Madrid, Dec. S.-The impartial, COM

shows a certain eleverness and evil
intention when it refers to filibuster-
ing expeditions. Mckinley speaks
with what appears to be excessive Gym
icism to those who have not lost all
notions of justice. The government
must show the Yankees that the Span
ism flag floats over Cuba and that they
have yet to tear it down. The manu-
facture and sale of arms is not the
same thing as using Them

sage says: 1T is more favorable to
Spain than President Cleveland's be-
cause it recognizes Spains intention to
enthusiastically labor to establish
peace in Cuba
The Ministerial Globe praises Presi-
dent McKinley's message. The Social
Republican Ell Paris asserts that
the message is shameful as it im-
piled the moral bankruptcy of the
monarchy.

ground that the message is great

portion of the financial legislation before

ton was adopted inviting the secretary

mittee was informed that the secretary
was now at work on a measure and that
it would be available for the committee
in about a week.
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut, then precipi-
tated a sharp discussion by moving that
the committee act at once by reporting
to the House bill embodying three of
the final features, which had the Presi-
dents approval These were embodied in
a bill heretofore offered by Mr.. Brosius
of Pennsylvania. and Mr.. Hill now pro-
posed that the first three sections be

culation up to the par value of bonds de-
posited reduction of the tax on circula-
tion to One-fourth of l per cent; the es-
tablishment of small banks in rural COM

Mr. Hill said the committee would do
well not to go through the tedious pro-

to meet with general acceptance and had
received Executive approval.

A LITTLE Sufferer

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors = How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. MY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned" !"

WILL CUT WAGES.
The Fall River Cotton Mills
Forced to Make Reduction.
It Will Affect $4,000 Employees Who
Will Lose $4,000.
Previous Poor Trade and Present State Of
Market the Cause.

Fall River Mass, Dec. Sat a gem
| eral meeting of the Cotton Manufac.
| tufers Association, this afternoon it
was voted unanimously to reduce.
wages in all the mills Of the city, the
| amount and time of the reduction be-
ing left to a committee which for some
| time has had charge of the matter.
1t is understood that the cut will
| amount to not less than 10 per cent.
| and that it will go into effect Jan. 1st
The cut will effect $4,000 operatives in
| this city who are paid an aggregate
weekly wage of $1S0,000.
For some months committee of the
association has been investigating the
| situation in this city. This committee
was instructed to circulate a paper
among the manufacturers, as there has
| for some time been feeling that only
reduction would relieve the congested
feeling in the business atmosphere
The market value in print cloths for a
| long time has been the lowest in the
history Of the trade, while the demand
has been only fair. Under these con-
ditions the mills have been selling at
loss and the stock of goods has been
increasing. The committee obtained
the signature of every manufacturer
in the city, except one. who is under
stood to be D. A. Brayton of the Dur
fee mill, a private corporation.
AS no reduction could be ordered with.
out the consent of every mill the COM
| mttee decided to report back to the asso-
citation. This was done at the general
meeting. today, and the committee re-
ceived the unanimous approval of the
association upon it's suggestion that a
reduction be made.
1t is anticipated that the price of
weaving cut of print cloth will be re-
duced from Is to 16 cents. In August.
1884. cut of 10 per cent was ordered.
but in April of the next year, an advance
by the Fall River Iron Co. of the same
amount, necessitated similar action on
the part of the rest of the mills and
wages have been paid on this basis ever
since.
The attitude of the employees on the
matter can hardly be stated until they
have had a chance to talk It over, and
none of the labor leaders will says very
much about the subject. until such meet
ingS are held.
Secretary Whitehead of the weavers.
said that that union would hold meet
ing without delay.
Secretary Mccarthy of the loom fixers.
believed that his union would not ac-
cept the reduction.
Secretary O'Donnell of the spiners.
asked if the reduction applied to super
intendents and treasurers and received a
negative reply. He said that his union
would also meet at once.
Secretary Tansy of the carders. said
that no action would be taken until the
union met next week. while Secretary
Jackson of the slashers. said that the
executive committee of that union had
been called together.
The feeling. however. is prevalent that
before the matter is settled there will be
a strike but how large a proportion of
the operatives will take part in it. is i'm
possible to say. Every effort. however,
will be made to avert such action.
