BRIDGEPORT. THE D. M. Read COMPANY. WARM WEATHER AND - LOW PRICES Seem to be working together, but each with a different purpose. One creates an uncomfortable, worn-out feeling, the other offsets it with cheerful, breezy comforts equivalent to a temperature which is less extreme-re- duces it from a sizzling point to one more endurable——gives you cool things to wear, and doesn’t drag one down with expense. The last of the Hammocks will go now, it’s hammock weather. Indolent, lazy things they are, but comfort- able ; and not expensive. Refrigerators and Ice Chests are testing their capacity for doing good; some kinds are better than others, but the good sorts cost no more than poor ones. That’s why we sell ' so many they’ll keep ice until the ice-man comes again.

At little cost. Egg Shampoo, Toilet Waters, Powders, Perfumery, Soaps all contribute to general comfort; together they don’t cost as} much as you sometimes spend in other ways for half the benefits.

Our Minister to Mexico Has Great Respect For D 2 and MaréHchal. RALEIGH, A ‘g. 16.—Hon. Matt W. Ran- son‘i, United States minis or to Mexico, said today that he expeé d to be well enough to retnrn to his post of duty in about two Weeks. His app r'ance is in ev- ery way hearty, but in ‘spi 4 Of this the minister is not unmindful of his late at- tack. The minister in the course of a convcr‘ sation expressed the greatest regret that the report of an alleged criticism by hihi of the Mexican government had ever had any existence. In speaking of Mpfiico he had invariably expressed very h g ' opin- ion of its present admin tration, of the president and of his cabinet. “1 news the sincerest admirat n, ” he continued, “for President Didz a d have cherished a warm friendship for Minister Mareschal, who has been most considerate to me in every way during my stay i Mexico. I have never uttered a word which I conceive could be construed in derogation of any officer in Mexico. I felt it to be _my dutyto ’my government to cul« tivate the most friendly relations with Mexico and her people. and it would have been a serious error for me to have said or done anything that would disturb the con- fidence between the two governments. I never had thought of any corruption or impropriety on the part of the Mexican of. ficials. ” _ . 4&4 'i“ 7349100 “For _ Her laCe Curtains "and Fine Work.”— as \ / °l<>i / k \, ’4} /\ Q!) \‘l 0. / 11 \>l/'\°§<>14 \ \°/ 34 </ 7333‘ </ <>> (’1? .. 332 Your <9, Ivorine 3‘: , (>14) lWashing gig; \ Powder << which I use Egg altogether 1% \/\ >11 / O’gv \ <>14>14>1<>14>14 [IVORIN ‘ ACT/k WASHING POWDER \ >11 vk’ \41 A choice cake of Olive <>14 / has proved superior to anything I have found.” MRS.

A Reply Is Awaited Anxiously by the New Governmeng—The Chinese Massacres Also Alluded To—Cape Colony and Beohuanaland. LONDON, Aug. 16.—The house of com- mons met at 2 o’clock this afternoon and was at once summoned by the usher of the black rod to the house of lords to hear the reading of the queen’s speech, which was as follows: ' “ MY Loans AND GENTLEMEN—The com- munications which I receive from foreign powers assure me of the continuance of their good will. I am happy to say that no international complication has arisen in any quarter that is calculated to endan- ger the peace of Europe. The war between China and Japan, which was in progress at the opening of the last session, has been broughtto a conclusion by a peace which, I trust, will be enduring. I have obserVed strict neutrality during the war and have not taken any action in respect thereto, except such as appeared. like to be fa- vorable to a termination of host litles. “I deeply regret to say that most atro- cious outrages upon a body of English mis- sionaries have been reported in the pr'ov. ince of Fukien, China. In reply to an earnest representation addressed to the Chinese government by my directions ac- tive measures, which I trust will prove effective, are being taken to punish the murderers and all whowere in any degree responsible for these crimes. The Armenia Massacre. “Internal troubles which have broken out in the Armenian districts of Asiatic Turkey have been attended with horrors which have moved the indignation of the Christian nations of Europe generally and my people especially. My embassador dud the embassmiors of the emperor of RuSsia and the president of the French republic, acting together, have suggested to the government of the sultan the ‘ orms which in their opinion are necess ’ry to prevent the recurrence of constant diso'r‘ der. These proposals are now being con- sidered by the sultan, and I am anxiously awaiting his decision. “A resolution has been passed by both houses of parliament of the Cape of G . Hope proposing that the adjacent crown colony of Bechuanaland should be incor- porated with Cape Colony. I signified that I was willing to consider faVOmbly an act for that purpose, provided it .con- tained proper safeguards to my in‘teyésts and those of my native subjects, especially as regards their lands. the liquor traffic and the maintenance of their own system of justice. I received satisfactory assm— ances on these matters, and an act has been passed by the Cape parliaments which I have every reason to expcct will fulfill my requirements. “At this season of the year it will prob- ably be found more convenient to defer until another session the consideration of important legislatiVe matters, except those necessary to provide for the administra- tive charges of the year. “GENTLEuEN or THE HOUSE or COM- Mons—The estimates for the service year which were not voted by the last parlia- ment will be laid before you.” The Debate on the Address. After the reading of the speech a recess was taken. Both houses reassembled at 4 o’clock, when the debate on the address in reply to the queen’s speech began. In the house of lords the Duke of Marl- borough moved and Lord Ampthill sec- onded the address. In the house of commons the Hon. T. Wodehouse Legh, Conservative, eldest son of Lord Newton, moved the address, and his move was seconded by Mr. T. Herbert Robertson, the new Conservative member for Hackney. Alex Brown Is Not Alarmed. BALTIMORE, Aug. 1'0. ~General Alexan- der Brown, who formed the subsyndicate in Baltimore to cOHOperato with the Mor- gan-Belmont syndlcate, says:"‘The’re is not the slightest‘cause for alarm. The syndicate has the situation well in hand and will keep the treasury gold reserve in- tact. Commercial bills are beginning to appear in the musket, and they will fur- nish abundant exchange and will effect- ively check the outflow of gold. ” - Probably No Pardon For Flaherty. ALBANY, Aug. 16.—A petition has been received at the executive chamber from Brooklyn, asking for the pardon of J times Flaherty of that city, who is a life pris- oner~ at Auburn. The prisoner was s'en- tenced in November. 1882. for the mur- der of his wife. by Judge Moore. Colonel Cole said, “Governor Morton would never interfere in a case like this.” Manhattan Elevated‘s Poor Showing. ALBANY, Aug. 16.—The report of the Manhattan Elevated railroad for the quar. ter ending June 30 shows that thegrcss earnings were $82,000 less than for. the same quarter of 1894, while the operating expenses were only $40, 000 less. The net income for the quarter was but $379,799, as compared with $593, 303 in 1894. The Murder of Senator Morrisy. ST. LOUIs, Aug 16.—Last May State Senator Peter Morrisy was killed in the house of Maud Lewis, who was indicted for the murder. It now transpires that Maud Lewis has a husband, Albert An- drews, and that he made a confession to having killed Morrisy. He wants to be arrested and have Maud released. John Hodge’s Will. LOCKPORT, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Since the death of John Hodge, the leading citizen made for his will, but none bearing date since 1870 has been found. This was be- fore he acquired the bulk of his property. A wrangle over the estate may therefore be expected. Colorado Wants No Bull Fight. DENVER, Aug. 16.—The Colorado Hu- mane; society, through Secretary Thomson, has appealed to Governor McIntyre to is- sue a proclamation forbidding the pro- posed Mexican bull fight at Gillet, in the Cripple Creek district, Saturday. Sept. 24. It is believed the governor will stop it. “Yanks" and “Bobs” to Go Together.

Powder ABSOLUTEEV PURE ' THE FREllfltVllll MEN They Come Together In Washington and Listen to Speeches. WILL STAND OUT TO THE END Some Spicy Letters Received During the Preliminary Correspondence—Most Speakers Were Bitter Against the President. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. —The silver Dem- ocrats continued their conference today and listened to speeches by those present. C. F. Cochran, editor of the St. Joseph (Mo) Gazette. addressed the conference. He said it seemed anomalous that a meet- ing such as the present should be called, l l l i l l l l l l l l for he knew of no doctrine of the party ‘ which was not in consonance with the purpose of . this conference. He said that congress was the place to look for the dec- laration of the party’s belief, and be de- clared that gold monometallism would be more disastrous than war, pestilence and famine. It was important to settle first what was Republicanism and what Democracy; whether such men as ex-Senator Thurman and Senator Harris or Senator Sherman were to be the leaders of Democratic thought. He declared that the silver agitation would not die out, but would continue until the end for which it had been originated should be attained. Mr. Cochran also declared against the perpet‘ nation of the national banks, whose tyranny, he said, was the greatest that any people would bear. The national banks were directly opposed to Democ- racy. He was for a declaration for silver without regard to the prospect of success or failure at the polls. A Slap at the President. ' Representative Neill of Arkansas an- nounced his entire sympathy with the ob- jects of the present conference. He want— ed to see the free coinage of silver provid- ed for at the next session “regardless of the position of the distinguished citizen at the other end of the avenue, ” which sen- imcnt was loudly applauded. He de- clzzrml the Democratic party had no show in the next campaign if there were not a declaration for sil er. Ex-Representati e Fithian of Illinois denied that the free silver sentiment was dying out in that state. , He said that all the Democratic farmers and 90 per cent of the Democrats in business in the state were silver men. He declared that Illinois would send a" delegation to the next na- tional conventiOn favorable for free coin- age at 16 to 1 independent of other na- tions. He declared that he had been de- feated in the last election not because of his position on silver, but because he had to bear the odium of an administration which was not Democratic. Representative Livingston of Georgia said the time had come for another decla- ration of independence. “It is the purpose of the country frOm which I come, ” he said, “to prosecute the fight with their coats off and their sleeves rolled u and notto \desist until the end. ” It was i gland’s purpose, he asserted, to control the United States, and finding her- self unable to do so by force of arms she had undertaken to do it by controlling our finances. Georgia was determined that the issuance of bonds should not continue. He declaredthe last bond contract, where- by the Rothschilds had been engaged to protect our credit, the most disgraceful thing that had ever taken place in the his- tory of the country. The cry for sound money was a subterfuge, as all other peo- ple were for sound money. The prospect of an-intcrnational conference he ridiculed. Casey Young's Report. Colonel Casey Young of Memphis, who conducted the correspondence incidental to the preparation for the conference, said he had written {1, 000 or 5,000 letters in con- nection with the movement for the confer- ence. He had corresponded with repre- sentative Democrats from 38 states, among them Senators Morgan, Berry, Blackburn, Walthall, George, Blanchard, Martin, Cockrell, Voorhees and Turpie, besides a large number of members of the house, who had sent regrets at not being able to be present. Representative Bryan sent a letter saying there was “no room in this country for two Republican parties, ” and Senator Morgan sent in a telegram say- ing, “I willlfollow the old guard wherever it leads. ” Colonel Young asserted that four-fifths of the Democrats were friendly to free coinage, and he believed a properly organ- ized movement would be irresistible. Spee'ches were also made by Senator Call, A. A. Lipscomb of Washington, J. M. Hill of Missouri, Representatives Jones of Virginia and Lockhart of North Caro- lina and Mr. Bodine of Missouri. When Mr. Hill arose, and some one asked his name, he said: “It is Hill of Missouri. I thank God it is not Hill of New York l” Mr. Hill criticised Mr. Cleveland’s administration in severe terms, saying the president had betrayed the Democratic party by a series of acts of perfldy I‘ud treachery. Bad Fire In Findlay. TOLEDO, Aug. 16.—An explosion and resulting fire entirely consumed the plant of the Peerless refinery, Findlay, with '. $60,000 loss, half insured. A benzine tank first exploded, cause unknown, and in an instant the building was wrapped in seeth- ing flames. Two 'still men—William Ad- ams and William Bemis—were probably fatally burned. Measurements of Defender and Vigilant. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The measure- ments of the Defender and the Vigilant, as taken by John Hyslop, the official measurer of the New York Yacht club, at the Erie basin, will not be given to the public. They will be held until just be- fore the cup races. 'The Campaign In Median-oar. PORT LOUIs, Island of Mauritius, Aug. 16.—Advices received here from Majunga. island of Madagascar, dated Aug. 5, say that the Hovas are intrenched at Kinajy. on the Ambohim'ena mountains, between Andriba and Antananarivo. General Du- chesne is now advancing upon this posi- tion, and another Hova force. consisting of 4,000 men, is ppshing forward. ' —-—-—-—-- ”3‘“ 49‘ THE STRlKE_SPREADS. Large Numbers of Unorganized Wom- en and Girls Affected. MORE CONTRACTORS SUBMIT. The Vestlnakers Will Be Out, Too, Unless Their Demands Are Immediately Granted-Other Branches Also Propose to Strike Soon. New YORK, Aug. 16.—The 5, 000 east side garment makers on strike for better wages and conditions have forced out of employment up to today fully 5,000 girls and women whose work depend directly upon the tailors. If the families of these workers are included, it is estimated that about 20, 000 persons have so far been af- fected by the strike. The women and girls who have been forced out of work are unorganized and will not receive any support from the va- rious unions. It is feared that the strike will cause great destitution and suffering among these people within the next few days. Strikes just at present seem to be very much the fashion on the east side. The scenes which have been enacted in and about Walhalla ball during the past few weeks are now being repeated at half a dozen different headquarters. The strikers are for the most part very quiet and orderly. Acting Chief Conlin has given orders that the vacations of the police should be deferred, and that the men must hold themselves in readiness to quell any disturbance that may occur. But from present indications no disorder is likely to occur. Headquarters Crowded. The strikers seem content with gather- ing about their various headquarters to talk over the situation quietly. Their sev- eral headquarters were crowded to suffoca- tion today, and the crowds completely blocked the street and sidewalks before the halls. As the streets on the east side are al; ways blocked with pedestrians, the crowds of strikers attract little attention. They cause no inconvenience except perhaps to the pushcart men and the small boys. The success of the recent strike of the Brotherhood of Tailors for better wages and conditions hasfiencouraged other or- ganizations to strike and has besides made them all very confident of success. At each of the headquarters today the lea ers expressed the utmost confidence that ey would win within a very few days. In several cases the ’settlement committees are signing the contracts as fast as they can attend to them. The contractors are as yet unorganized, and this, is is believed, will greatly improve the strikers’ chances of success. No new strikes were declared today, but it is predicted that several thousand more garment union men will go out by the first of next week. The Vestmakers’ Local assembly, No. 1058, K. of L., have notified the con- tractors that unless the agreement is sign- ed by tomorrow they will go on strike Sunday morning. The cloakmakers and shirtmakcrs will probably send similar notices to their contractors Within the next few days. Others to Make Demands. The other organizations of garment workers are all growing more enthusiastic for a strike each day, and they intend to make similar demands on their bosses. The strikers claim that the agreement which they require the contractors to sign makes no new demands except to extend the time of the agreement from six months to a year. The agreement provides that 59 hours shall constitute a. Week’s work, and that work shall not commence before 7 oficlock in the morning, or extend after 6 o’clock in the evening, and that one hour shall be allOWed for dinner. It further re- quires that only members of the unions shall be employed, and that the employees be paid every Monday. ‘ The contractors are required to observe all the rules and regulations of the unions and to,allow all business agents of the unionsto ehter the shopsvat any time. 0 The unions, on their part, promise in return to keep their employers supplied with good workmen and to hold them- , selves responsible for fines for violation of. the agreement. The contractors must give bonds in pro- portion to the number of men employed in their shops. Under the old agreement workmen have been able to earn from 86 to 816 a week. Sluggers Can’t Slug In Mexico. EL PAso. Tex., Aug. 16.—Today M. T. McLean, who came here to arrange to have the Corbett—Fitzsimmons fight come ed in Juarez, Mexico, in case it was stop- ped at Dallas, received a telegram stating ' that President Diaz would under no con- sideration allow the fight to take place on Mexican soil. Strike Probable at Fall River. FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 16.—At meet- ings of the executive committees of the Carders’, Spinners’ and Weavers’ unions the wage question was discussed with a view to requesting an immediate advance of wages. It is probable that if no ad- vance is made within a month a strike will occur. ‘ Postmaster-s Appointed.
