FAN Rivers Wages Reduction.

Lowell, Mass. Dec. 10-The reported
decision of the FAN River manufao-
turers to reduce wages has not aroused
much comment in Lowell. The in
crease OF the competition of the
southern plants has long been fore
seen here, and has been discounted to
as great an extent as possible. Several
mills have already installed extension
linen plants, and others have changed
their machinery to run on specialties.
Lewiston, Me-. Dec. l0.-Lewiston and
Auburn mill operatives and agents are
specializing upon the possible effect on
local cotton manufacturing of the pro-
posed cut down at Fail River one
agent in an interview said that the
market was somewhat influenced by the
FallRiver mills and the situation might
demand a reduction in wages and cur
tailment of output Another said he
hoped they would not be compelled to
cut and he did not borrow trouble.
Another said he considered 1t more ad-
vnntageous to curtail production than
to reduce wages.

German Scheme to Get Money.

New York, Dec. 10-Charles Zanoll.
alias Charles Braunen, alias Charles
Sumner, is under arrest at police head
quarters accused of having swindled
the Metropolitan Insurance company
out of S35b on policy issued by that
company to Willie Schmidt, who died

oner. 1t is said. secured the money by
falsely swearing that he was Schmidt
brother-in- law and the guardian Of the
dead mans 7-year- son.
Within the past few years several of
Zanoli's wives have died and as their
lives were insured the prisoner has Sc
cured much money from insurance
companies. He has also since 1884 col
lected insurance on the lives OF his
children who have died and also for
several of his deceased mothers-in-law
all of whom were insured,
Zanoli made confession to Chief of
Detectives McClusky, in which he ad-
mitted having become rich by collect
ing the insurance on his several wives,
mothers-in-law and children, but in
sisted that he was in no instance guilty
of murder. and thus far no evidence
has been adduced to prove that his
contentious in that direction are I'M
true. The prisoner says he was born
In Wiesbaden, Germany, fifty-six years
ago and came TO this country In 1873.
The life insurance companies from
which Zanoli admits having collected
policies varying in amounts from $3.50
to $1,000 are the Metropolitan and
Prudential companies and the Knights
and Ladies Of Honor.
He says that he Is ignorant of the
antecedents of his four wives, all OF
whom died, he claims, from natural
causes. The collections from the in
suronoe companies win reach $4,000.

New York, Dec. 10.-The Spanish col

petition sent TO Madrid at the time of
the assassination of Premier Canovas,
strong successor to Senior de LONE.
According to the World the petition
was drawn so as to attack Senior de
LONE without mentioning his name,
and among the forty prominent Span
iards who signed We're several friends
of the minister who did not see any at
tack upon him In the apparently
harmless recommendations, The result
is bitterness among the factions al
most as strong as the hatred of that of
the Cubans. The petition says:
Foo Spain to succeed in her rela-
lions with the United States. she must
have in Washington, a representative
of ability and firmness whose heart
will beat with the pulsations of our
mother country and with head well
balanced to base all his diplomatic re-
lations on an indisputable right and
not allow the right to he curtailed in

The enemies to de LONE are said by
Senior Canalejas and A. Taltavuila, To

foresight and weakness, with per-
hitting Americans a voice in Spanish
affairs, and with bowling to the
Senate. Their opponents are led by
Il. Zeraus, formerly vice president OF

IS BREATHING HER LAST


Canton, Ohio, Dec. 10,-Dr. Phillips
said this morning that Mrs. Mckinley
is much weaker. He thinks there is
no possibility of her living another
night. She remains in palsled sleep.
At 1915 she was still living, but
growing weaker.
The President rested only a short
time during the latter part of the night
and resumed his vigil In the sick room
during the forenoon. He remains al
most constantly at the bedside and al
ways within call.
DR.. Phillips said at 1 o'clock that
Mrs. Mckinley was likely to die at
any moment. There was n possibility
of her surviving until evening. but it
was almost impossible that she could
live through another night.
At O'Clock, Mrs. Mckinley was
breathing so laboriously that those
about her believed that her every
breath will be her last.
