JAPANESE CRUISER LAUNCHED.
Doves Released Instead of n Bottles
Being Broken.

PHILADELPHIA, January 2O.-The
japanese cruiser Kasagi. was launched
at Cramps ship-yard to-day. The true
Oriental spirit pervaded the event. and
perhaps for the same reason that the
dainty Japanese begin their dinners with
pie and end with soup, this deadly engine
of war was named with all the emblems
OF peace, tranquility, and love. When
the breathless moment came, and the
huge ship began 10 glide down 10 her
first bath i'm the muddy Deiaware3 six
doves fluttered from a basket at the bow,
and circling about the fast-receding hull
scattered flowers on her deck and on the
nondescript structure of timber and iron
from which she had slipped gracefully
away.
1t was a very pretty piece of mechanism,
and IL was not at all incongru-
Gus that the chief actor of legendary lore
should be charming Miss Helen Long,
daughter of the Secretary OF the Navy.
There were no afterceremonies at the
yard, but the Washington party the most
conspicuous members of which were Sec
rotary Long and his daughter. went to
the Hotel Walton, where they were
guests of the japanese Minister at dinner.
There was some speech making there, but
il was of an entirely informal character,
and later in the afternoon the visitors
left for home.

NEW ENGLAND MILL TROUBLES.
Not 10 he Confined to MiII-Towns-
Labor Legislation.

BOSTON, January W.-Ihe sum total OF
new features in to-days record of the
textile troubles was the shutting down
of the Cabot mill. at Brunswick, Me-. be-
cause of the desertion Of help in sym
pathy with striking weavers, and the an
nouncement that a small mill Of the Social
Manufacturing Company at WOonsocket,
r. l., would shut down for a few days
for lack Of orders.
But the mill troubles are evidently not
to be confined to the mill cities, for a
side-issue brought up to-day was labor
legislation in the Massachusetts Legis-
lature.
1t will be remembered that the Ark
wright Club, i'm recommending a cut down
of wages, laid stress upon the competition
Of southern mills, through longer work
ing day of mill employees. The club fur
thermore urged the repeal of the restric-
tive measures in force in Massachusetts.
With the first inkling Of an attempt TO
carry out this recommendation, labor
representatives in the House introduced
bills for new legislation Tor 55-hour week,
with no overtime for women and chill
dren, ana TO investigate the present tex
tile situation.
Along the line of battle to-day from
there was absolute quietude. The State
Board OF Arbitration sent Member Barry
to the former place. to see if the strikers
would not abandon the financial issue. but
the outcome of his errand will only show
i'm the talk at union meetings tomorrow.
In Fall River the discomfort. although
entirely beneath the surface, is growing
and the mill officials know it, and are
apprehensive Evidence of stubbornness
on the part Of the operatives in defending
their position is shown in Biddeford. Me-,
where arrangements for serving strike ra-
tiOns of soup and food are being made.
Here the citizens, even to Chinese laun-
drymen. are contributing money and So
cieties are Offering aid. The strike may
assume acute conditions there sooner than
at any other place, judging from local
indications.
EFFORT TO START UP.
BIDDEFORD, ME-, January 20.-An eff
fort will be made by the officials of the
Pepperell and Laconia cloth-mlls to start
Monday next, and all textile workers who
desire TO return TO work under the 10 per
cent. cut down will have an opportunity
20 do So
The union men are almost positive that
not enough operatives will go back to
start the mills.
