THE sEcRETAN PICTURE SALE.
France Keeps s'The Angelus"--The Cor.
Coran Gallerya Buyer.

A special cipher cablegram has been received
by TIE EVENING SrAR from Paris, since con-
nrmed by press dispatches, conveying the in
formation that the French government has
purchased Millet's famous painting. 1.-The An
gelus," which formed a part and the chief
attraction Of the great Secretan collection. the
sale of which commenced in Paris yesterday.
The price paid for it was $4,000 francs, or
about $l10,000. This is by very much the
largest amount ever paid for picture painted
during the present century; and when it is
remembered that the composition includes but
two figures, simply and broadly treated, and
covers q canvas only az by 25JS inches in size.
sold the sum it produced added almost nothing
to the slender income Of the artist, the sale
becomes notable event in art history
1t Is no breach Of confidence now TO state
that the Corcoran Gallery sent special repre-
sentatives over to the sale, with the requisite
funds, and instructions to bid for 1.-The An
gelus'' up to 100000. OF course, when the
French government entered the lists
as o bidder it meant that il was de-
termined to retain the picture in that
country, as the property Of the nation, at any
price, and it was therefore practically useless
for other aspirants to contend for the prize.
Still, as stated above, the bidding went up to
$4,000, when other contestants withdrew
from the struggle for that particular picture.
Some consolation for the disappointment ex-
perienced by the Gallery in this respect is
found in the fact that it succeeded in securing
one Of the best paintings in the collection,-a
landscape by Theodore Rousseau. 1t is entitled
1.-THE Farm in the Woods" and, though not
large, is an exceedingly fine example of the
artists best work. 1t is likely also that other
pictures in the collection will be acquired by
the Gallery before the sale closes, as its dele
gates have ample means and authority to that
end

WORK ON THE CANAL.
Delayed by the Rain-Unfounded Ru-
mors Of Strike.

Work On the repairing OF the Georgetown
level Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is pro-
ceeding rs rapidly as possible, but the heavy
rains have caused great deal OF delay.
This morning there were nearly 400 men at
work, scattered along the entire length OF the
level There were rumors all over George
town yesterday and to-day which indicated a
possible strike among the iaborers
1t is said that they are discontinued with the
present rate of remuneration-Si.25 per day
and will insist upon an increase of Is cents.
Several Of the men said that everything had
been arranged for a stoppage Of work on Sat-
urday, but the scheme fell through.
Contractor Becker, of the firm Of Becker &
Blundon, told a STAR reporter this afternoon
that he had heard nothing of the threatened
strike. Georgetown, he declared. was full of
rumors o. any and every description.
I'VE have" said he, "a lot Of old women
over here who are not able to attend to their
own business. but who insist on looking very
closely after other peoples affairs. Only q
few minutes ago one of the miliers
told me he had been informed that
we had thrown up the contract You can hear
anything you want to hear. There will be no
strike among our laborers. Men are very plen-
tful and We can get all We want at Si.25 q
day.

FIGHTING DEATH.
Morris Adler Still Holding His Own.

Quiet and confident is Morris Adler to-day,
and while there is nothing on which to base
any confidence save only existence, on the con-
trary there are no symptoms of anything like
immediate danger Of death.
Practically the patients condition is un-
changed since yesterday morning. There has
been less of pain and more of rest
Last night was without incident and when
the doctors made their examination to-day
there was no change visible to their practised
eyes.
They are much surprised at the tenacity with
which Adler hangs on to the thread of life and
they also wonder when that thread is going to
break.
Adler eats just as much, perhaps little
more, than he did a week ago, and there is
not the slightest appearance of weakness in the
wounded mans eyes, although they are looking
right into the slowly-approaching face of the
king Of terrors.

Increase i'm the Print Business.

FALL RIVER, MASS, July "A comparison of
the business done in the local print cloth mar
ket for the first six months Of 1889 shows a
considerable increase over the business done
during the corresponding period in 1883. Dur
the six months ended June 80, 1885, the total
production was 4,060,00 pieces, and the total
sales were 4512, 900, or 452.OO pieces in excess
of the production. For the corresponding
period in 1888 the production was 4,475,-
900 pieces, and the sales were 4268, 600.
ton and increase of 244,0OO pieces in the sales
for the past six months. The decrease in pro-
duction was mainly due to the strike in March
last. The contracts now extend to January.
Most mills well sold ahead for the next
three months, and an advance of prices to 4
cents for CAS- is expected.

THE PROPOSED GABLE ROAD.
The Work Of Preparation Well Under
Way.

The management of the Washington and
Georgetown railway company has things so ar
ranged now that the construction of the cable
road from the arsenal to It'll and Boundary
streets can be pushed along as rapidly as is
compatible with the thoroughness necessary in
such great aud expensive work. A large
force OF men is tearing down the brick stables
near the rivers edge, while another crowd is
engaged in erecting temporary frame buildings
in which the horses will be sheltered for some
time. The building which will stand upon the
site of the stables now being torn down will be
devoted to the machinery by which the cable
will be run.
ANU,rBER OF CONTRACTS
have already been made and the firms are
busy executing the orders. The winding ma
chinery has to be in place by December / of
this year. 1t will be furnished by the Walker
Manufacturing company, of Cleveland, Ohio
The engines will be especially good and DOW
erful-two of the Reynolds Corliss compound
condensing- from the shops of Edwin p. Ailis
of Milwaukee. The steam will be generated
in Babcock 4 Wilcox boilers, which, with the
engines, must be furnished by November 1.
Other cable material contracted for consists
of 1900 regular yokes. so special yokes, and
1.030 manhole frames and collars. These latter
will be delivered between August Is and No.
vember Is by the McHose Il Lyon company, of
Dayton Ohio.
James H. McGill, Of this city, has the cement
contract, and he will furnish 5000 barrels.

needed.
Early next week the company will make the
award for street excavation.
THERE MAY BE SOME DELAY.
'when win the road be ready for operation
by cable?" asked a STAR reporter of President
Hurt this morning.
''That cannot be answered just now" replied
Mr.. Hurt. There are certain matters over
which we have no control and we may be
delayed somewhat The gas and water pipes
have to be removed out OF our way. The gas
pipes must be taken mp by the Gas
company and the water pipes by the water
department or the city government. With
those removals we have nothing to do ex-
cept to pay for them; all will be done
at our expense. We are all very
much pleased with the assistance which Is be-
ing rendered us from every quarter; everybody
has tried to help and no one attempts to dis
courage.
The people seem to realize the value of the
rapid transit we propose to give them; they
| see the advantages In II and they are e'lxioui
TO do all In their power to help u.

share of the money, only the needy ones
receiving funds. 1t is probable the
money will be given out on the
percentage plan, but the age Of q person, how
many children he has dependent upon him
will all be taken into consideration. Each ap-
plicant for cash relief will have to make affi-
dayit as to his loss, and will be compelled to
