VANCOUVER BARRACKS " HAS STRIKE ON HAND (Journal Special Berries.) Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 8. -There Is trouble between the contractors and the concrete workers on : the government ; buildings now being erected at the Van couver barracks..,. The contractors, a couple of days ago, notified the con i crete workers that there would be a cut ; In wages... The men were receiving $2.50 per day, ahd'bythe terms of their noti- flcatlon they were advised they would , hereafter refelve only $2 pei 4ay. The '. men seriously objected to this and .de clined to work. Messrs. Brlngham and HoBkins, the contractors, claim, It 1 al leged, that they, can procure all the la- borers they wish to do the same work for $2 a day, and that they will not pay more wberf work can be done for less. It is said that the cement finishers have decided to quit also, and that their action is due to their sympathies with Nthelr co-laborers, and as the matter now stands,, all the cement workers have Shut down for the present. That this will entail some loss on the contractorsIf the strike lasts any length of time, there is no doubt. The con- : tractors are supposed to have the bulld- Ings done within a . certain time, and they have, it is said; given bonds that : this will 'be accomplished, . Of .course, It is possible, - if the wwk Is delayed ; ong, that the 'contractors may secure additional time In which to Accomplish thlsr but the laborers are expecting t,he government building inspector to take the matter up, and this, they allege, will cause much more trouble for the ' contractors, and that it would be better " for them to pay 'the old wages and not have the work stop jit all. .''''. The artillerymen's new quarters will be completed by the first of February, but the' trouble with the "cement work ers will, not affect the completion of these barracks, as all tile cement work has been finished therein. , . 1 ,T Detectives Xiobkiag for Crooks.

This ended the case and Mr. McClanahan was free to go, The case of the State, vs. E, C, Par sons, who was charged with stealing a quantity Of goods from insane asylum, while he.was an attendant at that in stitution, was also tried yesterday after noon. A large quantity of goods, con sisting of blankets, sheets, counter panes, napkins, towels, toweling, silver plated spoons, thread, matches, en velopes, a hammer and other articles, was introduced in evidence. These goods were seized -at defendant's home by the officers of the asylum and by them identified as belonging to the state. .

The Jury In the case was out but'a short time, when they re turned into court and brought in a ver dict of guilty as charged. - As the charge was petty ' larceny, a jail sentence is probably all that defendant will have to suffer. ,v: ,-.
