Alleged Object Of the Promoters Of
the buffalo Strike.
BUFFALO, n. Y, April IA strong at
tempt was made today to induce the street
car motormen and conductors on all the
lires to refuse to take out their cars Com
mittees of the strikers union went from
barn to barn to call out the men, but only
those who have affiliated with the organiza-
tion laid off.
Instead. therefore. Of tying up all the lines
in the city, the strikers have succeeded onlv
in laying Off few cars on some East Side
lines.
The service on the West Side is not inn
paired. One reason why the men are reIuc-
tant to strike is that there Is no better rea-
son for it than desire On the part of the
organizers to demonstrate how strong their
union Is. Their demonstration is a fzzle
so far.

there will he dissolution of the contract
between the government and the District
of Columbia.
Why Mr.. Hainer Advocated 1t.
Mr.. Hainer of Nebraska said 1t afforded
him a peculiar pleasure to advocate this
bill He was unalterabiy opposed to spend
ing money for private purposes. but was
always in favor of expenditures for educa-
tional facilities for the masses. A free pub
lie library, he said. was one of the best of
all educational methods. In answer to a
question by Mr.. Power he said that he
would be in favor of a national university
on the ground Of public education. He said
that this bill was a wise one in the inter-
est Of the masses and he hoped the House
would vote for it.
Mr.. GrOut Favors the Motion.
Mr. Grout of Vermont then addressed the
House in favor of the motion that the House
recede from its amendment to the Senate
bill. The question before the House, he
said. was whether Congress should keep its
word and act in good faith In carrying out
the act OF 1878 The District had no voice
in that legislation and it was put upon them
by Congress The faith cf the government
should be maintained and the House should
Lot sneak away from its obligations. Mr.
Grout revived the history of the organiza.
ton of Washington and held that the pres
ent form of government here is in the ma
ture of written contract between the
United States and the District Of Columbia
and a contract cannot be changed collater.

ROCK COULD BE CHEAPER.

1t is contended by Highway COmmis-
sioner Maude that with proper hand
ling the crushed rock, which now costs
cities and contractors % cents a ton
can be placed free on board the cars al
maximum cost of 20 cents a ton, and
probably less.
1t is asserted on good authority that
a bill will be introduced in the Legisla-
ture to cut out the Bureau of Highways
entirely, SO far as the rock-cruShing
plant is concerned, and leave the mat
ter entirely in the hands of the Prison
Directors, and at least one member Of
the Bureau of Highways states that ii
is to the end that the Prison Directors
may put the price of crushed rock III
to any figure they desire. This idea is
further carried out by the allegation
that the proposed bill will contain a
section fixing the minimum price OF
crushed road metal at 2S cents a ton.

GRAND ISLAND.
What 1t Costs to Thoroughly Reclaim
Bottom Lands.

Secretary W. j. Smith of Swamp Land
Reclamation District No. 3, which en-
braces 10000 acres of Grand Island, in
this county, has filed his report of re-
ceipts and expenditures.
The year 1897 will probably finish all
levee and drainage work, and the after
expense will consist of pumping out
sipage water and natural rainfall,
which ought to be done for perhaps 81
per acre per annum.
If the river channel is taken care of,
as now seems likely it will be. the Grand
Island people can rest from levee build
ing. Following is the financial report

But the four cents extra per ton of
crushed rock that the contractor has
been obliged to pay over and above his
contract price does not alone constitute
the cause for the ruEnblings that have
been heard. The bill, as drawn by Com
missioner Maude and passed by the last
Legislature, provides: The Governor
of the State, the State Prison Directors
and the Bureau of Highways shall
when satisfied that J0,000 cubic yards
of prepared road or highway metal, as
hereinafter described, will be taken for
highway purposes, purchase, establish
and operate at one or both of the State
Prisons, a rock or stone crushing plant
to be operated by convict labor and by
the application of power under control
Of the State Prison Directors, and with
such free labor as is necessary for su-
perintendence and direction, to crush
rock or stone into road metal for high
way purposes of different and necessary
degrees Of fineness"
There is no such thing as Joint
board consisting of the Governor, Board
Of Prison Directors and Board of High
way Commissioners, so at joint meet
ing il was decided TO leave the matter
in the hands of the Prison Directors,
subject to approval of the Governor and

decided that Warden Aull should be
