SPINNERs MEETING.

The union mule spinners em ployed in B.
.. * Il. knights Pawtuxet Valley mills
and severa. from the other mills i'm the
valley held secret meeting at Natick
inst evening. Several labor leaders
from PawtucKat and other msnufactur-
ing places were present and addressed the
operatives on the present mill situation,
10th from the manufacturers and opera
tivss' point Of view. Ire meeting was q
very harmonious one and the general
opinion was not favorable to a strike in
the valley. The Speakers urged tho
spinnefs to aid the strikers st New Bed
ford and argued that nothing would bs
gained by n strike Mt present A Dumbar
of the spinDers were admitted to the
union and all paid their dues and sub
scrited literally to the strikers at New
Bedford.
At the other mills in the valley every
thing is quiet and there is no Indication
of trouble. although the operatives ara
watching the situation closely and it
would not require much jncendia,y talk
to cause trouble among the more III iscon-
tented ones
The committee appointed by the
strikers waited on Superintendent Allen
today for the purpose OF ascartsining
whether or not he would consent TO re-
woke the notice of reduction MIR. A lien
said he had nothing to do in the matter
and eHken the committee il the operatives
were not aware that cut down was TO
be- made in all the valley mills. The re-
ply was In the negative.
After the committee withdrew 10 was
stated thnt the weavers Lad been in-
formed that if the strikers did not return
tn work tomorrow morning tho entire
mill would be shut down.

The spinners claimed that they were
not being paid in proportion to what
operatives employed in other mills were
receiving, and that the cut had been
much heavier than they had been lcd to
expect.
Superintendent Allen stated this
morning that the strikers We're still out
ana he did rot know when they were
coming In. AS far as he was concerned
there would be no compromises or change
in .the cut. Mr.. II. Byron Treat, the
owner of the mill. who is at present in

change in the situation.

operatives at the Crompton mills intend

lean soil, and thus was frustrated that
attempt to destroy North American
republic. 1t was a notable instance of
returning good for evil--a characteristic
that as a nation we consider necessary
for which the people south of the Rio
Crande have since exhibited their ap-
probation.
If history bears any lesson to us, It 10
that we must not expect gratitude. but
rather a sullen animosity. from those
whom we have assisted In their hour Of
need, as there seems to be an organic,
inherent antagonism between the An
glo-Saxon and the Latin races that
neither time nor place nor the debt OF
gratitude will ever allay. Experience
teaches us also that IL government. a
country or a province in our environ
ment is too weak to Withstand the
predatory attacks of a hostile nation
without just cause of offense the condi-
ton can only be remedied by taking
that people under our care and en-
blazoning a new star on the flag.
AS an independent country Cuba may
possibly be subjected to an attempt at
reconquest on the part OF Spain. Our
necessary action would then be per-
fectIy clear and determined. and there
could not be any method Of evasion by
which we would shrink from an un-
pleasant duty. The Monroe doctrine
gathers strength as the years roll by.
But the complications of the future
are in reality more portcntous and
threatening 20 us as nation than this
present conflict with a body of ineffi-
cient, vicious soidiery. Just what the
effect of our noble work OF liberation of
an oppressed people will be, however,
time alone can determine.

munications must cease. as the result
of a state or war;" the steps taken
must be limited to measures strictly
necessary to prevent the use of the ca
BILE and that an end should be put to
these measures and that the conse-
quences should be repaired as soon as
the cessation OF hostilities permit" and
that "a submarine telegraph cable
which unites two neutral governments
is .nviolable." This seems to be rea-
sonable view of the matter. and IL
should commend itself to all civilized
powers unhappily engaged in war.
1t has been argued. furthermore. that
I'm most cases the closing of cable
terminus within the actual Jurisdiction
OF the belligerent would satisfy the bell
ligerent right, IL 1t Is to be admitted "a
right, and that the destruction OF ca
bles even between enemies countries
would therefore not be justifiable as q
war measure. Advanced publicists have
even insisted that belligerent has no
right over a cable connecting the terri-
tory of his adversary with neutral ter
ritory except in case of blockade. To
what extent the principles above ad-
yocate6 would be respected by war
making power is extremely uncertain.
and the necessity Of cutting on an cn-
emy's means OF communication might
be appealed 20 in justification even OF
the destruction of cable between neu-
trail territories.
THE only really effective safeguard
would De the absolute naturalization OF
ocean cables, but that Is a principle to
the strict observance of which few pow
crs would care to bind themselves.

How Mines Are Destroyed.

There are several ways I'm which subs
marine mines guarding an enemy's har-
Dor are destroyed by a fleet intending
TO make an entrance.
One method Is by catching the eiec-
trio cables running TO the mines by
"creeping." as It is termed. This 10 done
by towing two grapnels. one containing
an explosive charge of gun cotton. and
the other. a simple grapnel. coming Oh
behind at distance OF 80 or ~ fccs.
The explosive grapnei first picks up tho
cable. and when n tug Is felt ON 'he i'na
the charge is electrically exploded from
the vessel.
AS this may not completely sever rs
cable. the other grapnel Is used To- PICK
mn the frayed line. and the whole tlr;
,s dragged into the boat and severed or
underrun till a junction box to several
mines is reached. VIXEN the whole lot "a

Jimmie Michael intends TO ,1se mo-

of them think that racing and eXii1i-
ton riding is getting more mechanical
every year. ' ..' ..
Dealers are crying that unless prices
advance the industry of bicycle maxi
ing will disappear from America. That
is an astonishing view to take Of the
situation. The cheapness of bicycles
makes them easier to be had, and OF
course more will be bought. How,
then. can they become less plentiful or
popular? .....
AZ New York investigator has discov-
cred that cycling makes girl pigeon

have, that effect. The tendency Of men
and women alike is to toe in whiic push
ing the pedals, and it looks well enough
on the wheel; but when off the wheel the
rider is almost sure, to have a slouchy
gait that is anything'but graceful.

bad habit OF passing carriages and othC'
