STRIKERS INVOKE LAW.
They Want to Know Whether Their
Employers Are Conspirators.
THE GRANITE WORKERS RAISE A
NOVEL POINT

And District Attorney Nicon Thinks 1t
May Be a Good One-Signs that the
Big Strike Is Approaching Its End
On Cape Ann, They Seem To Be Near
Raised in Gotham.
NEW YORK, May pa delegation of
leaders in the granite workers strike
called on District Attorney Nicoll today
and submitted question whether the
New England Granite Manufacturers
Association was not guilty of criminal
conspiracy in combining to con-
troll the price of stone in
this city by locking out it's employees.
Mr.. Nicol did not give decisive answer
but to reporter he subsequently said
that ii the statements made to him relat-
ed to facts which could be substantiated.
the associatian was guilty of conspiracy.
A meeting of the Granite Cutters
Union OF this city was held tonight to
discuss the lockout and the attitude of
the granite combine. There We're 200
members present, and the meeting was
held with closed doors. John Russell
presided. Reports of the strikes com
mittees stated that the men continued
firm in their demands and there were en-
couraging signs of the quarry combine
weakening. Thiswas shown by telegram
from Secretary Dyer of the Granite Cut
ters' Union OF the United States stating
that the Cape Ann quarries had acceded
to the demands of the stone handlers.
The secretary also released stone from
the Friendship, Me-, and Pleasant Hill
quarries. There are now several boat
loads of granite from these two quarries
lying in the river. They had been tied
up since the strike. This stone is to be
used in the construction of the Grant
monument and the memorial arch in
front OF Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Other
consignments are to be used in the con-
struction of the Brooklyn water tower. !

LEND A HAND.
Labor People Forming Clubs to Aid the
Granite Strikers.

Especial to the Press1
RocKLAND, May pa society known
as the Lend a Hand Club, having $50
members as a starting point, was organ
lied in this city yesterday. Until a per-
manent organization is effected, Vim. II.
Simmons and A. A. Beaton, the we'll
known labor men, act as chairman and
secretary, respectively. The purpose OF
the organization, which is becoming
quite common throughout New England,
is to act as an auxiliary in the present
great strike. 1t is an absolutely non
partisan body, whose chief object is to
relieve distressed families of striking
workmen and if possible to effect set
tlement by arbitration. The members of
the local society are confined to neither
sex, but represent every trade and class.
One effect of the strike and one which is
becoming more visible is the depression
of the lime trade. The stopping of this
important industry is arousing Knox
county people more fully to the serious
ness of the situation.

Bishops as Arbitrators.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, May 23.-It was
reported this afternoon that settlement
had been made with the locked out
granite workmen ON Cape Ann. Inquiry
at the Office of the Lanesville companies
contradicted it. 1t was learned that no
settlement was made at the Cape Ann
and Pigeon Cove quarries. One of the
company's agents said it looked hopeful
for settlement soon. On what terms
he could not tell. The workmen are
glad that Bishops Brooks and Williams
had been suggested as arbitrators to set
tie the difficulty as they are both New
Englanders and they believed justice
would be done to all parties. There are
a large number of men at Bay View,
Lanesville and Pigeon Cove idle. No
disturbances of any kind have occurred
among them.

Texas has appropriated $s25,ooo and
will add as much more. It has also
contracted for 800, 900 building. Ken
lucky has appropriated 100000 and will
have handsome building. Florida will
reproduce at Chicago old Fort Marion
for it's headquarters. Arkansas has con-
tracted for the erection of an $4,000
building and West Virginia for one
costing 10000. AS each state will, SC
far as possible, reproduce its most
marked characteristics in it's building,
the general effect will be surprising at
least, if not instructive.
Minnesota has adopted the plans pre-
pared by Mr.. w. Charming Whitney, of
Minneapolis, and its building will be
of italian Renaissance style of architec-
ture and in perfect harmony with other
exposition structures. The framework
of wood will be covered with staff to
give the effect of stone construction. In
this it will resemble most Of the state
buildings. The so called main entrance
will be in plain style, but the opposite
side will more faithfully represent the
state. The entrance there is through a
portico having rusticated dome columns,
and on the entablature over the center
the name of Minnesota will appear in q
raised panel.

lSpec1aI CorreSpondence.J
CLYDE, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The appar-
emily strained relations existing between
this country and Canada have renewed
public interest in our coast and naval
defenses, both maritime and inland.
As in past misunderstanding with
Great Britain the coast line of our
great lakes was an important vantage
ground, SO would it be in case of fur
Their unpleasantness. But important as
are these great inland seas, and vast as
is the territory exposed to attack along
their borders, there is no means of reach
ing them with armored vessels except
through British territory. To be sure,
at scme points on the upper lakes there
are extensive shipbuilding yards that
might on occasion be impressed into
building vessels for defense, but even
then Lake Ontario wculd be isolated, as
no vessel could reach it, either from the
upper lakes OF from the ocean, except
by passing through waters entirely
within British territory. That such a
proceeding would not be permitted in
time of war is evident to any one.

lumberman, with his ak and rifle, on
the other. Over the roof of the por-

shelter as smoking loggia and place Of
observation. In the spandrils of the
arches Of the loggia, between the two
wings, are shields with the coat Of arms
of the state of Minnesota and of the
United States.
The Nebraska building has perhaps
the best place of any state building on
the grounds, as it fronts south ON Fifty
seventh street, while magnificent
boulevard borders it on the east and a
large lake on the west. It covers 5000
square feet and has 10000 square feet of
floor space. Its dimensions are go by 100
feet, two stories high. The style of archi-
lecture is strictly classical, of the Co
rinthian order. The east and west fronts
have wide porticoes and there are large
wide steps on all sides, which cover one
third of the length of the building. Each
portico Is supported by six massive col
umns, which run the full length of both
floors and to the under side of the cor.

TRUTH ABOUT PRICES.
How They Have Been Reduced Undo
the Mckinley Tariff.

How They Have Been Reduced Under
the Mckinley Tariff.
Our readers will remember how we
squelched the Mckinley prices liars
some months ago by our compilation of
comparative prices of common necessi-
ties used by the people. We showed
that almost everything they bought was
cheaper in 1891 under the new tariff
than in 1889, before it passed, and very
much cheaper than the same things sold
for in 1857 under a tariff for revenue
only. Well, since then we have noticed
that prices of manufactured goods have
continued to fall, so we sent to our thou
sands Of agents in all parts of the coun-
try for later reports On prices. They
have all come in now, and we have com.
piled a new comparison, showing not
only that prices were lower in October,
1891, than in October, 1890, but that
they are lower now than in 1891. Ii
clinches the lie on the prices liar right
down to date.
Below is presented this latest exhibit
Of the retail market prices which the
great majority of the American people
have paid and do pay for what they buy.
They were gathered in every instance by
a reliable and reputable person from the
books and daily transactions of retail
stores throughout the Union. The aver
age of all the reports for each article is

The business OF the company mas OF laue
become so depressed that it is seriously
proposed to wind it up. The company
is a limited me and was formed in 1881
with a capital of FL, $780, 900 to conduct
the business of the late Sir Titus Salt.
The late losses of the company is at
tributed to the Mckinley bill which has
deprived the company offs considerable
market in America. The assets of the
concern are valued at upwards of a
quarter of a million pounds sterling be-
yond liabilities. The trade liabilities
are about e2OO, OO0. The firm formerly
manufactured altogether alpacas and
woods and has manufactured plush
goods. Since the Mckinley law went
into operation the business has been re-
duced to a tenth Of its former magni-
tude. The concern once employed 1000
operatives and visitors from all parts of
the world were pointed with pride to
the model town Of Sir Titus Salt. The
news Of the condition of the company
has caused a widespread sensation in
trade circles.
