cellent music. A full orchestra was in at

CLERKS ARE ANXIOUS.

There was much speculation among en-
p,oycs at the District birding this morning
as to whether Secretary Mortons discovery
that there is no law for Il half holiday
for Federal employees on December 81
would also affect District employees. They
were unanimous in the opinion that they
were not Federal office no ders. Their pay
comes from District taxes. and they declare
that President Cleveland has no right to
exercise such control over them He might
almost as well undertake to regulate the
movement or the city employees in Baltimore.
Still, one of them admitted rGcfully. he
might get an opinion from the Attorney
General constituting the law the other way
Then it would make very little difference
what our opinions were"
The order granting them half holiday for
today was niidc On December -. and still
stands.
r The board OF assistant ASSESSORS, Mcssrs.
Bates MorscH and johnson. are making
the most of the pleasant weather. They
were out early this morning making assess
ments for next years tax lists and they
viii not even allow New Years Day TO in
terfere with their work. Ir the weather is
favorable, they will spend tomorrow in the
field.
They are obliged under the law to make
a report next Monday.
1t is Improbable that the resolution re-
lievins them of this necessity will be passed.
They want to make as complete showing
as possible. They have not yet completed
the work in the southeast quarter of the
city, and it is physically impossible for
for them to finish by the appointed time.

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Deficit During the Past Six Months
Was SI5,OOO,OOO.

The figures of Treasury receipts and ex-
penditures for the first half of the fiscal
year 1896 are now practically completed.
The official statement to be issued on
Thursday, January 2, will show approxi-
mately that the receipts for the six months
were S167 500 900 and expenditures 81 g.
SOC, 600, ma king the deficit 5000, 900.
For the month of December the receipts
were light, being $26 $50, 900 and the ex-
penditures $25, $50 600, making an excess
of receipts over expenditures of 100000.
Because of the heavy interest payments
in January and the maturity OF 81, $50 COO
of Pacific Railroad bonds, it is anticipated
that the month Of January will show de-
ficit of 10000 900 or S12,OOO,OOO.

AGAINST THE LABOR BILL.
Commissioners Make Adverse
Report on the Measure.
NOT NECESSARY Or WISE
They Set Forth That Cont racf Labor
Could Not h. Abolished to Ad-
vanta 60, and Assert That the Clause
Providing for Maximum Wages Is
Superfluous-Other Objections.

An adverse report has been made by the
Commissioners on the draft of bill! sub
mitted to them and to be offered in Con-
grcss, providing that the Commissioners
have supervision and control OF all labor
employed ON public buildings and public
works for the District.
1t further provides that they shall desig-
nate Officers under whose immediate super
vision all such Ia Dor shall be performed: that
labor, skilled or unskilled, on such work,
must be employed by the day. and that no
work shall be done by contract. that all
laborers or mechanics SO employed shall be
paid at the maximum rate OF wages pre-
vaiiing In their trades in the District. The
Commissioners today returned it TO the
author with adverse recommendation.
Inspector OF Buildings Brady, to whom
the bill was first referred. reported that
in his Judgment such legislation would make
necessary an increase OF % per cent in
estimates for public buildings for the next
fiscal year.
DAY AND CONTRACT LABOR.
The Commissioners should. he thought.
be allowed to choose between the day work
and the contract method.
Commissioner Trnesdell Endorsed the
papers to the effect that the first section
was unnecessary. rs the Commissioners
have already the power conferred.
The second section was objec;iona BILE,
as 1T would prevent all competition.
1t might be well. he wrote. ito require all
public work involving expenditure of more
than 81 900 TO be done by contract.
Also the Commissioners might be author
lied advantageously 10 employ laborers by
the day to do public work when public
interests would be promoted thereby
AS to the third section, he understands
that it is the practice to pay the ma ximum
OF wages and there is no likelihood of
change. For these reasons he recommended
an adverse report.
DISCRETION Is ASKED.
Commissioner Ross recommended that
discretion be allowed the Commissioners TO
have the buildings erected by days labor
or by contract.
In returning the bill to Mr.. Blake, the
Commissioners say the first section is su-
perfiuous, the second Objectionable as con-
trary TO public interests and in some re-
spects impractIcab.c.
They are of the opinion that in some
cases it might be best to employ day labor
now done by contract, and that authority
should be given them to use their discretion
both in the construction OF buildings and
other pubic works. The provision that
ma yimum wages must be paid they consider
unnecessary.

LOGGERS TO COMBINE
They Want to Agree With
Lumbermen on Prices
MEET IN SECRET CONFERENCE.
Cnffbrm Prices, Classification and eonl.
Ing Sought by Amioable Agree
ment With tho Trust.

Following closely upon the organization
or the Central Lumber Company, as a Il.
gantic trust TO control the cargo trade Of
the Pacific coast. has coma a meeting OF
the loggers OF this section for the purpose
O. formulating plan by which they can
Cooperate with the mill owners. Day be-
fore yesterday several weIl-knowu Jog
gers arrived, and yesterday more came,
until last evening there were in the city
more than twenty, representing IN output
about fhree-fifths OF the logs on the
Sound. The principal object IN view is to
put an end TO excessive competition
among the loggers by combining for the
establishment OF uniform prices ard clas-
siAcation, and by auicahle agreement
with the combination OF mill owners to
secure an advance in prices whenever the
conditions OF the market warrant it
While those present al the meeting were
very positive in their denials that the i'm
mediate purpose was 70 agree upon an
advance OF any definite figure IL was evil
IDENTIFY the general sentiment that present
conditions warranted somewhat higher
prices, and that the lumber combine
should be asked 20 scale up the rates ac-
cordingly from the present figures, which
are $50 TO $50.
The meeting. which was secret. was held
at the Northern hotel last evening, and
there was fun attendance.
S. p. Flynn, of this city, was chosen
Chairman, and he stated that the object
was to discuss the adviSability OF getting
mp plan or agreement looking TO the es-
tabNshment of a uniform schedule OF
prices, classification and scale OF logs. and
to submit the same 10 the mill owners.
Their idea. the president said, was not TO
antagonize the mill owners. but TO come
TO some arrangement with them OF mutual
interest and benefit
II was determined TO formulate such a
plan. and a committee was appointed to
draft IL and submit 1t TO an adjourned
meeting 70 be held at the Northern next
Saturday night.
The committee appointed for this pur-
pose consisted of S. P. Flynn, receiver for
Mosher q Mcdonald and the Western
Land and Logging Company; S. J. Simp-
son, Michael Earles and James F. MeEl-
roy. OF this city; A. NJ. McDougal, Taco
