GAVE PRINCE A DINNER.

Washington, March 11.-Prince Albert
of Belgium was given dinner by the
President at the executive mansion to-
night in honor of his visit to the Capitol.
This dinner began at O'Clock and was
served in the main corridor, the state
dining room being too small to accom-
modate those who were invited to meet
the heir presumptive to the Belgium
throne. The corridor was adorned with
orchids and La France roses, the pre-
dominating colors being red and white.
Music was furnished by the Marine band,
which was stationed in the conservatory.
Draperies in which vari-colored tncan-
descent electric lamps had been set by
the White House electrician, added great
ly to the beautiful effect. The Prince
escorted Mrs. Mckinley to the dining
hall, while the President took the arm
of Mrs Hobart, wife of the Vice-Presi-
dent. Before the dinner the President
met the invited guests in the east room
which was handsomely decorated with
rare plants in which q musicale was
given after the dinner was over. About
80 persons were present, including besides
those above named, Vice-President Ho-
bart, the members of the cabinet and
ladies, members of the diplomatic corps
and ladies, Secretary Porter, Hon. Levi
Pr Morton, Senators Allison, Burrows,
and Hanna, Representatives Hit, Ben
nett Bingham, Adams, Adair, Matthew's

Abner Mckinley. Miss Pauncefote, Miss

MAY BIZ OUT ALL SUMNER
Diseouraging Outlook For York Mill
Strike In Saco.
AGENT PAGE UNA BILE TO PROMISE
OPERATIVES ANYTHING.

Told Committee That He Would Raise
Wages When Condition of the Mar ket
Would Permit It-Operatives Vote to
Continue the Fight.
Saco, March 11.-An attempt was made
by Samuel L. Lord, and the Saco boaro
OF trade todayNto settle the strike in tne
York cotton mills, but it resulted in
failure and the indications nowspoint to q
continuation of the strike.
A long conference between the agent
and commission was held at the counting
room this forenoon and the report OF the
interview was made at Marble hall this
afternoon where the York mill operatives
had gathered. Secretary King MADE
an address, in which he said that Agent
Page has told - them THAT while he would
like to restore their wages to the old
schedule, he would be unable to make
any promises at spresent .butswould raise
their wages; when the condition Of the
market warranted. He had also informed
them that the situation looked bad and
he would not think of opening the gates
until the operatives were ready to go
back. In regard to running the mills
this summer, Agent Page told them that
1t might be necessary to close the mills
a few months, as curtailment in pro-
duction had already been advocated by
New England mills. After the report had
been given speeches were made BY opera
tiyes and all said they were in favor OF
continuing the strike till wages were
restored.
A vote was then taken resulting in
favor of continuing the strike.
Business men are despondent tonight
and fear that the operatives will remain
out all summer
