IN EXCESS OF FUNDS.
All Bids for the Highway Bridge Re-
jected.

General Gillespie, chief of engineers, has

Gently submitted for the construction of the
highway bridge across the Potomac on the
general ground that they are in excess OF
the available funds. The question is now
before Secretary Root for final action and
1t will be for him to determine whether the
plans for the bridge shall be modified SO as
to reduce the cost of construction and new
bids called for or whether the matter shall
be left open until Congress reassembles in
the hope that an additional appropriation
may be made.
Colonel Allen is now considering the aues-
ton OF modifying the approved plans so as
to bring the cost of construction within
the limit of cost fixed by Congress- 1898 600
and 1t Is expected that his report will be
submitted in few days. Secretary Root
will probably defer action until he receives
that report.

THE STRIKING TAILORS
PREPARED TO CONTINUE CON.
TEST INDEFINITELY.
Statement by Mr.. W. 81. Running, Or
ganizer of the Journeymen-Em-
ployers Confident.

The statement was made today that the
strike of the thirty-fve journeymen tailors
against those employers who persist In
refusing to recognize the union will con-
tinue Indefinitely, unless the latter yield.
The strikers expressed indignation at the
report that they were considering the ad-
visability of modifying their demand by
limiting the life Of the union agI eement to
one year. They state that the union has
taken no such action, and that such an
agreement was reached between one hrm
only and it's employees. The employers are
as insistent as ever, declaring that they
are experiencing nc Inconvenience as re-
suit Of the strike, and express the belief
that the journeymen will return to work
under the old conditions.
Mr.. w. H. Running. organizer of the
journeymen tailors gave out the following
statement this afternoon:
Under present conditions 1t ts hard to
say how long the strike will continue. We
are asking for nothing but recognition OF
the union and are prepared to carry on
the struggle for some time to come. A
committee of the union has Spent the past
few days in Baltimore, Md. conducting
an Investigation. AS result OF this In,
quiry it was discovered that leading local
stores in which the strike is In force are
shipping their work to the monumental
city, and that 1t Is being done there. We
mass meeting in order that we may bring
out all the facts
1.-The. firms which have thus far signed
the union agreement are: Parker, Bridget
& Co.. Robbins Bros. Bobys & Bobys. J..
& w. Eiseman, Thomas E. Gilbert Harry
Lee, M. F. Seltz. John Waldman. M. g..
johnson. George w. Mobray. Norris & Jo-
hanson, Edwin Potbury, Geraci & Farrell,
and George Herold.
I'VE are considering the advisability Of
CARRYING out the instructions from the gen
eral headquarters relative to the estab-
lishment Of union stores. We do not wish
to resort to such stringent methods. but
should the attitude OF the employers de-
mand It. we will have to carry out the
instructions to the letter.
"All union garment workers in this city
and Baltimore, Nd, have refused to work
on goods OF the local employers against
whom the strike is directed.
TN day or two committees will be sent
to Philadelphia and New York for the pur-
pose of procuring the cooperation of the
union tailors and garment workers in those
cities in this strike. Our picket system has
proved itself to be Invaluable to US AS
result no employer has been able to secure
workmen to take the place of strikers

Openings in the Dakotas.

districts with some knowledge Of farming"

are now glad to get men at $50 and $S5 a
month and board Why, day Iaborers never
get less than $3.50 q day. and during har-

back in the shape Of the famous billiards.,
but every country has its drawbacks. In

night 1t is surprisingly cool, and the climate
on the whole is above the average"

The Crab-Catching Industry,

The rich, succulent crab is again in
evidence along the lower Potomac, and
their appearance is as usual hailed with
delight by the countless men and boys
who make good many extra dollars
catching them" said B. F. Faulkner of CO.
lonial Beach. There are quite a number
or men In our section who make a business
OF catching and shipping crabs during the
spring and summer seasons, and they have
found 1t to be a lucrative one. Thousands
or crabs are caught and shipped every day
and before the season closes the number
will probably have gone into millions"

An Oil Boom in virginia.

Virginia is having an oil boom, with
the prospects of its developing into a pros
porous business said F. B. Cochran OF
Staunton. 1.-The prospectors for Oil in Au-
gusta county have met with much success
and experts who have examined the con-
ditions have freely expressed the opinion
that there Is oil in paying quantities. While
there has been no work on an elaborate
scale. the fact that strangers have been
quietly taking options on certain lands Is
believed to mean that when the time is
ripe activities will begin"

Wheat Prospects in Indiana.

III present conditions prevail. 1 know Of
no reason why Indiana should not have a
banner wheat crop" said r. r. Charles OF
Indianapolis There has been no damage
from the fly. and practically none from
the winter freezing. There will be large
quantity of wheat in the river counties
washed out by the high water and covered
by the deposit of silt the waters will leave.
and II the weather should turn warm the
water on the lowlands would scald the
wheat, but the acreage throughout the
state is above the average. and this de-
crease will be more than offset by the in
crease in the counties where the growth is
better than usual

PUBLIC TO BE HEARD
AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS TO
BE DISCUSSED.
Commissioners Will Grant an Audience
Next Monday Morning-Ma-
chimes to Be Numbered.

At the suggestion of Commissioner West
the District Commissioners have decided to
grant a public hearing next Tuesday morn
ing, the 14th instant, at IL o'clock, on the
subject of the proposed new regulations re-
garding the operation Of automobiles in the
city and District. The public interest in
the matter Is manifested in the large num-
Der of letters the Commissioners have re-
ceived on the subject. Commissioner West
has also been fairly besieged with callers,
most OF whom are loud in their approval
of his course in desiring the further regu-
lation of the horseless vehicles.
Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh. former Attorney
General. has notified Commissioner West
that he will be glad to appear at any hear
ing the Commissioner might grant to speak
in favor of regulating the autos, especially
with regard to numbering each machine
phia In connection with the anthracite coal
strike commission during the crusade in
that city against the reckless drivers of
motor vehicles, and became acquainted
numbering Mr.. Wests has received a
number of assurances from prominent au-
tomobile owners who say they will be glad
with all the reasonable regulations the
Commissioners deem ut to promulgate.
1t is now practically iiassured that the
Commissioners will insist upon the ucenS-
ing and numbering of all autos. This
seems to be the only simple and safe means
of Identification.
Ex-senator Chambers Views.
Among the letters,oreceived today by
Commissioner West was Cone from Former
Senator William e. Chandler, president of
the Spanish treaty claims commission. who
is himself an enthusiastic automobilist.
THE Commissioners" Mr.. Chandler says
SHOULD persist in making reasonable rules
about automobiles. The limit-of-speed
rules should be enforced, and In order to
identify mobiles a large distinctive num-
Der, or initials, or a motto. should be
placed upon the back OF each vehicle as Is
required in New York and other cities All
automobiles should be, licensed and the
rule should be made that when they are
left alone in q street the starting lever
shall be made secure.
IAN these rules which you will make
mot unreasonable ones. / am sure) are in
the interest of automobiling. The exces-
sive speed in the racing on highways is
responsible for shocking deaths and the
unpopularity of the machines. All persons
who desire to avail themselves Of the rea-
sonable use Of the public streets for self
propelling vehicles are Interested In hav-
ing you make proper rules Only reckless

racers and gamblers wish to prevent the

adoption of such rules"
The Commissioners have received from
interested persons copies of. the state laws
recently adopted in New Jersey and Con-
necticut. In each of these laws the main
provisions are for registering and num-
bering machines. These seem to be the
fundamental principles of all the laws on
the subject, and will be made the founda-
ton of the regulations here in the District.

SOUND DOCTRINE.
Hon Fuller Fox Talks About The
Campaign For Governor.


There was good old fashion,
ed Democratic love feast at the
court house Wednesday night.
Hon. Fuller Fox, candidate fol
governor, reused the people to
an enthusiasm not produced by
any political speaker in recent
years. He did not waste time in
casting rhetorical posies, nor at
tempt a pyratechnical display OF
oratory, but in plain, every day
language set forth his concep-
ton of the duties of the COVER
nor of great state, explained
the quibbling over his candidacy
and in the most fOrcefpl and
comprehensive manner demolish,
ed the false issues that are being
injected into the campaign.
Mr.. Fox takes a high and dig
nified position before the people
As an aspirant for the support of
an intelligent and civilized and
progressive people, he scorns
the clap strap demagoguery Of
race prejudice and class distinct
ions, but makes his plea for votes
by an appeal to the reason and
judgement of his hearers, and to
their nobler impulses.
Mr., Fox's whole speech evin ;
ced a close study of the several
issues under discussion, and his
deductio, S, as well as the force
and cloarness of his argument,
met the approval Of the large au-
deuce.
Mr.. Fox was the guest Of his
brother, DR.. L. T. Fox, aud was
given a hearty social welcome as
well as generous political res
