ASPHALT PAVEMENT.
Oas who Knows Take Upon That Sub.

teet and Bricks.
From the Detrop Free Press
W. c. Murd0ck, of the Trinidad As.
phalt Paving Company, New York, 10
at the Russell House. Mr.. Murdoch 10
q man connected with large affairs. He
organized the Washington Brick Ma
chine Company years ago and manu-
featured millions upon millions of
bricks before abandoning that line Of
industry. Speaking Of his present
western trip, Mr.. Murdoch said: 81

look after and whenever they permit
l always want to be in = place
where asphalt pavements are
being laid. We were very
sorry because of the outcome Of
Col. Robinson's paving venture on JEFF
ferson-ave. Like u good many others.
he failed. simply because of undertak-
ing something which ne did not under
stand. Beyond that he is entirely hlame-
less. He was misled as to material
used; it was improperly prepared; his
employees were not well up in the bust
ness, AID the result was a bad pave
ment, which must have lead q good
many to believe that asphalt is not
good material for paving purposes.
We have lent hand in securing better
men, Col. Robinson knows good deal
more about the business than he did.
He will make JeffersOn-ave. right, at
whatever expense, and on Lafayette 10
laying as good pavement as any city
could desire.
Zone thing that surprises me is that
Detroit il having just such q craze foI
brick paving as it formerly had for
cedar blocks. While thousands OF cities
have or are discarding bricks for side
walk purposes, simply because they do
not meet reasonable requirements, De-
troit Is after them for street paving
where the wear and tear is many times
greater. i notice that the bricks to be
laid ON Jefferson-ave. are dark, hard
and evenly burned. presume this Is
the case because test pavement IL to
be laid and also because it is right on
the same street with asphalt. Any one
krows who knows anything about
burning brick, that no brick man can
contract solely for such brick as are
furnished for that job. In every kiln
YOU have the pillar brick, the arch
brick and then follow the cherry
red. the red, the light red and
then the salmon coIored, the
hardness of the brick decreas-
ing in the order named. Those burned
in the arch and pillar. known as the
core brick, are the hardest and the
others grow softer as mentioned. With
five grades of hardness what can you
expect. Some OF the bricks will absorb
moisture and others will not. Some
will wear more rapidly than Others and
some will crumble. The Inevitable re-
suit is an uneven rough and short lived
pavement. They make q so-called test
by rafting these brick around In .
tumbler but bricks meet with no such
usage when used in a pavement. Let
the test be made by striking the bricks
with a hammer just as a horses shoe
strikes them on the street. Get that
same percussion and see the results OF
course I'm an asphalt man, but Itub-
init the force of what have said. Be
sides that can furnish bricks and fur
nish good ones, but they are not the
best material for paving.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Rumor That John f. Swift May be
Called to the Cabinet.


Called to the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE news that
Harrison has decided upon California
man for Secretary of the Treasury would,
no doubt, be very happy surprise to
the Pacific Coast, and would, perhaps, be
received with some doubt. Neverthe-
less, the California Associated Press has
reasons for believing that the President
is seriously considering Pacific Coast
man for the place. The information
comes from Senator Stanford, who says
he believes that President Harrison will
appoint John +. Swift of San Francisco.
who is our present Minister to Japan.
The President, in his recent message to
Congress asking an extension of the time
in which he could name Secretary Win
dom's successor, gave as one reason for
his request that If it was deemed adyisa-
BILE to appoint some one residing at con-
siderable distance from Washington
there should be time allowed for him to
reach Washington in order to qualify,
etc.
1t is well known that Harrison and
Swift are warm personal friends, and
that when the Harrison Administration
was organized the President seriously
considered the name of John +. Swift
for a Cabinet position, and the latter
might have been appointed, but for the
fact that California had another candi-
date for Cabinet position in the person
of M. NJ. Estee.
Morrow was asked tonight if he had
heard any intimation that the President
was considering Swift's name. He said
no, and seemed good deal surprised,
although he admitted that it was by no
means improbable.
Swift and the President are very
warm personal friends,'' said Morrow.
swift is a very clever man, and would
make an able Secretary of the Treasury

CALIFORNIA INTERESTS,

Keeping Close Watch on Them.
WASHINGTON, Feb. NO change has
yet been made in the sundry civil bill
affecting Pacific coast interests. The re-
port OF the committee concerning Califor-
mia appropriations has not been changed.
This matter is being watched very closely
by Vandever, McKenna and Morrow,
who sit together in the House, and have
an agreement among them that while bills
in which California has direct interest
are being considered one of the trio shall
always be present, and all three at their
desks as much of the time as possible.
They keep out of other fights as much as
possible in order not to cause any one to

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Stan says:
1t is threatened by the Republicans OF the
House that if the Senate attach free
coinage amendment to any appropriation
bill they will amend it by putting on the
force bill as rider. Ii this is done and
the bill sent to the President, it is said he
would probably sign the conglomerate
bill, taking free coinage rather than veto
the appropriation bill and force bill.
This may deter the Democrats from en-
tering upon the plan of putting free coin
age on the appropriation bill.
Since the defeat of the attempt to have
the free coinage amendment attached as
rider to the sundry civil appropriation
bill, the silver men have been busy de-
vising other schemes by means of which
to compel vote by the House on the
question of free coinage. The vote yes
terday is not regarded by them as a fair
test OF their strength, for the reason that
it was complicated with a question Of
parliamentary practice, on which they
did not regard their position as strongly
fortified, and they were, therefore, anX-
ious to bring the matter up in some new
form.

campaign. The opponents of the free
coinage biil will resort to every available
means to secure the attendance of alb
sentees known to be opposed to free silver
coinage.
NEW AMENDMENT TO THE HOUSE RULES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the House
to-day Townsend of Colorado offered for
reference resolution amending the rules
of the House so as to provide that when
four members of any committee shall
make statement in writing that after
five hearings on any bill (other than the
revenue or appropriation bills) the COM
mittee refuses to make any report favora-
BILE or unfavorable, it be in order to dis
charge the committee from further COLI
sideration of the matter.
This amendment OF the rules is directed
especially toward the Committee on Coin
age, Weights and Measures, having charge
OF the free coinage bill.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS RESOLUTION.
Democratic members of the House,
called together at the suggestion OF
Bland, was shmly attended-only sixty
one members being present. The silver
bill was the sole topic of consideration,
and after several resolutions were offered
and withdrawn, the following resolution,
offered by Richardson, of Tennessee,
was unanimously adopted:
1T is the sense of the caucus that the
Senate silver bill is, in our opinion, an
important public measure, deserving due
consideration by the House, and we
earnestly request the committee to which
the same was referred nearly a month
ago, to report it to the House without
delay''
