Action Taken Regarding the Chicago
Federal Building.


Federal Building.
There will be no ceremonies attending
the laying of the corner stone of the new
federal building in Chicago, October 9, as
deliberately planned. In fact, the corner
stone will not be laid on that day, but
postponed until some future time, when
the element of politics will not be a factor.
There is some interesting history con-
nected with the laying of the corner stone.
1t was over a year ago that the idea first
presented itself. At that time some repub-
lcan politicians had visited Chicago and
witnessed the monster parade of the work
ingmen on Labor day. 1t was thought to
be good politics to rally such gathering
again, and the laying of the corner stone
of the big federal building, said to be in
design the handsomest public building out
side of Washington, was the excuse. Then
came strikes and threatened dssatsfac-
ton among the labor organizations. The
President without his knowledge or con-
sent, was elected an honorary member of
several labor organizations. and it was all
arranged, it Is said, to present him with
certificates of membership soon as he
arrived, and then If he participated in the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone to
boycott him and his administration because
of his association with 'scab labor it be
ing understood that non-unon men were
working on the new building.
The middle assumed nasty aspect when
it claimed that prominent labor
leader offered for 5000 cash to declare the
proposed strike off. The dissatisfaction of
the labor organizations eliminated on Mr..
Truax, who had been selected as one of the
managers of the ceremonies of laying the
corner stone This morning this situation
was disposed of by the receipt of a tele
gram from one of the prominent labor
leaders announcing that the labor unions
would have nothing to do with the cut
ting, laying or other ceremonies attending
the celebration unless Mr.. TruaX resigned.
A telegram was Immediately sent Mr..
Truax, and shortly afterward a reply came
announcing his willingness to resign.
But even this will not make the laying
of the corner stone possibility. The pur-
pose of the politicians to drag the PreSi-
dent into the quarrel has resulted in the
action to the effect that the architect of
the treasury has Indefinitely postponed the
laying Of the corner stone.

RAPIDLY INCREASING.
Over $1,000 Received for the Dewey
Home Fund Since Yesterdny.

Chairman Vanderlip and Treasurer Rob-
erts of the Dewey home fund are highly
pleased with the enthusiastic response which
has been made to the final appeal for contri-
buttons. kilograms received from all direc-
tlcns today indicated that the wealthy peo-
pie of the country will not permit the fund
to be too small and there are now hopes
that before the week is out $4,000 or
$4,000 will have been subscribed.
The contributions since yesterday after
noon amount to more than 5000, making
total of 1885,. The leading contribu-
tors today were Mrs. Westinghouse of this
city, s.. 600; Senator James Mcmillan $500:

of the man whom the entire nation is proud
to honor.
Very little surprise was expressed at the
Navy Department over the arrival of the
Olympia before her scheduled time. One
of the officers on duty in the department
remarked dryly that Dewey had habit of
surprising people, and he had simply sur
prsed the New Workers, coming into port
quietly. just he had surprised the people
of Manila when he went in on that May
Day. Admiral Barker who is about start
III for New York to welcome Dewey,
among other officials, explained that it
was undoubtedly necessary for Capt. Lam
berton, commanding the Olympia. to have
at least a full free day to clean up his
ship. 1t should be remembered, he said
that the Olympia had been on an unusually
long cruise, and it was no light task to re-
pair the ragages Of the sea and put the big
white cruiser into the apple-pie order which
will be required in order that she may pass
muster under the keen and critical eyes Of
the many naval men who will be among
the throng of visitors expected. That kind
Of work. involving holy stonin, and washing
and securing, cannot be done well with peo-
pie from shore coming aboard either, so 1t
was wise on the part of the Olympia com
mander to put into the harbor when he was
least expected.
Another consideration that had weight
according to the judgment of many officers.
The equinoctial storms are now to be ex-
pected at any moment, and it was the part
of prudence for a commander to avoid the
low sandy shores of New Jersey just now.
1t was calculated at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday that the Olympia was at
noon somewhere in the triangle formed by
the Jersey capes and the eastern end of
Long Island, place favorable for escap
ing observation from incoming vessels.
But 1t was also apprehended that the ship
could not lie out there In the present threat
ening weather. In summer she could have
dropped anchor anywhere in soundings and
have been safe: but to lie out over night
at this season might result in losing the
ground tackle and being obliged to make
for the open sea and deep water at short
notice.
How would the people of New York like
to have had Dewey day late?" asked an
officer, who pointed out the impossibiity
of the attempt Of trying to run ship
like a railroad train, schedule time.

DEATH OF ELEANOR sIGsBEE.
Little Daughter of Capt. Charles ID.
SiEsbee Expires Suddenly.

Eleanor Sigsbee, the thirteen-year-
daughter of Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee of
the navy and Mrs. E. r. Sigsbee, died sud-
denly yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at
Rehoboth Del, where the family was
spending the last weeks of the summer.
Death was due to heart disease. with which
the little girl had been more or less affect
ed since her serious illness of many weeks
in Washington last winter
The remains were brought to Washington
this afternoon, arriving at the Balti more
and Ohio depot at 40 o'clock. Accom-
panying them were Mrs Sigsbee. Mrs. Bal
four Kerr. Miss Ethel Sigsbee and Master
Charles ID. Sigsbee, jr., members OF the
immediate family. They were met at the
depot by Capt. Sigsbee. who came on TO
Washington from New York late last
night. Mrs. S. L. w. Kittelle. Capt. Sigs-
bees eldest daughter. arrived later.
Arrangements have been made for the
funeral services, tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, to be held at the residence of Com
mander Peck of the navy, 2725 P street.
The nterment will be made at Annapolis.
The funeral party will leave for that place
shortly after noon.
Little Eleanor had never fully recovered
from her last winters Illness She left
Washington with the family June 1 last,
spending a greater part of the summer
at jamestown. R. 1. Later the members of
the family proceeded to Rehoboth, Della
ware. where they stopped with Mrs. Caro-
line Rittenhouse, Eleanor's aunt. There
she seemed to improve rapidly and was
so much better, seemingly, that 1t had
been determined to return to Washington
yesterday. Sunday night, however, the
child complained of not feeling well, and
later she suffered greatly. having much
difficulty in breathing. DR.. Kittenger Of
Wilmington was summoned, but all efforts
to stay the progress of the disease failed.
Eleanor was an exceptionally bright and
pretty child, and in her death the parents
have suffered an incalculable loss, and they
are deeply grief stricken. Capt. Sigsbee
heard the news yesterday afternoon while
in command of his ship, the L. S. S. Texas.
lying off Tompkinsville, Staten Island. He
at once secured leave from Admiral Samp-
son and came to Washington. Both
the captain and Mrs. Sigsbee We're devoted
to their little daughter, she being the
youngest child. Her sisters and brother
also held her in the deepest affection.

SOMEBODY BETRAYED.
Was II Senator Wellington or the
Republican Party:

After the adjournment of the republican
state central committee of Maryland in
Baltimore yesterday the executive commit
tee held meeting and arranged Tor the I'M
mediate opening of the campaign. Head
quarters were established at the Eutaw
House and campaign committee, to be
selected by the chairman, decided on
A gentleman familiar with the state said
TODAY: 1.-The affair in Maryland marks the
passing of Geo. L. Wellington.
1.-The senator has washed his hands of the
Maryland campaign, and in a speech re-
signing the Craftsmanship of the republican
state central committee yesterday ne
charged that he had been betrayed by about
every body, and if there were any hard
things he did not say about Governor
Lowndes it was owing to the necessity. and
hard one for the senator, OF refrain1nS
from profanity.
ITO the casual observer 1t would look as
if the party betrayed was not Senator
Wellington, but the republican party. the
candidates on the ticket and the gentle
men in Baltimore who were to be the large
contributors to the campaign fund had
agreed on certain methods of handling
the funds and the campaign. They We're
the ones most Interested in success and
who had the most at stake The state
committee before 1t elected chairman
adopted resolutions in line with these
wishes and Senator Wellington support
ed them on the floor. AfterWard Senator
Wellington was elected chairman of the
committee. If he had objected to the re-
strictions thrown around the office he need
not have accepted it. He did accept it.
however, and made a speech pledging party
success.
Two hours afterward he pouring
out denunciatons of the party, the candi-
dates and the high heavens for betraying
him by action taken before he was
made chairman. The course smells Of
treason. 1t has all the appearance of Sen
ator Wellington having accepted post of
trust in order that treason might be more
effective. The treason of Benedict Arnold,
the man. would have been unimpor 'ant;
the treason of Gen. Arnold would have
been merely startling, but the treason of
Gen Arnold, commander of West Point
might have been disastrous. In the same
way the treason of George Wellington
would have disturbed no one; the treason
of Senator Wellington would have created
a sensation, while the treason of Yelling
ton chairman of the state committee.
might have meant ruin. That Arnold fall
ed was not his fault and the same can be
said of Wellington"
