorsing the action of the lower house of ths Illinois legislation expelling Representative figiik l. CooierfoxX (From Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. .-t8peclal Tele gram.) Bad feeling Is being shown by some senators towards Senator Millard because of his antagonism to the bill granting char. ters to several real estato men In Council Bluffs to tonstruct a bridge across the Mis- .nort river between Council Bluffs . and Omaha. Bono tor Millard, at the Instance of many Prominent citizens 'of the two cities, has quietly antagonized tha measure and today by a vote of 9 to 7 the commerce committee voted to adversely report the house bill, which was introduced by Congressman Smith. It was learned today that Senator Dolllvar is greatly Incensed over the ac tion of the commerce committee and pro poses to pass the bill even In the face of the adverse report. The bill, through Iowa Influence, has been placed on the calendar of the senate and Senator Dolliver will wait for a favorable opportunity to call It up should Senator Millard be out of the cham ber. But Mlllurd is not going to be caught napping and has enlisted several collengues who will take turn on watch to prevent tha Junior senator from Iowa carrying out Ills threat if objection and wide debate will defeat the meusure. The action of the city council of Omaha In passing a resolution favoring the passage of the bill In face of the known objection of many prominent citizens of Omaha has somewhat disconcerted Senator Millard, but he will continue his active opposition to the meas ure until he hears from Mr. Wattles and other gentlemen who have signed a protest against the bill, explaining whether the ac tion of the city council is reflective of the sentiment of the community. Hearing on Railroad Bill. The house committee on territories spent the morning listening to statements of James E. Kelby, assistant general attor ney of the Burlington, and E. Gillette of Sheridan, Wyo., In relation to the bill giv ing the TransaWHKa company ine right to construct a railroad from Valdez to Eagle City, Alaska. an attorney reprere-ming lua values at Yukon railroad, is Ashling ths Transalaska measure. Mr. Kelby occupied a half hour In explaining his connection with the Akron, Sterling A Northern railroad and denied generally Mr. Brown's statements that bad faith had been shown in coming to con gress for legislation granting to Mr. Hoi drege and others the right to build a rail road from Vsldes to Eagle City. Mr. Gil lette spoke of the engineering problems In volved and ststed that he had made a permanent survey of a portion of the road nd a preliminary survey or ine paiance. Tomorrow ths sei.ate committee on terrl- tories will hear Mr. Kelby, Air. uuiette nd Senator Dietrich on the lattefa bill, which is a counterpart or tne Mondeii bill. Senators Warren and Clark are interest ing themselves In tne irajisuiaska rail road, and; If deemed necessary will also go before the committee on behalf of Mr. Holdrege's proposition In view of the num ber of railroad propositions before the territories committee of congress. It seems safe to predict that there will be no railroad legislation at this session. Warren Replies to Charges. Senator Warren said this evening, In ref erence to the Kelster resolutions presented In the Wyoming legislature: "I know noth ing about the resolutions excepting the press report this morning, which stated that the Wyoming senate promptly tabled them, and I feel I should do the same. I might say, however, as to athe first thre Items, which refer to the disposition ot rlerk hire funds for my committees, that every dollar ths government has ever ex pended for clerk hire for me or my com mittees has been expended for clerk for the committees and public business of the United States, and sccounts of the same have been duly examined, approved, audited and paid by the proper officers of tha gov ernment. In addition, every year pf my public service I have personally paid addi tional compensation for rlerk hire to keep up ths work incident to my public duties. As to the leasing of the Warren block for the postolllce. It was leased several times for the postofTice and always after com petitive bidding, according to law, to the lowest bidder, nnd the entire transaction was examined, Approved and closed by the rostnfflee department. The question of fencing' on public lands was thoroughly ex amined by my political adversaries during the first Cleveland administration nnd since. The electric light contract for lighting Fort 'Russell wns entered Into at the request of the government nfter receiving sealed bids and without my Influence." Pratt r.eta Appointment. Joseph G. Tratt, formerly land agent of tho T'nlon Pacific between Cheyenne and Topeku, has, through the effort of Sena tors Warren and Clark of Wyoming, been appointed by the president postmaster at Honolulu. . An ' ugly fight was made on Pratt, .ft. being claimed ..that lie, was In terested in the reul estate Irregularities with E. P. Desky of Honolulu. Postmas ter General , ' Wynne Investigated the charges and, flailing there was nothing to thoin, .recommended his appointment.

Congressman Ylurkett has secured the appointment of Don I)e Page of Platta mouth as special agent of the census bu reau to enumerate 'the manufacturers in tho First Nebraska district.

The nquenl was made by the Interparliamentary unlbti,- througti tho president of the organization, Rep resentative Bartholdt of Missouri, Dr. Bartholdt explained to the president tho consensus of opinion among tho members of the union and among European pari la- ' mentarlana with whom ho Is In corre spondence was that tho president of tha United States was the one man, with th possible exception of the empe-ror of Ger many, who Indicated no disposition to try to bring the war to an end, who might be listened to on he subject with favor by Russsla. Mr. Bartholdt pointed out that although Russia had let it be understood that any offer of mediation, from whatever source, would bo regarded as an unfriendly act, such an attitude was in violation of th plain stipulations of The Hague convention. to which Russia was pot only a party, but of which tha czar was tha moving power. The president gave Dr. Bartholdt no defi nite assurance beyond promising to con sider the matter with Secretary Hay. , It is known to be quite unlikely that this gov. eminent will take any action looking to mediation until some assurances hsvo been received from botli parties to tho pending conflict that such action would not bs unwelcome.
