TAILORS All luau.

They Are Still Fighting Over the
:Wage Scale in New ‘i’orx.

EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENTS.

Strikers Are Now Opposed to Making
Them and Insist-on Cash Bonds—Con-
tractors Glamor-ing For a Set-
tlement of the Trouble.

‘ __3—

NEW YORK, July 31.—The big strike:
of the coatmakers and the children’s jack-
et makers continued today with much ex-
citement. In fact, the denizens of the
garment making district on the lower east
side are in an uproar with the strike fever.

A merry war is on between the coat
tailors and the association contractors,
caused by the refusal of the executive
board of the Brotherhood of Tailors to
make an exclusive agreement with the
Coat Contractors’ association and accept
a single bond from the latter for the faith-
ful performance of the proposed compact

Having declared that it would settle
with each contractor individually, the ex-
ecutive board of the brotherhood arranged
with ex-Assistant District Attorney Brad-
ley and Lawyer Joseph Schulum to take
acknowledgments and receive the signa-
tures of contractors to an agreement drawn
up in legal form. Each contractor isre-
quired to give 350 or $100 in cash, accord-
ing to the number of men and sewing ma-
chines he empioys, or an indcrsed note.

Contractors began a clamor to sign at
once, so that they could obtain tailors and
go ahead with work that has been placed
in their hands by manufacturers who are
anxious to have it completed and put on
the market.

The strike has delayed the work of coat
making so that the season will be un-
usually short, especially for fall stock.

Kicked Against Cash Security.

Some Of the contractors who employ but
few workers dcmurred strongly against
giving cash security and threatened trou-
ble, but Mr. 'Bradley assured the brother-
hood omcers that the plan was legal and
the only one that would secure the work-
ers against possible loss and use the
contractors to live up to the ter i.‘ of the
agreement. Several of the contractors who
do a large business were ready to furnish
the necessary security at once.

Association contractors are holding off
to see what they can do, but it is the gen-
eral opinion that they would gain nothing
by opposition—in fact, if they delayed
signing they will Jose more time and the
opportunity afforded by the busy season to
make money.

The new scale of wages divides the
workers into two closes in each branch of
the trade, and ranges from $9 to $18 a
week of 59 hours.

The contractors in Brooklyn and
Brownsville are reported as rapidly sign-
ing the agreement and receiving the strik-
ers,baok in their shops. ,

The Pants Makers’ union will meet'in
New Irving hall, in Broome street, be-
tween Essex and Norfolk, and it is said
that the executive board will be empow-
ered to call a strike at any moment. Prob-
ably 17,000 garment makers are already
idle as a result of the big strike.

A PLOT FRUSTEA‘IED.

Cuban Political Prisoners Rented In em
' Effort to Escape.

MADRID, July 31,—The Havana corre-
spondent of The Impatciei telegvsphs
further details =3“ the ntbamftill rlsi 1-;
among the political prisoners confined or
the isle of Pines. From the detail: giver
it is almost certain that the riot would
have been successfully carried out had i:
not been unintentionally betrayed by a
woman through her anxiety for its accom-
plishment.

Since the outbreak of the insurrection 9.
great number of persons who were know:
to be supporters of the' rebels or who were
suspected of secretly aiding them have
been transported to the isle of Pines, whicl:
lies some 50 miles off the southwester:
part of Cuba. Among the prisoners are :
number of women, who, it is learned, took
an active part in the conspiracy. The pris-
oners are nominally confined in the inland
cities of N ueva Gerona and Santa Fe. the
capital, but they are allowed mere or less
liberty, according to the nature of their
offenses, strong military guards being em-
ployed to prevent the prisoners leaving
the cities and attempting to reach the
shores of the island.

It appears that some of the more des-
perate of the Cubans in Santa Fe conclud-
ed that if all the prisoners combined they
would be able to overcome their guard:
and make their way to liberty. Their plan
was to seize the arms of the troops while
the latter werr at church and then make
their way to the coast, where they intend.
ed to capture a gunboaf that is employed
in doing patrol duty around 'he island.

Another detail of the pier. was to seize
Colonel Berriz, the governor of the island.
while he was going to mass, and hang
him. Some of the ' Cubans apparently
hung back from this part of the plan, and
it was while they were being urged on by
one of the women conspirators that the
plot was betrayed.

Some soldiers who were passing the
place where the Cubans were gathered
heard the woman, whose excitement had
got the better of her discretion, vehement
ly exhorting the men to capture the govern-
or and kill him. The soldiers immediate-
ly informed the governor of the plot, and
the promptest measures were taken to frus-
trate and punish the conspirators.

The woman who had been heard urging
the Cubans to hang the governor and 20
men who are suspected of being the ring-
leaders of the proposed revolt were at once
placed in irons. They will be sent to flee
vana for trial by a court martial.

The others who are implicated in the
plot learned of its betrayal and fled to the
far interior of the island, where in a
mountainous’r’codntry and broad swamps
the authorities will have ahard task to re-
capture them unless they are forced to sub-
mission by prospects of starvation.

A steamer with 200 troops to re-enforce
those already on the island has sailed from
Batabane.

One Stage Robber Captured.

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 31.—One oi
the three men who participated in the

while leavinga Denver train at this point,
but for reasons unknown the arrest has
been kept a profound secret. The police
are now searching for the other two rob-
bers, whose identity has been established.

HAS HOKB .T'EIIZI RESIGNED?
A Rumor In Xi'ashington That the Secre-
tary Has Left the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, July 31.~—One of the most
interesting unsolved problems in-Washing-
Sun today is the question whether ,Hoké
Smith of Georgia has resigned or is about
to resign as secretary of- the interior.

, There is a widely prevailing impression

that the president’s action in selecting a
West Virginia man at the request of Post-
master General Wilson for Union Pacific
railroad director, an .ofi‘ice under the con-
trol of the interior department, was in-

 

HOKE SMITH.

tended as a direct snub to Secretary Smith,
and was meant so to be regarded -by’ him,
especially as there does not appear to have
been any pretense by the president of ask-
ing the advice of the secretary of the in-
terior on the matter.

Mr. Cleveland’s known views against
the free Qoinageof silver vvere entirely in
accord with those expressed by his secre-
tary of the interor in his recent joint dis-
cussion with ex-Speaker Crisp of Georgia.
But the fact that Mr. Smith's newspa-
per, the Altanta Journal, has since come
out in favor of Bryan and Sewall and free
silver, and the further fact that Mr. Smith
himself is advertised to open the campaign
in favor of Bryan and free silver at Au-
gusta, Ga., on Aug. 12 next, have natu-
rally revived the rumors that Mr. Smith’s
resignation as a member of President
Cleveland’s cabinet will either be request-
ed or enforced within a very few days.
Secretary Smith, when asked whether it
was true that he proposed to go to Gray
Gables for consultation with President
Cleveland prior to entering upon the
Georgia campaign, declined to make any
statement for publication.

A WARSHIP SUL-lK.

Set on Fire by Lightnin 1, It \‘Vas Found
Necessary to De .iroy Her.

ROME, July 31.—Lightniug, fire and
torpedoes combined to effect the destruc-
tion of the Italian warship Roma.

During athunderstorm which raged for
some'hours a bolt struck the vessel, which
is of 5,300 tons displacement, and set-her
on fire. .

As the Home is a wooden vessel, only
protected by a 4% inch belt of armor, the
flames sr seed with remarkable rapidity.

As so 2: as the bolt struck the worship
the men a ere called to quarters. .

They responded with.- admirable _rdis~
cipline trough-’- many had been more or
less dates with the shock, and every effort-
was tit forth to quench the blaze. ,

Al these efforts were in vain. Flames
burst forth from various parts of the ves-
sel, and the commander realized that it
was vain to try and save the ship.

The flames, however, were progressing
toward the huge magazines .where the
powder, cartridges and other munitions. of
war were stored. - .

A terrific explosion was inevitable if the
flames once reached the magazine. The
captain, in order to prevent this, gave an
order to lOWer the boats.

While the swarthy sailors filed into the
boats a torpedo was attached to the hull
of the burning vessel.
pulled away out of danger.

When the boats were safely out of range,
the torpedo was discharged. A great hole
was rent in the vessel’s hull, through
which the water poured in volumes.

It was not long before the warship be-
gan to settle, and finally plunged head
first down and disappeared, huge clouds of
steam and thick, black smoke rising from
where she sank.

No lives Were lost, and no men seriously
injured in the disaster.

The Roma was an old vessel, having
been built in Genoa in 1865. She was 262
feet long, 57 feet beam and had a speed of
about 13 knots.
of two 23 centimeter .guns and a dozen
rapid fire guns. There was a central bat—
tery, and the vessel was bark rigged.

When I was thirteen years old I began to have

was Eczema. By this time it had gone all over
my head, face, and body. Nobody thought I
would live, and would not have but for CurrcoaA

five cakes of Concern Soar, and three bottles
