The Capitol Addition.

Work on the completion of the addl.
tion to the state capitol has begun at
last. 1t was expected when the work sus-
pended last fall that the month of April
this year would see it renewed, and that
bricks, would have grown into the de.
finite shapes Of the new structure ere
this. But several circumstances have
combined to a delay of the work until
this late date. The remaining $4,000 OF
capitol addition bonds we're not nego-
tiated until a few weeks ago. After this
had been done, and just as the arrange
ment with Sheckler Of St. Paul was
about perfected the temporary surcease
OF traffic from the east prevented the
beginning of work, iG being impossible
for the foreman to get there until traffic
should be resumed.
There are are now ready for use, about
100000 brick from the state yards. Ole
kiln OF these was completed last fall,
another was burned tbs spring. and still
another is in course of preparation.
Several bricklayers have been brought
from st Paul, and all who can be secured
will be employed at Bismarck. The
capitol commissioners hope to see the
addition very nearly completed by Nov.
ember 1st.

being much less than the usual amount,
while nearly every day has been clear
with intense heat. In the eastern part
OF the state better conditions have pre-
vailed. The rainfall has been much
heavier and we'll distributed showers at
intervals lave greatly helped crops. Corn
seems to be doing we'll in all parts of the
state, and oats, rye, barley, flax, millet
and potatoes bid fair to be good crop.
Haying is nearly finished and the crop
Will be small. Wheat is abont all headed
out with short straw and small heads.

The First Coast Tram.

At 1915 a. ~. Monday, the first through
tram arrived from the coast since the
strike was lnaugurated, tweoty days ago.
The train left Portland week ago and
Tacoma Tuesday morning, running in
tbs day time only for fear OF misplaced
switches and short rails, etc. Not until
Livingston was reached was it thought
advisable to release the extreme caution
in regard to night running and at l
o'clock a. N. 1t left that city, making the
run to Billings in perfect safety,
although the employees from that point
west to the coast we're then out, and the
tram was being run with non union men,
under guard Of U. s. deputy marshals.
A delay of 36 hours was occasioned at
MiesouIa by the burning of bridge
over Gold creek, 60 miles west of Helena.
Deputy marshals were on the train as It
passed this station.
1t was the current report that 'scab''
Engineer Martin had been killed out
west and that his body was on the train
east bound, but such, however, was not
the case. None of the trainmen or pas
sengers knew anything Of any accident
to that parsonage, and declared the story
a lie made up "out OF whole cloth" The
private car of the general manager was
attached to the train.

HENDRICKS BULLETIN,
Latest Announced Conditions
of Return to Work of N.
p. Employees.
Northern PacifiC's New Coal
ing Station--Republican
Convention.

0eperaI manager hendrlck mas Issued
a circular letter to all the employees of
the Northern Pacific rehearsing the facts
as vel! known to the public Nnce the IN
ception OF the strike, June 26th, since
when the entire system has been crlp-
pied. Continuing, the circular states
that from the inception of the difficulty
the employees have been called on for
services in their respective positions and
majority Of them have refused, thus
severing their connection wioh the road
under the recognized custom regulating
railway services. 1t ls the belief of the
management that there are many men
formerly in the employ of the road who
were coerced into striking, or led to do
so through lack of proper appreciation
OF the circu instances and conditions, and
who have both the will and ability to
render efficient and legal service, there
fore, notice is given that until y o'clock
noon Jaly Is, no new men will be assign
ed to duty, and applications Will be re-
celved from former employees as desire to
re.enter service subject to the following
conditlons:
"Application should be made to the
superintendent, foreman and other off,
GERS and agents, who usually and Gus
tomarily employ men, The men will
take rank and have their rights in the
same relation to each other that existed
before they severed their connection
with the road. The men who have not
been called or who have not evaded calls
for service, will be considered as still in
the employ OF the road and will rank
and have rights as on June 26, 1894.
From and after u o'clock noon on Sun
day next the assignment OF new men to
positions will continue, and SEMI
ority rights OF such appointee
will date from the time Of their assign
ment to duty. The men who have for
mented disturbance, who have partici-
pated in violence, or in the destruction
OF railroad property, who have counseled
dsobedience to the rules of this road,
who have interferred with and sought to
prevent men from performing service for
the road, or in other words, the aRitators,
will not b. acceptable aud will not be re-
employed or employed under any cir
cumstances. The management promises
to accord to the various labor organiza-
tions full recognition in the same man
ner and to the same extent IN the future
as in the past"

The New Coallng Station.

Tie excavation for the new coal docks
in Fargo has been let to James Kennedy
of that city, and work on the structure.
it is expected, will be pushed rapidly to
completion. The new docks will be as
serviceable and economical as thev will
be unique, almost entirely dispensing
with labor, everything being done by ma
chlnery wLetever possible.
The coal, instead of beng run up in
cars on an elevated track to be labor
iously emptied by means Of wheelbar-
rows, will be run over pit, whose top is
on level With the surface Of
the surrounding ground, dumped
and there, by means OF an endless belt
to which are attached buckets, will be
elevated to storage bins. placed at con-
venient height above the track. Pockets
conveniently located at the bottom of
the storage BIN, filed automatically by
gravity alone, will permit OF the coaling
OF engines with the minimum Of cost
and labor. At the same time that the
engine is being coaled the ashes will be
raked out by hand in the usual manner,
but with greater ease, and falling into a
hopper beneath the track will be re.
moved by conveyor in the same manner
IN which the coal is elevated, and ele-
vated to large storage bin, from which
they can be removed from time to time
as occasion requires, gravity alone being
the agency which loads them on csrs for
disposal and distribution. IL go desired
sand can be stored and supplied to en-
gines in the same manner in which they
are coaled.
The coaling station is 90 constructed
that the engines will be inside Of the sta
tion instead OF outside when receiving
fuel and d,schsrging ashes, as in the old
style coal docks. A small stationery en-
Rine, located at one end OF the coaling
station, will furnish power for the con-
veyors and will be run only az necessity
occasions only once or twice day, or
half day at time, according to the
capacity Of the conveyors and :he de-
mands made upon the supply Of fuel, etc.
This system OF coaling stations has been
in operation on several eastern roads,
among which is the Philadelphia and
