WILL RESIST THE CUT.
Spinners' Union Decides to Strike
Against n Reduction in Wages.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Jan 5.-The
Spinners Union tonight unanimously voted
to resist by a strike the proposed reduction
of wages. The union members in this city
number 450 steady spinners, one hundred
spare spinners and $50 doffers. The meet
ing tonight was attended by both spinners
and doffers. AT the outset Secretary Ross
offered a suggestion to the meeting as 10
the advisability of postponing action in the
matter of reduction until the feeling of
other unions could be learned. but the meet
ing would not hear of postponement. The
general sentiment was expressed that the
weavers and card and picker room asso-
Citations would strike any way and 1t was
not necessary to wait. to find out what ac-
ton the other unions would take. The IN
formal ballot favoring a strike was not
made formal as it was decided TO wait q
few days to see if a way of effecting
settlement was possible. Committees on
conference with the manufacturers and with
committees from the other labor unions in
the city in case of strike to arrange for
the management were appointed.
Samuel Ross, of the local Spinners Union,
who is also secretary of the National Mule
Spinners Union, will call meeting of the
executive council of the national union to
be held in Boston next Sunday, when the
question of sanctioning a strike by the
spinners in this city will be settled

Boys Strike Still On.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 5.--The striking boys
at Ball Brothers fruit-jar works continued
to stand firm at 10 o'clock tonight, when
it was believed that a majority of them
would return to work. Every department
of the factories is working full blast. The
boys places have been filled with men,
some of them old enough to be grandfathers
of the oldest striker, and at wages much
above the 81 a week asked by the boys. They
have been hired for a week, and in the
meantime the firm believes that the boys
will come back to work. To operate the fac
tory tonight it was necessary to have some
of the day men who are employed in other
departments work IN the strikers places
One reason, above all others, for the strike
is the fact that the limit on the number of
Jars each blower shall make each day has
been removed and the fact that some blow
ers who made $6 and IS per day are now
making $40 shows the increased amount of
work of their assistants, the boys. Tonight
it is impossible for some of the men to do the
work and keep pace with the blowers The
Lehr boys joined the strikers to-day, causing
the worst trouble to the firm. They want
81 a day. 1t is reported tonight that $50
girls employed in the grinding room will also
quit if not given an increase. The state la
Dor commissioners believe that the boys have
lost their strike.

Mr.. Strobe (Rep., Neb) closed the debate
for the day with a speech in favor of civil

who, he said, urged the abuses or the spoils

to Mr.. Lands, asserted that the record

CRYSTAL BUILDING AT PARIS.
brilliant Glass, Water and Electric
Eject Designed for 1900 Exposition.

A brilliant idea for a Paris exposition nov
city emanates from NJ. Zoweski the we'll
known architect of the Russian National
Theater, and pupil of the celebrated Baron
Ferstel 1t provides for the erection of a
crystal building over which will fall cas-
cades of water from hundreds of fountains
and Jets. The building will be made entirely
Of glass and will rival in beauty of con-
structon and originality of design the
famous Crystal Palace of London. The
Paris palace of glass will be shaped some
what like the minaret-topped structures
that are so much admired in Oriental cities.
1t will cover an area OF 900 square
ers and in the center will arise a mnaret
of beautiful and original design.
Such structure will be flooded with light
in q manner calculated to show off the fine
points of exhibits. and the managers have
decided TO concentrate in the crystal building
exhibits that require perfect light conditions

conceal imperfectiOns, rare paintings. the
curios of earth and the treasures of the
ocean.
But it is the outside of the building that
will be the greatest wonder by night and
day Water will be conveyed by line of
piping from every point where 1t is possible
to do so without interfering with the
beauty of the building. Wherever a jet
can be added or a fountain made to play
without destroying the general harmony of

No Danger of n stringency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--In answer to IN
quries as to the redemption of outstanding
currency skies Assistant Secretary Wander
lip to-day said: There need be no fear that
the treasury will contribute to any string
ency in the money market. Possibly the
treasury in the matter of receipts on ac-
count of the sale of the Pacific Railroad
has obtained from one to two million dol
lars more than it has paid out on account
of the currency skies which have been re-
deemed up until to-day. AT this time cur
rency skies have been redeemed amounting
to, principal, 49, 1852, and interest, $57S,-
1885, OF these amounts 16,07S,270 have been
paid by check, mostly on New York, and
it is safe to say that $15,O0o,O00 of this
amount has been made available in the
market. The payment to be made to-day by
the reorganization committee of the Union
Pacific Railroad to the government amounts
to $8,53S, 401, all of which will be paid INTO
the assistant treasury at New YORK. Inc
last payment of a similar amount was not
all placed in the treasury but $l,OOO,OOO We're
deposited with the National City Bank:
January payments on the 4-per-cents OF
1904 have just been made amounting 10
Sc 100000. nine-tenthS of which goes to New
York. January pensions of some $l2,OO0O oO
are also being paid, and S9,C0O,GO0 or TINS
will be paid by New York. OF course this
money is not all Immediately available 10
the market, but day by day 1T comes into
circulation and in the course of a month
it is safe to say much Of it will be in New
York banks On the whole, then, the bal
ance is largely against the government. The
Union Pacific settlements are practically a
set-off. and payments on account of interest
ume of currency in circulation. If, there
fore there should by any stringency in the
market it must arise from some cause indie
pendent of treasury transactions. There is
no prospect of immediate withdrawal OF
government deposits in New York banks on
cific Railroad. These funds will be with
drawn gradually as the money is needed
and will depend upon conditions existing at
currency skies outstanding to-day, SIC, 1885,
600 includes 81 600 held by New York
banks as security for deposits. OF course
merely a transfer of funds and no real
money transaction"

Tax Ferret Question.

RENSSELAER,, Ind. JAN 5.-Ths county
is considerably stirred up on the tax fer
ret case. Judge Simon P. Thompson has
issued two orders restraining the Board of
Commissioners from employing or paying
the ''ferrets." The board has shown an in
clination to avoid the injunctions, and the
whole matter has been referred to the
grand jury, and there is a fair prospect of
indicting the Board of Commissioners as
well as the ferrets In instructing the
grand jury on the subject of assessing and

attention to the matter of taxing property
and if any officers having the matter IL
hand were shown to have neglected their
