MAY h D GOMPERS.
A HUGE Strike Probable In New
England.
147,ooo LIKELY TO clAsN WORK.
The Labor Leader Urged a General
strike of All Cotton Operatives to Aid
Those Now out-A Recommendation
Followed the Suggestion.

BosTON, Feb. 14.-At a meeting in
this ty Of % representatives of textile
unions in New England it was unam-
mously voted to recommend that all
unions call oat the operatives in every
cotton mill in New England.
The meeting was practically the out
come Of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the Fedora
tiol o. Labor week ago Sunday, in
which he urged the different unions to
unite on some settled policy regarding
the mill situation in New England.
1t now remains for tl23 various ma
ti9aaI unions to take action on the
G. mmendation, but what this action
will be is matter of conjecture. Ii all
should acquiesce and vote to strike,
$4,000 operatives would undoubtedly
ase work and the manufacture of cot
ton goods throughout New England
oald be at standstill. Ii, on the
aer hand, only a few unions should
VI strike, the refusal of the others
" ID still keep large portion Of the
NIL S III operation.
-uasmuch, however, as the meeting
WIS the outcome of President Gompers'
sda gestions, and as heVsldmonished the
members OF the Federation of Labor to
jim ande and assist the New Bedford
strike. 5. it seems probable that nearly
everf union will carry out the recon-
men9aeie rs, and that one of the great
est 8 r4Aes ever seen in this country is
impending.
Many OF the French Canadian opera
tives in places where mills are closed
have gone to Canada, and should some
of the mills decide to start it is thought
it would be difficult to run the depart
ments without engaging new hands.
A new feature in the situation is the
appearance Of Canadian government
colonization agents, who have been sent
with a view of having the French Ca
nadians out Of work settle on unoccupied
lands in the Lake st. John district Of
Quebec. These agents will begin tour
of the mill towns in Southern New Eng
land Immediately. The Canadian and
Quebec governments have undertaken
to aid all settlers.
The existing troubles are causing the
idlen2ss of about Il, 600 persons in New
England

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
will ON Wednesday enter upon the con-
sidelation of the bankruptcy bill, which
the majority of the Judiciary committee
has reported as substitute for the Mel
son bill passed by the senate at the ex
ira session last summer. Under the or
der made the bill is to be debated ON
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of
this week and voted upon ON Monday of
next week at O'Clock
The substitute, which the minority
contend practically is the old Torrey
bill, including both the voluntary and
involuntary features, will be opposed by
united Democratic and Populist opposi-
ton, but il there is no appreciable de
lection from the ranks of the minority
the measure will pass. The Democrats
and Populists are both favorable to the
passage of voluntary bankruptcy bill,
but have always vigorously opposed the
Torrey and other bills including an in
voluntary feature, claiming that it's
purpose is practically to create law for
the collection of debts.

CLERK BETRAYED DE LONE.
He Saw the Letter and Cubans Had 1t
Intercepted.

He Saw the Letter and Cubans Had 1t
Intercepted.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-The Press
prints today what it asserts to be the
true version of the acquisition and pub
LEGATION of the letter from Mr.. De LONE
to Senior Canalejas. The authority cited
for its authenticity is "a Cuban of the
highest standing in the councils of his
party" who receives his information
"from headquarters i'll New York"
De LONE wrote the letter in his pri-
waite residence in Washington, instead
of at the Spanish legation. The paper.
however, was marked with the official
type and read in the corner Legation
de Espana." The same inscription was
upon the lef5 hand upper corner of the
envelope.
Senior De LONE carried it to the lega-
ton to finish it. The letter lay upon
the desk of the minister in his inner
office, the outer office being his place of
reception TO visitors. During an alb
sence of haif an hour from the inner
office of De- LONE clerk saw the open
letter and read some of it,
The next day this same person sent
ington. Word was sent to New York.
Immediately words of warning and
urgings to be ON the alert were sent to
every Cuban who might be in position
to obtail. track of or intercept the much
sought-for missive
The letter reached Havana five DAYS
after its postmark in Washington. An
agent of the Cuban party, who is an
employe of the Spanish postoffice. knew
that the letter was on the way, and
when ii came into his hands it was car
ried from the postoffice and a copy was
made Of it. Word to this effect was
sent to the Cuban leader in Jackson
vile, Fla, who at once asked the secret
Cuban junta in Havana to secure the
original letter-that a copy was not
what was desired.
The Havana postoffice clerk was not
willing to do this at first, but afterward
consented, as he was obliged to account
for certain number of letters to other
employees of the department The orig
lnal was then taken, several blank
sheets were substituted in place of the
paper upon which De LONE had written,
and the letter finally postmarked in the
Havana Office and sent in its routine
way.
Eight days from its arrival in the Ha-
vana office, the sealed envelope, prop
erly addressed to Senior Canalejas, was
delivered at the Hotel Inglaterra.
Senior Canalejas did not regard the mat
ter seriously at the time, although the
hotel boy who brought him the letter
and the postoffice employee who had last
charge OF it were arrested. So also was
the hotel employe who went several
times daily to the postoffice for the
mails. All three Were discharged after
an examination.
Senior Canalejas communicated al
most Immediately with Minister De
LONE and for several weeks letters and
cablegrams passed between the two. but
no trace of the letter could be obtained.
Canalejas shortly thereafter left Ha.
yana, going to Madrid.
