The uneasinsss among the operatives In

this morning In strike OF the weavers
at the Lapham mills ut Centreville.
Some time ago the operatives were In
formed that out Of ten per cent would
be made In the wages OH January "A. and
although the employees were very much
dissatisfied with the cut they realized
that il wonld be better to work for small
pay than strike Ia the middle Of winter.
when some certainly would suffer Sc
vsrely.
Yesterday afternoon the boss weavers
were instructed to tell their second hands
and loom iixers To inform the help that
the reduction In thair pay would be six
cents per cut on the 62-pck goods for
which they had been paid 81 cents and
four cents q cut on the 64-ptck goods. for
which they had also been receiving 32
cents. The reduction was much more
than the operatives had been led to ex-
pect, and consequently they were for o
time entirely unable to decide what they
would do. During the afternoon some
of the representatives Of the strikers OF
the New Bedford mills succeeded In oh
tanning an interview with the weavers.
and as the result when they left the mill
last night strike was practically decided
upon.

MILLIONAIRE INSANE.
jesse HOyt Locked Up in the AIcO-
hOIic Ward of Bellevue Hospital.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--The Press says:
"Jesse Hoyt millionaire and agent of the
vast Hoyt estate, was removed from his
home, on West Seventy-third street, last
night and locked up in the alcoholic ward
of Bellevue Hospital. He was entered on
the records as insane and put in the al
coholic ward of the insane pavilion. Jesse
Hoyt is a member of the old family of
Hoyts, which has been prominent in this
city for the last four generations. The
family millions were made in the Northwest,
some of Mr.. Hoyt's ancestors having been
the builders and owners of the Flint &s Per-
Marquette Railroad, the Winona q st
Peter Railroad, a part of the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Milwaukee & North
ern. On the death Of Jesse Hoyt, the father
of the present Hoyt of that name, a few
years ago, there was a bitter will contest.
Jesse Hoyt, the son, was successful, and
succeeded in establishing his claim to the
bulk of the estate. Mrs. Hoyt said that her
husband recently had been drinking heavily
and became so violent last night that he
threatened her life and that of her chill

oANcELING OF CONCESSIONS.
Question That Is Worrying Officials
of the Mar Denarfment.

WASHINGTON Dec. 2S-General Henry,
commanding the United States forces in
Porto Rico, mas not communicated to the
War Department as yet respecting the can
collation. of concessions granted by the Span
ism officials in the islands among the last
acts of the outgoing administration. This
old subject of concessions has given the
War Department deep concern, it being
plainly apparent that the inhabitants Of both
Cuba and Porto Rico were exposed to the
plundering of INSCRIPTIONS capitalists and
the future of the islands jeopardized by the
tying up of their resources through the
concessions. While the conditions of Porto
Rico are bad they are almost insignificant
in comparison with those existing in Ha-
vana. The War Department has not yet
adopted rule for the settlement of these
concessions. 1t is realized that there must
be some limit to the power of the govern
ment in cancelng them, the line must be
drawn at some period, and concessions on
Cne side or the other must be held good
or bad. The present disposition is to draw
that line at the date of the signature of the
protocol, Aug. 70, 1895, on the theory that by
that action the United States government
gave notice to the world OF its intentions in
the matter of the Spanish West Indies.
SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. Dec. 2S-
General Guy V. Henry, governor of the
military department of Porto Rico, has with
drawn the order recently issued by him re-
volxing all the concessions and franchises
granted by the Spanish authorities before
the surrender of the island to the United
States. The intention of the original order
of revocation was to deprive Spanish fran
chise holders of the advantage given them
over Americans. The order supplemented
recent orders from the War Department.
It's cancellation by General Henry is on ac-
count of the legal issues raised. There is no
foundation whatever for any charges that
the United States authorities have inter-
fered or are interfering with religion in
Porto Rico. All General Henry would do is
TO prohibit the inflammatory utterances of
the Snanish priests

derbiIt, Jr., to Wed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: THE engagement of Miss

She was educated in the convent of the Sa-
cred Heart at San Francisco and later trav-
eled abroad extensively. She came TO New
York soon after the marriage of her sister
to Mr. Oelrichs, and with her mother passed
a good deal of her time with Mr.. and Mrs.
OeIrichs both here and in Newport. Miss
Fair was an intimate friend of her fiances
sister Consuelo, now the Duchess of Marl-
borough.
william K. Vanderbilt, jr., is younger
than his sister, the Duchess of Marlborough,
by year or two being about twenty years
old. He is still very youthful in appearance,
but has the strong characteristics of ~
Vanderbilt family, resembling to marked
degree his cousins, the sons of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. He has particularly identified
himself with yachting in Newport, entering
in many of the smaller races, in one of
which he nearly lost his life in Newport
waters. For the last two summers, with his
brother Harold, young Vanderbilt has been
at Marble House, his mothers Newport
property While not possessed of a fortune,
his prospective wealth is, of course, very
great, his fathers wealth being constantly
on the increase Mr.. Vanderbilt, sr., has ar
ranged a small house party in honor of his
son and Miss Fair, who will go with him to
his country place at Islip, L. L., on Saturday
to remain over Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Clar-
ence Mackey are to be of the party Mrs.

THE ANTI-ANARcHrsr CRUSADE.
international Bureau OF Police 10 BE
Established NJ BerIsn.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A dispatch to the
World from Rome says: 1.-The World corre-
spondent has secured from a delegate the
result of the anti-Anarchist conference re-
Gently held here, whose proceedings had
previously been kept secret.
"First-An international bureau Of police
for the surveillance of Anarchists is to be
established at Berlin, consisting of nine
members-German, Austrian, French, En-
glish. Italian, Russian Swiss, Belgian and
Dutch. This bureau will correspond direct
with all the police of Europe, and will be
represented by special agents All the states
represented will contribute equally to the
maintenance of the bureau.
"Second-European governments are to ne
gotiate for extradition treaties governing
Anarchists. Anarchists are defined as all
those who make a public confession of the
Anarchist faith who are found in possession
of Anarchist publications, bombs, letters OF
an anarchistic character and all members
of Anarchist societies. A person convicted
Of an anarchistic crime will be punished ac-
cording to the law of the country where the
crime was committed Anarchists journals
are to be placed under censure their circu-
lation interdicted, their editors, printers and
distributors proceeded against as Anarch-
lists All proceedings against Anarchists are
to be conducted in secret.
''These decisions were accepted by the del"
egates from Germany, Austria, Russia, It
aly, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Den
mark, Montenegro, Servia and Roumania,
but England, France, Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland Luxembourg and Greece rejected
them. 1t is probable that ultimate result of
the conference will be the establishment of
an International police bureau"

NEW PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
MONEY ORDERS TO BE ISSUED AT
NIGHT AT CHIEF POsTOFFICES.
Efforts Of Germans TO Shut Out All
Kinds of American Fruit-Trans-
fer of Army officers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.--Immediately on
the ratification of the peace treaty by the
Senate the President will recommend to
Congress the enactment of legislation look
ing to the settlement of the claims of Amer
ican citizens for damages sustained in Cuba,
Porto Rico and other Spanish possessions
which formed the seat of war These
claj to the amount of $26O00,000 on this
sct ave already been lodged with the
81 apartment. It is true that an un-
k proportion of these are claims based
Oh iepradations committed by Cuban insur-
gents, for which it is questionable whethep
the Spanish government could be held re-
sponsible. On the other hand, it is believed
there are many claims for large amounts
that have not yet been presented, owing TO
the inability of the claimants to secure the
necessary corroborative evidence during the
Spanish occupation of the evacuated terri
tories, or because of the belief that it would
be fruitless TO present any claim so long as
Spanish sovereignty was maintained. Now,
however, by an article in the treaty of
Paris, the United States has assumed liabil-
ity for all claims preferred by its citizens
on account of depredations, or, in fact, on
any proper score. In turn, the Spanish as
sumed liability for any claim that might
have been made on account of Spanish citi-
zens or the Spanish government itself
against the United States. What such
claims would have amounted to cannot be
estimated. None was filed with the United
States government prior to the declaration
of war, but it is recalled that there was
much criticism on the part of high Spanish
officials of the alleged failure of the United
States to observe the requirements of the
neutrality laws. and more than one state-
ment to the effect that the Spanish governs
ment intended to present claim for a round
number of millions on that score.
In the inclusion of the treaty of the clause
providing for the mutual assumption OF
debts by both parties, the commissioners
were simply following the lines of the treaty
of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, which terminated
the war between the United States and Mex
leo, although in that case there was linn
itation expressed in terms the amount
of liability to be assumed by the United
States. So far as is known the treaty does
not'specifically provide for the appointment
Of commission to adjust these claims OF
United States citizens, but as that is the
usual method Of adjudication, 1t is presumed
that commission viii be created by authors
ity of an act of Congress. The latter cans
not withhold it's sanction to some such arr
rangements after the ratification of tho
treaty, because the convention Itself binds
the government to the obligation.
