there is no big money upon the bear side now,
aud there is quite q general impression that

Sage said he bought stocks all day yester-
day, and there was other good buying on the
prospects of q settlement of the Iowa pool

CAMP ROBERT LINCOLN, Wyo. Aug II.
The presidential party left Wind River a,
6 80 o'clock Wednesday morning and fol-
lowed Wind river nearly to the source, and
then commenced the ascent of Robert Lin
coin pass used by Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan last
year and named in honor of the secretary of
war. This pass is the shortest aud easiest
route between the valley of1the Wind river
and the valley of the Snake river.
The party reached the camp about eleven
O'Clock, having travelled about seventeen
miles. The camp, named Robert Lincoln.
Is situated on the crest of the back bone of
the Rocky Mountains, at an altitude of 5000
feet above the level of the sea. Within a
hundred yards of the camp are streams that
flow respectively into the Atlantic and Pa.
cifc oceans.
The president spent part Of Yesterday trout
fishing, and returned to camp with the heavi-
est catch of the party, the average weight of
the trout being two pounds. Sergeon For.

ot.enormous size and weight Other hunters
of the party brought in two antelopes and n
good supply of mountain grouse and wild
ducks.
Tomorrow morning the party will COM

camp in the valley of the Gros Ventre river.

THE LABOR COMMITTEE.
The Estimated Cost Of Telegraph Lines.

New YORK, Aug. II.
Daniel L. Robson, telegraph engineer and
contractor, was examined today by the L. S.
Senate subcommittee on education and la
Dor. He had seen McClellands estimate of
the cost of the construction of telegraph
line of eight wires from New York to Chicago
wherein the latter said il could be completed
for operation for 1925, 965. This, the witness
thought, was about half the real cost of con-
structOn. Such line would cost at least
$1,000 per mile. He was now prepared to
give any detailed estimate of the cost of con-
struction and equipment, and for this reason
Senator George said he thought the opinion
of the witness of not much value in evidence.
Awarm controversy ensued between the
senator from Mississippi and Senator Blair,
chairman, who accused his colleague of dis
courtesy to the witness in interrupting the
latter by any such expression of opinion.
Mr. George replied that he proposed to take
up as much time as he liked in questioning
the witness, and insist upon a complete state
ment of each item of expense in construction.
The witness refused to answer any question
any more definitely than he had done,
as he thought it wond be contrary
to his interest to do so.
In regard to rights of way, the witness had
known of cases where over $1,000 had been
paid for the privilege of erecting six poles.
This item was probably the most important
in the cost Of construction. On some routes
the cost of rights of way is much larger than
on others. The most expensive route in this
respect would be, he thought. that of route
between Washington and Boston. and the
right of way between Washington and Chi
cago.
1t would not be acquired except for large
consideration. Providing he had the rights
oy way possessed by the Western Union,
Robeson asserted that he would willingly
undertake to reproduce the entire telegraphlc
system of this country for $50, 900 900, and
would not hesitate at 100000.
The most valuable rights of way possessed
by the Western Union were those obtained
from the railroad systems of the country, and
no estimate bould be formed of the cost of
the Western Union of acquiring these esti-
mates. The ordinary expenses connected
with this item is incurred in obtaining the
rights of way through cities. This was u.s.
ually placed under the head of legal expenses
for lawyers were usually employed to OBJ
tain the privilege in these cases. The wit
ness had been engaged in the construction of
the Mutual Union, American Rapid and sew
eral railroad lines.
