Senator Reports on the Fail.
ure of His Commission.
INTERFERED.
He Says the Canse for International
Agreement is Not Dead, But is a
Living, Vital and Growing Issue in
European Countries.

| WASHINGTON, January 17.-Seuator
| WOlcOtt delivered his speech on the
alton OF his bimetallic commissios
this afternoon. 1t was reported as un-
officially made. After review ing the
inception and start of the com % i<sior
Wolcott reporteda the work done in
Europe. He raped the British press
severely as bri,g hostile, brutal ana
u fir; voicing no industrial element
of their own pc Op'e nor showing cour-
tesy to strangers. They were control
ed by banking interests. although mil
lions of beir own people. most of them
extremely poor, had inves' ed their all

bankers in England, " hO sought access
to English officials and assured them
that any sentiment which formerly ex-
listed in the Un ted Sta tes in favor of
bimetallism, was dead; that the mission
was sent solely as sop'to a few far
western republicans; that the country
generally favored gold standard; thai
President Mckinley shared this view.
These statements were untrue, but to
support them these people assumed to
present interviews and statements of
seeming fact" Mr.. Wolcott paid
high compliment to Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, chairman of the rationel
democratic committee, who gave the
project his hearty support, though he
believed the commission would fail.
Senator Wolcott summarized the sit
uation as follows:
England has finally and explicitly
refused to open the English mints to
silver or alter the existing gold stand
ard: she declines to open the India
mints to the coinage silver, basing her
refusal specifically, first upon the lack
Of certainty that France and the United
States could together maintain it's pari-

The cause of bimetallism is not dead in

is no reason for him to conclude to
change his mind. The president never
endorsed Secretary Cages bill which

Mr.. W"lcott declared a~large major

possibility.
Its accomplishment would be the
greatest blessing that could befall our
people.

Quick Engine Building.

An Interesting rivalry is now going
on between the English and Am erican
locomotive builders as to which can
turn out a locomotive in the shorte- t
space of time. At present the honors
a with the Englishmen, but more
than one Amer can builder is laying
plans to bring the laurels to this side
of the Atlantic. The worlds record is
now held by the Great Eastern
railway works at Strattord, Eng
land.
This company broke the record of
the Altoona works of the Pennsylva
II "a system aud has forsix years had q
standing challenge open to
the world 10 equal it's achieve
ment.
The Great Eastern built an engine
complete in ten hours in 1891. Eighty
five men were put to work on the en-
gine and So oa the tender. Five hours
after the work was begun the engine
was wheeled and five hours later the
locomotive was turued out complete,
from pilot to the rear of the tender.
The first performance of this kind
ever attempted was made at the Lon
don & North western works at Crewe 10
years ago, when an engine was built in
254 hours. Six months later the works
at Altoona beat that record by nearly
ten hours.

New England Mill Hands Go
Out in Force.
TEN THOUSAND NOW OUT.
Weavers and Spinners in the New Eng
land s ates Go Out in Full Force
49, Rather Than Stand q Cut in Wages.
RiOting Reported.

BOSTON, Mass, January III
con formity with the decision of the as
sociation of the New England cottor
manufacturers the wage reduction o
ten per cent goes into effect today in
the mills of New Hampshire, Rhodf
Island and Maine This completes
what is practically universal cut OF
ton mill operatives of New England:
affecting altogether something like
300, 600 people. In New Bedford and
several other milling centers of lesser
importance, the operatives have decid-
ed to strike rather than submit to a
reduction, which the operators them
selves look upon and regard as perma-
Lent rather than temporary, but it re-
mains to be seer whether this example
will be generally followed. New Bed
ford on account of the strength there
of both the employe ers and the employ
ed and the fact that the latter were
the first in New England to exhibit
signs of Dissatisfaction, is regarded as
the key of the situation, and upon the
degree of success attending the resist
ance inaugurated in that city today
will depend the matter of broadenin e
and extending the strike to all other
mill towns in Massachusetts, as well as
Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Is
l.
backed by the New England union in
the stand they have taken and in the
event of prolonged struggle will have
tt moral aud financisl support of all
the labor organizations in this section
Of the country.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, January II.
The mill operatives of this city, mum
bering ten Thousand, struck this morn
ing. Practically all the spindles and
looms in the city are silent. while oper-
atives throng the sidewalks in bitter
zero weather. In fact twenty two
mills here have earned profits for their
stock holders for the past two years,
while mills in other cotton industrial
centres have barely paid expenses,
therefore, New Bedford mill owners
are in better position to continue the
old scale of wages and operatives here
have more occasion to object to q cut
down.
Disorders have broken out among
the strikers and the situation this after
noon is very ugly.

The Date Set.

Last Thursday, pursuant to call the
congressional cOmmitte of the Seventh
district met at the Brunswick parlors
and proceeded to fix time and place of
holding the convention, and the appor-
tionment. Everything was as harmon
iOus as could be wished. The first
matter of business was the election of
a temporary chairman. Mr.. W. j.
Brandon, of Kingman, was quickly
elected by acclamatiOn Mr.. Brandon
is an old and efficient worker and
friend of Jerry Simpson.
The time was set for May 10Th and
after about four or five ballots Hutch
inson was selected as the place Dodge
City, Great Bend, and Garden City
were voted for, Dodge City being next
behind Hutchinson.
The appOrtiOnment was fixed at two
delegates at large FROM each county
and one for every 200 votes for Jerry
Simpson in 1895, or major fraction
thereof, provided that no county should
nave less than three delegates. This
arrangement was made TO allow the
western counties good representation.
Mr., Simpson was in town and after
the work Of the committee was over,
was called upon for a few remarks
which he made. He spoke Of the mis-
sion of the party and its work. He
showed how it had leavened the public
opinion on economic issues. AS an ex
ample he spoke of the growth of favor
for public ownership of public utilities
and said that public ownership of
water works etc. had become the pOpu.
lar fad in eastern cities. He said that
when he first went 70 Congress he and
other pOpulists were pointed at as those
fools who believed the government
should own the railroads. Now the
question is regarded as a matter for
CuHoluCldJlOu anu OlO VI buO uldlIClo
to be reckOned witch.
Harry Lands, warden of the peni-
Tertiary, who was also present, was
called upon and made few remarks
urOing harmony and corporation for
victory. He said "Of course we all
know now who the nominee of this con-
ventiOn will be Our present repre-
sentative is the logical candidate and
merits denomination" or words to
that effect. AS Mr. Lands has usually
been listed among Mr., Simpson enc
mics, these words are very significant.
Mr.. Upton, secretary Of the State
central committee was then called upon
for short talk His remarks were di-
rected chiefly to matters of State Or
ganizatiOn.
It. was an suspicious meeting and
pOrlends a successful can paign.

Chickens vs.. Peace.

Pherson Opinion, when a twenty cent
hen and a fifty cent garden can make a

rate, that the war has begun in Hutch

dinance causes more troubles than any
thing except the Salvation army which
however has subsidized since it got new
captain so that it seems to fall behind
the hens. A man was fined last week
for violating the chicken ordinance and
left six dollars in the city exehequor.
He protested that his hens were good,
we'll behaved hens and he had good
