WHAT A sTRIKn COST.
Nearly a Million Lost on the New
York Street Car Troubles.

Nearly a Million Lost on the New
York Street Gar Troubles.
NEW YORK, June l6.-FIgures showing
the cost of the strike on the Third Ave
nue. street car line are interesting. The
losses of the men, the companies and
others combined foot up about 81, 900, 900.
During the general tle-ups 8,470 men were
out. w ben the strike began nine weeks
ago there were employed by the Third
Avenue Company 1850 men. This in
cluded the men of the cable road on Tenth
avenue, the line on One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street and the Grand Central
Depot line. IL is said TO be a safe esti-
mate 10 average the earnings OF these
men at 81 a day. Thus their net loss in
wages during each day of the strike has
been So 800, or So, 100 each week. They
have now been out nine weeks. Thus
their total loss in wages up TO date is
S207, 900.
Another element Of loss to the working
classes IN connection with these TWO
tie-ups was the cost to employees, partlcu-
larly those living in Brooklyn, who were
kept from their work from one TO several
hours because OF the lack of travelling
facilities. To piece workers this was a
costly delay, and the loss involved to the
wage workers must have been at least
$4,000 for the two days. An item OF cost
because Of the strike is also found IN the
loss to the tradespe0ple because OF the
economy that has become neces-
sary. This is at least 10 per
cent. of the amount of wages
lost to the Third A venue men, or $4,000
The Third Avenue Company estimate
their total loss because OF the strike at
over $4,000 What the two days tie up
cost the other roads from the cessation OF
traffic, deducting the money they saved by
the men being absent, is carefully esti-
mated at 100000.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The House to-
uay went into committee of the whole,
win Dir. Blount in the chair, on the legis-
latlVe appropriation bill.
Inc clause relating to the pension Of
nee gave rise to the usual discussion as to
parnsan methods employed in the conduct
Oh that bureau by the present and pre-
Vious administrations. Then a long and
at times amusing discussion ensued as
10 the number of Democrats and Repub-
means, respectively, who entered the army
at the beginning OF the war.
A TINIE-wORN SUBJECT.
As this was a time-worn subject but
little genuine interest was taken in the
debate, winch promised toscontinue to
such length that Sir. Randall suggested
night session at which the gentlemen
might give their views on the matter,
whlle MIR. Payson suggested to some gen.
tlemen around him the prOpriety of ap-
pointing special committee to settle
once Tor all the vexed question of the po-
lJlcal status of the Union army. Finally
the discussion was closed with a speech
by Mr.. Curtin, of Pennsylvania. in which
he appealed to the House to proceed to
business and quit fighting the war over
again.

amendment which, after a short debate,
was agreed to, increasing the appropria-
tlons for the Bureau of Labor in the ag-
gregate S39,6l0, so as to make the appro.
prIation equallto the estimates of the Com
missioner of Labor.
Then there was brief recurrence of
the discussion of yesterday, MIR. Hiscock,
OF New York, reiterating his statement
mat according to the correct estimates
there would be at the close of the next
fiscal year deficiency Of from $11 zoo, 600
to $l4 600, and Mr.. Morrison, of llli-
Dols, cOntending that there would be a
surplus of at least $30, 100000.
Mr.. Cabell, of Virginia, offered an
amendment reducing from 81, 050,O0 so
$,9O0,OOe the appropriation for the sala-
rles and expenses OF agents, surveyors,
gaugers and stOrekeepers in the Bureau
of Internal Revenue. The sum suggested
by him, he said, was amply sufficient
and was $4,000 in excess of the expendi-
lures Of the present year.
THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED.
Mr.. Randall said there would be no
danger in adopting the amendment. 1t
was booCu upOh WHICH ldu
come to the committee since the estimates
were submitted.
The amendment was agreed to.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. The amendments
agreed to in committee increasing the
compensation of the Assistant Treasurers
at Chicago, st. Louis, Boston and San
Francisco were rejected by the House.
The amendment appropriating $40, ,00C
for additional emergency clerks, mes
sengers and watchmen at the sub-Treas-
ury at New York, was also rejected.
The other amendments we're agreed to in
gross, and the bill was passed.

endar.

GEN. LEE AROUSED.

Kansas Clergyman.


Kansas Clergyman.
ST. LOUIS, June 16.-On]Decoration day
Rev. S. McChesney, pastor of the Metho-
dist church at Topeka, Kan, delivered an
address in which he used the following
languages:
will not attempt to conceal or describe
my emotions when learned that on March q
last year, at the time OF the Inauguration
ceremonies at Washington, anex- Confederate
General-Fitzhugh Lee-led that military
procession IN Confederate uniform with the
gallant Sheridan relegated to an inferior po-
sition in that line.
The address attracted considerable at
tention at the time and met Gen. Lees
eyes, for yesterday the Secretary of the
Democratic State Committee received the
following letter from him:
COMMoNwEALTH OF VIRGINIA,
GOVERNORS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, VA. June TO- 1867
The statements of DIR. McChesney are false,
viz: that an eX-Oonfederate General led the
military in the procession in Confederate unit
torn, as well as his statement that Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan in blue WAS placed in an in
ferior position, and that the military was
martialed by a man in the color OF ashes.
Just after reading his absurd sentences, com
pairing the color OF gray to asnes, etc,
read in another paper of the action OF
some Federal soldiers in WatertOwn, n. Y.
who had received pensions under the laws of
the United States. but who. not requiring
them, had sent them to some Confederate SOL
dieTs residing in this State, because they
thought their necessities greater. Which +
doing The most for the promotion of restored
union OF cOequal States-the narrow m nded
blO0dthirsty preacher who has probably never
smelled gunpOwder, or the ex-UniOn soldiers
who stopped lighting when the war was over?
/ can only pity a man who remains belligerent
so long, and express the hope that after death
his ashes may be at peace. Very respectfully
yours, F1TZHUGH LEE.
