A STRIKE SENTIMENT.

Bddeford, Me, Jan. 15.-The labor
situation here is one Of great doubt. with
the textile operatives generally In favor
of resisting the cutdown by strike. The
conferences OF the committees repre-
senting the Dressers and the Spinners
unions with Agent Macarthur of the Pep
perell and Laconia mills yesterday were
without result. except that Mr.. Macarthur
has gone TO Boston 10 confer with the
corporation directors. There Is much
agitation, as crisis seems impending
among the $500 operatives of the two
corporations.
The conferences of the labor commit
tees were held with Agent Macarthur in
the counting room, when many things
Were discussed. Mr. Macarthur said that
he was sorry In not being able to grant
the request for a continuation of the
present scale of wages. The cutdown
would have To so into effect.
After the committee left the counting
room their failure became quickly
known and strike talk was INDUCED in
throughout the mills The more con-
servative operatives say they had ex-
pected temporary concession at least
In order that the effect of the cutdown
elsewhere might have been seen.
Agent Macarthur. when seen by re-
porters, declined 10 discuss mill matters.
Soon after this he left for Boston.
The citizens Of Biddeford are anxious
that no strike occur. and they also de-
plore the eutdown. The operatives ex-
press Willingness to work only four days

as they are given 10 understand, The
ection OF labor unions elsewhere Is

CITY Wins in the Lucier
SkyrOcket Case.
DECLARATION DEFECTIVE.
States No Charge Against the City
OF Providence.
RESULT OF 4TH OF JULY MISHAP

The Appellate Court has sustained the
demurrer OF the city OF Providence IN
the suit of Henry Lucier OF al. vs.. Daniel
l.. ID. Granger, citv treasurer, ct al. fho
action was one of trespass In which one
Of the plaintiffs, Rosalie Lucier, sued to
recover $40, 0o0 for serious injuries alleged
Il be due To the falling of II skyrocket
from a number OF fireworks at Dexter
Training Grounds ON July 4, lS93
The suit was brought not only against
the city treasurer, but against Charles A.
Borden, Jason Il. stone, Lyman Is. Mes
senger, William A. Hickie, Edward a..
Burrows, Robert IL. Little, Dennis H..
Mccarthy, and Arthur III. Watson, mem
bsrs of the Fourth OF July celebration
committee of that year.
All these parties except the city treasu-
rer pleaded, but he demurred, and the
demurrer Is sustained because the plain
tiffis declaration is held to state no
charge whatever against the city OF Provi-
dence, but only against Daniel L. ID.
Granger city treasurer. That Is To say,
the court holds the charge Is simply
against him as an individual, and not
against the city at all, and the declara-
tion in such case must charge negii-
uence against the city or Its servants or
nGenta
This point was not raised at the argu-
ment OF the case before the court, bDt tile
court thinks IL so vital that it refuses ia
consider any other. IL Is inJimated that
the plaintiffs may possibly get leave "a
amend their declaration.

only members.
The meeting was called 10 order by
David Cordlngiy the president, at s
o'clock 1t opened with great excite
ment, and gave promise of causing
trouble. There were angry words. mo-
tions and counter motions. and failures
to obey the orders Of the chair, until the
president finally threw down the gavel
and would no longer serve lie with
drew To an ante-room, and Martin Burns,
the vice president. assumed the chair
and presided for the rest OF the meeting
There Were two points about which the
debate swung for long time. National
Secretary Ross sent word not TO strike,
but TO assist New Bedford. This was
one. 1t was stated that the published
statement OF a mill agent that the cut
down would amount to from to per
cent was not sustained by the schedule
posted in the Merrimack mills. That
was the other.
II was argued that Lowell should go
on organizing all its departments as
New Bedford had done and support the
strike there as bearing directly upon the
manufacturers i'm Lowell. II was shown
that the national treasury could not sup
port two strikes at the same time.
When IL came to the decisive vote
printed bal,59ts were distributed and only
men running a pair Of mules were al
lowed 10 vote. The ballot was taken by
corporations, in alphabetical order, and
took half an hour.
The result was: No, III: Yes. Ga.

State Platform.

The Democrats Of Nevada In Con-
vention assembled declare as fol-
lows; Fee. -. 49, IT, -
We endorse every line, word and
syllable of the platform adopted by
the Democratic National Convention
ct Chicago in 1896, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution advo-
eating the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver and without
the aid or consent of any nation on
the face of the earth.
Weglory in the achievements of
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic Congressman in their
course upon the prosecution OF the
war. as patriotic, statesmanlike and
compatible with the honor and dig
nifty of our nation.
We agree with Senator Teller, an
ardent Protectionest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed, not
for protection Of American labor, nor
for the purpose of revenue for the
government, but exclusively in tho in
terest of the monopoies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money
to carry on the Mckinley campaign.
We furthermore declare without
fear Of successful contradiction, that
any or all of the provisions of the in
famous law do not, directly or iDdi-
rectly benefit. to the amount of q far
thing one hundred actual residents
of Nevada while the entire people of
the State are additionally taxed in
increased prices of the necessaries of
life to an amount more than sufficient
to defray the entire expenses Of the
State govel nmeDt. And it is with
shame and humiliation that we point
to the fact that this measure 30 die
tressful to the people Of Nevada was
passed by the aid OF our Senators
without which it could never have
become law. -. .
We demand Home Rule for the
people of Nevada. Our National
Government inaugurated bloody
and extensive war to insure Home
Rule for the Cubans, and yet the
Sovereign State of Nevada has for
years, and still is, under more abject
seryitude to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, represented by
non residents Of the State than were
ever the Cubans made, subseryient to
| the Spepisle Crown. We insist and de-
\ mand that our State shall be repre-

office seeking purposes and whose
sole contributions to the people OF
the State are limited to the money
cOrruptly used to secure their own
elections.
We recognize the Democratic as
the only Silver party in the Nation,
and upon whose success III 1900 de-
pends the reestabiishment of silver
to its former place in the monetary
system of the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations. pro-
Tossing to favor bimetallis IN. as not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
i've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so-called Silver party of
Nevada is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. Its State Admin
istration IN the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
a disgrace TO the Commonwealth.
Its continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party Of the Ma.
ton which in 1895 polled nearly six
millions of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and its death would be mourn
ed only by a few office seekers who
have maintained it in the hope of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the. State. -. -. !,
We favor, the election of United
States Senators by the people. in
stead OF Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from
the present system than any other
State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such, change as will, to
a partial extent at least, prevent the
gross frauds and corruption as has
and which is now prevailing in our
Senatorial elections.
The Democratic party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing
the natural resources Of the State;
We, therefore advocate a policy OF
internal improvements by which the
surplus water Of our rivers may be
impounded i'll reservoirs and used in
reclaimIng and irrigating the unoc.
cupied agricultural lands OF the State
and opening the same to settlement
and cultivation, thereby inducing
immigration for the development OF
the agricultural products Of the State
and increase Of our population, and
we favor liberal legislation and the
appropriation OF State funds for such
purposes.
We demand that our National Gov
ernment hold possession of the Phil
ippine Islands. 30 that the products
and trade Of these islands may be
brought to our shores, as such pol
icy would result in great profit and
commercial advantages to the Paci-
fic Coast. s-...s.. ..,
We most earnestly advise the Dom
ocrats in every county in the State to
organize aud form County Central
Committees and to nominate full leg
islative tickets unpledged upon the
matter of u. s.. Senator and to adopt
all means of strengthening the DenI-
ooratic party. which will in 1900 rep
resent the honest and sincere silver
element in the state.

THE BEEHIVE.

The strength Of the colony determines
the amount Of brood therein.
A board covering should never be placed
over and directly Oh tho frames.
The ground In front Of each hive should
be banked up level with the entrance.
The best material in tho smoker Is dry,
rotten wood that has become light and
spongy.
The first thing after hiving q swarm Of
bees in q frame hive Is to adjust the
frames.
Combs that are now and bright are not
near SO liable to become infested with
worms as those Of dark color.
Infertile queens will produce drones and
nothing but drones. They are not fit for
breeding purposes and should be destroyed.
When colonies IRE throwing out young
brood, it may be that worms have infected
the combs and tho bees are cutting them
out.
Artificial queens may DO reared in the
colony whether 1t DO weak or strong, but
natural queens are produced only in
strong colonies.
Hives should be set perfectly level, espe.
cially from sido to sido, so that the frames
will hang plumb. If the frame Is not in
line, the comb will not strike the bottom
of the frame.

NEWS FULLY CONFIRMED.

American Commission Had Instructions
to Hasten the End. S
WASHINGTON. Dec. THE advices
from Paris to the effect that it might be
reasonably presumed that the peace
commissioners will be ready to sign a
treaty of peace within day or two is
fully confirmed here. 1t is learned that
the presidents instructions to Judge
Day were to hasten the conclusion, and
to that end the American commissioners
have been authorized to limit the treaty
closely to protocol points, leaving other
matters, such as the acquisition of cable
stations and naval stations, to be dealt
with hereafter.
