A slice Of Liberty street on the west side Of
Broadway caved In suddenly about noon yester-
day, and played havoc with the water main and
the network Of gas and other pipes under
ground at that point. Building operations that
have been going on on both sides Of the narrow
thoroughfare have necesaitAted the closing Of
the street from Broadway to Church street, and
part OF the nadway had been cut away on each
aide until only about fifteen feet Of IL remained,
which was too narrow TO permit its use for
traffic. Deep excavations were made for two
sKysCrapers that are to he erected, one on each
side Of the street, but tho e~mhankments, It was
Thought. had been thoroughly shored up.
and wooden bridges were built over the excava-
TONS TOR tho accommodation of pedestriana.
This cavern occurred on the northern side
the excavation at the northwest corner
had climbed out to get their dinner. There
Lar section slid down on the north side
OF the street. making n hole about seven
feet deep and fifteen in diameter. The supports
OF tho bridge trembled and tho bridge sagRed.
Then a joint Of tho two-foot water main burst
and a cataract Of water spurted out, flooding
the excavation on tho north side, The sewer
pipe was displaced, and the network OF gas pipes
was twisted and strained.
Broadway was crowded with pedestrians and
there was a rush to see what had happened. The
thoroughfare was blocked In a iify, and Capt.
Westervelt's Reserves had a hard time raising
the blockade. Word Of the mtBhap was teIe-
phoned to tho Department Of Public Works and
To the Building Department. Inspectors from

sat TO work TO brace up the water main and put

pany were kept busy s%tr1ightening out the gas
pipes. and Contractor Galligan OF the Building
Department brought . fire engine and set it to
work pumping out the water.

well known a. an Industrious and faithful news
paper man, Is about to bring suit for $4,000
damages against the Ecening Post for libel.
Mr.. Bonsal's lawyer In George L. Rives, counsel
for Harper & Bros. one Of whose publications Is
also discredited ii in the Poafs attacks upon Mr..
Bonsai.
There have been tv~ such attacks recently.
Mr.. Bonsal was absent In Cuba at the time OF
the first. He returned to this country so long
after IT'S publication that 1t seemed best to let
the matter lie. The second attack was printed
on Thursday Afternoon. This sample paragraph
Of It refers to testimony Mr.. Bonsnl has been In
vtted to give before a Senate committee:
wo have allowed humbus and mendsclous cor
respondents to lead US into a ridiculous position. We
have Town TO relieve distress which was tho creature

purported to be a review Of that book In the

Madrid. I always believed the object Of the at

self. Haskell said that he had not men
toned Rogers, but ''if the shoe fit he
could put it on"
Rogers, infuriated beyond measure at
this language, rushed al Haskell, grabbed
him by the throat and threw him over a
chair. The men were kept apart by others
rushing between, but Haskell screamed so
loudly with wrath that the men below
stairs rushed up to see what was tte
trouble. Rogers afterward apologized for
his hasty action.
Haskell then Iose and stated that he
could whip Rogers any day in the week
in 24-foot ring, but was quieted by those
near him.
The next question that came up was th e
turning over of John G. Cores books,
which he had when he acted as treasurer.
He was ordered to d o this by the execu-
tive com mittee some months ago. but has
refused to do so. Carleton II. Johnson
explained the condition of affairs and IN
simulated that something was wrong in
Cores refusal to give up the books.
The latter rose to make an explanation n
and was called several unprintable names
by various of the mem bers. Haskell de-
manded to know if his refusal to turn
over the books was because the books
would show that the finances were not
right.
Gore asserted that any man who said
that was a liar. and thereupon Haskell
rushed at him and struck HIM in the face.
Gore grappled with his smaller antagonist,
and the men were separated.
The rest of the report as adopted as a
whole.
By motion Gore was given until next
Wednesday noon to turn the books over TO
the proper persons under penalty OF being
sued for their possession.

Meeting of San Francisco Labor Council
Last Night.
San Francisco Labor Council held a
meeting Friday night at Union Hall ith
President Hill in the chair. Representa-
tives from the various trades unions were
present.
The following letter from Stephen
M. White, chairman OF the United States
Senate Committee on Commerce, was re-
ceived:
COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, U. s. SENATE
WASHINGTON, d. G., June 20, 1897
Ed Rosenberg, Secretary San Francisco Labor
Councit-DEAR SIR: Yours OF the 18th inst,
containing resolutions opposing the annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian Islands, received. You
are undoubtedly right in opposing the absurd
proposition advanced by the present admins
iration. We have enough Of competition aud
trouble at home without importing any more
of like material here / send you copy of
the record containing the population OF the
Hawaiian Islands as shown by the recent
census. Yours truly, STEPHEN NJ. WHITE.
A letter OF similar import was also
received from S. G. Hilborn, of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs.
The delegates from the printers,
bakers, ironmolders, horseshoers' and
pattern makers unions all reported about
the same condition of affairs-very little
work and plenty of men 10 do it..
A donation of $5 was received from San
Diego Labor Union for the Worden fund.
Tho local printers and horseshoers also
donated $5 and So respectively to this fund.
The committee on organization reported
that they had organized the walters of
this City on a sound basis last Tuesday
evening, and had the organization of other
trades well under way.
