SUNcocK, N. H., Aug. 23.--Four hun dred weavers in the China mills here did not go to work today because of reduction
 in wages equal to the cut down in the Fall erned by the scale paid in Fall River, and the operatives were accordingly notified of a 10 per cent cut down Tuesday.

OPERATORS JOIN HANDS

AND AGREE TO GENERAL SHUT DOWN
 OF THEIR WORKS.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 23.-The pub lication of the agreement to shut down the mills was @ surprise to many men when they picked up their papers this morning. Notices of the shutdown were mailed last night, but 1t was the intention to keep the whole thing secret today. The executive committee is unwilling to give out the text of the notices to the public. It was agreed that when the three- fou rths of the spin ners represented by the signers to the order should decide to rder the pursuit of a certain course the others would stand by the order that was issued. Tonight, there- fore, it is confiden tly ex pec'ed that every mill in town will close, excepd the Canon been shut down, and the Fall River Iron Works mill and the Seaconnet, which are not in the Manufacturers' association. The Seaconnet mill is running on the reduced schedule and may be compelled to shut down by the help, who Tuay stay out.
 The King Philip, American linen, Meta comet, Pocasset and other mills that are wholly running or partial idle are expected to close with the rest. There will be 2, 500 operatives out of work, exclusive of 2500 who are known as sick help.
 Secretary O'Donnell of the Spinners' union Is well pleased at the decision arrived at by the manufacturers. It relieves him and the union from very trying position in which the funds were serously threat ened.
 The weavers, of course, are in high glee, as they have obtained the curtailment for which they were seeking. The length of the shut down has not been agreed upon, but twill depend on the attitude of the operatives and the conditions of the market. Four weeks is the longest time mentioned, but there is no guarantee that it will not last longer period.
 The committee of the Manufacturers association has demonstrated that there is a greater unanimity of feeling than the members supposed existed, for at noon to- day 1t was confidently believed that every siguer would stick to the last.
 Even Agent Sanford, of whom the man. ufacturers are talking very harshly, has concluded to close the Globe yarn mills, and the Sanford Spinning company VIII also remain closed.
 Among business men and others the big lockout is regarded with much regret. Nearly s150, ,0O0 weekly will be taken out of

THE COMBINE WON.

WILMINGTON, N. o., Aug. 23.-James A. Lockhart of Anson county was nomi- mated for congress by the democratic con- vention of the Sixth congressional district at Lum berton today.

At this juncture combination was formed by some counties in the npper portion of the district and Lockhart was nominated. The canvass was one of the most energetic ever made in this state for the nomination, and the convention at- tracted unusual attention. The delegates numbered about 276, and there were 1000 to 1200 visitors present.

AFTER EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
William Reeves and His Stolen Watch Brought Together.

William Reeves and His Stolen
 Watch Brought Together.
 About eighteen months ago mining man named William Reeves had a valuable watch stolen from him one night while sleeping in Burgers corral. The next morning he put the matter into the hands of Deputy Marshal Blan- kenship and gave him the number of the movement and cases of the watch. Reeves soon after left town and before going told the officer if he ever found the watch to write to him as he would be somewhere in the territory.
 Billy, who never sleeps, ran the watch down week ago. He found it in the possession of an innocent pur- chaser, farmer near town. He wrote to Reeves at every prominent mining camp in the territory but yesterday the letters began coming back and he despaired of ever finding the owner. Late last night he found his man sit. ting in a faro game; he had travelled over half the United States since he left Phenix. He looked up and, recognizing the deputy sheriff. said "Well, what about the watch?" That's what I want to see you about" replied Billy. "I've got it for you," and they're going out to the farmers after It this morning.

 Chicago, Creates Sensation.
 LONDON, Ont. Nov. 14.-Constant Heching, a we'll known toy manu- facturer of Chicago, arrived here We'd nesday, accompanied by detective, in search of his wife and man named Victor Schroeder, with whom she had eloped. They were not at the hotels and Heching set to work to watch in- coming trains. On one of these his wife came, in company with Richard Borberg, a Chicago dry goods clerk. The pair were at once arrested. It was then learned that Schroeder, hay ing some money to collect in Chicago, had sent Mrs. Heching on ahead in Borberg's charge. Yesterday Schroe. der arrived in the city and he. too, was placed under arrest. Subsequently Schroeder, with Mrs. Heching and Borberg, were arraigned in police court on the charge of bringing stolen goods into Canada. All three were commit ted for trial without bail.

She First Wants to Hear
 China'S Proposition.
Will Then Come to ConClu-
 sion in the Matter.
The Proposals So Far Made By China Not Ones That Japan
 Could Accept With Safety.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-It is stated here in official circles that Japan has not yet accepted the invitation of the United States, to submit the question of peace with China to our mediation.
 While the statement IS probably literally correct there is reason to be- lieve that Japan has requested as pre- liminary to action upon our invitation that she will be informed explicitly just what terms China has to propose as basis of treaty of peace. Up to this moment China has not submitted any definite proposals, so that delay appears to be rather on her part than on Japan's.
 It could not fairly be expected that the Japanese would halt in their tri- umphant march and perhaps afford their opponents a very potent oppor- tunity to rally from their disorganizel condition, unless Japan is furnished with some satisfactory proposition by China that may be binding beyond question upon the latter. No such sat- isfactory proposition has yet been made by China, but on the contrary Chinese tenders so far have been on a basis that could not be accepted with safety and consistency by Japan.

COAL IS CHEAPER
An III Wind That Blows no
 Good.
The Miners Receive Less Pay, But the Consumers Are Compelled
 to Pay Less for the Coal,

By the Associated Press.
 PITTsBURG, Pa., Nov. 14.-Operators in the Clearfeld district have taken the initiative in reducing the price of coal inning. The Bell & Yates Mining company has posted notice that after November 16, rates in their mines would be reduced 5 cents per ton. About 2,000 men are affected and there is talk of strike.
 The Berwind White Mining company in the same district, employing $500 men, will probably follow this example of reduction, and general lowering of the stale rate in the district will result.
 Operators in Pittsburg district have threatened to make reductions, and they will probably be forced to this end to compete with coal in Clearfield dis trict. The reason given by Clearfeld operators for the cut is that coal is be- ing mined cheaper in that district.

 KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1.-The Missouri, Kansas and Texas train was held up near Muskeogee last night. The two Wagner cars look as though they had been in battle. The bandits intimi- dated the passengers by firing through the windows. The robbers secured abovt $500, forty watches and other jewelry. The express car was pro- tected by four armed guards, who opened fire on the robbers, eventually driving them off.
 The Wagner Car company con- ductor, Murphy, was given gunny sack by the bandits and compelled to walk ahead of them. Two robbers fol- lowed behind with leveled guns. The passengers were required to divest themselves of money and jewels and drop them into the sack. They were lenient about it, not demanding & show down from anybody, but appear ing satisfied when the passengers ap- peared to have dropped the first roll he had in his hands.
 The Wagner passengers were all in their berths and the car was quite dark. The robbers ordered more light and made Murphy do the talking necessary to convince the passengers that they had better give up. The pas sengers in the day coaches were not molested.
