only half dozen contractors now to be

this morning that they would sign the
agreement today. All the Jacket makers
will be back to work on Monday and mat
ters will then resume their normal course.
The strike involved about $500 men and
women
Matters are looking very bright this
morning also for the striking pantsmak-
ers Harry Hirsch, who is managing the
strike said that the battle was virtually
over and that the strikers had won.
He announced that 10S New York con-
tractors had signed the agreement and
all in Brooklyn had signed. There were
still about go contractors to be heard

in before the day is over.
The vestmakers who are involved in
local assemblies 436 and 1858 K. of L.
will hold a big mass meeting at Liberty
Hall, 257 Houston street, to Nhear reports
from the shops. The meeting tonight
will decide whether or not a strike will
be ordered. Some OF the men are very
anxious to strike and are confident OF
victory. The strike of the vestmakers
would involve about 5000 men and wo-
men.
The Knee Pants Makers Union are
also preparing for the contingency OF a
strike. A meeting was held yesterday
to formulate demands. The majority OF
those present at the meeting were in
favor of dealing directly with the manu-
facturers in regard to the questions OF
wages and hours and not with the con-
tractors.
The Brotherhood of Tailors strike is
at an end and the strikers are all back
at work. All the contractors have sign
ed the agreement with the exception OF

MADRID, Aug. II, 1S95.-F'rom present
indications it looks as though advantage
was being taken of the despatch of large
bodies of troops to Cuba to inaugurate
am active movement looking to the over
throw of the monarchy and the estab-
a concerted rising of Republican bands
in the Province of Valencia, and the
Province of Castellon de la Plana, i'm
mediately north of Valencia, and the
government is taking active measures
to quell the rising in it's incipiency. A
number of Republicans made an attack
upon the small town of Chovar, in the
Province of Castellon de la Plana, TAX
ing the townsmen and Civil Guards by
surprise. The Mayor was captured and
imprisoned and for a time the place was
entirely at the mercy of the attack
ing party. They seized all the s.rrns IN
the town and also all the money they
could find The authorities asked for
assistance from Segorbe and detach-
ment of gend' arrnes were hurried to
Chovar from that city. Meanwhile the
Republican bands had fed to the open
country, and when the gend' armes arriv-
ed at Chovar they were despatched in
pursuit of them under orders to shoot
them on sight.
Gambia, a town OF Valencia, forty
miles from the capital of the province,
was also the scene of a Republican de-
noastration. Several bands collected
there from the surrounding country anG
cheered for a republic. They then cut
the telegraph and telephone wires, and
thir subsequent actions are unknown.
a band Denia, in the Province of Ali
cante. attempted to make a demonstra-
ton, but the local authorities dispersed
them. Several arrests were made.

SETTLERS TO BE PUNISHED.
Law Found for .he Jackson Hole
Indian NEurderers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, 1895.-The In
dian Bureau has not yet sent any COM
munications to the Department of Jus,
tice looking toward the punishment of
the settlers of Jackson's Hole far the
killing of the Bannock Indians. The
apparent delay has been caused by the
fact that no law was known under
which the United States Courts could
take cognizance of the matter, it being
recognized that it would not be possi-
Bile to secure a conviction in the Wyom-
ing State Courts on account of the feel
ing there against the Indians.
1T was discovered today, however,
that the treaty of July 8. 1865. between
the United States and the Bannocks
and Shoshones provided directly for such
a case. A paragraph in it reads:-
IF bad men among the whites or
among other people subject to the au-
thority of the Uniteds States shall com
nit any wrong upon the persons or
property of the Indians, the United
States will, upon proof made to
the Indian agent, and forwared to
the Commissioner of Indian AZ
fairs at Washington. D. c., pro-
be arrested and punished according ito
the laws of the United States, and also
reimburse the injured persons for the loss
sustained"
Steps will be taken as rapidly % pos
sible to bring the guilty parties to JUS

EPIDEMIC OF qHIEVHRY.
Washington Police Trying to
Conceal Their Own
Ineffieieney.


WASHINGTON, Aug II. 1S95.-The To-
cal police are making great efforts to
conceal the fact that an epidemic OF
thievery is raging here. Highway rob
bers, burglars and petty thieves have
committed numerous depredations during
the past fortnight. but very few arrests
have been made.
The most conspicuous capture was
made last night when three alleged cat
tie thieves were caught while sleeping
in an innocent looking old steamboat
boiler that had long been conspicuous
object on the Potomac Flats.
Yesterday morning Washington detect
ives arrested Jesse Gibson, negro, while
he was trying to sell a COW which they
suspected had been stolen from Charles
Gather of Hyattsvflle, Md, near this
city. Gibson was taken to Hyattsville,
where he made a confession duplicating
three other men and giving information
which resulted in the raid on the boiler.
GUIDED TO THE THIEVES DEN.
Gideon piloted two Washington officers
and two deputy sheriffs from Montgom-
cry county, Nd, to the den where shree
of the alleged members of the cattle steal
ing gang were found asleep. They are
Peter Castor. nineteen years old: Charles
Harris. twenty-six years and Peter Gas
kins. all colored.
The later claims to be from Macon,
Ga. The men were locked up and will
be taken to Hayattsville today Gibson
told the officers that he and the other
men arrested belonged to an organized
gang of cattle thieves and made their
rendezvous in the old boiler.
RAIDED A ROW OF BUILDINGS.
Thieves raided an entire row of stores
and offices on Fourteenth street between
F and G streets just before daybreak
yesterday, entering each separately from
windows opening on a rear alley.
"A tailor shop, paper hanging establish
ment and a Japanese store were all en-
tered. while attempts were made to get
in the othr places in the row, occupied
by an engraver, a tobacconiSt, an in
surance agent and wine company. The
police are attempting to keep the facts
quiet, and little can be learned about
the matter except that only a small
amount of booty was secured.

FOR THE WINDOW.

The woman who lives in fiat must
be ingenious if she would be comfort
able. Space is at a premium and how
to use it economically is a problem.
A box window seat used for the pur-
poses and costing but s1.50 is the latest
invention. 1t consists of a packing-boX
about two and half feet high and -four
feet long, which may be bought for fifty
cents. Casters are purchased for twenty
cents, and are screwed on to the bot
tom of the box; then the cover is fas-
tened to the box with hinges. which will
cost fifteen cents. This makes it possible
for the box to open easily, and It will
be found d most convenient place for the
gowns for which there is no room in the
closets. 1t is particularly convenient for
holding children,s dresses, as there is
just room for the little gowns to be laid
out at full length.
Over the box an italian slumber robe
is thrown TO give it the effect of a win-
dow seat Pretty Italian robes may be
bought for fifty-eight cents. The whole
cost of the seat will be less than I.50. II
a little more money may be expended it

In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the
richer merchants houses the daughters $
duty is to bring water from the well
night and morning. Tt is the gossiping
place Of the village, this well, and as the
sun sets there come running down all
the girls of the village. AS they fill
their jars they lean over the curb and
talk and it is here that are told the
latest news, the latest Irritation, the lat
sest marriage, the little scandal of the
place. Very few men come. Water
carrying is not their duty, ana there is a
proper time and place for Irritation. So
the girls have the well almost to them
selves.
Almost every girl will weave. In
every house there will be a loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those of
their parents. And very many girls
have Stalls in the bazaar, but Of this I will
speak later. Other duties are the husk-
ing of the rice and the making of cher
roots. Of course in the richer house
holds there will be servants to do all this
but eyensStfle daughter will frequently
