Secretary of the Interior and the Post
master General. The awkward and clumsy
nature of this arrangement was made man
ifest by the lapse of many weeks that went
by before the change of plan was finally
approved. When the official signatures
were at last given, new drawings had TO be
prepared and specifications made be-
fore the work could be begun, on the last
of January last.
The Iron Work.
Meanwhile. Pearce undertook additional
work ir the iron structure for the base
ment and first story. The contract for this
job was awarded to him on the 10th of
August. 1893, and was to run for three
months. and was thirty-eight days behind
time. that the masonry work was that
much delayed.
Pearce did not try the iron work any
further than the first story. the contract
for the next four floors being let on the
9Th of June to the Brown, Ketcham iron
works of Indianapolis. This ran for three
months, but on the date of it's expiration,
September 6. there hal not been pound of
iron delivered on the ground. and this work
are under penalty of $50 for each day of
delay. The payments for the work are
made in installments of equal size, as the
work is completed, with a deduction of 10
per cent; This is for the purpose Of max
ing good any loss to the government by
n-cOmpletiOn or bad work, and the penal
ties are being deducted out Of this amount.
In all probability this contract will not be
completed by before the 9th of March,
six months behind time. but all of this
time may not be subject to the penalty. as
some of the delay may be caused by the
fact that the masonry work is in progress.
There are probably two more contracts to
be awarded. one for the roofs and the other
for the interior finish of the building.
There may be some minor jobs about the
structure after these larger ones have been

In cost, although they may delay the final
completion TO some extent.
1t will thus be seen that so far but two
of the six contracts have been completed
on time. The building has been under con-
struction for two years. seven months and
a half. 1t IS no extravagant estimate that
in this period any private commercial con-
cern would have not only projected. but
completed and occupied such a building as
the local post office, with a good margin to

CONFIDENT CHINESE.
Diplomats Doubt the Rumorcd Demo-
sftion of Their Emueror

Ohicials of the Chinese legation were very
incredulous today of the reports from
Shanghai that the Chinese emperor was
about TO be deposed. and his place occupied
by son of Prince kurg. If any such coup
detat Is contemplated no intimation of IL
has come here. On the contrary, all official
communications show that the Viceroy
Ii Hung Chang is still conducting affairs.
althorgh it is not doubted that his efforts
in the present emergency are interfered
with by his opponents 1t is pointed ont
that Prince kung has been in retirement
SO long, and his son is so little known in
ponuo al affairs, that there is no reasonable
basis for crediting such an internal reyolu-
uon as the overthrow of the emperor
Sure of Ultimate Victory.
The official draft Of the new treaty be-
tween China and the United States. as re-
Gently signed in China, is now on its way
to the legation here. 1t is expected that
the Presidents procla amation, making the
treaty effective in this country will be the
next step taken.
The Chinese authorities here express Sc
rene confidence In ultimate Chinese triumph
IN the present war, believing the vast in
ternal resources Of the country, which are
still dormant, will i'm time be aroused and
VIII crush all opposition.
Volunteers for China Refused.
The Chinese minister here has received a
number of offers from various parts of the
United States to enlist in the army. navy
and surgical corps of the Chinese service.
The minister has received no instructions
from his government as to enlisting for
eigners, so that he has written to all appli-
cants, saying that their services are not
needed.

with the officers of his battery some men,
bers of the Ohio commission and about
twenty members of the Pennsylvania COM
mission. Three members of the Gettys-
burg commission were also in attendance
looking over the field.
Valuable Historical Points.
The state commissions have been en-
gagged in locating the positions of the va
rious regiments of their respective states,
and with such a numerous representation
of both sides they were able to establish
a great many points of historical interest
heretofore in doubt. The members of the
national commission report that the work
of marking and improving the battlefield is
progressing with the greatest vigor and the
road, making has been nearly finished. under
the direction of General Stewart, the resi-
dent commissioner. The formal dedicatio
of the park is expected to take place next
September. The executive committee of
the @. \. X. and those persons connected
with the park project are already in cor
respondence with view to fixing dates so
that the encaInpment at Louisville and the
dedication at Chattanooga shall follow each
other I'm such order that veterans interested
may attend both. All of the informa zion
received here to the effect that the Chicka-
Grams of both armies engaged at Chicka-
mauga are arranging to be largely repre-
sented at the dedication.
Monuments Ready for Erection.
The New York delegation. with an en-
gineer. have been busily engaged in locating
the positions of New York troops dt Look
out Mountain, Missionary Ridge. Wacha-
hatchie and Ringgold, and as they have a
large appropriation to draw upon Trey
expect to make New York's monument the
most imposing ever erected on battle
field in this country. The fifty-siX Ohio
monuments are nearly all in place and the
remainder will be completed this month.
The sites for the fifty-one Ohio granite
works were located last week. The Penn
sylvania delegation are also progressing
rapidly in locating positions. Minnesota has
been well cared for, and from The photo
graphs brought back by the commission

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS.
Will Knife Hill and Try to Elect the
Rest of the Ticket.

Information received here from several
sources exceptionally good is to the effect
that the Fairchilds-Grace-C Cleveland anti
Hill democrats will not put an Independent
ticket In the field in New York, having
come to the conclusion that they can bet
ter serve their purpose of injuring Hill by
another method. Their plan. as laid out, is
to do their utmost for the election of Lock-
wood and Gaynor and to knife Hill. They
hope in this way to secure MIR. Hills de-
feat without the absolute loss of the state,
and to make 1t appear that he is the weak
man on the ticket. The information as to
this comes from Washington and New
York sources

ANOTHER RESIGNATION.

Removed.

The official decapitating AK fell again
today, and Mr.. S. w. Nelson, assistant
permit clerk, is minus an office. For some
time there have been rCmors that a change

definite could be learned until today, when
the Engineer Commissioner called for the
resignation. No reasons are given by the
Commissioners for their action, beyond
saying the change was necessary for the

was agreed upon, but the appointment will
