VENUS CONSPICUOUS.
Beautiful Planet Becoming Brilliant in
the Evening.

Madison, July 2.
Interesting astronomical data for
July are furnished by the Washburn
observatory Mercury has ceased to
be visible as an evening star and will
pass through inferior conjunction July
18th. After this date it will rise be-
fore the sun and may be seen as a
morning star the last week of the pres
ent month as the planet approaches
greatest elongation west. Venus is
becoming conspicuous as the brilliant
evening star. The planet may be seen
low in the northwestern sky after sun
fset and it sets at nearly the same
point Of the horizon as the sun. Mars
is past its favorable season for obser-
walton but the planet is still visible
in the evening as it sinks towards the
west point of the horizon. The most
conspicuous planet at the present time
is Jupiter, which appears brilliant
star in the southeastern sky in the
early evening and reaches the merid-
ian far south sometime before mid
night. The planet is followed by the
next largest member Of the solar sys-
tenn, Saturn, with Mars a bright star
east and a little north of Jupiter and
far less brilliant
The times of sunrise and sunset for
the month are as follows: Sunrise,
July 1, APP a. M; July 18th, 4:28 a.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 2-As a result
of the refusal of the representatives Of
the American Steel Sheet company and
American Steel Hoop company (sub-
sidiary companies of the great United
States steel corporation) to sign work
ers' new scale, circulars were sent out
from national headquarters of the
Amalagmated association of iron,
steel and tin workers yesterday declar-
ing a strike at all plants of the two
companies. 1t will be several days be
fore the actual extent is known, but at
the outset over $4,000 men will be in
volved Almost all plants of the com
bine, union and non-union, will be COM
PEELED to shut down during the early
part of July to give the men a rest
and it will De after, perhaps August
LIST, when the combine makes serious
attempt to start up in full. Then the
real battle will begin if no settlement
mas been reached.
Added interest was given the strike
situation wnen it became known that
the two mills in the dispute, which
were the cause of the disagreement be-
tween the Amalgamated association
and American Sheet Steel company
were claimed by both parties. These
mills are the Old Meadows at Scott
dale and the Salisbury mill. The off
Gals who refused to sign the union
scale seemed as much surprised at
the claims of President Shaffer that the
mills were union as the president
seemed to that they should take an
opposite view from his.
The sheet steel officials appeared to
have trifie the better Of the argument
when word came from Scottdale that
the men now working there refused tC
quit, scale or no scale.
The rumor that President SchWab d
the United States Steel corporation
might be asked to come to Pittsbure
and settle the trouble now pending
caused some little discussion but botf
Secretary Jarrett and President Shat
fer denied there was any need of his
services.

constitutional provision This con-
time when the internal development of
the state was being encouraged, not
only by federal, but such attempted
state aid, and it was placed IN the
constitution for the purpose of pre-
venting any favored locality in the
state from receiving large state aid
and thereby prospecting at the expense
Of the balance of the state. There is
no question but that the low lands
along the Fox and Wisconsin rivers
would be greatly benefited and their
value greatly enhanced by the ex-
penditure of this appropriation, but
the appropriation is from the general
fund of the state, and not from any
grant or special fund that is given or
set apart in any way for the purpose
of benefting specific localities. The
effect of this act, the locality for the
expenditure of the money, the result
| OF the Improvement thereby created,
must all be considered in the ,;ght of
the known facts, and the conclusion is
Irresistible that this is fragrant viola.
ton of the constitutional provision.
''The question of the validity of this
act is not now raised for the first time
An intelligent suspicion has followed
it from its inception and accompanied
it through it's entire legislative career
down to the last official act. The ap
preparation is sufficiently large and
the principle involved is sufficiently
important to entitle the act to be SUD
mitted for the purpose Of judicial de-
termination, provided the parties ben
Gifted have sufficient interest in sus
tanning it.
II therefore conclude and advise
you that the act is unconstitutional
and void and forms no warrant for she
official expenditure of funds there
under, and that you should decline tc
audit any accounts and disburse the
money. If you decide to be guided BY
this opinion I consider it very deslr
able that you Immediately notify the
governor, the commissioners, if they
have been appointed, and other parties
who may be interested, of your deci
sion, in order that no expense may be
incurred nor obligation contracted un
til such time as persons who are hen
eficially affected by this Legislation
may have an opportunity to presen
the matter, if they choose, to the cour
for judicial determination"

PORTAGE LEVEE
SUFFERS SETBACK
ATTORNEY GENERAL ADVISES
TREASURER TO HOLD MONEY.
DECLARES ACT INVALID
Renders Opinion Which Says LegisIa-
ture Violated the Constitution in
Appropriating $4,000 for Internal
improvements Affecting Columbia
County and Fox River Districts.
Madison, July 2

| MdulSOu, july 4.
The much needed improvements in
the levees of the Wisconsin river, for
which the citizens of Portage and
columbia county pleaded so earnestly
before the committee on state affairs
at the last session of the legislature,
may not be made, at least, not imme-
diately. Yesterday, at the request of
Secretary of State Froehlich, the attor-
ney general gave out an opinion upon
the constitutionality OF the act appro-
priating $4,000 out of the general
fund for the purpose of repairing and
extending the entertainments of the
| Wisconsin river in the ne1ghbCrhOod
of Portage. In the opinion Attorney
General Hicks declares the act in
question to be clearly in violation of
the constitution. He advises the sec
rotary of state to audit no accounts
under this act as the law, he says,
forms no warrant for the official ex-
penditure of funds hereunder.
A commission had already been ap-
pointed and work was about to be be-
run on the surveying for the levees.
| The commissioners are J. E. Jones,
| Byron Kinnear and J. S. Towers, all
of Portage. Prof. L. S. Smith, who
was appointed by the commission as
chief engineer, left for Portage
yesterday. He has been over the
ground and has said that the appro-
priation was inadequate to accom-
plish the desired end to make life
and property in the Fox river valley
safe. Following the opinion Of the
| law officer of the commonwealth, it is
not likely the secretary Of state will
audit the account.
After reviewing the provisions of
| the law the attorney general in his
opinion says: "The title of the act
declares that it relates to the levee
Of the city of Portage and vicinity,
and makes an appropriation therefor,
for the purpose of protecting the
lives and property of the citizens of
the state Of Wisconsin. Such declara-
! ton found in the title must be clearly
sustained in the text of the law, in or
| der to evade the constitutional provi-
sion found in section 10 of article
VIII of the state constitution, which
provides that the state shall never
contract any debt for works Of inter
nal improvement or be party to car
rying on such works. This language
of the constitution is positive, simple
and distinct, and must not be nullified
by subterfuge nor evasion. A simple
declaration of the purpose of the law
in it's title cannot be regarded as con-
trolling, if the text of the statute clear
ly and palpably violates the constitu-
tional provision. The legislature may
not, by indirection, do that which it is
positively prohibited from directly &C
comprising. However praiseworthy
may be it's object and however great
the benefits to the locality, the legis-
lature cannot rest upon such consider
ations, if it is clearly in violation of

Madison, July z.
Tobacco hefeabouts has been dam
aged to the extent of over 100000 oy
the hot weather. and unless there is a
very late fall to permit the maturing
of the replanted crop very much
heavier loss will result. About Madi-
son no good rain has fallen for a long
time, but in Vernon and Crawford
counties there was a drenching shower
Wednesday. AS Dane and Rock coun-
ties produce a third of the crop in the
state serious shortage here will
probably result in an advance in price.
Milford Pelton of the tobacco firm
of Pelton e Klauber said last night
that the crop had been seriously dam
aged by the heat, and that the sun
had probably burned up one-fourth Of
the planting in Dane and Rock coun.
ties While it is possible to reset the
plants the crop will not turn out good
and may be total loss.
About 100000 cases of tobacco, val
ued at $50 each were raised in the
state last year, said Mr.. Pelton. OF
this 10000 cases came from Dane aud
Rock counties. This year the acre
age in tobacco is even larger; that is
the expected crop was valued at more
than $1,2O0,000 in the two counties
If, as Mr.. Pelton estimates, one-fourtf
has been destroyed the loss will ag
gregate over 100000. Rain would be
a great aid yet, but most of the dam
age is already done.
