that in 1898 $60,000,0O0 will be spent
in search of gold in the yellow creek,

A plan Is afoot in New York to
build one or more hotels for exclu-
sive use of self-supporting women,
Harper's Weekly says. The PROPOSE
ton is to organize a corporation to be
known as the Woman's Hotel Com
pany, with a capital of one million
dollars, the corporation Is to be form
ed when 100000 is subscribed. Then
land is to be bought, and hotel built
to hold about a thousand boarders.
Plans for such hotel have been
drawn, subject to change and subscrip-
ton papers circulated. People who
know about the self-supportlng women
of New York say that such hotel as
is planned is urgently needed and
would be sure of patronage. Various
authorities submit that there are 1000
art students in town every year, 1000
students Of music, 1000 trained nurses
and medical students, and thousands
of journalists, stenographers, physi-
clans and other business and profess
sional women. 1t Is estimated that
there are 10000 self-supporting women
in this city who could afford to live
at such a hotel as is planned. The
minimum cost OF board and lodging III

The sudden growth of great cities is
the first result of the phenomenon of
immigration which we have to nole,

GREAT STRIKE PENDING
Unions Vote to Call Out All Cot
ton Operatives.
WERE URGED BY GOMPERS
If the Action Is Endorsed Every Mill in
New England Will Be Closed
tional Unions Are Ex-
pected to Act.

Boston. Feb. 13.-At a meeting in this
city of 55 representatives of textile
unions in New England, il was unani
mously voted to recommend that all
unions call out the operatives i'll every
cotton mill in New England.
The resolution was practically the
outcome 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 in the mill stu
alton in New England. Al that meet
ing a committee of four to take charge
of the matter was appointed, and after
d conference this committee recon-
mended that a general meeting be held
TO take definite action. To-day the
representatives of the various national
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint.
The primary object of the meeting
was to devise some method of render
ing assistance to the New Bedford
strikers. 1t was pointed out that If the
strikers at New Bedford could hold
out for four weeks without receiving
more than 20 cents per operative per
week in the way of outside assistance,
other mill operatives could stand "a
similar strain, and that IL all went
out it would precipitate a crisis that
would have to be met with in a short
time by the manufacturers. 1t was
also shown that the mule spinners were
in excellent condition as regards funds:
United Textile Workers and the New
England Federation of WeaverS We're
in good shape. but the rest were short
of funds. The resolutions We're dis
cussed and at length the matter was
put to a vote. no one being registered
against the motion that the different
unions should order a general strike
in every mill until a satisfactory ad-
justment of wages could be arranged.
1t now remains for the various ma
tonal unions to take action in the mat
ter but what this action will be is a
matter of conjecture If all should ac-
quiesce and vote to strike. 147. 900 oper
atives would undoubtedly cease work
and-the manufacture of cotton goods
throughout New England would be at
a standstill. If, on the other hand,
only a few unions should vote to strike,
the refusal of the others would still
keep a large portion of the mills In OPP
Grafton.
Inasmuch, however. as the meeting
was the outcome of President Comp
ers suggestion, and as he admonished
the members of the Federation of La
Dor to join hands and assist the New
Bedford strikers. it seems probable
that nearly every union will carry out
the recommendations, and that one of
the greatest strikes ever seen in this
country is pending.

DEATH OF COUNT KALNOKY
FORMER AUSTRO-HUNGAR MIN
ISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
He Was Descended From Old Bohe-
milan Family and Was Promi-
nent in Public Affairs.

Brunne, Feb. 13.-Count Gustave Ed
mond Kalnoky de koros-Patak former
Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign af-
fairs. died here this afternoon.
Count Kalnoky. who was born at Letto-
witz. Moravia. Dec. !. 1s32, was descended
from the Moravian branch of an old Boz
hemian family. He entered the diplomatic
service of Austria in 1850. From 1850 10
1870 he was counsellor of legation at the
Austrian embassy in London. In 1874 he
was minister at Copenhagen: in 1880 he
was sent as ambassador to ST. Peters
burg. and in 1883 he was appointed Aus
tro-Hungarian minister of foreign at
fairs. a post he held with distinction un-
Til 1895. when ne was succeeded by the
present minister. Count GoIuchowski.
The cause of his resignation was found
in Count kalnoky's action in reference 10
the denunciation of ecclesiastical laws by
the papal nuncio at Vienna Mgr. AgIiardi.
who was charged by Baron Banffy, the
Hungarian prime minister. with having
made statements at Buda Pest which
amounted to interference in hungarian
affairs.
Baron Banffy addressed a note To Count
kalnoky, informing him that an interpret
lation was about 10 be put forward in
the Hungarian parliament concerning the
utteranee of nuncio. which had appeared
III Ait ttuHEdItdIl newspapers 5Ati4
never been diselaimed by their author.
Count kalnoky replied that the nuncio
had displayed taetlessness. overstepped
the limits prescribed for foreign diplo-
matte representatives and that he de-
sired that foreign Office note be sent to
the vatican to complain of his conduct.
He went 80 far as to sketch communi-
cation to the vatican and the Hungarian
premier telegrdphed his approval of il. A
few days after Baron Banffy said In the
Hungarian parliament that the papal
nuneio's acts were not approved in Vi
emma. As soon as this speech was recited
10 Count Kalnoky he telegraphed TO Budaa
Pest that only part of his letter To Baron
Banffy was for public knowledge; that
the rest was confidential and the protest
to the vatican had not been sent. Efforts
were made 10 reconcile the two ministers
but these We're unavailing. The Hungarian
house approved Baron Ranffy's attitude
unreservedly and Count Kalnoky re-
signed.

1T Is CONTRADICTORY.
Two Different Stories Relative to Spain,s
Probable Action.

New York, Feb. 13.-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: A formal
statement of regret at the censure of
Dupuy de Lomes conduct. coupled with
an expression of sincere desire that the
Canalejas letter incident shall not i'm
pair the present friendly relations be-
tween the two countries nor interrupt
the negotiations for a commercial treaty,
will be made by Minister Gullon imme-
diately following the gazetting of the
royal decree accepting De Lome's res
ignation and appointing his successor
as representative at Washington
On the other hand, the Washington
correspondent of the World says that
Spain has not disavowed responsibility
for the utterances of Senior De LONE,
and does not consider that any dis
caimer of that character is necessary
From Spains point of view the incident
is closed, not only as to De Lome's re-
fiections upon the president and the
American people. but as to his declara-
ton that autonomy is a mere mockery
and fraud.
Such is the unsatisfactory informa-
ton contained in the long expected
statement from Mr.. Woodford received
last night.

jointly of his first mass, his election and
coronation.
His holiness was borne to the church
in the Sedia Gastorita and an elaborate
ceremony was observed. The pope
knelt while his chaplain celebrated the
second thanksgiving mass. and then,
seated on the throne, received the lead
ers of the pilgrims. At the conclusion
he pronounced the apostolic benediction
in a strong voice, after which he was
carried from the church with the same
ceremony. His holiness appeared to be
in excellent health.
1t is estimated that no fewer than $1,000
persons We're present, of whom 10000 were
pilgrims. While the pope was being horno
through tho church amid the ringing
tones of silver trumpets. the assembly
was raised to the pitch of excitement al
most reaching delirium. The ceremony
was one of impressive magniticence and
the pope's appearance caused indescriba-
bic enthusiasm on all sides.

LOADED WITH ARMS.
Rumored That n FiIibustering Expedi-
ton Has Left Bridgeport.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
World from Bridgeport, Conn, says:
The local collector of customs at this
port has received advices from Wash
ington to the effect that tug with
three barges has just started from

PERSONAL AND MALICIOUS.
An Answer Made to the Charges of
Bribery and Fraud in the Ar
kansas Church Election.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 13.-The an
swer of the secretary and the notifica-
tion committee of the special council,
diocese of Arkansas. to the protest
against the resignation of Archdeacon
William Montgomery Brown of Ohio,
archbishop coadjutor to the diocese of
Arkansas, has been made public 1t
says:
In answering the protest Of MIR.
Whipple and others. we do not think
1t necessary to reply in detail to their
statements and allegations. We are
satisfied that those whose duty it be-
comes to pass upon 1t Will readily see
from the documents and the document
itself the spirit that dictates it. Its
character is such that no churchman.
in our opinion. will for moment give
1t such consideration as would cast on
the diocese of Arkansas the stigma
therein. 1t is plain to be seen that the
paper emanated entirely from few in
dtviduals. acting in an individual ca
pacity No churchman, actuated by the
proper spirit and who has the good of
the church at heart could be so mali
ciously inclined as to use the language
therein contained toward the bishop Of
Arkansas and his fellow Christians,
clergy and laity of the diocese
The answer asserts that the election
was in a regular and canonicai man
ner and meets the statements in the
against Dean Hobbs of Trinity cathe-
dral. the answer AYERS. We're actuated
by "a manifested personal spite and.
we think uncalled for malicious feeling
against the dean of the cathedral.
In reference to the bishops address
in 1897. in which he advocated the cleo
tion of man of worth as bishop coad-
jutor, it is stated that the bishop en-
tertained the sentiment before Browns
name was ever mentioned as candi-
date. The charges of fraud and bribery
are denied and the affidavits are pro-
duced to substantiate the denial.
IT is alleged that Gov. Dan W. J.
Jones and Hon. William G.. Whipple
chancellor of the diocese, boasted be-
fore and after the election that il Rev.

were defeated that there would be no
bishop coadjutor in the diocese of Ar
kansas. and that the governor suggest

W00DFORD'S DISPATCH.
Assistant Secretary Day Refuses to Dis
cuss the Message.

cuss the Message.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The 300-w ord
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford Saturday night was trans
lated at the state department to-day.
but no intimation of it's import cuulG
be secured from officials. Assistant
Secretary of State Day, who had bean
entrusted with the whole correspond
ence by the president refused To dis
cuss the message. He said merely that
there was no development in the case
which properly could be made public
now. In one instance he supplemented
this statement by the remark that the
mere fact of information being with
held is not to be taken as a serious a
dictation. Secretary Day dined at the
white house, Mrs. Day still being OUT
of town.
Every effort to supplement Secretary
Days statement with some inforIn;t-
tion from the white house failed. To
urgent appeals for something definite
the president replied, through Secre-
tary Porter that the whole matter was
in Secretary Days hands and that
the president relied on him II handle
the information for the press.
1t was stated at the white house,
however. that there was no Il uth in
the rumor of censure upon Minister
Woodford for allowing Dupuy De LONE
TO IOreStdll MIN In presenting lie dp-
plication for the minister's recall. Min
lister Woodford's course, it was stated,
had been entirely satisfactory and any
criticism at this time was unfoupded
and unfair. 1t could not be ascerta ined
positively whether or not an answer to
Minister Woodford's last dispatch has
been sent. 1t is almost certain. how
ever, that a reply has been drafted ;.ni
that it was put in cipher at the state
department this evening. Sidney
Smith, chief of the diplomatic bureau,
was at the department until after 4
o'clock Special orders had been is
sued, also to allow no one in the build

IN NEW BEDFORD.
A General Strike Is Against the spinners'
Declared Policy.

Declared Policy.
New Bedford. Mass, Feb. 13.-From the
point of view taken by the New Bedford
strikers the action taken by the confer
ence of textile unions in Boston to-day is
scarcely likely to be received with joy.
inasmuch as ii is against the policy
adopted at the meetings of the executive
committee of the National Spinners' un-
ion. to-wit: That New Bedford should be
be made the battle ground. and until the
conclusion of the strike here the other
textile operators should remain al work,
thereby acquiring the means to assist the
New Bedford operatives in their strug-
gle.
Then. at the conclusion of New Bed
fords fight. the plan was. that whether
New Bedford won or lost, the strike
against the general reduction should he
extended in one district at time until
the whole of New England should he
covered.
The delegates to the conference will re-
port their new plan to their several un-
ions. and although the Boston conference
adjourned sine die il is presumed that
after action is taken by the unions con-
ference will he called TO take action on
the result.
Secretary Cunnan of the general strike
council reports on the collections received
up to Saturday. The total amount for the
work was 81 10 against 81, $50 for the pre-
vious week.
Daniel Delone. the socialist organizer
to-day closed the series of meetings
which he has held in the interest of his
party. AS d result of this meeting a
branch of the Socialists Trade and Labor
Alliance has been formed in this city.
This is the new trades union movement
vouched for by the socialists. and its
fundamental principle is the wiping out
of the capitalist class at the ballot box.
rather than the settlement Of differences
between capital and labor by strikes. Not
withstandng the attitude of the Trade
and Labor Alliance and the socialists gen.
orally toward strikes. they declare that
they will do nothing TO injure the present
strike. but after II is over they want the
socialists to exert their influence at the
polls.
