Seattle, Wash, Jan. 19.-Twenty-twc
persons arrived here Monday night
from Dawson City on the steamer Co
roma, bringing with them small
amount of gold dust and drafts on the
North American Trading and Trans
portation Co. and the Alaska CONNER.
cial Co. amounting to between $780,
and 81, 900, 900. In the party was one
woman. She is the second woman to
come out this winter. The amount o.
drafts brought down represents the
proceeds of sales of claims to the
Cudahy-Healy Yukon and Klondike
Mining Co. and private parties. The
largest individual amounts were
brought by the following: d. Camp
bell, $1OO, 900; E. H. Jenkins, S150,0O0
Leonard Sedgwick, 100000 Andrew
Oleson, $12O,O00: 7. E. Brenier, $40, 900
Joe Brand $4,000.
In reference to the food situation al
Dawson, these arrivals corroborate pre-
vious reports that, while food is scarce
there will be no starvation. They con
slider that it will be impossible to gel
relief expedition in at this season o:
the year. Relief expeditions can easily
reach the foot of Lake Lebarge, but
the trouble will begin when the Yukor
river is reached. The Yukon is filled
from shore to shore with great ice
ridges from 10 to 30 feet high, the ice
being thrown up in great blocks and
standing in all sorts of angles.
Men with dogs can make their way
by hugging the shore, but no amount
of supplies can be carried with dog
teams. A roadway can be cut through
these ridges, but it would require a
large amount of money and it is doubt
full if the work could be completed
before the ice moves out of the river in
the spring. The proposed use of rein
deer in this country is considered en-
tirely impracticable. Heavy snow
storms have occurred this week on the
Chill1oot pass and travel has been prac
tically impossible for days at "A time.

IDLE LOOMS AND sPINoLEs.

Cotton Mill Operatives at New Bedford,
Mass, and Other New England Points
Strike Against a Reduction in Wages.
Boston, Jan. 1.-THE operatives in
over half a hundred cotton mills in
New England ceased to be paid under
the old schedule of prices when they
left their work Saturday. This morn
ing the general policy of the manufac-
turers to reduce wages will be in effect
in nearly every mill center in the six
states. The reduction will then be-
come operative in the cotton mills of
New Bedford, Lowell, the Pawtuclet
and Blackstone valley in Rhode Island
and in Maine and New Hampshire. The
Fall River mills-with the exception of
three corporations-cut wages earlier
in the month, as did also the Amoskeag
Co., of Manchester, and the mills in
Salem and a number of smaller places.
New Bedford continues to be the
storm center. The indications are
that all the cotton mills in that city
will be silent for some time to come,
the employees having decided almost
unanimously not to go to work under a
lower wage scale. The attempts of the
state board of arbitration to bring
about compromise have failed.
The New Bedford mill hands will be
supported by other centers. The op-
eratives in the Biddeford, Me-, mills
have voted to stay out and it is possible
that several minor strikes will occur
in other places. A portion of the Queen
City mill operatives at Burlington, VT.
are already out. Notices of 10 per
cent reduction were posted Saturday
by the Atlantic and Pacific corpora
tions, of Lawrence. A dispatch from
that city states that the other cotton
mills there will undoubtedly follow.
The Lawrence mills are the last to
come into line. They employ about
$4,000 hands. The reduction in most
of the New England mills amounts
either to 10 or IL 1-9 per cent.
New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 17.-Noth-
| ing can prevent a strike of all the op-
eratives in the cotton mills in this city
to-day. All attempts at adjusting the
differences between manufacturers and
operatives have failed. The operatives
of % mills, numbering s,525 hands, are
enforced into idleness and s7G, 500 spin
dies and 21,S16 looms will be hushed.

Thai BRIBERY INQUIRY.

of Charges of Crooked Meth
ods In Connection with the Ohio Senato-
rial Contest Deglns-Witnesses Refuse to
Answer Questions.
Columbus, o., Jan. 19.-Last night
the senate committee began its investi-
cation into the charges of bribery made
by Representative Otis during the re-
cent senatorial contest. The members
of the house committee appointed to
investigate the same charges were in
vited to be present, but they did not
participate officially and there will be
two separate Investigations. j. j. Sui
Ivan, II. NJ. Daugherty and Cyrus
Huling were present to represent Sen
ator Hanna, Maj. Dick and others and
the committee voted 4 to 1 against al
lowing any counsel to participate.
1t was decided to hold executive ses-
sions for business and to take testi-
mony in public. The committee went
from the committee room to the senate
chamber when it was ready to cali wit
nesses and crowd awaited them. The
committee consists of Senators Robert
son, Finck and Long, democrats, and
Senators Burke and Garfield, republic
leaders of the opposition to Senator
Hanna. Senator Garfield is the only
member of the committee who voted
for Hanna.
Senator Burke presided and Judge
Robertson examined the witnesses. In
the executive session Judge Robertson
was appointed prosecutor. All mem
bers of the committee asked questions
except Senator Garfield. There were
four witnesses examined, as follows:
Samuel Pentland, proprietor of the
Neil house, where Senator Hanna had
his headquarters; Shepherd M. Dunlap,
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co.; w. L. Truesdale, manager
of the Postal Telegraph Co.; Frank P
Ross, manager of the telephone com.
pany. Nothing new was developed
during the session of four hours.
MIR. Pent1and refused to produce his
books to show who paid for the room:
| at the Neil house and for other ex
penses and was given until tonight tc
| do so.
Manager Ross wanted to consult hi:
superior officers before telling who was
connected with the private telephone
in the Neil house by their long dis
tance lines, and he was given until to
night.
Managers Dunlap and Truesdalt
were given till tonight to produce
copies of kilograms sent and received
by the managers for Hanna.
The Investigation will drag along TO
some time if no more progress is mad
at future sessions than was made las
night. AS the senate stands 10 to 1
against Hanna with Senator Burk
voting with the democrats, it is prob
able that there will be some repor
adopted in that body to transmit to tn
United States senate. In the hous
the vote is Sc to SO the other way an
the house investigating committee ma
do little more than look on at the sci
ate investigation.

He was born in BEN BUTTERwoRTH.
Warren county, Ohio, October %, 1887;
was member of the state senate OF
Ohio from Warren and Butler counties
in 1S73-T4; was elected from the First
Ohio district to the Forty-sixth, Forty
seventh, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth con-
crosses, and was reelected to the Fif-
ty-first congress.
"Ben" Butterworth, as he has always
been best known, spent his earlier
years round about Maineville and Fos-
ter's Crossing-the latter little station
on the Little Miami railroad. His
father was William Butterworth, his
mother Linton, family noted for
their keenness of intellect and strength
in speech and debate. Both parents
were of Quaker ancestry. Maj. Butter
worth's keen intellect and remarkable
powers of perception were inherited
from his mother.
Mr.. Butterworth's first acquaintance
with law was made in the Office of
Durbin Ward, then successful prac-
titioner in Cincinnati. During the war
he attained the rank of major in an
Ohio regiment. He was commissioner
of patents first during the administra-
tion of Garfield and Arthur and his
record made then had great weight
with President Mckinley in selecting
him for that position.
He was made secretary of the worlds
fair project early in the inception of
that great enterprise at Chicago dur
ing the early '9O's and worked along in
that capacity with honor to himself
and profit to the company until its
close. A wife and four children sur
