TEDDYs PROCLAMATION.
Asks That State Take Part In Dewey ceIebra-
ton.

Albany, N. Y, May 24.-Gov. Roose-
welt sent to the legislature today this
message: Il call to your attention the
desirability of making an appropria-
ton to provide for the proper celebra-
ton Of the return of Admiral Dewey,
an American whom all Americans
worship, and do honor to the man who
at the close Of the 18th century, has
added such renown to the flag that has
already so often been borne to glorious
triumph on. the land and on the sea.
THE thunder of Dewey's guns in Ma
Mia bay raised in a moments time the
prestige of American arms throughout
the world and added a new honor to
American citizenship at home and
abroad, and his services throughout the
trying months that followed. thorgh
less brilliant, were hardly less useful
to his country. It is fitting that we
should show in appropriate form the
high regard we feel for the great adj
miral, and to every officer and sailor
of his feet, that we should testify our
appreciation of the debt under which
this country lies to him and to them,
and indeed to all their comrades in our
forces afioat and ashore.
1.-The members of the Senate and
assembly committee on Dewey cele-
bration this afternoon agreed on a bill
appropriating $4,000 for the states
part in it. All members of the national
guard who desire to appear in the cell
ebration will be enabled to do so. ard
the state win bear the expense of the
transportation, but no salaries will be
paid as in cases where the National
guard is ordered out for duty.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER.
A. B. Davidson Makes Proposition to the
Moulders' Union.

The gloom hanging .sver the striking
moulders was lifted yesterday, when
A. B. Davidson, manager of the juno
ton foundry, agreed to open his foun-
dry which he closed last Saturday pro-
vided the minimum wage rate does not
exceed $2.75 per day.
The moulders. have accepted the in
evitable stOically, and have arranged
a meeting of union founders and a I'M
ion committee for Friday evening, when
the session will be held at the Bay State
House. The establishment of a mini
mum wage rate under So will be the
principal business Of the meeting, as
the moulders believe that it would be
unfair to hold the union founders to
their contracts calling for a minimum
day wage rate of So for one year. The
result of this meeting viii determine
Mr.. Davidson's policy.
The men who will represent the
moulders are: E. P. Huntoon president
of the local union, from the Globe foun-
dry; J. P. F. Frey, from Kableys; Jere
Largess, from James Colvin's: John
Brummel, from Caleb Colvins; Thomas
Foley, from Pierce's. Provided Vice
President Roach returns in time for the
meeting, he will act as spokesman for
the moulders.
The ranks of the strikers. are becom-
ing thinner. Yesterday morning an
agent for the Draper Manufacturing
Company Of Hopedale called at labor
headquarters and said that he could
employ 20 competent moulders. Several
of the strikers went with him, and he
received the promises of half a dozen
more to enter his employ Monday
Hopedale already has a small army of
local moulders Is Of the men having
secured work in foundries there at the
beginning of the strike.
