New Bedford and the announcement of
a 5 per cent semiannual dividend in the
Pepperell mills and 8 per cent semian
nual dividend at the Laconia mills, both
at Biddeford. where there are strikes,
the prospects are far from good for a
settlement of the labor troubles in New
England this week.
The new turn of affairs yesterday was
not in Massachusetts. 1t was in Rhode
Island, at the Centerville Cotton mill,
where new strike was reported by 125
weavers quitting work on the claim
that their cut averaged 16 per cent II
was also announced that a bill would
be introduced in the general assembly
to investigate the textile conditions In
that state.
In New Bedford a rumor was current
that one mill would break its agree
ment and restore the old wage scale.
Little credence is given to the story.
When the weavers' executive commit
tee met yesterday afternoon, the fine
issue was not considered, showing that
the strikers are not inclined to COM
promise on any point.
The strike aid promised seems quite
substantial, judging from reports given
out last night.
The action of citizens at large to
end the strike by asking the mill man
agements to take down their notices
and curtail production has been re-
buked by positive refusal. In other
mill centers there is no labor change.

hoped for rescue until they saw the
Tillie rapidly settling. They then
launched the lifeboat, just as the coast

down on them.
The big five master ran close to the
sinking steamer and saved 10 of the "a
men on board the Tillie. On the last
trip of the longboat it went to pieces
and the six men it held were rescued
only after a desperate fight with the

BY this time the seas were sweeping
the Tillie from end to end and she had
sunk TO her rails. Then she plunged
and went down like a bullet, carrying
with her three Cubans and the steward.

SENATOR TELLER WARMLY DEFENDS

Griggs' Nomination Promptly Confirmed
Acrimonious Debate In the Senate on
the Teller ResoIution--Indian Appro-
priation Bill Discussed In the House.
Washington, Jan. 26.-The session OF
the senate was characterized by heat
ed, almost acrimonious, discussion OF
the financial question. For nearly four
hours the Teller resolution was under
consideration, the principal speeches
being made by Mr. Allison (Rep.) of
Iowa, Mr. Berry (Dem) of Arkansas
and Mr. Hoar (Rep.) of Massachusetts.
The sharpest colloquy was at times in
dulged in between the advocates and
the opponents of the resolution, the de-
bate often approaching bitterness.
The feature of the discussion was "a
speech delivered by Mr.. Teller the au-
thor Of the resolution, his statements
calling out suggestion from Mr. Hoar
that he (Mr. TeIler) ought to have them
stricken from the record.
In response to an inquiry by Mr..
Spooner (Rep.) of Wisconsin, Mr.. Vest

sion apparently giving satisfaction to
the opponents of the measure.
The nomination of Hon John w.
Griggs to be attorney general was con-
firmed by the senate in an executive
session which did not continue for more
than five minutes. The nomination was
brought to the attention of the senate
by Senator Hoar, chairman of the COM
mittee on judiciary who reported 1t
from that committee. There was no
objection to immediate confirmation.
Indian Bill In the House.
Under the parliamentary fiction of
discussing the Indian appropriation
bill. the house devoted almost the en-
tire day to political debate, in which
the main question was whether pros
perity had come to the country as re-
suit of the advent of the present ad-
ministration AS the speeches were
limited to FIVE minutes each, many
members participated, and partisan
spirit kept the interest keyed up to a,
high pitch.
The acrimony which usually charac-
terizes such debates was almost entire
ly absent, but, although good natured,
some hard knocks were given and re-
ceived Mr. Smith, the delegate from

lures For Peace.
Havana, via Key West, Jan. 26.-The
news has spread in town like wildfire
that General Blanco has gone to have a
conference with General Maxine Go
mez in order to reach an understanding
with the Cuban commander and estab-
1ish peace on the island. 1t is said here
by the Spanish authorities that this is
an unfounded report, but upon careful
investigation there is no doubt that
there is something serious in the wind.
About a month ago General Blanco
received letter from General Gomez
in which the old veteran invited him to
give peace to Cuba by recognizing its
independence. The letter was very
similar to the one addressed by General
Gomez to General Martinez Campos
when the former invaded the provinces
of the west at the end of 1895 and early
in 1896. Gomez, in his letter to Blanco.
quoted his letter to Martinez Campos
and said that ito such a brute as Wey-
Ter he would never address line, but
that to other Spanish generals he
would repeat that the responsibility of
so much bloodshed in Cuba was upon
Spain on account of her stubborn re-
fusal to recognize Cubas freedom"
The letter also said that autonomy
was and ought to be a failure because
the CuDans desire only Independence.

one In which a Chicago Wholesale grocery
firm obtained n Judgment against Harry
Gibbs. an employe of the hos
pital. and the treasurer decided to fight
the case when the punishment papers
were served. The attorney for the hi
cago firm commended that the trustees
were not a municipal corporations: that a
punishment proceeding was a suit. and
that the statute Is broad enough to per-
init garnishment proceedings to be
brought against them or their treasurer.
Attorney Campbell for the state pleaded
that the board was a municipal corpora-
ton and its officers exercised functions
and that the capacity TO be pursued as
conferred by the statute upon public cor

to be Earnisheed. He further contends
that the board Is a part Of the govern

from punishment. The Judge sustained
the latter contention.
