by Fl. A Stanley, which Messrs. Laird
& Lee, OF Chicago, have Just published
will delight everyone who is fond OF
tale Of the woods and wilds and
thrilling adventure OF the west.
The scene Of this vivid romance Is
the Puget Sound region OF the State
OF Washington aud the neighborlng
Olympic mountains, those vast
cloud-capped peaks which, though
visible from the decks OF all coasting
steamers. confront the ahyenturer
with such serious obstacles that
they haYe never been fully explored.
The authors intimate knowledge OF
the region, as well as OF local history
and tradition from the standpoint OF
both settler and Indian, dating back
TO the days OF Spanish corsairs, is
abundantly shown in the course OF his
fascinating narrative.
Forty striking illustrations and

A Tribute to Lee.

The position occupied by Gen. Fitz-

consular official in sbc service of the
United States. He was appointed to
this responsible position by Mr. Cleve.
land, when be was looking. for clear
headed, upprejadiced man to deal with
the perplexities and difficulties Of the
situation in Cuba. Gen. Lee gave the
utmost satisfaction to the Cleveland
admin istratiou. and he was kept in
Office by President Mckinley. but it
was understood thai the retention was
only temporary. It is now almost GER
tain that the administration will not
make change until the Cuban ques-
.tioo is definitely settled, and we hope
tha, Fitz Lee will be 90 hand when the
insurgents take possession of Havana

upon the retention of Lee
Ooe of the highest tributes ever paid
to public man is the perfect conf
dence which all parties and men here
place in Cousul General Lee. 1t is a
very remarkable thing and tremen-
dous tribute to the State of Virginia
and to the Lee family that the present
consul general. a Southern mao. aud
an ex-Confederate, should oe kept IN
power by the Republican admiuistra-
ton aud that there should be placed in
bis keeping greater power than has
been given to almost any one man slnce
the war of secession. The fact that
not a word of protest has ever been
uttered over his detention either by
those who have endorsed Republican
for his place or by partisan newspapers
aud the fact that every man in public
life feels that the natiou's honor and
integrity will be kept inviolate, is
tribute seldom paid so unanimously
by people to aoy one mao. What

The latter would be an act Of folly
which even the blended stupidity aud

must depend upon how the Spanish

New England Cotton Mills
Will be Shut Down.

Boston, Feb. 13 At meeting to-
day 10 this city Of IS representatives of
textile unions in New England it vas
nimously voted to recommend that
all unions call out the operatives 10
every cotton mill in New Eag!and
TIE meeting was practically the out
come of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor last Sunday. 10 which
be urged the different uoioos to unite
on some settled policy regarding the
mill situation in New England. At
that meeting committee Of three was
appointed to take charge of the mat
ter and after a conference tbis COM
mittee recommended that a general
meeting be held to take definite acsien.
To-day the representatives of the vari-
Gus textile associations assembled 10 the
Wells Memorial hall and for four hours
discussed the situation from every
standpoint. The primary object of the
meeting was to devise some method Of
rendering assistance to the New Bed.
ford strikers. 1t was pointed out to-
day that if the strikers at New Bedford
could hold out for four weeks without
receiving more than 20 cents per opera
tive per week in the way Of outside as
sistauce, other mill operatives could
stand similar strain, and that if all
vent out it would precipitate crisis
that would have to be met withio a
short time by the manufacturers. It
was also shown that the mule spinners
we're is excellent condition as regards
funds; that the Uoited Textile Work
ers and the New Eogland Federation Of
Weavers we're also 10 good shape, but
that the rest were short of funds.
Other questions were also discussed; at
length the matter was put to a vote, DO
one being registered against the motion
that the different unions should order
general strike 10 every cotton mill 10
New Eogland until satisfactory ad-
justment of wages could be arranged.
1t DOW remains for the various ma
tional unions to take action On the rec
ommeadation, but what this action will
be is matter of conjecture. If all
should acquiesce and vote to strike.
147, 600 operatives would undoubtedly
cease work and the manufacture of
cotton goods throughout New England
would be at a s,audstill. If. on the
other band, only few unions should
vote to g.. 'e, the refusal Of the others
would still keep large portion of the
mills in operation.
Inasmuch, however. as the meeting
was the outcome of President Gompers'
suggestions, and as he admoDished the
members of the Federation Of Labor to
Join hands and assist the New Bedford
strikers, it seems probable that nearly
every union will carry out the recon-
mendatiou aud that cne of the greatest
strikes ever seen 10 this county is i'm

THE FREE PASS BUSINESS.
A Striking Example of How the
G4nel al assembly rlnkers With
Matters.

10 the Editor of The News aud Courier:
see that the Legislature is tiokering with ths
free pass business again.
II the Tillman campaign of l>9o showed
aoy thug it showed that the people were MOI
in favor Of public officials having free passes
Gao we'll imagine how dramatic Ben Till
man looked as he forcibly declared that sany
public Official who accepted free pass ought
to be impeacbed' 1t is true that Nj. Till
man changed his views after he reached the
Goberna.otial chair. 1t is also tr,s that be
accepted free pass from Bunch McBee, but
this did not alter the fact that he made his
6ght for Governor, to certain extent, as ao
an,i-free PASS candidate, nor did it alter the
fact that, to certain extent, he Was elected
by the Democratic masses as ao erti-free pass
Governor.
The Legislature, differing from Governor
Tillman, saw to it that the wishes of the peo.
PIE we're carried ont and the free pass busi-
ness ended. Now it has come up again
Last year the Legislature tiokered with II, but
the members failed to get free passes Ifthey
