TO BE PUT ON STRIKE PAY
Provision Made For the Idle Hands
af New Bedford.

Boston. Jan. 1S-Grim determination on
the part of both sides, coupled with a de-
fined issue between employer and emploe'
as well as practically an absence of any
sign of demonstration. were the features
OF the second day in the great strike In
the cotton industry. AS yesterday, in
terest conferred almost entirely IN the
strike at New Bedford. where the dlstur-
Dances of yesterday led to the belief that
q similar demonstration might be attempt
ed today. Nothing of he kind occurred
and the strikers strengthened their cause
by making the question of fines definite
issue with the mill owners.
1t is just possible that an agreement on
this question may lead to some satisfac-
tory ending of the whole matter in that
city. The matter of financial support to
the strikers was generally discussed, not
only in New Bedford, but in Biddeford,
Saco and Lewiston. and while the union
strikers seem to have no anxiety regard
ing the next three months, the non-union
me who are out fear that they may not
receive sufficient support.
In Fall River the superintendent of the
King Phillip mill, where there is a strike,
went so far as agreeing to remedy union
grievances, but other than this there ap-
pears no breach in the line of the manu-
facturers during the day.
The hundred thousand operatives in all
six of the New England state are watch
ing the contest in New Bedford, Saco and
Biddeford very closely.
New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 1S.-The Spin
ners' union tonight voted to pay the MEM
bers of the union strike s. a week per
member, each member to be allowed %
cents extra for every child in his family
undr 10 years of age. 1t was also voted
to pay doffers $3.50 per week and joiners
So. Strike pay will commence Saturday,
January %.
Lewiston, Maine, Jan. 18.-The Andres.
coggin cotton mills have shut down all
departments for an indefinite period, ow-
ing to the strike of portion of the oper-
atives.
Woonsocket, r. T., Jan. 1S.-Notices
were posted in the Alice Rubber mill to-
| day announcing shutdown on Thursday
night for two weeks. This mill is owned
by the United States Rubber company,
and employs 1900 hands.

HAVANA Is ALL TRANQUIL
Nobody is Hindering the Distribution
OfReIieE

Washington, Jan. 1S-Such information
as the state department has received as
to the situation in Havana is confirma
tory of the unofficial dispatches and
shows that quiet reigns in the city and
that the impression of the officials here
that the rlotous spirit had either exhaust
ed itself for the time being or had been
completely suppressed by the strong hand
of authority, is justified. The situation
was briefly alluded to in the cabinet meet
ing today, and was not regarded as war
ranting any change in the attitude of our
government
Minister De LONE has written the state
department denying the truth of the re-
port that the customs officers of Havana
have thrown obstacles in the way Of land
ing the supplies sent from the United
States for the Cuban sufferers. The state
department is satisfied that. regardless
of any difficulty that may have been ex-
perienced. there viii be no trouble from
now on in promptly placing in General
Lees possession for immediate distribu-
ton any supplies that reach Havana har-
Dor in the regular manner.
Chairman Adams, CT the sub-commOt-
tee on foreign affairs, has requested the
state department for such information

both ways, but buying slightly more than
they sold. Large operators were not very
active in the local market until the late
trading. There appeared to be general
undertone Of strength in the early trans
actions, but the temper gradually changed
and rumor-mongers were not idle. Among
other efforts to depress the market, there
was circulated an unfounded story that
the United States minister to Spain had
sought the protection of the British en-
bassy at Madrid. RealiZations of profits
by large interests aided the bear raid,
uncovering stop-loss orders, and the mar
ket closed at or near the lowest and very
weak. Manhattan Elevated and Metro
politan Street Railway advanced early on
manipulation, but the interests tht engi-
neered the advance in these securities
seemed later to have changed their posi-
ton Sales under the rule were made to-
day for the account of the brokers who
supported yesterday Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheel
ing and Tennessee Coal and Iron and
some of the grangers. The senate I'm
ance committees approval of the resolu-
tior<s,eclaring for the payment Of govern
ment bonds in either gold or silver was
used by traders as a bear card. The reso-
luton presented in the house in the form
of an amendment for the recognition Of
Cuban belligerency was not known until
near the closing hour. In the general
list the decline from the high point rang
ed from one to two points. but the net
losses in most cases were fractional.
BONDS.
The bond market was we'll held despite
the heavy liquidations in the stock mar
ket. The issues which have been con-
spicuous in the dealings of late contin-
ued to vibrate violently. Total sales were
sS,S4O,OOO.
Government bonds showed some hesi-
fancy, with quotations for the fves
shaded.
