ANNUAL VISITATION.
Big Chiefs Make Long Talks to Local
Tribes of Red Men.

The warriors of Quinsgamond Tribe
were on the warpath last night, at its
wigwam in the Day building. Although
no scalps of palefaces were taken, the 10
candidates on whom was eXemplified the
chiefs degree had more or less of a hard
time of it. The occasion last night was
the annual visitation of the great chiefs
of the tribe. The guests Of honor were
Albert e. Steele, great sachem, of North
ampton; William Scrampton, great chief
of records, of Boston, and Deputy Great
Sachem r. d. Waters of this city The
suite of Great Sachem Steele was made
up of Great Prophet c. A. Weaver Of
Worcester, Great Chief of Records
Scrampton of Boston, Deputy Great
Sachem Waters of Worcester, Great
Sennap N. E. Converse of Worcester, Past
Sachems f. d. Cady and Fairbanks of
Springfield and Messrs. Jay, Newman and
Davidson of this city.
The working Of the degree by Past
Sachem Charles II. Tuck was unusually
impressive, as elaborate preparations had
been made for the occasion and extra
costumes had been obtained. Following
the ceremony, the great sachem and the
great keeper of records spoke to the war
riors in the lodge rooms. After this a
banquet was served in the banquet hall by
Caterer Marshall. at which over 100 COW
ers were laid The evening closed with
"long talks" by some of the chiefs pro-
phets and other dignitaries of the lodge.

Officials Of Quinsiga-
almond Regatta Talk
Over Plans.
INTEREST is RIFE.
Races This Year to Be
the Best in a
Decade.

Lake Quinsigamond is to see on its
placid waters two days international
regatta this summer, and Worcester's
aquatic interests will be doomed by an
able committee of representative bust
ness men, so that the regatta of the
year 1899 promises to be one of the
most successful held at the lake in re-
cent years.
The date of the regatta will probably
be July 81 and August l, and all the
leading boating clubs and oarsmen of
this country will be invited, with the
representative rowing organizations
and experienced oarsmen of the Can
adas, so that the regatta will be in ey-
cry sense an international affair.
Match races between the big oarsmen
Of this country, including the Henley
champion, Ten Eyck, and other prom
inent men who have won distinction in
aquatics, will be arranged.
The regatta at Lake Quinsigamond
will closely follow the national regatta
at Boston, on July % and 20, and 1t is
hoped to secure entries from all the
-
the national affair.
The annual meeting of the governors
of the Quinsigamond international re-
gatta was held in the board of trade
rooms last evening. james S. Aborn
who has been a conspicuous member in
past years, was not to be seen. Col
Samuel E. Winslow resigned from the
board of governors and Frank ii. Bige-
low was elected to his place. The va
cancy caused by the death of the Hon.
Charles B. Pratt was filled by the cleo
ton of Francis H. Dewey.
Hon. Stephen Salisbury was elected
president, Col Winslow having re-
signed, and the officers of the board for
the ensuing year were chosen as fol-
lows: President, Stephen Salisbury;

tary, Louis Erville Ware. The full

WILL Be NO STRIKE.
Moulders Confident That
Their Demands Will
Be Granted.

The largest hall in labor headquarters
was filled last night when the Moulders
Union had a special meeting.
Ex-Vice President Daniel II. White or
the International Iron Moulders Union
acted as adviser. In speaking to a spy
man, he said: 81 am positively unchange-
able in my opinion that there will be no
need of a strike. Strike talk amounts to
nothing when it is not backed up. L do
mt believe that there are half dozen
moulders in Worcester who would be in
favor of being participants in a strike at
the present time. =
80 satisfactory is the outlook that
will return to Boston tonight.
1.-THE most important point that mas ap-
peared as yet in the affair comes out TO-
day One of the largest foundrymen N
Worcester told me that he would asree 70
the new price list, and gave it as his opih-
ion that the others would do so. II there
should be strike it will not be general
one. 1t will affect only those Iouhurlea
which refuse to accede to the dehlahus
Most Of the leading foundry owners
are members of the National FOUNDRY
mems Association. In the past rev Weeks
81. 600 moulders have been benefited by m
creased >~ages. Most of the employers
accepted the new price lists sent IN ny
moulders unions and were menlpsIs u
the National Association, ana at tHe AZ
vice OF the OilittIS VI tins u.s. - i -,
price lists were agreed to by louIury
owners. That in itself is an INDICATION
that there will be no trouble between
moulders and their employers IN Jnls city
regarding the new scale of wages
II can give you no accurate idea OF the
amount of money each moulder would re-
ceive as result of the new wages being
paid, because many of the men are on
piece work Men working by the day
would receive from % to 80 cents more
per day than they do now.
William II. Gardner of the New Eng
land conference committee was also pres
emf at the meeting During the evening a
communication was read from Bridge
port stating that the moulders' union IA
that city had made demand upon theH
employers similar to that of the Worces-
ter moulders.
The foundry owners took no action yes
terday, and evidently thought the matter
over a bit preparatory to giving any decl-
sion. That several of the larger foundry
men have told their confidential friends
that the moulders would win IS getting 10

union The Moulders' Union VIII meet
Monday evening and discuss the events Oh
the week. A..
Jefferson D. Pierce president of the
Massachusetts, Federation of Labor, ana
president of the Central Labor Union. IN
conversation with a Spy man last night,
said; "The terms of the Moulders' Union
are fair and reasonable beyond argument.
and | cannot see how there can be any
unwilingness on the part OF the tounqry-
men to grant the wages asked for. 90

is the foundry owners will be the losers,
