THE CHANNEL AT WHEELING.
No satisfaction Given the RIvermen by the
President of the Road,

No Satisfaction Given the Rivermen by the
President of the Road.
A dispatch from Wheeling received last
night says:
Messrs. John A. Wood NJ. B. Rodgers. James
Wood, D. B. Blackburn, S. D. Sweeny, Charles
lutte, John O'Neil and w. /. Wood, represent
ing the Pittsburg coal and river interest. came
down 10 Wheeling this morning in reference to
the contemplated blockading of the channel of
the river at the north end of Wheeling island
by the false work necessary in the erec-
tion OF the channel span Of the Union rail-
road bridge. About 2 o'clock in the
afternoon members of the committee called
upon President Cochran, Of the Railroad Com
pany, and made kncwn their wishes. the views
Of the river men being set forth at length in
written address. They stated that to close the
channel span would be to practically suspend
navigation, for the bar at the head of
the Western branch of the river pre-
cluded the idea of passing the bridge
TO the west of the channel while the
space between the east channel pier and niaT
No. ] was too narrow TO permit the passage of
coal tows. To the request that the false work
for the channel span be delayed until sprinr
President Cochran returned a refusal saving
there were too many interests involved Baird
O. Bros, the contractors were bound to con-
and to delay would be to occasion
great loss. The river men then ATTEMPTED to
have compromise agreed upon, but in this
likewise they were unsuccessful, and they with
drew, leaving the situation unchanged. They
forwarded protest TO the Secretary of War
however, and Engineer Merrill has begun an
investigation. The railroad company assured
the river men the utmost dispatch would be
used to enable the work to be completed il pos
ElDle before a coalbOat raise.

Buffalo, N. Y, Treasurer; Philip Rohan, OF
st. Louis, Mo-, George Marshall. Dayton,

noting the greatest intelligence in the man.

The first thing in order to-day will be the
reports of committees. These will bring
out some scientific matters for debate. 1t is
expected that much of value to the trade
will then be ELECTED. Some of the able,t
men in the country will make these reports.

THEY WILL NOT HARMONIZE.
One or Other of the Musical Unions VII
Have the Upper Hand-President Rube
Played Mt the Grand,

One or Other of the Musical Unions VIII
Have the Upper Hand-President Ruhe
Played nr the Grand.
The hand of fellowship has been held out
| by the K. of L. musicians to the M. M. P.
| q. people, but it has been rejected. Last
night at the Opera House union men and
K. of L. men played side by side. Man.
ager Wilt summed up the situation when
he said yesterday that the difference be-
tween the rival organizations was that,
while the NJ. M. P. q. musicians would
not play alongside of K. of L. men, the
latter had not the least objection, for the
present, be it observed, to make music with
their rivals. "You will hear music toward
the end of the week." said the Manager.
He did not say whether any discords would
be rung in, but he inferred that it would be
loud enough.
''There are only between 125 and 140 mu-
sicians in the city," said Master Workman
j. II. Rottkay, of L. A. 1888, yesterday,
''and of this number 81 belong to the the
atrical orchestras. Now the M. M. P. q.
claims membership of $50, and taking the
orchestras from this number would leave
317 musicians from whom to select the half
dozen or ten required as emergencies in the
Grand Opera House. And vet, as the result
shows, mot six men were available when re-
quired. When 1 speak of musicians mean
by the term men who can play at sight, and
who are of sufficient ability to take their
place at a call in an ordinary band or Or
chestra. A few days will very likely
produce change in the musical world here.
We have our charter, properly Endorsed and
reindorsed, and before two weeks have
passed we will have our organization in
working order. At present we number 80
men on our rolls and do not be surprised if
within the time mentioned we have drawn
in few more. We propose to increase the
Great Western Band by the addition of 10
men, thus bringing up the Instrumentation
on line with Gilmore, and we are about to
organize series of thorough rehearsals and
produce not alone first-rate band, but also
establish an orchestra which will be credit
to the city. In less than six weeks from
nowa radical change will have been effected
in the musical organizations and a COM
bined military band and orchestra estab-
lished under the auspices of our L. A. 1888.
We made proposals to the NJ. M. P. U to
recognize our organization and work am
icably with us, but they took no notice of
our desire for harmony, and now If they de-
sire peace they must come to u.s."
1t was reported last night that several
m usicians had LETT the Grand Opera House
Orchestra. When Manager Wilt was seen
he said:
Everything is now quiet, and Mr.. Ruhe,
who was supposed to be the stormy petrol of
the teacup hurricane, is now calmly playing
his cello in my orchestra. 1 have left the
musicians to arrange their troubles in their
own way; and understand that they have
done so."

As already stated in The DISPATCH,
Secretary Douthett has received letter
from Secretary Window, of the Treasury
Department, which will be read at the
meeting. Secretary Window, by virtue of
his position, has charge of all tariff matters
relating to boiler materials. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has also forwarded
to Mr.. Douthett statement of the official
tests made by their celebrated engineers at
Altoona, which will form an important sub
ject for discussion at the convention. Other
topics pertaining to the safety Of steam
boilers and various industrial questions
will be discussed. There is long list Of
committees on such subjects as Materials
and Tests" "Riveting and Csulking,"
"Manheads and Manholes, Safety Valves
and Horse Power" These will give an
idea of the character of the debates which
will take place. 1t is expected to be the
greatest gathering of iron manufacturers
that has ever been held in this city.

NEGOTIATING TO SETTLE.


work WIN Soon Commence In the La Sale
and Spring Valley Dissricts-sIishr DIFF
ferences Exist.
Coal mining operations in the Spring
Valley and La Sale districts may be recon-
menced almost Immediately. Negotiations
for settlement of the differences between
the operators and miners are nearing close,
and at the La Sale mines there is q very
slight margin of difference between those
concerned. Mr.. Arthur Zemm, ex-Presi-
dent of Local 81, N. P. u, who has been
visiting the coke regions in aid of the Illi-
nois mines. made statement yesterday Of
the present position of affairs.
Previous to the closing of the mines in
May the prices paid were 75 cents for coal
digging and 15 cents for brushing. The
and have succeeded so far in getting the
miners to listen to a reduction OF ~ cents.
The La Sale operators have come within
four inches of the concession of the whole
northern district, which, according to Sec
retary Scaife, will make a difference of one
inch in brushing in last years prices, pro-
vided the miners accept the concession,
which, in the opinion of Messrs. Scaife and
Zemm, they will.
It is only short time since that w. L.
Scott would meet any organization at all in
matter. and his latest offer to the miners
stands at 821< cents. He has arrived
within ten inches in the dead work OF the
whole district, and there is a strong proba-
bility that in the event of the La Sale
mines opening up, which, it is claimed, is
imminent, that Scott will concende similar
terms to bis men. 1t is costing considers
bly, to keep the Spring Valley mines open,
as on the system on which they are worked
a force of men has to be continually en-
ployed in keeping them open. This matter
of expenditure will no doubt influence the
operators to close with their men. Mr..
Zemm expressed confident opinion, based
on his correspondence with Secretary Scaife,
that the troubles between the operators and
men would be settled at q very early date.
Yesterday he was expecting q dispatch
bearing out this view, and remained over
until to-day for instructions before travelling

ADAMS EXPRESS BUILDING.
RumOrs and Not the House Are Said to be
Without Foundation.

The alleged unsafe Adams Express build
ing was visited last evening. 1t was found
that the rear wall, over which such pother
had been made, was the division wall, upon
which the feline tribe of the neighborhood
is accustomed nocturnally to assemble The
extent of damage which this wall could do,
even ii it did fall, would be the breaking OF
few f1ower-pots. The officials OF the COM
pany said yesterday that they invited an
immediate inspection of their building, as
the rumors which had been set afoat were
altogether groundless.
