Will Regulate the Market For
Its Goods
AND LIMIT MANUFACTURERS
The Rush to Avoid the Dingley Tax
Will Prevent an Immediate
Rise In Prices.

New York. March 1.-THE Tribune
says: The formation of the American
Woolen company with a capital stock of
about $50, 900, 900, for the avowed purpose
of controlling or regulating the manu-
facture of Woolens in this country, has
interested the merchants of the dry
goods district of this city and set them
to thinking about the new combination
of mills. Several of them said that the
reports indicated that most of the large
companies engaged in the manufacture
of woolens were taking stock in the new
company and the smaller manufacturers
probably would be compelled to join in
the movement for their own protection,
because the new company would be able
to make the price for domestic woolens.
The companies which united last
Thursday to organize the American
Wooden company. own about $4,000 of
the $4,000 woolen looms in this country
but their rela ations with other companies
were such as to make them sure that the
combination would have general support
in the trade. No immediate advance in
the price of woolens may be expected
on account of the formation of the new
company, the New York merchants say,
because there IS yet an enormous stock
Of imported woolens in the American
market. The rush to take advantage of
the low duties on imported woolens be-
fore the Dingley tariff law went into eff
feet was so great that the market was
largely overstocked, while the American
mills continued to manufacture Woolens
in excess of the demand. The result has
been to make the price of woolens in the
American market extremely low. Moth
ing has been cheaper in woolens than at
present.
To limit the manufacture of domestic
wcolens so that it shall not exceed the
demands of the market is declared to be
the main purpose Of the new combination
of the company and will mean the run
ming of some of the mills on half time
and less pay for many thousands of op-
eratives The details of organizat ion
have not been completed yet, and those
interested in the combination in this city
said that it had not been decided in
what state the new company was to be
incorporated. '''~.
Frederick Aver of Lowell, Mass, who
is the chief owner of the Washington
mills at Lawrence, will be the president
OF the company and William NJ, Wood
treasurer. A. d. Juillard of this city
has been spoken Of as a possible selling
agent of the company. Mr.. Juillard is
out Of the city, but a representative of
his firm says he probably would be an
officer in the new company. j. w.
Woodruff probably will be the selling
agent and the company probably will
sell all goods from the mills it can direct
and through no commission house. II is
said that the Guaranty Trust company
in the Mutual Life building is under
writing the proposed consoida ton and
that Kidder, Peabody & Co.. the Boston
bankers, are also interested in financing
the new company.

THE RAINY SEASON.

Boys In the Philippines Suffer
Great DiscomfOrts.

Manila, July 10.-It has been raining
and storming almost constantly for
two days, and the country along the
American South and Bay lines is lit
orally flooded. The soldiers are suffer-
ing great discomfort. The Thirteenth
infantry regiment at Pasay is in the
worst condition, being practically sur
rounded by water. The bridges that
were used for getting supplies have
been washed away, and some of the
companies are now separated by
streams six feet deep. In many cases
the men are sleeping with three feet of
water beneath their hunks, which are
elevated on cracker boxes. The COM
pany cooks, when preparing the meals,
stand knee-deep in water. Some of the
roads leading to Pasay are simply i'm
passable, and the rice fields on all sides
are one great lake. A high wind blew
over several tents of the Second re-
serve hospitals Manila bay is impossi-
zble Of navigation by either launch or
canoes, and no,tessels are leaving the
harbor. The United States transport
Centennial is ready to sail for San Fran
cisco with discharged soldiers, but the
latter have to sit around the water
front all day, drenched to the skin,
waiting for launch to take them to
the steamer. The river Pasig and all
other streams are swollen, and the city

HE LIVES IN LUXURY.
Yet Albert Crosby Files n Petition
in Bankruptcy-Says Every
thing Is His Wife's.

New York, July 12.-Albert Crosby,
Of Brewster, Mass, and formerly rich
and prominent in Chicago, where he
owned Crosby's opera house and the Me-
Avoy Brewing company, was examined
in bankruptcy proceedings here Tues
day. In his petition he described his
assets as consisting of few old clothes.
He lives in a handsome home on Cape
Cod. Mrs. Crosby testified that she
owns the estate at Brewster, has $780,
900 cash in bank, mortgages for $16o,0oo
more, real estate valued at $4,000 and
furniture and paintings valued at $12,-
600, besides her claim for $50, 900 against
Mr.. Crosby for advances made by her
to him from time to time. Mr.. Crosby
said he had owned nothing since 1875,
when he gave his all to his wife. Since
then he has lived by borrowing from
her, he asserts. They usually spend the
winters abroad and the summers at
Brewster.
Mr.. Crosby was on the bond of David
A. Gage, city treasurer of Chicago, who
defaulted in avery large sum. By Ivy
ing timber lands and making barrels
in Indiana Mr.. Crosby contracted debts
of 100000 in that state. Judgments
were obtained against him in Indiana,
and the city of Chicago also got judg-
ment for $50O,000. It was found that he
had no assets.

GETS A FRESH START.
Friends of Municipal Ownership OF

Decided Victory.

Detroit Mich, July 12.-Munnicipar
ownership of Detroit street railways
took, a fresh start Tuesday night, in
spite of the recent adverse decision of
the Michigan supreme court annulling
the appointment of the street railway
commissioners, and in spite of various
other kinds of opposition. After about
five hours of fiercest argument and
desperate ilibustering the common
council by vote of 10 to IA passed the
so-called security franchise ordinance.
This ordinance prescribes the terms
under which the street railways are to
be operated by their present owners
in the event of their reversion through
the municipal corporation (organized
by the late commissioners in behalf
of the city, failing to meet the pay
ments according to terms of purchase.

ed the press to state that in addition
to money all character Of clothing and
provisions are needed in the flood dis
trict. He suggests that parties con-
tributing such articles communicate

order that intelligent distribution may
be had. There are from rs, 900 to 100,-
600 persons needing relief. About
100000 in money. and supplies have
been contributed, but many times that
much is needed.
The governor figures the reports out
to show that the loss of life has been
comparatively small, not exceeding 50
persons. p..,x
Another source gives the following
estimates: Deaths, 3S: destitute suf-
ferers, $4,000; land under water, $1,000
to $4,000 square miles; property losses,
$6,O0O, 900. j. ,a
St. Louis, July 10.-A special to the
Republic from Caldwell, Tex, says:
Estimates made by competent cotton
buyers as to the loss resulting from
damage to the cotton crop in the
Brazos, badly tax the credulity of per-
sons not familiar with the flood con-
ditions. Not less than 200 square miles
of cotton-bearing land has been flood
ed. Every acre of it would have pro-
duced big bale. Basing the loss on
five-cent figures, the crop destroyed on
these plantations was worth almost
$4,C00,000. Well-informed persons are
of the opinion that this unprecedented
rise in the Brazos has cost the people
of Texas little less than $1O,0OO,O 900.
Thousands of mules have been drowned,
al of the domestic animals have per-
ished, rented houses and negro quar-
tcrs have been swept away. The gins
are nearly all ruined, and hundreds OF
plantation stores carrying big stocks
of general merchandise arc under wa
ter. Not bridge has escaped, and not
train has passed over the Santa Fe
railroad between Brenham and Milino
for week.
