the Arkwright club in Boston, yesterday.
We're posted today in the rooms of the
Manufacturers association as soon as

half of spindles, over half in the city
were pledged to be stopped, half the tima
during July and August. The agreement
does not bind the manufacturers to any
specific time, Tbut requires that the
machinery be stopped four weeks. 1t is
confidently. asserted that not a single
mill manufacturing print cloth or plain
goods, 60 viii refuse to sign. M. G. D.
borden Is the only doubtful one, but it
Is almost certain that he will agree to
shut doy-.n If the others do. The Textile

senslbie solution of the question. The
Barnaby Bingham mills will be stopped

winners by about four lengths. The
Fennylvanias increased their speed in the
last quarter and Harvard only got home
a length and quarter in front of them:
The three leading crews had almost got
their shells In tow when the Columbias
came struggling home, one minute and
fifty four seconds after Cornell.
The official time was returned as fol5
lows: Cornell, 1929; Harvard, 1912;
Pennsylvania. 20.11. This time If correct
established q new American record, as
the best previous time was 20. 10, by Yale
at New London. There is serious
discrepancy, somewhere In the official
time, as given from the referees boat.
Between three and three and one-han
seconds is generally allotted to a length.
Cornell defeated the Harvards by fully
four lengths, or roughly speaking by
fourteen seconds, whereas the difference
in times shows a defeat for the Rarvards
by three seconds, or say three-q quarters of
length. None of the timers nor referees
could be found up to late hour to-
night, SO it was impossible to find out
how the matter would be managed.

GREAT POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.
a Friend of Major Mckinley Tells How
Hanna Won.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6.--An intimate
friend of Major Mckinley said today:
The appointment of Marx Hanna as
campaign manager was about the
shrewdest political move Major Mckinley
has made in all his career Hanna not
only devoted his entire time to the cause,
butSontributed freely towards it's ex-
pense. A canvass extending over several
years is an expensive undertaking, and
money had to como from somewhere.
Mr. Hanna said recently that the canvass
cost him 100000. OF that amount $685.
900 was contributed by the friends of Nc
Kinley throughout the country. AS one
item of the expense, it may be said that
the cost Of keeping the friends of the
cause posted on it's progress was S2500.
It was done by mailing 1900 copies daily
of one of the local official organs, to con-
vention deleg ates and leading Repuhli-
cans in all parts of the country. That
was done several months and was but
single feature of one of the most perfect
political organizations ever made in
political oompaigns"

The volume of general trade is no lar
ger than last week. In soma lines it is
smaller, notably at Pittsburg and Kan
sas City. Midsummer dullness character
lied the operations at almost all the
points. Relatively the greatest activity
has been among the dry goods Jobbers,
who have sacrificed prices to reduce
heavy stocks OF cotton goods.
Restricted productions of print cloth
at Fall River is likely to be followed BY
similar action at Providence and Au-
gusta. New England Rubber manufao-
turers are curtailing production. The
situation and outlook in the iron and
steel industries is less satisfactory, with
a prospective o it in the price OF bes-

Coming up to the half mile mark, the
Cornells drew up to the Quakers. 1t was
nip and tuck for second place between
them, and both crews were gaining on
the leaders.
Passing the first half mile, the Har-
wards lead was out nown to three quarters
length, and the Cornells were rowing
along just fast enough to keep the
quarter length in front of the Quakers,
and Columb bias were dropping further
astern. The three-quarber mile saw the
Harvards still in the lead, without
having improved ON their position at the
half. The Cornells doubled their lead on
the Pennsylvanias, while the Columbias
were tofltng along four lengths in the
Quaker's rear.
The Cornells and Harvards were setting
35 clip at tho mile, the Cornells were
putting more force behind their stroke
and had cut down the Harvards' al
vantage to half a length. The Pennsyl-
vanias, who were rowing 33 to the
minute, held the Cornells to the half
length, while the Quakers were still four
lengths ahead of Columbia. The next
half mile saw the Cornells creeping
gradually up on thehHarvards, and press
ing them closely, only an eighth of a
length apart. A length divided the Cor
nells from the Pennsylvania, and the
Columbias were hanging four lengths
behind the Pennsylvania. At this point
the Cornells began to make an effort, and
when the two mile mark was passed the
lthacans were only ar eighth Of len 9Th
behind Harvard. and a length in front Of
Pennsylvania.
Even up between the Cornells and the
Harvards, was the order at the second
mile flag. The Cornells were still a
length ahead Of the Pennsylvania. The
Harvards were going along sat SO; Cor
nells' stroke WAS steady at 35, and the
Pennsylvania atS33. 4 A quarter of mile
furtherson. saw the Cornells in the lead.
The Pennsylvania were three lengths
behinu the crimson. Then thu CorneIls
began to show the effects of Courtney's
ideas, im b ibed in England last year.
With long sweeping strokes the Ithacans
had their she'll q length ahead of the
Harvards, who were in turn four lengths
in front kof the Pennsylvania. The
Columbias were splashing badly eight or
ten lengths to the bad, and could scarcely
keep the boat on even keel.
. At three-quarters amile the Corneils
had increased the gaL between them and
the Haryards to length and half, and
the Pennsylvanias had diminished the
Harvard's lead for second place by a
length. Half mile from the finish the
order was: Cornell first, by two and
one-half lengths; Harvard second BY
three lengths Pennsylvania, about fifteen
lengths in front of Columbia.

| New York, June &c. -Bradstreets to
morrow will say: The more hopeful feel

days, explained as due the adoption of
| the gold plank at the ST. Louis, has been
given undue weight. Interviews with
merchants at 25 most important points
show that aside from the increased
strength Of wool in the hands of interior

phia, an improved demand for har DWARF
at Providence, clothing and shoes at

there has been no improvement in trade.
At G hioago there Is more hopeful
sentiment but no increase in business.
canvass of the leading jobhers at i'm
portant cities shows no expectation of re-
viyal in general business untilssafter cleo
tion. At some points no real improve
ment is expected until next year. On
1le GaclIlc cOasU, San FRANCISCO conGln-
ues to send increased shipmen is of -four
to China. Reports of the California
wheat crop say the prospect is less favor
able. The outlook for wheat in Oregon
and Washington is very favorable.
There is, therefore, almost uniformly
favorable crop report, now that rain
hasSappeared in Texas to relieve the cot
ton and corn crops, and there is slim
ulated demand for anthracite coal and
activity at the shoe factories, with good
demand from jobbers.
Relatively the most confidence is
shown in Chicago where a marked reviv-
al in trade is- regarded, in some in
stances. as probable within so days.
The point is made that whereas year
ago country merchants were adding to
their stocks because of the then general
advance in prices, To-day they are buy
ing from hand to mouth with stocks
much reduced.
