The general executive committee or tho Knights of Labor has made public a statement that they intend to investi gate the record of P M. Arthur, chief of the Locomotive Engineers' Brotherhood. They charge Arthur with being respon sible for the failure of all their strikes since ISiU, when they won the Union Pacific strike.

The want to know how he accumulated this property. Arthur rays they can go ahead and investigate. He has nothing to do with the Knights of Labor and they havo nothing to do with him. 1 Tho railroad war has commenced in farnest, and the Santa Fe has scored first blood. General Manager K. H.

SENATE. Monday, Feb. 19. After tho introduction of a number of resolutions bearing on the tariff bill and other matters, the senate went into ex ecutive session to consider the nomina tion of Senator White of Louisiana to he associate justice of the supreme court. The appointment was confirmed. Tuesday. Feb. SO. Proceedings were devoid of interest. Tariff petitions were read and routine work attended to. The Hawaiian mat ter was discussed. Tcdneaday. Feb. 21. The tariff question came np unexpect edly. Voorhees rose to a question of privilege and denied a newspaper report that the president was dictating to the finance committee in regard to the pro vision of the bill. Acrimonious debate on the subject lasted an hour. White of California defended the president's Hawaiian policy. Thursday, Feb. . The Declaration of Independence was read, as is the usual custom on Wash ington's birthday. Some routine busi ness w:ia disjiosed of, and tho senate ad journed until Monday. HOUSE. Monday, Feb. IS. Filibustering caused an early adjourn ment. Bland's motion to cloRe debate on the silver seigniorage bill was not voted on by the opponents of the meas ure and for lack of a quorum the honse adjourned. Tuesday, Feb. CO. The deadlock on the Bland seignior age bill was not broken. Numerous roll calls failed to develop a quorum and the house adjourned at 4 p. m. Members who had been arrested for non-attend ance were obliged to give excuses. Wednesday, Feb. SI. Bland again failed to secure a quorum and after four hours of fruitless roll call an adjournment was taken. A dozen congressmen were arrested on the floor of the house for having absented them selves. Thursday, Feb. 2t. Contrary to custom, the house met on Washington's birthday. A lively row resulted from the arrest of members. Cummings of New York defied the offi cers and was not arrested. Bland could not get a quorum. Friday. Feb. SS. . The members who were arrested were all discharged. Bland bitterly de nounced the Democrats for filibustering against the seigniorage coinage bilL He called the fUibusterers anarchists and said the representatives should do their work or acknowledge their incompe tency. Saturday. Feb. 3. A short session, devoid of interest. No quorum. Bland lost his patience and declared that the bondholders con trolled tho countrv. GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP. The sub-committee of the house com mittee on banking and currency win re port to the full committee favorably the bill of Cooper of Indiana to permit the states and territories to tai United States notes and currency. Senator Morgan's report on Hawaii generally favors the pi'ucyof the ad ministration, but leans toward annexa tion. It is not satisfactory to all the Democrats on the committee, some of -whom are likely to send in a supple mentary report, Socretarv of Agriculture Morton has written a letter to Representative Sib ley of Pennsylvania, defending himself against the strictures made against him for his position on the question of the government's stand in the extermina tion of Canada thistles and other mat ters affecting agricultural interests. The secretarv of the interior in a Mon tana case holds that each 20-acre tract of any placer claim must show the dis- coverv of minerals in order to obtain mineral patent. Whether the claim is surveved or unsurveyed makes no differ ence in the rights of locators. Accord' ingly, the Kx-ation made on a larger amount of land is void except for 90 acres immediately surrounding it. At the Southern clnb banquet at New York ex-Mavor Abram S. Hewitt said: "I know vonr Southerners in Washing ton. I know them to be honest, truth ful, gallant, but I also know them to be ignorant. It is the only word that fits blank, crass ignorance. Almost in a solid body, with a few honorable excep tions, they gave their votes to the silver bill. That la the road of your South to day. That is Southern statesmanship at the end of the nineteenth centnrv. That is ignorance: that's what it is, ig norance, that goes forward with the dangerous strength of its own convic tions. There is no fool like the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread. ' THE MIDWINTER FAIR. On March 17. -St. Patrick's day, the Irish societies will celebrate at the ex hibition. The admission that day will be cents. Friday last was children's day All the school children of San Francisco were admitted free to the grounds and to the concessions.

In the even ing the electric fountain and the big search light on the top of the electric tower were in operation for the first tame.
