Oct. 4.-t8pcclaU -"The j fight againat Cuban reciprocity la to be re newed t the coining extraordinary session uf congress in a manner that will ahow a United front against the treaty." Thla startling statement was made by a repre sentative of the beet sugar Intereata In Washington today. According to thla In formant the fight will he made for purpoaca vt delay during the extra session, and every expedient known to parliamentary law will be Invoked to send the treaty between Cuba snd the I'nlted States over to the reg nlnr session, which by operation of law foe Bin on the flrat Monday In December. Pur ine the aummer It la learned that an active campaign hue been carried on among those who are lukewarm upon the question of. reciprocity. Just how much progress the opponenta of Cuban reciprocity have made since the adjournment of the laat congress la problematical. The heat augar manufac turera do not hesitate to Bay that they ex pect to postpone action until the regular session, and they hope that with the aid of general legislation they will be able to defer action en the measure until late In tbe spring, thereby being aeeured of another crop. It la expected that Congressman Llttlefleld of Maine, who la a pronounced antagonlat to reciprocity, will lead in the fight on the floor of the house of represen tative againat the measure. He will have aa Ma lieutenant Jamea A. Tawney of Mln tieaota. who It la atated haa not changed hla vlewe little bit on thla queatlon. The Michigan delegation will In all probability Una up againat reciprocity aa they did in the Flfty-aeventh congress. Aa to the leadera of the oppoaitlon to reciprocity .In the aenate there ia much subject for epeculatlon. The . representative of the beet Intereata above referred to. who waa in Washington thla week for tbe purpoee of quietly looking over tha ground and aeelng Juat where the moat telling blowa could ba put In againat Cuba aid that the aenate leadera would be kept In the background until after the houae had hown tta hand.

President Roosevelt la committed to Cuban reciprocity and the call which ha will laaue within a lew day convening congreaa In extra ordinary aeaalon will Bet forth In tinmlatak- aoie term inai it ia iot in purpose 01 v-uu-rludlng the pact between Cuba and the Vnlted States. In addition to the president tila cabinet la alao committed to the recip rocal duties Included In the treaty, and the leading republicans of both aenate and houae are actively at work to bring about tha ratification of the treaty which the aenate In extra aeaalon laat aprtng ratified, but which for good reaaona waa sent to the houae becauae of changes made in existing tarlffa between Cuba and the United Statea. Thla array of leadera. however, does not eem to dlamay the repreaentatlvea of the Independent beet augar growera. and with the fall of the gavel on November , signal ing the beginning of the extra aeaalon of the Fifty-eighth congreaa, the beet growera of the I'nlted Statea outaide the Sugar trust will be here in fore and a merry war In augurated. - Open "bop I Dlaeossed. There la no denying the act that the hosts of men who wear a union labor badge are greatly exercised over Presi dent Roosevelt's laat atatement declaring fgnreservedly In favor of the principle of an "open ahop" ao far aa the several d parttnents of the government are con cerned. IUa recent pronouncement on the now famoua Miller caae haa given the lead era of union labor something most unex pected to think about and the manner In which Prealdent Gonipera of the American Federation of Labor and hla associates answer tit prealdent shows the serlousrietA of the altuatton. The Miller caae may te an Important factor in the approaching presidential election unless the very wlaest counsels should prevail. There are those who believe that Prealdent Roosevelt's stand In favor of the man who tolls lrre spectlve of whether he la or la not a member of a union will result In a reforma tion of the line upon which the American Federation of Labor Is created. The pres. ident'a atand will In a short time be aub ject of debate In every council of organised labor throughout the country. Hot heads will endeavor to pass resolutions deroga tory to the president and hla administra tion will com In for scathing criticism. It la therefore to be hoped that before any decisive action la taken that the Miller - ess in all lta phases shall be thoroughly understood. As the outgrowth of the agi tation in th Miller cas Public Pi Inter Palmer haa appointed a commute of on representative eaeh from th several di visions Included In th government print ing office for the purpose of reporting price at present In vogue, together with recommendation aa to future cost of print ing, bookbinding, stitching, typesetting, etc. It la a fact that th price regulat ing boukblndlng in th government print ing onVe are virtually th aame aa tho adopted Immediately after the close of the civil war.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Compiroller Grout today iasued n statement In regard to tlio statement made yesterday by Mayor Iaw to the effect that Mr. Grout had once sug gested to him the possibility that he might be offered Tammany nomination, but that. In that event he would continue to sup port Mr. Low. His suggestion. Mr. Ixiw said", he did not regard seriously. Mr. Grout says In part: "I think that Mr. Low will recall another conversation with me about two weeks ago. I told htm that the talk of an Indorsement by Tammany seemed to be coming from various directions. That I had deemed it Impossible, but now began to seem pos sible, though' I could not yet think It probable. 1 said I could receiver It only if made unconditionally, and that I would not permit it to alienee me In the cam paign; that under these conditions Ii fceemed to me thai It would be a tower of strength to Mr. Iviw that I might properly accept. Mr. Ixw distinctly assented to thla view. 1 wish people to recall that one week ago Mr. Cutting said the same thing, that is, that he could ae no reason why auch a'i endorsement made without conditions should not be accepted. I auppoa I may not complain. If durlrg the past week' Mr. Imw and Mr. Cutting, Under the Impulse of Mr. Piatt. Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Bruce. hav revised their opinions. Laat Monday 1 told Mr. Low that the only alternative fairly left me waa either to accept all nominations and endorsements, or else de cline all. Including the fusion. He then re fused to listen to such a declination, and it was at his suggestion that the formal notirlcationa proceeded that day. If he wer ver to have taken the position he now take ii would have been fairer to have taken it a we;k ago. "'The mayor concedes, therefore, that ho did not protest when I mentioned to him the proposition that the acceptance of democratic endorsement would aid lilm be cauae it would b ti helpful endorsement of the fusion administration. I feel sure that when he recalls the conversation I now bring to his attention, 1. will admit that he ttvm thought that such an endorsement would lie a distinct advantage to him in the campaign. By the action of the demo cratic convention Mr. Low haa gained that tactical advantage. He has gained all he can gain thereby, hetlier Mr. Fornes and I are retained on the fusion ticket or not. And. having won the advantage which he la quite willing should bo won for him. it seems he la now willing, at a demand in apired by T. C.

The state de partment of labor In Its Quarterly Bulletin attributes the diminution of the unprece dented degree of employment and wages re ported In June is almost wholly to labor disputes. "The lockout In the building trades of Manhattan and Bronx boroughs of New York," It says, "overshadowed all other disputes of the summer and threw several wage earner out or work." In general, the Bulletin holds that, exclusive of the building trades. New York industries were generally as active In the summer of 1902, which was a banner year. According to the Bulletin, Immigration thia summer has exceeded even the record breaking current of laat year,' and Indicates the eagerness of the low paid laborers of central, and southeastern Europe to enjoy tbe prosperity which, on the whole,' still rejgna In th United Statea. . The largest contingents are still th Italians. Poles and other races of southern and central Europe, with a low Standard of education. Not withstanding th great tide of immigration the superintendent of tbe state free employ ment bureau In New York City states at lfo time during the quarter was he able to meet the demands for domestic help. "Prosperity Is so widely diffused," says the -Bulletin, "thst the servant-keeping class Is larger than -ever before, and has thus created a demand that exceeds the supply."

Purser Blakefleld, one of the survivors of Hackle)-, who was on the steamer Snoboy gan when It reached here, gave a vivid de scription of the wreck. He said: "Tha squall struck us about ( o'clock when we were Just north of Green Island. It came suddenly and with terrific fury. I was In the pilot house with the captain, who had Just said that the elements looked threatening and that he would try to run to port. When the first fierce gust hit us the captain tried to throw the boat up into the water and his efforts to do so were un availing. Then I Joined him at the wheel, but our combined efforts wer not sufficient to make It answer the helm. "Then of a sudden It lifted and began to fill" with water. Realizing that the pas sengers and crew were becoming panic stricken I left the captain in the pilot house and ran aft to let down the lifeboat. By the time I got aft Hackley was filling ao rapidly that It waa apparent It would be impossible to launch any boat. There came another fierce blast and the upper works went by the board. Then tho steamer began to sink rapidly, and It was apparent Its settling on the bottom would be a question of only a few moment. "Eighteen of the nineteen people aboard were gathered on the deck, most of them in a state of frantic panic. Aa the boat sank. It was clear that there was only one hop of any one being saved and that was by clinging to-the wreckage. I gave orders for the men to put tho women on it ilrst. They did so, mid behaved well, every man remaining on the sinking boat until the women had been placed on wreckage. It waa then a wild scramble on the part 'of each man to get such pieces of planking as he could secure and cling to It. ' Captain Stay nt Post. "Every man found something to float on except th captain, who remained In th pilot house to the last, doing his best to right the boat, and he finally went down with it. "We floated on different pieces, and for a few minutes we were In sight of each other, but soon darkness came on and we sep arated. The last persona that I saw. except for those with me, were the two Vincent glrla from Egg Harbor, who were floating I together. They seemed to have recovered 1 entirely fr.om their first fright and were muklng a brave struggle for their Uvea, a struggle which It now seems was In vain. "Those of us who were fortunate enough to escape clung to the wreckage all night, bitten by the. cold wind and benumbed by the colder water, and the surprise ia that wu did not all die of exposure. We drifted, I know not where, until picked up by She boygan." Captain J. E. Johnaon of Sheboygan, which picked up the survivors, said: "This morninc when near Strawberry Island I saw wreckage which I knew waa fresh, and began to aearch the surroundings in order to discover the survivors if there were any. Down near Green Island I dis covered five persons clinging to wreckage and got them on board after considerable difficulty. Soon I discovered two other men on different pieces of planking and also succeeded in getting them on board. The men were in a state of g.-euf exhaustion and the condition of some of them Is still serious." Hackley left Menominee, Mich... late Saturday afternoon and was hound for Fish Creek awl Green Bay.

If the Intention of the council Is carried out a section, of Nineteenth street Just north of the Intersection of Mason street will be turned over to the railway. Thla will cause the closing of Nineteenth at that point, as that portion of the street will be the prop erty of th company. A viaduct will be built across Mason street near Nineteenth, but none will be built serosa Nineteenth. The lot belonging to Relchenberg will not Join the contemplated right of way of the company, but all traffic will be suspended on Nineteenth street on account of the closing of that thoroughfare In the vicinity of the petitioner's property, and thia he thinks will csuse his land to depreciate In value. City Attorney Wright gave it as his opin ion that the Injunction would not be madd permanent, although the question has never been definitely decided in the courts of this state. A like Injunction was at one time dissolved In the courts of Iowa. The city attorney said he believed the only redress Relchenberg could claim would be secured by a suit for damages against the railway company. W. D. McHugh. attorney for the railway company, said he was quite confident thnt the injunction would not operate to prevent the passage of the ordinance. The railway company hus acquired title to all the prop erty abutting on that portion of Nineteenth street which It Is desired to vacate. Mr. Relchenberg asserts that a foreign railway company has no right under the law to ncqulrc real estate In the state of Nebraska, but Attorney McHugh contends that a company has such a right where It has complied with the laws of the state by Cling its articles with the proper authorl tlei of the state, in that manner becoming a domestic corporation.
