STRIKERS ARE WILLING,

Fail River, Mass. October 24.-The
Manufacturers Association met this af-
ternooD, but adjourned before transact
ing any important business. A letter
was received from Secretary Whitehead,
of the Weavers' Association, stating the
weavers had appointed committee of
five that was willing and anxious to
meet and confer with representati yes of
the association regarding the pr esent
troubles. 1t was vo ted by the manufac-
turers, after long and heated discus
ion, to consider the weayers' letter aud
formulate an answer. and proba bly,
present it to a meeting of the manufac-
turers to be called later. 1t is not known
who constitute the committee. Today's
proceedings indicate ranewed strength
on the part of the strikers, inasmuch as
the Linnen and Cornell mill weavers
left work after the parade passed. There
was diversity OF opinion among the
manufacturers at the meeting as to the
hsst course to pursue. This is much
aggravated by the reports OF the mill
meetings held during the day.

STORY WAS EXAGGERATED.
But Even What Was True is Bad
Enough


London, October 24.-Early in the year tile
Standard printed story about the horrors
of life in Russian convict settlements on
the island of Saghalien. Murder, nutilation,
starvation and cannlbalism were among the
desperate features of the settlements as
described by correspondent and an un-
broken procession of conveys with multi
lated corpses, he said, passed from Onor to
Rykovakaya. The most vicious convict who
had won the favor of the comma ndant was
represented to be the author of the worst
atrocities. His name was given as Rhakoff.
An open letter from Rykovakaya was
PUBLISHED today over the signature Of DR..
Windt, denying most of this story. Careful
researches says the writer, showed only
one case of cannibalism en- record in the
Saghaiien settlement. Three eonvicts
escaped to the forest and two ate the other.
One of the cannibals was found to be in
sane and the other was tiogged and eventu-
ally died of blood poisoning. The descrip-
tion of the endless coyoys with corpses is
described as utterly unf ounded. The mutt
lations are said to have been self-inf1icted
for the invariable purpose of escaping work.
Rhakoff, or more properly khanoff, never
has been inspector or the commandments
favorite, and never killed anybody. He is
guilty of diabolical cruelty to his comrades
and was thrown into prison where he now
awaits trial.

the reported troubles be left to Gen. Nc

action as may be deemed proper by the de-

Hallowell, October 24.-Charles varney, of
this city, aged rs, attempted suicide early
this morning by shooting. yarney was in
fatuated with pretty Belle Ferguson, aged
1S, also of Hallowel IL, and went 10 ride with
her last night. Varney had been keeping
company with Belle for some time, and last
Eight, while they We're out riding together
he proposed marriage TO her. She accepted
his proposals at first and returned to her
home on Second street, where Varnsy re-
manned till one this morning. They were
making arrangements for the wedding day
when suddenly Miss Ferguson burst out say
ing, II won't marry you.'' These words
drove Varney mad. and taking his revolver
out of his pocket he shot himself twice in
the back of the neck. Doctors were sum
moned and dressed the wounds. They say
there is great.hopes OF Varney's recovery.
The PRESS correspondent was told by some
of the citizens of Hallowell that varney
was subject to peculiar spells. Probably on
this account, and perhaps because of his In
fatuation for the giI, he shot himself.
Varney is an employe of the Augusta,
Halloweu and Gardiner Electric railroad,
and has always had the reputation of being
a steady and quiet man. This is the first real
sensation that Ha1lowen has had for many
years, SO it is the prevailing gossip in the
city today.
