THE UNSETTLED CONDITION EX ."; ; PECTED TO CONTINUE. ; The Howland Yarn Plants Concede the Demands of the Operatives Difference in Position of Yarn and Cloth Mills Ten Mills at Fall Riyer Shut Down and Nineteen . Par- . tially Runnyis. New Bedford, Mass , Aug. 21. The pleasant visions of son. that the strike of textile operatives w u!d prove a huge fizzle and" only a teni orary ripple on the surface r industrial sea, by the development v. ' o-day are Bhowntbbe based upon a most superficial and hollow view of the conditions, and not of the actual situation. The conclusion was jumped at by some that inasmuch as the mills known as the Howland plants had conceded the old schedule of wages to their employes, the other cotton manu facturing establishments in this' city would hasten to follow their lead, j Such as nave taen mis view seem 10 nave lost sight of a very important circum stance in connection with the complica tion. At the time of the meeli g pf the mill men for the purpose of an piging for the cut down Wm. D. Howland was not in the city and no representative of the Rotch or Howland corporations or of the New Bedford manufacturing; com nanv was nresent. There are not a few who do not hesitate to say that this was not a coincidence. . I After a long consideration of the situ ation and with a reasonable assurance that the operatives would showf fight, regardless of what Mr. Howland's views of course might be, the mills decided to post notice of a cut down. Without positive knowledge of what Mr. Howland might do In regard to en forcing the notices, the operatives gen erally, from the first, felt that .he would make his employes tne concessions iney desiredj rather than see the pleasant re lations which had existed between tnem ruptured. It is not to be supposed for a minute tnat tne otner manuiaciurers were not as well informed hvthia regard as the operatives. Yelj in view jof all the conditions, the notices! were posted. The conditions in the yam and cloth mills are widely dissimilar. It is gen erally agreed that those mills producing yarn alone are finding a much bettef market for their goods tnan is jiouna ior cloth. Inthe case of manufacturers of yarn it is laserious matter k ioso a buyer, as the identity or tneir product is completely unknownto the general pub lic, who purchase it untterthe brands of other manufacturers who naake it into cloth. This is not, of course.pthe case' with the product of the cloth mills. When there is any movement in cloth- the opportunity to dispose of ji goods is always open to cloth producing mills. It is a common thing for a retail buyer who is favorably impressed with a partid ular brand of cloth to call for it over the counter of the retail store tnd thus the mills are constantly brought face to face with the consumers. In the case of the yarn mill, trade once diverted may never be regained. Consequently ,it is of the utmost importance that it should fill all its orders. Itishardlypossibleforamill to be closed several weeksand still regain its trade. No doubt these considerations have been given weight. Fall River,, Mass., Aug. 21. To-day the mill situation is not improved. A canvass of the mills in the citjy shows the following conditions: ; I Shut ! down Barnard, Narrigansett, Sagamore, Stafford, Stevens, iWampa noaga, Weetamoe, Flint, Anawan, Fall River Manufacturing. j ; Running on full time American.linen; Iron works, Metacomet, Globe, yarn; Sanford, spinning; KiDg Phillip, Kerr, thread. ill Partially running Border City,1 a few looms; Bourne, same as yesterdys Chase, 69 looms; Cornell, 400; Davol, 200; Dur fee, a few, not over 620; Grantie, 200; Hargraves, oo; Laurel Lake," not any looms; Mechanics, 200; Merchants. 160; Crescent, 600; Pocasset, 1,424; Richard Borden, 350; Seaconnel, 550; Shove 400; Slade, 150; Tecumseh 100; Troy 500. i In eeneralthe mills in the centre of the city have gained in the number of looms runnins. while those on the outskirts have nnt been dr.incr HO well. i ? The weavers met m the South part to-day and listened to addresses made by the officers of the union and others. Arnold B. Sanford, treasurer ;of the Globe varn mills and K. C, KerrL treas urer of the Kerr thread mill, notified their help .this morning that they would be obliged to work . under "tbf) reduction acreed UDon bv the manufacturers two weeks ago. The help accepted the offer and will work. Manufacturers in gen eral believe to.day that things will be in a vcrv unsettled condition here for three" - . . . i or four weess ana some oi inem nave decided to forestall any eerious difficulty by shutting down,,.-' Fall River. Aug. 21. Five more mUU shut down to-day on account of the strike and there is a decrease of fully 1, 500 looms in the mills yet running, j New Bedford, Mas., Aug. 21. A feeling prevail that all of the mills in the city whose production is yarn exclu sively are likely to follow the Rotch and the Howland corporations and the New Bedford . Manufacturing company in conceding the old schedule of wages to their employes, but that the mills pro ducing cloth intend to fight the matter to a conclusion. If this 'should prove to be the case .the strike would be set tled so far as about 4,000 operatives are concerned, but there would still be about 7,000 of the operatives m idleness, The loom fixers met at Spinners hall early this morning. There was not one of the 210 loom fixers in the city ; unac counted for. The meeting was im mensely enthusiastic and the sentiment was unimous not to refcrn to work imtil an assurance is received that the old schedule of wages i3 restored. The loom fixers are vehement in their assertions that the cut down is more unjust in their case than in that of any of the other operatives. - They claim to be the most poorly paid of M7f the help, taken into consideration the amount of responsi bility they are called upon to assume and the fact that they are compelled to furn ish their own tools. Inasmuch as they did not see &ay probability of a settle ment of the difficulty dux;n the present week, it was voted to adjourn until Sat urday. In the meantime, should there be anv unexpected developments they will be called together by "their committee of conference, which daily consult with the representative, of other organizations. His Wife Dead and Children Starv- ing. j Pittsburg, Aug. 21. Thos. Harris, of Esplenborough, returned to-day from Mount Clements, where he had been for his health. He found his home closed, and after considerable trouble broke in. He found the dead and decomposed body of his wife on the bed and by her side slept their two children, aged 2 and 4 years respectively. The woman died last 'Thursda7 from hemorrhages and the bed was saturated with bloxxj. Tne neighbors supposed that the family was away. , The children are in a precarious mndition from lack of food and breath- I ing the contaminated atmosphere so long. Accept the Sioux City Club's Proposi tion to Fight For a $25,000 Purse. Sioux City, la., Ang. 21. Corbett's manager, William Brady, has l tele graphed his acceptance pf the Sioux City Athletic club's 25,000.offer for the Corbett-Jackson fight. Jackson telegraphed yesterday that he would accept, if training expenses were guranteed him, provided the fight did not take place. The gurantee was made. The club is composed of forty of the leading business and professional men, who have jointly signed a note for the $25,000, to be taken up and the cash deposited when the articles are signed. The club manager does not tell how they expect to pull the fight off. He simply says: ;. "we can reacn any one of four States within one hour's ride of Sioux City and we have also the two Missouri river islands over which neither Jowa, Nebraska, fnor South Dakota claim jurisdiction, within fifteen minutes of the heart or tne city." - "I will not Tjermituiis-hgmVte-ooctar within the corporate limits of Sioux City." said Mayor Fletcher, in speaking of the eifort being made to get a match. What is more, 1 doubt if it will be al lowed to be fought on Iowa soil. So far as my jurisdiction is concerned I shall unalterably oppose the movement to have the battle fought here." Sioux City 8 offer for the Jackson- Corbett fight is still somewhat of a mys tery to everybody in the city who is not in the inside of the scheme to bring the fight here. The thing was worked np very qmcKiy and quietly and sprung after all the details were arranged. The men who have appeared on the surface say they are backed by the best people in the town, and hint who some of them are, and when the best people are asked about it they all refuse to give any in formation and deny interestln it. They all believe a Wize tight, if it is a big enough fight, is;a good thing for a town to have, and they say they will make this the biggest fight that was ever held. There is a great division of opinion in the matter in the city.- Some declare it is all a fake. The mayor and sheriff say they will have no fight, but the promo ters of the scheme only1 smile and say nothing when these statements are re ported to them. They declare they have every corner guarded; that there can be no interference by local or State author ities and that they will have the fight right in the city. A favorite theory is that the scheme is based on the fact that South Dakota, which lies across the Big Sioux rijeer from the city,has a weak law against prize hghting and it is believed the authorities in the counties adjoining tne city nave been induced to take the same liberal and tnorougly modern views of the subject as was entertained by Sioux Cityans and that having suc ceeded in this they have the assurance that the fight can be pulled off within a range of the suburban city street car Mines in South Dakota. The telegrams that have been received to-day the Sioux City Athletic as sociation indicate that Peter Jackson is not anxious to fightCorbett and is will ing to get out of itfpossible. When the club's offer for the figmVcame out he was interviewed in New York and said he would make a statement as soon as J heard from the club personally. He has not wired the club since the offer of a guarantee of training - expenses was made, but Richard H. Fox has wired, asking if the club will deposit the full amount of the purse with him. This the club will not do. Corbett, has sent word that he would require no further guar antee from the club than a deposit of $3,600 for his expenses. From the Seat of War. London, Aug. 22. The Times has re ceived the following dispatch from Shanghai, dated August 21: Gen. Tio, commander of the Feng Tein division of the Chinese forces, telegraphs as follows: 'The Chinese on Friday attacked the Japanese forces at Ping Yang, driving them back with a heavy loss, a distance of eleven miles to Claung Ho." The Chinese made a second attack on Satur day and drove the Japanese from Claung Ho, whioh is now in Chino hands. The Japanese again lost heavily in Sat urday's fighting. Another great battle is expected to-day." Admiral jFremantle, the British com mander, has established the headquarter of his fleet, provisionally, at Chee Foo, where the. British, Russian and Italian Ministers now are. The Chinese fleet is enjoying full possession of the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. ' The Japanese are re embarking large numbers of troops at Fusan. Nothing is known regarding their destination. The Chinese force which occupied Yashan ; has evacuated hatrtlaceaTidhas marched eastward in the direction of Seoul.' The force which isfunder Gen. Yeh, who was falsely reported to have been killed in a recent battle, has been augmented by the adhesion of numbers of sympathizing Coreans. The Chinese forces are con verging on Ping Yang. The telegraph line at the latter point remains in the possession of the Chinese. Nine thou sand Japanese troops have left Seoul and marched in the direction of Ping Yang. Two German fathers of the Catholic mission at Si Ning Chou, in the EQuthern part of the province pf Sliav Tung, have been captured by banditti and held for ransom. Abbott Knocked Oat by Everhardt. New Orleans, Aug. 21. There were 5,000 spectators seated in the Olympic club arena to night at 9:15 o'clock when time called forifhe twenty-five round scientific glove contest between Stanton Abbott, the champion light weight of Eagland, and Jack Everhardt, of this city, for a purse of $1,500. : Abbott commenced the fight by land ing a sharp body blow. Some heavy in fighting followed near the ropes, Abbott doing the best hitting. In a clinch honors were easy. Both 'men landed rights, and Abbott retired to his corner with a marl on his et t ee." In the second round Everhardt landed a left in the stomach. The Englishman seemed to confine his fighting principally to the body, and both men landed blows on the head. Abbott landed a left in the face and ran away from a return. The Englishman scored two lefts as the gong ended the roud. The fight dontinuect with but slight variation to the eighth round, when Ab bot, In a hot rally m the centre of the ring, apparently had the best of it and landed frequently on his opponent's face. In the ninth round there was some hot fighting, and in the tenth and eleventh rounds Abbott had much the best of it, knocking Everhardt down with a left in the lace. I From this time up to the twentieth rdUnd Abbot was in the best condition. From the twenty-second to the twenty foui'tji round the fighting was furious. Everhardt improved in condition, while Abbott . looked tired. In the twenty fifth round Abbott was knocked out after having been knocked down half a dozen times. During the last part of the contest i Everhardt fouled Abbott several times, but no notice' was taken Of it.' ': : . m - " Sale of the Western North Carolina -r0 Railway. AsHEVTXiLE, N. C, Aug. 21.

PECULIAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN REDUCTION AND ABO- LITIOX OF 'DUTIES. Goods Under Former Class Now in Bonded Warehouses to Pay the New Duties, Those Under the f Latter, the Old Chairman f Wilson Thinks the Pres ident Will Not Siirn the Tariff Bill. Washington, Aug21. Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and Means com mittee, will probably make a flying trip to Europe after the adjournment of Con gress. He will take one of the fast liners and remain a week in London, re turning to the United States about twenty days after his departure. He said this morning that he felt more fatigued to-day than he has at any time for two months. The excitement at tending his work on the conference com mittee buoyed him up to some extent, and now that this excitement has passed a reaction has set in It is his purpose to enter the campaign in his district im mediately upon his return from Europe He may speak in other districts, but he does not expect to go ' outside of the State.;-..... .. :" ..:. '.,,. ) " Mr. Wilson was asked to day what action the President would take regard ing the Tariff bill. He replied that he had not seen Mr. Cleveland for some days, but,- in his opinion, the bill would probably become a law without the Ex ecutive signature. Should Mr. Wilson's surmise be correct, an adjournment of Congress will not occur before Tuesday of next week. ' The President is; anxious to get-back to Washington on Thursday, as he has much to attend to before he "lets Con gress adjourn, and he expects to have little or no rest for the next week or ten days. He has no idea of staying in Washington longer than that,Congress is scheduled to adjourn next weekand the President will probably return at once to Gray Gables and spend the month of Septejnber there. He will not allow any but the most urgent public business to interfere with his month of vacation and will insist that the privacy of his seashorettage be respected during that time. Office seekers and people with any sort of axes to grind will be expected to keep away from Buzzard's Bay and save their energies for fall campaign ing at the White House, to which the President's family will return the second week of October. Such matters pertain ing to the official action of the President during his vacation as are of public in terest will be transmitted to and given out from the White House. - Imported goods now id bonded ware houses and placed on the free list by the new Tariff bill, are to be assessed at the rates prescribed by the McKmley law. While goods in bonded warehouses on which the duty is lessened by the Senate bill, but which are not placed on the free list are to have the lower rates. This seemingly inconsistent construction of the Tariff bill has been made at the -Treasury De partment as the result of conferences betweejiSecretary Carlisle and Attorney GeneraFtlney. The- bill prpyides that goods importeo-unjler the MeKinley -act and placed in bonded-warehouses may be withdrawn for consumption at the lower rates of the Senate measure. -The beneht thus conferred was undoubtedly intended to apply to the free list, but, unfortunately for the - importers, a direct provision of that character is hotin the bill. : The intent of Congress in the matter is so plain that it is. believed the courts would construe the benefits of the. Tariff bill to apply to the importers, but the- Treasury Department is anxious to avoid legal complications. In view of the decision of the Secretary, however, it appears that this will not be possible, Goods now in bonded warehouses and placed on the free list by the new bill will be assessed on their withdrawal under the rates imposed by the MeKinley law and the importers will naturally protest and sue the Government for a refund of duties. Importers, however, may avoid embarrassing complications by with drawing their goods without payment of duty, exporting them' to some near by foreign port, and then re-import them under the free list after the new law be comes operative. They Died Together. New York, Aug. 21. At 7 o'clock this .morning Park Officer Thomas Flynn, while patroling in the Ramble in Central Park between the east and west driveways and opposite Seventy-eighth street, discovered the bodies of a young man and young woman lying dead on the grass near the pathway. The man was Julius D. Marcus, who is supposed to live at No. 52 East Broadway. The woman was Juliette Fournier, of No. 354 South Fourth street, Brooklyn. Marcus had a bullet wound through the centre of his forehead, rje was lying prostrate across the woman who was shot directly in the centre of the breast. Marcus held a revolver in his hand- Two of the chambers were empty and three were still loaded. The blood from his head had run down and stained the face and clothes of the woman, whose body was still warm. It was evident that the man had first shot the woman and then killed himself. The man was about 30 years old and the woman 17. She ia married her uncle and' wis unhappy with 'him. fche and Marcus had been lovers previous to her marriage, so they made up their minds to die together. Letters found on their bodies showed that their act had been carefully planned to the last detail. . Two Thousand Barrels ofQll Burned " py liightnins. J ; J Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 21. A tei rific electric storm raged here about 1 o'clock thia morning. "The .Western Union Telegraph company's wires were fused, and for seyeral hours the city .was cut off from communication with the outside world.

THE STRIKE INVESTIOATIONr Impartial Work of the Federal Com. mission Synopsis of the Testi- , mdny The Starving People at Pullman Governor Altgeld . ' to Their Relief. Chicago. Aug. 21. Officials of the American Railway union and local labor leaders! are much pleased ' with the methods of the National strike com mission; so far. Several of them have expressed themselves as satisfied that toth Bides of the question will receive a pir and impartial hearing. The first witness put upon the stand this morning was Michael J. Carroll, editor 6f the Eight Hour Herald, He believed the Government ownership of railroads to be the true solution of the labor problem. He cited the situation in Australia, where the Government owns the telegraph lines, as proof that his ideas were practicable. -. Malcom McDowell, a reporter for a morning paper, testified next. He had seen cars overturned and other overt acts, but could not say whether the work had been done by members of the Ameri can Railway .union or not. He did not belie vej that many railroad men were engaged in these acts, t Thomas W. Heathcole, chairman of the Pullman strike committee, was re called. He declared the Pullman em ployes had no other alternative but to strike. I ! Rev. M. H. Wickman, the Swedish minister at Pullman, told of the reduc tion of his parishoners' wages. He said the Swedish laborers at Pullman were made to pay-more rent at Pullman than at Rosejand and other places in the neighborhood. iWhy, then" asked Chairman Wright, "do the men not live in Roseland or vicinity?" l "They are commanded to live in Pull man, on pain of dismissal J Even where men own homes outside of Pullman, if work becomes slack, these men are the first laid off." ; ' Mr. WickTmin4ld of the case of an employ who was injuredin the Pull man shops and obliged to stay at the hospital for nine weeks. During this time the, company charged him rent for hifiLhous in Pullman, refused to pay him any damages and cut down his wages when he returned from the hospital, be cause hip injury prevented his doing as much work as formerly ' H. I. (pleveland, a reporter for a morn ing papdr,- gave his experience during the strike. He had seen rioting in several places, 'jbut thought those engaged in overt acts were roughs and rowdies and that few or none of them were railroad men. He joined with the two reporters who prepeded him in scoring the United States deputy marshals, . Herman E. i Dutton gave his observa tions as reporter for two morning papers at different times during the strike, ' He had 8eenj but few railroad men engaged in rioting. - " j - Other Reporters gave similar views. Governor Altgeld this morning sent a letter toi George M. Pullman, in which he outlined the desperate condition of alfairs among -the strikers at oPullman, and invited Mr. Pullman to .call on him and devjsejneans of relief for the 1,600 starving' families in his town. As yet the Governor has received no reply. The Pull inanj relief committee was informed by the Governor that immediate aid was at hand for the sufferers, but he declined to name Stsfsource. "While I can say that relief will be at hand at once," said he, "I cannot at present define what shall be done to afford substantial help. There are three ways of securing the as- nceiwhiclv must be had at once. Thereis-the Governor's fund, which will not permit oTany considerable draft, and there is also a possibility of conven ing tne Legislature for, the purpose of making an appropriation, but that plan would take too long. Then, the way is open for me to issue a proclamation to the people of the State, asking them to make charitable contributions. It is thought the Governor will make a personal contribution and then issue the proclamation referred to,. House Proceedings. Washington, Aug. 21. The House adjourned over to-morrow after an un- mportant session of about an hour to day. Unsuccessful efforts were made to secure consideration of several import ant measures,, chief among which was the Hill pill for the exclusion and qe portation of alien Anarchists, Mr. Warner, JUemycrac, or xsew York, obiected and persisted in his . objection. notwithstanding the appeals of Messrs. Boatneri and McMillan, the latter of whom, in reply to a question, stated that 500 Anarchists were now on their way to the United States whose descrip tions have heen:furnihed to the united States officials. , i i Mr. Warner Said hd was not to be panic stricken into consenting that such a bill as it now is should become a law. Amendments ought to be considered in committee and presented, he said, before the House was plunged into a discussion of the measure. The Senate bill parsed, authorizing the construction of an addition to the public building! at Little Rock, Ark., to cost not more than $58,000; also a Senate joint resolution directing the printing of 20, 000 copies of the Tariff bill Mr. Brodenok, Republican, of Kansas, asked consideration of the Hoar Anti- Lottery bilL but Mr. Davy, Democrat, of Louisiana, objected. ; Triennial Conclave of Baal Arch K'- .:. j- Masons.
