The Edwards & Walsh Construc-

the brick work will not begin for
some time, as the brick will not be

The Unions position in opposing
the Seventeenth street improvement
is not ut all unique. 1t is occupying
the same attitude it has toward all
public improvements, especially
where they were not looked upon
with favor by Rock Islands great
obstructionist.
In the mention OF prominent dem
cratic candidates before the coming
convention Yesterday, THE ARGUS ac-
cidentally omitted the name of SUI
pcrvisor j. q. Britton, who is favora-
bly, spoken of as n candidate for
sheriff. for the duties of which office
he is. by experience. peculiarly quail

You will. pave anywhere. even Twen-
tieth street, but let Seventeenth

ordinance must be pretty solid if the
last resort is to attempt to draw at
tention from it. Perhaps it will hold
water better than that on Twentieth
street. Is that where the shoe
pinches?
The Union. in attempting to make
the position of the obstructionists in
the Seventeenth street pavement
matter appear plausible. seems to
forget the very same identical prop
erty holders who are engineering the

defeat the Improvement south of
Ninth avenue. on the ground that 25
per cent is more than the city should
pay for intersections, attempted to
induce the commissioners to saddle

consistency OF some of the people OF
this town is something remarkable.

thing to do with the cause of the
strike. When the rush was over
prices got down TO bedrock and men
We're satisfied
Mr. Wickes said the amount of back
rent due the company from strikers
was 100000 No eviction had been
made and there had been no orders
for eviction. Very little effort had
been made to collect the rent. He de-
MED that the Pullman employees were
compelled to rent the company's
dwellings, The witness was questioned
as to the salaries paid to officers of
the company, but declined to answer.
He said the cost to the company of
building cars under contract at the
time of the strike was about 81, 100000,
The labor would cost about $240OOO.
The contracts We're taken on the basis
of a reduction of 20 per cent. Thus
under the old prices the labor would
have cost about $340.000. Wickes ad-
mitted that on this basis the company
had reduced the receipts $4,000 and
the employees wages 100000. This, the
vice president said, looked hardly
fair, but he thought it much better
than to throw men entirely out OF en-
ployment In answer to the chair
man, Wickes said the cut in pay had
been made to fit the depression in
business and in the low selling prices
of cars, and not to stop any encroach-
ments on the profits paid stockholders.
The surplus of $25,O0O,00O undivided
profits consisted partly of idle cars
whose value was constantly deteriorat-
ing The cost of the cars was counted
in the surplus, so there was to some
extent a fiction in the figure of the
surplus.
General Nelson "A Miles took the
stand after lunch. He denied fatty
tie story that on his arrival here from
Washington he consulted with the
&c neral managers. Asked if it waS
true that he declared that he had
broken the backbone of the strike, the
general said, what he had said was
that he had broken the backbone of
the opposition to federal troops:

THE QUEENS CONDITION.
1t VIII Require Much Labor to Put
Her in Good Shape.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 2S.-
The steamer City of Topeka arrived
from Alaska today with late news con-
cerning the stranded steamer Queen
Sunday evening at high tide, after the
Queen had been relieved of the freight
in the forward hold, the anchors and
chains taken ashore, and several hun
dred tons of coal discharged overheard,
she f1oated off and was beached at
Alert bay, ten miles distant. A boul-
der had penetrated her forward COM
partment, knocking off plate and ad-
hitting a large volume of water, but
the damage could not be ascertained
until the tide had fallen, which would
have been yesterday six hours after
the Topeka left. Captain Carroll told
the passengers he was unable to as
certain the extent of the injury, and
that he might possibly patch up the
aperture and return to the Victoria
drydock for repairs. Two of the ex-
cursionists decided to return and come
down on the Topeka and the others
stopped by the vessel and will con-
tinue north on the next trip Of the To-
peka. The officers of the Topeka think
the Queen more seriously damaged
than at first reported, and that it will
require much labor and expense to
put 0er In nfSI-CldSS COIlultlOu.
A. Lordeaux, of Duluth, one of the
Queens passengers, who came down
today, said that the shock of the YES
sci going on the rocks was scarcely
felt, and that few realized the ship
was aground until next morning. The
beach all along Cormorant island Is
sand except where the accident oc-
Cured, and that for fifty of sixty feet
| is strewn with sharp jagged rocks.
The passengers are encamped ashore,
enjoying the novelty of the excursion.
The steamer Topeka brings news
| from Juneau that a fierce battle oc-
Cured at Chilcat last week between
J Indiars who had got drunk on whis-
key furnished by smugglers, and that
sly Indians had been killed. A dep
uty collector of customs and posse left
juneau on the steamer Wrestler to
seize the liqtlor, arrest the smugglers
and quiet the Indians. There a.:e sew

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 2s.-Specials to
the Sentinel from Marshfield and Grand
Rapids say the little lumber town of
Vesper was destroyed by forest fire
today. The large saw and planning
mills belonging to the Sherry Lumber
company ard twenty-three buildings,
all there were in the town, were
burned. The only train on the Port
Edwards road has been abandoned and
telegraph communication is cut off,
hence the loss cannot now be estimat-
ed.
A dispatch from Marengo, in Ash
land county, states that forest fires
are still IA aging along the Wisconsin
Central railroad.

done that much and done 1T perfectly,
it will be easy to proceed to the full
realization of tariff reform. The great
struggle has been to secure a recognl-
ton of the principle rather than the
perfection OF the details. The details
must come by the irresistible force of
circumstances now that the principle
is obtained.
What is there in the assertion that
a resumption of the tariff agitation
next winter will bring a recurrence of
business unrest? ?"
That's wholly unwarranted,' said
Mr. Wilson. There need be no gen.
eral bill reaching all industries, 50
that legislation will not be such as to
affect commercial affairs generally.
Tariff rates will remain stable on
very great majority of articles, and 1t
will be upon comparatively few that
a presentation of details will be neceS-
sary in order that the tariff reform
placed on the statue books shall be a
consistent whole
Mr.. Wilson spoke in warm approval
of President Cleveland's letter to Mr.:
Catchings, saying it is strong in the
expressions and sentiments set forth.

congressman Less Reti-
cent, However.
Opinions for and Against-Mr Wilson
Thinks Tariff Reform Has
Bright Future.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-The few
senator's at the capitol today refused
to express an opinion for publication
on the letter of Mr.. Cleveland to Catch
ir gs The democratic senators said
they had nothing to say but they
seemed to feel that it was aimed at
them. Republicans said there seemed
to be no necessity at present for them
to get into the fight in the ranks Of
their opponents, and they would not
be quoted regarding it.
Members Of the house are not as
reticent as the senators were. Repre-
sentative Sperry (dem. COM who op-
posed the Wilson bill, said:
''I was in hopes the president would
spare his party the infliction Of another
letter The tariff bill is distinctly
party measure and according to the
presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson 1T is
permeated with perfidy and dishonor.
If that be a correct description of the
bill I do not see on what ground the
democratic party can ask to be con-
tinued in power. 1t seems by this sec
ond letter that the tariff fight must
be continued. This position must be
disquieting to all the business interests
of the country. Democrats this fall
are placed on the defensive by these
two letters, first, in Offending the
policy of perfidy and dishonor, and sec
ond, by threatening all the business
interests of the country with further
attempts at tariff Legislation. My opin-
ion of the bill is that there's no perfdy
or dishonor in the bill itself or in the
motives Of the senators instrumental
in it's passage. 1t is more a mature
and equitable measure than the Wilson
bill, and will produce a revenue which
the Wilson bill professedly would not

It is to be hoped that the president will
not write any more campaign docu-
ments for the republican party pending
the coming election"
Representative Johnson, (Ohio), said:
THE effect of his failure to sign the
bill and the writing of this letter will
be to intensity and continue the fight
against protection, not protection as
he puts it, but democratic protection" :"
Mr.. Warner, (dem. N. ": The pres
ident's letter will meet with the un-
qualified approval of all true frlends

Mr. Mcguire, (dem. CALI: Il con-
slider the letter a very valuable con-
tribution to the democratic literature
of the campaign, because it will remove
from the minds of the people the i'm
preston derived from the letter OF
Mr.. Wilson that the tariff bill as
amended by the senate was regarded
by him as vicious and its enactment
perfidious and dishonorable. His pres
ent letter specifically points out his OBJ
jections to the measure which fully
comedies its merits as great step in
the direction of true tariff reform and
as affording a new and excellent point
of vantage in the fight for democratic
principles"
