LABOR MEN OBJECT
Protest Against the Inscription on Monu
. ment in Frisco.
COL Graham Defends the Legend and
an Appeal is Made to the Sec
rotary of War,

Secretary Lamont has been called on to
settle an interesting controversy between
the American Railway Union and Colonel
Wm M. Graham, fifth artillery, command
ing the United States troops at the Pre-
sidio of San Francisco. Last winter there
was erected in the national cemetery at
San francisco a monument to the four
soldiers of the fifth artillery who lost their
lives in the conflict between the United
States troops and the rioters near Sacra-
mento during the great railroad strike.
The inscription on the stone is this:
Murdered by Strikers"
Col. Graham's Letter,
This inscription is regarded by many
labor leaders as an insult to the cause of
labor" and a general movement has been
started to secure the removal of the OBJ
noXious legend.
labor organization, calling for the re-
moval of the inscription, were presented to
Colonel Graham and provoked from him
the following written response:
II am a competent judge of how these
soldiers met their Deaths and the words
Murdered by Strikers exactly and justly
express my judgment on that point:
For this reason I respectfully decline
to comply with the reasonable demand Of
men who have publicly put themselves out
side of the law, and of the respect of hon
est, law-abiding citizens by adopting reso-
lrtions of sympathy with public enemies
and condoning the crime of murder
An Appeal to the Secretary.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, the monu-
ment is guarded day and night to prevent
it's destruction. The A. r. u does not re-
gard Col. Graham's decision as final, and
has taken an appeal to the War Depart
ment Considerable interest is taken in the
matter, ard it remains for Secretary La
mont to say whether Col. Graham shall be
sustained or not. The decision of this ques-
ton is fraught with political consequences.

WILL OPEN NEXT MONDAY
The New Lafayette Square Opera House
is Completed.
Work Has Been Rushed Night and
Description of the Building.

No one not familiar with the rapidity
with which work can be done under pres
sure would have believed from visit to
the Lafayette Square Or era House early
in the week, it possible that the building
could be finished so as to be opened to the
public next Monday night. There were the
usual piles of rubbish in front Of the build
ing, including boards which had constituted
the scafolding, terra Gotta pipes bricks
and pieces of stone and the litter that is al
ways made by building material. Inside,
though the scaffolding had been taken
down, there was painful evidence of incom-
pleteness The iron grooves in which the
scenery is to run were just being put into
the walls on the stage, and on that part of
the building everything looked bare and
desolate.
In the auditorium some of the chairs had
been put into the orchestra, but all around
the lower floor workmen were busy putting
the kalsomining on the walls, while in the
balcony and galleries similar work was be-
ing carried on. There were no balusters
TO the broad stairs that lead from the lobby
to the balcony above, and the private boxes
scantl:ng. The front Of the stage was
unfinished, and the handsome doors had not
yet arrived. Much of the ornamental iron
work that should have been put in had just
and galleries were widely openworked.
In the midst of all this confusion, seated
in a big arm chair in one of the orchestra
aisles, was Mr.. John w. Albaugh to whom
the progress of all this work going on
around him meant much. He had been
compelled to postpone the opening of this
opera house, of which he is not only to be
the manager, but in which he Is deeply
financially interested and he didn't propose
to disappoirt the public again If the men
could be kept at work by constant and
vigorous supervision. He has had to be on
the ground for several weeks past, pushing
very negligent. Had every contractor kept
his agreement, had his material on the
ground when he said he would, and COM
pleted his part of the work when the speci-
fications called for its completion, Mr.. AL
baugh says the house would have been
opeLed on the 23d instant, fully complete in
every respect.
II don't Think he said to Star reporter
that we have been more than four months
in erecting the building, and if you deduct
the time lost it wasn't that long 1 think
We commenced work about the middle of
April. OF course, the foundation was laid
before, but all during the time we were
having the difficulty in Congress no work
was being done After we commenced there
was long delay on the part of the iron
men, and that put US back. Then it seems
to me that every contractor lost some time
I've had to push them all or else the work
would not have been done until winter.

broken white and yellow mass obscured the
roadway for several square yards The
catastrophe all but stunned the country
nan at first, for he had brought his eggs
miles and had expected to exchange them
for home necessities For two minutes he
just managed to gasp and distend his eyes;
then he recovered his speech, and with a
gesture and voice that were tragic in their
intensity he yelled to the assembled crowd ::
thatMr' Then, with lingering look at his
smashed fortune, he moved toward his horse
and slowly began the work of repairing
knocked-out harness for temporary use.

MISTAKE OF THE REPUBLICANS.

Defeated by Their Insane Force Bill Issue
I'm 1892.
Chairman Manley Of the national re-
publican executive committee ex-
presses with candor the opinion that
his party made great mistake about
the force bill issue, and should have
dropped it eight years before they did.
This is retrospective and historical,
but it is interesting and undoubtedly
true. We imagine Mr.. Manley says no
more than his former chieftain, the
Hon. James G. Blaine, would say if he
were living now, or would have said
with entire frankness if questioned on
the subject at any time within four
years before his death.
We believe, Furthermore, that the re-
mark of Mr.. Marley expresses the
present convictions of Hon. Thomas b.
Reed on the subject. The force bill
issue in 1892 was primarily and pc
culiarly the creation of Gen. Harrison,
and it defeated him and elected Mr..
Cleveland.
There is no probability that the
democratic campaign of 1896, whoever
the republican candidate may be, will
turn on the issue of federal interior
ence in elections and negro domino
ton in the south.
The disappearance of that issue from
American politics was the greatest il
not the only important result of the
democratic victory three years ago
next November.-N. Y. Sun.

William Prisk was rescued alive. Ter
men are known to be dead under

arrived to investigate the disaster. He

HOLMES INTERVIEWED.

Gays the Bones Found at Irvfngton are
Doubtless Those OF Howard PietzeI.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug 30-Lawyer w.
A. Shoemaker had another long con-
ference in Moyaneming prison with
his client, the alleged wholesale MUIR
derer. II. ii. Holmes, during which the
prisoner protested his innocence of
complicity in the killing of Howard
PietzeI, whose bones are said to have
been found in dwelling near Indian
spolis-
Holmes states that he is almost GER
tain that the fragments of human
bones unearthed by the detectives are
those of the missing lad. but declares
that the boy was murdered by the
mysterious Hatch. He further posi-
lively asserts that Hatch killed both of
the other Pietzel children. WhenDetec-
tive Geyer returned from the west he
called upon Holmes, and was fur
nished with clew that led him to In
sdianapolis-
Holmes appeared to be willing and
anxious to aid the detective in loca-
ting Howard Pietzel, and gave Geyer
valuable information that led to the
.anding of the bones MIR. Shoemaker
says that his client can prove beyond
q shadow of doubt that he could not
possibly have killed young Howard
