about to sail, as h his judgment will best serve the interests of the army. A short time ago brigade under command of Gen erai Snyder was ordered to be placed in readiness for immediate service and oeeu- patton at Cienfuegos. Since that time it has been found that there are 1900 Span ish troops at Cienfuegos and that more Spanish troops are to be sent there so that the Spanish garrison cannot be removed by December 1.
 This was the date originally fixed when General Snyder should go to Cienfuegos. Besides the 19,O00 troops originally at this place it has been found necessary to send a large number of troops from Havana on account of the disturbances and mutlny which has occurred there. The prepara- tions thus far made do not indicate that United States authorities are in any great hurry about sending troops to Cuba. No ships for transports have been assembled at Savannah and no orders have been issued for tie quartermaster's department to send transports to southern points for the em- barkation of troops to Cuba.

THE FIGHT TONIGHT.
Corbett Favorite Over Sharkey in the
 Fistic Contest.

New York, November 21.-The sporting element in this city is in a ferment over the coming meeting between James J. Cor bett and Thomas Sharkey.
 While each seems confident of victory, Corbett Is still the favorite among the ma- jority of sporting men.
 Tom O'Rourke, who is Sharkey's packer, manager and trainer, says that Tom will surprise those who have doubts as to his ability. "Sharkey has improved wonder fully" said he, "and is in fine fettle He has trained well and carefully, doing every thing that was asked of him without murmur.'
 Corbett only boxed a couple of rounds this afternoon to Timber up. and his trainer, Charley White, was more than pleased with his man. The latter said:
 Jim has gone through his course of training splendidly, and today he is shade better than when he met Fitzsimmons at Carson City. There he lost the fight when he had it won, but tomorrow night will tell different story. Corbett is just as fast as he ever was. His leg work could not be better. During his preparation for this bout Jim has learned to fight a little slower than heretofore, and this is an advantage, as 1t will enable him to hit harder. am confident that he will win, and the fight should not last more than fifteen rounds,

Trouble -Culminates in an Individual
 Wallz-Out by the Enaployes.

Angusta, Ga, November 2l.-After threat ening for some days, the local mill trouble eliminated today in an individual walk out. Over s,o0O employees are idle, three of the largest mills and two of the smaller being included in the trouble. They are:
 King mill. eooOO spindles, 1,eS5 hands; sib- ley. with 9O0 hands and 4O.255 spindles; En- terprise, 5000 spindles, 900 hands; Isaetta. s.b5S splndles, 105 hands
 The affair is styled an individual walk out" while it is in reality strike. The trouble began about a month ago when the Southern Manufacturers association an- nounced that in order to meet competition it was necessary to make a reduction of from to 13 per cent in all branches of the mill industry. When the scale of reduc- ton was posted 1t was found that 1t started with, in some cases. below the section hands, none above being cut. Straightway the operatives began organization under the direction Of the local representatives Of the federation of labor.
 Saturday the merchants of the city with but two exceptions, presented to Mr. Chas Estes. president of the association, peti- tion asking that no present reduction be made, as it would precipitate a strike. The petition was received as information.
 The walk-out started this morning in the weaving department of the Sibley. opera tives joining from the King. The strikers then went over to the Enterprise and were joined by the workers there. A mass meet ing was held this afternoon, speeches being made by several operatives and Hon. Pat rick Walsh, mayor of the city,
 Upon his suggestion a committee of five was appointed to wait on the mill owners to see what could be adjusted. This con- ference will take place tomorrow morning at l0;So o'clock. Meanwhile there Is grim determination on both sides
 There has been no distSrbance of any kind, though the factory district is per- feet hive of meetings tonight.

To Have Restrictions Removed

Washington, November 21.-The attention Of the Anglo-American commission has been drawn to the recent rulings of the United States bureau of immigration that the commercial travellers of Canada fall within the restrictions of the alien labor law, and that they cannot carry on their work on this side of the border. It is set forth that large number of commercial travellers from the United States have regular routes through Canada, and that if this country intends to exclude Canadian statesmen it will be necessary to retaliate by excluding American salesmen from Canada. Efforts will be made, however to have the restrictions removed on both sides.

II is not fashionable for men VINO
own hanks to wear overalls, but they
often do lots of dirty work all the
same.
It is very fashionable for store
keeper to offer his customers some
thing Just as good" out of which ne
can make more profit.
It is quite stylish for pretending
Christian congregations to- Are their
pastors If they venture to preach true
Christianity. .....,,
The very latest style of prosperity
1.-THE Mckinley brandt is ushered IN
through, the medium Of free soup
houses and charity wood yards.
1t is still stylish to export our 1000
products to Europe for the purpose OF
making profit while many OF our own
people are starving
1t is quite fashionable for the mem
hers of our legislatures to keep their
mouths shut about the right OF labor
and to work them overtime for the
benefit of trusts. l.ls11e.
The style Of prosperity enjoyed by
the working class remains unchanged.
There are no prospects Of change for
the better this year. ,.

Yes. YOU hate to be bought and you
hate to be sold,
And you hate to be forced to pay Shy
lock in gold,
You hate the hard times, but you're
bound to die game,
You hate 'em-but you vote for 'em
just the same.
You hate politicians that swagger and
rant,
You hate good deal of the old party
cant.
You hate a large share of the ticket
you name
You hate it-but vote for it just the
same!
You hate to be trampled in financial
way,
And you hate giant frauds going on
day by day,
You curse in your soul the corruption
you blame
You curse it-and vote for it just the
same!
You long for good laws and prosperous
times,
And you want to see boodlers sent up
for their crimes,
You want more reforms than we've
space here to name.
But-you never vote for them just the
same!
You hope for change, and you pray
for relief,
And you swear you'll bring partisan
schemers to grief,
Then you march to the polls to put
blockheads to shame
But-vote the old ticket again just the
same. Eek.

The Telephone Monopoly.

Detroit, with a population exceeding
900 900, new has an independent tele-
phone company, whose central station
is serving 1890 customers, and which
EXPECTS to accommodate 1900 or 1900
more within the next six months.
Not only do Detroit people use their
telephones quite as frequently as other
folks. but they appear to get quite az
good quality of service. And yet the
rates which this independent organiza-
ton demands are only from one-third
to one-sixth as great as those which
New Workers pay. For private houses
the price in Detroit is $25 year, and
for places of business only $40.-New
