Iterates His Denial.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--An agent of the
Associated press called upon Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British minister, this after
noon, and called his attention to the fact
that Dalzelps news agency had issued a
statement reassertinR the authenticity of
the alleged interview with him cabled to
the London Times. Sir Julian made a
statement in writing absolutely denying
having Used any of the language attributed
to him. A few days ago, he said, man ac-
costed him in n public car and informed
him of the decision of the supreme court
IN the Sayward case. They exchanged, says
Sir Julian, few remarks about the agita-
tion which the case excited and which the
minister said he was glad to think had sub
sided. This was absolutely all.

He Insists Upon a speedy Marriage, and
Then Takes French Leave.
Some time ago man named Il. +. Roche
moved into ADaeOstia, opened drug store
and built up very fine trade. He was a
widower with two daughters and son.
One day he remarked to some friends that
no sane man would go through life without
a helpmeet, and he added:
II am sick and tired of this thing. I'm
going off this very day and get me q wife,"
Like the late lamented McGlnty he put on
his best suit of clothes and went off heart
hunting. BY some means unknown to his
friends he met fair widow in this town
to whom he conlided his love and asked
for her hand. There was no time, he
said, to wait. The thing must be done
at cDce. He was business man and
couldn't afford to stand ON ceremony.
in vain did the widow plead for time
Roche was memorable and declared over
and over again that he did not believe in
long c0urtships. He was too practical a.
man for that. He was so persistent and so
eloquent that the widow could not or else
did not want to refuse him, and so accepted
him on the spot on condition, however, that
lie should take care of her two children.
Why, fetch them along TO AnacOStia,"
said he, land we will haYea happy family"
That afternoon the marriage took place,
and before the sun sank in the western
skies Roche and the widow were made one.
For some time happiness appeared to
reign in the Roche household. Que MORN
ing not long ago Roche announced to his
wife that he had sold out his store to Mr.
w. w. Fisher. but said he would remain in
Anacostia and probably engage in other
business. But he didn't.
A few days ago, in the absence of Mrs,
Roche, he packed up his goods and chattels
and with his children came over to this city.
Mrs. Roche secured q detective, who has
fiually located the truant husband in Chi
cage. Mrs. Roche is now on her way to the
city by the lake. She declared before leay
ing that she was ''bound to get even," and
she no doubt meant exactly what she said

ORGANIZED LABOR.
Progress of the Millmen's Strike
for Eight Hours.
Formation Of a Wood-Carvers' Union-Pro
posed Afiliation Of the Retail Clerks.
Chinese-Made Cigars.

The striking mill carpenters are vigor-
ously prosecuting their fight for an eight
hour day. Pickets are stationed about the
mills for the purpose OF preventing nom
union men from taking the place of the
strikers.
An enthusiastic meetiag of the mill car
penters was held last night 1t was re-
ported that the mills of Mcdonald on
Spear street and of Doty & Sterling on
Brannan street, had withdrawn from the
Millmen's Association. 1t was further
stated that these mills would open up this
morning with full force of union men who
will work only eight hours day.
1t was decided to request the Central
Council Of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners TO ask all building trades with
in its jurisdiction to give all the asSista nce
possible in aid of the movement.
There was an interesting discussion in
reference to calling out the Oakland men.
A resolution requesting them not to come
out was tabled, after which it was agreed
that all union men employed in the Oakland
mills should be called out without delay.
The trouble appears to be that there are
many non-unlon men employed in these
mills, but scheme is on foot to induce
them to join the strike.
AT meeting of the Building Trades
Council last evening the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
WHEREAS, there is dispute between the
Millmen's Protective Association and their en-
ployeS, which has resulted In strike of the
mill bench carpenters TO secure their demand
Tor The eight hours; and whereas, every member
OF the organizations represented in this coun-
ell recognizes the justice and moderation OF The
demand Of the men, therefore,
heS0tred, by THIS council In meeting assem-
Dled thal IL Is In full sympathy with the mill
bench carpenters III their struggle and will give
secure their just demands.
The Advisory Board of the furniture
workers took similar action, and it is now
stated authOrtatively that no furniture
manufacturers have done any work for the
struck mills. There was no foundation for
the charge that this kind of work was being
done In some of the factories.
long session of the Milmen's Associa-
ton was held yesterday afternoon. The
majority voted in favor of not granting
eight hours and it was decided to make q
stubborn fight against granting an eight
hour day. The members favor nine hours.

GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

Captain Cookesley's Paper on the His
tory of India.
The history of India has been little else
than history of conquest" In these words
captain Cookesley summed up the first part,
the properly historical portion of his lecture.
before the Geographical Society last evening
The generalization was amply supported
by Captain Cookesley. From the time of
Alexander the Great the stream of northern
invaders has been unceasing. Alexander
overran the Punjanb. Mahmoud of Ghuzni
extended his borders southwark, then came
the h0rdes of the Mahratta invaders, and,
later still, the Persans. Meanwhile, toward
the end of the seventeenth century, the
power that was eventually TO dominate the
peninsula, the English, began to establish
themselves in trading-poStS on the Sea-cOaSt,
and Give soon won the decisive battle OF
Plassey. and made the English rule secure.
The speaker then gave most graphic
description Of the horrors suffered and the
fOrtitude displayed during the mutiny. He
described the outbreak at Meerut the con-
centraton OF the rebels at Delhi and the
eventual capture of the city by the British
troops after three days of hard street fight
Ing. Perhaps the most interesting portion
OF the lecture was the description of the
siege OF Cawnpore, which was given with
the picturesque force of an eyewitness, but
with modest seif-re preston.
The audience followed this part Of the
lecture with the most careful attention, and
thrilled in sympathy as Captain Cookesley
drew the pictule of "Havelock'S Saints

In their hearts to the relief of Lucknow.
