A MILL STRIKE.
Likely to Be the Biggest of It's Kind
in New England.
OVER tf,OOO HAVE STOPPED WORK
A Mob of More Than 200 Surrounded the
Bristol Mill and Attacked the
Operatives as They Came
Out.

VIEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug. 21.-The
great textile strike. which bids fair to
prove the biggest of it's kind in the his
tory of New England, is on. Some fif-
teen of the non-union weavers, who de-
serted the strikers during the recent
Wamsutta strike, are at work in the
mill, and a few Portuguese are work
ing in the south end. With these
exceptions every mill in the city
is silent, and the streets are
full of operatives, who seem
to be well behaved and cheerful. 1t is
estimated that over II, 900 persons have
stopped work. Meetings of the various
unions were held yesterday morning
and encouraging reports were made.
The Rowland officials and Secretary
Ross, of the Spinners' union, are to
have conference to-day, and it is hoped
that an understanding will be reached.
Even if this mill should settle with
its employees it is thought the other
mills will hold out longer. Among the
business men of the city, however,
there is a general belief that settle
ment of the whole trouble will be
made within a week. Secretary Ross.
of the Spinners' union, said that the
members of his union had lined up for
n long strike and confidently expect
that it will be of six months duration.
At the north end of the city consider
able excitement was caused when it
was discovered that a dozen or more
operatives had gone to work at Bristol
mill. A mob of 200 people surrounded
the mill for an hour. At noon, with
forces augmented, they again sur
rounded the mill and attacked the
operatives as they came out. One boy
was badly cut about the face. The
operatives at work were obliged to re-
main in the mill. This was the only
mill at this end of the city in which a
machine was started.
The labor troubles in New Bedford

COLORADO CITY. Col, Aug. 21.-The
Tarsney outrage cases ended in farce
in Justice McCoache's court yesterday
afternoon. District Attorney Cochran
appeared before the court and asked
that the cases against all the defend
ants be dismissed. The district at
torney stated that he made the motion
for the reason that the evidence in the
cases had been received by the grand
jury, who had failed to find true bills
against any of the defendants. The
court granted the motion. Not per-
son from Denver who had been inter
esting themselves in the prosecution
was present. The people here are dis
gusted with the whole affair.

A Russian Vessel Goes Down in n Storm
Loss of Life.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20.-A dispatch
from Rybinsta. an important CONNER
cial center, situated on the right bank
of the Volga river, states that terri
BILE storm passed over that city and the
neighborhood on Friday last. The
damage done to property was immense.
The steamer Uspiekh, plying on the
river Shexna and the Volga, was caught
by the storm on the former stream.
There were 100 passengers on the ves-
sci and they were thrown into a panic
by the tremendous force of the wind,
the furious downpour of rain and al
most impenetrable darkness.
The captain, knowing that his vessel
was in great danger. headed her for
the beach, his intention being to run
her ashore. Before this could be done,
however, the vessel sprung leal: and
began to founder. AS she foundercd
her decks were blown up by the air in
her hold. Everybody on board of her
was thrown into the water, there not
having been time to lower the boats.
Despite the fury of the storm passing
vessels which had heard the signals of
distress stopped and managed to rescue
everybody except the captain and five
other persons. Nothing was seen of
these six after the steamer foundered,
and it is supposed they were drowned.

Present Congress.

Some OF the work Accompanied Dy tho
Present Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Represents
tive Dockery, of Missouri, was asked
Saturday to summarize the work OF
the session in the house. Nobody is
more familiar with the work. Mr..
Dockery said:
will begin with q summary Of the appropri-
atoms of the present session and also give
statement of some of the most important legis-
lation enacted. The secretary Of the treasury
estimates that under the new tariff bill the
total income Of the government, including post
al receipts for the present fiscal year, will be
s462 .427 74s. The appropriations Of the present
session, including the sinking fund require
ments, amount to $40 ,66S 36o.51. Deductina
from this total Of appropriations the s4s. 10000
required by the sinking fund, which will not be
met as it has not been for several years, 1t ap-
pears that the liabilities Of the government for
the fiscal year Of 1905 will be s2 66s 39s5l, thus
leaving an estimated surplus In the treasury Of
sl9. .759, ,349.49.
The items Of estimated income under the
new tariff bill ale as follows: From duties on
imports, s43,0)00O0; on sugar, s179.0)0,0OO;
whisky, sos OOo. .O0); tobacco, s33 900, 600; fer
mented liquors. $50, 900 900; income tax, s15,0Oo,
900; tax on oleomargarine, 81 100000 playing
cards, sl.OO00O0; miscellaneous internal rev.
enue. 5000 900; sale Of public lands and other
miscellaneous revenues, 10000 900. and postal
receipts, s4427,74S
The Fifty-third congress also enacted legis-
lation which has received the approval Of the
president declaring that pensions granted un-
der any law OF the United States shall be
deemed and held by all officers of the United
States to be a vested right, to the extent that
payments shall not be withheld or suspended
until after notice Of not less than thirty days
and a proper hearing.
1t has enacted law which authorizes post
masters to administer oaths in matters relat-
ing to PENSIONS; also several measures re-
ported by the joint commission to investigate
executive departments, which, it is estimated,
will reduce expenditures $500,0)0. Among the
more important of these are: The law requir-
ing enrolled bills to be printed in clear type
before being presented to the president for ap-
proval, thus avoiding costly errors; the law re-
vising the money order system; providing
uniform method of advertising for supplies for
the government service at Washington the
law abolishing the requirement for the audit
ing Of the property return" and making GER
tain useless reports; and the law reorganizing
the accounting system Of the treasury depart
ment. All these measures expedite the settle
ment Of public business by dispensing with
cumbrOus business methods.

They were themselves guilty OF re.

Judge Scott gave lengthy decision,
covering the history OF the oifenses.
In his remarks before passing SEN

be unnecessary in any other country.
