New York, June 17.—Mayer Schoen—
feld, the leader of the tailor strike, is
on the verge of nervous prostration.
His family physician, Dr. C. P. Korn—
neich of 151 Clinton street, said today:
“Yes, Schoenfeld is on the verge of
nervous prostration. The extreme men-
tal and physical strain under which he
has been laboring for_ the past few
weeks has tundermined his nervous sys-
tem to such an extent that unless he
stops his active work. in the strike and
his speeches at mass meetings he will
surely collapse.
“I have forbidden 'his speaking at
mass meetings or taking any active
part in the strike, for the present at
least."
The coat contractors continued their
stampede today to sign the agreement
of the striking Brotherhood of Tailors.
Up to date 400 contractors have grant-
ed the demand of the strikers and given
security to the executive board of the
Brotherhood of Tailors that they will
live up to the agreement.
These securities consist of indorsed
promissory notes forfeitable in the
event of a violation of the agreement.
Between 6,000 and 7,000 tailors have
returned to work for the contractors
who have signed‘the agreement, so that
the big crowd of strikers about Wal-
halla hall has been materially thinned
out. _ ' ‘
I _ All Rushing to Sign.
_ Association contractors were rushing
around all day to find Leader Schoen-
feld for the purpose of having notaries
sent to them, so that they could sign
the agreement without exposing them-
selves at the headquarters of the set-
tlement committee of the Brotherhood
of Tailors, at 50 Essex street.
Schoenfeld said that the strike was
practically won, but it would take an-
other week for all the contractors to
sign the agreement.
The Children’s Jacket Makers’ union
reported that only 300 hands of the
2,500 in the union were out on strike at.
the present time.
The cloakmakers are preparing. to
strike, and it is believed that about
10,000 of them will refuse to go to work
on June 23. -
The mass meeting of the strikers will
be held in New Irving hall, in Broome
street, on the night of June 22. The
cloak manufacturers have not answered
the communication of the executive
board of the United Brotherhood of
Cloakmakers, in which demands were
made for living wages and a ten hour
workday.

Jubilee Illumination Money to Be Used to
Relieve Distress.
Calcutta, .Tune 17.-—Further reports
of the destruction caused by the earth-
quake of last Saturday show that great
damage was done at Decca, Jamalpur
and Murshidabad. At the latter place
the nawab had a miraculous escape.
Great injury has been done to the tea
plantations of Assam, Cachar and
Duare. A’number of factories and ma-
chine houses have been wrecked at the‘
three places named. At Krishnagar,
Mymendingh and Silket all the courts
and treasuries have been demolished.
It is expected that the jubilee illuw
mi‘nations will be abandoned and that
the money which it was proposed to
expend upon them will be devoted to
relieving the distress of the earthquake
sufferers.
Serious reports are coming in from
Assam. At Shillong everything was
leveled to the ground. An inspector of
prisons was killed, and there were many
deaths in the public offices, in the mili-
tary lines and in the bazaar. No fur—
ther details are obtainable. '
The official records were buried at
Gauhati, where the roads are now
crossed by wide chasms. The railroad
has vanished in that vicinity, and at
Goalpara a tidal wave destroyed the
bazaar and all the other buildings, and
the neighboring country is covered
with fissures which are Spurting mud
and sand. Numbers of buildings have
been destroyed at Dhubri, where the
river bank has subsided, flooding the
country and ruining the crops.

shaken districts have not been heard
from, but isolated roads have been
broken up by fissures, bridges have
been destroyed and the telegraph lines
have been broken down-almost through-
out Assam.
