PRINTERS LIKELY TO STRIKE.
Three Thousand Men Demand q Nine
Hour Day.

New York, Dee. 13.-It is proba BILE
that within forty-eight hours the 1000
printers employed in the 1872 book and
job printing Offices in this city will be
idle, the result Of a strike.
Typographical union No. 6 has taken
the first step. The union met in special
session and decided to give the ''bOssH
printers until Tuesday night to accede
to the demand for a nine-hour day. If
by that time the demand remains unrec-
ognized the printers will strike; and the
union agreed to levy 4 per cent. cam
paign tax upon every dollar earned by
the total union membership of 5000, to
be used as fund to support the strike.
month ago Typographical union No.
8 requested the proprietors of book and
job Offices TO meet the wishes of their
employees and fix upon nine hours as a
working day. Prior to this the printers
of this country and Canada had by a
two-thirds vote declared for the same
principle, and had authorized the Inter-
national union to force the issue.
The employers were duly notified, but
they seemingly ignored the matter. Then
the Iypothetae held a meeting, and ac-
cording to the report given out by one Of
its members, a resolution was passed, de-
Ginning to make nine hours a working day
and subscribing $4,000 as a defense
fund.- with which to fight any attempt to
enforce the demand.
All the union book and job printers Of
the United States and Canada are watch
ing the struggle. If the New York
printers win, their brethren elsewhere will
probably insist On the new time sched-
ule, to the fight for which they are al
ready committed by the action of the In
ternatonal union.

SHIPMENTS FROM MARQUETTE.
Largest in the History of the Port-Has
Two Railroads Now.


Marquette, Mich. Dec 11-[Special.1
The total ore shipments from the port
of Marquette for the season of 1887 were
1,945,519 tons. This is 100000 tons in
excess of the shipments OF any previous
season in the history of the port. Of the
amount given the Lake Superior & Ish-
peming railway carried $1,035, 1888 tons;
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic car
ried 900, 736.
The exact figures of the amount hauled
last year cannot be obtained, as it was
against the practice of the roads hauling
to this port to make public their business.
When they made the ore shipments pub
nc this year they violated a precedent of
five or six years standing.
The season just finished is the first full
season that there have been two rail-
roads hauling to Marquette The Lake
Superior q 1snpeming was in operation
less than half the season of 1896. 1t
runs from Marquette to Ishpeming and
was built mainly by the money of the
mine owners whose ore it hauls Though
not doubled, the volume of shipments
at this port have materially increased
since its construction. The gain is said
on good authority to be made on ore
which formerly went by way of Esca-
naba.
The trimming rate here this season has
been ~ cents ton, but the earnings of
the trimmers have deprecated liz a
marked manner on account of the num-
Der of boats that are carrying their car
goes without trimming

men. scientists and fnanciers. died at
Twin Oaks" his suburban residence. a
few miles from the city, at an early hour
this morning. His death was due to a
complication of diseases and to age, he be-
ing in his 10th year. He had been in
poor health for some time. but it was
not until yesterday, that his condition be-
came alarming. Mr.. Hubbard was of
New England ancestry and his progeni-,
tors occupied a prominent place in the
history of the commonwealth Of Massa-
chusetts.
He was born in Boston in 1922 and was
graduated from Dartmouth in 1S41. He
then entered the law school at Cambridge
and on admission to the bar practiced law
in Boston until 1878, when he removed to
Washington to secure a milder climate. He
early became interested III the Bell tele-
phone. and i'll 1873 retired from practice
OF law to devote himself to its interests.
He was the controlling spirit in its finan-
clal affairs during the next five years.
After it was introduced successfully in
this country he crossed to the Old World
and organized the International, Oriental
and other companies. He secured i'm
pOrtant concessions from the Russian
government and installed a splendid sys-
tenn in the empire of the Gar His next
important service for the company was
IN connection with the celebrated Ber-
liner patent which he so managed as to
prolong greatly the Bell company's con-
troll of the telephone field
Prior to coming to Washington he had
been connected with several of the i'm
portant enterprises of Cambridge and had
taken an active interest in deaf mute ed
ucation, his daughter losing her hearing
as the result of a severe illness. He was
appointed by President Grant a special
commissioner to report on railroad mail
transportation and instituted many i'm
portant reforms in the railway mail serv-
ice He was an earnest and persistent
advocate OF postal telegraph system'

cation to Promote Oral instruction of
the Deaf and of the American Associa-
ton of Inventors and Manufacturers. He

WEYLER is TALKING.
But He is q Long Way Off and win Do
No Harm.

Madrid. Dec 13.-Gen. Weyler, in an
interview, expressed the pleasure it had
given him to find from the demonstra-
tons that the glorious traditions of the
Spanish race were not dead and that it
was still ready for sacrifices in defense
of the honor of the nation and the army
He knew, he said, that Canovas' cabi-
net in August last gave the Washing
ton government to understand that it
was the nations will to pursue his
Weyler's) policy in Cuba until the re-
belion should be suppressed, without
ever conserving to an interference. He
failed to understand how the United
States, silent before the declarations of
Canovas, now adopted in President Nc
Kinley's message a tone insulting to
Spain and the Spanish army"
He believed, he said emphatically
that the government should be COM
PEELED to publish the Canovas note as
satisfaction to the army and also to pro-
test by all means in it's power against
President McKinley's message to Con-
gress
To his personal knowledge, he said
the generals residing in Madrid felt keen
~ on this point, while he was confident
that all the conservative element of the
country would combine to avert the ruin
and dishOnor of the nation.

OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.
VIII be Little Ore at Lake Erie
Ports When Navigation
Opens Again.

Ishpemng, Mich, Dec. 11.-[Special.1
The ore-shipping season has closed for
the Lake Superior mines, the last cargo
having been forwarded this week. The
total production of the season is we'll
over the $4,000, 000-ton mark, but the
exact figures cannot be given until two
weeks later, owing to the necessity Of
securing a full statement of all-rail ship
ments from mines to furnaces. The pro-
duction of the season viii be found at
least 100000 tons greater than the out
put of any previous season.
Not only is the great increase in pro-
duction by the mines gratifying to all in
terested in the ore trade, but the pros
poets for next season are even more
hattering.
The total consumption of Lake Su-
perlor ore for tie current year will be
in the neighborhood of IA, 0OO,O 900 tons,
the difference between production and
consumption coming from the immense
stocks of unsold ore delivered in 1896,
which were on hand at lower lake ports
at the opening of navigation this season.
May /, 1898, promises to see less ore at
receiving points than in any season for
many years. There are mountains Of ore
on hand at Cleveland, Ashtabula Lorain
and the other Lake Erie ports, where the
ore is discharged by the vessels that
Drlng 1t down from EScanaba and Lake
Superior ports, but this ore is no menace
to the mine-owners and miners. as by
far the greater part of it has been sold
for the winters consumption, and will
all be smelted before the boats begin
taking more ore to those ports next sea-
son.
The amount of unsold ore on Lake Erie
docks is variously given, an estimate as
low as 100000 tons having been given.
but conservative figure would be twice
that amount. Even the larger estimate
shows remarkable purchasing movement
this season and indicates that many car
goes of ore delivered years ago and long
regarded as unstable have finally been
bought by furnacemen. In the economy
of iron, metallurgical processes have final
ly reached such perfection of detail that
there now seems TO be room in the indus
trial field for almost anything in the ma
ture of iron ore, drawbacks of one sort
being offset by advantages of another, so
that the waste in ore production bids fair
to soon be reduced to the infnitesimal fig
ure claimed for the operations in the Chi
cago stockyards, where the hair is all
saved and divided into several different
grades, where the hoofs are useful, the
horns are valuable and absolutely nothing
of the animal is lost but the vital spark.

A Propagation of HIicrob:c Disease, Says
New York, Dec. 13.-The men who are

Here, it is declared, is the mysterious
source of the strange cases of illness for
which no one can account. DR.. n. Brei-
ter of New York is the most advanced
exponent of the Notwithstanding theory.
He says: 1.-The hand is the propa gator

fact. The custom of shaking hands is

immediate relatives of the deceased to

yielded their desires and consented to

ton of Secretary Gage will be present.
Vice-President Hobart has Just an
nounced that he cannot come. The Off
Gals from Washington will reach Canton
on Tuesday morning.
kilograms of coincidence are pouring in
by hundreds today. Early this morning
President Mckinley took brisk walk. in
the bracing air for exercise. Every pc
destrian who met him lifted his hat.
The indications now are that the funer-
al will be the largest ever held in Canton.
Business will be suspended in the city.
All churches will be represented at the
services and distinguished men will be
present from all parts of the country.
Rev DR.. Manchester, pastor of Mrs
McKinley's church, will make a very brief
address in order to permit the pastors of
other church time to express a sentiment.
Mcs Mckinley was distinctively a
hOme-liying woman, and in the two
story frame cottage on West Tuscarawas
street in Canton, where she died and
where she had lived for many years, was
dearer to her than any spot on earth.
There she spent her declining days
with her daughter, Helen, and ner grand
children, Grace and James Mckinley. re-
ceiying occasional visits from her other
children, seldom going out except to
church, where she could be found every
Sunday morning unless prevented by i'll
ness.
When Mother Mckinley went to
Washington to attend the Inauguration of
her son as President she received an
amount OF tiatterlng attention that would
have turned the head of q less sensible
mother. The impression she created was
that of woman of great simplicity and
strength Of character. Before she left
some one said: Il should think, Mrs. Me-
Kinley, you would be very proud to have
your son President of the United
States?' She replied: 81 am proud Of Will
liam, and if he makes as good President
as he has been son he will be all iha,
can hope for him."
During the Inauguration ceremonies
Mother Mckinley stood at q window in
the Ebbitt house, with the arm of her
son Abner about her waist Referring
to the well-known fact that Mother Nc
Kinley originally intended her son Will
liam for the ministry, and that she had
often said that she hoped he might be-
come a bishop, Abner, pointing to the
cheering multitude on that great occa-
sion, said: Mother, after all. isn't this
greater for us all than if William had
become bishop?"
Turning from the brilliant scene and
resting her head upon Abner's stalwart
shoulders, she said, between sobs which
shock her fragile form: "God knows
best, Abner. He has been very good to
William and to all of u.s.
The throng of ladies and gentlemen
who heard the remark were thrilled with
emotion because Of that pathetic express
sion of simple faith and maternal love.
