A Rumor I hat seems 10 Have No Foun-
daifoa.
A RxGSTSR reporter dropped on to
rumOr this week that the glsssworkers'
strike would be settled some time the COM
ing week, snd that the oSertures were TO be
made by the manufacturers. Meeting
prominent manufactRreF last night the re-
porter sccosted him in regard to the matter,
and in answer to question as to whether
the rumor was correct or not, he replied:
1T is without foundation. | have been
deeply interested in the matter and.am sure
that should any such move be on foot
among the manufacturers would have un-
doubtedly heard something Of it. However,
/ understand that the president of the glass
workers union will be down some time the
coming week and make some settlement OF
the trouble, but how true the assertion is |
cannot say. HoweveE, It is hoped by sll
parties that the differences viii De adjusted
satisfactorily at an early date. l have
made Gn estimate of the amount
of money this strike has cost
the workers and you may pint it if you
wish The strike has been, up to the pres
ent date, in existence eighteen months, aud
the amount paid oct By all tAe factor es now
affected by the strike was $4,000 each
week; this makes $lS0000. In addition TO
this it is estimated that $50 900 have been
paid TO strikers for assistance, and adding
this you see it fOo;s up to the enormous sum
Of $5C 1000, which has been almost entire
" out Of circulation in this section during
the eighteen moRlhs, which is q big amount
We'll ont on the other hand do not
tie manufactures lose a proPortionste
amount
ooh certainly. We sose our profits, but
you see this money is divided among
smaller aumber OF men, and therefore does
not have such general circulation, but be
this as it may, you Oan give ii for what it is
worth.
This ended the conversation, and the re-
porter left, Cogltsting on the matter and
cameto the simple conclusion that it would
be better inr bOla parties and the public in
general Io hayes settlement Of the strike,
and The resumption Of the glass factories.

Special Correspondence Of Ae Sunday Rsgisser.
WASHINGTON, April 23,-It is little odd
that the three weal;hiest men of the Senate
should all have come from the same section
Of the country. That strip Of country
stretching from the southern end Of Lake
Michigan up the western shore Of that body
of water, seems peculiarly adapted TO the
development Of wealthy men. The three
wealthiest men in the Senate have all lived
in little section of this great country run
ming along the lake shore only couple or
three hours, ride by rail Senator
Stanford, Senator Sawyer, and Sen
ator Fair are the three men refer.
red to, and their wealth is estimated
10 aggregates hundred millions They are
the interesting figures in the Senate. Stan
ford, who is now conceded the wealthiest
man in that BODY, went to Wisconsin when
q Young man and settled down to the prac
tice of Law, there remaining until the gold
fever of '49 carried him off and gave him
the foundation on which he built one Of the
most colossal fortunes in this country of
millionaires.f Senator Fair was for some
time aresidert OF Chicago, where he com
pleted his edacation Just in time to fall a
victim to the gold fever at the same time
Mr.. STAFFORD was carried off. Senator Sawyer
was resident of Wisconsin at then, but re-
jecting the popular gold digging mania he
stuck to his saw logs with such success that
he has been until the arrival OF Senator
Stanford as the wealthiest man in the
Senate.
They are an interesting study, these three
milhonsire statesmen. Take them as
lot or individually they are the most modest
and retiring men in the Senate. Yet they
are not only it weslthiest men but are all
possessed of ability Of which they might
claim and take much higher
rank in the every day work OF
that body than they do, whether it is a
characteristic of millionaires 10 be modest
your correspondent does not attempt 10 say
but this is undoubtedly the Case with these
particular men They are not on their feet
ss many times in an entire session AZ some
of their less wealthy and less able fellow
Senators are sometimes in day. Ia the
matter of dress aud personal appearance
they are quite as modest as in their states
msnship. A quiet suit of some dark ma
terial, quiet, unostenta;ious manner and q
lack Of any distinguishing reatule in ap
pearance or wars, makes it quite impossible
for you 10 ste!i, looking down from the
galleries or meeting these owners OF mil
lions, that they differ in any particular from
their fellow Senators, except that you viii
take them iot-the most modest men ia the
whole body.
