There Is now building nt West Point , on n
projecting bluff overlooking the Hudson
monument , cotn-
river , n very Impressive
mctnorntlng the mnrtlal history of the coun
try On n dimple square base n shaft rises
to a height of about sixty feet nbovo the
plateau The body of the shaft la UV6 feet
long , C1 feet In diameter at the base and 5
feet 214 Inches nt the top , nnd consists of
n single shaft of red granite weighing
eighty-two tons The turning and polishing
-of this monolith was n veiy dlllleult under
taking on account of the tendency of the
stone to break under Its own weight , If sup
ported ut the ends only The work was done
by Norcrois Brothers of Worcester nnd New
York and Is fully described In the Engineer
ing Iticord The rough stone was very
heavy , weighing eighty-live tons , nnd ns the
work of dressing had to bo done nt the
quarry where the soil was n loose quick
sand n special shed was constructed for the
operations A solid timber platform was
first bulli about 20 Inches thick , BO feet long
and 20 feet w'de. On this was erected a
strong framework , about fifteen feet high ,
on whleh were two pulleys The middle of
the shaft was supported by wire ropes from
these pulleys , nnd each end of the shaft was
supported on pillow blocks resting on a
jcrlbwork built upon a platform The
endless wire ropes supporting the middle of
the shaft were made In a special manner , as
ordinary spliced ropes broke after a few
hours' use The satisfactory ropes were
laid up like grommets A single strand In
ono of the spliced ropes was removed and
the end of n long new strand put In Its
place , then a second strand was removed
and the same new strand wound Into the
second vacant space , this process being con
tinued until n ring was formed with a hemp
core and n single strand ot wire The pul
leys on the upper platform from which these
ropes ran down to the shaft were revolved
by belting running to a temporary engine
plant , and In this way the stone was re
volved Owing to the temporary character
of the plant , It was necessary to provide
nn Ingenious system ot drawbar springs and
wedges so that the slack In the ropes could
bo taken up as soon as noticed The stone
was roughly dressed to shape by hand and
then the tool marks were removed by rub
bing the surface with "chilled shot , " very
hard little particles produced by blowing
cold air through a mass of melted Iron.
Thin shot was wet and pressed against the
stone by Iron blocks while the shaft was re
volved by the apparatus mentioned above
The polishing was done In the same way ,
using emery nnd putty powder In place of
the chilled shot. The entire work was done
under circumstances of peculiar dlfllculty ,
and Its BtieeeHsful completion was an Inter
esting engineering feat , especially In view
of the fact that the stone Is probably the
longest polished monolith nude. In this
country.

OVERLAND HOLDS THE KEY
Western Pasiengor Association Affairs Have
Beached a Critical Point.
UNION PACIFIC GETTING THE BUSINESS
An It Itrvill tlio Company Itefnv * lit Arc-opt

tlrory Uonrd nnd Ulll He main
u I'roo l.Hiirp.
CHICAGO , April " . ( Special Telegram to
The Bee ) from this on It will bo a battle
for blood btoween the Western Passenger
association lines and the Union Pacific The
Immediate- effects ot the rate war nro cer-
tnln to bo the partial or total ccllapso of
the Immigrant nRroetnont' and the West
ern Passenger association. After n week
of fruitless effort to ngreo on n division of
Immigrant business , the ndvlsory board to
day decided there wnn nothing left to debut
but to fight It out. It Is so manifestly Im
possible to save other rates with n war
on Immigrant rntcs that no attempt will
be made to maintain them. As matters now
stand every line Is practically a frco lance
Ono of the worst aspects of the case for
association roads Is that the Northwest
ern will hold to Its tralllc contract with the
Union Paclfle Instead of to the Western
Passenger association agreement In the
present temper of the roads the Northwest
ern cannot remain a member of the associa
tion ton days. Its resignation Is almost
certain during the week. In spite of this
the other association roads will work to
gether ns far "as possible , and \vhoro It can
do so the Atchlson will work In harmony
with them.
The can so of the disagreement has already
boon noted It lay In the fact that the Union
Pacific had contracted about SO per cent of
the Immigrant business nnd would not .accept
the proportion allotted to It by the advisory
committee In addition to this percentage
It would have all the business of the North
western , leaving very small picking for
other transmlsbourl lines This disagree
ment may end In a continuance of the pres
ent war In rates on first-class business. If
not , the rates will bo advanced only to bo
used as targets by competing lines from n
railroad standpoint the prospect never was
worse for a long and exhaustive rate war.
DUNDY 0 > JKNKINS.
Siiy.s the Decision \VIIH I'nlr and Iliisecl on
( oocl Law.
"I admire Judge Jenkins for his sterling
ability as a jurist , for his consistency and
his excellent judgment. " said Judge Dundy
to n reporter yesterday when asked his
opinion of Judge Jenkins' order. "Tho
strike clause of his Injunction order Is but
slightly modified. A great deal depends
upon the Interpretation of the word strike.
If It means , for the men to resort to violent
methods end destroy property or Interfere
with the operation of business , then they
.should be restrained from striking nnd thus
avert the sequel that would otherwise fol
low. If It means simply a peaceable , un
organized withdrawal from service , or the
right to quit on proper notice , that Is clif- '
ferent. Judge Caldw ell's Idea Is to glvo
them their own choice In the matter , and
If they ralbe trouble to punish them accord
ingly. Judge Jenkins' idea Is more of a
Judicial warning than a desire to muz/Ie the
men. If they Investigate Judge Jenkins
they will find that he has acted simply In
accordance with the dictate of his own con
science , and his superior knowledge of law.
Ho Is 1110 of the brightest and best men on
the circuit bench of this country. Presi
dent Cleveland appo'nted ' him district Judge
during his first term and promoted him to
his present position as circuit judge when
Judge Gresham created the vacancy by ac
cepting the position of secretary of state. "
.Men Arc Actholy nt "Work.
following close upon the heels of Judge
Caldw ell's decision regarding the wages of
road men on the Union Pacific the salaried
men began a campaign of activity Thursday
to secure a restoration In salaries which were
cut down September I last. Committees
were appointed by all the departments In the
headquarters building to take concerted ac
tion In bringing their case before the re
ceivers. Friday night n meeting of delegates
was held nnd a central committee to prepare
a petition to the general manager for restora
tion of balarles , this to be done In the event
that Judge Dundy In the hearing of the case
of the Hallway Employes union next Wednes
day refuses to restore the wages to the old
basis.
At the meeting frlday night the men were
unanimous In pledging their loyally to the
company , ono of the delegates voicing the
sentiments of the delegation when ho
stated that the movement was not made to
hamper the receivers In any vay , but as a
matter of right In view of tlio opinion of the
circuit court handed down on Thursday.
Nothing will be done as to the petition un *
til tlio action of Judge Dundy Is seen Wednes
day. _

the meeting was to discuss tne dates on

was thought that It would bo some time In

have the first chance , nml July I a return
match would be played on the lionu
grounds with the same club
It was reported that the grounds In
Kotlntze Place were hi good condition , havIng -

made The next thing on the program
was the payment for this. The bill was ,

and the discussion was waxing warm when
Mi. Trank Kemp came to the rescue nml
told the tren.sn ! or to. diaw on him for $ M

TO SAVE IT FROM VfflECK
Fonuilatiou of Now Federal Building Must

It seetns quite prolmblo that unless of
fectlve measures ore adopted regarding the
foundation ot the new federal huldlni ! |
Omaha will be burdened with n pitohod up
structure similar to the ono which dlsgraeoi
Chicago. The Bee has heretofore staled that
running springs exist on the govcrnme'nt
square , and City nnglneer Uoxcwatei has re
peatedly shown that the ground was not ol
the nature to penult the building of a heivy
structure there unless the greatest care was.
exercised In constructing the foundation.
The men who were superintending the pro
llmlnary work and who secured their np
polntmcnts because of politic U proton-noes
ridiculed these warning ! ! , but now Inspector
Cluss , ono of the oldest ami best Informud
engineers In the employ of the govortimcMit
Ins filed his report with the sttpoivlnlUK
architect , and he calls attention to ( he very
same faults that have boc n pointed out in
Thu Bee In the pist. When Inspector CluJs
was In Omahi making his examination ho
frequently consulted with 'City ' IJnglnoor
Uosew.Uer , and has adopted some of tlie
suggestions offered by that gentleman In his
report to the government authorities
This report synopsl/ed , N.as' printed In
The Bee yesteidiy.
In speiklng about the matter yesterday
afternoon the city engineer said that tlr
best way to now remedy the trouble. In his
opinion. Is to build a drainage ditch clotr
around the building , outside and lo\ui tlnrti
the foundations This ditch should bo colt
structed of ungla/ed , op n-Jolnted tiling and
covered with gravel The How of water Is
not from seepage or leaking sewers plpe
and wells , ns has boon repintcdly alleged
but Is a steady How of water , Indicating tlio
existence of springs west of the structure
One of these ( lowing veins was dlseou'i 1
when the new telephone building was In the
course of construction , and there Is thought
to be a strong vein of water nnderiu.ith the
soil west and north of the 'edornl building
site Tlio action of tills watoi , as xlioun lu
the report of the Inspector , has caused ln <
walls to settle unevenly and unless tinII i\\
of water under the foundations can b
stopped the walls will settle in such a manner
nor tint they will bo damaged It Is mig
gestcd by n competent engineer who has c\
nmlned the ground that if a trench Is dug
around the foundation of sufficient capacity
to cany the water Into n well at the north
east corner of the building and It Is II en
pumped Into a sewer constructed for that
purpose the dnugoi may bo averted
When the excavat'ons were made for the
walls It was advised that a subfoundatlon
be constructed of piles , but the supervisors
of this work concluded that n cement or con
crete foundation would provo strong enough
The present sewer on Sixteenth street Is ono
belonging to the old sanitary system of the
city nnd Is not large enough for thlx purpose ,
but one connecting with the Chicago street
bower could be built with nmple capacity for
this purpose.
The city englncei contends that If the
right principles were followed In the first
place there would bo no need for all this
patchwork. The present foundation cannot
be made unyielding nou , and 11 is going to
require time to demonstrate whether or not
this underground How can bo stopped Such
a mabslvo structure nt > tlio proposed new
federal building requires a uniform hettlo-
jnent of the foundations , and It Is now
thought that this will not be/ the c.asu In
