A PICTURE OF POVERTY.
Thousands OF English Cotton Mill Hands
Starving and Freezing.

LONDON. Dec. "a month has elapsed since
the beginning of the great cotton lockout. IL
appears to be no nearer a settlement than at the
beginning. Perfect order has been maintained
throughout the surrounding districts. AS the
Amagamated Association of Cotton spinners
receive regularly weekly strike pay there is little
suffering among them. There is another side
to the subject not so bright. Forty thousand of
non-union mill hands are idle through
the same dispute, with no treasury to
draw upon. Their condition is pitiable,
and thousands of them, men, women and
children, are now reduced almost to starvation.
Their paltry household effects, and even parts
OF their clothing. have gone to the pawnbrokers
for money to buy food. The little money they
raised was soon spent, and starvation stares
idle working people in the face. In many mill
towns non-union mill hands daily parade the
streets and solicit aims. The severity of the
weather now prevailing adds to the distress.
Application was made yesterday to the
magistrates at Old Hall for 500 warrants against
operatives in arrears for borough rates. The
magistrates refused them aad told the bailif to
apply again when the strike Is ended.

SnOhOmish River IMPROVEMENT.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 9.-The secretary of
war has sent in more reports made by members
OF the corps OF engineers of preliminary examina-
tions on the Pacific coast streams and harbors
Capt. symonds reports that Alsea river, in Ore
gon, is worthy of improvement by the govern
ment. The plans of the survey will cost $l000U
The same officer advises that the Snohomish
river be improved from its mouth to Lowell
The commerce of Everett and Lowell make
this most necessary. An additional survey
would cost only $3.50. and much work could be
done by the snagboat skagit. An adverse re-
port was made on the advisiability of improv-
ing Rogue river from Grants Pass to its mouth.

Five Months imprisonment for His
Temerity-He Nav BE Exempted

BERLIN, Dec. a-The Ahlwardt case ended to-
day, he being sentenced to five months impris-
onmeut. The public prosecutor made strong
speech against him, saying among other things
that there was no justification whatever in the
charges made that Lowe manufactured defec-
tive rifles and sold them to the government. He
maintained that the charge of libel against Ahl
wart had been proved.
Ahlwardt, speaking in his own defense. main
tanned that he had furnished confirmation of
all his statements and only failed to substan-
tiate his conclusions. He did not mean to
weaken the confidence of the soldiers in their
weapons, but sought TO induce the war Office to
remove the useless rifles motion to exempt
Ahlwardt from imprisonment on the ground
that he is a member of the reichstag viii be iu-
troduced in that body Immediately after the
announcement OF his election.
In passing sentence on Ahlwardt. the judge
declared that the charge that the rifles were
illegally stamped had been proved unfounded.
Military tests of loves guns had given brilliant
results. Ahlwardts numerous libels upon
private persons ana upon Gunmaker Kirch
were punishable by law. Nothing could justify
the plea that Ahiwardt had acted for the public
inteYest.

HE EOERSTEL FRAUDS.

ST. LOUIS, Dec, 21.-The work of inves-
tigating the city's finances was begun to-
day by special committee OF the council
appointed last night. The object OF the
committee is to act on the message of the
mavor reporting deficit in the city
treasury and the suspension of Treasurer
Foerstel. If they fiud 1t TO be true they
will prefer charges against the treasurer
to the council and the trial Will be pro
ceeded with rs provided by law. The
committee will not give out any informa-
ton until il reports 10 the council next
Friday evening.
The story of blackmailer's work upon
the suicide, Edward FOerstel, was more
definitely confirmed TO lay by an intimate
friend of the d. al man, james Harrison,
who positively asserted that tue black
mailer was a former partner or young
Toerstel's, Harry Z. Carroll by name. II
was learned that Carroll, in some way
while visiting the young man IN his
office, became possessed of a persona /
memorandum of Foerstep5 Indebtedness
to the city. Using this as hammer,
Harrison says that Carroll secured about
6 .0OO and II further demand for $4,000 a.
hush money precipitated the suicide 1t is
well assured that the suicide has LETT
enough property 20 cover his deficit. In
addition his father is considered worth at
least Si00, 600 over his Liabilities, and this
makes it practically certain that neither
the city nor the boudsmen will lose any
