| MAY DELAY TRANSPORTS
Government Agents at Frisco Facing Trou-
blesome Situation.
Painters and Boiler Makers Beth
Make What is Considered I'm.
reasonable Demands.

SAN FRANCISCO. September 1s.-There
are prospects of difficulties ahead for the
transport service. A threatened strike of
the painters Is one source of trouble for
the government, and it Is more than pos
sible that the boilermakers to be employed
on the repair work of the steamer Glen
ogle viii! refuse to go to work on the trans
port tomorrow.
The painters union has intmated that a
demand would be made on the government
that all painters employed on transport
ships be paid S day and that eight hours
constitute a days work. In addition to
this is a demand that no man who is not
qualified to mix paint be employed There
is likely to be split on all demands. The
government takes the stand that any man
who can paint should be given an oppor-
tunity of going to work. 1t was said in the
transport dock that if there should be a
strike on this mead a requisition might be
made to have soldiers do the painting work.
The Glenogle is to be taken in hand to-
morrow and her boilers are to be over
hauled. and SO great Is the demand for her
that the work will have to be carried on
day and night.
The boilermakers have demanded ten
hours pay for eight hours work for the
given reason that the work is much more
complicated than that in the shops.
For night work of eleven hours duration
they demand twenty-six hours pay. There
will be a hitch in this. On the transport
Centennial a similar demand was made.
and the boiermakers carried their point.

ADDS TO HIS COLLECTION
Mr.. VIM. B. Smiths Acquisitions While
Recently in Scotland.
Valuable Additions to Burnsiana-
His Visit to the Home of
Andrew Carnegie.

Mr.. VIM r. Smith, superintendent of the
Botanical Garden. lately made trip to
Scotland, where he succeeded in securing
valuable additions to his collection of
Burnsiana. and where he visited Mr.. An
Grew Carnegie at his home at Skibo Castle.
While abroad he presented to the Mitchell
Library at Glasgow about 1000 volumes
and pamphlets, mostly American editions.
In exchange for these the Mitchell Library
gave Mr.. Smith at least 100 volumes, in
Guiding thirteen editions of Burns works,
for his collection.
He bought about seventy-f1ve volumes so
that his collection of 1900 volumes of
Burnsiana is now enlarged so that the
number is nearly 900.
while Mr. Smiths valuable Burnsiana
VIII go to the Pittsburg library. he has
about LOCO volun es, mostly rare works on
horticulture, which he proposes to give to
the public library of this city when he has
no more use for them The additions to
ms collection of Burnsiana made In Scot
iand are nearly all of books that are "out
OF the market" and exceedingly difficult to
get.
Mr.. Smith spent several DAYS at Skibo
sastie, Ambassador and Mrs. Choate being
Nr. carnegie guests at the same time
He talked with the crofters on the place of
Whom there are some 200. and found them
to be greatly pleased with their American
landlord, who is doing considerable to i'm
prove their condition. Mr.. Smith drove
twenty-one miles in direct line without
gong on Mr.. Carnegfe's place, and was
surprised at the splendid timber and fertile
soil there. The place is an ideal one for a
summer home, having the advantages of a
braclng climate. magnificent scenery, and
everything that is supposed to make life
worth living
Mr.. Carnegie expressed great interest in
the building of large public library for
tbs city and was pleased that fine a
site as that afforded by Mt Vernon Square
had been selected for the building for
which he has donated the construction
fund.

CHICAGO, September 1s.-Chicago will

Governor Stone, ]. G. johnson, J. NJ. Head
Of Tennessee, George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts. J. NJ. Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania and ]. B. O'Brien of Minneapolis.
I'VE discussed some plans for the organi-
cation of our forces for effective work,
said Ex-Governor Stone in speaking of the
meeting. But as yet they are so chaotic
that account of them would not enlight-
en- the public. 1t was decided that the
members of the executive committee meet
in Chicago every sixty days to confer with
Mr.. Johnson and, to aid him in carrying
out our plans"
The ways and means committee was
called together during the afternoon by
Chairman John r. Mclean, and the impor
tant matter of financing the campaign was
discussed. The press committee was also
convened by Mr.. Johnson. and plans look
ing to the effectiveness of that committee
We're discussed.
Mr. johnson and c. A. Walsh were the
only members present but ex-Gov. Stone
held the proxies of Messrs Troup of Con-

mittee were not disposed to discuss prob
abilities, though the majority of inquirers
We're interested in the question of the dis
position to be made of Press Agent P j..

1t is thought probable that the press ar

a degree. using the attitude of the local
papers during the last campaign as a basis
for reorganization.

SUBMITS HIS ESTIMATES
General Harries Details the Needs of the
Local Militia.
The Several Amounts Asked for Ag-
gregate $53.975 - Fund for
Pay of Troops.

Gen. George II. Harries, commanding the
District militia. has forwarded to the Com
missioners an estimate of the amount OF
money required for the ensuing fiscal year
to pay the expenses authorized to be in
CURED by the militia. General Harres
calls attention to the fact that the esti-
mates for the land and naval forces have
been consolidated. being separate last year
because the work of organization had not
been completed.
The estimates are as follows:
For rent fuel, light, care and repair of
armores and practice ships, and telephone
service, $14.475.
For lockers, furniture and gymnastic ap-
paratus for armories, $40
For printing and stationery, $500
For cleaning and repairing uniforms,
arms and equipments and contingent ex-
penses, 200
For custodian in charge of United States
property and store rooms, $500.
For expenses of drills and parades, $1,000.
For expenses of rifle practice and match
es, $4,000.
For expenses of camps of instruction and
practice marches and practice cruises, S14,-
600
For general incidental expenses of the
service. $500.
For pay of troops, to be disbursed under
the direction of the commanding general
$1,000.
The Increases.
The total amount of the estimates reaches
S53915, and General Harries explains that
only two increases have been made, one of
$ioo additional in expense of camps of in
struction. practice marches and practice
cruises, the allowance of $1.1OO for practice
cruises of the naval battalion says the
general, having proved to be insufficient
Speaking of the new feature of the eSti-
matees. For pay of troops, $780," Gen
eral Harries says:
1T is the righteous custom of the states
and territories to pay their respective
troops when on duty, and this, strangely
enough, has never been done in the District
of Columbia In many of the states the
rate of pay is 50 per day for each enlisted
man. with a corresponding increase through
the various grades of commissioned Off
GERS. The expenditures thus entailed, while
entirely UNSUITABLE, have been large The
proposition now presented looks to a COM
paratiVely small expenditure and the
achievement of valuable results.
Per Diem Rate Suggested.
Instead of paying the officers and men
for the time actually on duty, it is deemed
this will give more complete organization
control throughout the entire year. pri-
vate soldier serving faithfully for twelve
months will receive the sum of S1Og5 Or
dinarily he is called upon for about twelve
days OF duty in each year, 50 he would re-
ceive as partial compensation for the ex-
pendlture OF valuable time and energy in
the pubic service less than 81 per day.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT.
Osborne Hunter and Grace Scott Ar
raiEned in Court.

Osborne Hunter and Grace Scott were
placed on trial this afternoon on the charge
of assaulting Randolph Fortune on T street
northwest Saturday afternoon. The state
ment made by Fortune was that without
any provocation Hunter and the girl at
tackled him and that while Hunter held
gun pointed at Fortune Miss Scott cut him
over the head a number of times with a
whip.
The charges We're admitted, but the de-
PENDANTS claimed justification because For
tune had, it was alleged, circulated reports
about the girls character. Hunter took
part in the assault because it was stated
he is now paying his addresses to Miss
Scott.
On cross-examination Fortune said that
Friday last, while ON a visit to the pension
office, he was cornered by Hunter. who
told him he had a good mind to cut For
tunes throat from ear to ear.
Mrs. Lizzie Robinson said she saw Hun
ter aiming gun at Fortune, compelling
him to stand while Grace struck him with
a whip.
Similar testimony was given by several
witnesses.
Osborne Hunter, one Of the defendants,
said his reason for threatening to cut For
tune Friday last was because the latter
had struck him on the shoulder with a cane
pEluHc dpOlCSlZeu, Hunter SdlQ ana the
matter was dropped. Pretty soon. however,
Fortune began to talk to him about Miss
Scott, and this made him very angry. For
tune told him, he said, that Miss Scott was
not good enough to be his OIunter's wife,
they being engaged to be married, and then
went to Miss SCOTS father and told him
that Hunter was not fit to be his daugh-
ter's husband.
Hunter admitted that he and Miss Scott
agreed to horsewhip Fortune and that he
got gun for himself and whip for her
and the assault on Fortune followed
In reply to questions from Mr. Padgett
her counsel, Miss Scott said she was at one
time engaged to be married to Mr. For
tune, but she, learning that he was already
married, discarded him. Notwfthstand-
ing this action on her part, he continually
annoyed her, and through him she lost a
good-paying position.
Miss SCOTS father said he found ont
about two and a half years ago that For
tunes wife was still living, and he kicked
fortune out of doors and put a mark on his
face which he kept for ten days
Fortune was recalled to the stand, and he
Scotts father kicked him out of doors. He
further declared that in response to a letter
received from Miss Scott he met her at
Chevy Chase during the month of August

friendship for her, and asked him to for
give her for all she had done to him

WILL NOT SAIL TO NEW YORK;
Admiral HOwison May Take His Ship
TO Norfolk.

1t is confidently asserted at the Navy
Department that no conflict Of authority
with respect to the Dewey naval demon
stration at New York is likely to arise on
account of the return to the United States
OF Rear Admiral Howson ON the Chicago.
1t Is understood that the possibility af
complications will be avoided by changing
the destination of the Chicago, so that
instead of going to New York, as original
ly intended she will proceed to some other
port. most probably Norfolk That vessel
is now at Barbados and will start for
home in a day or two. If her orders are
not changed she will arrive at New York
in time to participate in the Dewey dem
onstration on the 10Th and Both instances.
The sending of the Chicago TO Norfolk
instead of New York will not prevent Ad-
miral Howiaon from going to New York,
however, in unofficial capacity, but it
will leave Rear Admiral Sampson in undis-
puted and undivided command of the as
sembled naval fleets at New York.
