An annual report shall be submitted ami publication of the reports and decisions may be authorized and shall be competent evidence in all courts of the IJnixed States. 'The bill provides that the system of arbitration and conciliation shall apply W« to common carriers engaged in the |-m transportation between the states of pvi^s'ongors and property In* railroad and gk* by water, and to all persons and cor'Mr pwations leasing cars used for such -fet transportation and all their employes I 4b»t the wages paid in such transportatiovt aud handling and the rules" and regulations shall bo reasonable and just, nofr, however, taking away the right to aanvke contracts.

Chicago strike. Such arbitration
•was recommended the commission's report, and the bill now irves the practical details of their plan. It dili'ers utiroly from the arbitration lull heretofore introduced by Representative hprinjrcr, Icing more olal orate and precise in its details. Mr. hrdmun will introduce it in the house.
The title of the bill is "A bill eonecruing carriers enuaged in interstate rnerco and their employes." it is modelled after the interstate commerce a«t=, as that act has received judicial sanction in almost every section. It provide, for the appointment by the president, with the advice and consent of the senate, of a commission consisting of live persons, to be known as "The United States board of conciliation und arbitration." Not more than three of the commissioners shall be appointed from the same political party. One of them shall have had experience in the management of railroads and the other is to be el^eted from some incorporated association of railway employes. The commission shall have authorized to inquire into the terms and conditions of all employes subject to the act, and shall have the right to obtain from common carriers all necessary information.
The World's Columbian Exposition marked the climax of human achievement. It will live in memory of the crowning glory
of
modern times. No other development of the closing century can compare with it in practical! benefit to mankind.
Who that exhibited is not proud of it Who that failed to| exhibit does not regret the omission The former are the people of to-day. The latter are relics of the past.
No honor so high as that em* bodied in an award at the fair. Competition was world-wide, the fruits of ripest experience and noblest endeavors were submitted for examination.
Honest tribunals, composed of eminent scientists, examined and passed upon the claims of exhib-§ itors. Their judgement based on inquiry and justice, proves conclusively the value of any article they commend.

A Bill For the National Arbitration of Strikes.
It received the highest award at the fair from a jury headed by the Chief Chemist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, a Dr. Price's was officially commended for highest leavening 3 power, purity, keeping qualities and general excellence
whom v7ie same shall be Lrausiuifieu, shall take sncn action as is necessary. During the pendency of an arbitraI tion, it is not lawful for an employer to discharge an employe nor for such empioye and associations to aid or abet strikers, nor to quit employment wit-h-out 80 days' notice. The violation of this provision is made a misdemeanor,
In Section 18 the incorporation of employes is ».nc(.uiageci, and Chapter GOT, United States statutes, I8N0-8O, is enlarged so as to provide that the conetitutiou and byiaws of such association shall contain a provision that membership shall cease by participating in schemes of violence, strikes, etc., and that the members shall not be personally liable for any acts, debts or obligations of the organization.
Whenever receivers appointed by the federal courts are in control of a railroad, the employes shail have the right tt) be heard in tiie court upon all questions affecting the terms of their employment, and 110 reduction of wages shall be made by the receiver without the authority ot. the court after due no1 tice. It is further made a misdemeanor for auy oMicer or employer to require employes to enter into an agreement not to become a member of a labor organization, or to threaten an employe witli the loss of employment or discrimination because of such membership or to require such employes to become a mourner of a benelicial organization.
The purpose is to have the bill considered by the labor committee of the house at an early day. There is 110 doubt of a favorable report 011 it, and it is hoped to secure consideration for it in the house soon after the holidays. Messrs. Sargent, Arthur and other chiefs of railway organizations are now in Washington and will be consulted concerning the measures.

CARLISLE CURRENCY BILL.
Its Dhcaulon Beeun In the House—Senate l'l-orei-dings. Washixgtov, Dec. 19.—The discussion
011
the Carlisle currency bill began
in the house yesterday, but the opening of the debate was a disappointment. It lacked both spirit and interest, and was devoid of sensational features.
Mr. Springer, the chairman of the banking and currency committee, who made the first speech in support of the measure, gave a plain statement of its objects, its details and gave a review of the arguments in its favor on the lines of those con rained in the report.
Mr. Walker, the leader of the minority of the committee, devoted most of his tune to an elaboration of his own bill. As usual he was incisive, emphatic and aggressive, and the house gave him close attention.
Mr. Hall, a Democratic member of the committee :roni Missouri, closed the debate for the day.
A11 effort to agree upon the limitations of the debate failed and it will probably bo allowed to run
011
for the
remainder of the week without a vote. Alter the holidays the committee on rules will, unless the measure loses caste in the meantime, bring in a rule to close the debate and force a vote. Sjp
Senate J'roeeedings. n*Ivsmx
Washington, Dec. 19.—Another resolution providing for union with Canada made its appearance in the senate yesterday. having been introduced by Mr. Gailinger of New Hampshire, who stated that he would do anything in his power at any time to further the consummation of such union.
Senator Hill delivered a speech on his proposition lor a rule to close debate, which was listened to with close attention by liianv of the senators.
Mr. Turpie continued his speech in denunciation of the Nicaraguan canal bill, declaring that it appeared to him to have every indication of a gorgeous bubble.
An urgent deficiency bill appropriating *100,000 for public printing and binding was parsed.
vtK-.v The Holiday Kecess.
Washington, Deo. 19. Speaker Crisp and house leaders have reached a tacit agreement by which the ajournment for the holiday recess will be taken at the close of the session next Saturday, and the reassembling will be at noon Jan. 8.
RESISTING A RAILROAD TAX.
The Collector Frightened Aivuy but l*roinKsvi iscs to Ketiiru. ?«J|
Morganfield, Ky., Dec. 19.—Tax Collector Blackwell and his son arrived here at 8 o'clock yes ter day "morn ng. As it had been announced that Blackwell would hold a special sale yesterday people from all over the tax district began to pour into the town early. When a special train bearing 1,000 of the irate taxpayers arrived, Blackwell evidently became alarmed and he and John Feland, attorney for the bondholders, hurried to the depot and boarded the train for Unioutown, much to the disappointment of the people. The sale, therefore, did not come off.
Blackwell lias advertised a sale of personal property and land to recover taxes due the railroad for Jan. 7, and it is supposed that there will be trouble if he attempts to hold the sale.
lie Was a IJctcetlve.
Fostokia, O., Deo. 19.—It has been developed that Henry Iieeeh, one of the men murdered by tramps in a boxcar near this place a few days ago, was a detective employed by the national detective bureau of I'udianapolis. He had been detailed on a special, case and had adopted the disguise of a tramp. The theory is now advanced that the murderers were desperate crooks and recognized Reech as a detective following them with the ultimate intention of causing their arrest. Henry Harris, the surviving victim of the tragedy, it ia now believed, will recover.
