"William D. Cornish , mastor-ln-chanccry for
the Union Pacific rctelv ershlp caces , will
fllo his report of the Investigation Into the
alleged Irregularities In the management of
the hospital funds of that railway and in
the wage schcdulo case with the United
States court on September 1. This will be
followed by the filing of a lengthy report
by Martin Dolphin , attorney for the Order
of Railway Telegraphers , In which ho will
take several Important exceptions to the
master's report.
The report of Master-ln-Chancery Cornish
lum been finished , but will not be given out
for publication until It Is presented to the
court. Attorney Dolphin arrived jesterday
from tlm east , and stated in the after
noon that hevhad examined the master's 10-
port. The employes feel that certain points
that were made against the management
of the hospital department did not re-celvo
fair consideration Exceptions will be taken
to both the reports In the- , hospital and In
the wugo schedule casca.
In the report of Maflter-in-Chancery
Cornish It will appear that ho found no one
guilty of maladministration In the medical
department. It will bo recommended that
tl.o fulturo management of the hospital
funds , for the support of which all employes
of the Union Pacific , from mefsenger bojs
up to general manager , are assesbcd 40 cents
a month , be E > O arranged that an accounting
of the tecclpts nnd the disbursements be
mnde quarterly. If demanded by the con-
tilMuors to the hospital fund. This la the
most Important point which Attorney
Dolphin In his bill of exceptions will ask
the court not to tndorao. Ho Is of the
opinion that an accounting of the funds
viiudc up of the monthly contributions of the
omplojes ohould he tendered at least every
three months without any oftlciaJ 'demand J
by the employes. Ills bill of exception or
this point will take the stand that the em-
Vlo > es should not bo compelled to take the
Initiative In securing 'u mport of the col
lection and disbursements of their own
moncjs. The bill of exceptions will Insist
that the court should make the quarterly
reports of the hospital monejs mandatory ,
nn , 1 that they be Issued quarterly to the
contributor without action on their 'part
for seeming such report.

Some time ago The flee announced that
the Santa Fo railroad had decided to glvo flrit
cbolco of berths In sleeping cars to passen-

orn iflllrotda were considering the advisabil
ity of adopting the same rule. A local
paper and the Koneinl parscnger agent of a
local railroad denounced the article OH a
In a letter to The lice , W. J. Black , gen-
oml | U88C'iigcr agent of the Santa Fo rail
road , writes regarding this matter ag fol
lows : "Our agents at prominent points on
our line where sleeping cur reservations can
ho obtained were Instructed by letter to
the effect that while they could accept ro-
aucsts for reservations for paraongeiH holdIng -
Ing frru transportation , actual reservations
must not ho nude until our paying traffic
was token care of for that date , It Is my
belief that our paying passengers are enti
tled to uuch consideration , and as our man
agement It ) of the- same opinion , I do not
think that there Is nn > thing fuither to adJ
to the matter. "

not using at present. They will be used by
tiio iilihorii until Its ruuh of business Is
over or until It can secure sufficient locomo
tives of Its own to take their places.
tin I nn I'nolllo KiitiTM n Denial ,
The Union Pacific passenger departmenl
emphatically denies that It la responsible
for any demoralization In rates to the Crane
Army encampment at Duffalo , as annnouncei
from Chicago , The trouble has apparently
Iwon brought abcut by tbo use of old am
inferior standard coaches by llnea operating
cither Pulliran or Wagner cam an tourtat
cars. Thu use of theao old coachm which
hid been standing idle ulnco tbo World's
fair , was made at the tlmo of the Christian

plaint whatever at that time.

quire an inquiry by the government Inspector
specter of hulls , Captain J. W. Bryant , to
dctermlnn the f.icts of the wrecking of the
steamer Mexico at the entrance of Dlxou's
sound. It Is stated with seeming authority
.that the rock which was the cause of the
Mexico's undoing was West Devil rock and
that It shows on the chaits. The first ac
counts of the disaster are to the effect that
tlio rock was hidden beneath the waves and
was not ( ? own on the charts DKon's sound
Is on the Inside route to Alaska and hab
been considered an open highway.
It was stated yesterday on the authority
of Dr. G. Anderson , a passenger on the
Mexico , that the steamer's course was
changed so as to send It outside In the hope
of saving sixteen hours on the trip The
change was made by the captain as a result
of a petition circulated by the Christian En
deavor excursionists on the boat , who were
anxious to reach Seattle before the time
limit of their return tickets to the east had
expired. Pilot Cornell Is nn experienced
navigator and has been employed In these
waters for a number of years. He was on
watch and Captain Thomas was in his state
room. Whether Pilot Cornell was negligent
or miscalculated the course will only be de
termined by the Inquiry now In progress.

order preventing City Treasurer Droadwell
from cashing certain warrants drawn In
favor of Peter Lcnach for the removal of
garbige The court Issued the order and set
Wednesday morning , August IS , AS the tlmo
for the hearing of the case.
The attempt on the part of Kelly to over
ride the majority of the council In the set
tling of this girbigo matter wns ono of the
principal topics of conversation on the streets
yesterday afternoon. Mayor Ensor said.
"The general fund out of which these war
rants to Lcnagh were to bo paid Is for gen-
civil purpose * and ran be u cd for any pur
pose deemed be t by the members of the city
council Tor InManee , the two additional
policemen recently appointed will hive to
be paid out of the general fund , for the rea
son that the amount allowed for the support
of the jmllco detriment U not sufficient
K\ery one knows th.it the general fund Is
provided for just such purposes , and Kelly
might to know that. The public health de-
nnnded that this garbige be icmovcd and It
was ordered taken avvay by the smltary In
spector. In inch ca e a written notice was
sened and Lcnagh performed his work In
good faith When the pavement at the In
tersection of Twentieth and N streets caved
, In the rtjMlrs cost about Jl.i > 00. and this
.amount waa paid out of the general fund No
complaint was made about tills , us It was
something that could not he delayed until the
next levy 1 hutdly think that the couit will
piy any attention to Kelly's position when
the facts are hid before 11. Kelly knew this
'
matter was coming up at the meeting Mon
day night , but he pmposcly absented himself
from the meeting "
Councllmin Vafsant of the first ward con-
[ sldercd that as Lonagh had performed the
work ordered done he was entitled to his pay
He said "This work was done In good faith
and the garbage master Is entitled to bin
, pay Possibly he did not earn the full
amount of hts claim , which vvna $133 , but
tlie council cut tills bill to $700 and allowed
It. I do not think any thing will come of the
case when It geta Into court "
Councilman Mort of the Fourth ward
"livery one know a that the general fund Is
created to pay the expersos of the city not
provided for by a spcchl levy. This work
was ordered done by the sunltnry Inspector
and It should bo paid for The city can and
'will iccovor the amount from the property
owners , us the city attorney has been In
structed to commence civil suits to collect
the amount The taxpayers will not lose
anvthing by It. an I am satisfied evciy cent
will he collected and turned Into the treas
ury This action on the part of Kelly Is no
more than 1 expected "
Councilman C.ildwell of the Tourth'ward
"Under the sanitary ordinance Inspector Car
roll has a tight to older garbage and night
soil removed He ° erved writttn notices for
the removal of this refuse , therefore the city
Is responsible foi the work performed
Lcnagh could , In my opinion , sue the city
and collect hlu pay provided the amount wna
not collected from the property owners The
geneial fund Is for the purpose of paying all
debts Incurrc-d by the city not otherwise pro
vided for The notion of Kelly was unwar
ranted and uncalled for. "

I There was no evidence at hand to prove that
