The Secr ry forwarded their application to the Solicitor General, in the absence of the Attorney Gen- eral, who decided that the employes of govern. ment contractors are in no sense employes of the government and cannot be treated as such. ‘The President having recently directed the so- lieitor gencral to prepare an executive order reaftirming previous orders on the subject of the eight-hour law, was informed by the latter of his decision in relation to the Richmond la- borers; and should an executive order be issued, it will not probably cover similar cases. but will apply only to such employes as are under the direction of a superintendent appointed by the government. —+2ee--—__ Tue MORMONS TURNING THE TABLES ON THE GENTILES..

There will be two reports submitted to the Hoase— that of the majority being signed by Messrs. Starkweather, Poland, Cotton, Harmer, Wil- liame, Darrell, and Eldridge. and that ¢ minority by Messrs. Roosevelt and Cre reports will be submitted to the Hou ternoon or to-morrow. ‘The members of the committee are very reticent as to the content of the reports, and decline to allow the pablica tion of them until after they shall have been submitted to the House. It seems to be anitor stood, however, that the commiitee was anani mons in the opinion that a majority of the charges were not sustained by the testimony and especially the charge:! of frand and corrup- tion against the Board of Public Works, charge having beem abandomed by the memo rialists themselves. THE MAJORITY RECORT, it issaid, approves of the course of the Board of Public Works in improving the city, but find: some fault with the printing, and expresses thie opinion that the amount expended therefor wa= extravagant, though they do not believe the advertisements were given tor the purpose of subsidizing the press. The F street improve- ment they agree was for the benetit of the city, and not for the beneiit of any particular prop- erty thereon; they farther find that the Board of Public Works has not exceeded its authority in departing from the plans submitted by them to the legisiature; and that the 7th street im provement, although an expensive one, was Justifiable.” Asto ft ling ep the canal, the ma- Jerity approve of it as being beneficial to the city: they further agree that the Board of Pab- lic Works has had all the work done in as faith. ful and economical manner as possible. The majority, it is thought, will recommend that nal legislation be had, so that in all cases where Property has been injured by improve- ments, the holders thereof sliall be reimbursed for such injury; and secondly, that asthe United THE MINORTY will report that in their opinion the Board of Public Works under the organic act is required to make improvements under appropriations b the legislature, and the $4,000,000 loan is being expended without regard to ‘the general plan submitted to the legistatare by the board; the F G, Vith, Isth, and 19th streets improvement: were cstimated to cost $90,000 have cost M), and $50,000 more will be required to complete the work; the 7th street improvement which was estimated at €25,000 has already cost $165,000. The contingent expenses of the ¢ trict government forsix months were #20," a larger sum than was expended by any state in the union. They turther report that the dis trict government employs six hundred officers at an annual salary of $600,000; that the original plan submitted to the legislature wasincomplete, and that in many instances after work was com- menced under it, the grades were changed to the inconvenience and expense of property holders. In reterence to the canal, the minority will re- port without expressing ‘any opinion as to the propricty of filling it up that the work was done Without authority of law; that the act under which it was done was tor dredging and walling up the canal, and th work was commenced, tbat they were authorized to open the James’ creek canal only upon condition that the old canal should be dredged and ope: that the giving up or the oid City Hall and renting the for building, Metzerott hall, and. the building at 17th street and Pennsylvania ave- nne was without authority of law, as also the tion of the Board of Public Works in appoint- ing one of their number treasurer, who received the proceeds of the $4,000,000 loan. ‘The minor- ity, it is thought, will recommend that the or ganic act be amended so as to provide that all the district officers, with the exception of the governor, shall be elected, and that members ot the Board of Public Works, after being elected. shall give bond, and that all moneys shall be deposited with the district treasurer, and drawn upon proper warrant.
