Ready Made War Policies Supplied.


Being new and untried I had one
drawback as a correspondent, but luck
lily learned my trouble early. I had
no policy. A war artist found this out.
and being friendly, he took me from an
unfinished letter to private room. He
had something on his mind, he said, and
l could finish the letter any old time.
"You don't know much about the
army?
1 told him that until six weeks ago 1
was not able to tell doughboy officer
from cavalryman by the stripes down
his leg. He smiled with infinite pity
and tolerance.
Therefore" said, ~ am not mill
tary critic, and shall not pass judgments
and deliver opinions for some days yet ("
you've got to" he said, in tone that
ended argument. "You must have
policy. I'll give you one." And he
began.
Now the war artist with pencil has no
peer, and with his pen he laid bare in
these columns, not long ago, the bowels
of battle-ship after fashion that would
have done no discredit to Kipling. But
when he talks-there's the rub. He is
a linguistic terror to the foreign attaches
who are beginning to plume themselves
on their English. He favors monosyla-
bles, pauses, dashes, exclamation points,
Indian sign-lapguage and heys, hubs,
and humphs that fill out sentences, COM
plete paragraphs, and round up e)abo-
rate argument.
"There is lot any damn fool can say
of course-hey? Bnt you mustn't say it
huh ? Give 'em hell afterwards
That's right-ain't it? Understood
Regular army all right" (Sign-language
here.) ''These damn fools outside-hey ?
Best army in world at close of war" (sign-
language,) "best equipped you under.

guage.) "All right now-go ahead"
nodded my head basely-the policy

all over; and, after thinking it all owe,

Congress-.

A Lively Fight In the House over the
Cuban QuestIon---the Democrats Try
TO Force the Action Of the RepubIi-
cans.
The Democratic minority precipitated a
lively fight in the House on Tuesday on the
question of recognizing Cuban belligerency.
The scheme was sprung on the House in
the guise of an amendment to the dipo-
matte appropriation bill reducing the sal
airy of Consul General Lee from $4,000 to
$500. This amendment was clearly out
of order, since the rules do not permit new
legislation upon appropriation bills, and
the point of order was quickly raised by
Chairman Hit of the committee on for
eign affairs. Col Hepburn of Iowa, who
was in the chair, sustained the point of or
der, but Mr.. De Almond promptly APP
pealed. urging the Republicans to free
themselves for one hour from their domn-
ion to the speaker and his rules. Mr..
Dingley and Mr.. Hit held the Republican
was sustained 1j2 to ia. Speaker Reed,
who was on the floor of the House,
marched between the tellers with his 40
associates on the final vote.
The contest was renewed Wednesday,
but as on Tuesday the minority hurled
| itself against a stone wall. The Repubi-
cans stood solidly together and refused to
override the decision of the speaker and
direct the committee on foreign affairs to
report the Cuban resolution passed by the
| Senate at the last session.
The speech of the day was made by Hit,
who spoke plainly OF the Spanish author
| ity in Havana as tottering between armed
/ forces without and tumutuOus riot within
! but with impressive words he warned the
members that the vast responsibility OF
action, with the momentous consequences
that might ensue, rested on the shoulder,
of the Executive, not on members of Con
gress who might be making speeches fol
popular approval. He referred TO Gen
Lee as an officer Of ability, who could b,
relied upon to guard our honor at Havana
and concluded with an eloquent appeal tC
the members of the House to drown al
other voices, as they did in the Venezuelan
crisis, and stand by the President of tn,
country. Mr.. HIT was listened TO will
the closest attention. Members crowded
about him, and the thronged gallerie
leaned over TO catch his words. As h.
concluded a roar of applause rose from tn
floor and galleries.
On both days the action Of the Republi
can majority was aoldly in support of tn,
principle affirmed by Secretary Olney dur
ing the Cleveland administration, that tn
recognition of the belligerency of an insur
gent government is matter for executv
action and not for Congress.

Strike in the Cotton Mills.
A 10 to IL Per Cent Cut In Wages Affects
10000 Operatives 49, $4,000 GO out
on Strike---Reasons for the Cut.

A 10 90 IL Per Cent Cut In Wages Affects
10000 Operatives 49, 5000 GO out
on strike---Reasons for the Cut.
The reduction in the wages of the opera
tives in the New England cotton mills,
which had been previously announced,
went into effect last Monday, and
there followed the expected strikes in
several of the mill centres-notably in
New Bedford, Mass, and in Biddeford,
Saco and Lewiston, Me. 1t is estimated
that the reduction in wages affects l2j, 600
operatives in $50 mills and that about 1j,
600 of these operatives have struck, leav-
ing about 1000 who are willing to accept
the reduced wages for the time being
The cut amounts to about 10 per cent in
most of the mills, but in several of the mill
towns it is as high as II 10 per cent, or
even more while In some of the small
mills it is only FIVE per cent. The cut
makes the average wages less than SO a
week. The cut is made on account of the
Improbable condition Of the trade in cot
ton goods. The mills have been making
no money and the owners say it is simply
a question whether they shall run at loss
or cut wages. The condition is due to two
causes: First, the rapidly. growing compe
tition of cotton mills in the South, where
labor is cheap, and raw materials close at
hand, and the climatic condition favorable
second, to over-production, the market
being glutted with cotton fabrics The
| operatives say on their part, that the cut
means poverty and slow starvation II is
estimated that the reduction means a loss
of between SIS, 600 and $50, 900 a week to
the wage earners in the six states, and the
additional loss to strikers in the various
centres if they remain idle even for short
| time will swell this amount to a much
larger figure.
The shutdown in New Bedford is com
| plete Not a spindle is turning or loom
moving in the city. Nine thousand ope-
ratives are out. Crowds gathered about
the mills Monday, but they were good
natured for the most part, and there have
been no serious acts OF violence.
In Fall River, Mass, Providence and
WoonsOcket, K. l., Hoyoke and Chicopet
and in the Worcester county Mass towns
the wage reduction was accepted and the
mills are not affected by the strike.

The K.en-Minded Edmunds.
From the Washington correspondence in tn
Boston Journal

n rom the Washington correspondence m the
Boston Journal
George F. Edmunds was a conspicuous
figure about the Capitol last week. He APP
peared before the House committee on
banking and currency, and it was a treat
to listen to his clean cut incisive discussion
OF the monetary commissions plan for
currency reform Edmundss mind is Just
as keen, and his wit is just as effective as
in the old days when he sat in the front
row OF the Senate, a terror TO the opposi-
ton, and sometimes to his friends. AS
he sat at the committee table, his finger
tips pressed tenderly together after the
long familiar fashion, and his jerome like
face beaming benevoently upon the mem
beers around him one could almost imagine
himself looking down on the floor of the
Senate in the old days when Edmunds was
the one man to command every ear every
time he spoke.
Nobody has exactly taken Edmunds's
place since he left public life. The dia-
mond like hardness and brilliancy of his
mind were never approached by any of
his colleagues, and they have never been
approached by any of his successors. 1t
was noticeable in the hearings last week
with how much Difference the eX- Senator
was listened to, and how tenderly those
members of the committee opposed TO his
position ventured upon an occasional ques-
ton. His replies in every instance were
crystalline and unequivocal, and three
times out of four left his interlocutors in a
worse position than if the question had
not been asked.
