NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Rapid Progress OF the Work OF Con.
saruetion-wOnderfu Growth.

ST. Paul, June Henry Willard, Pres
ident OF the Northern Pacific railroad, ac-
companled by his guests, who are the man
ayers of large Joint stock banks in Ger
many, and several officials OF the railroad,
arrived here this morning. The special
train consisted of Mr.. Wizards private car,
two directors cars dining car and baggage
car.
The party left the Big Horn river at s:12
O'Clock last evening, after going the whole
length of the track, which is now compile
ted westward distance Of eight hundred
and fifty-three miles from st. Paul. The
very substantial bridge over the Big Horn
river will be completed in ten days, and
the tunnel through the Big Horn noun
tains just beyond the stream, will be ready
for use at the close of this week. Grading
is done for a distance OF a hundred and
seventy miles westward OF the Big Horn,
only leaving six miles to finish in order
to reach Benson's landing, the proposed
terminus of the Yellowstone division.
The work is pushed on rapidly by Her
man Clark, the contractor, who has i've
thousand men at work, and twenty-five
hundred mules. Willard expresses himself
greatly pleased with the progress OF the
road and the general development Of the
country. Wheat crops all along the line
were never in a more prosperous condition,
and there has been a wonderful growth in
the towns and villages during the last
'eftffmIgratIun 10 tue grva, ..v.ynuesv "'"'
never before so great, especially IN the
James river valley and the fine wheat lands
of Kidder county, west of the Missouri
river.
The gentlemen were greatly surprised at
what they learned of the town OF Billings,
which is now seventy miles from the railroad
track but which will be reached by cars
early next month. From a careful census
taken on the third of this month, 1t was
found that there was apopulation OF four
hundred and ninety souls, living in eighty
seven houses and tents, the great deihcuity
being now in the lack Of building material.
The first number of a nicely printed news
psper appeared on Saturday last, and the
| founders of the town have already begun
grading for a street railroad. This is a re-
markable instance of rapid growth ot a place

WASHINGTON, June Hewitt seems 10
be disposed to investigate the cost of our
alleged navy, and has introduced another
series Of resolutions asking for additional
information. The first installment is sug-
gestive, and especially those figures which
exhibit the cost of repairs. The Tennessee,
kearsarge, Nandalia, Enterprise, Alliance,
and Gantic, known as the North Atlantic
squadron, sailed from Hampton Roads, re-
Gently, and it is not probable that any one
whosaw the Tennessee leaving the harbor
was reminded of the fact that the repairs
made upon her since 1865 have cost ST.
4+6,S4S. Yet this is the sum expended
upon her in repairs by two bureaus. About
SSS6,OoO was expended by the Bureau of
Construction and Repair in the years 1872
S-i-5, and $2S9, 900 in ISIS by the Bureau
Of Steam Engineering. The Bureau OF
Equipment has also expended on her since
lS65 the sum Of S476, 221, one-third Of which
was expended in lS74,5. Ii would cost now
$4,000 to fit her for battle with an enemy
Of the same class. In one OF the statements
furnished il is said that the total cost of
the vessel up to October l, 1881, has been
81, $40, ,235, without machinery; but this
must refer to the work OF the Bureau of
Construction and Repair. The cost of the
machinery and the repairs on it has been
nearly 81, 100000.
The repairs made upon the Kearsage by
ha pnraap, Of rNnSfrrnf,p, anl PaDatr
have costs $500, $50; those made by the
Bureau of Steam Engineering have cost
S232, 449. The cost of repairs under the
first head averaged Sis, cooper year for the
four years 1ST23-4-5, and large part of the
expense under the second head was incur
red in 1851 The Bureau of Equipment
spent SlSG, 900 on the vessel.
A statement is also furnished relating
TO the time and cost required to fit each
one of list of sixty.eight steam vessels to
engage in a battle with an enemy of the
same class. OF these twenty-five need no
attention from the Bureaus of construction
and Repair, Steam Engineering and Equip
ment, but all require guns, The guns
which are needed would cost 81, ,523, ,5il,
and they cannot be manufactured in less
than from five to seven years The re-
mainder of the vessels in the list require
attention from every bureau, and the total
cost of fitting up the entire list, including
guns. would be $22,514,OOO. There is an adj
ditional list of forty-fve vessels, some of
which are tugs, the others being large ves-
sells, which are either not worth repairing
or worthless for naval purposes. e..

The Proclamation.

PITTsBURG, June 7.-President Jones has
issued proclamation, which is subscribed
to by any every albor leader of prominence
in this district. Among other things it
says:
AFTER awhile, when asked by their
tarif:favoring employers to take part in a
tariff demonstration, or TO carry tariff
motto, we will ask back what benefit to US
is 0 tariff on coal and iron, while our labor
is unprotected to be attacked and pau
perized by cheap labor enticed here from
Europe and Asia. The Iron Workers AS.
sociation, the Glass Workers Union and
the Coal Miners Association are entitled to
as much protection from this government
as the iron, glass and coal exchanges. More
they do not ask, but as much they will soon
insist upon, If men fresh from the old
countries are to be misled here to be used
to cripple or to ruin our trades unions.
Every time the coke employees have at
tempted to lift themselves from squalor,
dependence and destitution by asking
slight increase in wages, carloads OF emil
grants direct from Castle Garden promptly
arrive to break down whatever little of or
ganization or spirit that appears among the
men. Twice has the same plan broken
down the organization OF the Montour
mines, and, in order to deprive them and
us of the universal right OF cor versatfon,
and refuse to allow any one to speak TO
them. II we step on their property we are
arrested for trespass or conspiracy. If the
suffrage OF the workingmen is to continue
to be the bulwark OF protection to home in
dustries, this war on organization must be
stopped.
III this tactic is continued wQrkingmen
will either obtain such laws as will protect
alike the trades associations of both labor
and capital or refuse to support tariff
which prevents competition in foreign pro-
ducts for the benefit of the employed, and
which at the same time not only leaves
wide open, but also encourages the compe-
tition of foreign labor to the detriment Of
the American employe."
