RIVERS AND HARBORS.
The Bill Has Majority When Not il

The Bill Has a Majority When Not in
Conflict With the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 26-The River and
Harbor Committee will try again to-
morrow in the House to displace private
business SO as to get consideration for the
river and harbor bill. They are likely to
succeed, because they have a majority as
against any measure but the tariff bill
The House has now disposed of about one
third of the river and harbor bill. 1t will
take at least four whole days more TO dis
pose of it. The Mississippi river fight is
yet to come, as well as that over the propo-
sition to purchase or condemn one of the
locks and dams of the Monongahela
River Navigation Company, which
proposition is alleged by the
company to be the idea of coal ring which
wants its monopoly strengthened by free
dom from tolls. There will probably be
sharp talk on both points.
Chairman Blanchard is now confident of
the ultimate passage of the bill. Not more
than $780, 900 in all will be added to it in
the House. If the Senate does not add more
than that,t President Will probably sign

RLuFFEp BY BOSS BREWERS.
The State Arbitrators Fail to Get Them
on the Witness stand.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The State Board
of Mediation and Arbitration met to-day in
the Aldermanic Chamber for the purpose Of
Investigating the troubles between the boss
brewers and their workmen. The boss
brewers, or United States Brewers Associa-
tion, were represented by Hon. Ashbel B.
Fitch and Samuel Untermeyer, and
the workmen by Samuel Gompers
The chairman of the board
in opening the proceedings stated
the object of the investigation, and said the
board would first examine the employers.
Mr. Untermeyer then said the United
States Brewers Association declined to
acknowledge the authority of the board to
pry into the private affairs of citizens. His
clients recognized no strike, no lockout, nor
the existence of any trouble between the
brewers and their employees His clients re-
fused to be examined or to have their
business made public. They were
present, he continued, simply as spectators.
The chairman said: "Well, we will then
hear the workmen." The examination of
the witnesses for the workmen added moth
ing to what has already been published
concerning the strike but it brought into
prominence the socialistic and anarchistic
predictions of Secretary Herbrandt, who
is at the head of the Brewers Union and
editor of the BrelOers' GdSette.

Flames from Spreading.
BOSTON, April 26,-The Atlantic machine
works, corner of Borden and Maverick
streets, were burned this morning, causing
an estimated loss of S150,000. The fire

tion is that it caught from wires from the
electric light. Assistance was asked from
the city proper, but before it arrived, the
flames had made great headway. The rear
portion of the building was quickly de-
stroyed and scene of great excitement was
caused when the walls fell in, carrying with

ing to al joining buildings. Four workmen
