I ees7115 vessels OF 5he-Iargest SIG ss51s-:
has come into prominence as one Of
the great repairing stations of the
world. There is great joy in the
workshops there over the prospect of
battleships Nos. 5 and 6 being con-
structed there, the bid Of the Newport
News company being $4,000 below
the next lowest competitor. It ap-
pears that the navy department can
save 100000 by building both the
Kearsage and her sister there instead
of awarding one to the Pacific slope
where still. another additional expense
would result from paying the freight
across the continent Of all armor and
equipment. Under these circum-
stances, President G. 7. Orcutt Of the
Newport News company is confident
that both battleships will be built IN
the Southern States.

Between Conditions Now
and in 1872.
New York, Jan. 1.-Eor the first time
in twenty-five years mayor not Of
Democratic faith is at the head OF the
city government. William L. Strong,
who was today inducted into Office,
represents very much the same condi-
tons and social elements that asserted
themselves in 1872 in the elevation Of
William f. Havemeyer to the mayor
atty. In both instances there was a
revolt against municipal corruption;
upon both occasions public sentiment
was centralized through the medium OF
committee OF seventy, the main pur-
pose in 1872 being to overthrow the
Tweed regime and in 1894 to correct
abuses known or suspected in the Do
lice and other departments OF the city
government.
Shortly before noon the outgoing and
incoming mayors met at the city hall.
After the usual formalities and intro
duction of several heads of depart
ments to Mr.. Strong, Thomas f. Gil
roy took his departure from the may
ors office and as he has announced.
from political life.
The conditions of the new officials
will be somewhat changed. The new
state constitution goes into effect to-
day. Under it every species Of gam
bling is a criminal offense. Rumors
of intended designations by many Off
Gals are rife, but it rs generally be-
lieved the men in possession will hold
on until they see whether a power of
removal bill will be passed at Albany.

Addressed BY Miss Frances p. viii
hard and Indy. Somerset.
Haverhili, Mass. Jan. 1.-The demon
stratien of the strikers OF this city to-
night was by far the Largest Of its
kind ever held here. Five or six
thousand shoe workers and their sym
pathi7ers paraded the principal streets
while fireworks and decorations greet
ed the men as they marched. The
procession made its way to the city
hail. where mass meeting was held.
J. NJ. Casey presided and introduced
Miss Frances e, Willard, who delivered
a stirring address, urging the women
TO continue their work of organiza-
ton. She expressed sympathy with
the working people and advised them
in their struggles for the right to
maintain the respect of their fellow
men, which could be accomplished in
no better way than by the refusal to
have anything to do with intoKicants.
Lady Somerset WIS then introduced.
She said that while she was unable to
discuss the local aspect OF this matter
she knew that the strikers Werepsnak-
ing fight for manhood and, woman
hood and urged them to stand out per
sistently against the greatest tyranny
the world has ever known-the modern
capitalist. She made an eloquent APP
peal for trades unions among women
and told what it had ACCOMPLISHED
among women in England.
Mrs. Henry Hicks, of London, spoke
OF the working peoples condition IN
London and expressed her syufpa thy
uition everywhere.
Labor leaders followed these speak-
eTs and the meeting closed amid great
enthusiasm.

LANDENBERG. THALMAN & co.

New York, Jan. 1.-TMe announce
ment was made today by the banking
firm of Landennurg, Thalman & Co.,
OF No. 46 Wall street, of its enlarged
connection with S. Bleicheroder, of
Berlin. The announcement has arous-
ed considerable interest among bank
ers here.
a. L. Thalman & Co.'S partnership
expired by limitation Dec 81. 1t is or
gained under the old name to run till
Dec 81, 1899. Adolph Landenburg. Au-
gust Thalman and Richard Limberger
are the general partners. julius
Schwabach, Hans Won Bleicheroder
and Joe Won Bleicheroder, members Of
the Berlin firm, are special partners,
contributing Sl,5O0,000 to the firm S
capital, or 100000 more than in the old
firm. ri
Mr.. Landerthurg said tonight:
THE half million contributed in adj
dition to the original million has no
Significance. The only changes in the
personnel of the firm are the entrance
of the boys of old Baron Gerson Won
Bleicheroder. The old gentleman was
member of the firm and a special
partner for number of years until
his d2ath in 1893. The boys practically
take his place"

ParkhErst.
Albany, N. Y, Jan. lin an interview
this evening with an Associated Press re-
ported Senator Lexow said he had no
answer to make on the criticisms on the
work of his committee contained in DR..
Parkhurst's manifesto. Obviously the
best answer would be to point to the
committee and say; "By their works We
shall know them"
Senator Lexow said he had too high a
regard for DR.. Parkhurst to say that he
is actuated by any but the highest and
purest motives in what he says or does
But" continued Senator Lexow, sit
is strange indeed that when the crucial
point was reached and Superintendent
Byrnes was on the stand, as everybody
knew he would be last Saturday, nothing
that was suggested was not done. And
yet this criticism. Throughout the entire
examination Mr.. Moss stood at COTS side
and co-operated in the conduct of the
inquiry 1t is unnecessary to add any
thing to this
The senator then said: "As to a deal,
it is plain one could not be effected I'M
less through a co-operat ton Of a majority
of the committee, acting in conjunction
with all the counsel. The statement of
charge Let anyone suggest a question
that was not put, a charge that was not
made, an indictment that was not brought,
for anything, in short, that was omitted,
before they criticize.
ITO my mind the meat of the statement
is to be found in the declaration that the
senate has uncovered all the corruption
in existence in the police department, and
there still remains work for the Society
for the Prevention of Crime to do. 1
wish them God speed in this work.

who goes to America to present an ar
bitratfon memorial to President CleVe-
lang and Congress, the Times says:
There is no doubt but that the me-
mortal represents British opinion, but
we doubt if the procedure is altogetf-
er desirable. 1t savors somewhat OF
impertinence. We feel, however, that
it will not be so interpreted in Amer
lea, its aims being so obviously de-
signed in the interests of two great
kindred communities.

Someone knocked it out of his hand and
it fell on the floor. Oil was spilled on
the floor and the flames started to run
along the side and across the rear OF the
building, where was the only outlet to
the hall, cutting off all eSreSs. PanIc

THE IMMIGRATION AGREEMENT.
The Canadian Pacific May Break
Away From 1t.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Jan. There is
some prospect that the Canadian Pa
cific viii break away from the immigra-
ton agreement entered into at Chicago
recently by the trans-continental lines.
a Canadian Pacific official said today
that there was such a reluctance to
carry out the agreement on the part of
the American roads that he did not be-
lieve it would stand. The American
roads had, he said, secured the bulk
of the immigration business at the sea-
board by the payment of excessive COM
missions. This practice they refuse to
give up until all the matters in dispute
among the trans-continental roads were
settled. That was very indefinite
period, and their action was obnoxious
to the Canadian Pacific.
