DINGLEY ON THE STRIKE.
Says Trouble is Caused by Too Good a
Cotton Crop.

Washington, Jan. 21.-In the House
yesterday, Mr.. Dingley (F2ep. Me.) took
the floor to reply to remarks made dur
ing the course of debate relative to the
wage reductions in the cotton industry.
After such a reVulsion of business as
the country has experienced during
three years, it was natural, he said,
that recuperatiOn was slow. In all but
one industry (the cotton Industry i'm
prOVement was noted and wages had
been advanced Along side of the 10
per cent reduction of wages in the cot
ton industry had come an increase
greater than that in the worsted indus
try. He admitted, he said. that the
depression in the cotton industry was
unfortunate, but the cause was excep-
tiOnal.
1t was due to the sudden and unex-
pected decline in the price of cotton
In three months the price had declined
so per cent, because the southern plant
ers insisted on growing two million
bales more cotton than the world
wanted.
Almost every cotton factory in New
England had been caught with from six
to eight months supply of Scent man
ufactured cotton on their hands In ad-
dition to this, he pointed out the effect
of the competition that had grown up
in the south, where long hours and
lower wages were the vogue Even
tuaIIy the south would come up to the
northern standard, but temporarily
present conditions gave the south the
advantage. Protective tariffs could af-
feet nothing. If the hours of labor in
the several states We're not equaized,
Mr.. Dingley declared that the labor or
CARNATIONS would compel an amend
ment to the constitution which would
permit congress to equaIize hours all
over the country.
Mr.. DingIey had great deal of cross
firing with the southern members. The
Cuban question was temporarily lost
sight of, and for more than an hour
tariff was talked to the exclusion of
everything else. Mr.. Dfngley said those
who were still "chattering' about the
lack. of revenues under the new tariff
law had better be prompt about it.
For your opportunity to chatter will
soon be over" said he. Yesterday our
receipts from customs were $3.50, 900.
The receipts themselves will soon 81

IN A VIRGINIA CAVE.
Rooms Found Glistening With Sta
lactites and Stalagmites.

Parkersburg, w. Va, an. 21.-The
cave discovered but not explored sew
eral years ago on a farm owned by
Judge Holt in Monroe county was ex-
plored by a party of thoroughly relia-
BILE gentlemen a few days ago.
The entrance to the cave was a man
hole or burroW barely large enough to
admit the entrance of a man on his
hands and knees. This entrance ran
back 10 or Is yards, when it grew to a
height and width sufficient to allow the
explorers room to stand and walk
erect. On either side of the entrance
many large and beautiful rooms were
found with exits. which were unex-
plored. The cave was of lime forma-
ton, like all caves in Virginia and Ken
lucky. The explorers Travelled a dis
tance which was computed by them to
be more than five miles, but they failed
to find the end of the cave. Rooms,
gIistening with stalactites and stalag-
mites, were found and passed through,
many of them being of great beauty.
Many odd and peculiar forms were as
sumed by the rooms, one being almost
perfectly in the shape of a palace car.
The exploration was, of course, a hur-
ried one, but the length and size of
the cave shows it to be one of the larg
est, if not the largest, in America.

WARONPATENT MEDICINES
Physicians of Paterson, N. J., Unite
and Start q Drug Store.

New York, Jan. 21.-The physicians
of Paterson, N. J., are determined to
defeat patent medicines at any cost.
They viii have to sacrifice the drug
gists at same time, for they will form
an organization which will not only
prescribe the cure, but fill the drug pre-
scription.
Today it was announced that the or
ganization was complete, and that
there was not a physician of import
ance who would not lend his financial
aid to a doctors drug store
Being financially interested. these
physicians will also lend their influence,
and in the future all medicines which
are prescribed by Paterson physicians
will have to be bought in the doctors
drug store.

selves equal to the solution Of these prob
lens.
Looking at the future in the light of
the past, it would seem worse than folly
70 offer prediction. If man had said
twenty-five years ago that the farmer of
today would load hay with loader, stack
straw with the wind, pillow corn with a
sulky, dig potatoes with a machine tele-
phone his neighbor on a barb wire, or
have free mail delivery, the man who
predicted it would have been considered
a fit subject for any asylum; so, in view
of this fact, do not feel justified in Of
fering a prediction for the future, further
than that, whatever the mind of man
may bring forth for the betternent of
the human race, Kansas will be the first
to adopt it and enjoy its FRUITS

FOR BOSTON'S DEFENSES.
The Government Buys 50 Acres on
Gushing Hill and Battery Heights.


Gushing Hill and Battery Heights.
Boston Jan. 21-The United States
government has bought about sixty
three acres of land in Hull, on the sum-
nit of Gushing Hill and Battery
Heights. It is the intention to erect
there a battery of heavy guns for coast
defense. Peddocks Island, near by,
has also been purchased for the same
purpose, and when these three points
are fully fortified the guns will COM
mand every approach to Boston harbor
and most of Massachusetts bay from
Point AllertOn to Cape Ann. The total
cost of the land will be over $3.50, O00
Twenty-Five years ago it was worth
about so, 900, but now the slopes of
these hills are dotted with costly sum-
mer residences.
1t is said to be the intention of the
government to begin work on the for
tifications at Stony beach, near the
base of telegraph hill. The natural
Battery heights for fortifcations were
recognized even by the earliest colo
nists. A earth fort was built on the
former promotory in the seventeenth
century, and in the revolution breast
works of earth, which still remain
almost intact were thrown up by the
soldiers of companies made up from
neighbOring towns. Breastworks that
were thrown up at the same time on
Battery Heights also still remain, hence
the name.
The tower-like edifice on Telegraph
Hill, used as signal station and tel
egraph office, and which has been a
landmark for two or three generations
of mariners. will be replaced by a new
building The deep well on the summit
dug by WashingtOn'S troops, proba-
bly, will be preserved. Several hundred
feet of the Nantasket beach th1rd-ra1i

ment tract, but will be exempt from

Berlin, Jan. 21-The Home Offices es-

Reichstag during the last two days on
socialism, the speakers expressing
opinions in accordance with the views

of socialism, which, he asserted would
never attain its end in Germany, where
the nonarchicaI and dynasty sentiment
is deeply rooted, if the bOurgeoise unit

exercise a conciliatory influence upon
the economic struggle, stand fast
against the storm flood of social De-

Trade is Unprecedented.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-During the

aggregate more than four million feet
of lumber have passed in through the
Golden Gate. This arrival of so many
lumber laden vessels is due wholly to
the unprecedented demand for tonnage
to engage in the Alaskan trade. The ar

tent, a situation in the lumber market
created by the same demand that will
