FOR A NINE HOUR DAY.
LOCAL WORKINGMEN La
BORING FOR 1T.
A Call for a wOrkingrien's Meet.
Ing for Tomorrow Nixht-The
question to be Discussed
Master work man Gaze Ap.
prehenSis no Trouble.

The nine hour day movement has
struck Ashcville and a call has been issued
to working men to meet tomorrow
night in the hall over Brown & Gudgcrs
store to discuss the question. A week
ago last night joint meeting of the
Carpenters Union and the Knights of
Labor was held to talk over the subject.
1t was then decided to hold meeting at
which every working man in the city
should be invited to attend and express
his views.
Farther than this petitions are being
circulated among the business men of the
town and they do not lack for signcrs.
The meeting tomorrow night will be
open and it will then be decided just what
action will he taken on the matter.
John L. Gaze, the mastcrworkman of
the Knights of Labor, and who slargcly
instrumental in beginning the local agi-
tation of the question, was seen this
morning. He was of the opinion that
there would be no strike among the
laboring men, but that everything would
be settled satisfactorily to both sides.
"a number of the contractors have cx-
pressed themselves as willing to acccdc
to the nine hour day." he said. There
are very few who object, and | do not
doubt but what they will finally agree,
and that there will be no trouble. The
movement is meeting with success in
other cities and do not see why il
should not in Ashcvillc."

lT is far from a pleasant thought for
those who are booked for Europe that
there is no way OF preventing disasters
on the ocean. Capt. Watkins of the
City of Paris himself hath said II, and he
adds consolingly. "All we can do is to
build strong ships, man them with COM
pctent men, keep ever ON the alert for
danger and trust the rest to Cod"
There is n great deal OF truth in that
saying, "You will die when your time

WY 1T LOOKS BETTER.


Every bit Of authentic information
which reaches here goes to show that the
activity recently displayed by the citizens
of Cheyenne and Wyoming is responsible
for the present improved outlook for ad-
mission. A special telegram from Wash
ington to the Denver Times clearly iudi-
Gates this in the following words: The
indications are that the efforts of the
friends of the measure to have taken up
the bills providing for the admission of
Wyoming and Idaho will bear early fruit.
There was a good deal of foundation
for the report that some Of the Eastern
Republican senators had grown lukewarm
on the subject aud were trying to use tb,
matter as a whip to bring the Western
men into line on the silver question, but
1t is believed that they have now beer
made to see their mistake.
Senator Platt, chairman of the terri.

istence of this sentiment, insists that both
OF the admission bills will be taken up i'm
mediately after the silver bill shall have
been disposed of, and that no~twithstand-

TIE Bill.

The Washington correspondent Of the
OnahS Bee has been investigating the
statehood possibilities and presents his
paper with a very encouraging report.
Summing up the situation he says:
There is a good deal Of anxiety felt in
Wyoming and Idaho as to the condition
Of the bills admitting those two territories
to statehood, and inquiries are coming
here constantly as to the prospects of
their passage. Tbs bills have passed the
house Of representatives and have been
reported fAvorably from the committee on
territories in the senate. asked Sena-
tor Plat, the chairman of this commit
tee, today when be intended to call them
up and whether he thought there was a
prospect Of their early passage. I propose
to get these bills up at the frst possible
moment replied Senator Plat, and |
am going to try to have this silver debate
shut of so that we can get at some other
legislation. The senate is wasting
its time listening to speeches that
are not intended TO convince anybody and
that nobody wants to heNr. and | think it
is about time to quit aud take in some
thing else, but there is no danger OF the
bills failing. because We on this side OF
the senate are determined that they shall
pass before senate adiourns."
