CAMP ORDwAY, July %.
HELD UP STREET CONTRACTS.
Capt. Symons on the Request Of the Sth
Street NE. Property Holders.

As heretofore stated in TINS STAB there are
quite q number of contracts for street i'm
provements heldup as precautionary measure
to prevent the work overrunning the esti-
mates. Several days ago large delegation Of
property owners from 9Th street northeast,
called on the Commissioners and requested
that their streets be commenced at once and
suggested that less important streets be held
up in preference to theirs. The matter was re-
ferred to Captain Symons, who, in passing
upon the case for the benefit of the Commits
siOners, says.
''The writer of this letter asks that 9Th street
northeast be not delayed, but that it be i'm
mediately proceeded with, and in lieu thereof
that Sd street from E to f and A from Sth to
9th be delayed.
yesterday afternoon drove over 9Th street.
the part which is proposed to be left in,
l found that Sd street the portion which
is proposed to be left of, from to F, is on
one side Of the street solidly built up,
not a vacant lot, and as the completion of this
square will connect with the pavement on
street, which has been laid to Sd, and in this
manner connecting completed round of pave
ment up and out3d Therefore recommend
that this portion be not deferred, as believe
1t to be of more importance than the pavement
on 9Th street.
The short block on street from 9Th to 9th
might possibly be delayed better than the
work on 8th street. but it will not take its place
9Th street will be done during the
present year have the honor to recommend
that the work delayed be allowed to stand as
1t is. Ii not think the people living on the
streets which it is proposed to leave out in the
cold should have an opportunity to be heard"

THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION.
Bitter Opposition of the Indians to Sell.
ing Land-The Creeks to be Heard.

CHICAGO, July 26.-A dispatch from Fort
Gibson, /. T., says: The Cherokee commission
was met here yesterday by delegation Of
Creek Indians, headed by Indian Agent Ben
net, who asked that the Greeks be heard at once
in reference to certain technical matters con-
corning the sale Of their remaining lands. The
request was granted, and Gen. Fairchild has
arranged to meet the Creeks at Muscogee to-
day. The hard feeling between the Creeks
and Cherokees grows more bitter as pending
negotiations come to focus. The Cherokees
upbraid the Creeks for the Oklahoma deal and
their indignation increases as the Greeks make
further preparations to sell. The Cherokees
are almost unit in their opposition to any and
all transactions by which their lands are to be
marketed. Chief Mayes demonstrated firm
ness in refusing to call the council that bids
fair to
HANDICAP THE LABoRs OF THE COMMISSION
at the outset. He is reported to have publicly
stated to the commanding officers at Fort Glib
son that he would not call an extra session
under any circumstances. Gen. Fairchild ex-
pressed a desire to confer with the chief at
Tahlequah as soon as possible, ostensibly with
the object of inducing him to call an extra SEES
sion at once. During the delay that must en-
sue before the delegates assemble the general
says the commission will 60 to Cheyenne and
Arrapahoe agencies to consider their claims in
the Cherokee strip. The most important fact
that has occurred to the commission thus far is
the length to which their negotiations must
necessarily be protracted, and with the present
hostility demonstrated by the Cherokee au-
thorities 1t may be several months before pre-
Eminary negotiations can be opened. The COM
mission goes to Muscogee to-day.

The Northern Pacific's Plan.

CHICAGO, July GA dispatch from st. Paul,
Mimi, says: Robt Harris of Ohio, chairman of
the executive committee Of the board of direc-
tors of the Northern Pacific, in an interview
last night said. relative to the July meeting In
New York: I'VE have not yet decided Just what
we shall do, but the desired end may be reached
by the formation of Northern Pacific collateral
trust, which would operate in this way: For in
stance, If money were wanted for improvement
Of the Tacoma terminals company might be
organized which we will cali the Tacoma
terminal company. Bonds would be issued;
they would be offered in the market and would
be purchasers would ask: What is the Tacoma
terminal company And a long winded ex-
PLANTATION would be required, and before it was
half over purchaser might be lost. Suppose,
on the other hand, North.. rn Pacific collateral
trust is organized, and when such bonds as
those referred to are issued they could be put
into the trust collateral and bonds Of the trust
offered for sale. The name would carry weight
with it and the process would be much simpler.

BRAVE JOHN MYERS.
He Saves a House from Burning at the
Sacrifice Of His Own Life.

BALTIMORE, July 26.-An act Of almost un-
PARALLEL fortitude this morning was that Of
carpenter John Myers which will probably end
in the death Of that brave man, who is now
suffering great agony at his home.
Myers was at work on a building when gas
oline stove exploded within, and the dwelling
was threatened with fire. He rushed into the
house, grasped the stove around which the flames
were leaping, and raising it to his shoulders
ran out into the street. The gasoline
poured down his back and arms and
soon the flames were burning his flesh, but he
chung to his fiery burden until he had conveyed
it where it could do no further damage. His
sole thought was to save the house from de-
struction.
When he had dropped his burden he was suf-
fering intense torture. The bystanders ex-
tinguished the flames. His back and arms
were literally roasted and the blood ran in
streams from his burned body. There is little
hope OF his recovery.

THE LABOR CONGRESS.
English Representatives Return Dis
rusted With Its Outcome.

LONDON, July 26-The English delegates to
the socialist convention in Paris, known a. the
International labor congress, have come back
with no very exalted opinion OF their foreign
brethren who took part in the proceedings. They
say that their conventional associates are
tightly and care more about displaying their
oratoricai powers than agreeing upon measures
tending to advance the cause. The main OBJ
iect of the English contingent was the promo
ton Of the scheme to affiliate progressive So
cieties, no matter by what name known, with
trades union everywhere. This was too prac-
teal for the others, who said such an import
ant proposition demanded much deIberation
and then refused to deliberate upon it Their
idea seems to be that their English associates
things Of this earth and unable to appreciate
rhetorical flights about liberty and mysterious
hints about the mighty deeds to be done SOON
DISCUSSED WITH THE OUTCOME.
Messrs. Morris, Hyndnan and others OF the
Of the English socialists are disguised with the
issueiess outcome Of the congress, but are still
frank enough to admit that their views have
been somewhat modified by the representations
OF the better informed of their continental
conferees, who pointed out to them that trades
unions in England were not what they were
on the continent Thus, when the strike of the
Berlin bakers seriously disturbed the trade, the
government practically made it impossible for
the men to succeed by detailing bakers from
the ranks of the army to take their places.
Asser Liebknecht of the Marxist wing of the
socialists remarked this could not have been
done in England and it is just this adverse gov
ernmental inference which makes the labor
problem in other European countries some
thing much different than in England.
GERMAN PRESSURE ON SWITZERLAND.
1t being considered in Berlin that the re-
Gently appointed Swiss public prosecutor was
not sufficiently energetic in hurrying the social
istio refugees out of the republic an indirect
pressure has been brought to bear upon Swift
zerland by means Of a more rigid, one might
say inhuman, enforcement Of the German GUS
toms regulations on the Swiss frontier. Swiss
manufacturers and traders have been subjected,
in this way, to much annoyance and loss. A
hint was given at the outset that these annoy
ances could be promptly stopped by the Swiss
themselves, If they would attend to their duties
with respect to the German socialists residing
among them, and in some quarters 1t is asserted
that the orders of expulsion issued by the gen.
eral authorities yesterday was the direct result
OF this pressure.
Whether or not this be true 1t Is certain that
this display Of pettishness on the part of Ger
many will not tend to improve the already
strained relations between the two countries.
