Those who have spoken to the solici tor upon the matter express the linn belief that ho will decide that the ap portionment was not made In accord ance with the law and that, according ly, the additional inembets who are to bo elected at tho February election cannot take their seats. The Democtatlc mumbeis of council appear to have dropped all Interest lit the matter, uppnmitly safe In their billet that when April I comes around the new members cun be pi evented fioni tnklng their seats by the existing Demociatle majority of eleven In the common blanch. This would bring the new members Into com t with a peti tion for a mandamus to compel coun cil to seat them and the whole question would be thu made ripe for a Judicial opinion. Theieaieafeu members ol the com mon council, Including at least one Republican, who believe that an eflorl should be made at once to test the i ertillcates of nomination which havo been tiled, to thus prevent, If possible, the election of the additional niBniheis and thereby save the city a deal of litigation In the future. A question exists as to whether court would consider a contest of the certlllcates, on the ground that the recent apportionment was not made according to law. A well known law yer stated to a Tribune man tho other clay that certificates had been contest ed In the past In this county only on the plea that the primaries weie not properly conducted; that fraud existed or that there wus some technical omis sion or priors In the papeis them selves. He said he doubted ety much a to whether court would go outside of this and take up such a question as the legality of the apportionment af a basis for a contest. BARN BADLY DAMAGED.

Company Agrees That It Will Not Require Employes to Work With Non-Union Men, but It Is Provided That This Agreement Is Not to Bo Allowed to Interfere in any Way with the Company Receiving Sufll cient Men to Operate- The Koller and Seeley Cases. All the dmii;cr of a sttllse of the tlol ley men Is now passed. A working continct for n year line breu agreed upon between (lencral Manager Slllhnau and the employes' committee and the same has been intlllcd by President Claike. on the one side, and the employes' union on the other. The necessity plgimures will be at tached today. The contract is made up of the wage scale, the ten-hour agreement nnd the ngieement concerning the relations of the compnny to the union. It wus this last matter that threat ened a lenuwal of the sttlke, but after a week of conlerenect tin amicable ad justment has been reached. The original demand of the men was that none except union men should be employed by the company on any of Its cats or In the bain. When this was .submitted to lieneral Manager Slllluiiui, on week ago Satur day, he refused to pass upon It until he had consulted with Ptesldent Cituke. The latter came hole Wednes day and had a conference with the committee that day and the next. President Clarke agreed to acquiesce In everything except the clause cover ing mcmbeishlp In the union, and that, ho said, he could not and would not ratify. as c'o.MPr.oMisi:. Uy way of compromise, the ruin puny exptessed Itself as willing to sign an ugieement to the effect that no man should be discriminated against because of ills connection with the union, und thut as far as Keller und Seeley weie concerned the com pany would see to It that Seeley w not to work with union men, provid ing Keller was taken Into the union.

The men would not hear to the company's com promise proposition and came within an ace of adopting a motion to strlk- If the company did not agtce to the oilglnal demand within twenty-four hours. The more conservathe ele ment, however, pievalled and the mo tion to strike was laid ovei till the committee could again wait upon tics iiunpany ofllclnli and fnd"iivor to ef fect an amicable settlement. tine of the contentions of President Claike wat that the demand of the men was Illegal that the courts, thn? and again, had decided tut employer could not be constrained In the mat ter of choosing firployo, and that any agreement like the one which the men wanted ihe company to lgn was In direct loutllct with the letter and spirit of the law. ( 'ONSm,THD ATTOUN F.V. Ft May night the committee coii Fiilted Attorney M. V. Corny on thJ matter and next motnlng it waited on President Clarke and Mr. Slllimau with Its demands modllled to lead that no union employe should be loqulivd by the company to wot I; with non union men, except when such non union men had made appllejtloni for membetshlp in the union, and then not for a longer period ot lime than thirty days fiotn the dale ot the em ployment of said non-union man. After a session lasting from 9 o'clock In the morning unlll S o'clock In the afternoon, the company oiliciuls agreed to the Inset tlon of the clause In the contract, providing there was a codi cil attached to the effect that the "foregoing clause shall In no way In terfere with the company In seeming a stilrtclent number of men to operate Its system." It was also agieed that ihe compiny would In no way disci linlnate against membeis of the union; that Seeley should he cared for by the company, and that Keller should he taken Into the union. The men passed upon these matters yesterday moinlngut u session lasting from 2 till ti. They approved the rec ommendation of the committee that the modified demand und the codicil at tached by the company be concurred In, and also elected Keller a member of the union. Thin means that when u man Is em ployed by the company the men aro not to be required to teach him until he makes application for membership In the union, nnd that If at tho end ot thirty days he does not Join the union the company will have to dlsehaige him.
