NEW YORK, June 3O.-Four Italian
tradesmen of the Italian colony of Brook

wares. assembled today at the corner Of
Van Brunt and Union streets, Brooklyn, to
talk over market conditions. In short

were more or less seriously injured, and

The street was crowded at the time and
a panic ensued when the fight started. Big

Five Workmen Injured
Five workmen were injured while at work
clearing away the props which held the
big vessel. The timbers gave way without
warming. and the men were hurled some dis
lance by being hit by the props. James
Campbell of Gloucester and Joseph Kap-
pakinsi were taken to a hospital, severely
bruised about the head and body. The con-
dition of Campbell is said to be serious The
other workmen are only slightly injured
The launching party had not reached the
christening stand when the accident oc-
CURED. and were ignorant of the fact that
anything unusual had happened until the
vessel had left the ways. The accident oc-
CURED nearly half hour before the
launching. Several workmen began to saw
and knock the props from under the vessel
shortly before 40 They had not been at
work long before several props gave way,
probably caused by the New Hampshire
settling. The injured men were hurriedly
removed from the yard, and every effort
was made to keep the news of the accident
from the christening party. In this the
company was successful. as Miss McLane
knew nothing of the unfortunate occur

"The confusion thrown about the question of railroads and the govern ment aid of them in Alaska, by the railroad men themselves is responsible for the amendinq of the law under which the appropriation was made TOT the survey from Valdez to Council City and the leaving out of all reference to railroads, said Major Richardson yesterday in referring to his work here for this summer. "There has been disposition clearly manifested by the administration to aid the development of Alaska through the building of rail roads but of course it could not be pos sible to favor any particular enter prise or set of investors. The purpose was to build a railroad from the south coast to the interior, in the first place and that purpose grew to the possible extension of line to the Boring sea coast. I favored the idea in my report and recommendation But there are six different companies projecting rail road enterprises from the coast. The conflicting interests of these companies prevented a concentration upon the main point-the passage of a bill that
 would secure or require the building oi a railroad across the district from the coast to the Panama and the Yukon river. This was the first consideration. Any road securing the guarantee of the government would of course, be re- quired to build through to the Yukon
