This morning the congress decided
to reconsider, and the officers of the

Denver many well laid plana would

Finally, when the motion was put,
Phoenix lost, and the matter was left
tn the hands of the board of directors,
who probably will select Denver.

CONGRESS
ROBBERIES CONTINUE.
A trout, ConfesNion and Detention Dkt
Not Slop Them.
Baker City, Nov. 18. How to stop
the postofflce robberies that have been
going on In this city for the past three
weeks. Is the problem that Is causing
the utmost worrlment to Postmaster
Moomaw, police, sheriff and detec
tives. Yesterday when It was thought
that the person who had been doing
the most of the work of robbing the
boxes, had been located, the authori
ties were resting somewhat easier
hoping that the thefts would cease,
but again this morning another quan
tity of letters was found in the rear
of the Standard Furniture company's
store which had been taken from the
office sometime yesterday, ' and now
the troubles of the authorities have
Increased.
These letters belonged to the Indi
ana Mine, and all had been opened,
their contents inspected, and If any
thing of value was In them It had been
taken.
Suspicion which has heretofore been
directed toward a number of small
boys, are now being turned away. It
is not thought that any youths could
commit these robberies with such
skill. A sharp watch has been main
tained over the office, and no one has
been detected.
There Is now hardly any doubt but
that some older person Is at the head
of tho thefts, but who the person Is,
Is the puzzle. Postmaster Moomaw
warns everybody having a postofflce
box to be sure and lock It provided
he wants all his mall.
ARMY FXDEROFFICERED.
Chaffer. Recommends legislation
A boot Deserters.
Washington, Nov. 18. Chaffee's re
port to the secretary of war says the
army Is underofflcered. He declares
that In case of war the army would be
in a decidedly crippled condition.
He recommends legislation to make
definite the political status of desert
ers, and urges an aroused public sen
timent that deserting from the army
Is repugnant and mean, and all good
citizens should use all effectual means
for the material abatement of the
crime.
THE ENGINEERS
BROTHERHOOD WILL BE
HEtXIGNIZED HERE-AFTER.
The Company Capitulates to tlte Vnkm
After a Twency-Year Holding Out
Against It, Dating From the Great
Strike of 1885-6, and Signs a New
Wage Scale With a Committee Rev
rrMcntlng the Brotherhood of Engi
neers Company's Management
Call the Exclusion Off.
Chicago, Nov. 18. The management
of the Burlington railroad, after 20
yeara of opposition, has recognized
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, and has signed the first wage
scule with that organization since the
great strike of the engineers In 1885.
Heretofore ull wage schedules for the
engineers on the Burlington have been
promulgated over the signatures of
the railroad's managers, the Brother
hood having no option in the matter
of acceptance. This time the schedule
was signed by the officers and by the
members of the general committee of
the brotherhood, after a throe weeks'
conference.
The hostility of the Burlington road
to the Brotherhood was the result of
the engineers' strike of 1885-6, when
400 men deserted their engines. Paul
Morton, then In the Burlington's ser
vice, hud charge of the strike for the
railroad, and won the most stubborn
battle in the history of the Brother
hood .
Several months ago word was sent
forth that the engineers employed by
the Burlington could openly Join the
Brotherhood If they so desired. Since
that limp fully 70 per cent of them
have become members of the organi
zation.

Mt ST NOTIFY HEALTH VFFICER.
Of All 4'ases of lroven or Possible
ContugtoiiH Disease.
In speaking this morning of the
diphtheria situution. Dr. W. O. Cole,
city physician, called attention to sec
tion 11 of ordinance 252, which re
quires that a written notice be given
the city physician of any illness In
which there is any reason for believing
thut the trouble may be contagious.
This action Is required of every house
holder, and it is also suggested that
neighbors make reports of sickness In
their community should the same not
have been done by the family In which
it exists.
According to Dr. Cole, it Is evident
that the 'present cases of diphtheria
have been caused through mild cases
of the disease being allowed to go
without quarantine. Many recent
cases of throat trouble among children
are believed to have been mild dlph
thclrla, but as such was not known,
the children were allowed to be
about us usual, thus exposing others.
Consequently,, the doctor wishes to
exercise strict watch over all cases of
such nature, even if of a mild form.
In .order thut the disease muy be
stamped out.
In the opinion of Dr. Cole there Is
no necessity for children remaining
out of school through tho fear of
diphtheria except In the case of those
who have a predisposition toward
throat trouble. In fact, he believes
that In the majority of cases children
ure really safer attending school than
they would be remaining out, as the
sanitary conditions of the buildings
ure good, and all precautions are be
ing taken to guard against a spread
uf the epidemic.
HEARST GAINING GROUND.
Hilling liv Court Believed to Be to Ills

the ruling Is to the advantage of
Hearst. It will be at least three weeks
before the board o( canvassers can

Washington, Nov. 18. The board

Washington, Nov. IS. The inter
ior department today Is in receipt of
a letter from the Ynklma Indian
agent, which states that United States
Judgts Whltson and Hauford both
hold that liquor may be introduced on
allotted Indian lands without conflict
ing with the law. In view of that
fact. Agent Lynch writes that further
arrests of bootleggers seems a waste
of time.
The agent at present is inserting
an anti-liquor clause In all deeds issu
ing to Indians, thus following Secre
tary Hitchcock's latest Instructions.
While this cluuse insists that no whis
key shall be sold or introduced on the
particular tract covered by the deed.
It is conceded by Lynch that this will
have little effect, for the reason that
the court's decision declaring the sale
and Introduction on all allotted Indian
land Is not a violation of the law.
Agent Lynch has been ordered to
proceed against all bootleggers and
make their cases a matter of record
in the hope that the supreme court.

opinion In the Heft case, will sustain
