A bridge building fever has apparently
struck New York, the latest structure Of
this kind proposed being bridge between
New York and Jersey City. The plan
which is most seriously considered was sub
mitted by J. w. Ballet and it provides for
four spans, one of 100 feet, one of 1850
and two Of 800 feet each. Some idea Of the
great length of the proposed structure can
be obtained from the fact that the Brooklyn
bridge has but one span of 1895 feet The
new bridge is to be 120 feet wide and it will
contain eight tracks. The estimated cost is
SO, 900, 900, but if more is required IL will
undoubtedly be forthcoming owing to the
enormous business done by the Brooklyn

What He Knows About the Habits o.
Various Bird Families.
Queel Did you hear me scolding just
now? We blue-jays scold great deal,
you know, anyway, for somehow there
Is always enough to scold about If one
only gets into the habit of it. But the
thing that | have been scolding abou;
now Is something new. The Buddhists,
1 have just heard, have been telling
something about us blue-jays-some-
thing that is not true. should like to
know how long such a story has been
going around. A great many years, l
dare say. Men do not know very much
about us birds. The Buddhists say this:
"There are four kinds Of beings who
fear when there is no danger" and
among the four they mention 1.-The bird
kirala, or blue-jay, that matches its
eggs with its feet upwards, that, If the
sky should fall, 1t may be ready to sup
port it,
Now, did you ever hear of such non
sense as that about a bird? Do you
suppose that I am SO silly as to hatch
my eggs with my feet upward? l am
not bit more afraid that the sky will
fall than you are, and should like to
tell those ridiculous Buddhists that they
had better find some blue-jays and OBJ
serve their habits before telling any
more such stories. Do you wonder that

However, l have company in my
affliction, for the Buddhists go on to
say that another of the "beings who
fear when there Is no danger" is the
bird "kos hhiniya, the curlew, that
treads with all gentleness lest it should
shake the earth"
Now am not very well acquainted

CANADA'S BACkDOWN,
Montreal Grain shippers Claim it - a
Breach of Faith,

Montreal Grain shippers Claim It - a
Breach of Faith,
MONTREAL, Aug. 9.-The Montreal
grain shippers are greatly excited over
the news from Ottawa that the Canadian
Government, in order to avoid retaliation
by President Harrison, has decided to
abolish the rebate of 10 cents per ton on
all grain shipped by the st. Lawrence
canals to Montreal. They claim that such
an action is a breach of faith on the part
of the Government, as the orders in coun-
Gil, passed in the spring. granted a rebate
for the whole season, and all contracts
were made on this basis. The reimposi-
ton of the tariff would therefore mean a
serious loss.
The general feeling is that the Cana
dian government has not only made a
complete backdown, but has taken the
worst possible method of doing so. The
government could have taken a much
more satisfactory course by either per-
hitting the transhipping of cargoes at
Ogdensburg, or freeing the Welland
canal, which would have been the most
satisfactory course. The governments
entire policy towards the United States is
strongly condemned. Mr.. Stewart, the
manager of the Kingston and Montreal
Forwarding Company, who has been very
prominent in the fight against discrimi-
nation via Ogdensburg, said:
by its decision the Government has
virtually confessed that it's course in dis
eliminating against Ogdensburg was ut
terly indefensible. Our contention has
been fully justified by the decision to dc
away with discrimination. At the same
time we confess that our victory is Il dis
| astrous one for ourselves as well as for
| the whole trade, owing to the way the
Government has surrendered. 1t has
| chosen the worst possible course for all
| the interests at stake. 1t should have
| freed the canals from end to end. Had il
not, in the interests a Id at the dictation

view to influencing political contests dis
eliminated against Ogdensburg SO shame

Manufacturers to Meet Amalgamated
Mem End of the Duquesns Strike.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 9.-When the confer
ence commi ttee of iron manufacturers
and the Amalgamated Association meet
to-day it is probable that the latter will
have considerable power to settle the pres
emit wage dispute. 1t is learned that the
| workers representatives will have the
privilege of accepting a 10 per cent. re-
duction on the finishers' scale, but on pud
ding they are to consider no proposition
for q reduction.
| The finishers include the rollers, heat
ers and the roughers and catchers, who
are among the best paid in the Amalga
mated Association. Notwithstanding the
fact that the workers committee will
have power to accept reduction it is an
ttcipated that they will make stiff
dght.
The officials OF the Carnegie Company
are well pleased at the peaceful settle

turned to work.

P1TTsBURG, Aug. 9.-The Duquesne

p oliceman at the Duquesne works, and

witness, and testified that he had seen
the crowd about the gate and heard them
threaten the men who tried to enter the
mill. Many of the men had clubs.
A number of other witnesses were ex-

Ursie, Essler, Bukie, Bennett, Kennedy,

"We have officers of long experience at

these men, who will be produced in

would have been more informations be-
fore this, but for the fact that many
strikers engaged in the riot have run

is being gathered, and when they return
