LOOKING BRIGHTER.

Many OF the Factories at Newark. n. j.,
Resuming Operations Oh Full or Part
Time, and Manufacturers Saw the Out
look Is Growing Brighter-The Building
Trades Showing the Most Depression,
Sixty Fer Cent. of Carpenters and Masons
Being idle.
NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 22.-A large
number of the factories of this city
have resumed operations on full or part
time and the manufacturers say that
the outlook is much better than it has
been. The hat trade is picking up and
most of the shops have full compile
ment of hands at work. The fires have
been started in the large furnaces in
the melting department of the Atha
Il Hing works. These works have
been closed down since July 8 of
last year. The employees of the GEN
eral Electric Co. are working in sew
eral departments until 7:30 in the
evening. The Wat.s-Campbell Co..
machine and engine manufacturers,
start up on full time to-day. The Boy
den Shoe Co began work on full time
few days ago and the proprietors say
there is every indication of a good
spring trade. The other leading shoe
factories are also open. The Clark o. N.
L. and Marshall thread mills are run
ming on nearly full time. The Sergeant
Manufacturing Co., makers of sad
dlery hardware, are running on three
quarters time SAT the Balbbach re-
fineries as many men are employed
now as ever before. The L. F. Howell
Leather Co. began work to-day on
full time after many weeks of idle
ness. Hugh Smiths patent leather
factory is also working on full time.
Heller & Merz ultramarine blue works
are going on full time with full
force of men. Lissa & Co., trunk
manufacturers, began work on three
quarters time last week, after pro-
tracted idleness. The building trade
is dead, and so per cent. of the masons
and carpenters in city are idle

BOSS M'KANE'S DOMAIN.

The Reception Accorded Frank p. Cot
trell Deiuded Young Man Who
Imagined He Could Serve Legal Papers
at Gravesend Beach without the Con-
sent OF the Boss-He Knows Better Now.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23 Frank p. Cot
trell. a young man living in Brooklyn,
paid q visit to Gravesend Beach on Sat
urdav night and, If the story he tells
be true. he was the victim of an out
rage at the hands of several of Boss
John y. Mckane's henchmen. The
scene from all accounts was similar to
that in Gravesend on election day, when
a number of men went 70 that place to
perform duty delegated to them by
the courts and were assaulted by Nc
Kane men.
1t was in connection with election
day occurrences that Mr.. Cottrell Wis
tied Gravesend Beach on Saturday
night. He went there as the represent
ative of the committee of twenty-five
which is now pushing the cases against
Mckane and his indicted followers, for
the purpose of serving subpenas on
Capt j. L. Hineman, of the Conev.
Island police force. and Isaac Ring,
resident of Gravesend Beach.
Both of these men are wanted as
witnesses in court. On reaching
Gravesend beach Mr. Cottrell, as he
states stopped at the saloon of Flor
ence Donovan, ex-member of the state
board of arbitration, to inquire where
the parties of whom he was in search
could be found. He claims he
was Immediately recognized by John
w. Murphy, ex-president Of the
Coney Island Athletic club, and
Mort" Morris, who was in the saloon.
Murphy and Morris, Mr.. Cottrell
claims, without any provocation what
ever, gave him terrible beating, much
to the amusement of the other men in
the saloon. Then they kicked him
out. His subpenas were taken from
his coat pocket, and he was
thus prevented from CARRYING out
the work which he went to the
Beach to do. Besides several bruises
on his face black and blue mark
showing the print of mans fingers,
encircles Mr.. Cottrell's throat.
Florence Donovan, the saloon-keeper.
says that Cottrell was drunk and dis
orderly, and that there is no truth in
his story. McKane corroborated Don
ovan's statement of the case.

a DIPLOMATIC MYSTERY.
The Infamous Policy of Cleveland in the
Hawaiian Affair.

Hawaiian AFFAIR.
Owing to the sudden and inexplic-
able silence Of Mr.. Cleveland and the
state department, the American people
are left entirely in the dark as to the
situation at Honolulu. Save only for
the vision conjured up by the pictur-
esque diction Of one OF the Corwin's
sailors who sung out over the rail:
"Hades's a-poppin down there" the civ
ilized world is destitute of Hawaiian
knowledge. A general impression,
founded on nothing more substantial
than the elusive they say"-that Min
ister Willis has presented to President
Dole demand that he step down and
let Queen Lii step up Is abroad in the
land and conjecture as to the effect
of this diplomatic communication made
to the government to which, in ap-
naturally active.
The net effect of the presidential pol
icy of concealment will be to awaken
very general suspicion that the admin
istration has sustained very serious
blow in Honolulu and desires to keep
the fact secret until ii can prepare an
explanation and a remodeled policy.
There are many ways in which action
in Honolulu might seriously affect the
Cleveland following. Perhaps the
most disastrous thing would be the
complete success Of the Cleveland pol
Icy, for news of the reinstatement Of
the queen, the return to power Of her
British favorites, the reinstatement in
the line Of succession of the half-breed
princess with her British guardian,
would be to many Americans tidings
Of crime. 1t is possible that the pol
icy of restoration has not succeeded
and that Minister Willis has been
curtly ordered to leave the islands
an order which President Dole as the
de facto head of an established govern
nent has entire right to issue. Or
there is still the chance that the inter-
ference Of Willis has led to fighting
and that by the Quixotic appearance Of
Cleveland in the defense Of an absurd
and contemplate monarchy an ordi-
narily peaceful community has been
stepped in blood. 1t is even within the
limits Of credibility that United States
the orders of Cleveland's envoy M
Speculation upon these points is Of
course idle, but mere enumeration Of
the varying conjectures in the public
mind shows how unwise is the admin
istration's attitude of secrecy. In all
proba bility the ruth, when II comes,
will prove far less sensational than the
cOnjectures And cOncealment can be
for brief time only The government
can anchor its revenue cutter far from
land and prohibit communication with
the shore, but the next steamer from
Honolulu must bring full and trust
worthy news. 1t will tax the imagina-
ton of Americans to believe that the
tidings now kept 50 dark secret
aboard the cutter Corwin can add in
the slightest degree to the stupidity
and infamy of the Cleveland policy in
dealing with Hawaii. Chicago Times

INDIGNANT DOCTORS.
The Homeopathic of Missouri After Gov
Stone with a Sharp Stick

Stone with Sharp Stick.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22.-The Homeo-
pathic society met Saturday night in
the Board of Education building, with
Dr. w. B. Morgan presiding.
The question OF having homeopatli
appointed on the state board of health
was taken up and discussed. The Sec
retary. f. d. Garfield, reported that
he had written to Gov. Stone on the
subject some time ago, but had re-
ceived no reply.
1t was iutimated that the governor
had been influenced in his appoint
ments by some of his medical relatives
who were allopaths.
A heated discussion followed, IN
which some of the members claimed
that the failure of the governor to ap-
point at least one homeopath on the
state board was an insult to the pro
fession at large. and unless he did SO
in the near future they were in favor
of carrying the matter into the courts.
The secretary was requested to write
to the Homeopathic society of Kansas
City and ask its cooperation in obtain
ing a proper recognition Of the homeo
paths of the state.

TiMETo REDUCE THE TARIFF.
Government Revenue Failing on Fast
Enough without Wilson Bill Reduction.

Government Revenue Failing or Fast
Enough without Wilson Bill Reduction.
In view Of the falling off in the gov
ernment revenues and the low condi-
tion of the treasury balance, it will be
apparent that the majority Of the ways
and means committee have chosen an
inopportune time to bring forward
their bill for the revision of the tariff,
a measure which provides for q serious
reduction of the revenue from customs
As to the extent of that reduction there
was no agreement at first. Chairman
Wilson was quoted as estimating it at
different times at from s25, 900, 600 to
$50, 600, 900, while ex-Speaker Reed, the
leader Of the minority in the house, put
the reduction at s74, 100000 Chairman
Wilson's latest estimate is contained in
statement lately prepared showing
the quantities and values Of imported
merchandise for 1892 and 1898, with the
rates Of duty and duties paid for these
years, together with the rates proposed
by his bill and the estimated revenues
under 1t, based upon like importations.
1t appears from this statement that
the duty received under the Mckinley
bill for the year 1892 was s173, ,098, All.
The duty estimated under the Wilson
bill for like period would have been
s107 600, ITO, making an estimated year.
Iy decrease of s65, 407, 800 The total
duty received under the Mckinley law
FOR 1898 was $19s, 473, 452. The duty es-
timated for like period under the VIII
son bill would be sl22 ,665, ,66s, an esti-
mated decrease of SIS, 5,7O7.78 1t APP
pears, therefore, that there is not
substantial agreement between the
estimates of Messrs. Wilson and Reed
as to the reduction on the basis of the
importations for the year 1898. OF
course it should be pointed out that
these estimates are subject to the linn
itation that they do not take into ac-
count the possible or probable increase
in the revenue to be expected from in
creased importations on the basis Of
lower duties calculation of this
kind, however, leads into the region OF
conjecture e-Bradstreet's.
KThe reports that Cleveland is d is
satisfied with his cabinet are probably
correct. Gresham is undoubtedly
disappoin tment to the president and
his party: Carlisle seems not to have
suited either his chief or the silverites
during the financial crisis. although
the country at large has no serious
fault to find with him, while Hoke
Smith and Olney have not satisfied any
body in their party or out of it and have
dissatisfied many A change in this
half OF the cabinet would be agreeab ble
