Fall River, Mass, Dec. 10.——The ac- tion of the Manufacturers’ Association in deciding to reduce the wages of about 28, 000 operatives in this city has caused no end of excitement. The operatives have been expecting a. cut for the past three weeks. The cut will mean a loss to the op- eratives and tradesmen of about $180,~ 000 weekly. Cloth is quoted at 21/; cents, the lowest in the history of the trade. The mills have a surplus on hand of 2,000,000 pieces of goods, and the suflius is still increasing. Several well-attended meetings of op- eratives haVe been held, and officers of the different unions say that they are well prepared financially to resist the cut in wages. Not merely Fall River alone, which Is the leading cotton manufacturing city of America, but other large cen‘ tres in New England, are likely to be affected. It would surprise no one to see a general reduction of wages, fol- lowed by a general strike in Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford and other cotton centres, affecting perhaps 150,000 opera- tives. This is by no means a 1emote possi- bility, and there is no outcome in sight save a general strike on Jan. 1. The general feeling here is one of gloom, for Southern Competition has been in. creasing of late years and makes new gains from every industrial disturb- ance here. LOW wages and long hours in the South are the reasons invariably given by the New England manufacturers for every cut in wages and every other step tending to increase the hardships of the Eastern operatives. CUBANS TAKE A PORT. l‘he Capture of Carinanern by the Insurgents Is Admitted. Havana, Cuba, Dec. 10.—It has been announced from Spanish headquarters that a “group of rebels” entered Cai- manera,- "near Guantanamo, “favored By the treason of an officer.” Caimanera is the port of Guantana- mo, and is situated fifteen miles by rail from the latter place. Caimanera is on the Bay of Guantanamo, otherwise Cumberland Harbor. The insurgent force, the official re— port adds, consisted of forty guerillas, volunteers and natives. They are al- leged to have plundered a store and to have carried of $30,000 which was on a wharf, and which had recently arrived at Caimanera from Havana. It is also laid that the insurgents killed the po- lice inspectors and two gendarmes (n duty, and seriously wounded a Span- ‘sh paymaste1 named Jose Vigil. More Spanish guerillas have joined zhe insurgents. The Spanish tioops at Roque, Santa lara, according to an official an- nouncement, have engaged a number of insurgents, several of whom were killed. The troops captured seven- :een insurgents and a quantity of arms and ammunition, while the insurgent Col. sanity and an insurgent major surrendered. I? LYNCHERS DEFY THE SHERIFF. Will Blou‘ Up Bonanza Mine if Ar- rests Are Attempted. St. Louis, Dec. 10.—A special from Little Rock, Ark., says: “The report 13 received from Jenny Lind, Sebastian County, that the miners at Bonanza have acknowledged their participation In the lynching of Constable Murray. [t is said they have sent word to Se~~ bastian officers that if they want to arrest any of their number to come down into the shafts of the mine and _ get all they want. They are well sup- plied with dynamite, and it is known that their purpose is to blow up the mine if an effort is made to apprehend them. The mine is surrounded by a strong posse, the Sheriff being in com- mand. He says he will force the min- ers to capituiate, even if he has to fire the mine. There are about 300 miners believed to have had a hand in the lynching, and bloodshed is expect- ed to follow the apprehension of the culprits. GARY FOR GOVERNOR'S SEAT; l‘he Postmaster General May Run for the United States senate. Baltimore, Dec. 10.—IPostmaster-Gen- Bral Gary may be a candidate for Gor- man’s seat in the United States Sen~ ate. He is not saying anything, how- ever, and his most intimate friends in this city are in the dark as to his de- . I sires and intentions. It is certain that if it becomes evi- dent that Gov. Lowndes cannot be elected the Lowndes, Wellington and Gary forces will unite, but whether they will unite on Gary or on some other man cannot now be known. At present the members of the Bal- timore delegation to the State Legis~ lature seem to. be unable to agree on anything, and unless they do there is ,! grave possibility that the Democrats may vote for the Republican least ob- lectionableto them, and that he may be Congressman Mudd. TRIED TO KILL THE SULTAN. [“wo Soldiers,Failing in the Attempt, Are Tortured to Death. London, Dec. 10.—The Athens corre- rpondent of the Daily Chronicle says that on Monday last two soldiers in the imperial service at Yildiz Kiosk, the palace of the Suiutn, made an at- tempt on his life. This was frustrated 3y the attendants of the Sultan. His Majesty had‘the men tortured, n the hope of extracting the names of the instigators, but both succumbed without revealing anything. Cleveland Baby’s Debut. Princeton, N. J., Dec. 10.—Bolstered .11) in his cradle and cooing among the downy coveriets, Richard Folsom, in» Fant son of the former President and Mrs. Cleveland, made his debut in so- :iety in one of the great parlors of \‘festland yesterday. He is the little aion‘of the'sweli set. This was the first time little “Dick,” as he is called by members of the Cleveland house- r1old, has been shown to a formal gath- ering of guests. Cruller Mnrhlehead at liaytl. Washington, Dec. 10.-—The Secretary 1!! the Navy has received a cablegram from Commander McCalia, com-mand- ;ng the cruiser Marblehead, announc~ 11g his arrival at Port au Prince, Hey. :i..' The excitement over the German neident is somewhat abated: .. ..g continues. formal meeting MILLER KEEPS AHEAD. ’ Rice and Rivierre Hot After Him in the Bicycle Race. . New York, Dec. 10. ——The weary six- day grind at Madison Square Garden Miller still has, a. good lead over Rice, the second man, while Rivi- erre, the Frenchman, is only a short distance beliind Rice. Records con— tinue to go by the board. Miller has lowered all previous figures. The terrible strain the racers have been under is beginning to tell on them. Their faces are haggard and seamed and there are dark circles under their eyes. The spectacle of rid- ers falling asleep as they spun around the track and pedaling mechanically on until they fell off or were aroused by their trainers had ceased to be a novelty this morning. Hale was the freshest looking of the seventeen contestants this morning. His eyes were bright and clear, his cheeks glowed with healthy color and his movements were skillful and grace- ful. He expressed the utmost confi- dence in his ability to win out. "I don’t think that the leaders can hold out at the pace they have been go- ing,” he said. . Hale is maintaining about the same pace in this contest that he did in the six- day race last year, when he won from Rice. At the end of the eightieth hour last December- -Haie had put 1,161 miles be~ hind him. His score at 8.15 o’clock yesterday morning was 1,149 miles, only twelve miles short of last year’s record. Most of the experienced long~ distance bicycle riders agreed with Hale that Miller, Rice, Schinneer and Gaston Rivierre had been doing entire- ly too much sprinting for a six-day contest, and predictions were numer~ ous that there would be some break- downs before midnight to-morrow. THE HAWAII TREATY. Petition of the Native- Against the Annexation Proposition. Washington, Dec. 10.—The native Hawaiian Commission, headed by Dr. Richardson, were at the Capitol yester- day, bearing with them the monster petition, signed by over 20,000 natives, against annexation. The Commission- ers, who have been in consultation with ex-Queen Liliuokalani, were greatly delighted when they received a. request from Senator Hoar, of Massa- chusetts, to be allowed to present the petition to the Senate. and when the Senate met he offered the document. This act 011 the part of Mr. Hoar has been seized upon by the opposition as indicating without doubt Mr. Hoar’s position on the treaty, and has had a very disquieting effect upon the Re- publican Senators. The chances for the ratification Of the treaty are grow~ ing less each day, and many are in fa- vor of abandoning it at once and using all their efforts to pass the Morgan an- nexation resolution. The Administra- tion Senators, however, will not com sent to this progzamme just yet, and Senator Davis, at the meeting of the Foreign Relations Committee after the had adjourned, had some very plain words to say to some of the Republican Senators who seemed to be weakening on the treaty. He called attention to the Republican national platform and how it was pledged to annexation, and told the Re. publican Senators they were bound by that pledge. BRIEF SESSION WANTED. Speaker Reed says Business Inter- ests Need Little Legislation. \Vashington, Dec. 10.—“The business interests of the country demand little legislation and a brief session of Con- gress,” said Thomas Brackett Reed, Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, to a correspondent. As the Republican majority in the House believes in Mr. Reed implictily and follows his advice in everything, it Is safe to say that, so. far as the House programme goes, the programme thus tersely oil‘t‘lined by the Speaker will be followed. Over in the Senate an en- tirelye different condition of things pre- _ vaiis. The Southern and Western Senators, particularly the former, pre- fer remaining in Washington to re- turning to their provincial homes and they always..£avor a protracted session of Congress, and previous predictions (as to a short term for the long session or Congress .1 have generally been wrong. Sugar Magnute May Die. New York, Dec. 10.——Henry O. Hive- meyer, the sugar king, is in a critical condition. He may die. Some time ago Mr. Havemeyer was compelled to undergo an Operation for appendicitis. The facts were kept from the public for several days, until the operation had been performed. Last night it was reported that the wound incident to the use of the sur- geon’s knife had not healed, and that it was found impossible with safety to sew the edge of it. The patient is compelled to remain in one position, and, it is said, has lost courage. His general condition is extremely serious. Big Wire Trust. New York, Dec. 10.—The several con- trolling interests in the new Steel Wire Trust are now here to confer with J. P. Morgan & Co. respecting the financ- lng of the concern. It will be known as the American Steel and Wire Com- pany, and it will operate under a New Jersey charter with a capital of $70,- 000,000, half common and half pre ferred. Thus far all that has been done has been the naming of three ap- praisers to report on the plants in dif- ferent parts of the country. March 1 has been set as the date for the launching of the new trust. Nevada’s Governor in Wrath. Carson City, k.,Nev., Dec. 10.—Gov. Sadler, of Nevada, denounces the work of the mob on Tuesday morning in Ge- noa in lynching Adam Uber as an ex ample of fiendish barbarism. He says that, upon proper application from the authorities of Douglas County, he will offer a reward for the apprehension of the leaders and accessories to the crime. Minister Robbed of $1,500. Bridgeport, Ct., Dec. 10.—The Rev. Frederick W. Wey, an Episcopal cler- gyman of Waynesviile, N. 0., reported to the police here that he had been robbed of $1.500 while changing cars in the New Haven depot. The. money was .taken from his pocket in the :rowd, and lte did not discover the loss on aboard the train. ' DO IT YOURSLF. Y on can tell just as well as a phy si- ' cian whether your kidneys are dis eased 01' healthy. The way to do is to take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill it. with urine. If there is a sediment;— a powderlike substance—at the bottom aft-er standing 3. day and night, there is something wrong with the kidneys. Another sure sign of disease IS a desire to urinate often, and still another sign is pain in the back. If urine stains linen, there is no doubt that; the kid- neys are affected. Any and all diseases of the kidneys, live1, bladder and of the urinary -pa.s- sages and co nstipaticn of the bowel are cui ed by Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. There is no ques- tion about its being the best and surest medicine in the wmld for such trouble. It quickly releves and cures inability to hold mine, and people, young or old who take it are not compelled to get up a. numbc r of times during the night. F01 putting an end to that scalding pain experienced in passing urine. nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken- nedy’s zali‘avorite Remedy. It corrects the bad effects of whiskey and beer; is pleasant to the taste, and does not seem to be medicine at all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder oft-en re- quire the. use of instruments to push back the sandy matter so the urine can be avoided. In such cases Favorite Remedy should be taken without fur- ther delay or the disease may prove fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle at all drug stores. It is well worth many times its price.
