UNION MEN CALLED OUT

Union men working on G. F. Hag-

the Building Trades Council, and it
Is reported this afternoon that they
have complied with instructions. This
order involves about thirty mechanics,
also a few laborers whose work de-
ponds on the progress of the skilled

A. G.. cambridge of the new press

personally, but that the council is
holding for a principle. He feels that

RECOMMENDATIO OF COUN-
GIL COMMITTEE ON PINE
=

Alderman Fred M. Powers gets.
from the committee on paving another
chance to fight the council combine
and he will make use of the oppor-
tunity tonight. The committee de-
cided yesterday afternoon to recon-
mend that the contract for creosoted
wood block paving, be awarded to the
Republic Creosoting company, at Sill
a yard for Norway pine saturated with
kreodone. The same company Of
fered to lay blocks saturated with or
binary creosote at $1.51 and $1.54 a
square yard for Norway pine and
Georgia pine respectively and the
fancy price is for the use of kreodone.
The aldermen heard long technical
talk on creosote, oils, residue, percent
age Of evaporation and finally con-
cluded that kreodone was a bargain at
the price named. sss.
Alderman Powers called attention
to the fact that the fancy kreodone
was only aslittle better, il better at all,
than ordinary creosote. AT any rate
it was not worth the $4,000 addition
al which it would cost. the tax payers
of the city, He favored an ordinary
lcreosote and Georgia pine which could
lsbe had Tor $1.54, but the aldermen
would not hear him.
SIS A number OF Iumbermen were pres
| emit, among them g. As. Smith and Fred
Wenzel, to urge that Norway be used
in preference to the southern variety.

LETTERS ARE
READY WRITTEN
DUNN MANAGERS SENDING OUT
PREPARED MIssIvEs.
Signatures Being Secured to Letters
Declaring that Signers Have Been
Driven from Collins to Dunn by
''Mud- Singing" Public Examiner
Explains Ills Authority.

r. G. Dunn's campaign bureau is
planning a broadside for him. A num-
Der Of typewriter letters have been
sent out to local representatives of
Dunn, who are to get signatures. These
letters state, in different ways, that
Judge Collins for governor, but that
he cannot stand the "mud-slinging'
tactics of the judge and his support
ers, and hereafter he will work for
Dunn. Quite bunch of these let
tiers have been signed and sent back
to the st. Paul headquarters. It is
expected that very soon a broadside
Of these will be published in Mr..
Dunn's newspaper organs, to create
an impression that many republicans
have actually switched from Collins
to Dunn.
The letters are supposed to be spon-.
taneous, but it has leaked out that
they originate at the Dunn headquar-
ters, and the only thing added by the
signature.
Funny Logic, Says johnson.
Public Examiner Johnson is still
under fire from a st. Paul paper which
charges him with exceeding his au-
thority in making report on timber
.trespass, when the legislative COM
mlLLee seulu not INSTRUCT nlm 10 con-
tinue work on that particular line.
Mr.. Johnson has declined to be in
terviewed so far, but he said this
morning:
sThat Is a novel course of reason
ing. If a board of county commits
sioners should look into the office Of
a county treasurer and adopt a. reso-
luton saying it was all correct, and
afterward one Of my examiners should
find 100000 shortage, / suppose r
would be exceeding my authority if
said anything about it.
'"The law makes it as much my duty
to examine state offices as the county
offices. The state treasurer is checked
up by us, and we also examine the
board of control, the state university
and other state Institutions"

whose fines. which form the onus Of
the contention, have not been paid.
This he refuses to do. The five men
declare that the fines were unjustly
levied and that at present they will
not pay them. The men say also that
contrary to report Mr.. Haglin has
never declared that he will discharge
the men If they pay the fines. He has
remarked only: IF there is any fine
to be paid let me know first
The outcome of the difficulty can
not be predicted. Mr.. Haglin still
has a good many men at work on his
twenty contracts; on some Of them
are at work union men who are just
now out of the jurisdiction of the
council. 1t Is reported that possibly
the unions concerned may withdraw
from the council and work out the
matter themselves, but this is only

WHEN GRAND ASSAULT is MADE

Toxic, Aug. q 90 a. m).-The Japa.
nese are hourly awaiting tldmgs of
victory az Port Arthur with moro In
terest and eagerness than heretofore
displayed during the war. From DO.
litlcal strateglcal and sentimental
standpoint the possession Of the Rus.
sian fortress and naval base is consi-
dered OF paramount importance by tho
Japanese, II is known that the jana
nese moose about the besieged city Is
gradually tightening. The japanese
guns are pouring fire into the dlmin-
ishing circle and II Is felt here that the
critical hour Is fast approaching. But
the public here is ignorant OF the hour
when the final assault will be made, and
also OF the details OF the work already
done around Port Arthur. 1t Is believed
that the FIRE from the Japanese bat
teries viii compel the Russian fleet
TO leave the harbor and accept battle
from Admiral Togo. II Is becoming
proverbial that the Japanese
infantry viii go anywhere and win re-
fuse to retire no matter how great their
losses may be- It Is believed that Port
Arthur could have been taken before
this time with heavy sacrifice of life,
but II is evident that the military lead
ers are working 10 effect the reduction
and capture OF the fortress with the
minimum loss Of life. There will be no
charges Of great masses Of infantry un-
I'll the artillery has finished the task Of
silencing the Russian guns. A story Is
current to the effect that the emperor
has expressed the wish that the cap
ture shall be effected with the small
est possible sacrifice Of life, hence the
care and precision taken by the Japa-
nese in approaching the Russian de-
lenses and the extensive use OF the
larger engines Of war with which to
clear the way.

While the final reply Of Russia 70 the

Lansdowne instructed Sir Charles
Hardings, the British ambassador at

OF compensation for the ownership OF
the Knight Commander, with Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff. and Il is believed

that the foreign secretary explained
