The Cotton splnner., Lockout.

LONDON, April 23.-The lockout Of the
cotton spinners of Lancashire shows no
signs OF being amicably settled, and in
stead of the arbitration recently proposed
having beneficial effect, the situation is
worse by the action now taken by certain
employers. In Rochdale the cotton manu-
facturers who have hitherto held aloof
from the industrial trouble today decided
to close all the mills until the dispute
with the workmen is settled.

Emperor williams Royal visitors.

BERLIN, April 23.-The Easter holidays
made little difference to the emperor. He
worked from early to late, giving the
usual audiences to ministers. etc. The
empress, who is in delicate condition,
has gone to Potsdam, which is
her favorite residence. Considerable
anxiety is felt about the health
of the czarina, who expects to be confined
in June. She is much affected by the con-
dition of her son, Grand Duke George,
who is believed to be in a hopeless condi-
ton. The condition of her daughter,
Grand Duchess Olga, whose spine was IN
iured in the Borki disaster, is grave. A
telegram which has caused agitation
in political circles was received
today, announcing that the car had
finally consented to visit Potsdam. The
visit will undoubtedly greatly influence
relations between the two empires. The
journals have received an intimation that
it is advisable to cease attacks on Russia.
1t is now finally settled that besides the
car, the king and queen of Italy. the king
and queen of Sweden, the queen regent
and the young king of Holland will arrive
here before the middle of June. The en-
peror is anxious to confer with King
Humbert, as he fears the attack upon the
Italian military credit will compel the
king to reduce Italy's European military
expenditures, thus weakening the power

OREGON TOO GREEDY.
Alleged Harbors Consume More

SENATORS FRIENDLY TO CHINA.
They Think the New Exclusion Act
How Treaties Are Ended.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 23.-ISpecial.l-
Senator Squire, in reply to the criticisms
that have been made upon him because Of
his anxiety to secure the building of the
Lake Union and Washington canal, has
gathered some figures relative to the Ore
gon appropriations. He does not include
the Columbia river at all, and is willing TO
grant that the improvements Of the Col
umbia are beneficial to Washington as
well as Oregon, but he points out some in
stances of other places where they have
received and will receive large appropria-
tons, and which altogether will not equal
the commerce of the Lakes Union and
Washington when the proposed canal is
built. The appropriations made and the
amounts yet required for Oregon points
are:
Looaihy. Appropriation Requirement
CoQuiiie river. 49,. flu5.0u sIJ0.OB1
Coos bay senrtsnce). $3.50 2,3ll.4l9
efuslaw river. 5000 1000 0
YaQuiua bay. $4,000 10000
Total .......G,0ls,75o ss.s35.n2
Or total for these four places of 81, $780,
os2. In the above nothing is said about
the Columbia river. The Lakes Union and
Washington canal will probably cost some
thing over s., 000, 600 which is a great deal
less than those four Oregon appropria-
tons. The senator asserts that the benefit
will be great deal larger than it can pos
sibly be in those Oregon Improvements.
Senator Squire is determined to get some
thing from the present river and harbor
bill for Washington, and he is massing his
facts and figures to secure that end. He
does not wish to antagonize any Oregon
interests and proposes to work in harmony
with the Oregon delegation in securing
what he believes to be much-needed inn
provements, but he intends to make his
fight for this improvement; not only now
but every year that the river and harbor
bill is under consideration.

Cholera in Franc. and India.

PARIS, April 23-Considerable anxiety
has been caused here by the report of an
outbreak of cholera near Paris. A man
living at Puteaux, village seven miles
west of here, has been admitted to
the Beajeaurn hospital where the doctors
have pronounced the case one of cholera.
Three other men from Neuilly and Cour-
bevie, both of which places are only few
miles from Paris, were subsequently ad-
mitted to the hospital suffering from the
same disease. One has since died. The
disease Is not the dreaded Asiatic cholera,
but mild form.
CALCUTTA, April 23.-A very violent cpl
demic of cholera is raging in Benares.
Yesterday $50 new cases and 1876 deaths
were reported. The epidemic has resulted
in the utter disregard of all sanitary
precautions. DR.. Gregg, sanitary
commissioner for Bengal, recently
issued a report upon the outbreak of
cholera that occurred at Serampora, few
miles northwest of this city. Over the
whole affected area he found tanks of
various shapes, sizes and depths, and
all contained very dirty water. Low,
foul jungles reeking with bad smells.
surrounded these tanks, the surface of
which were almost hidden with thick de-
caying water plants, with here and there
clear space where the inhabitants wash
cooking utensils and draw water
for domestic use. Between and
around the houses there are
narrow lanes, bordered by narrow, deep
and uneven drains, in which filth collects,
and these substances under the influence
of hot sun quickly decompose and emit
foul odors. In some places DR.. Gregg
actually observed masses of undulating
maggots in portions of decaying animals"

RENE DUHAUqE'S EXPERIENCE.
She Makes tho Trip Across the Atlantic
to Kansas City to Marry the Man Who
Promised 60 Become Her Hus-
band, but on Her Arrival Finds
Herself Deserted In
Strange Land.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 2S.-Broken
promises, a fruitless correspondence
Of a year and bitter disappointment go
to make up the story Of Refine Du-
haute's trip across the ocean in search
OF a faithless lover in Kansas City.
She found him not and this morning
started upon the return voyage to
her home in London. Refine Duhaute
is French girl, highly educated and
accomplished and while acting as gov
erness to an English family she
struck up u correspondence with a
FrGnchman named Dumas Of
Au Mans, whom she had
never seen. In 1890 Dumas
arrived in this country and settled in
Florence, Kan. When Oklahoma was
thrown open to settlement he joined
the "sooncrs' and pre-empted n claim
near Edmonds, Ok, where he now
lives In his letters to Mile. Du-
haute he pictured his life and
possessions in glowing colors. Late
in November she took first-class pas
sage for this country. He had ar
ranged a meeting place at the office of
S, Lang, French consul in this city,
where they were to be married when
she arrived. Near the last of Novcm-
Der the French consul found in his Of
flee awaiting him u handsome young
woman Of about 20 years, who plainly
showed upon her face the marks of
deep distress. 1t was Mile. Duhaute.
She had arrived the day before and
had during that time been waiting for
her betrothed to come and marry her.
She remained in the consul's Office all
day and seemed paralyzed in her utter
hclplcssness. She told the con-
sui the circumstances and he
was so deeply impressed with
the truth Of her story and her evident
distress that he took her to his own
home at the corner of Forty-second
street and Tracy avenue. Here she re-
manned until this morning. Mr. Lang
at once telegraphed Dumas of his in
tended's arrival but no response was
received. A letter was then sent.
Dumas this time answered, de-
claring that he had changed his mind
No excuse for his conduct was offered.
She received money by cable last week
from her mistress in London and to-
day she left for London.
Dumas is said now to be advertising
in u New Orleans paper for wife.
His determination to get married has
not been shaken by the trouble which
his perhdy brought to the pretty gov
erness.

once building ImprOvements--A Hum
dred Miles of Electric Road to BE
Bullt-selllng Franchises.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Every new
Office building that rises with its ten
and twelve stories in st. Louis has an
improvement on the one built the
month before, that shows what inven-
ton is doing for the convenience of the
business man. Rapid and intelligent
elevator service is the one thing needed
in these big edifices. At present, in
most of them, this is very irregular.
You may ring the bell, wanting to go
down, and along comes an elevator
going up. You have to wait till it
comes back. The newest idea is
double bell on each floor, one OF them
marked, "up" and the other "down."
You ring the bell that shows what you
want, and the elevator going your way
comes to your floor and stops. The
elevators that run continuously up and
down without bells are being aban-
doned, as there is too much waste of
power with them.
If the Assent bly, passes the street
railway bills now before 1T, over a hum
dred miles of electric roads will be
added before next fall to those now
running in the city. There are men in
the city who, taking advantage Of this
intention of the railway builders to
extend their lines into every nook and
corner of the city, are making fortunes
by keeping their eyes open and invest
ing small sums of money judiciously.
There are some of these men at every
meeting Of the Assembly. When an
application for new franchise Is
made, they take note of the route.
The next day they drive along the pro-
jected line looking for vacant lots.
Then they see the owner and offer to
pay his taxes in exchange for years
option. In most cases he is glad to
get the Offer and closes with it at once.
The other man pays the taxes and
watches the railroad bill. Ten to one
he closes the option before the year is
out, and makes thousand per cent
on the investment, as the property
jumps up at the approach of the new
road. A business of this kind could
not be carried on at all in a city grow
ing less rapidly than ST. Louis is.
There are thousands of people all
over the United States who have pleas
ant memories of visits 10 the great
woodland resort of st. Louis, Forest
Park. They have walked through it
by the footpaths, or driven along its
beautiful drives, and have marveled at
its scenery, its geological collection
and it's botanical garden. All these
tourists will doubtless be interested in
knowing that in a year or less there
will be belt line Of electric railway
running around the park and connect
ing with the city lines so that visitors
may see the park from every side and
return to their hotels without leaving
their seats. At certain points on the
line it will be possible to leave the
cars and, by walk of few hundred
Yards, reach the lakes with their boats
and music, the tennis courts and the
haunt of the wheelmen at the summit
of o lung.testing hill. The franchise
for this road is to be sold at auction,
and as it is certain to be largely pat
ronized the price will be big one.

HUTCHINSON SALT.
Declson of the Kansas Board of Rail-
road Commissioners.

topeka, Kan, Dec, 2S. - The
state board of railroad commissioners
this morning announced its decision
in the Hutchinson salt case, holding
that it was powerless to protect the
salt companies against the competi-
ton of Michigan salt.
In its petition, the salt company al
legged that the railroads charged lower
rates on Michigan salt to Kansas
points than they charge on Kansas salt
to the same points The board says
this is true, but as the most of the
roads which are complained of in this
petition do not touch Hutchinson they
can't be compelled to make joint
tariff on Kansas salt with the two or
three roads that do.
The boards find that the railroads
have voluntarily made reduced rates
on slack coal for the Hutchinson salt
companies in order to help them to
compete with Michigan salt, and they
are not to blame because it costs more
to produce salt in Kansas than in Mich
igan. Further, the board says it does
not want to be party to running out
Michigan salt, which would be done il
il should reduce the rate on Hutchin-
son salt below outside competition.
