Before his departure for the west tonight
Supervising Archltoot Edbrooko told TUB
BKK correspondent that the operation of the
.now eight-hour law might malia a serious
( lifforonco in the plans for the Omaha
building. When the law went , Into tffoct n
number of bids for building contracts wore
pending in the office and Mr. Edbrooko sent
thorn with a copy of the now law so that
they might bo raised to conform with it.
They came baci : increased by 10,12 and 15
per cent.
Basing bis estimator on these increases
Mr. Edbrooko says that bo believes the
now law will make the government
pay 12 nor cent moro than it has boon paying
for its building work The government
spends about $ riUUJ,000 ( a yoat on public
buildings.
So the economic democratic congress which
would not spend a cant for now buildings
this year has passed a law which will make
them hereafter cost thogovorninont ? 3,000,000
more than formerly. The now bill will work
a hardship In places wliero nn appropriation
has boon made unless congress dons some
thing to change the conditions. Under Mr.
Eubrookes's estlirato the Omnha building ns
planned will cost nearly 815U.OOU loss than tbo
estimates. Unless the congress will appro
priate this additional amount the plain wilt
bo changed and the building will bo made
much loss ornamental.
Mr. Edbrookn will recommend that con-
cress make the additional appropriation ,
Mr. Kdbrooko says that ho is going to
Omaha by wav " of Chicago on a general tour
of Inspection. Ho says that bis reports from
Omaha nro mat tha work ou tbo building
there is progressing favorably.

Chairman Cartorof the republican national
committee spent the day In Washington. Ho
talked politics , was prosontea with a gold
watch and chain by the employes of the gen
eral land olllco ai.d saw a num
ber of men who arc moro or
loss Interesting in the campaign. Ono
interview of considerable significance was
that with General \V. W. Dudley , who was
treasurer of the campaign committee in 1SSS.
rhero huvo been d&rl < hints that Mr. Dudley
would not help with bis political knowledge
in the coming campaign , Uecauso ho was not
satisfied with the way in which President
Harrison had treated him. After his talk
with Dudley , Mr. Carter said that it could
bo safely stated that Dudley would do all ho
could for the republican ticket. Ho wai
ready to work with the chairman to that cod.
Mr. Carter says that the situation is all
that could bo deslrca. There In no break
in the republican lines and ho
expects succosi. He added : "In tno north
west where the democrats have been fond of
chasing rainbows , wn foci perfectly assured
of Carrying every stato. Wo have Informa
tion that there is some dlsatTection nmonir
tbo Swedes in Minnesota who were not en
tirely satUtlcd wltn the nomination Of Judge
Nelson for governor , and that the democrats
and farmers alliance party are trying to
make some capital out of it. vVo understand
they are not mooting with any great success.
Third Party Movements.
"So faras the third party movomentgoes It
will not render doubtful any of the north
western states , with the possible exception
of Nebraska , where they uro making a deter
mined flght. Our information is that the
democrats have practically abondonod their
cause in Nebraska , and if they turn tholr
full vote over to tbo farmers ulllanco they
may make some trouble for us , Ou the other
band , where the democrat abandoned their
party in Kansas , everything Is looking bright
uod cheerful find tboro is no doubt about
carrying that state. "
From time to time Chairman Carter has
boon represented as being''all broke up"
over tbo management of the campaign , and
the statement has been made tbat ho was not
able to cope with tbo executive responsibili
ties. His appearance hellos these state
ments and his conversation shows tbat ho is
managing the campaign very much as he has
conducted the general laud office and ot&er
public positions which ho bas occupied , and
that ho is running tbo campaign upon a suc
cessful basis. Ho says that the details are
being rapidly arranged and tbat within a
weak or ten days all the work will bo par
celed out to the men who nave been doslg-
uatod to toke charge of different divisions
and sections.
JllgCOllllllCUIlf.
Although no definite word has boon re
ceived from the president on the subject it is
understood that his loiter of acceptance will
bo ready about Aucust 25. It will bo clvon
to the press at Washington. It will bo
rather long , for in It the president will hate
his only opportunity to approach political is
sues as acanuidatc. The dignity of bib olllco
makes it Impossible that bo should make any
political speeches during tbo campaign. Ho-
publlcHii leaders uro waiting for tbo presi
dent to sound the keynote before opening

HAMILTON , Ont , Aug. 10. The Ancient
Order of Hibernians of Hamilton naa Tor
onto , with representatives from Buffalo ,
Rocbcstor , N. Y. , and otbor places , hold a
big demonstration and parade yesterday.
The most notable feature ot the procession
and ono that caused much comment on tbo
streets was the fact that no British or
Canadian flags wore displayed , the proces
sion being headed by the Jrlsh flag , with
several moro nf the same kind and about a
dozen American flags scattered thiough the
procession. It was explained that the
omission of the British or Canadian fiac was
puioly accidental , but it at least created a
vnry unfavorable impression and might bavo
precipitated n riot. Near the corner of John
and King streets a bystander asked one of
the marshals : " \Vboro is your union jock ! "
und tbo reply was : "To hell with it. "
