IN BLACKSTONE VALLEY.
The Mill Hands are Vigorously Protesting
 Against the Seductons.

Pawtuclket, R. l., Jan. 15.-In the Black stone valley next Monday 1000 mill op- eratives will begin work at reduced wages.
 The reduction is announced as from 10 to 11A per cent. The operatives e=s that in some instances the reduction is more than announced. The mill hands are viz orously protesting but they have thus far decided to continue at work, chiefly on the ground that it is a very bad time of the year for strike and because it is expected they can fight the battle out in Esw Bed ford. The largest mills are those of the I.onslale company at Lonsdale and Ashton, employing 5000 hands in four mills The only ones to escape the reduction are the employees of the bleachery. The Berkeley company in reality a part of the Lonsdale company, employs about 75O hands.
 The Manville company at Manville, em- ploys about 1,S0O or 1000 operatives This is the only industry in a village of f,5OO peo- ple The majority of the operatives are French Canadians.
 The Valley Falls company, at Albion, now employs about 450 hands and the AL bion company at Valley Falls employs about 700 hands.
 There has been no reduction in the price list of the United States Cotton company, at Central Falls, but it is known that any variance between what Is now paid and the new Fall River price list will be met by this company.
 In this city the 800 employees of the Slater company will suffer a reduction of 10 per cent For the present, at least, no troubles are expected.
 A meeting of the frame spinners of the Lonsdale company and the Berkeley com pany was held at Lonsdale today. The spinners voted without reserve to pay the extra assessment for the support of the New Bedford operatives.
 State Secretary Fallon received a letter today from Superintendent Bracket of the Valley Queens, Royal and Arctic mills. in the Pawtucket valley, which stated that the reduction of wages in the mule rooms of those mills would be per cent, 81s per cent. and between 5 and 6 per cent, re- spectively. These mills employ more than 2,00O operatives.

Manchester Jan. 15.-Interest in the en- gineers' strike has shifted to the attitude of the employers. They are disposed to stand out for a complete victory and say the withdrawal of the demand for forty eght hours work per week does not end the difference. They stiM insist upon com plete control of their works and will effect a reconciliation only on the terms outlined at the last conference.

Biddeford, Me, Jan 15.-At a meeting of the web drawers, warpers and shoppers of the Laconia corporation tonight, it was voted to strike next Monday if the notices announcing a reduction of wages were not taken down.

Every minute since the destruction
of the Maine has been precious to
those who were preparing for war. The
CRY in congress, and out of congress
for years has been that the United
States was absolutely unprepared for
war both as to its navy and coast de-
fenses and those familiar with the sit
pation recognize the wisdom of the
pre- sident's course in refusing to &C
cede to the demand for instant action
un til such steps could be taken as to
pat the government and the country

A STARTLING REVELATION.

The peaceloving world may never
know how much it owes to President
Mckinley. Whether our destiny is to
have peace OF war, the conduct of Pres
ident Mckinley stands above %reproach.
On the very verge of war, with all it's
horrors. Ell .ts possibilities to destruc-
Sion of life and happiness, not to speak
ofproperty~ interests, the nation calmly
pursued its accustomed way, trans
acted its business by day and slept
peace fully at night. Upon the Shout
ders Of the chief executive rested the
gravesl, sofsalls responsibilities and the
nation y lhssted him to carry it safely.

cries for hasty action, bul-
all the tumult the president stoodgo
rene.
He stilled the storm by the persua-
sive power of his own personal plead
ing. He realized what the country had,
strangely enough, not comprchended,
that we were drifting into a conflict
with a nation that was on a wa foot
ing. He knew that we were totally un-
prepared for war. Munitions, ships,
stores, supplies of vast amount and in
finite variety. were absolutely required
before q step could be taken. Harbor
defenses. a closer connection between
exposed points, and the installment of
modern armameIts-athousand things,
had to be done, ard done at once.
Modern guns required supplies of mod
ern ammunition, of which there was
scarcely any to be obtained on this
side of the water. This was the situa-
ton as the president, the heads of the
army and the navy, and the cabinet
saw it, and it was left discreetly undis-
closed to the world.
The first need was for funds and;un-
der the persuasive influence Of the
president, congress, practically by
a unanimous vote, quickly and quietly
intrusted to his personal expenditure
the enormous sum of s5O,OOO,OOO. Like
magic the defenses of the country
grew stronger. Gunboats, naval and
army supplies, torpedoes, great engines
of war, became available and in the
twinkling of IN eye we were changed
from a peace to a war footing. The
frightful consequences of the opening
of hostilities before we we're prepared
to meet the enemy need not be dwelt
upon. We IA leave that to the imag-
ination. What might have happened
if Spain had realized our helplessness
three months ago can also be left to
