UNION TOOK IT UP.

Under these circumstances 1t was un-
doubtedly to the business interests of SEN
ator Stewart to have his paper published
| in Alexandria and not in Washington.
For this reason, possibly, when he bought
tie National Watchman plant 1t was not
moved to Washington as the place to do
business. ---- ----..
Members OF organized lator in this city
reported TO The Times that the compositors
| on the Silver knight were getting 50 a
week. although they are members OF Typo
graphical Union No. 1O1 of this city. The
fac-s as given by The Times were referred
to the Silver Knight management, one of
which. speaking for Senator Stewart, who
was absent, admitted the statements, but
justified the poor pay on the ground that
SO week was the current wages in
Alexandria.
This was evidently not satisfactory TO
union compositors, for q committee OF
the union Yves appointed to confer with Sen
ator Stewart. looking to an amicable ar
rangement if possible. In the meanwhile
the statement was made on authority that
if no other means could he applied Alex

PROMINENT VISITORS.
Trip to the Railroad Camps and other
Points Of Interest.

Mr.. NJ. P. Calender yesterday en-
tertained a number of visitors to As
toria on his steamer Wenona which
made trip at o'clock in the after
noon to Burnside point that the guests
might have a good view of the railroad
work. Among those in the party were

man, of the o, R. and N, and others.
The weather was perfect, and the
strangers who have been accustomed
to 100 degrees in the shade enjoyed
their outing very much, The stiff west
wind made the bay Just rough enough
to insure pleasant sailing. The trip
across Cathlamet Bay and along the
railroad embankment was appreciated
by everyone on board The work done
by Corey Brothers is first class in every
respect, and was a surprise to the
strangers. In the earlier part of the
day a visit was paid to the railroad
bridge. Warrenton, and Flavel. The
work being done in Astoria is creating
no end of favorable comment among
those who have an opportunity to see
1t.
President Curtis returned yesterday
from Portland, and had nothing new to
say in regard to the railroad work,
further than that they were pushing
everything on both sides Of the bay
as rapidly as possible, He is greatly
in hopes that one of the ships with
the steel rails will arrive within the
next day or two so that the track can
be laid across the bridge with the new
rails. A pleasant visit was paid to
the railroad headquarters by the visit
ing strangers, and some consultation

LEANDER WINS AGAIN.


Henley, July S.-After a somewhat
noisy night, in which the friends Of the
Yale men made Henley rather lively,
even for a regatta night. the second
day of the rowing opened hot humid
and with variable breezes. The course
presented the same animated and
crowded scene as yesterday, but every
where there was marked absence Of
Yale and American colors. On all sides
were heard expressions of regret for
the defeat of Yale, even among the
Leander men. The members of the
Yale crew were all well this morning
and occupied seats on the grand stand
The interest of the day centered in
the contests for the diamond sculls and
the grand challenge cup. In the fifth
heat of the diamond, the Hon. r. GUM
ess, holder of the trophy beat Vivian
Nickalls and in the fifth heat for the
grand challenge cup, Leander beat

rHE oERMAN.AMERIcANs.


The following significant letter has
been sent TO each member Of the Chi
cago convention now in session:
New York, June "a. 1896.
The German-American Sound Money
League, consisting Of members Of both
parties. was organized TO ascertain the
attitude Of the German-Americans in
regard to the money question. The
written replies received from all over
the United States justify the League
in making the following statements:
First-That Of the 5s1 Ger1nan-Amer-
lean newspapers in this country which
discuss politics. 4s9 are in favor Of the
present gold standard, % are for BIZ
metallism or free coinage Of silver. and
40 are doubtful. A majority Of the
said newspapers are published west Of
the Alleghanies.
Second-That ninety per cent Of the
German-American voters are in favor
Of the maintenance Of the present
gold standard and will support only
that party which in its platform de-
clares itself unequivocally in favor Of
that standard: that they will not vote
for presidential candidate, who. by
his letter of acceptance, does not
pledge himself to stand by this dec
laration.
Third-The party which in its plat
form and through its candidate for
president will declare emphatieally for
the maintenance OF the gold standard
will command almost the entire Ger
man vote. regardless of party afiilia-
tions.
The German-American Sound Money
League recognizes the following facts
as established by history, experience
and science:
/. That commerce and industry re-
quire ONE standard Of exchange;
2. That the government stamp upor
coin or paper does not impart any
! intrinsic value to them. but converts
them merely into an instrument Of con
venience;
81 That the value Of money consists
in its purchasing power;
l. That the issue by the govern
ment of money which in the markets
Of the world is not accepted for it.
face value. is a robbery committed
by the government against everybody
who is forced to accept said money a
its face value. unless the government
is ready and able to redeem 1t at it
pretended value.
