YARN VS.. COTTON MILLS
Seems TO be Substance of Situation
at New Bedford.
Viewers Propose 10 Make Their Issue Com.
planes With Particulars Bill.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2l.-The
strike situation, tonight, is apparently
changed but little, neither eide having
made any concessions, today, and the situa-
,ion has resolved itself into fight between
the yarn and cotton mills. 1t is thought
that in less than week after the How laod'
Pierce and City Manufacturing Co. mills
shut NJ, all the other yarn mills will be run
ming, but the other mills will make fight
for while and then make concessions to
the spinDers, who will 90 in, compelling The
other operatives to follow. The notices
posted on the Wamsutta mill gates, today
indicate bitter strike the help being called
''late employees"
The situation among the weavers is vastly
different than among the other class Of
operatives. The weavers contend that they
not only suffered cutdown in wages by
actual reduction, but cntdown by being
paid by the pound. The bitternessI Of
their sentiments was demonstrated, this
afternoon, at the mass meeting ON South
park, where hundreds listened TO an inter-
esting appeal from Secretary Hart OF their
union.
The meeting was called to see how the
weavers felt on the particulars bill. The
a meeting of the union weavers, Monday
morning, and resolution passed
to that effect, that the weavers do
not return to work until particulars are
furnished and that the particulars bill be
made the issue Of the strike so far as the
weavers are concerned. The chairman
further said that he was not going I'd be cut
down, but expected to have his wages; cut
soon after he returned to work, and the
new goods would be put in, which would
probably be equivalent to a reduction OF
from Is to 20 per cent.
Secretary Hart stated that it was appar-
ent at the mass meeting of the weavers.
Friday, that the sentiment was favorable
as much striking for particulars as against
reduction. The failure to get particular
furnished an equivalent to a reduction oil
25 per cent. The chairman called for a
vote on the motion, that the weavers do no
return to work until the manufacturer
agree to comply with the particulars bill. It
was carried unanimously, and cheers REM
the air to show the weavers' enthusiasm.
Andrew G. Pierce, in an interview, to-
day, said ave are Indifferent on the
question of the strike so far as its effect
upon the mills is concerned. We are en-
tirely willing to shut down under the cir
cumstances."
The board Of trade committee on arbitra
ton met, tonight, and received visit from
j. J. Connolly, secretary of thu
Card ard Picker Room Association
Mr.. Connolly stated that he spoke
with authority and said the secretaries
of the other labor organizations wished The
committee of arbitration to bring about
conference With the mill managers. Th'
secretaries were willing if the mill man
ayers could conclusively prove that it wa
necessary to make reduction in wages il
order to run the mills, to try and brinl
about peaceful end of the strike, eithe
by accepting the reduction, curtailing tn,
production or taking vacation.

MEMBERSHIP FALLING OFF
But the Financial Standing Of Sons Of Veterans
Is Most Satisfactory,

DAVENPORT, Ia, Aug. 2l.-The 18th

The reports of the senior and Junior

Can More Tariff Speeches be Delivered on the
Floor Of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The Repub-
licans say there will be no more business

of the bill correcting the alcohol schedule.
The Republican leaders say this session
Is over, to all intents and purposes and
they include in this the making of speeches
as well as the passing of bills. .sl
From the time the senate met yesterday
until it went into executive session,
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky was ready
to make speech The Kentucky SEN
ator desires to defend the action of the

is also understood that Senator Allison
of Iowa was ready to make speech of
some length on the part of the status of
tariff legislation. So .ast- t-i
1t spossible that both of these speeches
will be made by the courtesy of the senate,
although the Republicans said that no
speeches would be made, and that the, in

Senator Lindsay should get the floor he
could not be interrupted by points of no
quorum as he could not be taken off the

the attempt is made to call up the resolu-

can be made, and the present indications
are that when the senate meets again there

Photographic Experiments.

Among the recent announced inn
provements in Photographic methods
and materials, mention is made of a
new substance produced by soaking
cellulose fiber in Is per cent solution
of caustic soda and then exposing the
resulting compound to the action of
carbon disulphide vapors for three
hours in a closed vessel; a yellowish
mass is thus formed, which gives a So
luton of great viscosity when dis
solved in water and from which it is
precipitated by the addition OF alco-
hol or salt and water, while its solu-
bility is destroyed by heating to 90 de-
grees c., this converting it into a
horny, structureless mass of cellulose.

is said to be possible to coat glass

A newly proposed system of pave

sents, as it's principal feature com
bination of interlocking prism oidal
blocks in conjunction with concrete
supporting foundation, with boundary
curbs of the roadway, and grating
of cement or asphaltum by means of
which the blocks are firmly interlocked
and are intcrdependent upon each

foundation is entirely relieved from
the pressure which would arise from
any one block independently AS
every block is supported in one direc-
ton between two others which have
diverging bases while in direction
at right angles with these, it In turn
serves to support the AUDITING ends of

Conveying LIQUID Air.

Among the recent successes of
chemical science is Prof. Dewar's con-
veyance of a considerable quantity of
liquid air from London to Cam bridge.
Condensing the various detailed ac-
counts of this achievement which
have appeared, the simple fact may be
stated that the liquid air was carried
in a double glass, vacuum jacketed
flask, the space between the inner and
outer TASKS containing nothing but
extremely attenuated mercurial vapor
together with IA little liquid mercury.
On pouring liquid air into the inner
flask, it's outer surface is rapidly COW
cred with mercurial film of extreme
thinness, forming reflection surface
highly impervious to radiant heat AS
soon as this is formed the whole appa-
ratus is packed in solid carbonic acid,
which at once freezes the liquid mer-
curry, arrests the deposit upon the mir
ror, reduces the mercurial vapor to an
infnitesimal quantity, forms an al
most perfect vacuum, and supplies an
enve lope so degrees below zero; thus
protected, the liquid air was conveyed.

Oceans Are DRYING Up.

The theory of the inevitable drying
up of oceans, as lately propounded by
Transchold, Russian geologist,
claims that in proportion as certain
parts of the earth's crust rise from the
bottom of the sea above it's level, the
latter must be lowered-in fact, the
surfaces of nearly all the continents
and islands have at one time formed
portions of the oceans floor, and have
risen from the waters partly because
of the retreat of the latter; and, as
continents are formed, one part of the
waters of the seas is transported to
thena in the character of lakes, rivers,
eternal SHOWS, glaciers and organized
substances, and owing to this action
the waters of the oceans have been
constantly d minishing and their levels
lowered correspondingly. Again, in
proportion as the earth cools down,
ice accumulates near the poles and on

Foundations in Ouicksand.

The well-known German engineer,
Neukirch, in paper on making foun-
datiohs in quicksand urges that the
sand on which the founda ton is to rest
be converted into solid concrete b.
blowing into it, by air pressure, pow
dered dry hydraulic cement, using for
this purpose l p inch pipe drawn to
! point at its lower end and having
three or more g inch holes. In prac-
tice, this pipe is joined at its upper
end by rubber tube to an injector,
which is connected to a source of COM
pressed air and is fed with dry cement,
the sinking of the pipe to the depth
required being facilitated by blowing
air through it during it's descent and
setting it in motion, depth reaching
to 10 feet being thus quickly accom-
plished. After this, the cement is fed
in and carried into the sand by the air,
which, being forced up through the
former, insures thorough mixture
with the cement, and the tube is then
slowly withdrawn, the supply of
cement being continued until it
reaches the surface, the concrete
formed in this way taking several
weeks to harden and requiring some
months to attain its full strength.
Further, the whole area to be treated
is divided into a number of small areas
of about 1 square foot each, and, the
tube being sunk successfully and oper-
ated on each of the squares, it is found
that the mixture of the sand and
cement produced occupies less space
than did the sand alone before the
operation. This method of operation
as been resorted TO successfully in
nfferdam construction and sewer
., ork where such had to be laid in
uickSand.
