refused to answer certain questions
relating to the sources of information
upon which they based certain state¬
ment;- made in their correspondence,
requests that said witnesses be pro¬
ceeded against for contempt as pro-
vided by the act of 1857. Mr. Hill

port did not present such a question
of privilege as to displace the regu-
far order. The report was read

The chair field that ihe report was
privileged, but did not call for any
action on the part of the senate, but
for the action of the presiding officer
of the senate. Mr. Hill appealed

recting the sergeant - at - arms to
bring Elisha Edwards before the bar
of tiio senate to chow cause why he
should not be punished for contempt,

Today alt trains on the Evansville and
Terre Haute railroad were held up at

found the trains were allowed to pro¬
ceed, but when coal was found the
cars were sidetracked. On the Big
Four the trains were also put through
an examination and several box cars
loaded with coal were taken from tho
trains.
At Minonk, Ill., the striking miners
have obstructed the tracks of the Illi¬
nois Central and Santa Fe Railroads,
and will permit no trains to pass

Ties, bolts, etc., have been put across
the tracks at the crossing, and thr
tracks have been lined with crowds of
miners, but there have been ne dis¬
turbances today. Tho first train arriv¬
ed at 11 o’clock, bringing two loaded
coal cars. The miners refined to let
it pass unless the coal is set out, and
the train is still here. Mayor Tool
called on the sheriff for help, and the
latter has been swearing in deputies
all day. During the afternoon the
sheriff telegraphed to Gov. Aitgeld,
statiug the situation and asking
that troops be seat to assist him in
enforcing order. Tho governor re¬
plied that three companies of the Fifth
Infantry from I’eora, Caulou and
