THE WEEK IN THE SENATE.
Free Wool to be the Subject Under
Discussion, by that Body,

Washington dispatches indicate a
general expectation in the Senate,
from members on both sides of the
chamber, that the wool schedules
of the tariff bill will be reached, for
final consideration, during the pres
ent week. There is a tacit agree
ment among the Republicans and
Democratic leaders that the debate
shall be continued under the five
minute rules on the wines, cotton
manufactures and tax schedule.
Senator Aldrich, as the representa-
tive of the Republican side Of the
chamber expressed the opinion that
these schedules would be disposed
of with very little delay, He said
that the understanding forfive-min-
ute speeches would not be contin-
ued when the wooden schedule
would be reached, and he expressed
the opinion that three or four days
debate would be necessary before
the wool and woolen schedule is act
ed upon. Some of the Democratic
leaders think the schedule may be
disposed of in two days. This sched-
ule will develop one Of the most inn
portant debates connected with the
bill. Next to the duty on sugar,
free wool has attracted more at
tention than any other item in the
bill and there can be no doubt that
many Republican Senators will
make speeches vigorously assailing
the Democratic position. The Dem
ocrats, while not expecting or hop
ing to secure consideration of this
schedule under the five minute rule
are nevertheless hopeful that they
can make an arrangement for the
fixing of a definite number of days
for the debate. 1t is understood
that this is one end they have in
view and arranging the preliminar-
les for night sessions as they have
been doing in securing pledges of
Democratic Senators to remain un-
til the Steering Committees shall
consent to adjournment each day.
This is to be an elastic arrangement
and the late night sessions will be
resorted to only in case of evident
determination on the part of Rep
ublican Senators to delay vote.
This is not expected on any of the
items which precede the woolen
schedule, nor do many Senators
think it will be undertaken in that
connection. The Democratic lead
ers, however, regard it best to be
prepared to meet the emergency if
it should present itself. They desire
also, if it should prove that there
are to be an unexpected number of
long speeches on the woolen sched-
ule, to work them off as rapidly as
possible if they have to resort to
night sessions for that purpose.
eve do not, said Senator Harris
want to impose any unnecessary
hardships, but we want to make'an
impression on the bill during the
week."

his confrere of 1893. The general
satisfaction that the apparel scheme
of '93 gave is mainly responsible for
its retention and for the discour-
agement of the formulation of new
ideas. Those who studied carefully
the trend of fashions during the
latter part of the summer and out
ing season of 1898 will find therein
ground for impressions which give
the correct key to the present sea-
sons styles. The only field in which
exploitation has been encouraged
to any extent is in suitings. The
smart tailors have prepared lines of
fabrics which are remarkable for
the great variety of effects shown
and the predominancy of light
shades"

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington dispatches, giving
proceedings of both houses of Con
gress, state that the Senate on
yesterday entered on the eleventh
week of the tariff debate. At the
opening of the session Mr.. Morrill,
was granted the privilege of ad-
dressing the Senate for a few min
utes in support of his amendment
to the naval appropriation bill, au-
thorizing the appointment of the
Superintendent of the United States
Naval Observatory from civil life,
at salary of $1,000, and providing
for the reorganization of
the observatory, Mr. Morrill, point
ed out at length the advantage of
placing at the head of this Ma
tional Observatory man who has
made the science of astronomy a
life study.
After some further discussion,
the Senate resumed consideration
of the liquor schedules of the tariff
bill.
In the House an air of general
listlessness was everywhere appar-
ent, and it was evident that the
members were not in a working hu-
NOR. The day was claimed by Mr.
Heard, Chairman of the Committee
on the District of Columbia, but
while several bills were considered,
no action was reached on any of
them on account of lack of a quo

FIRE At SALEM.
3. & N. Railroad Work Shops Burned-A Hot
Blazs-Loss. $4,000.

SALEM, Mass, Aug. 19.-This afternoon
there was fire in the machine shop OF the
Boston Maine, foot of Norihey street, on
Northern river. The works are used for
the construction of bridges, switches and
supplies, and were fitted with improved
machinery in every department. When the
fire was discovered, it was small blsze IN
the dry house, but the house was full OF
dry lumber and soon beyond saving.
A genera! alarm was sounded, but owing
to lack of horses thare was long delsy
in getting the relief steamers to the fire.
The works were so located that it was i'm
possible to get back of the fire and fight II
from that side, and it was soon evident that
the flames would make clean sweep to the
railroad track. From the dry house the
flames commune ated to the long 2 l-2 story
carpenter shop and planning mill. This
burned like shavings. The welding shop
was soon entirely consumed.
The works comprised the manufacturing
plant of the maintenance and way depart
ments, and here were manufactured all the
bridges and gates, switches and supplies
not let out by contract. Loss, about S5o,-
600; Insured.
Rails on the main line were badly wrench
ed by the intense heat. Whether the works
v ill be rebuilt in the same location, is very
doubtful. Duplicate trusses and bridge
tressles for nearly all the bridges on the
road, and large number of valuable pat
terms stored here were destroyed. Edward
Hatch, head pattern maker, lost $500 worth
of tools.

VIGiLANT ATTACKED.
The Field Gives Prominence to a Violent
Letter Against Yankee Yacht.

LONDON, Aug l9.-The Field of Satur-
day gives prominence to violent letter
against the Nigilant, which is said to be a
true reflection of English comments heard
| on all sides, but which have not yet APP
pearcd in print.
The writer of the letter says that inter
national courtesy has been overione, es-
pecially as, in his view, this courtesy is not
reciprocal. 1t is asserted that the Amcri-
cas- cup was defended by construction"
which in no way conformod to British
ideas of a yacht, and that shifting ballast
was used during the cup races. 1t is also
claimed that the cup challenger Valkyrie
was crowded by excursion steamers.
The letter then rccounts certain alleged
violations by the Vigilant of the British
Yacht Racing associations rules as to
wooden bulkheads, fittings, etc, and says
that the Vigilant was not measured
until British patience was exhausted.
The writer to the Field asks if the Vigi-
liant is to be allowed to break every rule
with '.an empty she'll for a hull, which is
ineligible to compete with racing yachts
and with crew OF Norsemen and English
sailors"
In conclusion the Vigilant's critic re-
marks that Britishers boast in their nat
ional pride "of British ship, not a ma
chine with British canvass and manned
by Britons."

NEW BEDFORD MILLS
Preparing for the Most Bitter Labor Struggle
Ever Known. ~

New BEDFORD, MASS, Aug. l9.-The
mills here have been ordered to shut down,
tomorrow morning, when a general strike
will be inaugurated. The manufacturers
have made no overtures as yet and all day
long labor men have been busy completing
arrangements for the successful carrying
on of the strike. The executive committee
of the National Spinners' Unions in Bos-
ton, today, levied tax of so cents head
per week on every member for three weeks,
with the sole purpose of aiding the strikers in
this city. The Rotch spinning mill, Rowland
Mills and City mill will run their plants un-
til noon, tomorrow, and the spinners will
attend to the machinery to see that it is not
injured. Lively times are expected
tomorrow. The loom fixers, instead of
reporting for work, will report
at G 80 at Spinner's hall, when some ar
engagements will be made for joining the
other organization in mapping out gen.
eral plan to follow during the strike. 1t
promises TO be one of the most bitter fights
ever seen in the history of cotton strikes in
this country.

THE MERRIMAcK MURDER.
Country For Miles Around Excitcd-Search
For the Murderers Going On.

OF the MufueferS SOAIiS ous
MERRIMACK, Mass, Aug. 19.-The en-
tire town and country for miles around is
greatly excited over the brutal murder of
Edward Crosby, who was killed by three
burglars early Saturday morning. State
Detective Hammond, with several officers,
Is here, and the country is being secured
for the fleeing murdtrcrs. AS yet, how
ever, no trace of them has been found, al
though it is reported that three mon were
seen driving in the direction of Plaistow
early Saturday morning.
Saturday forenoon a gun, which the
burglars took from Jacob Crosby's house
Friday night, was found under some vines
near the place, and some small articles of
little value were also dropped by the burg
lars in their flight. @
The police have but meagre descrip-
ton of the men, which is given by son
of Jacob Orosby's, who saw the shooting.
He says that all three of the men were tall
and wore masks. They were dressed in
dark clothes. When they attacked Crosby
one of them struck him over the head with
a revolver. Crosby grapplcd with him
and the other two burglars then assisted
their comradc. They struck Crosby sew
cral times on the head and face, but he
would not release his hold. One of thel.-
then fired two shots ut him and he fell to
the ground dying. The burglars then fled.
The police believe that they know two of
the men and think one is q former EN-
ploye of Crosby's.

declaring that Governor Jones was frudu-

greater fraud was committed at the recent
state election. They conclude as follows:
Resolved-That we will no longer submit to
such fraudulent and corrupt methods, nor will
we recognize and sustain government
brought into power through such improper
agencies and we here and now declare our pur-
pose and intention to have, and maintain our
rights under the constitution and laws OF the

of purpose on our own part, we hereby organ
ize ourselves into an honest election league,

conserving the rights Of American citizens as
guaranteed under our form of government,
and every one of us hereby pledge themselves
as a law-abiding citizen to act with and sustain
every good citizen in every honorable way for
the execution of this purpose,
That part of the resolution which sayi
that they will not recognize and sustain
the state government is regarded as revo
lutionary and on this point trouble is OK
pected if the resolutions go through.
