State Laborer Commissioner.

A particularly favorable showing is
made by the work accomplished by the
labor department during the past two
years under Labor Commissioner Nc
Hale.
Under the present administration, the
work Of the department has been deyot-
ed to the practical problem of inspecting
the factories, mills and mines of the
state, correcting abuses wherever such
were found, and promoting the interests
of employer and employe alike. All fac
tories and other industries employing Ia
Dor in all the principal cities and towns
IN the state were carefully inspected.
During '99 the Twin Cities were inspect
ed twice and the smaller towns once.
and during the present year all the cities
and towns of the state were inspected
once.
In SO there were 4,300 inspections
involving $4,000 employees; in 1900 there
were Ball inspections involving 91,914
employees. All the factories were inspect.
ed by men specially qualified Tor tins
work, the question of child labor was
carefully investigated as well as the san
| itary conditions and the enforcement OF
laws providing for the safety Of work,
| ingmel. Wherever labor laws were VIC.
lated, sufficient safeguards or sanitary
conditions neglected, orders were issued
at once and insisted upon. Some SOC
such orders were issued and in 95 pei
cent of the cases were carried out imme-
diately. Among other things, sixty-foul
fire escapes were caused to be erected
| Accurate statistics concerning Sunday
labor, child labor, and wages were Sc.
cured and will be of great value for fu.
ture comparison.
Accidents, both minor and fatal, on
| railroads, in factories and mines were
very carefully Investigated, their causes
determined and where possible, removed
to prevent recurrence. The labor organ
izations of the state were, also investi.
gated and a directory issued, giving the
various organizations, their cost and ben.
efts, and other details
In this work Labor G Commissioner Nc.
Hale was ably seconded BY Assistan,

Lind and sets up a standard of efficienc,
which no future incumbent can ignore

THE POPULAR VOTE PLAN.
Some of the Objections in Changing the Tanner
of Eiecting the President.

The election was held month ago,
but the official figures from some of the
states on the popular vote are not yet at
hand. This circumstance furnishes a
powerful objection to the project adj
vanced almost constantly by some per-
sons to abolish the electoral college and
have presidents and vice presidents chos-
en- by direct vote Of the people. Near
" all the populists, many of the demo
crats, and some of the republicans want
this change. Possibly the change may
come some day. A similar change to .

A Freak of Nature.

Probably few people ever heard Of a
soda dam, but such freak of nature
really exists IN an unfrequented part of
the great West, says the Washington
Star. A. 0. Wright, of the Indian serv-
ice, who travels extensively through
that section of the country west of the
| Mississippi river, in speaking Of strange
things he has encountered in his tours,
| alluded to the soda dam. Asked what
he meant by a soda dam, he said:
'sIn Box canyon, just above the hot
springs Of the James river, Arizona, is a
dam extending from one wall of the
gorge to the other. This dam is nothing
more or less than massive wall of
pure soda, rising to height of 100 feet,
and probably 600 feet from end to end.
Natures forces of course, started their
work of construction, away back in the
dim and distant past, when deposits of

THE SIITEEN-INCH Gun.

fnr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.l

Washington. June l3-Army officers chagrined
over the announcement made by the Bureau OF ord
nance to-day Of It's inability to send the great 10
inch rifle to the Buffalo Exposition. Various ex-
given for the failure Of the bureau 10 keep
its promises TO the War Department authorities
and to the exposition management to make this
monster weapon a feature in the army display. the
chief OF them being the impossblhty or providing
a mount for the gun for several months. This con-
fession or the incomplete condition Of the gun,
which has been exciting Inc pride of the service
for the last years is particularly humiating 10
artillerymen whose corps has just received such
substantial recognition from Congress and the
country. Watervet Arsenal has been building this
gun since 1897 appropriations having been made
the year before the estimates prepared in 1881.
1t has therefore been actually four years under
construction, and. although the cost is given
only s25001o. that amount barely material,
and its real cost to date probably exceeds 100000.
This expenditure, which is worthless until car
riaGe can be built, compares most unfavoraby with
similar work done I'm private shops. notably with
the performance of the Bethlehem company in max
ing the ls-nch Gathmann gun. This gun is much
larger than the famous piece of army ordnance, its
proJectile having the same weight. 1000 pounds.
and the muzzle velocity in each being 200
feet second Tho Gathmann gun was completed
and fired in six months from the date Of contract.
and il cost S35 600
There is settled conviction in the military ser
vice that the l6-inch will never leave the gov
ernment ordnance foundry a Watervliet. Its de-
sign has already been supplanted by weapons OF
superior pattern, and the original intention of
building eighteen Ike II has long been aban-
