TO CURTAIL THE OUTPUT.
Northwestern Flour MiIlers Propose
Months Shutdown.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 30.-A report has been
in circulation among local millers that
Northwestern milers had arranged a plan
whereby the total daily output of the COM
bined -four mills of the country shall be
curtailed. By this means it is hoped to
materially improve the general market.
Many Of the leading millers in st. Louie
have received a circular signed by the
Northwestern Miller asking their views as
to the advisability of shutting down all mills
from Dec. 10 to Jan. 10, inclusive, which,
it is said, will reduce the output about
2,5c0,000 barrels. The circular says: 'It Is
not contemplated that those making the
agreement shut down their mills, only that
they operate but a certain percentage OF
their capacity, so that they can take care
OF their pressing and profitable orders.
those which are the most desirable, and
forbear for a period of thirty days from
crowding and pounding an already over
crowded and demoralized market
SO far as could be learned local millers
are not favorably disposed towards the
scheme, which, in their opinion. has only
been arranged to help the millers of the
Northwest and would be of little benefit
to millers in this section.

SOME HILL UNTRUTHS.
Misstntements Regarding the Tariff
and Strikes.

ana Strikes.
AMSTERDAM, NJ Y, Oct Ex-senator
Hill spoke before an immense number of
people in this city tonight. The enthu-
siasm was remarkable for this place, and
his remarks were received with vociferous
applause. He spoke about on the line he
has taken since he began his campaign,
but paid especial attention to the tariff.
He said, in part: This city is largely de-
pendent upon it's industries for it's pros
perity. Your true interest lies not in tenn
porary nor fictitious prosperity, but in per-
manent and especial prosperity; you desire
conditions which are natural rather than
those which are forced: your workingmen
prefer steady work and reasonable wages
rather than high wages followed by periods
all. Do not be deceived by those who
ostentauously profess, 10 be your friends
ing. A high protective tariff is not for
your interest because 1t is not for the in
terest of the whole country. A reasonable,
fair and moderate tariff, one imposed for
revenue and not for prohibition, one which
will not stimulate overproduction, is what
will subserve the best interests of every
body. Much depends on Dbusiness condi-
tons, on the laws of trade and on the
question OF supply and demand. The whole
question question OF wages is & this: w When en- men are
are low, but when six bosses arc looking
for one workman wages are high. and that
situation largely comprehends and explains
the labor problem You must recolect
that great commercial panic Of 1873, when
wages disappeared, industries suspended
and fortunes were sunk. and yet all the
while the country was enjoying the alleged
blessing of exorbitant tariff under a Repub-
lican administration. The great Carnegie
labor strike at Pittsburg occurred in the
very heart OF Republican Pennsylvania,
and the industry which was the most large
ly protected. In the summer Of 1892, while
Mr.. Harrison was President the great
c., B. & Q. strike occurred under high
protective tariff, and yet the high wages
which worlxingnlen demanded were not
forthcoming. Good wages do not follow

Stale Untruths Repeated by Senator

Frauds at Chicago.

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-The declaration OF
William r. Grace. to-day. that the State
Democracy organization is supporting
David B. Hill, and is not responsible for
any Wheeler posters, is received with in
credulity by many who still insist that,
secretly, that faction Is IN favor of Hills
defeat and rolling up as large a vote as pos
sIble for Wheeler. The latter adherents to-
day expressed much qualification at the
numbers and character of the people at the
Cooper Union meeting last night, and
confident that the Democratic reform ticket
will make good showing on election day.
Many anti-Hill Democrats will, it is gen.
orally believed, vote straight for Morton,
taking the ground, as one Of them re-
marked to-day, that vote for Wheeler
will only be half vote against Hill, and
that the Wheeler votes are intended to aid
Morton any way
The Hill men are as confident as ever,
referring with special satisfaction to the
personal fight their candidate is making
and to the enthusiasm with which he is
being received by his supporters. Most of
them, however do not seek to conceal their
disappointment or anger that his candidacy
has not received open encouragement from
the national administration. The Repub-
licans abate none of their claims and insist
that with the general Republican tendency
this year and the Democratic detection
from Hill. the latter will be showed under.
There has been but little betting so far
in the campaign, but the reports of wagers
at the Stock Exchange and elsewhere show
odds on Morton not unfrequently of two
to one. Smaller odds are given on Strong
against Grant, the perfection of the Tam
many organization throughout the city
making the supporters OF the committee
OF seventy rather cautious about risking
their money. however much they may an
ticipate a great anti-Tammany uprising
The Hill Democrats were pleased, tonight,
by the announcement that Speaker Crisp.
of the House of Representatives had can
celed engagements in order to speak
this city or Brooklyn. They were also
much pleased by a letter ter t14n IL O--l

speeches at a number of meetings this

trict is regarded with much favor by the
practical politicians who are allied with the
committee OF seventy. they think it will
have a good effect on class of voters who
always wish to see their candidate and
know something of his personality.

at the Democratic State headquarters in
conference with Chairman Hinckley and
others. Richard Croker was also visitor.

ROBBERY AT CHICAGO.
Jewelry store I'm the Heart of the City
Looted by Two Men.

CHICAGO. Oct 90.-A daring robbery
was committed in the heart Of the busi-
ness center Of the city this afternoon. The
amount of plunder secured is not exactly
known, but was given as $4,000. in watches
and other jewelry. Soon after O'Clock

the Office. leaving his son in charge. The
office OF the firm is in Room ! on the first
floor of the building. 1t is located in the
southwest corner and in plain view OF
occupants of the Office buildings round
about. Young Brethauer says ne was
bending over a showcase OF watches IN the
rear sof the room when two men entered
the door. One of them carried revolver
in his hand and the other was armed with
a piece of lead pipe about two feet long.
The. jeweler was commanded TO throw up
his hands which he was not SLOW In doing.
The two men then ordered him into the
vault the door of which stood OPEN
Brethauer demurred, and one or the men,
he says, caught him by the throat. threw
him into the vault and pushed the door
shut. The thieves then proceeded TO ran
sack the showcases and scoop the watches
into a gunny sack. The door OF the safe
stood open and the bandits emptied the
cash box in 1T, obtaining considerable
sum OF money. All this required only n
few moments and the men soon made
their escape. The senior BreChauer re-
turned about $3.50 and soon heard sound
of pounding on the vault door. The vault
door hastily opened and the imprts-
oned man taken out nearly exhausted. SO
far no trace Of the thieves has been OBJ

THE MACQUEREAUX.
Band of Frenchmen Who Call Them
selves "Les Chcvaiiers D'Amour."

DENVER, Col, Oct. 30.-The autopsy in
the case of Marie Contasslot. a French
woman who was found apparently
strangled to death early Sunday morning.
leaves her death stili mystery. The cor
oner's jury can only decide whether she
was murdered or not. Il is said there is
secret society on Market street known as
''The Macquereaux. composed of French
men who bring women from France, they
agreeing to pay a percentage to the society.
1t Is also said the members have banded
themselves under the high-sounding name
of Les Chevaliers glamour" The police
believe this organization is responsible for
the death OF Lena Taper, who was
strangled in nearly the way as was
Marie Contasroit, in the same vicinity,
short time ago. Recently a woman came
to the chief of police and asked 10 be pro-
tected against ,ot of Frenehmen who
were trying TO drive her from the street
She said that members OF the dacquereaux
were trying 10 persecute her because she
refused to join their organiza ton.

BOARDED BY PIRATES.
One THOUSAND Boxes of Petroleum
Stolen from nm Italian Bark.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 3O.-A cablegram
from Gibraltar says: "The italian bark
Scutolo, Captain Stanta, from Philadelphia,
Sept. q. for Naples, has been boarded by
pirates off Morro Neuvo, Africa, who plum
dered the vessel and escaped with LOCO
boxes of petroleum"
The Scutolo was loaded by the Atlantic Re-
fining Company of this city. She had on
board 1902 cases of refined oil consigned
to the Italian-American Oil Company, Ma
pies. When seen to-day, George ID. Ali,
who has charge of the shipping depart
ment of the American Refining Company,
said that the Gibraltar dispatch was the
first intimatior that he had received of the
Scutolo falling into piratical hands He
was not greatly surprised, however, as 1T
has been but short time since a British
vessel was boarded by pirates and the en-
the British and Moorish governments had
quite dispute over the affair. The Scutolo
carries a crew of twelve men, including the
captain.
