YIELDS TO UNIONS.
House Votes to Iiss Ships Built At Navy
Yards Eight Hour Day Issus.

Washington, May 24.--The house Of
representatives almost completely sur
rendered to the demands Of labor in
teresta in providing that one ship OF
each kind shall be built in the govern
ment navy yards. Appeals Of organiEa-
tions have been pouring In upon con-
gress In the way Of petitions ever since
the beginning Of this session. 1t
would seem that nearly every labor
organization In the country sent each
member Of congress q separate petition,
asking that ships Of the navy be built
in government yardg The object Of
this was plain. The unions insist that
whenever labor is employed on such
shfpR the government standard Of eight
hours shall prevail. The house adopt
ed this amendment, In spite Of the as
sertion that the cost would be q greaa
deal more and that IL was doubtful If
the chips would be as good.
Another great victory for the labor
i hAA6 AHOChOSbS was tiAC panrdkc VI tHo
house bill providing that all work en-
tering the government contracts should
be performed by labor employed bmt
eight hours. II the bill should pass
the senate in its present shape it
would mean that labor on the ships
that are not built in government yards,
as we'll as that on any other work
which is TO become government proper
ty, must be performed on the eight
hour schedule. Just how far-reaching
this legislation will be depends upon
the construction which executive Off
cials Of the government give the law
when it is finally enacted. Some say
that it would enter into every piece Of
steel or stone used in government
building and every bit of iron or steel
in ship. 1t is move in the direction
of eight hours, and the laboring organ
izations believe if they can get this leg
islation enforced, that with the threat
of compelling the building of more ships
in government yards they have practi-
cally won the eight hour fight through
out the country.

The Iowa State Agricultural College at

were selected from a herd that had been

practical value to the horse breeders in the
middle west.
Several years ago, when horses were
bringing such low price, an experiment
was undertaken to determine the qualities
and value of, western range-bred horses,

der Iowa farm conditions. At that time
horses in the west were selling at low as

Ames secured carload Of well-bred colts
from the ranges of Wyoming and Montana
The colts were carefully selected in regard
to both good breeding and individual excel
lence. The experiment proved very salts

Those persons who went out to the corner

afternoon and last night for the purpose
Of witnessing the performance of Norris &
Rowes trained animals were compelled to
return home without having seen the ex-
hibition. Instead they saw the employees
making preparations for the departure of
the show from the city, and it all came
about because the District authorities had
revoked the permit which they hSd grant
ed at 50 per day and informed the show
managers that they would have to pay a
circus license of $500 a day.
Even if they had paid the latter tax it
would have been impossible for a PERFORM
ance to have been given at the corner of
18th ana L streets, because 1t was nec-ssar
to secure consent of 10 per cent of the
residents in the immediate vicinity of the

bition a the circus grounds 18th and D

do, so II was stated by a representative of

party who had charge of the grounds, ow-
ing to his absence from the city.

ties notified them that they would have to

THE LAUNCH MERCEDES.
Boat With History in Use on the
Potomac

One of the finest steam launches in use
on the Potomac is the launch Mercedes of
the fleet of the quartermasi>rs department,
L. S. A, and detailed for service as the
pleasure launch of the officials of the war
Department. tne is berthed at the harbor
police boats wharf, and under Capt. Car
penter and Engineer Michael Dugan is kept
ready for service at all times She has
during the past summer carried many of
the leading officials of the government on
pleasure excursions, and all praise the
beautiful little boat.
The Mercedes has a history. Built in
England for the Spanish government, she
was made tender of the Spanish warship
Relna Mercedes, and when that vessel was
captured the launch fell into the hands of
the War Department. She was used for a
short time in Cuba, and at the close of the
war was brought to this city and fitted out
for her present service.
The boat is of superior workmanship, and
she is perfect in all her appointments
While quite a small craft being but forty
feet long, she is admirably adapted for her
present use, being both a roomy and
speedy boat.
