OPENING WYOMING AVENUE.
Work Has Been Commenced by Don
ahue & O'Boyle.

The actual work of opening wyoming
avenue has been begun by Donahue IL
O'Boyle, who have been awarded the
contract They have q large gang OF
men at work and expect to be finished
in about two weeks.
AT the time the project of opening
this street was first brought up the
Delaware and Hudson company agreed
to remove its sidings from that pOr-
tion of the street to be opened. These
are the tracks which run along the
east side OF the Wyoming avenue
freight station. The company Is now
keeping it's bargain and the work OF
removing these tracks to the westerly
side Of the station has begun.
Select Councilman John F.. Roche,
who has been the father of all the
ordinances and resolutions connected
with the opening of this street, stated
yesterday TO q Tribune man that he
would not introduce any ordinances
providing for the pavement OF the
street or laying OF sidewalks until the
next fiscal year.
1t now appears that the viewers who
assessed the damages to all property
owners along the line of the improve
ment overlooked the property OF Ber-
nard Dolan, which faces Phelps street.
and which overlaps the portion being
opened just exactly thirty-four Inches.
The damages which he claims are be-
tween 81 200 and $1,000.

Waiting?
For what?

For what?
Simple as the question Is, one
would be safe i'm stalking dollars
for one honest answer, considered
from common-sense standpoint.
The world Is full of people who
are WAITING--waiting for some-
thing to turn up" So long have
their imaginations magnified their
desires that, with the great ma
jority. an aimless waiting has be-
come a fixed habit-a sort of
mania; and the dawning of Eter-
nity's morning will find many of
them still--waiting. A sad plight,
indeed.
Where or when have waiting
ways ever won success? Echo an
swers echo-"where, when?" No,
ACTION-steady action, alone, at
tains the advantage sought. Mat
ters not how small the deed; only
so it be constant in action--like
some of our weekly savers-and
success is assured.

Washington, August 2.-The state de-
partment has made public the following
eorrespondence between Ii Hung Chang
and the department regarding the aban-
donement of the campaign ON Pekin:
Telegram sent to the United States en-
bassis in Berlin. London, Paris, Rome
and st. Petersburg, and to the United
States minister to Toxic.
Department of State. Washington, Aug
ust. /, 1900:
I'm reply to a suggestion of Ii Hung
Chang that the ministers might be sent
under safe escort to Ten Tsin. provided
the powers would engage not to march
on Pekin, the secretary of state replied
on the 30th of July:
This government will not enter into
any arrangement regarding disposition or
treatment of legations without first hav-
ing communication with Minister Com
ger. Responsibility for their protection
rests upon Chinese government. Power
to deliver at Tien Tsin presupposed pow
er 70 protect and to open communication.
This is insisted on.
This message was delivered by Mr..
GoOdnOw on July 31st to the viceroy, who
then inquired whether, If free commune
cation was established between the min
listers and their governments. it could be
arranged that the powers should not ad-
vance on Pekin, pending negotiations.
ITO this inquiry the following reply
was sent on the first of August:
/" GOodnoW, Consul General Shaghai:
do not think is expedient to submit the
proposition of Earl LII to the powers.
Free communication with our represen-
tatives in Pekin is demanded as a matter
of absolute right and not as a favor.

that 1t possesses the Dower to give COM

Seattle, Wash, August 2.-The Times
says: The first serious trouble between
the military and the prospectors in the
north this year resulted in the arrest of
over 100 miners who went to Topkuk, about
50 miles south Of Nome City. The men had
been forced to quit work on the Topknk
beach by the authorities several days be-
fore, but the ground had proven 10 he rich
and they went back to work again.
Ten of the prisoners were brought 10
Nome on July 20 and rele Used on bonds.
The clash occurred on Juiv II. About a
week before a hundred miners were forced
to quit work on the beach at Topkuk by
soldiers that we're landed from the United:
States transport Seward. Soldiers were
regularly detailed day and night to guard
the cliff from being torn away by the
miners who were only too eager to get at
the rich pay streak, which was already
uncovered for a width of several hundred
feet. Under the conditions of suspension
Of work the miners were allowed to work
their dumps, which was pretty nearly COM
the miners had a consultation and deter
mined to defy Uncle Sam and return to
work.
The soldiers were all mustered out on the
beach and with bayonets fixed attempted
to force the men to leave, but not man
stirred A parley ensued, with the result
that or miners submitted to be arrested
ana were put under guard. Others quickly
took the places of the arrested ones and
were IN turn themselves arrested until
the soldiers have now more than they can
attend to.
A perplexing problem now is how to feed
and house the arrested miners. If they are
not fed, the soldiers are in danger Il being
overpowered until relieved by the revenue
cutters or transports
This trouble is the elimination of a con-
test of creek claimants of No /, of which
there are two factions. One faction

WOMAN Of BLOOD
LUCY PARSONS STILL AFTER
NoToRIETY- GLoRIEs IN
ANARCHY AND CRIME.

Chicago, August 2.--The Tribune says
According to Mrs. Lucy Parsons, an in
ternational congress of anarchists will
be held In Paris next month. The an-
archists Of Chicago will meet locally r.ext
Sunday to express their approval cf the
removal Of King Humbert and incident
ally viii consider the preparation for the
coming worlds congress. This intorr.a
tion was obtained from Mrs. Parsons in
an. interview last evening. The congress,
according to Mrs. Persons, has beer
called by the heads Of the anarchist q :
ganizations in the different countries OF
Europe and In America and will be at
tended by representatives from every
an organization. Ams.'ica will send only
one representative. A New York teacht {
who is native of Switzerland but who
speaks French has been chosen 70 go.
What is the purpose of the congress?'' ?''
said Mrs. Parsons, repeating the ques-
tion nut to her.
ITO map out plan of achon for the
anarchists of the world, to bring the fol
lowers of anarchy into closer touch and
to perfect a world wide organization"
And doesn't that mean that the anar-
chists will plan fresh outbreaks?"
Mrs. Parsons black eyes snapped, but
she ignored the question until it was re-
heated, when she said:
'It seems to me that they are pretty
active now"
Mrs. Parsons scouts the stories of a
plot to kill King Humbert. She said:
'.I3ressi was a militant anarchist. There
are militant and philosophical anarchists.
The latter are agitators and teachers and
believe in organization. The former will
NOT belong to any organization but be-
lieye IN action; each one acts independ-
emily and in his own way. Bressi did not
even tell his wife of his Intentions"

"A force of American Chinese with

There are in THE United States about
