 '"The calamity at Myers is just what might have been expected" said Marcus T. Reynolds, an architect who has designed several of the city's larg- est buildings. North Pearl street for the most part is lined with old ram shackle buildings that have been re- modelled, altered and their walls made to bear weights they were never intended to support. The result finally would be that the walls would bo much weakened and when any altera- tions are undertaken as in the case of the John c.

Secretary Wilson Will Prebe Matters
 to the Bottom.

Washington. Aug. 9.-George II. McCabe, solicitor of the department of agriculture has been placed at the head of the investigation of the bu- reau of animal industry by Secretary Wilson, with full authority to probe matters there to the bottom. The in- quiry into the affairs Of that bureau not only involves the charges con corning the tags attached to the meat inspected by the government but also. it is said. charges that meat inspcc- ton as now administered rebounds to the benefit of the so-called beef trust.
 An additional inspection of meats is now a matter desired by Secretary Wilson and he will ask congress at the next session for an appropriation of sI5.000 for the purpose. In Chi cago. Omaha and Kansas City. it is impossible. it is alleged. for the in dependent packers. supplying the lo- cal manufacturers 10 obtain inspec- ton of their output.
 "It is not right" said the secre- tary. flor the big packers to have A monopoly through government in- spection. That Is matter which municipal authorities could regulate without difficulty. lt should not be necessary to have government inspec- fion for the domestic trade. At pres ent our hands are tied"

ANOTHER DELAY.
0akvills. Watertswn Trolley Question
 Robbins Apologies to Fyler.

Hartford, Aug 9.-The great scope of the charter of the Consolidated Railway Co was brought to the atten- ton of the railroad commissioners to- day and was enlivened by tilt be- tween Attorney Robbins of the com pany and Commissioner O. K. Fyler, resulting in the former apologizIng for what he had said and the commis- sioner maintaining a dignified silence.
 Attorney Robbins took the stand that there was no question whatever that the road had right for an exten- sion of the lines of the Portland Street Railway Co to Middletown over an air line bridge. He also said that the rail- road company had a right to use steam tracks for the transmission of electric or other cars over this bridge, or in fact over any part of this sys tenn.
 MT Fyler said that he was inclined to believe that the connection of cleo tric car tracks with steam road tracks would be of the character of a crossing.
 In explaining MT Robbins prefaced his remarks with the statement, There Is no sense in such a proposi- tion." Immediately afterwards he hastened to apologize.
 On the matter of the trolley line be- tween Waterbury and Watertown postponement was granted until Au- gust 27, as Attorney Burpee stated that probably an agreement would be reached between the trolley and the steam interests in the city of Water bury. which would be sent to the rail road commissioners for ratification.

Revenue Cutter that Wouldn't [ Reverse.
Rammed Pier Under Full Head, Cutting it Cleanly in Halves No Injury Re. suited to the Vessel.

New York, Aug. 9.-The United States revenue cutter Calumet ram med a city pier, and practically se- vered 1t into two sections with her steel prov, without serious damage to herself. One hundred feet away from the pier toward which the cut ter was heading her engine refused to obey the reverse lever, and the boat rammed the pier under full steam.
 The string piece on the pier snapped before the impact and the Calumet ploughed up 20 feet of the planking before coming to standstill. The shock, which smashed her windows and snapped off her flagstaff, only scratched the paint off the cutters steed girt hull. The cutter was how ever taken out of commission in order to investigate the trouble with the en- zine.

SELL TO CHINA.
Morgan Will Dispose of the Harbour
 and Railway.

New York, Aug 9.-Speculatlon con- cerning the future control of tine Han kow and Canton railway and the con- sessions for further construction now owned by the China American Devel- opment Co were set at rest yesterday by the positive statement made ill well informed quarters, according 10 the Herald, that J. P. Morgan X Co are continuing their negotiations for the sale of the properties and conces- siOns to the Chinese. It was learned further that the offers for the control of the China Americau Development Co, made by various European syndi- cates, are not being considered by the Morgan firm. From financial point of view. several of these offers are un- derstOod to have been very tempting.
 If the attitude of the various Chi nese governments had been different, the Herald continues, and more In harmony with the spirit in which the concessions were granted, it might have been possible to sell the control to European bidders At the present time, however, th3'negotiations for the sale of the property have becom closely intertwined with diplomacy While large banking profit will like. ly be sacrificed by the sale of the con. sessions and railroad to the Chinese, it is asserted that the majority inter- est is acting with view 70 promoting better and more cordial relations be tween this country and China than now exist, and at the same time eIim. mate some of the friction.
 Delay in completing the sale to the Chinese is stated to be due to the diffi- culty in determining just which of tile provincial governments, or it may be the imperial government, is the cor. rect and proper quarter with which tO deal. Precautions safeguarding the transfer of the concession and the payment therefor necessitate great deal of time and attention.

 Said Struck Him.
 Some of the youngsters about town have better plan of putting peddlers out of business than the aldermen ever can hatch up, no matter how many ordinances they may pass. Ono of them took aim with a stone at a Hebrew vender of farm produce on Center street this afternoon and took in the side of the head. knocking him off the seat and almost tumbling him into the street. When he recovered from the shock he pursued youngster as far as Grand street and cnarged him with being the offending party. The boy stoutly denied the allegation. but the peddler stuck to it and called upon Officer Tehan to help him out of the trouble. The officer took the boy'y name and told the peddler to look up the witnesses he claimed to be able to bring forward. Then the old gentle man left vowing as he went that he was going to make things hot for the youngster.
