The SP|NDLES ARE HUSHED
THOUSANDS OF OPERATIVES RE-
FUSED TO GO TO WORK At
REDUCED WAGES.
A GLOOMY and DhEARY OUTLOOK
The Reductions Amount to n De-
crease of over $4,000 Per Week.
The Hands in Only n Few Mills
Are Now mt Work.

Boston, Jan. ia reduction in the
wages Of about 125,O00 operatives en-
ployed in nearly $50 cotton mills in New
England, which the manufacturers de-
cided upon as a temporary remedy for
the depression in the cotton goods indus
try of the north, went into effect in ma
jority of mills today. In several mill
centers, namely New Bedford aud Bidde-
ford, Saco and Lewiston, Me-, dissatis-
faction among the mill hands is intense
and strike are on The eighteen mills of
the former city, which give employment
to about 5000 hands, have been shut
down because the operatives have re-
fused to accept the reduction, and the
contest inaugurated promises to be one
of the most stubborn in the history of
the textile industry. The situation in
New Bedford is very gloomy. Business
there had not recovered from the depres-
sion which followed the failure OF six
mill corporations last spring.
Pepperell mills in Biddeford, Me-, re-
fused to go to work this morning under
the new schedule, and it is thought the
strike will not be settled easily. Some
of the employees of the York mills of
Sac0 also joined the Biddeford move
ment The Androscoggn in Boston and
the King Phillips company of Fall River
were handicapped by Il number of hands,
and the Queen City mill of Burlington,
VT, has been. on account of strike,
which followed the posting of notices
of a reduction.
An incident at the Achusetnet mills in
New Bedford, in which dirt and stones
were thrown ut the managers without
doing any harm was the nearest ap-
prOach to serious trouble. This after
noon quiet prevailed in all sections and
the stores and streets were almost de-
serted. On January 3 the reduction took
effect in mills employing about $4,000
cotton mills of Maine, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, the mills of New Bedford
Lowell and large number of smaller
places in this state, and in New Hamp-
shire. The Atlantic and Pacific corpora
ton of Lawrence, and probably the other
cotton mills there. and in one or two
other places, will make cut next Mon
day. The cut amounts to about 10 per
cent in many places, but in several cenr
tiers it is ii 10 per cent, and even high
or. while in few small mills it is only
about per cent. The New Bedford
strikers will be supported financially by
the operatives in other centers. and, 1t
is said, they are prepared to hold out
until spring. The national organization
of textile unions has also voted to sup
port the New Bedford strike. It is es-
timated that the reduction means loss
of between $4,000 and $4,000 week
to the wage earners in the six states,
and the additional loss to strikers in the
various centers. if they remain idle even
for n short time, will swell this amount
to a much larger figure.

New Bedford. Mass. Jan. ia shut
down, the most complete in the history
of the cotton mills of New Bedford, be-
gan this morning. Not spindle was
turning nor loom in motion in the fac
tories of the cloth corporations nm hour
after the usual time for beginning work.
Between fifty and sixty operatives went
into the Bristol mill, and twenty-five
or thirty into the Whitman. but aside
from these no mill made any show Of
running, and thes two shut down. Nine
corporations, operating eighteen mills, in
which upwards of 5000 hands are en-
ployed, are involved in the strike. The
cut down is uniform all over the city,
10 per cent.

The Costa Ricnn COunterfeiters

For months the Costa Rican counter
feitcrs have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, it is said. has reached $1,000
600. Inspectors of the secret service
bureau were chiefly instrumental in
bringing the indicators to justice. The
efficiency of the secret service is I'M
doubted. but it is by no means a secret.
but a patent fact, that the service that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does the
weak. nervous and dyspeptic is of genu-
inc value. There have been from time
to time counterfeiters of it, but the
miniature note of hand on the label, and
the vgnette of st. George and the
Dragon, are not successfully imitable.
This tonic absolutely prevents and
remedies malaria. rheumatism, liver
complaint and dyspepsia.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The first con-
tested election case of the present con-

on elections No. 2, reported that Thomas

against Jesse f.. Stallings. representing
the Second Alabama district, had aban-
doned such contest, and the committee
therefore unanimously reported Il resolu-
ton declaring Mr.. Stallings entitled to
the seat.
The house then resumed the consider
alton of the army appropriation bill.
When the house adjourned yesterday a
point of order had been reached against
provision of the bill modifying the mode
of computing the mileage of army Off
GERS. The chair overruled the point of
order.
Mr.. Sayers (dem) of Texas said the
provision would increase the cost of
mileage to the government. and after
some discussion it was temporarily
passed over.
Mr.. Sayers then raised a point of or
der against the provisions requiring the
pay of enlisted men by paymasters in
person. The point of order was sustain
