THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
A Hard March Up the Mountains-Inde-
fatigabie Anglers.

CAMP CAMERON, Yellowstone River, Aug.
terday morning, and all of the boys of the
party, rested and ipvigorated by the days
sojourn among the grand scenery about the
canon and falls of the Yellowstone, gladly
took the trail leading northward to our last
camp on the banks of the famous
river. There are two trails leading
from the lower falls to Barnet's bridge
One follows the canon along its brink for
five or six miles, then leaves it and passes
to the eastward of Mount Washburn. 1t is
difficult route for twelve milestone con-
slant desert. The other and better one we
followed, and passed over the westward
slope of the same mountain. From the sum-
NIT of Mount Washburn, 10000 feet above
the level of the sea, the most ex-
tended and comprehensive view of the park
scenery was obtained. To the northward and
east Of the grand elevated and snowy ridge
and peaks of the Rocky mountains, royal
turrets rising to the sky eastward and south
the great banks of snow lay low upon the
peaks of the Shoshone range. The Grand
canon rom this point looks like narrow
gorge fringed with dark pines. In the dis
tance can be seen some of the great geysers,
sending forth puffs OF steam. and giving this
locality the appearance of busy factories, and
the gray volcanic rocks which crown the
summit OF the mountains, relieved at
intervals by grassy slopes. and
upon them sprinkled beds of lovely
wild flowers. In the cabin on the top
of the mountain, they who have had courage
to make the ascent have left their cards,
with notes, some giving the most wretched
accounts of the experiences which resulted
from the cold winds, snow, and sleet which
greeted them, instead of the pleasant tenn
perature and magnificent views they hoped
and expected.
The President and Senator Vest tried their
luck at fishing yesterday afternoon, after
rather trying ride of twenty-one miles
over rough mountain trail and were re-
warded by catch of eight and six fine trout.
Our camp, named Cameron by the President,
in honor of the Senator from Pennsylvania.
was situated on a grassy slope beside grove
of aspens, and overlooking the valley of the
river, upon which our herds peacefully
grazed. To-day's march was over a wagon
road to the Mammoth Hot Springs, and to-
morrow we expect to reach the terminus of
branch of the Northern Pacific railroad.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The Orleans Princes Objections to Their Ger
man Connection, and the Reason.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Cologne Gazette,
commenting on the answer of Count de Paris
and Duke de Chartres to the Grand Duke of
MISUNDERSTANDING letter of coincidence
on the death of Chambord, says the Princes
object to being reminded that their mother
was German, and expressed their wish to
break off their German connection, as they
find it might interfere with their political in
trigues. The house of Mecklenburg-Schwer
willingly complied with the wish of the
French royal pretenders. The Gazette init
mates that this fanatical hatred of Germany
will be source of danger to Germany and
the peace of Europe in case of the restoration
of a monarchy in France

The Gale OFF Nova Scotia.

HALIFAX, Aug. 31.-Late intelligence of
the effects of Wednesday nights storm
around the coast of Nova Scotia show the
damage to shipping to be quite extensive.
Ten schoopers were driven ashore, some COM
pletely wrecked and others badly damaged
The fury of the gale was terrific. The tower
of the new Catholic Church at Cape Breton
was carried away, and large wooden build
ing moved from its foundation
The steamer Bryn Glas, of Pensacola for
Barrow, arrived to-day for coal She re-
ports that she felt the storm very severely,
From o'clock on Wednesday evening to
daylight the following morning the wind
blew with terrific force, and while the en-
gines were at full speed, to try to keep the
ship up to the wind, the feed-pipe of one of
the boilers burst and the steam had to be
shut off. With the assistance of the sails
she was kept up to the wind till
the engines were got to work again.
With the use of one engine
she bore up for this port. The accident to
the boiler will not detain the steamer here.
A telegram from Cowbay, Cape Breton re-
ports the gale fearful there. The American
brig Atlas and schooners Edward Johnson
and Volunteer were driven ashore. and all
except the Edward Johnson are probably
total wrecks. The Volunteer, which was
laden with coal, had her bottom knocked

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
DIR. NOrvin Green's Further Testimony Be-

DIR. Norvin Green's Further Testimony Be-
fore the Senate subcommittee.
New YORK, Aug, 31.-Before the senate
committee on labor and education, to-day,
Dr. Green, president of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, testified at length as to
its affairs. He said the messages received in
the New York office ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000 day. In answer to question by
Senator Blair, DIR. Green said that there were
about 2, 600 stockholders, and that the largest
stockholder held about $50, 900, 600 of stock.
In answer to Senator George, witness said
that when the strike occurred it would have
been fatal to the interests of the company to
have yielded, as it would have been an ad-
mission that it would be in the power of the
operators to dictate terms. The company
would never consent to any such conclu-
sion.
Senator George-Is it, or is it not the pol
icy of the Western Union to break up COM
binations of employees organized for the pur-
pose of securing an advance of wages?
Wtness-We would not admit the right of
a few men to dictate to the many on what
conditions they should work.
Q.-Is it, then, the object of the company
to protect the free will OF the employees?
A.-Exactly to the extent | have mem
toned.
Q.-Do you mean to say that there is no
ulterior object in your policy towards those
employees who belong to the Brotherhood,
outside the benevolent features of their or
ganization?
A,-The fact that there were over 300 ap-
plcations in the office for employment
showed that the rank and file had not entered
willingly into the strike.
The subject was here changed, and in re-
ply to other questions the witness said that
The Indianapolis journal., 1883-09-01

they had expended 500, 600, 900 in cash, and
that there was an issue of $23, 400 600 in
stock shortly after 1860. The total issue of
stock was about $39, 100000. In the course
of further remarks on this point, DR.. Green
said: IF held stock of the Western Union
and had guarantee against any antagonistic
legislation, would not give it for 500, 000,-
900. The net earnings of the company are
S. O00, 900 per annum."
The witness was asked whether it was not
the policy of the company to crush out all
rival organizations and he replied that the
lines purchased by the Western Union were
worth more to them than they were to the
companies who sold them.
Q.-Is it not the policy of the company 10
absorb all the other lines of the country?
Ave mean to cover the entire country
all the telegraph business of the country.
Take, for instance, the Mutual Union,
which was earning 5000 a month and
spending it. We could earn it and keep
most of it. / think there was some talk of
buying up opposition lines, but advised
against buying of any more. We had to buy
the Mutual Union, as they were formidable
competitors and controlled extensive rail-
road lines. The Western Union did not buy
up lines TO prevent competition. When lines
were purchased the profit consisted in the
ability of the Western Union to do the work
of both with little more than the expense OF
one. The consolidation of telegraph compa-
rates except inscases where competition had
brought the rates down below the cost,
making an increase of rates absolutely
necessary. Rates have been re-
duced generally. All of the $780,
900, 600 stock of the company is dis
tributed, except about from $780, 900 to $780,
900, which is still the property of the COM
pany, because, in making the division. it was
not possible to divide the fractions Some
railroad companies have sold to the company
the exclusive right to build and operate tele-
graph lines; other companies had granted
| the privilege, with the reservation that it
should be only as far as they had the right
to grant such privileges. We have always
had competition. We control the business
because we have the longest lines. There is
| five per cent. advantage in having telegraph
on line Of railroad. Rates ale constantly
! being reduced. The 25-cent area is now ex-
| tended. There is no substantial consolida-
ton, combination, or union, of the railrod
and telegraph companies

New YORK, Aug 51.-A ST. Johns, N. F.,
special says: The heet of United States fl sh-

report violent storm on the Great Ban ks,
On Sunday last. The gale rose from the east
ward at s A. NJ, when hundreds of dores
were away from the vessels overhauling

lapsed in the sea.

The Condition of Trade.

New YORK, Aug. 31.-In their weekly re-
port, R. G. Dun & Co., of the mercantile
agency say: That the business of the coun-

its accustomed channels is indicated by the
steadiness with which the figures showing
bank exchanges at the chief centers are main
tanned. With depression in several promi-
nent branches of trade, and only moderate
activity in most departments of speculation,
it is rather surprising than otherwise that
these figures do not show marked decline

Pushing Work on the Panama Canal.

PANAMA, Aug. 31.-Work on the Pan
ANA canal is being pushed forward with
great energy. The total number of work
men employed is over 10000, principally
Jamaicans. The work is divided amongst a
number of contractors, all of whom except
two have begun operations. The sanitary
condition of the work people is very satis-
factory, and improving daily; although this
is the unhealthy season of the year, and the
sickness at Panama itself heavy, still the
percentage of cases on the canal work does
not exceed per cent, consequent upon the
excellent precautions taken by the COM
pany. There is little reason to doubt that
the company will complete the canal within
the next five years.

WHEN
LOST In A GREAT STORM.
A Violent Gale on the Great Fish
ing Banks of Newfoundland.
Not Less than One Hundred Small Boats
Swamped, and Eighty Men Find
Watery Graves.

ST. JOINS N. F., Aug. 31.-From arrivals
the past twenty-four hours from the Grand
Banks intelligence of alarming disasters to
the fishing feet have been received The
most reliable and definite news comes from
the Gloucester schooner Wachusett. She
was anchored about twenty miles southeast
of the Virgins, narrowly escaped the fury of
the storm and ran for land. While coming
in she passed through a vast amount of
wreckage which indicated the destructive
work of the gale. The storm arose from the
eastward shortly after sunrise on Sunday
last. 4 heavy sea rapidly piled up, and be-
came confused and choppy by
the wind veering to the north-north-
east. For thirty miles of the schooner's
course wreckage was encountered on every
side. Many dories were seen bottom side up,
and oars fish boards and other material in
large quantities were passed from time to
time. One French fishing brig alone lost
fonr dories with all hands. The vessels
decks were swept, cables parted, and anchors
were lost. A general estimate, based upon
the best information at present obtainable,
puts the loss of life at from sixty to eighty
souls, while the damage to the feet is meal
culable. At the time the gale sprang up
there were, it is assumed, 1000 dories away
at their travis, and it will be fortunate if the
extent of the disaster to the great bank fleet
is circumscribed within this report.
