Settles Deal in an Hour.

-
II lad required possibly less than
an hours consultation between the
raiircad promoter aud builder and the
most powerful of the finaneicrs Of New
York TO reach an understanding. Prob3
bly, the greater part of the time was
consumed by Sir William in laying be
fore Mr.. Schiff the proposition, ana
the bankers mind was, during this
present alton, weighing all the details,
every consideration, SO that he was
prepared at the moment Sir William
had stated his case to give an answer.
And xct the proposition involves the
raising Of some $40.000,000, although
not all of it at once, since it is the
understanding that bonds will be
financed and the cash furnished in GER
tain limited amounts and in proportion
as the construction work is done un-
til at last all the money needed has
thus been raised and paid over.
At the very time Sir William Van
Horne was in consultation with Mr.
Schiff the banker had certain other
propositions before him, sorae OF thcel
involving possibly the financing of Sc
curities equal in amount to those which
will represent the cost of the trans
portatiOn improvements in the Philip
pines This incident is only one Of
many of recent years Which have cans

ers. who has beer here several days en-
deayoring to patch up the existing diff
ficulties between the Iron League and
the Housesmiths' Union. has received d
letter from the secretary OF the league
refusing to meet the executive COM
mittee OF the international association.
The strike committee OF the IronLeague
says there is nothing to settle. II is
through with all negotiations with the
Housesmiths' Union and the members
OF the League are only employing mem-
bers Of the union formed by the En-
ployers Association. Until the union
expresses It's willingness to sign the
plan Of arbitration the iron league will
have nothing to do with II.
As the union is on record as opposed
to the signing Of the plan it Is expected
a strike will be ordered now on all the
contracts held by members OF the iron
league out Of town In retaliatlnn. Men,
IT Is expected, will be called out in Bos-
ton. Baltimore Philadelphia. New Or
leans and Newark. The order would
affect 500 iron workers and probably
5000 men in the building trades Of these
cities who are dependent upon the work
OF the iron workers will be forced into
idleness.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEES NIX.

New York, oct. 2S.-In a statement
issued to the public by the Arm of
William Bradley & Co., contracting
stone cutters in Brooklyn, 1t is alleged
that the employees, about 100 in number
have been organizing strike at the
instfgation OF an association employing
stone cutters which has formed an al"
lis.nce with labor unions connected
with the trade in Greater New York,
The firm charges that members of the
association regularly add 10 per cent to
all bids for stone work and after aver
aging bids, the associations officers APP
portion the contracts; that this added
10 per cent amounts annually to 100000
which is divided with the unions, the
latter receiving about $4,000, the ball
ance going to the association.
The president Of the corporation, r.
f. Giberson. threatens an appeal to the
courts II his men do not return to work.
1t Is said that some of the employers
admit having agreed to add 10 per cent
on all contracts in New York having
made an arrangement for dividing with
the unions.

IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

New York, Oct. 2S.--Justice Holt, Of
the United States district court for the
Southern New York district, has hand
ed down decision In the suit OF the
New York and Cuban Mail Steamship
Company, brought as a test case under
the clause OF the war revenue act OF
1898, imposing a stamp tax on manifests
for the clearance of cargoes for for
eign port, In which he holds the tax In
question to be unconstitutional, as be-
ing In effect o TAX on exports. Should
the government not appeal from this
decision, or in event Of the decision be-
ing sustained by the supreme court of
the United States. the amount paid as
such tax by the various steamship
companies will be refunded by the gov
ernment.
This case Is the outcome of decision
by the United States supreme court
that the tax on export bills Of lading
was contrary to the provisions Of ar
ticle one, section nine of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, that no tax
or duty shall be laid on articles export
ed from any state.
1t was urged by the government that
the tax on export bills of lading was
tax on the document or paper, but the
court held that I was in reality a tax
on the goods represented in the bill OF
lading.

Dynamite Found
In Seattle Depot
Twelve Sticks Of Explosive Dis
covered in the Toilet Of
Interurban Station.

Seattle. Oct. 2S.--Tweive sticks oi
dynamite in two packages, with split
fuses attached ready TO light, were
found concealed m the toilet of the in
terurban depot this afternoon. There
was enough OF the explosive to have
blown up all the buildings within a
radius Of two blocks and damage prop
erty distance of several blocks from
the depot.
One package containing six sticks
had been placed behind washstand
bowl. The second package, containing
the same amount, was secreted behind
the toilet bowl.
The discovery was made by laborer
named Wilson. His eye fell on the
package beside the washstand and the
fact that it was concealed struck him
as peculiar. He pulled it out and dis
covered it was dynamite.
Detectives are searching for the dyna
miters, but with slight hopes OF appre-
hending the criminals. Several arrests
have been made during the last few
weeks, but the suspects usually told a
plausible tale and were released.

cover Frauds.

Washington, Oct. 2S. Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock today stated
that he did not accuse any United
States senator OF being concerned in
the land frauds in the Pacific coast
states.
Senators Mitchell and Fulton, OF Ore
gon. had a conference with the secre-
tary today relative to the land frauds
and assured him Of their hearty Coop
Grafton in all efforts toward the dis
covery and punishment OF persons In
volved In Irregularities. They said
they had united in recommending
Receiver Thomson. Of the LaGrande
Office, who has been indicted for bribery
and had done so because OF their con-
fidence In him, the nan being a farm
or and former member OF the legils-
lature. They said that. while they
would suspend judgment pending trial,
they would do nothing to shield him.
The secretary talked with the sena-
tors as to the advisabillty of amending
the tImebr and stone act and home
stead laws to prevent frauds such as
those which are being perpetrated, and
they assured him of their willingness
to do nll possible TO that end. The SEN
ators agreed with the secretary that
there had been some fraudulent prac-
tices in the administration of the land
laws, but .ontended that there were no
more frauds In oregon than in other
states. They referred to the entry OF
land in lieu Of patented lands within
forest reserves and said that. while
there had undoubtedly been some sharp
in that connection, the fault
was largely due to the law. Senator
pointed out that stricter in
spectlon OF the area to be enclosed In
intended forest reservations would do
much to prevent the frauds complained
Of.
