Outlook for Spindleshanks,

From the American Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Now that King Edward has set the fash
ion for knee breeches in full dress affairs
and is being followed by many Of his sub
jects. IT is likely that they will be received
ere long on this side of the water. They
must. of course. be made of black silk or
satin, and the effects resulting from such IL
dress will. to say the least be somewhat
curious Those who favor the innovation
VIII be the well-built. athletic class. while
those who cry out most loudly against it
that they will not adopt such a ridiculous
fashon-will have. no doubt. some per-
Sonal reasons for not wanting to be seen
in knee breeches. 1t will not be the first
fashion adopted that has made men look
ridiculous. nor will 1t probably be the last.
King Edward is still the criterion Of fash
ion in London. There Is little question us
to the style there at least.

part Of the business of the department 10

II think 1t Is due you to know that this
department Will not ask Congress to make
the necessary additional appropriations
The friends Of granite must get the ap-
preparation IL it is obtained. and IN the
absence OF the appropriation the building
will be of sandstone.
Il am glad to note this language In your
letter: We quite agree with you that we
have no fault to find that the contract for
a sandstone building was let to another
party. Solving one question at time this
department, then. has your approval IL
let the contract for sandstone building TO
the lowest bidder. The bidder Is repu-
table contractor, in the business. ana credit
agencies report he possesses the best or
credit. All insinuation against the con-
tractor as being in the interest OF another
Is, therefore, gratuitous. There Is no more
reason to suppose that Bradley & Son rep
resent some one else than that the Charles
McCaul Company represents another
'The criticism you make Is. to quote
your language: a clause has been insert
ed in the proposed contract agreeing to
pay Bradley & Son the difference between
their bid for sandstone building ana our
bid for granite building in the event II is IS
built of the latter Such provision will
go into the contract. Under the appropria-
ton the department did not feel Justified

intend to. but the department did deem 1t
a matter of Justice to the friends OF gran

portunity for a hearing in Congress. The
additional cost is now a fixed sum and tho
contractor cannot take advantage Of the
government in case Congress makes tho
appropriation.
Il write you at this length that you may
fully understand the situation and I would
have done 1t just as promptly and just as
willingly tf YOU had not reSOrted to the
public press as the forum in which to try
this case. No forum is fairer than the
Treasury Department, and there IS no
place where you will be more welcome or
where you will be granted a more complete

SHUT OFF BY RUSSIA
JAPAN'S WHEAT SUPPLY FROM

Press Aroused.

A dispatch from Peking yesterday says:
The issan administration of Niu-chuang
has stopped the expectation of wheat to Ja-
pan. The export of grain from Chinese
ports is Illegal, but the Russians hereto
fore have ignored the law. During the past
week the Japanese obtained many ship
loads from Niu-Chuang. apparently prcpar-

We're employed in bringing wheat from

by the Russian officials last Thursday.
Gen. kondradovitch has been placed in
charge of six armed commercial boats and
the navigation Of the Lao river. which Is
construed here another sign of Russia s
intention to retain Niu-chuang and the
command of the river. Great numbers OF
Russian civilians and soldiers families, 1t
is reported. are being brought to Manchu-
ria. 1t Is believed. in pursuance of Il com
prehensive plan to rapidly colonize the
province. Al the present rate there will be

LONDON, July 2S.-Manchurian affairs

the statements made at the Japanese lega-
tion last Friday to a representative OF the
Associated Press. to The effect that japan $
policy was to wait and watch the Russian
developments in the east, all the datiieS re-
produce the Associated Press interview
with Director Hartwig of the Asiatic de-
partment of the Russian foreign office.
The latter attracts serious comment.
Comparisons are drawn between the peace
full and dignified attitude of the Japa nese
officials and the Insulting, provocative
character of the remarks of the Russian
director. whose statements are regarded as
demanding a dsa vowal on the part of the
Russian government.
The Graphic says: UNLESS he (the direc-
tori ia taken severely to task the situation
will become exceedingly delicate. for Japan
is not likely to sit quiet under the threat
of anniiiiiation."
The Chronicle takes a milder view. and
thinks. stripped of srandloquent phrascolo-
ey. that the directors statement. the
whole. makes for peace. on the ground
that he S!:eS very clear and solid aSSur-
anccS about the proposed open ports, and
that 1t is needless TO pay much atten ton
to his claim for straightforward honesty on
the part Of Russia and dupicty on the
part of Great Britain"

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS.
Pennsylvania System Pays It's Execu-
tive the Largest Salary.

From the New York Commercial.
A. j. Cassatt, president of the Pennsyl-
venia railroad, probably receives the larg-
est salary of any railroad official in the
United States. He Is credited with receiv-
ing $4,000 year While no other rail-
road official is believed to receive as large
a salary as President Cassatt there are a
number of presidents who receive $4,000
year. James J. Hill IS understood to draw
a salary of $4,000 a year as president of
the Northern Securities Company. In addi-
ton. he draws a nominal salary the head
of the Great Northern railway. Samuel
Spencer. president OF the Southern railway
receives $4,000 a year.
Frederick d. Underwood was appointed
president of the Erie railroad at the request
of James J. Hi. The story Is told that Mr.
Underwood who had done much to build
up the Baltimore and Ohio, was requested
by J. p Morgan to make an inspection Of
the Erie. After he had made the inspection
he requested to call at Mr.. Morgans 8
Office. He was asked in regard to what he
had found. He answered that with free
sway he could save 20 per cent of the cost
Of operating the Erie and put it on a par
with the other trunk lines. He added that
1t would take the hardest work of his life
and that he would stake his reputation on
it for $4,000 a year. His terms were ac-
cepted.

are understood to receive salaries OF $50, 900

WASHINGTON, July 27, 1893

WASHINGTON. July 27. 1893.
"Gentlemen: Your letter of the 18th is
received. l do not recall the details of the
conversation when you Were in my office,
do l remember having asked the super
vising architect over the 'ph me to corrob-
crate your statement. The supervising ar
ciiitect is out Of the city today, and can
not. therefore corroborate your statement
by him. I presume the plans were SO pre-
pa red that granite could be used. The fact
that bids were requested in granite, in
sandstone and in marble justifies that con-
clusion. This much do know, however:
Before the contract was let | called ne
supervising architect to my office and asked
him If the building could be constructed OF
granite within the appropriation. He re-
piled that it could. but that we might have
to skImp The interior finish. l think this
was his exact language. l know 1t is the
purport of the language he used.
Il presume you are aware OF a special act
of Congress providing that all public build
ings shall be completed within the appro-
pratt You also well aware that the
final completion of a building is expensive
and frequently unexpected expenditures are
incurred. l would prefer to have quite "A
respectable unexpended balance than to ask
for an additional appropria ton In addition
to this consideration a very lengthy petit
ton was on file asking that local stone be
used. and I am willing to concede per-
soral preference in favor of using local
material. Therefore, in absolute good faith
the contract was let for the construction OF
the building of sandstone, and with the
expectation that the building will be con-
structed of sandstone, and with no fnten-
ton of making any change There is how
ever, a difference of opinion among the
good people of Cleveland. and, II 1 am
rightly advised. some politics are being
dragged into It, In view OF this fact l re-
served the right to substitute granite at
an agreed price. and that price the lowest
sum which any contractor had bid The
difference between your bid and Mr.. Brad
leys is only 81 800, but 1 do not see how
you have been prejudiced by this nominal
discount.

BAGGAGE ORDER REsCINDED.

Associated Press. Morning Service.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-At a
conference here between Collector
Stackable of Honolulu and Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Robert b.
Armstrong, it was decided to have all
inbound baggage from the Orient eX-
amined here instead of at Honolulu.
Passengers from Honolulu are given
the option of inspection there or here.
The order, which the Treasury De-
partment has now decided to rescind
went into effect June Goth. 1t has never
been liked by the people in Honolulu,
one of the chief objections being that
tourists, who had but a few hours in
port at best, We're held on the steamer
or wharf, until an examination of their
baggage had been made.
Under this order every through pas
senger had all of his baggage examined
by the customs inspectors here. The
heavy baggage containing dutiable
goods was placed in a sealed compart-
ment and sent on, on the same steamer
The order practically necessitated a
double passage of the customs inspec-
tors, and naturally the passengers OBJ
jected. Hackfeld & Co. also protested
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
passengers returning on Oriental
steamers sent a complaint to Washing
ton against the treatment they had re-
ceived in Honolulu. Finally on August
9Th, the order was suspended and has
not been enforced since then Collector
Stackable was then asked to come to
San Francisco to discuss the advisable
ity of resembling the order.

chickens was detected and he was taxi
en- into custody.
In the arrest of All Sam the police
think they have secured a chicken thief
Shortly after o'clock this morning,
Special Officer Adams of a private pa
troll saw Sam sneaking along the rail-
way yards. Sam was bowed under the
weight of seven chickens which were in
a bag. The officer took Sam into GUS
tody.
The authorities are searching for
some chicken owner whose hen house
was robbed last night. 1t is thought
by the police that Sam did not come
properly by those chickens. Sam will
be detained pending an investigation.
