STRIKE OF TELKGKtPUERD.
Both Sides Claiming That Every
thing Is In Their FiTiir,
Milwaikea, Jan. 17. 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.
Tacoma, Jan, 17,--A heavy land

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

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.

arrived in tins citv vesterdav af

from Montesano prison a few weeks

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

the valley members are at home.
There is some speculation as to
the composition of the house

Monday, but no on1 except that

thing definite and ne will reserve
this until the proper time. Many

appropriation bills get through
