RIDDLEBERGER'S PLAN.

Ee Proposes a Dspirtnent of Transportation $103,000,000 Capital )t!irr Measures Which Show That There 1 Something New Under the Sun An Interenting Preamble IIa od a It's Tanfl I'.ill. Special to the üfenUiiel. Washington, June '2. Senator Riddleburger nas evolved new and gigantic schemes. ! The immediate object of the first is to create j a department of transportation with a Cab- , inet minister at its head. The first business of ihe department will be to take from private companies all the railroad, telegraph and telephone lines in the country, make tLem, by purchase at a fair price, the property of the I'nited Slates, and operate them orthe benefit of the whole icople at the mallest charges that will cover expenses. He is to begia with the line between Washington and New Orleans and gradually gather them in until the I'nited States Govment owns all the railroad, telegraph and telephone lines in the country. An appropriation of Sloo.OoO.WX) is all the bill asks ot the Treasury to begin with. The object of the second measure is to buil J enormous warehouses at suitable places wherein may be stored, at the risk and expense of the Government, all the com, wheat, cotton, silver and gold produced in the t'nited States. For the prjilucti thus surcl the Secretary of the Treasury will issue certificates of deosit which shall be legal under for the payment of all debts. AnotLer provides that all I'nited States money shall hereafter be printed on silkthreaded white paper of approved texture, me and thickness. These notes shall be in twenty-six different denominations, and the money in circulation shall not at any time exceed $100 per capita of the population. After the first of January next these silkthreaded paper notes shall be only legaltender, the only money in the land. No metal money whatever shall hereafter be coined in the I'nited States, bat all existing metal money is to be melted and sold for the benefit of the I'nited States as ! done with all other tireless commodities. Another of the series Is a bill to destroy usury and banking for profit within the jurisdiction of the I'nited States by creating certain hanking powers and duties of the Treasury Departmt nt. Along preamble to the bill states, among other things, "whereas, everybody knows more than anybody,' and, "whereas, labor carts !." per cent, of the votes; whereas, forty-live National l'-anks in New York City, last year, made a ret profit of 1 per cent, on ttieir capital, while agriculture only yielded per cent, to farmers; whereas, labor pays the banker all his profits, usury must be- crushed so that the laborer mr.y enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." ALMOST A SCRAP. A l ittle Scene tu Ulilrli Messrs. Cobb nud I.elrd Were th )'rlria.la. rTecial to the Hentlnci. Wamuni.ton, June IN. Mr. Cobb and Mr. Laird, of Neora-ka, were the principal tn n very interesting smc this morning, and for a time it 'ooked as If nothing could prevent a knock-down matt ).. 1.1 r. laird has for the past week shown a disposition to fiercely askail l.ind Connim-ioner Sparks in his ofllcial rapacity, and has aid n. any tilings not becoming a thoroughbred, hi;h-toned gentleman as he t laitns to be. He met hli match to-day when he undertook to wrestle with Mr. Cobb. Mr. Laird is said to he Interested in many ot the large land speculations, and by the ruhngi of General Sparks ajtalnst the land sharks, Laird, Othello like, has been deprived of an occupation. Mr. Cobb read from the Land Ollice records, which asserted that Laird wan engatced In the speculations. t wis what he had not expected. He grew fierce, and was like a bull when having looked too long upon the Hag when it was red. He disputed the word of Mr. Cobb, whereupon the latter shook his clinched Land under his none, and plainly told him he meant exery word he said and could prove it, and Intimated if he would come outsiae of the Capitol he would show him Low he conld make hint sing the song of the crushed. Air. Cobb was angry, and fairly raved for an opportunity to "do him up." JMterdaring him to repeat Ms assertion. Mr. Laird quietly, though meekly, subsided, and the war was over. II O SHOW FOR WOMEN. Civil Sertlee Commissioner Kdgnrtou Ks. plain Why More Are Not Apoint. f pedal to the Fcnünei. WAcuixr.TOX, June 27. "There are ten men sent for, for ckrkships, to one woman," said Civil Service Commissioner EJgarton to-day. "In some of the departments absolutely no requisitions come to us for women, and very few are demanded anywhere. The result Is that women stand almost no show at all to he appointed. A lady was ap!ointed In the l'ostotuee Department from js'ew York yesterday. Jfer standing was scry high in every branch. In arithmetic it was 10; yet her name bad been on our lists for a long time. Men readily j-et positions whose standing is no more than 00 per cent, on an average." "How do you account for this state of things'." was asked. "On, there Is no real reason for it. It is mere a matter of predjuJIco than anything Ja. Some Chief of Bureau or other oftlcer has an Incompetent woman sometime, or some woman that is troublesome, and so he will not try another. Then there Is a feeling in certain quarters that if one happens to f et an incompetent woman she is hard to get rid of; that she will bring Influences to bear, and will perhaps shed tears. Then It ii a little bard to tell a woman that she is nnMtiefactory, Ihe Chiefs feel that a man will

understand and take it as a man, but a woman will make a fuss; then, strange enough, there is a vast army of men pushing all the while for the small places that women usually get, and so, taking it all in all, they stand a poor chance." , INDIANA POSTOFFICES.

The Heirs ot Colonel Charles I'lemlng In Court Alter the Old Mini's l.nnd. Rn iimonp, Ya., June 21. Parties living in this State and South Carolina have instituted legal proceedings by which they may reCover a large quantity of property in Kentucky, on which a iortion of the city of Frankfort Is built.

Atter his dcatn the land was old, but no valid conveyance, it ls now claimed, was ever made of any portion of It. Thema'ter has been carefully looked into by the heirs, who claim that th" city of Krankfort is principally built on tin' tract which was formerly Ohio Territory., and the records of the Virginia Land Ollii o tn the State Capitol show very plainly tlii entry of the original deed and the location of the land as above slated. It is said that there mrm only el ylit living represertlntl ve of the old Colonel Fleming; anion;; these are Mrs. J. M. I'.enson, of South Ca roll in; I'. I'-eriiurd, of Richmond, Ya., and Miss Judy Lernard, of Lynchburg.

IMMENSE THRONGS.

The Enthusiasm in Favor of Horns Eejcnd Prccsdent. Rais Mr. Gladstone Addresses the l'eople of Liverpool Labouchere and I'teld Settle Their Quarrel Ueneral Foreign News. Liverpool, June 2S. Mr. Gladstone this afternoon addressed the electors of Liverpool in llengler's Circus. He was received with boundless enthusiasm. The circus was crowded to its utmost capacity, 5,000 persons being present. Hundreds' of people, unable to gain admltta'ic-. crowded around outfride. Mr. Gladstone said the enthusiasm in favor cf Home Rule surpassed anvtbing he had witnessed during his life. Despite the long purses of Ins opponents he ii oked forward to the result of theelec ttotis with ronCdeiire. It was true tint he dei.cunccd ti e Nationalists in iss'l, but it was bcfli'e he thought they were iu the wrong He supported them now because he thought and knew they were in th ri.-lit. He i.ow proposed to give a M.atutorv Parliament to Ireland to deal exclusively with Irii-h alTairs. His opponents pretended that such n grant would he the breaking dowu of Irteh allegiance to the Imperial Parliament, but, said the Premier, the allegiance hid been given gruduinply and halt-heartedly heretofore, and sometimes it had not been given at all. The .Liberals wished to destroy that sort of allegiance and make Irishmen revere the Imperial Parliament like Scotchmen and Kni'K.sbmen from the heart and mind. 11 Moutly denies that they were refusing C 1st er privileges which they were giving elsewhere. n the contrary they were willing to listen to uny sueecstlou on behalf of Lister. They wern willing to make exceptional proposals if they were likely to be adopted. Again they were told tbnt tbe land purchase project meint taking RritiMi tax payer's money. Itm;nnt nothing of the kind. It was one thing to spend their money and another thing to Invcstjit. If he thought that land purchase meant more than investment he would be no party to the scheme. He denied, however, that tbe Home Utile bill en 1 toe Land Purchase bill were insepuraole. He reminded his audience that home rule was a quest Ion of clashes against the masses. The Rlheral party, he said, was, as a rule, not supported by Ihikes, clergymen of the establish Church, olllft rs of the army and fo forth. Wherever there was a highlyprivileged publicly-endowed profession, nwst every member of that profession was an anti-Liberal. P.ut from the medical profession, which was now open, the Liberals re celved a fair support." Tbe question was whether the masses were able to constitutionally overbear the classes He would show this by reference to Lord Randolph ('hurt hill, who name he had not mention! before during the canvass, and which he did not suppose be wou'd have occasion to mention again. Ho had been told thai. Lor I Randolph Churchill had had a good deal to say about blm, but be(Mr. (llton) had rot taken the trouble to Inline. Itwa very difficult to describe Chnrchill, but If he could cut out one-half of his Ulitv. be might make, with the other half, a valuable and distinguished public servant. Churchill, however, admitted that tbe classes might go wronc, that the Tall Mall clubs iiiIkI'I go wrong, hutthat the people never erred. Mr. Gladstone I. oped they would not err on this occasion. I'nrllnment. he snld, bad been paralysed becnii'e of the Irish question, and It wo ild rciiuiln paralyzed until some measure of justice were ncd. Irelsnd bud t.i-itn;t'ed lo l ing her two to the front and had succeeded. She was now backed noton'y by her own lui ii.bern, hut by a Vitt iiinU r of I nglitdi people, lie believed that the turnsun s propositi would tend to promote the Krow th of prosperity In Ireland. The Liberals vveie tchl that the result, would he-that F.ngiund would have to bold Ireland by by force, but this she was doing now. He hoped to hold her in future bv love. Cheers. Mr. Gladstone concluded a illd loud cheer wilb a v't'orotis denuntiatio!! of the msntier In which the act of union whs effected. Rev. Henry Ward P.eecher wax on the platform while Mr, Gladstone was speaking. WINSTON'S PERSIAN RAILWAY. .No ( hniire fur Ihe Ijta Minuter I I'nrry Out Ills si-lieuie. Consta xti.nom.i June 27. The former United States Minister to Persia. Mr. Winiton, having-hecn seen lately walking around the streets of Constantinople with a In on Ids head, apparently with the desire to show the Turks how thoroughly costnof olitan the charcter of the American Nation is and that of the Illinois Rrlgadler General's in particular, has brought up again as the subject of considerable discussion here the re ported important railway concessions made to Mr. Winston by the Shah of Persia. There is absolutely no chance whatever of Mr. Winston's achemta being carried out. The fchih leadlly promises railway grants, and even gives them, but the fulfilment Is unite another thing. He lets bis Ministers pump money as pesh keh that is, backsheesh out of his victims, but in the end he invariably deceives the contractors. Nobody .ought to put a dollar In such a venture unless the Shah has deposited the money or else pledged his customs not to the individual grantee, but to his Government. Kngugements entered Into by the Shah to Individuals or private corporations are not binulng. The former Minister, Mr. Renjamln, obtained some kind of concession from the Shah, hut it fell through, and Itetilamln only got laughed at. The line of road selected by Mr. Winston is the Kiiglish rosd to the gulf. It la longer but not ho rocky as the road to tbe Caspian that the Russluns want One reason why Mr. Winston's road will surely never go through li bcrauto tho Russians will never give their consent to a railroad injurious to their Interests. They are quite clever enough to hoik Mr. Winston'i little scheme, and the understand Persia and the Persians far better than he. GENERAL FOKEIQN NEWS.

The Lake Shore Company Succeed in Sendin s Off Six Trams. No Demonstration Made by the Strikers at the 31 nixies of tbe Company's Winchesters The Strike Con. sidered at an Kiitl. Chicaco, June 28. The Lake Shore Hallway Company has at last succeeded in getting a freight train started from tbe yards at Root street. The blockade was broken at 12:15 o'clock to-day. At tint hour the switch engines which had been busy in tbe yards making up the train steamed on to the side tracks and a regular engine coupled on to the train. The special police, with their Winchester rifles ready, stood by on the alert. The guns were too much for tbe crowds who thronged the streets in the vicinity, and not an attempt was made to interfere with the movements of the train men. When everything ws in readiness for the start a detail of Pinkerton men, armed with rifles, climbed onto the engine and the tops of the cars. Their appearance pave the scene a warlike appearance. Just before the train was ready to start a switch engine to which a caboose was attachedand also heavily guarded, steamed on to tbe main track in front of the regular train, but the conductor only had orders to proceed to South Chicago. The traiu reached Knglewood at 12.20 p. m., having run tbe gauntlet of the strikers from Forty-third street without molestation. At the Fifty-first street crossing there was a large crowd of men and boys, who jeered as the train ppsscd by, but ot'ered no violence. The train left L'nglewood at 12:20 p. ni. At 12:-0 p. m. Soutu Chicago was reached and no serious opposition had been encountered. There was a large crowd in and about tbe the yards, but u large squad of Hyde Park police prevented even the semblance of disorder. A setond freight train of twenty-six loaded freight cars followed the lirst train, having been made up at Knglewood. It had twenty armed specials anil reached South Chicago in safety. The railroad officials anticipated no trouble after leavlmr that point unless it should be at some place beyond the State line, and a squad of Pinkerton men, already mentioned, has pone to that point to guard against that hnpptn!ng A third train was successfully gotten under way. ami passed South Chicago In safety. Gloomy Pi okhosI lent Ions. CitM At.o. June 2. Forty -five new switchmen were brought in to day from Toledo. They were at once set to work at Knglewood and South Chicago. Three of the striking switchmen returned to work at Knglewood yards this afternoon, and assisted In making up home of tbe outbound trains that afterward ran the gauntlet. It Is understood the dlhVrent roads In Chlcsgo have notilh'd 1 1 cir eniploj es that if seen at the seat of the Lake Shore troubles, a pre-emptory dis. mis-al would follow. All tho Lake Shore sect ion bundsatitl switchmen in 1 in. Una were to-dny sworn in as special police. The yards of the Lake Shore Rond ure cleared of all Last bound freight, and the olllcials of the company are free In their expression that the back bone of the strike Is broken. The Mngulne view Is not shared by the persons who are In a position to know the councils of tbe switchmen. They claim that, while all violence w 111 be avoided ns much as It is In the control of tho strikers to do so, a syMcm of warfaro will be inaugurated which may at any time precipitate a general strike on nil or most of tlie roiula centering in Chlcnho. The rext Mep of the strikers will be- to request the switchmen of other roads not to handle any Lake Shore cars. Should this request be refiiM d the strike Is practically over tinless the Lake Slmre strikers reort to violence atraln. If the switchmen of the otlu r roads act us they did two months ago. the strike will begin In earnest. According to the Irnn-ehul agreement entered Into be'ween the malingers ami Superintendents of the various roads on Thursday last, all recalcitrant employes will have to be promptly tilscharged, and such a step, It Is sttid. can have but one result a railrjad strike of gigantic proportions.

THE HARVARD STUDENTS. Particulars or the Kow in Which Several of Them Were Hurt. Bostox, June 28. One night about ten davs ago a party of Harvard Students, while iu the city on a debauch, met with treatment of a very heroic character, which will be likely to restrain their bibulous propensities, at least until next year. The party consisted of four or five, one of whom, a St. Louisan named Whitelaw, is noted in the collece as a sparrer and general athlete. It was he who acted as ringleader on tbe night in (lucftion. The fracas took place in the Miller house, a down-stairs saloon in Court street. The presiding genius of this place is 'named MacAvoy, a huge, athletic fellow ot a violent temper, and withal well acquainted with the peculiarities of student character. The exact crigin of the row is enshrouded in mystery. At all events the students, who were about "half full," had not been in the saloon more than a quarter of an hour when one of them, in a rage, struck MacAvoy on the head with his cane. The blow was so severe that the surgeon, wbo was called later, was obliged to take four stitches in the scalp. TLe wounded msn lost no time in getting revenge. Billiard cues, chairs, bottles, and everything else which came to hand were employed with savage ferocity. Whitelaw was the worst stillerer. During the ten minutesof the fight he lay on the floor insensible from blows on tbe head, anil after the battle was over it was hardly known whether he was dead or alive. It is even said that he did not recover consciousness until tLe third day. In the meantime his parents hsd been telegraphed for and came on, not to see htm graduate with honor, but to witness tbe beginning of a recovery which may not be entire, and will at best require many weeks. The ficht was ended by tbe police, but it was found Inijtossihle to obtain any jellable evidence as to its origin; and as it appeared, moreover, that MacAvoy acted in self-defense, ill were immediately released from custody. The corridor In which Whitelaw's room Is located In Hilton hall at the college, is placarded with a warning to all comers to step Hfhtly on account of a case of serious illness. Whitelaw's condition is said to be still critical. AI In .IohIIii" Arrested In a IMvorce Suit. New YonK, June 2H. Charles L.
