respectively of the Leland house and Hotel
Richelieu, declared in an interview tonight
that they would fight tooth and nail against

be made, would be numbered permanently
with whatever fair buildings were CON
structed, shutting out fresh air and the view
of the lake. M. Bemis asserts that rail-
roads are using the project to cover the rob
bing big piece of land for a depot, and
that clique of boodlers are trying to steal
In with huge system of docks. He threat
ems to carry the matter to the supreme

The Gest Bill Favorabl Y Reported to
the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. z.-Representative
Wade from the committee on labor, to-day
reported to the House favorably the Gest
bill requiring United States laborers. work
men and mechanics employed since June 25,
1868, to be paid on the basis of eight hours
for each days work. The bill directs the
court of claims to adjust all claims of this
kind, and provides that no statute of limta-
tions, or payment made, or contract or re-
ceipt given for less sum per day than the
full price of days work shall affect the
right Of recovery.
EVAsIONS OF THE LAW.
In the accompanying report che commit
tee describes at some length "some of the
ways and means resorted to by officers of
the law to avoid the plain import of the
eight-hour law, aud extort from employees
of the government the same number of
hours work per day as they performed be-
fore the passage of the eight hour law, thus
setting at naught the solemn enactment of
congress, which has remained unrepealed ,
and without an effort to repeal it for
more than twenty-one years." AS to the
amount it will take to pay the claims, the
committee finds that it will require for the
navy department S3,00O,00O. in the war
department $500, 600, and in the postotiice de-
partment $175,000, an aggregate of about
$4,000 000
