RETAILERS kE SOLVE
TO TRY AND BREAK UP THE BIG
DEPARTMENT STORES.
Reasons For This New Movement and
The Means by Which They Seek
To do it Are GiV,n.

New York, Dec 10.-At a meeting
ers, retail grocers and delicatessen
dealers association, which had been
appointed with a view to preparing
plans for the protection of the retail
dealers interests, the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
Whereas. the combining of various
retail businesses into so-called depart
ment stores, owned and controlled by
individual firms. tends to create
trusts and monopolies destined to
drive all other retailers out of business
and to deprive many of the Opportu-
nifty to compete, beside menacing the
prosperity of the country, therefore
the retail dealers need protection for
their industries as well as the mine
owner or farmer, and believing that
the maintenance of the individuality
of each respective kind of business
as it heretofore existed will best pro-
mote the welfare of this country and
will afford to every man the privilege
and rights fenjoying protection which
this country guarantees to its mer-
chants and wholesalers as it will to
the retailers; be it.
Resolved, that for the purpose of
protecting the retail dealers interests
We recommend the Capitalization Of
the various trades organizations rep
resented i'm this conference under the
name of The United Business Mems
association of the State of New York.
and that all organized business mems
societies be invited to join such asso-
citation and cooperate with us.
''That suitable resolutions be adopt
ed calling upon the legislature Of the
state and the congress of the United
States to enact such laws as will pre-
vent the Capitalization Of various re-
tail business under the management
and control of one firm, and that we
adopt all lawful means to accomplish
this purpose.
"That we invite the public to sus-
tain us i'm our laudable endeavors for
| it is their cause as well as our own.
'That we recommend the publica-
ton of weekly organ, or securing the
| assistance of some established organ.
to expound and promulgate the pur-
pose of this organization and assist
| in its object"

FIELDS OF BLOOD.
Desperate Fighting in Pinar del Rio.
Many Hundreds on Both Sides
Killed

Killed.
New York, Dec. 10.-A dispatch
from Key West, Fla, says:
Desperate battling for two days
in Pinar Del Rio province is reported
i'm private letter from PalaciOs. A
large force of insurgents, strongly for
titled on the Zorro Heights, was at
tackled by Spanish columns, Fierce
fighting, canonading and musketry
continued all day, the insurgents
bravely defending their stronghold.
The troops We're unable to capture
the fertilization that day and both
sides sustained n great loss.
The next day the Spanish solumns
were reinforced by General Incian,
who renewed the attack. The insur-
gents were finally dislodged. their
loss being 200. 1t is said the Spanish
troops lost 600. The mortality was
very great on both sides, but it is said
that more insurgents We're killed, pro-
portionately, than Spaniards.
So fierce has been the fighting in this
city that the living have been unable
to make provisions for the burial of
the dead and in consequence the
stencil which arises from the field of
carnage is said to be terrible.

TION

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 10.-The
employees of the Pacific Killing Mills,
numbering 125 men are on a strike,
because of a reduction in wages. The
business of the mills has been poor
for some months and not long ago
the men were notified that a reduction
must be made either in the number
Of employees or in the amount Of their
wages. The management decided to
try the latter plan but when wages
were struck on piece work, the employ
es struck claiming that the wages
then paid would not suffice for their

PLUGGED FULL OF HOLES.

An italian Gets Into a Row and is
Mortally Wounded
New Orleans, Dec. 10.-The ambu-
lance was at the depot of the Illinois
Central road today when the morning
train arrived. 1t was there to receive
and convey to the hospital an Italian
who was a passenger on the train.
The unfortunate man, whose name is
Salvatore Patulio, is desperately
wounded and the students saw that
just as soon as they set eyes on him
zeal aid would be of little service to
him. This belief was verified later
by the hospital physicians.
The wounded man was lifted up by
tender hands and conveyed to the
wagon of mercy and placed therein
and the journey to the hospital was
begun. Patulio was taken to the am
pithearte, where it was intended to
probe for the bullet in his body. When
he was relieved of his clothing it was
found that he was suffering from five
wounds made from slugs from A.
ca1ibre revolver. One bullet entered
the right forearm and passed through
and ploughed it's way into the abdo-
men. The wound is mortal Another
bullet entered the left hand, third
lodged in his left leg, while fourth
entered the right leg. The wounds
were dressed, after which the man
was placed in ward. The physicians
expressed the opinion that Patulio
would not live throughout the day.
The wounded man came from San
Francisco plantation, at Lyons sta
ton, st. James parish, where he was
employed as laborer. Last night he
engaged in a quarrel with another
hand named Frank Mario. Strong
language was used and Patulio struck
Mario in the face, breaking his nose.
The latter drew a pistol and fired four
shots, wounding Patulio, as stated
above. The wounded man was at
tended by a doctor there until this
morning, when he was placed on a
train and sent to this city. The above
is the wounded mans version of the
story. 1t is not known If the shootist
was arrested.

BAD FOR OLD GAL.
German Steamship Lines Are
Hauled Off

Hauled OFF
New York, Dec. 10.-The Herald this
morning says: The Hamburg Ameri-
can Steamship company has discOntin-
ued its service from Germany to Gal
weston, which was inaugurated sever
al months ago and it is said the North
German Lloyd will also take of its
Galveston ships. The reported cause
of the withdrawal is that the new
lines do not pay. The Galveston
steamship service attracted considera-
BILE attention because the western rail-
roads were much disturbed over its
operations and were much afraid the
emigrant business would be diverted
to the southern gateway. The South
ern Pacific and the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas made lower rates in con-
nectiOn with the new route and the
western roads threatened to do all
sorts of things in retaliations. Meet
ings We're held in Chicago and the
eastern roads We're asked to partici-
pate. There was also some commo-
ton in Transatlantic lines and the
competing lines were jealous of the
supposed large business the new lines
We're getting.

The third disturbance of February
will reach the Pacific coast about

The warm wave will cross the west

Of Rockies country about 14th, great

The center Of this storm will take
a more southern route than usual, and
the storm will be of very considerable

the same time, be Of unusual force 10

in the upper Mississippi and Missouri
valleys. Extensive SHOWS will fall in

The storms of the middle part of
February will all be unusually severe

Weather will be too cold for early

ARIDITY.
The great deficiency IN rainfall in
1895 has caused unusual interest in
the subjects connected with rainfall.
There is one universal remedy for
aridity, one general cure for drouths
and that is the planting Of trees.
If the people of Canada, Mexico
and the United States could be
aroused to the importance of planting
trees and preserving timber the future
drouths and foods would be much
destructive. Brush lands should
be left, as far as possible. to grow up
in timber.
In places many difficulties, from
causes, are encountered in
growing fruit trees and forest tire es |
and for these difficulties there are two
universal remedies. Undertow irrIca.

work.
Where trees are already planted
dig your ditch winding among the
trees, 50 as to keep it as nearly as
convenient on level ground making
The bottom Of the ditch on "a water
.evel, fill in with six to twelve inches
Of gravel, broken stone, brickbats or

A good way TO tamp the soil over
he ditch is TO drive horses, single
lie, lengthwise over the ditch. Cut
rs few roots as possible in digging
he ditch, which should be made deep
to be out of reach of the
plow. Roots of trees will grow from
:en to forty feet to get to the moist
ire in these bitches.
Put old iron asound your trees, or

md it will double their vigor and
growth. Put tin cans around them
md leave them there to rust.
