EUROPEAN MllIIARISM.

VIENNA, April 3.-Despite repeated de-
mails, it is certain that the war office plans
are shortly to increase the peace standing
OF the Austrian army. While the project
to introduce the two-year term, and thus
raise the actual strength of the standing
army to 324, 900, has been postponed indefi.
nitely, the government has decided not to
relinquish entirely some of its features.
The landwehr is to be reorgauiZed accord
ing to the twoyear system, and each of
twenty-five infantry regiments is to re-
ceive an addition of IA men. The field
artillery, moreover, will be strengthened
with twenty y-eight new batteries. The
augmentation of the twenty-five infantry
regiments will cost 100000 florins annu-
ally. The total initial cost of the change
is estimated at about 20, 900, 600 florins.
BERLIN, April ga commission Of ar
tillery experts has been testing for several
days at the Jetterbnrg a new expio-
sive which is Intended to replace
ultimately gun powder in the Ger
fatty substance of the consistency of
frozen oil. when exposed in ordinary
temperature. 1t retains the consistency
up to liz degrees Fahrenheit. A shock
or spark does not set it off. When used
in guns the explosion is obtained through
contact with another chemical compound.
The explosion is also unaccompanied by
smoke, and the detonation is inconsidera-
bic. The recoil is very slight even when
the heaviest charges have been used. The
explosive does not heat the weapon suffi-
ciently to cause difficulties in the way of
rapid firing, and cartridges once used are
easily refilled.
For the present rifle model the new COM
pound is not available, but If future tests
be as satisfactory as the recent ones it will
be introduced generally liz the artillery
branch of the service. Four models of
new army rifles having many advantages
over the rifle now in use have passed sue
cessfully the trials of the small arms in-
spectors. The inventor of all four is Dr.
Weiss of the Gera dynamite factory.

THE KNIGHTS AND THE FEDERATION.

NEW YORK, April 3.-As a result of the
clothing cutters lockout in this city, one
of the most important labor movements of
recent years is on foot. This is an effort
10 patch up the differences that have long
existed belween the Knights OF Labor and
ihe American Federation of Labor, so that
the two bodies may work in harmony in
all labor matters. A secret conference of
representatives of the various sections of

1t is said, 10 start this movement. The
feeling has been steadily gaining ground

issued by Judge Lawrence on Wednesday

head The feeling is that labor is now at

terday, but their officers We're Ill conSulta-
tion, and Secretary White said that plan
| Of warfare had been outlined which would
be a surprise to the manufacturers. 1t Is
expected that the tailors will strike today
| or tomorrow, and it is probable that the
clos kmakers will also soon take hand IN
the fight. The contractors, by whom the
latter are employed: are the ones who EN-,
ploy the tailors in the clothing traces, and
general strike of all their employees may
be ordered to tie up the entire business and
force the employers to submit. 1t the
cloakmakers strike it will throw about
90, 600 persons ont of employment, and will
involve about one thousand cloak cutters,
who may strike anyway OF their own ac-
cord.
NEW YORK, April 3.-The United Gar
ment Workers of America today issued a
circular, giving full list of all the firms
belonging to the Clothing Manufacturers
association to their customers, which is
considered to be plain case of contempt
of court in the face of the temporary IN
functions served upon the officers of the
federation.
1t was decided by the cutters and gar
,t n
the question of general strike among the
tailors to the discretion of the United
Brotherhood of Tailors, which meets to-
morrow night There are 10000 tailors.
A secret conference of the leading Off
GERS of the trades unions of the United
States will be held in this city during the
present week, to take action on the legal
ters during the present lockout.
CHICAGO, April 3.-The worlds fair
board of control this afternoon, at the con-
clusion of a conference with the repre-
sentatives of the carpenters unions, re-
fused to sign the new union scale. The
worlds fair people also decline to
arbitrate. As to whether none but non
union men shall be employed on the
grounds no decision was reached. OF the
500 carpenters employed on the grounds
about 700 are hired by the exposition
company and about 500 by contractors.
The strike, if it occur, will involve the
700 men employed by the exposition COM
pany and those employed by such con-
tractors as have not signed the union
scale--in all about one thousand men.
The worlds fair people say that strike
will have bnt little effect, so far as they
are concerned; that their work is SO far
advanced that any body who can drive a
nail can finish it, and that men 10 take
the places of any who strike will be
plentiful.

Last winter we tired Of the cape. Its degen-
GRAFTON was SO complete tina. we turned from it
in utter contempt. We saw it fall from its deli
cate. high beauty to the very lowest depths Of
coarseness and unloveiness It came out every
where and on everybody. There absolutely
nobody who could and would didn't have
cape. What matter what sort of a cape, SO
long as it bore the name? And SO the fashion
able vowed that they would forever shed the
loose garment and 90 back to the closer-fittng
coat.
But Of course a woman may change her mind.
1t is privilege never denied her, and she has
taken full advantage OF it this warm season.
How could she resist the lovely little bits OF lace
and ribbon and chiffon that have been held up
before her eyes everywhere? Why they really
couldn't be classed with those miserable cloth
and velveteen things that hung so ungracefully
from the shoulders OF SO many. These little
things deserve another name than cape; they
must be cared for to keep them from de-
struction.
This tiny one, for instance. is three founces
OF beautiful lace, not even lined. with deep
ruche at the neck of satin ribbon. Another
pretty one has ribbon run in and out through
the lace and each cape lined with rose color.
The white cashmere and white chiffon ones
are lovely, lined with thin, light-colored silk.
For more sedate tastes beautiful black lace
is worn, trimmed with ribbon.

Pensions and Life Insurance.

FROM the Boston Transcript.
The question "have you ever been Q pen
sioner2" now appears on the printed forms Of
trst-class insurance companies among the
questions to be asked Of applicants for imnr-
snce. The purpose and the working Of this
new inquiry may be best illustrated by the fol-
lowing true story: A wel-to-do business man,
In good social standing and in fourishing
health, applied recently at the Office OF . lead
Ing institution in this city for additional life in
surance to the amount OF $4,000. The med
ical examiner could find nothing whatever in
the condition of the subject under his hands
to indicate the presence Of any disease, past
or present. and supposed that his com
pany had received a promising new in
weston until the inquiry at the head
Of this article was reached. At that point
the applicant stammered and admitted that be

man as he was. pension of sl2 month The
medical examiner drew from him q tangled
series of admissions that he had never really
suffered any injury or illness emitting him to q
pension. but he had made out some sort OF a
case OF nervous shock or deterioration. at the
instigation OF a pension agent and had taken

mept, rich man though he was. on the princi-
pie that they all do it," The company re-
Fused the risk Of insuring Q man who had con-
fsssedly lieda sworn to his falsehoods for the
purpose Of securing his pension. This test has

pears on the printed blanks Of life insurance
companies.

mentally, he prefers to remain active in occu-
patton rather than 90 on the shelf Chief JUS
tice fancy, who died in 1864. had served for
twenty seven years and had been eligible to re-
tlrement for seventeen years before his death.
His successor, Chief Justice Chase, had served
only nine years at the time of his death; so he
was not eligible for retirement Chief Justice
waite could have retired year and Q half before
the date OF his death. but he preferred to remain
on the bench The list of retirements is small.
The only retirements of recent years have been
those OF Justice Hunt, who retired in 1882 at
the age OF seventy-two, and Justice Noah H.
Swayne, who was appointed by Lincoln in 1862
and who left the bench in 1881 because Of the
infirmities Of advanced age. Justice Swayne
died in 1884 and Justice Hunt in 1886,
There is no disadvantage connected with re-
tirsment except the idleness which it enforces
The law grants full pav-Sl0 500 a year to a
chief justice and SIC, 900 year to an associate
justice-to those on the retired list. But most
Of the justices do not care to be 'shelved"
After Justice Field there will be no one ell
gibie for retirement until 1898, when Justice
Gray will have reached his SEVENTEEN year.
Justice Harlan will be seventy in 1903. Both of
them have served moro than the required ten
years. Chief Justice Fuller will be seventy
years old in 1908, and he will have served IF
teen years at that time

INFLUENCE IN MEXICO.
Our Investments Now Greatly in Excess of
Any Other Foreign Nation.

Our Investments Now Greatly I'm Excess of
Any Other Foreign Nation.
From the Denver Republican.
In the three years ending with December 81.
1897, American investments in Mexico amounted
to 900. During the same time English
investments amounted to s213, SOC, 900. At one
time English investments in Mexico far ex-
ceeded those Of Americans, but, il we NAV
judge by the record of the three years named,
the latter will soon, If they have not already
done SO, occupy the leading place.
American capital in Mexico has been in
vested very largely in mines and in railroads.
During the last three years Americans in
vested $50, PSI, 900 and Englishmen s27, $50. 900
in Mexican mines. During the same time
Americans invested sl76.075, 900 and English
men $26 900 in railroads. Englishmeu
have. however. given more attention than
Americans to colonization schemes and to land
investments. They have taken the lead also in
mercantile ventures. their investments in that
direction being $S3, $50 900, against o. SIS 600
by Americans. In connection with manufac-
lures and material improvements Americans
have invested a great deal more capital than
Englishmen, the amounts being for the former
$63, 150, 600 and for the latter only S4,sI2.O0
The growth OF American influence in Mexico
has been very rapid since railroad communica-
ton between the United States and the CITY of
Mexico was established. and traveller through
the southern republic can see the results Of this
in almost all the railroad towns The increased
intercourse between the two nations is having a
good effect upon public opinion in Mexico con-
corning the people Of the United States. At
one time there was great deal Of distrust Of
Americans. hut although there is some of this
left it is 81 d ,al y dying out.
Formerly the typical American in Mexico was

Investments Of American capital have caused in
telligent American business men, and especially
mining engineers and managers, to make their
homes in Mexico, and thus the people Of that
country have had their eyes opened to the true
character Of the better class Of the American
people.
