The delegates attending the convention
OF the National Spinners' union that the
New Bedford spinners should not re-
turn to work Monday. even II the man
ufacturers opened their mills.
The question for providing for ring
frame spinners was discussed at con-
siderable length. and it, was decided
that Il would be unnecessary 10 tax the
mule spinners at this time, as they have
ample funds to sustain the striking
spinners OF all classes for many months.

given power 10 levy an assessment IL
1t should become necessary to raise any
more money. Each district under the
jurisdiction Of the union was instructed
90 look after the ring spinners.
The manufacturers proposition to cur
tail the production OF their mills was
discussed at length. The spinners de-
clared that the reduction OF wages as
means OF relieving the market had
proven failure. and they adopted reso-
lutions indorsing the proposition to cur
tail the output OF the mills by reducing
the running time.

nell were instructed to confer with the
executive officers OF the American Fed

PEGRAM WAS UNGRATEFUL.
Given Christmas Liberty, Wants to
Spend His ldr Earnings.

One of the lawbreakers before Justice
John in the Police Court yesterday morn
ing was u. B. Pegram, whom the great
law executor had Just two days before
turned out of jail as a Christmas gift to
him.
When the case was called Justice John
went into a very eloquent soliloquy on
the ingratitude Of the human kind, resur-
recting from the deep recesses of his. mind
something about "1ngratitude more
strong than traitors arms quite van
pushed him."
Pegram was charged with getting drunk
and threatening the lives of mis- wife and
children, was sent back to Jail for ninety
days. The story goes that as soon as he
was free from the sustaining influences
Of Sergeant Epps he went TO the Cedar
Works and tried to draw his children's
money TO spend at Christmas for them.
The children and the mother have to sup
port themselves by their earnings, While
the city supports Pegram.
John T. Byrne was charged with being
a vagrant and was required TO give secu-
rity In 800 for six months.
Walter Johnson was disorderly in the
street, and was charged 5000.
Ed. Branch, W. Daughtry, Henry Hill
ton. Willie Waddell, and Daniel Giles,
all negroes, were up for raising a row at
Gilmer and Leigh street, but the hearing
went over until the 29th. There was a
good deal of shooting done, and the Off
GERS wanted 10 learn just who did 1t.

perform all the functions OF Clerk 10
the board. and the other should DE a
practical man, whose duties would be In
the direction OF the supervision OF school

NEW YORK. December 8-The pre-

Commission. consisting Of General Haines,
Admiral Walker. and Professor Haupt,
has been completed, and will be read be-
fore the Senate Committee either during
the Christmas recess of Congress or i'm
mediately afterward.
This report will give many details Of
construction In regard to the proposed
QUITE. and will give a pretty close figure
on the entire cost of the undertaking, as
far as human ingenuity can foresee.
The commissioners say that Sl35, Coo 600
will be a conservative estimate of the
entire cost Of the canal, and this almost
agrees with that of Major-General Will

BOTKIN TRIAL ENDING.
Cross-Examination Brings out I'm
Dortant Fnct Against Accused.


SAN FRANCISCO. December 23.-The
trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin is nearing
its end The defence concluded its case
to-day with the testimony of the accused
woman. Mrs. Botkin made specific de-
mails Of almost all the charges brought
against her. She c~ontradicted the testi-
mony of almost every witness that has
appeared for the prosecution, and her de-
malls generally were on the most i'm
portant points in the case. She swore
that she did not buy the candy sent Mrs.
Dunning or the handkerchief which was
enclosed for Mrs. Cummings little girl. She
admitted association with John p. Dun
ming, and stated to the jury that she had
tried 10 prevail upon him many times 10
return TO his family. Cross-eXamination
brought out at least one very important
fact against the accused. She admitted
being at the Ferry depot on the day that
the poisoned candy was mailed at the
Ferry Depot post-ofice. Three other i'm
POrtant witnesses were introduced by the
defence. The court then adjourned until
Tuesday, when the prosecution will pre-
sent testimony in rebuttal.
