The Whatcom Senator Voted fer the
Memorial fn Its Favor.
(. WEATcoM, Aug. A-fSpecial. The fact
that congress Is about TO appropriate
$4,000 TO commence work on the Lake
Washington canal has awakened re-
newed interest on this subiect here.
and calls TO mind the fact that State Sena-
tor Frank II. Richards, whe is now q can
didate for renomfnat in tti. district,
supported and voted for house mem
orial No. 8, which was passed
by the Legislature Of 1901, and
that Attorney Fairchad, Of this city,
who is one Of the senator's most ardent
supporters and chairman of the county
central committee. made one of the bright
est and most telling speeches ct the LAST
state convention. and IN fact the only
speech that was made on the
subject by any member of
the Whatcom county delegation in
favor Of the adoption of the Lake Wash
ington canal plank in the platform upon
which the campaign of 1902 was fought
and won. The house metnoriai referred

AS TO CAR-FENDERS.

II is to be assumed that the amendment in
the District appropriation bill comforting au-
thority upon the Commissioners TO compel
street railway companies to equip their cars
with tenders was inserted at the request Of
these officials. They appreciate ;he necessity
for such life and limb saving appliances and
will no doubt make good and full use of the
powers proposed to be conferred upon them.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that no factious
opposition will be made, either in the Senate
or in the House, to this amendment.
Whenever the question of car-fenders has
been mooted to the railroad companies they
have pleaded as an excuse for not providing
them that none exactly suiting their idea had
yet been invented. Only one company, we
believe, has expressed its willingness to equip
its cars with any fender the Commissioners
may designate. Ii matters not whether the
tenders at present available are the very best
that human ingenuity can devise. II they
answer the primary purpose of preventing
accidents that cost life or cripple limbs they
will fill the essential condition OF their appli-
cation.
Until plenary power is conferred upon the
Commissioners in this matter the cable and
electric cars will remain fenderless, for corpo-
rations DO not, as rule, take kindly TO sug-
gestions that involve large expenditures on
their part. So long as they are not subjected
to the authority of the law they are liable to
do only what their convenience and self
interest dictate

GEN. M'cAULEY's MEMORY.

His Friends Hold a Meeting and Pass
Suitable Resolutions.
The friends in this city Of the late Gen. Dan
iel McCauley, whose death in Nicaragua was
reported on Friday last, held a meeting and
adopted resolutions expressive of their pro-
found sorrow at his death and asserting their
high appreciation of his noble qualities as
man, his gallantry as a soldier. his honesty
and capability as a public official. and his
fidelity to the ties of friendship.
The sympathy OF those participating in the
meeting was ordered to be rendered to the be-
reayed family with copy OF the resolutions.

Michener. O'Beirne, and Others, and it was

dnte to give more formal expression to the
sorrow of those who mourn the loss of q valued
friend.

LABOR'S LEGAL HOLIDAY.

District Workiugmen to Celebrate Labor
Day on n Grand Scale.
The first observance of Labor day as ma
tional holiday by the District labor organiza-
tions promises to be a great success. To the
action taken by the conference held at Brick
layers Hall recently is probably due the
favorable action of Congress upon the prop
osition to add Labor day 10 the list of ma
tional holidays and the workingmen propose
to signalize their victory by monster parade
A second conference was held last night at
Bricklayers' Hall, at the corner OF Seventh
and o streets northwest which was attended
by delegates from % organizations, including
the Ladies Progressive Union No. 1891, and
there was unanimous agreement reached as
to the parade. which will be the largest dis
play ever made here by organized labor.
NJ. Canty. OF the Bricklayers' Union. pre-
sided, and X. C. Bollinger offieiated as seere-
tary. These gentlemen were serving in a
temporary capacity only. but by resolution
they were made permanent officers. and NJ
Spohn and o. l.. Montz were unanimously
elected treasurer and assistant secretary re-
spectively.
A resolution was adopted requesting work
ingmen generally to refrain from labor on the
holiday. and organizations not represented at
the conference and members of the organiza-
tions elsewhere who are employed in the city
or District were invited to participate in the
celebration.
1t is confidently predicted that about LOCO
laboring men will Join in the parade.

They Want a Hand in Molding the Tariff
Bill in Conference.
Senator Hale thinks it is about time the Re-
publican conferees were invited to the tariff
conference. and has introduced the following
resolution to secure their attendance, which
will come up for consideration in the Senate
to-day:
H. r. 1864. IAN act 10 reduce taxation, provide
revenue for the government and for other pur-
poses" passed the Senate with sundry amend
ments; and
Whereas the Senate thereupon asked for a
conference with the House of Representatives
upon said bill and amendments, and the follow
ing Senators were appointed as managers OF
such conference on the part of the Senate, 10
wit: Senators Voorhees,. Harris, Vest, Jones,
Sherman, Allison, and Aldrich: and
Whereas on the 9TH day Of July, 1894, the con-
ference so asked for by the Senate was agreed
to by the House of Representatives, and the fol-
lowing members OF the House of Representatives
were appointed as managers on the part of the
conference in that body, to wit: Representatives
Wilson. McMilln, Turner, Montgomery, Reed,
Burrows and Payne; and
Whereas the legitimate object of such action
on the part of the two Houses was an immediate
and full and free conference of all the managers

Resolved, That the chairman of the managers
OF said conference on the part of the Senate is
hereby directed TO inform the Senate whether a

PRESIDENT WARNER RESIGNS.
John 10y Edison Elected TO Succeed Him
as Head of the Washington Loan
and Trust Company.

The resignation OF President B. II. Warner
of the Washington Loan and Trust Company
was accepted yesterday by the board OF di-
rectors. President Warner retires from the
position for lack of time to devote to the
duties such attention as the Importance of the
institution and its interests demand. Mr..
Warner will continue with the company in
the capacity of director and as a member of
the executive committee. but feels that his
duty to himself and his various other pur-
suits require his REIMBURSEMENT OF the execu-
tive office.
After accepting Mr. Warmers resignation
the board elected John Joy Edison. the first
e-president. as his successor. Mr.. Edson's
close relations with numerous financial en-
terprises, in which he has had marked success,
renders his selection as president of the in
stitution over which he will now preside an
exceptionally happy one. He has been for
thirty years actively engaged in the various
financial circles of the city, and he is in ad-
dition a man of great public spirit. ever ready
TO lend his aid for the advancement of the in
terests of the community.
Before adjourning the board adopted reso-
lutions in which the members expressed their
high appreciation OF the great and varied
abilities, the courage and zeal Of the retiring
president, reciting that the company, of
which he was the founder, is monument to
his financial ability and industry and an
enduring witness OF the confidence rel esed
in him BY the community in which his busi-
ness life has been spent.

MIR. cLEvELANp's OPPORTUNITY.

Unusual though the request of Mr.. Comp
ers and his associates of the Federation OF
Labor may be that President Cleveland or
some personal representative of his come to
Chicago and unite with them in an effort to
bring the present crisis TO an end, it GER
tainly seems to be warranted by the condi-
tions of the case. 1t is not at all probable,
of course, that Mr.. Cleveland himself will
attend the conference. partly because his OFF,
clal duties at present will not permit of it,
and partly for other obvious reasons which it
is not necessary to enumerate. There is.
however, no reason why the President should
not send some one to whom he has delegated
the authority to represent his views, and
whose action should be understood to reflect
Mr. Cleveland's wishes.
There is, on the other hand every reason
why Mr.. Cleveland should 10 this extent com
ply with the request of the Federation
officials He must be presumed TO be anxious
for the restoration Of normal social and in
dustrial conditions There is no ground for
doubt that. with every other good citizen. he

Two More Appropriation Bills Passed Yes
terday and Another Considered.
The appropriation bills are fast being con-
sidered. and at the present rate Of progress it
is probable that next week will see them dis
posed Of Two more important bills were
passed Yesterday, the army and the fortifca-
tions bills while some progress was made on
the river and harbor bill. The only inter-
esting discussions of the day occurred during
the consideration of the army bill.
Several bills of minor importance were
passed and conferees were appointed on the
Military Academy and diplomatic and consu-
lar appropriation bills.
On the army bill there was considerable dis
cussion on the advisability of making ap-
pointments to the adjutant generals. inspec-
tor generals, and subsistence departments OF
the army from civil life other than the line Of
the army. Senator Mills finally offered an
amendment to that effect, which was ac-
cepted.
Senators Brice, Call and Teller were ap-
pointed conferees on the Military Academy
appropriation bill, and Senators Blackburn,
Brice and Hale conferees on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill.
The discussion on the Notifications and
rivor and harbor bills was uneventful. At
the close of the day Senator Daniel presented
the credentials Of Mr.. Thomas s. Martin, the

There is but one verdict, and that is that the
evil must be remedied. The present usurpa-
ton of public highways as practiced by tine

vention to improvements, and an eyesore to
the landscape.

As Mr.. Meads says in the interview, ''The
matter has been talked Of so much and has

been SO often brought tothe attention OF Con-
gress. that there is but little left to be said;"
but The TINES proposes to keep up the agi-
tation until something is done.
Some weeks ago members of Congress were
taken over the scene of the trouble in car
riages, and their comments ON the gravity OF
the situation were loud and long. But where
is the legislation that should have followed?
The management operating between here
and Baltimore is making money for the stock
holders right and left, and it is said that large
sums spent in preventing legislation would be
small in comparison to the cost of properly
elevating or lowering the tracks. Now it
should be the especial effort of the committee
in whose hands the matter rests to force
the matter to an issue before Congress ad-
journs.
The legislators who are soon to leave our
city could do nothing that would leave them
in more grateful memory with Washing
tonians than the successful completion of
this legislation.

FREE COAL AND IRON RUMOR
Story to That Effect Going the Rounds
After Conference Meeting.
IT IS DENIED BY TWO MEMBERS
Threaten to Oppose the Bill if the Sugar
Schedule Is Tampered with-Progress
Made in the Lesser Schedules.

There was more interest manifested yester-
day among Senators and members OF the
House not members Of the tariff conference
committee than on any previous day since
the conference Of the Democratic members OF
the committee began. and the air about both
the Senate and the House was full Of rumors
as to what had been done. Many OF these
stories were considered sufficiently well
founded to justify Senators and members in
discussing them as accomplished facts.
The most persistent OF these rumors was
that coal and iron ore were to be restored to
the free list as they were when the bill passed
the House. A thorough Investigation re-
vealed the fact that this story grew out of
conversation between members Of the COM
mittee and Senators and Representatives not
connected with it, and while it had not been
stated in these conversations that the COM
mittee had agreed upon these changes, the
outside members were given TO understand
that this was the programme and that it was
to be put into execution by the joint efforts of
the House conferees and two of the Senate
managers Of the conference. The members
OF the committee spoken to upon the subject
after the adjournment of the commit, ee de-
clared that no action had as vet been taken
upon these two items, and they went SO far
as to declare that they bad not even been DIS
cussed
They made the same denial of another
story which was current to the effect that
changes had been decided upon in the sugar
schedule. This like the coal and iron ore
rumor gained persistent circulation. and it
was sufficiently material to gain the attention
of the Louis ana Senators and cause them TO
declare themselves very openly in opposition
to any lowering of sugar duties, and to go so
far as to indicate determination to oppose
the bill when it il returned to the Senate if it
should be found that the rates had been
changed to the material injury OF this indus
try.
Senator Pugh, who has taken an active in
terest in the duty on coal and iron. admitted
that he had heard the report, and he seemed
to place credence in it, He was not Ileased
with the outlook. and did not hesitate to de-
clare that if such a report should he made it
would not be accepted by the Senate. and de-
cared that the committee would very soon
receive instructions to renew the conference.
When the conferees adjourned at $50
o'clock it was learned positively from con-
ferees OF both the Senate and House that no
agreement had yet been reached on iron. coal.
or sugar. The persistent report in circula-
tion during the afternoon that coal and iron
had gone back on the free list was spe-
cihcally denied by two members Of the CON-
mittee. II was stated that the progress was
on the lesser schedules and that while the
important items had been fully discussed
there was disposition to let them alone. as
no common ground had yet presented itself.
