Review of the International Union
Work of Forty Years Its Great
est Worth.
Colorado Springs, May 12. The
Childs-Drexel Home for printers was
dedicated here today with appropriate
ceremonies. Tbe building is located a
mile from the city on an elevation which
overlooks the Gardens of the Gode,
Pikes Peak, Manitou and Cheyenne can
yons. It is built of white lava stone
with red sandstone trimmings. It is
four stories high, '144x40 feet, with all
modern conveniences, and costs $80,000..
It is the gift of George W. Childs and A.
J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, to the Inter
national Typographical Union.- The
rooms in the building are furnished by
tbe unions in ' St. ' Louis, Chicago, San
Francisco, New York, and one by the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. The gathering of
a fine library has already begun. At
the dedication ' today, Hon. Iva G.
Sprague, mayor of Colors-'.o Springs, de
livered an address of welcome on behalf
of the city, in which he spoke in eulogy
of tbe printers and the printing trade,
instancing many illustrious men, begin
ning with Horace Greeley, who had been
printers. Gov. John L. Routt delivered
an address of welcome on behalf of the
state, congratulating Colorado on being
'chosen by the donors, as the site for tbe
building and the donors for having
selected the most suitable ppot in the
country. Hon. George W. Childs, one
of the co-donors of the institution, spoke
briefly, Baying : "Fortyone years ago
the International Typographical Union
was established. .. Printers' unions not
only spread the light ot education and
reason over this vast continent, but they
have given to labor a higher dignity,
broader independence, and all those
qualities wtiich render it of greatest
worth." - The speaker continued by say
ing he had been more or less intimately
associated with printers from boyhood,
and he naturally sympathized with
them, and what little he had been able
to do to express respect and admiration
naa Honored mm more in tne giving
than the craft in receiving. Printers
were not indebted to him, -but he to
them.
Aid is Urgently Required.
Roslyn, Wash., May 12. The town
today is deep in mourning, and there is
scarcely a house in the place where
heartbroken wives, mothers and sisters
cannot be heard sobbing for those most
deaf to them. ' The utmost destitution
prevails, and. aid is urgently required
Tbe work of rescuing the bodies is being
carried on with vigor, and up to daylight
this morning were nearly all. recovered
or located. - The city hall has been trans
formed into a regular charnel house, and
was besieged by relatives and friends of
the dead , miners. As soon as a body
could be properly dressed and placed in
the coffin it was turned over to relatives,
who in most instances were represented
by the several secret orders of the camp,
and taken to tbe late home of the
.i-
ceased. Today services were held in the
Catholic church, African M. E. church
and Unity ball, after which the bodies
were interred in the cemetery near: the
camp.; -The Northern-Pacific Coal com
pany is defraying all - expenses, besides
supplying food to the destitute families,
and yesterday $500 worth of ' supplies
were distributed from tbe company's
storehouse. . .:

Indianapolis, May 12. It is an
nounced by the proprietors of the -Indianapolis
News that the paper has been
sold to Hon.. William Henry Smith, gen
eral manager, and Charles R, Williams,
assistant general manager of the Associ
ated Press, William J. Richards, Francis
T. Hollidayr and "William A. ' Holliday ,
the last three : being . member ; of
the present ' firm. The News was
the first 2-cent paper established after
the war outside, of the large seaboard
cities, and has had a career of , remark
able success. - ;" -:".
Tbe Contract System.
Washington, May 13. Yesterday
Senator Dolph had a lively time in the
committee, but succeeded in increasing
the appropriations for Oregon and the
Columbia river $420,000. He also had
inserted an appropriation for $250,000
for the commencement of the boat rail
way at the dalles rapids, with power
given to the secretary of war to contract
for the completion of the work, a pro
vision similar to that for the completion
of the canal and locks at tbe cascades.
The provision for the boat railway se
cures the immediate commencement of
the work, its prosecution without inter
ruption, and its speedy completion.
Under the provisions made, the boat rail
way will probably be completed at the
same time the cascade locks are finished.
Senator Dolph eays there is a misappre
hension in Oregon about the contract
system. Under the provision adopted
by congress, contracts are let for the
completion of the work, to be paid for
as the appropriations are made. The
appropriations for the work thereafter
are made annually in the sundry civil
appropriation bill, and not every 'two
years in the river and harbor bill. The
work must proceed under the contracts
without reference to the' question
whether the appropriations are made or
not. Contracts under similar provisions
for other works have been let at a saving
of from 25 to 33 per cent. He says, if
he can hold ths- senate amendment in
the conference committee, the problem
of opening the Columbia river is solved"!
and secured for an earlv dav.
- Advice for Hill.
Washington, May 12. Senator Hill
has been very active today and has had
numerous conferences with well-known
Cleveland men in both houses, as . well
as many close conversations with his
own fast friends. The different demo
cratic papers 'have been advising him to
make the star play of his existence, and
nominate Cleveland at Chicago, and then
make himself solid for tbe democratic
nomination in 1896. It is possible that
Hill, seeing the drift of public opinion,
and knowing that it is next to impossible
to elect a democratic president this year,
will conclude to pull out and play the
magnanimous act, put Cleveland in
nomination, and pose as a democratic
martyr. He could do this and save
himself from defeat.
Results of a Combine.
St. Louis, May 12. The furnaces and
mills of the St. Louis iron, ore and steel
company were today sold under a decree
of foreclosure. The purchaser was the
Farmers' loan and trust company of New
York, the first mortgage bondholders.
The indebtedness was $2,000,000. Tbe
property was bid in at today's sale by
Charles P. Chouteau, onejof the original
incorporators of the St. Louis iron, ore
and steel company, and one of its heavi
est stockholders. Some years ago the
Lcompany did a large and growing busi
ness, but went into the combine, was
closed down, and after a time, found it
self entirely out of business and income.
The interest on its bonded debt was de
faulted in July, 1890, and in February
last a decree of foreclosure was taken bv
the New York creditors. Today's pro
ceedings are understood to be for the pur
pose of relieving the company of its. fi
nancial embarrassments and enabling it
to resume business under favorable aus
pices. Messrs. Chouteau, Garrison and
others of the largest stockholders go to
New York tonight to complete arrange
ments already agreed upon for the ad
justment of the debt and the resumption
oi Dusiness.
Panama Canal Trouble.
Nsw York, May 12. The eheriff re
ceived an attachment of $40,200 against
the Panama canal company of France, in
favor of Joshua J. Lindo, for work done
on the canal at the river Chagres, for
which judgment was obtained in Paris in
i March, 1890. The attachment was serv- '
' 01 Sin fha nraotlant rt fha Tnnm wa.I
road company, 29 Broadway, but lie
claimed he had no property of the former
company. . ' ..
Mr. A. J. Anderson, who has a fine
place on Chenoweth creek, three miles
below The Dalles, was up today and left
some samples of bis garden truck in
the shape of green peas, that it would be
hard to discount. He says strawberries
are going to be abundant soon.

St. Louis, May 12. The identification

determined to take their lives. Having
no money to buy poison, they decided
to drown themselves, and selected dif
ferent points on the river to accomplish
the purpose. Mrs. Williams went to
the foot of Spruce street and threw her
self into the water. She was seen by a .
boatman, who went to her rescue, and
caught her just as she was sinking a
third time. The woman was taken to
the hospital, where in a few days she
recovered. A day or two later, thinking
her husband might have been rescued,
she began a search for him, but failing

Causes of the Roslyn Disaster.
Kosuyn, May . 12. Ex-Superintendent
Ronald, when questioned as to his theory
of the explosion, stated that he was fully
satisfied as to the cause, but prudence
directed that he should keep his opinion
to himself at this time. He will give bis
statement as a mining expert when call
ed upon by the coroner. The report
that he had resigned the superin tendency
of the mines because he considered the
slope dangerous and desired to shift the
responsibility to other shoulders was .em
phatically denied.
