IRVING M. SCOTT
 HOME FROM EUROPE
WILL REACH SAN FRANCISCO IN
 ABOUT TEN DAYS.
He Has Met With Success in the Business Which Called Him
 Across the Atlantic.

Dr. George Chismore returned last night from Europe and received a warm wei come at his home, 705 Sutter street He has been absent since last April during which period he has been the medical at tendaht and travelling companion of Irv- ing M. Scott on his business tour in Eu- rope. Dr. Chismore left Mr. Scott in New York; from which city he was to pro- eeed, in day or two, to Washington, intending to reach San Francisco in about ten days. MT. Scott is in excellent health and spirits, says Dr. Chismore, who, however. stated that he was not permitted to say anything about MT. Scotts business affairs further than that he had been entirely successful in the various matters which had called him to Europe, with the exception that he did not secure any contract for the building of any battleships. The inference is that he obtained contracts for large amount of other shipbuilding work
 MT. Scott and pr. Chismore spent a month in St. Petersburg, and made ex- cursions to various important business centers, among the places visited being Moscow. They also visited all the prin- cipal iron works and shipbuilding estab- lishments in Northern Europe, including England, and at all these places the name of Scott and the fame of the Union known. MT. Scott was well received by all the great shipbuilders, all of whom knew of the exploits of the warships that had been turned out from the Union Iron Works, especially the Olympia and the Oregon,

---------------- SOL CAHEN RETURNS.
Is Rendered Hearty Reception by a
 Host of Veteran Friends.

Sol Cahen, department commander, G. A. R., returned last night from the na- tional encampment at Cincinnati. He was received at the depot by five hundred members of the G. A. R. posts and the veteran guards, who, headed by the band of the Fifty-first Iowa, escorted him to B'nai Brith Hall, where he was rendered a reception.
 General Edward Solomon, past depart ment commander, acted as chairman and made an address of welcome. In his re- ply MT. Cahen said that he was happy to state that the grand encampment had formulated an address to the President and Secretary Alger commenting them for the successful conduct and happy termination of the late war with Spain.
 Certain papers and people," he said "have tried to beiittle or find fault with the conduct of the war while the crowned heads of Europe have looked on with wonder and amazement at the success of an army taken from the occupations of peace but few days before 1t was put into. the field. It Is a pity that men can be found in our own country who would try to belittle the acts of so successful an administration
 At the conclusion of his remarks MT. Cahen was cheered to the echo by the assembled veterans who felt the force of his remarks.
 Speeches were also made by c. Mason Kinne, Colonel Loper of the Fifty-first Iowa and many others, while the oc- casion was enlivened from time to time by selections from the Iowa band and cheers for Messrs. Cahen and Solomon.

LABOR COUNCIL MATTERS. Andrew Furuseth Denounces the Manufacturers and Producers
 Association.

Aside from doing a little dabbling in politics the greater part of the meeting of the Labor Council last evening was taken up in discussing ways of introduc ing the union label, and in this connec- ton the Manufacturers and Producers Association was characterized as "an or ganization composed wholly of men who neither manufacture nor produce, which has done more to injure California than the much-talked-of monopolies or any thing else.''
 It was stated by Andrew Furuseth that a Jew years ago, when labor unions were strong in the city, home manufacture was being boomed; a union man buying shoes made outside the State was fined $5; there was plenty of work and new Then,' he said this association took hand and made a concerted effort to break up every trades union in the city, Workingmen went back East; there was smaller consumption of goods and fac tories went to the wall, raising the cry cause of their failure was that the asso- oiatiop drove out the workingman and substituted cheap labor Our cry is and should always be the union first and Cali fornia second. l would sooner buy goods made in China bearing the union label than the same article in local sweat shop. A few years ago there were HOO cigar-makerS earning good wages in this city. Their union was weakened by the association, the men went East taking their families with them, and now there are but 300 in the city. This is what is manufacturers to the wall, and it will continue to do so, for trade once diverted from its channels seldom or never. comes back. The greedy merchants have made

VISIONS OF
 4 NEW BOOM
 IN COMSTOCK UnWatering Scheme Goes Ahead. MILLI0NAIRES IN CONTROL A PUMPING COMMITTEE TO BE
 APPOINTED. Mine superintendents Join in Recom- mending Action, Stock Brokers Feel Good and Assessments
 Are in Prospect.
A PUMPING COMMITTEE TO BE
 APPOINTED.

The reopening of the Comstock lode by the unwatering of the long submerged lower workings Is now being seriously considered by the principal share owners or those properties. There will be a meet Ing to-day of the joint committee, repre- resenting twenty-four Comstock mining companies, to consider the joint report of the mine superintendents submitted to the executive committee last Thursday. Further reports regarding the levels be- low the Sutro tunnel will be filed to-day. It is expected that pumping commit tee will be appointed to proceed with the enterprise in conjunction with the com mittee.
 The combined report of the superintend- ents filed the other day unqualiiedly rec ommends the carrying on of the work. Attention is called to the bodies of un- worked pay ore found between the depths of 1900 and 3300 feet before a sudden rush Of water, and a demand for dividends led 10 the abandonment of deep operations. It IS pointed out that the great width of the lode, about 600 feet, affords much room for prospecting in all the levels and instances of the unexpected striking of ponanzas at various levels of different mines in the upper workings are recalled
 The preliminary estimates of cost vary between $200 900 and $500 900, according to the scale of operations. The raising of this money is the main difficulty to be overcome.
 It is generally believed on the street that the fund must be raised by assess ment.. This will be used to start the pumping, and 1t is thought that a boom in Comstock shares would result, which could be so cultivated as to make the venture success. The finding of a bo- nanza or two would give the needed i'm petus.
 The agitation of the pumpin~ plan has already put some life In the market A week ago Con. Cal. & Va. was around the 25-cent point. It Is now S5 and has been to 94 cents. The leading operators think that if the enterprise is carried out it will again make San Francisco a great min ing stock market.
