He was forgotten, and when the balloon
was sufficiently inflated it was cut loose
and shot up into the air. French was not
prepared for ascension md hs began to
scramble out. One Of his feet caught in
the ropes, and he hung head downward.
After O vigorous struggle he succeeded in ex.

turning two sommersaults In the air, he
aliehted on the ground on his face and was
severely injured. Tho struggle Of Freuch

The federation of labor unions and the
Knights of Labor have forwarded to the
house committee on labor the resolutions
recently adopted In Washington regarding
the proposed labor legislation in congress
aud strongly favorlng the bill introduced
~ Congressman Cornell over all eight
hour bills. The following is the reso-
luton: Whereas, house bill No. $3.50,
to enforce the eight-hour law now
upon thu house calendar would
wholly fail to carry out the eight-hour
Iri .ciplc, as understood and endorsed by
the organized workingmen of the country
for more than twenty years and would le.
galizs the fragrant violations of tho pres
eat law against which laboring men nave
repeatedly aud earnestly protested;
and. whereas, house bill No. 9.79l,
intr .duced by Representative Council
Of Nebraska and referred to the commit
tee ON labor in April last, would iu the
Judgment Of this body compel the execu-
tive officers of the government to enforce
tn eight hour Law of juno 25, 1865, in
accordance with its letter and spirit aud
would be in accord with the sentiment Of
organized labor throughout the country"
The resolution following recommends
the passing Of the Cornell bill and that 1t
apply 10 the District of Columbia as we'll
us to all other government work, and that
not less than the current per diem wages
prevailing in tie locality in which such
work is performed be paid.

for damages from Photographers Rugs for

President Harrison has sent to congress-
q message transmitting a letter from Sec
rotary Blaine upon the reports adopted by
the Pan-American conference respecting
postal aud cable communication between

Francisco and Valparaiso and intermediate
points, each country to pay q share pro.
portionate to it's population, and between

re recommended that as soon as these lines
AN be established an auxiliary slower line
between the United states and Brazil, to

Senators Casey, Moody. Sanders ind
Allen, representing North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Washington, wiilpo
tefore the committee on appropriations
aud urge the Recommendation oil tho public
lands committee thut s5OV. 900 te added to
the sundry civil bills for surveying lands
10 ERE new states. It is believed that the
committee will accept the amendment.
In this connection Senator Paddock
has reported from the committee on public
lands . recommendation for an amendment
to the sundry civil bill, cutting down the
amount in the house bill for au irrigation
survey from $780, 900 to $22o,OOO, the
$5C0,0O0 saved here to be applied to the
land surveys Ut the new states.
The amendment also contains q pro.
vision that the act of 1883 seeregatiug arid
lands from settlement shall be construed
to mean only such lands as are needed for
reservoir sites AID canals. The construc.
tion placed upon the Law at present with
draws all lands west of the lOUth meridian
tn tho Cascade mountains, and all the
western people have objected to the cor.
struction OF tho law. IL is feared that Ed.
munds may make o point of order against
the proposed legislation, but in any event
there will be a lively fight in the senate
upon tho proposition.
Director Powell will not only make q
strong fight to retain control OF the lands,
but will fight harder forthe $500, 900 which
it is proposed to deprive him Of, but there
is Il growing conviction that the geological
survey has become q fungus on the gov
eminent, absorbing a very large amount Of
mo. ey with very little return.
The men who examined the artesian
system for irrigating the Dakotas will have
a hearing before the irrigation committee
at cncc Senator Casey says the pre-.
liminary reports, which have been shown
to the senators. have made a very favor.
able impression upon them, and the pros
pscts of getting $3.50, 900 for carrying on
tie work are very good.

Hand and Steam Printing Presses.

There is a prospect of a renewal of the
old war between the hand and the steam
presses at the bureau of engraving aud
printing. aud the labor element of the Dis
trict of Columbia is consequently III q state
Of excitement. Several years ago Mr..
Graves, the superintendent of the bureau
Of engraving and printing, put in some
steam presses, n of which did us much
work as o dozen men coulddo with the old
fashioned hand presses that have Teen in
vogue for o century, but the labor unions
did not rest until they had them thrown
out.
Now Senator Edmunds has reopenedt the
fight and has called upon the secretary Of
the treasury for q statement showing the
comparative usefulness and economy Of
hand and steam presses. Mr.. Window
will undoubtedly report facts that will be
to the advantage of the labor. sewing
machinery and Mr.. Edmunds will use il in
an endeavor to secure progress in the art Of
printing from engraved plates.
Blu the labor union is very strong here
and its power over congress is
Now that the presses have been displaced
it will be difficult to get them back into the
bureau again. because each one represents
q reduction in the patronage and the salary
list of the government, and that is not
what congressman are apt to encourage.
The Typographical union has opened q
war in another direction and has called
upon Mr.. Palmer, the pubic printer, to
discharge Eve pressmen in the government
printing Office because they have been
active in q recent movement to induce the
pressmen of that Office to retire from the
Typographical union and organize q Press
mans union. the president of tho Inter-
national typographical union has given
notice that unless these five pressmen are
discharged q strike Of pressmen and COM
posters will be ordered in the printing
office.
