The citizens ot Des Mollies arc very much
pleased to-night over the news that the house
ot representatives had to-day passed a bill
appioprlatlng 3151,000 for additional Iin-
piovement of the federal building In this
city. The building had long been Inadequate
to tlio neuds of tlio government .servlco lieie ,
and bevoial smallappiopiiatlons.agcicgatlng
about Sl .OOO , had been granted for enlarg
ing It. Tno work began on the enlargement
last fall , and with this additional appropria
tion it is expected to make the building twlco
the sl/e. It will be four stoiles high , sur-
inounicd with a mansard roof and clock
tower , and will be one of the handsomest
public buildings in tlio west.

ceeded at once to the capltol and took the

The general feeling of uneasines as to the
probable couise ot labor organizations is beIng -
Ing leltAery disastrously In this city. Con
tractors who had expected to undertake a larco
amount of building aio held back by tlio un
certainty of their being able to complete it
Tlio bifcklaj ors are generally demanding a
chance to nine hours , and common laboiurs
threaten to stilke if they can't ha\o ten
horns' pay tor eight hours woik. Under tlio
ciictimstances theielore. the effect upon
business is very bad. There is , of course ,
considerable building going on , but not what
would bo under way if there was not this
general distrust of labororganlzations. homo
public Avoiks that have to be pushed arc beIng -
Ing carried on , but private enterprise is lag
ging. The work on the federal building is
progressing well , and \\liontho repairs and
alterations arc completed Des Monies will

Tin ; STATE man SCHOOL CONTEST
was the center of Interest the past week for
thousands of Iowa's jonng orators. The
state high school association has maintained
an annual contest , at which prlzobbavo been
awarded tor excellence in the diffcicnt
branches of elocution. This year about a
dozen schools sent their repiesontatives to
Des Molnes to participate In the contest , and
the laigcst opein.house in tlio city was packed
with their friends and best withers. Any
thing that luteieits the schools of Iowa al
ways iccelves rt genciotis support , and so
this intcicht , prolonged for four mortal
houis , hardly closed nt midnight , held an Im
mense crowd as easily as the ciicus holds the

to DCS Molncs. The local schools leel qulto

Mr. 8. 13. ilooie , an old and highly es
teemed citizen , died heio last night uom in-
jinius icceived at tlio hands of foot pads a
few weeks ago. llo was assaulted by sand-
baggcus lust as ho was entciing his own
gate on his return fiom his btoio In the oven-
ing. Ho was Knocked down and robbed ,
and being over sixty \caisot imo was unable
to rally fiom the Injmies icceived , and died
as stated above. Tlio citizens ot HIM waul In
which this murder wai committed are vciy
Indignant at the outiago , and would maUo
Bhoit worlcof the ( lends who pcrpetintcd it
jt they could bo detected. 1'hciu is a gencia
feeling ot Indignation throughout tlio city a
the lax way In which tlio criminal laws aio
cnfuiced and the almost total lack of police
protection which tlio people icceivo. Tlio
jatul assault that was made upon Mr. Moore
might bo repeated without ditllculty upon a
hundred other citizens with equal Impunity.
I'lio lesldeuco portion of the city is entirely
without police protection , and every citizen
has to Kiiardhlmself as host ho can. It Is not
umimial , therefore , nfU'T the many cases of
Kandbngging that have recently occurred , to
II ml business men who arc compelled to bo In
the streets after dark , marching along with a
trusty Smith it Wesson , sweeping thu air
within range , leady to shoot nt the slightest
provocation.
TUB NEW PENSION AGENT.
Capt. O. S. Lake , the now tionslon agent
for Iowa and Nebraska , has uirlved In the
city and will take possession of his office ns
soon as Ids bond is approved. Ills appoint
ment was a 1:1 eat surpusn to the democrats of
the btato as he had never been considered a
party man , in lact was unknown to the leadIng -
Ing democrats of Iowa. This place , the be.st
lice in tuo state , It was naturally
would be given to some democrat
who had won ronovvuby Jong and faithful
service to tlio democracy. IJut Instead It goes
to a nmn a country lawyer who has done
nothing for tlio pa ty and gives promUo of
doing little more. Said a prominent demo-
ciat , ' 'Lake's appointment w illdo ns no moio
iro'xl than tlio appointment of ncadet nt West
J'olnt or cicik in n department at Washing
ton. " It \ \ 111 bo readily seen , therefore , that
the democratic party in lovui , at least. Is not
being built up very fast by tlio appointments
so far mode. This boleeticn Is lesarded as
ono of the customary bUipiiscs of this admin
istration. Mr. Lake stated blnco ho nirlvcd
lieie , that ho was toldiu Washington that the
JJe * Molnes agency was conducted the most
economically of any In tlio United Status.
This is n > cry high compliment to Hon. Ja-

Mnlntnlnnd Ity the Ilrloklnyors To-
\vnrds thh Proposition of the
ContrActors.
There was hu 'increased number of
bricklayers standing around the corners
yesterday. All of them had given up
work and those1 questioned hnd made up
their minds to "remain out" untilithoy had
obtaitiod their point. Speaking to a load
ing member of t'.io ' Bricklayers' union , n
DKI : reporter asked :
"What do you propose to do with the
olTcr of the contractors ? "
"Wo propose , to light it if it takes all
summer , " was llio laconic reply. This
answer was w.umly assented to by a
number of the members of the ur < loti who
wore standing around.
Another member was asked ! "Aro you
opposed to the grading of bricklayers as
proposed by the contractors ? "
"I am certainly , and so is every other
bricklayer. "
"Why ? "
"Because it would not bo to our advan
tage to do otherwise. If wo lot them
grade us , there is little work to bo done
hi Omaha which cannot bo done by oven
the poorest bricklayers. If the grading
system should bo established , only tlio in
ferior class of men would bo employed ,
aud thu holler men would bo compelled
lo walk Iho streets unoccupied , or else
compelled to work at tlio lower price. "
Said another : "These contractors nro
grading us now. They are paying some
of us $ , " > a day now , and are satisfied to do
it. If they don't want to hire a man be
cause they think liu isn't worth the pay
ho demands , they are not compelled to
lure him. They know that as well as wo
do , because they have boon doing it all
along. "
NotwSlhslamling that there was a
number of bricklayers standing around ,
there were many others who were work-
fng , their employers agreeing to pay
them the rates demanded by the union.
Amoii" the contractors who were re
ported as paying tiio required rates were.
Jno. Twist , Delaney & lliloy , Wm.
Stevenson , Curry & Woodruff , John
Hooy , Omaha Tile and Terra Gotta com
pany and Thos , Yates.
The last mentioned , it was reported ,
was among the contractors who had pro
posed arbitration , but claimed to hold by
tlus offer only until Monday , lie had
withdrawn and was now paying tlio
Union rates.
The brick moulders arc at work , but at
the old rates of $2.50 per day.
The bricklayers' union will meet to
night , but members say it will not accept
the grading proposition of the contract
ors. Thoie seems to bo the greatest con-
iidonco on tlio part of tlio members that
on Wednesday morning , all the contract
ors wil | agree to tlio rates demanded , and
that tills talk of compromise has been in
dulged iu toaflord time to get new bricks
out of the kilns.

THE LATEST OF THE STRIKE.
A Itcsumo of the Local News of tlio
City for the Imst Twenty-
four Hours.
Hon. O. W. Dorscy.
Congressman Dorsoy it ! homo on n short
visit and was mot at the Paxlon yester
day by n HBK reporter , lie was inter
viewed as follows !
"What is tlio status of Iho Ft. Robinson
bill ? "
"Tho bill to appropriate $105,003 for
the rebuilding of Ft. Robinson has bct-ii ,
ns you know , reported upon favorably by
the entire committee on military affairs
in the liotiso , and is bound to pass. At
least , so far as lean sac , that is what will
bo done with it < A great deal of importance
is attached to the unanimous report of
that committee , and Bragg is actively
working nnd disposed to hnvo tlio wish of
thocommlltce carried out. I don't know ,
of couise , what action the senate will
take upon tlio bill , but my impression is
that it will ratify the sentiment of tlio
house , which , I think , is very favorable
to ils passiige. If the bill .should
not pass , then wo have another
means , an item in the general appropria
tion bill for ! ? 0-l,000. ( ) which la to bo ex
pended under the direction of the secre
tary of war aud tlio genoral-ln-chtof of
the army. This amount is intended for
repairs aud improvements of military
posts nnd other military necessities , ami
from that 1 feel a sulliclont amount can
bo sonurcd to make gopd our intoti' of re
building and the making serviceable efFort
Fort Robinson. No , there is not much use
of expecting Iho bill to bo antagoui/.ed
with regard to building the fortany moio
than thor'o would to prevent providing
foi' the payment of tlio soldiers.
"Tho port of Omaha bill ? Well ,
I have only read about the presi
dent's action in the mailer in the
newspapers. I supposed it was all right
and worked for it in ttie house , and never
anticipated the refusal of Mr. Cleveland
to sign it. I know that Senator Mander-
son'sought to got information fiom tlio
treasury department concerning the sub
ject , and that , having lailed for reasons
with which lain uutaniiliar , lie had re
course to the only expedient remaining
to legislate it through botli houses. No ,
I will not say that Cleveland's action was
based upon good and niudcntial motives.
It is just as Bland said , it is Wall street ,
and not the interests ot the people of the
west , which is controlling this govern
ment.
"With regard to the removal of Fort
Omaha , 1 know that the project is
quite popular in Washington. It has
been represented that the change
has boon deemed imperative because of
the want of room. Tliisfactcoupled with
the endorsement the project lias received
from the gencral-in-chiet ot Hie army , thu
bccretary of war and the committee on
military aftairs of tlio senate , give it a
prestige which cannot well be under
estimated. I think , too , it will hu largely
as General Crook desires. Ho wantou to
come here , and wq wanted to got him hero ,
and I think his wish will largely favor
the removal , and at the same time attach
considerable significance to it. No , I
know of no opposition to the move. "
"I can't tell j on where the land oflices
you speak of are to be located. I intro
duced a bill providing for the establish
ment of both. Senator Van Wyck intro
duced two bills at diflorout times provid
ing for the districts. Wo coin pared them
with tlio secretary of the interior , and
mine was so altered as to make it con
form moro correctly witli the county
boundaries , tlio map which I used not
giviuir the county outlines with unques
tionable accuracy. It was my bill sub
stantially that passed , establishing what
nro known as tlio Noithwcst and Sidney
land districts. Sidney very probably will
secure the land ollice of the latter.
Rushvillo , Chndron and Hay Spring arc
competing for tlio former. I can't say
which will secure , although I might have
mentioned the name of one in my bill.
Both Chndron and Hay Spiing arc repre
sented by strong delegations , and eacli
place is working for the ollice , the loca
tion of which is to bo designated by the
piesidcnt. ,
"Uli , don't ask mo about Sparkp. I've
been fighting him on account , of his do-
cinioiis. since 1 went to Washington ,
liis scheme of now examining the
thousands of proofs submitted is pro-
uoMoiou'i. The law allows thirty days

GOVKHSOU wnsr. OK UTAH.
Governor Caleb W. West , recent Ivan-
pointed governor of the territory of Utah ,
stopped over in lown yesterday , on his
way to Salt Lake , where ho is about to
asiiimo the duties of his official portion.
Ho was met last evening at the Paxton
hotel by a reporter lor llio KKK.
The goveuior is a gentleman about 42
years Ot age , of handsome presence , solid
physique , genial countenance and gen
tlemanly grace aud hearing. Ho
wears a light moustuciuj and
impoiial , with an expansive forehead -
head , reaching into nu expanse of bald
ness , which in turn is fringed
with a short growth of iron grey hair.
His nock is short , and when eject bunches
behind iu a fold , indicative rnussivo
power and endurance.
Ho had come , he said , from Notre
Dame , Ind. , wlioro lie had beou to bid
good-bye to his son , and , vvhilo acknowl
edging'to bo possessed of opinions as re
gard.s the duties to devolve upon , courte
ously asked to bo excused from giving
expression to them before mcoting
those whom they wore intended to pfi'cct.
Ho was exorcising tlio utmost caution in
thin respect. Nevertheless , ho would
say that mi had a knowledge of what was
expected of him UH the executive of the
territory of Utah , llo was going
there witli the intention of utili/ing that
knowledge in enforcing thu law , such as
ho foundit with reference to every resi
dent of the territory. Ho was earufully
keeping his mind aloof from any bins ,
and so intended to act when ho should be
inducted into his chair of ollico. Ho hnd
familiari/.cd himself witli thu require
ments of the F.dmunds bill , and also tlio
legislation which was now pending in
congress. As to whether ho thought tlio
former enactment was all that tlio situa
tion in Utah required , or ns to whether
tlio legislation proposed was necessary ,
ho would not state , His acts when ho
bhould reach Utali would bo the best
utterance to which ho could now refer.
The position of governor of Utali was
a most important ono. its it comprised
legislative ( eatuios in connection with
those of tlio oxooutlvo. Ho was Iho only
torritoiial goveuior who possessed nb o-
Jute veto power over the enactmonls of
the territorial legislation. This authori
ty , some time ago , had been also shared
by the governor of Aiizoua , but some
time since had been withdrawn from tlio
latter.
Ho was prepared to lind Salt Lake n
most delightful place in which to rusidn ,
and was disposed to enjoy it to the utter
most consistent will ) au honest and stu-
dious attention to the requirements of
his oflico.
Gov. West is n lawyer. Ho was born
near Cynthiann , tlio town from which bo
now leaves for Utah. This is the lirst
federal or state appointive position ho
lins hold , nnd witli the single exception of
judge of Harrison county , Kentucky , is
tlio only position lie lu > s hold of nu of
ficial nature. The governor lias been a
life-long democrat , aud is now ono of
Kentucky's leading members of his party.
Ho expects to moot ids predecessor , ex-
Governor Murray , in Salt Lake , where ,
lie understands , tlio latter intends to ro-
side.
side.The governor loft last night for his des
tination.
Sr.NATOU VAN \VTCIC.
The senator returned yesterday from
Wnsh.insr.ton and registered at the Pax-
ton. Ho spout thu evening in the
lotuuda ol the hotel , nnd for sev
eral hours was tlio object of the
respectful attention ami congratulation
on the part of the leading citizens of
Omaha as well as the leading members
of the Nebraska bnr called by business
before the United States district nnd cir
cuit courts.
The senator looks as cheerful , halo ,
hearty and agreeable as over. Ho bears
his honors easily , and ( hough .sought by
the tlnoug , demeaned himself as theme
mo t retiring gonlloman in all the ob
servant assemblage.
Late in tno evening , after Iho excite
ment incidental to the grand military re
ception to Gen. Crook , ho was Inter
viewed by a reporter for the Br.i : . Some
valuable information , especially upon
Iho bill of the boaid of Iradc ,
intended to supplant that of
tlio senator , was obtained
As tlio senator , however , is to speak
upon the bill in question before a meet
ing of our citi/.ens before long , the views
of the gentleman are temporarily with
hold.
The Ilrnlrcinpii Strike.
The long-expected strike on the Union
Pacific has come at last in tlio shape of a
walk-out on the part of the brakcmcn on
the western divisions. Their grievance
is supposed to bo llio now .schedule of
wages which tlio Union Pacific lias
adopted for its trainmen. Whilst no do-
in a ( ill s have j'el boon laid bofoio the gen-
ccal officers of Hie company , it is pretty
ceilain that the cause of dissatisfaction
is that mentioned above.
The telegrams which have so far boon
received at headquarters , relative to tlio
strike , arc meagre. A report to General
Superintendent , Smith fiom Division
Superintendent Dorrauco states that ail-
vices have been received from Cheyenne
that Iho brakcmcn on Iho Nebraska divi
sion at Cheyenne and the brakemen west
of Cheyenne , struck at O.'JO yesterday
the brakemen on the Nebraska division
striking first. Already the brakoincn
have commenced lo use force , and have
pent Ihc switch engines at Choyorino to
the house aud will not permit any
work to bo done in the jnrds.
Mr. Dorranco's report says that the
No. 2 overland is on time at Clioyenno ,
but will have to leave without any brakemen -
men , as the brakemen who do not belong
to the brotherhood , arc so intimidated
that they dare not run on the trains.
The conductors and engineers are still
working. No advices from Sidney or
North Platlo have been received ns to
whether the brakemen between North
Piatle and Sidney have struck.
It is nnticiputo.il , however , that
all the brakemen on the sys
tem will join in the "walkout. "
The obnoxious rules which arc so se
riously objected to by tlio brakemen and
other train men are contained in general
orders No. 03 , which were issued by Gen
eral Superintendent Smith to-dny. These
provide that the new scale of pay shall
be considered in effect dating from March
1. According to this , ficicht brakemen
on runs of 100 miles or more are to i ccei ve
2 cents per mile. On assigned regular
runs passenger brakemen are loieeoivo
from ! jJO ( to % .7o . per month. On short ir
regular runs brakcmcn , whether passen
ger or freight , aie to receive $2.17 uor
day.
rATisT ntoii Tin : STKIKI : .
Tlio lirst indications of tumble were
received at the Union Pacific headquar
ters on Saturday in a message fiom the
fifth district , between Cheyenne and
Lainmio , .statmglhal the brakoincn had
demanded that 13,000 miles constitute a
month's work for which they should Do
paid $05 ; that the division , which is fifty-
seven miles in length , should he counted
usoighty-livu miles , and that they be al
lowed 2.17 cents per mile for overtime in
stead of 2 cents as per the eompauy'.s
schedule. Tlio company practically
granted those dumnmlh. On .Sunday the
br.ikeinen ut the Idaho division met and
decided they would try the schedule
a wlnlo , tlio only opposition coming fiom
a brakemnn who was a delegate to the
meeting in this city recently. Tim prin
cipal trouble is with tiio brakemen at
L.uamie andClio.vRniie. At Cheyenne on
Sunday tlio braKomeu met and muilo
their demands , resolving among other
toings Hint brakemen should have
as much to say about the icg-
illation ol tiaiu crows as the conduct
ors. 'Ibis demand is considered absind
by tlio company , and if complied with
would entirely destroy all discipline
among the crews. TIKI fiftii distiict
brakemen struck on Sunday night , and
yosteiday made a demand that hcrealUir
2,000 miles should constitute a month's
work for"-0r > . and that all ot their other
grievances should bo fatisfied by the com
pany. They telegraphed ordering tlio
binkoiucii ta go out on all of tiio other
divisions , hill as yet tlio order has not
been complied with. About 150 men are
outat Cheyenne and Laramie , and all
freight trains on that division are tied up ,
Thosupciiintondont of the Colorado di
vision hold a very satisfactory mooting
witli the brakmnon of that division on
Sui'duy , and is confident that thoru will
bo no trouble ; tlioro. The brakcmcn nt
Laramie are interfering with tlio yards
and will not allow lie | company
to handle any freight , not oven
to move their perishable goods. Thu
Knights of Labor held a meeting at Lara-
rule at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
there is u probability that the strike may
bo extended further west. Thomas Mis-
ham. chairman of the uveoulive committee -
too of the Union Pacific branch of the
Knights of Labor , issued a.i order yeeler-
day dn octing nil of the members of that
order who are out to resnmo vvoikut once
and have their griavancc.s redressed hero-
after. The Kastern Nebraska , thu Colorado
rado and tlio Idaho divisions nro all light
and no further trouble is expected on
those divisions ,
The members of the Cheyenne Division

gent a telegram to the Union Pacific olli-
cials yesterday tendering their services ,
declaring tliulrallogianuo to ( ho company

pany in any emergency.
