FEAR THE TUNNEL WILL CAVE. Danger Which Threatens People Who Ride on Ohicago Cable Cars, STUCK ON THE TOWEZR BUSINESS. Eiffel Makes a to the World's Fair Wyoming ' Garden Proposition Mas " s inoan ldea— City Nows, Cuicaco Bunear or Tie Beg, | Ciicaco, 1L, Aug. 25, § There is danger of a cave-in at both the Lasalto streot and Washington street tun- nels, through which thu cable cars pass con- antly elghteen hours out of the twenty- four. The wet and dripping walls of both tunnels, especially thatat Washington street, have oxcited much comment among the patrons of the two cable systems, Commis- sioner Aldrich has notified the street car companies of the situation and has d that something must be dons at once. BIVFEL'S TOWER Pl Tho worla's fair commission has received 8 plan from Mr. Eiffel of Paris for building o tower at the world’s fair here. It is said 10 be doubtful whether Eiffel's proposition will help the directors out, What they wanted is a design for a tower with money back of it. Kiffel doosn’t exactly propose Lo furnish the funds. He tells them he will como over aud build tho tower, furnishing tho material, for so much money. ‘Ihe ap- proximate estimate is 1,250,000 Today the proposition will besubmitted to the ways and means committeo, which has jurisiction over ull matters pertaining to towers, A WYOMING IDEA, . L. Staub of Choyenne, Wyo., sends the exposition management a design for a tower 1,500 feet high, to be made of great trees or logs placed one upon auother, with a log cavin on top, which he says “will be ne sury as a shelter aguinst storm aud rain as a refreshment plac BABYLON'S I1AN The hanging gurdens namo given by Bernard Jacoby to a novel structure which he woala like to erect in the world’s fair grounas. Tho plans are for two stecl und glass buildings, 150 feet long, 50 feet wide and 00 feet high, to be arrunged on cables between steel columns, one Lo be sus- pendea in the air while the other is on the grouud, the weight of one to balance the othor. The originator of the plau estimates the cost at £00,000. DEAD LOADS OF MATERIAL, Building material for the imitation battle ship Illinois is arriving on the grounds Already the gigantic dimensions of this monarch are outlined. Thirty cars of material for the administra- tion and transportation of buildings arrived at tho ground yesterday. Members of the grounds and buildines committee say the loop system of terminals has not been abandoned. Chief Burnham was simply instructed to submit plans for the ‘‘stub-end” system and that action did not necessarily imply that bis plans would be adopted. The “‘stub-end” system would effect a saving of from $00,000 to $500.000 and it may in the end be adopted, but 1t has not been yet. COMPLIME Chief McClaughrey res marked copy of the Paris Figaro of August 5, containing an cditorial comment on his efforts to introduce in the folico department tho Bertillion system of identyfying crimi- nals. The information for the article, which was highly complimentary, was obtained chiefly from Ferdinand W. Peck, now abroad with tho European commissioners of the world’s fair. ONLY A QUESTION OF DETAILS. Robert McCormick, secretary of the American legation 1n London and world’s fair commissioner for England, says that it is now only a question of details so far as England’s’ participation in the big show goes. “I know mothing defimte that’ been done in regard to preparing exhib- its,”” smd McCormick to the Eveniug News reporter this morning. **Very soon after our delegation left Loudon, Sir Henry Wood ‘went on his vacation. He will return and sail for America next month, Nothing in the way of preparing exhibits will be done until he returns from Chicago. ‘I'he object of his visit bere will be simply to look over the grounds, exawmine plans, space that will be availavle for exhibitions and in general to look over the arvangements so that he c make a report of his personal investigations Then English exhibitors will o at arrange- ment for their displays.” CORN FOR CHICAGO. Estimates that Chicago would receive 15,000,000 bushels of corn in Septembver glad- dened the hearts of the lake vessel men today. Corn has been going forward as rap- idly us it could bo gathered into cargoes and the prospect of au immense business is most assuring to profits on floating property. Today's receipts of 2,600 cars of grain were most” promising for @ big business by luke, Chartering vessels was vory heavy and capacity for not less than 1,000,000 bushels of vessel room was placed. Wheat has moved freely for the first time since the panic in ricos. Vessel men secured 205 cents for ail onts they hud Lo offer. ToIMOrrow & strong effort will be made to r tablish the 3-cent rate, the goal of the marine interest, EFFORTS OF WHEELMEN, Wheelmen ave already warmly discussivg the propricty of making the season of the world’s fair in 1503 u wemorable one for cycling. During the sumwmer months that year Chicago will be the center of the world and various conventions of various sorts will be beld here for the double purpose of tran- suoting annual business and sceing the Columbinn _exposition. A committee has peen formed and is now at work on the pre liminary arrangements whereby wheelmen from every nation will be brought hither to participate 1 the monster meeting. The associated cyeling clubs of the city have takon up tho question and ul v the pro. ramme has grown 1o extensive proportious, Tho committee thut has charge of the ar- rangements expects to raisea fund of 30,000 Of this sum, one-half will go towards meet- ing expenses and providing for the comforts of visitors. The remaining $15,000 will be spent in the purchase of prizes to be dis- tributed amoug the winners of the racing events.

Itis quite evident that fourteen of the members of the council do not know as much about vault fixtures as they thought they did, though they have spent a great portion of the day in looking at pigeon holes, racks, shelves, slides and other things of a hike nature, At o'clock accompunied by City Treasurer Rush, Deputy Comptroiler Coulter and City Clerk Graves the city law makers wendea their way to the third floor of the Paxton hotel, where the Office Spocialty company had ' its samples on exhibition. ~ An agent of the company, Mr. Dixon, welcomed the geutlemen and after passing around the cigars commenced oxplaining the catching quality of his goods and the bad qualities of the goods put up by the Fenton Manufacturing company. This took two hours and all of the time he argued that while his bid was higher, it was cheaper, owing to the superiov quality of the goous ho proposed to furmsh. His files were the best known to the trade and ove d those of the other company by a majority that was out of sight. The steel of which they were constructed was four guages heavier and 1,000 of his files bud & capacily equal to 1,200 of those made by the Fenton company. He proposed to furnish the city more for the same money than any oiher company on earth. After this Mr. Dixon began a_tirade upon the goods offered by his competitor and ended up by stating that if the councilmen would &0 through the schedules they would find bis bid the lowest. ‘The ofticers he said bad not been consulted as the wants of their oftices and the other concern had not dared to furnish a tabuluted statement of the cost of the various articles that it proposed to put iuto the new city nhall. Tho reason was that the company did not propose to furnish the quantity of work that it bid upon. Cigars were handed around once more and then Mr. Specht offered the suggestion that the coun- cil should seo the other samples. Mv. Tuttle threw out the suggestian that most of the councilmen had scen all of the samples of both companies and that it would be a good plan for both agents o meet the council aud have them explain the merits of nlmr £oods und what they proposed to sup- ply. ‘Agent Dixou was agreeable to such a plan, but before consenting to such a move he would want to know what articles the city would expect fur- mshed. Ho said = City Treasurer Rush had not been consulted wiih reference to the furnishing of the vaults in hie office and wouid like to hear from him. Then Mr. Dixon talked steel, rolled and pickled steel, while the councilmen looked wise and stated that they understood the tevms, After that they all talked while the agent explained that he proposed to use cold rotled steel, which was much more expensive than the pickled varioty and would give better satisfaction. He thought the city oficials woula be pleased with his outtit. ‘I'he councilmen told Mr, Dixon that they would see him later and then they journeyed to the second floor of the Millurd hotel, where Messrs, Thompson and MeNutt of tho Fen- ton had their goods ready for councilmanic inspection, Mr. Thompson broke the ice by saying that unlike some competitors he did not have gold and plated sumples to cast arouad the country to look at, His samples were goods that wero for actual use. They were going to Texus to be placed in the vauits in the state house at Austin. Upon the conclusion of this statement Mr. Thompson told the councilmen about the volled and the pickled steel. His goods were from the pickled asticle that always cost more than cold rolled, Mr. Davis took issue on the steel question and argued that the pickled steol was not al- ways better than the cold rolled. City Trensurer Rush was called to the front. He did not feol like giving an opinion on what should be put into the treasuver's office in the new city hall, as he expected to be a private citizen before the office would be turnished. He had been annoyed by some of his subordinates having taken an active part in suggesting what shonld and whut should not go into theoftice. Mr, Rush stated that both of the agents had seen him and received some suggestions in regard to the plans. Deputy Comptroller Coulter had made skotches for the Office Speciulty company, but had not seen the agent of the Fenton company, cousequently bis plaus did unot coincide with the ideas of the deputy. Mr. Sgecht deuounced the talk as a song and dance and thought that it should and at oue, as the people did not want any foolishness about the matter, 1f the company that submitted the lower bid would furnish all of the articles, and if they were as good as those bid upon by the other company, there could be no reason for not awarding the contract as soon as a good and suficient bond was preseuted. The agent again started in to prove that his goods were superior both in quality and finish and theu council aajourned, agreeing that it would be a dificult matter to detor- mine what to do in the premises. - A Conscientious Editor, We advertise at present for a firm whose preparations have proven to be all they claim in our owu family, Wo refer to Chawmber- lain's Colle, Cholora and Diarrhaa Remedy.

BZGINNING OF THE PASSENGER RATE WAR, Generally Believed That Numerous Western Lines Are Placing Lnrge Hlocks of Tickets in the Hands of Brokers, Cricaco, TI, Aug. The wostern ronds did u big passenger business toduy, but it is doubtiul if any of them will be able to show corresponding results in revenue, It was the first of the harvest and home-seckers ex cursions, and all the west bound trains were crowded with people taking advantage of the low rates to reach distant points in the north- wost and southwest. It 1s evident that the ticket brokers in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Paul will reap the highest benefits from this first excursion. In this city they announced one way rates as follows: To Denver, £20; Kansas City, £.50 Omaba, $10, and St. Paul, #7. Of course the man buying to any points at the rate named was required purchase of the broker a round triv excursion ticket, but he also received an order that eunbled him on reaching his destination to go 10 a broker and sell the return portion for an amount suftieient to reduce bis actual outlay t0 the figures quoted above. ‘The scalpers at each end of the line are thus enabled to make #lor#2 outof the deal and the purchaser saves from & to # on the regular one way fare. ‘The returu portions are good for thirty duys from date of sale, and as there will be more of tnese cxcursions, September 15 and 20, there is every oceasion to expect thut western passenge rates will be budly demoralized from this time forwacd until November I.
