SUIT THEMSELVES.
Founders Get Control
Of the Striking
Moulders.
MINIMUM RATE TO BE s2.75.
Vice President Roach and
Mr.. Frey knew Nothing
About the Meeting"
MINIMUM RATE TO BE STE.

The founders and moulders met in the
Bay State House last night, and before
the session was over pledged them
selves not to say anything concerning
what took place.
For three hours the founders had
complete control over the hitherto self
assertive moulders, and at the conclu-
sion Of the session, they had adjusted
matters to suit themselves.
An agreement was signed for one
year between the representatives of the
Moulders' Union and the Union Found
ers, which made void the SO per day
minimum day wage rate, and estab-
lished in it's place articles which ex-
plicitly state that the minimum day
wage rate il the foundries which have
been paying SO will be $2.75 Shop COM
mittees will settle the question as to the
amount of work to be done in a day
James e. Roach, vice president of
the Iron MoUlders Union of America,
arrived from Lowell early in the even
ing. The moulders present were E. P.
Huntoon, Globe foundry; J. P. F. Frey,
Kabley's; Jere Largess, James Col
wins; John Brummel, Caleb Colvin' S;
Thomas Foley, Pierce's. The founders
senting James Colvin; Caleb Colvin,
]. F. Pierce, of Arnold & Pierce; Chas.
Pratt, Globe.
Vice President Roach and ]. P. F.
Frey were found about u o'clock by
The Spy man.
Mr.. Roach said that as far as he
knew, there had been no meeting of
the founders and moulders. Later,
when founders were seen, they said
that for the sake of protecting the
moulders from the taunts of the I'M
sympathetic public, they had partially
agreed to observe silence when ques-
toned as to the doings of the meeting,
and that it could not be said to be a
meeting of the two factions because
the founders simply told the moulders
what they would do, and that settled
it.
1t was the idea Of labor leaders to
have nothing known about last nights
transactions until after the board sat
in the Holyoke Machine Company
case.
Vice President Roach will leave Wor-
cester this morning for New London,
according to his statement, and will be
absent for several weeks from this sec
ton of New England.

ANTS" TURNED DOWN
Scion Of Napoleon Refuses
to Act as Vice
President.

Boston, May 26.-Charles J. Bona
parte of Baltimore, who recently was
elected vice president of the Anti-Im-
perialist league of this city, has writ
ten a letter to the organization, de-
clining to accept the proffered distinc-
ton, on the ground that while he does
not agree with the president of the
United States in his Philippine policy,
as he understands it, as the country is
at war with Aguinaldo ard his fol-
lowers, he is unwilling to take airy
part in an agitation which may have
some tendency to cause a public enemy
to persist in armed resistance, or may
be at least plausibly represented as
having this tendency"
Il do not think that citizens enter
tanning my views as to the cession OF
the Philippines to our country are in
fairness called upon to suggest a suit
able policy respecting them. writes Mr..
Bonaparte. For all the consequences of
that cession the president of the United
States must answer. When the proto-
col was signed he could have with
drawn our military and naval forces
from the islands and abandoned all
further interference in their affairs; in
stead of so doing, he even agreed to
nav Spain $4,000, 900 as the price of
their sovereignty. and those of us WI o
then condemned and still condemn his
course are. to my mind, in no wise
bound to show him now a way out of
any embarrassment which he may
have thus brought upon the country.

McGOVERN WINS.
Only Takes Five Rounds
to Do Up Sammy
Kelly.

New York, May 26.-Terry Meow
ern Of Brooklyn, at the Broadway Ath-
letic Club, tonight, whipped Sammy
Kelly of Manhattan, in less than five
rounds. Kelly was in good shape, but
McGovern, with youth on his side, was
better. McGovern was the favorite at
100 to 40, but many bets were made at
even money that Kelly would last 20
rounds. Large sums were bet on the
Brooklyn lad, several wagers being
registered of $500 to 5000 and $1,000 to
$500 against Kelly. 1t was announced
that the lads would box twenty five
rounds at 120 pounds, under Marquis of
Queensberry rules. Johnny White was
the referee.
In the fifth round McGovern got KEEL
ly into a neutral corner. Kelly could
not keep his guard low enough to pro-
tect his injured ribs. Finally, Terry
rushed and swung his left to the head,
followed by right on the jaw, stag
gering Kelly. Then he sent his left to
the jaw again and Kelly fell back
wards, his head striking the floor heav-
lily. Kelly tried hard to get UP, but it
was to no purpose and he was counted
out

DEWEY'S LONG CRUISE.
viii Visit Many Ports and
Not Get Home Till
October.

Washington, May 26.-Admiral Dewey
telegraphs the navy department that he
will stop at various places on his way
to the United States. and will reach
New York about October /.
Admiral Dewey's dispatch did not
enumerate the points where the Olym-
pia will touch en- route to New York
Some of Dewey's friends in the navy
department suspect that the admiral is
purposely evading a statement Of his
itinerary, desiring to avoid as far as
possible all demonstrations.
One result of the postponement of the
Olympia's arrival in this country until
October will be the fmpossibility of the
presence OF the admiral at the G. A. R.
encampment in Philadelphia.
His friends here say that this was the
only occasion which the admiral had
positively promised to attend and they
intimate that, having been obliged by
his health to Gecline to attend the din
ner at Hong Kong in honor of the
queens birthday, a very unusual de-
clination, Admiral Dewey will find it
impossible to depart from the rule he
there established and attend any ban
quets or popular demonstrations in this
country.

The FIRST IN YEARS
Land-locked Salmon
Caught at the
Lake.
WEIGHS OVER THREE POUNDS.
Charles E. Burnham the
Lucky Man Who Pulled
Out the Bouncer.
WEIGHS OVER THREE POUNDS.

Charles E. Burnham and John F.
Kyes made one of the prettiest catches
Of trout Of the season at Lake Quin-
sigamond yesterday. Mr.. Burnham re-
turned with trout, as he supposed,
that tipped the scales at three pounds
and two ounces.
The fish measured 21 inches in
length and was exhibited to number
Of friends as one of the finest trout
taken from the lake this year. The
supposed trout was of pronounced sill
yer markings with fine black spots and
q midway line Of deep black that ran
from head to tail along the side, while
the tail was unlike that ever seen on
any trout taken from the lake.
The fish was displayed to the admir-
ing gaze of number of amateurs un-
til a late hour last night, when vet
Gran with rod and line called at Mr.
Burnham's home, 50 Cedar street, and
pronounced the catch none other than
a land-loclred salmon.
As far as known, this is the first sal
mon taken from Lake Quinsigamond
in a score of years, and the news
spread rapidly among the Waltons last
AA6nbs AlIb1 years dSO l. w. Law =
renee and q number of interested
Bportsmen liberated a few lingering
salmon in the lake, and nothing has
ever been heard of them until Mr..
BuTnham made his catch yesterday.
The fish was caught at the upper end
Of the lake by trolling with artificial
bait. The big fellow rose in 10 feet Of
water, broke into the air and made
dive for the bottom. The fisherman
was no less surprised than the fish, and
after struggling for time with the
small rod and light tackle, failed to
move the big fellow from his sulk until
the boat had been rowed back directly
over him. After one strong pull there
followed lively ten minutes, and the
fish was hauled, exhausted, into the
boat
Mr.. Kyes landed two trout that
weighed 81 pounds. The larger tipped
the scales at one pound six ounces, and
the other weighed fourteen ounces,
While fishermen are making the long
trip to the Rangeleys in search of trout
fishing, the square tails are being TAX
en- almost daily at the lake with fly. H.
A. Mower, during the last week, has
landed three fish that weighed respec-
lively one pound six ounces, one pound
four ounces and fourteen ounces. There
is more fly fishing at the lake just now
than was ever known before and Wor-
cester fishermen appear to be awaken
ing to the fact that there are big trout
in the lake and plenty of them.

Famous City By the
Sea is Laid
Waste.
HOTELS .AND THEATRES GONE.
Over Two Hundred Build
ings Consumed By
Fires Fury.

New York. May 26.-Seldom has q
fire attracted more attention in New
York city in a general way than the
blaze which destroyed 200 houses at
Coney Island this morning.
Property valued at nearly a million
dollars was destroyed twenty acres in
the heart of the summer resort section
known as THE Bowery.' being reduced
to ashes.
The 200 buildings burned were locat-
ed between the Bowery and the ocean,
Tilyous walk on the west and the old
iron pier on the east. These buildings
ranged In size and Importance from a
.wabbly bathing pavilion to the hand
some five-story Hygeia Hotel, and in
Guided theatres, concert halls dancing
paVilfons, stores of various kinds, res
taurants and hotels of every grade.
The fire made shelterless for time a
native" and transient population of
about $500, including 500 men and wo-
men classed as comedians and SOU
brets, employed in the district, and ST..
fenced no less than 100 pianos
1t was nearly a. d. when Police
man Lynch discovered a blaze in a
cottage at the corner of the burnt dis
tflct near the iron pier. prompt re-
spouse of the fire department in an
swer to an alarm had this trouble dis
posed of before $3.50 o'clock, and the en-
gines were about going away when the
same officer discovered another fire in
pavilion at the west, or Tilyous walk,
end of the district
This was the start of the big fire, and
IL spread rapidly in a northeasterly zig
gag line toward the Fatime theatre on
the Bowery. Additional alarms followed
in quick succession until 20 engines,
some as far away as South Brooklyn,
were called to aid. In ten minutes af-
ter the second fire started, the whole
Bowery district was in wild alarm.
So far az known only five persons
were injured CT burned, and all will re-
| cover. Deputy Battalion Chief Kirk
patrick is convinced that the fire was
of incendiary origin.

hour to enable persons desiring of wit
Messing the game at Holy Cross to
also see the race. All details of prep
aration have been made and all the
crews now await is good water and no
wind.
The race will be started from an
chored boats at the north end of tile
upper lake, known as the regatta
course, and will be finished at the line
near the causeway. There has been no
change in the personnel of the crews
OF officials from the list that has been
published in The Spy.
There has been much speculation in
this city for several days past regard
ing the outcome. Rumors of a fast
freshmen crew have reached Worces
ter in the last few days and created a
little fear, except among the staunct-
est of the high school supporters. It's
a game of guess at best. Nobody in
Worcester has any more knowledge of
the speed of the Harvard men, and no
body has any more knowledge of the
speed of the high schools. Coach Ten
Eyck has kept their trials to himself.
He has done 1t so well that none of the
betting men has been able to get a
line on their rowing.
Coach Ten Eyck evidently has conf
dence in the ability of his boys, for
he has laid several wagers on them al
ready. Yesterday he wagered $50 with
Connie Murphy on the High Schools
winning. Connie has heard glowing re-
ports of the work Of the Harvard
freshmen.
The Venus will follow the race.
Tickets for the boat will be placed on
sale at Easton's this morning. The
Apollo will carry the officials.
No college game ever excited as much
interest in this city as the contest be-
tween Holy Cross and Georgetown,
which is scheduled for today on Holy
Cross grounds. Several wagerS were
registered last night. At first there
was even money, but later the George
town hackers were the strongest, and
odds of to 4 prevailed, and in a few
instances odds of to being given on
the southern players.
The game viii be called at 245 O'Clock
sharp this afternoon in order that the
spectators may also attend the boat
race at the lake. Arrangements have
been made with the Consolidated
Street Railway Company to have
large number of cars in waiting at the
foot of the hill, and the start for the
lake will be made Immediately after
the game is finished.
Georgetown had a game scheduled
with Boston College yesterday, but laid
OFF and will doubtless be in good con-
dition.
Tim Hurst regarded as one of the
best indicator men in the business, will
officiate as umpire. The makeup of
the teams win be:

ZAMBOANGO EVACUATED
Spaniards Leave Island Of
Mindanao in Orderly
Fashion.

Madrid, May 26.-The minister Of war,
General Polavieja, has received a dis
patch announcing the evacuation of
Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, by the
Spanish garrison. The dispatch fur
Their says that as the Spaniards had
declined to assent to the Filipinos' de-
mands that the arms and munitions of
war be surrendered with the city,
fighting ensued, the Spaniards suffer-
ing some loss. The dispatch adds that
the natives continue bitterly opposed to
the idea Of American annexation, and
that the conquest of Mindanao will
prove to be a tough task.
The following is the full text Of the
dispatch, which was sent by General
Rios, Spanish military representative in
the Philippines, from Manila, Il ar
rived on the Leon XIII. The occupa-
ton of the island of Jolo by the Amer
leans was effected without special in
cident. The American warships saluted
our flag with twenty-one guns when it
was lowered.
1.-THE Filipino batteries at Zamboan-
ga, island Of Mindanao, continued to
shell the town and the port, causing
losses in our garrison; but finally, af-
ter a lively attack by the Spaniards,
the insurgents fed. They suffered nu-
merous losses. Our losses were two
officers and three soldiers killed and
nineteen soldiers wounded.
zone company of our troops attacked
battery,which the enemy then aband-
oned, and two other batteries were dis
mounted by our artillery. After this
reverse the insurgents declared their
adhesion to Spain and suspended hos
tilities.
The evacuation of Zamboanga was
accomplished in the most orderly way.
In spite of a violent storm, which
caused the loss Of several boats and
the stranding of the steamer Porto
Rico on the enemy's coast, every one
was safely embarked. Two American
warships were placed at my disposal
by the admiral, but we did not need
them"

RETALIATION THE PLAN.
That Is the Only Way IN Which to In
fIuence Canada.

Washington, May 26-There is nc
doubt that our government is inclined
to retaliatory consideration against
Canada by the discouraging results of
the negotiations in London, looking to
the clearing of the field for the reas-
sembling of the joint Canadian COM
mission 1t is gathered that the Brit
ish foreign office, which had seemed
DESTROYS to make Mr.. Choate's advances
in the spirit of compromise that prom
Used well, has been again influenced by
Canada's refusal to agree to anything
less than a concession of all of her de-
IPands, which has stopped all progress.
The treasury department has now
two courses open, both being retalia-
tory. The first Is the preparation of an
amendment to the tariff act largely in
creasing the duties on lumber and for
est products imported into the United
States from Canada,
There is possibly another course A
section of the Dingley act authorizes
the United States government, in cases
where countries impose an export duty,
to add the equivalent of such export
duty to the import on such goods COM
ing to the United States. The Cana
dian government is not imposing in so
many words an export duty on logs,
but it has prohibited their expectation.
The question before Secretary Gage
is whether this prohibition may not be
regarded as in principle the same thing
as an excessive and, therefore, pro-
hibitive export tax. If this view is
sound, the treasury has already at
hand the measure of retaliation it
seeks in the shape of an order prohib-
iting the importation of Canadian logs
into the United States, which would
bear very heavily upon other provinces
in Canada outside Of Ontario.

ONE WEEK MORE.
Legislature viii Not ee Prorogued as
Soon as Expected.

Soon as Expected,
Boston, May est is settled that the
legislature will not be prorogued this
week and that ceremony will not take
place until Thursday evening, and per-
haps not until Friday evening of next
week The House is in shape to close
its business up tomorrow, but the Sen
ate is several laps behind and the pop
'ular branch must therefore wait Both
branches voted to hold sessions tomor-
row, the House meeting at 10 in the
forenoon and the Senate at 1890 Both
gatherings will be short, and are held
for the purpose mainly of adjourning
over to Wednesday in order to avoid a
session Monday.
The Senate has still number of mat
ters upon its calendar, and some still
in the committee on ways and means
so that it is hard to see how it can
close up its business before Thursday
evening. There is also a disagreement
between the two branches on the bill
relating to the inspection Of gas and gas
meters, ard today the House refused
again to concur in the Senate amend
ments and appointed another commit

take a little time to get both branches
in accord on this measure.
About all the time at the morning
session Of the House was devoted to
the Cape Cod canal, four canal meas
ures being on the docket The win
ner was the bill Incorporating the Bos-
ton, Cape Cod and New York Canal
Company, this being the concern which
proposes to build a canal by the So
called Buzzards Bay route. The bill
was up for engrossment and received
it by huge majority, the vote in it's
favor being 100 to 20 against.
This bill having been passed, the 9TH
ers were taken from the table, and all
referred to the next general court.
The resolve for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the Carney hospital, Boston.
was the leading feature Of the day in
the Senate.
By a vote of - to IS, with five pairs,
the resolve was adopted. Senator
Washburn Of Worcester was paired in
favor Of the resolve, and Senators Nc
Clellan of Worcester and Whittlesey of
Berkshire were paired against it.

CAN COLLECT DAMAGES
Market Gardener Gets Decision Against
Sewerage Commissioners.

Boston, May 26.-The full bench Of
the supreme court today sent down an
important decision relative to rights Of
owners of property taken by the met
ropolitan sewage commissioners. The
court finds that the verdict, which was
for the defendant in the superior court,
must be set aside and the case stand
for trial.
The petitioner was Nicholas ]. PEN
ney and the defendant the common
wealth. Penney claimed that the sew
erage commissioners constructing the
sewer drained the petitioners premises
and wells, thereby causing him to lose
his crops and subjecting him to great
damage in his business, which was that
of a market gardener, and depriving
him of the use of his wells. The su-
perior court decided that there could
be no recovery, but the supreme court
finds that there is nothing in the stat
utes to prevent the petitioner from re-
covering for the loss of his crops and
the damage caused by the draining of
his wells

National bank of Fitehburg, was placed
on trial in the United States circuit
court here, charged with the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 Of the funds of the
