Superin- tendent Collins says this morning there are no new developments in the strike, except that about a dozen telegraphers employed on the Prairie du Chien, Lacrosse and Northern divisions of the St. rani road quit work last night. He savs that Grand Chief Thurston, of the Order of Railway Telegraph ers, is deceiving the strikers in re gard to the number of men who have quit work, and that the trou ble is not so extensive as he repre sents. CincAoo, Jan. 17. Striking telegraphers on the St. l anl read claim to be gaining ground, and tiiat hftv men left work at noon to-day. Chief Thurston says the road is running passenger trains ob comparatively good time, but that freights are greatly impeded General Manager uarhng says there are only eeventy-two men out and that their places are all filled. As the strikers show letters and telegrams from 360 men who have gone out, it is evident that the general manager is not well posted. A Ueayy Landslide.

Repre ssntative Chandler ef Massachu setts, chairman of the select com mittee of the world's fair, to day presented to the house the report of the sub-committee that went to Chicago to examine into the con dition of matters there in relation to the world's fair. The report says in the expenditure of the public monev, the powers as sumed by the Woild'a Columbian commission produced confusion as well as caused unnecessary expen diture of the public money, which had been intended by congress to pay the expenses of the govern ment exhibit and not to pay ex cessive salaries to the onu'ers o: the cornmitfsion. Provisions the the report says, has b -en made to Dav the president, secretary and director-general annual salaries ol il2.000. 10.'(i0 and fM.uuu re soectivelv. and alno ?S,(KiO to the viec-cnairman oi me .tcuue committee. These salaries1, in the opinion of the committee, are excessive, and should not !e continued. Kxces sive pxpenses also have been in curred in the appointment of as large a number as 115 women on the board of ladv managers, and calling together the board when the duties which win devolve upon it were not ready for its attention The report says: "l our commit tee are of a decided opinion mat the fair cannot well be conducted to a successful termination under the dual management which is now in operation, in consequence of the construction placed upon the law bv the World's Columbian commission. The commission has exceeded its powers by the ap oointment of officers and commit tees to conduct the management of the fair in its executive details which, in our interpretation of the law, belongs solely to the world s Columbian Kxposition and iis officers." The commission was given a quasi veto power and not that of taking charge of the exe cution of plans for the fair. In order to carry out the sug gestions of the report to place the whole enterprise on a more solid footing, and carry out the evident intention of congress, the commit tee submits a joint resolution di recting the secretary of the treas ury ni t to approve any expense attendant on the meeting of the national commission of the board of lady managers except such meetings as niav be called at the time of the dedication and the opening of the fair, nor approve any payment attendant on the meeting of the executive commit tee of the commission of lady managers, except such meetings as may be held not oftener than once in six months ; providing for a reduction in the salary of the president of the national commis sion to r.o, exceed f-MH); wee chairman of the executive commit tee, $1,000, and secretary $3,000; president of the board of lady man agers not to exceed $5,000, secre tary $3,0;)0. Also that the secre tary of the treasury shall not approve the payment of any ex penses of the national commission or lady managers other than those before mentioned, which shall amount to not more than $10,000 per annum in the aggregate. The resolution appropriates $300,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, lt92, for the selection, preparation and arrangement, etc., and the employindntof the proper persons for the various governments. The committee renews the opinion that the director general and his em ployes should be paid from the exposition funds and not from the government appropriations. SAMOA N AFFAIRS.

Assanlt on Feelings. a poor horse was lett hitched in the street one cold night last week There stood the mute, shivering, noble animal, occasionally looking around in the hoe of seeing the man that was gahvanting around billiard", in a warm, comfortable room. The noble creature sighed occasionally to tlrnk that the law providing against cruelty to ani mals was such a dead letter. In the morning a good man came. tie looked into the animal's sad eves, "rerhaps," he said, as he unhitched him, "your owner may think it's none of my business how- much you sutler. And yet it is my concern. Cruelty to the poor dumb creatures that do so much good for us and depend upon us for protection, is an assault upon the feelings of the whole neighbor hood, it is my business to tale you into a comfortable stable and feed you, and by the uod oi pity, 1 m going to do it!'' And be did do it. We don't want much more of this criminality. It is our duty to expjse it. and we can be mighty cruel to cruel folks when we start in. Klamath Star. The Legislature. The scences about the senate chamber and the hall of the house are now not very animated. A few of the members are at their desks writing letters, preparing bills or looking over bills, but most of them have gone home, or at least out of the city. Many mem bers are in Portland, and most of the valley members are at home. There is some speculation as to the composition of the house standing committees, which no doubt Speaker (Jeer will appoint Monday, but no on1 except that gentleman himself can oiler any thing definite and ne will reserve this until the proper time. Many of the various funds are now ex hausted, and the secretary of state is not di awing a large amount of warrants, nor will he until some appropriation bills get through the legislature.
