STILL THEY PROSPER.
Prosperity Reigns Supreme Among
the Combines.

New York, April "a prominent
glass dealer said yesterday: eve are
no longer Nero hants, but simply tools
of the glass trust" This remark was
prompted by the advance of per cent
in prices, made by the American Win
dow Glass company last Friday. This
is the fourth increase made in prices
by that company since it succeeded in
securing additional protection under
the Dingley bill. Two years ago Sx1O
glass sold for 81. OF per box; one year
ago the price was raised to ST So; and
now it is $2.01. Jobbers say the pub
ication by the trust of their rates to
buyers is manifest1y unfair. 1t is esti-
mated that the trust controls 95 per
cent of the total output of window
glass in this country, and the last five
per cent increase will bring the price
up to point just inside the cost of
the foreign article, plus the duty.
Local dealers say that in no line of
business is the Dingley bill working
to the detriment of the general public
a more direct and onerous way than in
the glass industry.

NUMBER ~
WILL STRIKE FIRST
A Declaration of War Will
Find Flying Squadron
On its Way to Intercept Spanish Fleet
And 10 siexe the Canary Islands.

| Washington, April 1.-THE Navy
department is preparing to strike the
first blow.
TO INTERCEPT THE SPANISH FLEET.
The flying squadron will, therefore,
move from Hampton Roads, and if the
torpedo flotilla shall have left Porto
Graude, in the Cape Verde islands, it
will sail straight for the path the flo
tilla will take on its journey to Puerto
Rico. If it meets the flotilla, the
squadron will capture or destroy it.
If it meets the cruiser fleet, the squad
ron will also fight it.
1t will, whether it meets either of
these fleets, proceed to its destination,
the Canary islands. These islands
will be made the base of operations of
this country against Spain, and they
will be captured at once and supplied
with coal and munitions for the fleets
of the United States.
If the torpedo f1oti1la should escape
the squadron, Commodore Schley has
orders to proceed to the Canaries with
out loss of time in searching the At
lantic for these fugitive boats, and to
seize the islands as soon as possible
and hold them for the purpose in view.
From this vantage point, the flying
squadron will be in position to cut off
the torpedo fiotilla and the cruiser
fleet should they in the meanwhile put
back to Spain. With the flying squad
ron cutting off their retreat and the
fleet under Captain Sampson sweep
ing the waters of Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the entire Antilles, it is thought
that the Spanish fleet can be caught
between the lines and captured.
TO BLOCKADE THE HARBoR OF HAVANA.
A part of the plan consists in the CO.
operation at once of the fleet under
Captain Sampson with the flying
squadron, and as soon as the latter
starts for the Canaries, Captain Samp-
son will sail for Havana, seal up that
harbor with few vessels, aud pass on
to meet the two Spanish squadrons. 1t
is feared that this part of the pro-
gramme may miscarry, as it is thought
that the Spaniards will put back to
their own coasts as soon as they learn
of the sailing of the flying squadron.
Unless the torpedo f1ot,lla starts
back from the Cape Verde islands at
once, its retreat may be cut off, and it
is thought that it will not risk moving
an inch nearer the American coast
with the formidable squadron on the
| lookout.
After the seizure of the Canaries,
the islands will be used as a base of
naval operations for two purposes.
One of these will be the capturing of
| Spanish merchantmen. The other
will be the harrying of the coast of
| Spain.

The actual extra cost of plastering
was probably notso great, as the con-
tractors saved about 800 yards of plas-
tering by the removal of the walls. 1t
is figured by an experienced contract
or that S85 would have been fair pay.
After Fellows & Vansant refused to
allow Hopkins claim the latter
brought suit against them in Justice
Guys court at Topeka and secured
judgement tor $135 and costs amount
ing to S3O.6S. The abstract of judg-
ment in this case shows for itself and
is given here in fac simi1e. On De-
cember 10, 1896, Fellows & Vansant
executed a voucher for S165.o5 and pre-
sented it to the State Auditor for pay
ment. This voucher shows on its
face in specific way just what, the
payment demanded was for and jan
uary 6, 1897, it was allowed and paid,
the warrant being for $13S, the costs
not being included. No record can be
found that the Executive Council ever
ordered that any amount be paid on
this second claim for this work. The
State Architect did not approve such
voucher. The payment was made by
State Auditor Cole, without authority
of law, in face of the fact that the full
bill of extras had already been paid
directly to the contractors. That
there may be no misapprehension as
to this voucher it is shown in this is |

floors in the Treasurer's lavatory and
vest ibule; also casing I beam Asso-
ciate Justices quarters, and other
work not otherwise specified or pro-
vidcd for in contract" This is very
vague record, and it requires careful
examination of the plans and specih-
cations to determine what it really
means. 1t should have been so clear
that no one could misunderstand it.
Very conservative figures show that
this is high price for the work which
app ars to have been done. The fact
that it can not be easily figured on is
not a good sign. Such things are
very often done when a job is to be
GOV red up. With reference to the
iron beams referred to, which consti-
tutc the principal item of expense for
material, the records fail to show
whether the beams were bought by
the contractors, or by the State or
werc beams which former contractor
had at the building and which disap-
peared. At any rate this bill for ex-
tras was allowed March IS, 1896, and
was probably paid in a job lot of claims
on June ,, 1896. That it was paid for
admits of no doubt.
Much of the work done under this
claim was the removal of two parti-
tions in the Associate Justice quarters.
Un1er the original contract these were
to lie coffered and plastered. Instead
of doing this these petitions were re-
moy ed and an / beam was put in to
support the wall above. This beam
had to be corniced with plaster, which
work was done by W. E. Hopkins &
Co. The tiling and cementIng of
floors in the Treasurer's 1avatory was
prc rcvided for in the original contract
and was not an extra. The 1 beam

SPAIN DOOMED.
Has No Footing Apart From Her
Own Boundaries.

Vancouver, B. c., April 9.-War is
ranging in the island of Luzon, and is
rapidly assuming as serious proper
tions as the rebellion of 1867. At
tacks were made upon the Spanish
quarters at Subig and Apilit, the reb-
els capturing and carrying off large
quantities of ammunition.
All the northern provinces are af-
fected. The natives refuse the taxes.
Many of the rich natives and half
castes are closing their business places
and are preparing to leave the islands.
The provinces of Zambales, Tariac
and Pangasinana are in open revolt.
News has just reached Manila that
the telegraph lines connecting the ca
BILE with Manila, were DESTROYED by
the rebels March z, near Bolinao.
From the latest Hong Kong papers
brought from the Empress of Japan,
it is learned that there has been very
exciting times recently in the Phillip
pines, Spanish troops being surprised
and massacred. The Bolina staff of
the Eastern Extension Telebraph
company were practically beseiged
for five DAYS on account of Spanish
soldiers taking refuge there. From a
Spanish gunboat a detachment of
marines were landed and the station
was opened after heavy firing between
the station and the rebel camps. Two
days afterwards the British cruiser
Edgar arrived. About the same time
Gen. Monet and 1000 men arrived
overland. Gen. Monet said he had
five epg agements between Bolina and
Lingayen. The insurgents, he said,
suffered heavy losses and the Spanish
losses were one lieutenant and one
soldier. The garrison and priests of
/ neighborfng villages had been killed,
lonly six soldiers managing to escape.
