GOULD'S OK is GORED.
Ideas of His Fathers Son Upon
the 1roublous Times.
1t Is Fact That the Great TranspOr-

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, Aug 5.-George Gould was
York. which arrived to-iay. When asked
regarding the financial situation he said
"The situation, OF course, is very much
demora lzed. The main cause Is the un-
settlement Of conditions due to the silver
question. There is another cause, how
ever, that the public is not so we'll aware
of, and that Is the hostile attitude assumed
blythe legislators of the country toward
great corporations. Instead of trying to
build them up the policy Of the State and
general governments is to pull them down
and make them worthless. The people
forget that the country cann OF be prosper
Gus unless the great transportation cor
porations also prosper. Business has never
been more stagnant in the Southwest than
at the present time, and 1 look for no
change unless there is something done at
Washington. The repeal of the Sherman
law will bring US all back to prosperous
times, but we may hope for nothing until
Congress acts, and in just that way"
Through travel on the railroads is lighter

auently carrying less than fifty passengers.
One train on one Of the greatest trunk
lines started to-day for Chicago with less
than thirty. The number of trainhands. por-
ters. sleeping and dining car conductors,
walters and cooks actually exceeded the
number of tourists.
The fact that almost every business
man is bearing strain and anxiety which
makes vacation. absence from office or
travel for pleasure impossible is the OK
planation which railroad managers make
of the unparalleled falling off in general
travel. The railroads are feeling the strain
of decreasing receirts from this source. as
well as increasing difficulty in managing
their petty floating debts.
A director in the Palace Car COMPANY
said to-day the Pullman Company spent
$1,000. 900 In preparing for a rush to the
Worlds Fair this year. and yet travel was
lighter last week than in any correspond
ing week for ten years. Unless there is
earlv relief, not only will the number of
employes be greatly reduced. but the num-
ber of trains In motion will decrease.
DENVER. Aug. 5.-1n accordance with
instructions from Omaha, the Union Pacific
has made great reduction in the operating
department. The order discontinues eight
daily and biweekly trains. all in this State.
1t is anticipated every railroad running
into the city will soon cut the runping
force in two.
Every mountain line has reduced its
force as low as possible on branch lines,
and the trainmen are compelled to do their
own switching. The discharged men are
complaining of the hardship. and local
unions will meet tomorrow. There is no
chance of a strike being\ successful, as
there are twenty men for every vacant
place.

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-Though the Russo
German tariff war has only been in active
operation five days. there are already signs
OF an abatement in the spirit of hostility
on both sides. Several St. Petersburg

MISTAKE OF A CLERK.
How the Supervising Architect
Was Led Into Error.
Did Not Know That the Cost of San
FrancisCo's Building Had
Been Fixed.
Special 70 THE MoRNINe CALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit is surpris-
ing fact. but is nevertheless fact. that
the supervising architect of the treasury
did not know until within very few days
that the limit of cost of the San Francisco
public building had been fxed at 50. 500. 600.
This ignorance is to be attributed TO an
error of the clerk who made the entries OF
the appropriations. The California Rep
resentatives have all along been OF the
opinion that on the nights of March and
). when there was a big rush during the
last days of the Fifty-second Congress,
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
passed and in it was an item fixing the
limit OF cost at So. SEQ. 600.
When, some time ago. the supervising
architect Of the treasury. who, above all
others. should have accurate knowledge
about these things, said that no limit had
been fixed, 1t was believed that somehow
or other the item lad been left out Of the
sundry civil bill. Mr.. O'Rourke has now
had his attention called to the clause as in
corporated in the Revised Statutes, and to-
day he wrote letter in which he acknowl-
edged his mistake.
Mr.. Loud some time ago said he would
try in the early part of this Congress to
secure an extension Of the limit of cost to
at least So. SOC, 600. because the building for
. million-dollar lot ought to be very
handsome edifice. The supervising archi-
tect may have decided to await the result
of Mr. Loud's efforts, and at any rate
misapprehension was created among some
of the clerks of the Office and an entry was
made in the books. mo limit of cost fixed
fer the San Francisco building"
The supervising architect is very effi-
cient aud conscientious Government Off
cial, however, andishould not be held re-
spor sible for the mistake of a careless
subordinate. Mr.. O'Routke will direct
his attention to the San Francisco building
Just as soon as he is relieved of the bur-
dens he assumed when he took charge Of
bis Office. There are many other buildings
which must be looked after, but he prom
ises to get around to the San Francisco
matter in very short time.
Representative Loud said to-day that
while he believed the appropriation was
not enough, he would not make any effort
to secure an extension of the limit If such
action would interfere with the speedy
commencement Of the work of construc-
tien because he believed San Francisco
people we're getting tired of waiting and
the building should bo commenced imme-
diately.

people this afternoon at the annual har-

His speech dealt largely with the present

pointed out that the business of the coun-
