Big STRIKE IMPENDING
Representatives Of Textile I'm.
ions Favor a General Walk
out in New England.
II Local Bodies Endorse tho
Move All Cotton Mills Will
Be Forced to Close. ~
Meeting Held at the SUCCESS
ton of President Gompers
Of the Federation.

BOSTON, Feb. l5.-At meeting in
this city of SIS repres entatives of tex
tile unions in New England, it was
unanimously voted to recommend that
all unions call out III operatives in
every cotton mill in New England.
The meeting was practically the out
come Of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the FEEDER.
alton of Labor last Sunday in which he
urged the different unions to unite on
some settled policy regarding the mill
situation in New England. At that
meeting committee of three was ap.
pointed to take charge of the matter
and after conference this committee
recommended that gen eral meeting
be held to take definite action. AS
result the representatives of the various
national textile associations assembled
in the Wells Memorial hall and for four
hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. At length the mat
ter was put to vote, no one being
registered againstthe motion that the
different unions
Should Order a General Strike
in every cotton mill in New England
until satisfactory adjustment of wages
could be arranged. 1t now remains
Tor the various national unions to take
action upon the recommendation, but
what this action will be is a matter OF
conjecture. If all should acquiesce and
vote to strike, $4,000 operatives would
undoubtedly cease work, and the man
utacture OF cotton goods throughout
New England would be at a standstill.
II, on the other hand, only a few
unions should vote to strike, the re.
fusal of the others would keep a large
portion Of the mills in operation.
lnasmuch, however. as the meeting
was the outcome of President Gompers'
suggestions, and as he admonished the
members of the Federation of Labor to
join hands and assist the New Bedford
strikers, it seems probable that nearly
every union will carry out the recon.
mendations, and that one of the great
est strikes ever seen in this country is
impending.

the ground that it was in contravention

OFFICIALS ARE KETICEN

Will Not Discuss the Contents of the
Woodford Note.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The 3O0.word
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford was translated at the state
department during the day, but no in
timation of it's import could be secured
from official sources. Assistant Secre-
tary of State Day, who has been en-.
trusted with the whole correspondence
by the president, refused to discuss the
message. He said merely that there
was no new development in the case
which could properly be made public
at this time. In one instance he sup
plemented this statement by the re-
mark that the mere fact of information
being withheld is not to be taken as d
serious indication. Every effort to sup.
plement Secretary Days statement
with some information from the White
House failed. To urgent appeals for
something definite the president
Replied Through Secretary Porter
that the whole matter was in Secretary
Days hands and that the president re.
lied on him to handle the information
for the press.
It was stated at the White House,
however, that there was no truth in the
rumor of a censure upon Minister
Woodford for allowing Dupuy de LONE
to forestall him in presenting the .ap-
plication for the minister's recall
Minister Woodford's course; it was
stated, had been entirely satisfactory
and any criticism at this time was un.
founded and unfair
1t could not be ascertained positively
whether or not an answer to Minister
Woodford's last dispatch has been sent.
1t is almost certain, however, that a
reply has been drafted and that it was
put in cipher at the state department
during the evening"

ears, eyes, mouths and noses. Before these
ct regular intervals Klemmer bows and
worships. He declared to the police that
some of these idols had been stolen and he
wanted them to catch the thieves and re-
store them to him. The building contained
several hundred images, all made by Klein
mer He is a tirst-class mason. 1t is not
thought that the idols were stolen, but that
Klemmer was becoming too Jealous in wor-
ship and they were removed on that account
by some of his friends. A few years ago he
lost money on some building operations,
which troubled and worried him. He then
began making the images Many were
stored in loft. To reac hthe idol gallery
he used a narrow ladder and when up
among the images he pulled the ladder up
after him, so as not to be disturbed. The
neighbors say strange noises are heard about
the premises, epecally on stormy nights.
Klemmer says he would not part with his
idols for any sum of money. He will keep
on worshipping them, as they carry his
mind to things of a sacred character. One
of his idols represents Jonah as he was
thrown from the whale. Another is an
image of the grzzled head Of Goliath The
prettiest he has is that of Esther. Another
he calls Naomi. a dead man is Lazarus.
When this idol is stood up on a pedestal 1t
is raised from the dead. Two of the largest
specimens are hideous and look like copies
of Chinese joss house ornaments.z<New

To Reduce Salaries

POMONA, Dec AT a recent meeting
of the Pomona Farmers club it was decided
to distribute the following petitions for the
reduction of salaries of state and county Of
iicers among all the farmers clubs in South
ern California:
Whereas, the Farmers clubs of Claremont
and Pomona, California, in Joint session as
sembled, on September 2S, 1893, resolved
that some of the salaries paid to state and
county officers are not in proportion to sal
aries paid individuals holding positions in
lines OF general business for like services;
and
Whereas, we believe it would be for the
best interests of all citizens of the state of
California that said salaries should be so
regulated by the legislature at its next ses-
sion that they will conform to salaries paid
to persons holding positions other than po-
ltical.
Now, therefore, we, the members of the
Pomona Farmers club and citizens of Po-
mona and vicinity, hereby petition the as
sembly and senate of the state of California
soon to assemble, that they shall adopt such
a schedule of salaries as shall be Just and
equitable, and that all fees shall be paid un-
der oath OF the official receiving them into
the state or county treasury as the case may
be, In turtherance OF this object we hereby
request that all the farmers clubs of Cali
fornia, and all kindred organizations and all
citizens who are interested in this measure,
join III TINS petition. Respectfully,

Secretary of Pomona Farmers club

Madrid Indecision

MADRID, Dec 4.-The government has
not reached full decision regarding the
Cuban Philippine debts, but the Official Ga
zette today publishes an announcement that
the drawing for the redemption of the Gu.
ban bonds will occur on December 10th.
Speculation in the Cuban and Philippine
debts on the bo,lrse has seriously displeased
the cabinet. The rise in those securities
is attributed TO the report that the govern
ment will devote the indemnity received
from the United States to the colonial in
debtedness, regarding which no decisive
steps have been taken by the minister,
An official dispatch from the Visayas
islands, i'll the Philippines, announces the

"The rebels have their guns trained on the
city, and fire on our troops nightly. Our
troops maintain a spirited fire, and have
killed number of the enemy"
