STARVING STRIKERS.
Great Suffering Among Cotton
SpinnerS.
The Non-Union Hands Without Sup
port for Their Famiiies-The
Trouble No Nearer an End.
Special to THE MoRS1Ne CALI.

LONDON, Dec. "a month has elapsed
since the beginning OF the great cotton
lockout and il appears no nearer settlemen I
than at the beginning. Perfect order has
been maintained. however, throughout the
spinning districts AS the members of the
Amalgamated Association of Cotton spin
ners receive regular weekly strike pay there
has been little suffering among them. But
there is another side TO the subject not so
bright: 10000 non-union millhands are Idle
through the same dispute and with no
treasury TO draw upon. their condition is
pitiable. Thousands OF them, men, women
and children, are now reduced almost to
starvation. Paltry household effects and
even parts of their clothing have gone to
the pawnbrokers for money to buy food
The little money thus raised Is soon spent
and starvation stares the idle working
people in the face. In many mill towns
non union millhands daily parade the
streets and solicit aims. The severity of
the weather now prevailing adds to the
distress.
Application was made yesterday to q
magistrate at Oldham for 800 warrants
against operatives In arrears for borough
rates. The magistrate refused to issue the
warrants and told the kailiff to apply again
when the strike had ended.

the situation in Nebraska, Kansas, Mon

thus far been discussed. Senator German

'The Democrats of the Senate are very

BATTLE OF WORDS.
ParkhurSt Comes Back Again a,
Byrnes.
Some Scorching Language Applied by
the Reverend Gentleman to the In
spector of New York's Police.
Special TO THE MORNING. CALL

NEW YORK, Dec. e.-The clash between
Parkhurst and Superintendent Of POLICE
Byrnes has worked itself down to an open
and decidedly wrathy debate. Parkhur
gave out a caustic reply 20 ByTnes tonight.
In it he says in part:
"rhe gospel requires us to deal lenientiy
with sinners. Byrues deals leniently With
sin, which is quite another matter. His
business is TO take iniquity and make it ex-
ecrable in the public estimation, which is
exactly what he has not been doing.
''He says he has raided and closed 430
disorderiy houses. Granted. And yet he
knows there has never been time during
the past ten months when the social vice
was practlced more flagranIly than during
the three weeks subsequent TO the Novem-
Der election. He cannot have an effective
department till the animating head of 1t is
a moral inspiration TO the force. Just try
to conceive now Of Byrnes az a moral in-
spiration. He says. Hide evil from the
public view and Ii cannot corrupt the
morals Of youth Why doesn't he hide ii
from the public view?
HE says lie can show me well-trodden
path that leads from the very door of my
church, as 1t were, to disorderly house
hardly gunshot away. You acknowledge
then. do you. Mr.. Byrnes. that there is such
a house near my church that you know of,
and that young men in great numbers are
flocking to It? How is that for moral pur-
pose?
81 10th the man with an unutterable con-
tempt who. occupying a position of the
splendid authority that Byrnes does, dares
come out and publicly confess that he is
permitting, which is another way Of saying
is sustaining, one of these hellholes. l de-
mand of you, Mr.. Byrnes, that you put your
official hand on that place and crush II.
For tie Lords sake. Byrnes, when you
quote don't eulogize the gos pei in the same
vile breath with which you make that
damning Standardization. Your case Is
strongest when you say least. You better

THE COLORADO SCARE.
1t Is Not Regarded Seriously at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-1reasury officials
attach no special significance to the dis
patches from Denver regarding the panicky
condition Of the silver-mining interests OF
Colorado. The fact that many small mines
are being abandoned is taken to indicate
Simply that they are played out and can no
longer be worked at a profit. II Is held that
the recent depreciation of silver in the
London market and the predcated failure
OF the international conference to advocate
more liberal use OF silver as money can
have no direct bearing on the present situ-
alton in Colorado. for the reason that silver
has risen In value within the past few days.
Tile Treasury Department is paying half a
cent more than on Wednesday. The de-
partment to-day purchased 100000 ounces
OF silver at so S405 to S0.S41O.

STILL CLEVELAND AND HILL
The Ghost of That New York Fight

About the Senate.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a tremendous
effort is being made just now to restore per-
feet harmony within the ranks Of the
Democratic statesmen. The much-prayed-
for reconciliation between Cleveland and
Hill is spoken of as being on the point OF
accomplishment The appointment of Hill
on the Advisory Committee of the Senate is
said to have been done for the purpose of
putting him in a position to be brought in
contact with Cleveland and to make the
meeting OF the two men In consultation over
party affairs almost a necessity.
The Democratic managers are greatly
annoyed by the constant talk of factional
differences and the ever-preseut indica-
tions that personal hostility or differences
OF opinion Of the party on policy threaten
il at the beginning of it's political
triumph. As long as Mr.. Hill occupies
position of active hostility toward Mr..
Cleveland, and while there is a strong ele-
ment in the Senate which represents what
was most earnest opposition TO Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination, there will remain the
fear that there will be opposition. secret or
open, as circumstances may develop, TO Mr..
Cleveland's policy.
German, Whitney. Brice. Sheehan, MUIR
ply and number of other Democrats who
took an active part in the campaign, are
said to be making a fnal effort to bring
Cleveland and Bill together in some formal
way. Whitney is extremely anxious that
all elements in the party shonld be brought
together and that line of policy should be
agreed upon. He is well aware as are all
those on whom responsibility rests, that if
there is not perfect harmony between the
President and the two houses OF Congress
at the very opening Of the administration
there will be al awful amount of trouble
ahead.
1t Is the expectation Of Democrats here
that Cleveland and Hill will NEE, in New
York while the Senate Advisory Committee
is there, and that as a result of a general
talk on policy the irritating discords that
are being worked up will be smoothed over.
