COTTON MILLS
Throughout New England Will
Close Down.

Throughout New England Will
Close Down.
NEW YORK, July 20.-The Evening
Post says: The effect of the proposed
closing OF the large Amoskeag cotton
plant in Manchester. n. H., during the
month of August, it is asserted, has
been generally overestimated. This, at
all events, is the view of many of the
leading cotton merchants of this CITY.
1t is regarded as probable that manv
other mills in New England, such as
the Manchester mills, the Pembroke,
Webster and China mills and the York
Manufacturing company, Of Saco, will
shut down; but nevertheless the situa-
ton is not considered All alarming one
by the New York merchants. One
who combines cotton trading with
banking, said today: THE closing of
the Amoskeag mills will undoubtedly
be followed by the closing of other large
manufacturing concerns in New Eng
land and perhaps in New York. 1t will
be done as precautionary measure to
prevent a large accumulation of goods
during the autumn. There is already
large accumulation of ginghams which
will be forced down in price if the pro-
ductiOn continues at the present rate.
A large proportion of these are goods
for the spring trade. In view of the
present financial disasters, it is hardly
to be expected that the country will
have quite recovered from the drain by
spring. so that trade will then probably
be any thing but brisk.

TIE ULTINIATUM.
Siam Will Probably Grant France
Satisfaction.

LONDON, July 21.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Standard mentions that
NJ. Develle, French minister of foreign
affairs, told the senate yesterday that
he believed Siam would grant France
satisfaction, as she realized that
France was able to exact compli-
ance with the demands made. The cor
respondent continues: 1.-The ultimatum
was forwarded late Wednesday after
noon. The substance of its text was
compared to the British embassy before
the ultimatum was dispatched. Diplo-
matte etiquette prevents the publication
of it until the period granted tC Siam
has expired. | believe it is incorrect to
say that France claims the left bank
of the Mekong river from the point
where it issues from the Chinese
frontier. What France claims is that
within reasonable period Siam with
draw from the fortified points held on
the left bank and from the islands to
which France lays claim as having in
herited the rights of Cambodia and
AMMAN. The extent TO which the left
bank will belong to France must be
settled by boundary commission. This
cannot be decided Off-hand by diplo-
matte note"

made by Representative Louis Sikorski
to a St. Paul paper that they did not
particularly desire the return of Rev.

have undergone no change, and they
still demand Misicki. Some of them are
in favor Of making it warm for SIkor-
Ski when he returns from st. Paul.
The members of the parish have fresh
cause for complaint over the TACT that
they have been ignored in the appoint
ment of the reception committee to re-
ceiYe Mgr. Satolli at st. Paul next week.
Both the Irish and German Catholic
congregations in this city have had one
OF their number named on the commit
tee, but the Poleslhave been ignored. At
a largely attended meeting yesterday it
was decided to lay the grievance of the
parish before Mgr. SatOlli, inasmuch as
Bishop COtter refused 10 grant their
desires. A committee to discharge this
task was appointed. This committee
will first telegraph Mgr Satolli, and in
case they are unable to induce him to
come to WinOna, will go to st. Paul and
wait upon him in person there.
1t is the opinion of those who are in a
position to judge that Satolli will not
interfere, but will leave the matter as
at present, entirely in Bishop Cotter's
hands,

Padded Pay Rolls SwindIe the
Company Out Of $1,000.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2O.-A spe-
cial from Topeka says that the Santa Fe
management have just uaearthed ex-
tensive frauds on that diyision of the
road included between Topeka and
Chicago. The frauds. it is said, have
resulted in loss to the road of SIT, 900
month. The conspiracy is far-reaching
in its ramificaiioDs, and included, it is
said, various officials, from assistants to
the division superintendent down to
section bosses. The scheme was to pad
the pay rolls with the names of fictitious
men and to divide the amount thus Sc
cured among the various conspirators.
When the last pay car went out notice
was sent ahead that each man must ap-
ply i'll person for his money. 1t is said
that the number of persons who sent
word that they were too i'll to go down

astonishing. Detectives have been put

Alleged Murderers of Samuel
Mead Get Off.

WAUPACA, Wis, July 20. - Sam
Stout, Tad Prior and Edward Bronson
were acquitted by jury this afternoon
OF the murder of Samuel Mead. the
trial has lasted six weeks, The result
will no doubt end in quashing the in
dlctments against A. K. Lea, A. j. Poll,
David Holmes and Rodney Chesley.
Mead was banker, and while working
over his books on the night of Oct 9,
1883, was shot and robbed of $1,000 in
cash and $1,000 in bonds. Severa per-
sons have been arrested during the ten
years that have elapsed, and one,
man named Vandecar, barely escaped
conviction. The claim was made in the
case that ended today that Mead was
murdered by gang of young men who
were out for lark, and only intended
to frighten the old man, but being rec
ognlzed killed him and took his money.
Lea has since become a leading mer-
chant of the town, and was a member of
the legislature when he was indicted.
Bronson is now leading merchant of

MONTREAL, July 2O.-A local paper
has interviewed all of the bank mana
gers in this city on the financial out
look of the United States and on the
recent failures, bank crashes, etc.
The unanimous expression is that the
repeal of the Sherman silver law will
alleviate the troubles which it undoubt-
edly brought about. The opinion is
given that the failure of Western banks
will not affect Canada in any way. and
that the dominion, outside of some losses
in the larger cities by stock jobbers,

sufficient time to enable them to not

does, that the comptroller aas faith in
the ability of the banks OF Denver to
resume and of his desire ID lend them
every assistance consistent with his
official duty"
When asked to express more fully his
views on the condition of affairs, Mr..
EckeIs said the failures at Denver yes
terday, like number of otter national
bank failures, were caused by no fault
OF the bank officials, but through fool

and whose assets under ordinary cir

remain solvent, to give the institution
every opportunity to resume business.
All the Denver banks that have failed

AN APPEAL TO MGR. SAT0LLL

Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, July 2O.-Iti is learned
here that the business portion of the
town of Even, Mich, $50 miles down
The South shore, has been fairly de-
stroyed by fire. 1t is a village of some
1000 people, and in the whole place
only two stores are left standing. The
lire is said to have been of incendiary
origin, and a message received at the
South Shore offices says the homeless
people are holding as prisoner a man
supposed to have started the blaze. He
Is almost certain to be lynched, as the
people are worked up almost to frenzy
by the loss of their property. Tele-
graphic communication was re-estab-
liShed late tonight. The loss is about
quarter of million, and the insurance
less than $4,000.
A private dispatch received in the
office of the train dispatcher at the
Union depot says that the mob at Even,
Mich, has just taken the man suspected
OF starting the fire which destroyed the
town and hanged him to tree. The
only news that can be obtained is the
gossip of the operators that is going
over the wires, but it confirms in every
particular the first news Even was a
numbering town, and has been built up
rapidly on boom. The substantial por-
tioh of the town, with the. exception of
one or two buildings. is entirely wiped
out The loss is a matter Of conjecture,
but is probably as heavy as at first re-
ported Like most numbering towns, it
possessed but little fire protection, and
the companies have written but little in
surance. A later estimate puts the III
Surance at $35, 5,OGO and the loss at $500, 900.
There are no stories of loss of life.
Nothing can be learned of the man who
WAS lynched. The operator at Even
could not give his name OF any details
concerning him.

three reasons that unite to cause the
