ALBANY, n. Y, June u-That there Is
a decided improvement throughout the
state of employment in nearly all indus
tries, with the exception of the building
trades. is shown by the first quarterly bull
letin. just issued by the bureau of labor
statistics for the quarter ending March 81
In March the bureau made inquiries of
leading manufacturers of the state con-
cerning the condition of business. Their
answers are summarized in about twenty-
five reports. Five reported an advance OF
business since the 1st of January; fourteen
others reported an increase of working
force, while only three reported a declin-
ing or stationary business. The industries
most favorably situated were the iron and
steel industries, common goods, clothing.
canned goods, cigars and lumber.
The trades union returns on employment

following comparisons for the correspond
ing period in 1898: Number OF unions. LIS

STONEWARE FIRMS IN A TRUST
Twenty Factories Represented In
Movement to Consolidate the In
dustry East of Mississippi,

COLUMBUS. o., Nov. 1.-The prospects
are that within the next month all the
stoneware factories east OF the Mississippi
river are to be consolidated under the
name of the National Stoneware company.
The plan is to incorporate company under
the laws OF New Jersey, with capital stock
of $1000,000. The headquarters will prob
ably be at Akron.
Arrangements for the consolidation OF the
various companies in the territory named
were considered at a secret all-day meeting
of about twenty representatives OF the COM
panies at the Chttenden hotel Thursday
The plan had been agreed upon at a meeting
in this city several months ago, but num-
ber of the proprietors of factories could not
. agree on satisfactory prices and the COM
bination was declared off.
Since that time. number of meetings
have been held at the Chittenden for the
purpose Of endeavoring to come to some
agreement whereby the proposed organiza-
ton could be formed. Considerable progress
in the matter was made at the meeting and
an early consummation Of the plan is ex-
pected

PARTITION OF THE SAMOANS
Nel citations on the subjsCt Are Rapidly
Nearing an End.
FINAL AGREEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Island OF Tutuiiin Likely to Fall 10
the Lot of the United states
Outline of the Agree
mcnt. ....t . .... 3

WASHINGTON Nov. 1.-The negotiations
for the partition of the Samoans are pro-
ceeding rapidly and officials here would not
be surprised II final agreement were
reached in the near future.
The discussion going on in London, with
the cooperation of the authorities here and
In Berlin, has brought out essential features
on which all three of the powers, Germany,
Great Britain and the United States, ap-
pear to be agreed. 1t was stated that the
determination was reached that the tri-
partite government OF the group should come
to an end and that not more than two pow
ers, and preferably one. should govern the
islands. 1t soon developed that an agree
ment was not likely to be reached giving
the entire group to one power, but the
chances seemed good for an agreement
that two powers could divide the islands,
thus giving dual government in place Of
the present unwieldy agreement.
1t seemed to be generally accepted by the
negotiators that the United States would
bo one Of the two powers to be represented
and that the island Of Tutuila, on which the
harbor OF Pago Pago is located, would
naturally fall to the lot of the United States
1t is understood that the British authorities
quite fully coincide with this view and that
while the Germans seemed to regard 1t IA
vorably 1t was left open for more mature
approval by the Berlin authorities.
In conceding this island and harbor to the
United States account was taken CT the fact
that II an agreement were reached on that
matter it would remain for the United States
to give its approval. One Of the remainin z
slands, Upolu, is Of much value, while the
other, Savaii, Is practically valueless. 1t is
| suggested that Great Britain cede the Gill
bert and Solomon islands to Germany, the
latter retiring from Samoa. The Fiji islands
| and some other points also have been con-
sidered during the discussion, but thus far
Germany has not acted favorably on the
suggestion, and there have been evidences
that she preferred to retain her interests
and make compensation to Great Britain.
This remains open and appears to be the
chief point remaining in the way Of final
adjustment.
Tho foregoing general outline was given
today in quarters we'll informed on the gen
eral lines of the negotiations, although 1t
waa with tho reservation that the UNDER
standings were merely formative and still
open to material change.

LATE ADvlCEs FROM HAWAII
Three Important Documents From
Washington Are rendered to
the Native Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The steamer
China arrived here today from Asiatic ports.
via Honolulu and brings tho following news
from Honolulu under date of October 25:
Special Agent Harold NJ. Sewall has handed
to the Hawaiian government three letters, al!
OF which are quite important. They come
from Washington and are official.
The first and most important refers to the
claims of British and other residents for
damages for Imprisonment during the re-
bellion of 1885, Enclosed with the COM
municaton is the opinion of Attorney Griggs
in relation to, thermatter. The merit of the
claims is acknowledged, No individual case
is particularly specified. 1t is recommended
that the local government make settlement
of some sort satisfactory to the parties.
Tho second letter and one Of great i'm
portance, is in relation to Minister Damon's
trip to Italy The comes directly from the
secretary OF state to Special Agent Sewall
1t is understood that the United States gov
ernment disapproves of the mission Of
Mf. Damon. Minister Damon left here some
months ago to enlist in Italy laborers fer the
plantations, or rather to open the way for
drawing on the northern provinces of that
country fer portion of the field labor re-
quired here.

is we'll taken and that the office may con-
tnue under it's old title
The successor to Minister King has not
been appointed as yet. The choice lies be-
tween Alexander Young and Henry E.
Cooper, the present attorney general.
The steamship Carlisle City has arrived
from the Orient with 7O2 Japanese laborers
on board. The vessel will proceed to San
Diego and will probably go into the United
States army transport service. 1t was built
as cattle transport and will be better for
the shipment of horses and mules than any
steamer now in that service
The United States steamship Newark ar

Mayor Tubbs stands His Trial

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 1.-(Special
Telegram)-In the case against Mayor R.
A. Tubbs Of Alcester, now on trial in the
United States court here on charge or
sending obscene literature through the
mails, the government today concluded its
side OF the case. The last witness for the
prosecution was C. C. Curtis of Minneapolis,
a handwriting expert, who testified that the
five letters submitted in the case were un-
questionably in the handwriting OF Tubbs.
Curtis last summer went to Alcester and
while there sent some kilograms, replies to
which were written by Tubbs. who is oper-
ator and Northwestern agent. According
to the opening statement of the defense 1t
is probable that an effort will be made to
prove an alibi for Tubbs in connection with
the testimony Of the complaining witness,
who alleges that at certain time she was
in the company of the defendant.

tion heaped upon Mark Hanna or any indi-
vidual as such we're not a discussion of prin-
ciples but degradation Of moral force and
an acknowledgment OF the weakness of the
cause of the vituperation. HIS argument on
the combination of capital was the most con-
elusive in favor OF republican principles ever
presented to n Lexington audience.
On the Philippine question he called atten-
tion to the four great documents written for
freedom of man, Magma Charta, Declaration
OF Independence, emancipation proclamation
and MeKinley's proclamation, and in the
most forcible and eloquent manner proved
that the present policy Of the administration
was guided by Divine Providence and for
the carrying out Of the very principles en-
bodied in these documents. He closed with
peroration that held the audience spell
bound, causing an outburst of applause at
its close:
