The State Board of Arbitration
Files It's Report.

DENVER, July 31.-The State Board
of Arbitration to-day filed it's report on
the investigation of the smelter strike.
The decision it reached is compromise
between the demands of the smelter
men and the offers of the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
The board has fixed a wage schedule
on the basis of an eight-hour day for
the inside men and a ten-hour day for
the yard men. The wages recommend
ed average about 10 per cent higher
than those offered by the smelter man.
ayers.
The board stipulates that in case of
an agreement to work longer than eight
hours the men shall receive pay at the
same ratio of wages as recommended
for eight hours. The question of union
or non union labor is ignored and this
point is now the only obstacle in the
way of immediate reopening of the
smelters. as the men pledged them
selves to abide by the decision of the
board and it is believed that the man
ayers will accept the solution of the
problem offered by the arbitrators
Denis Sheedy, manager of the Globe
smelter, after the announcement of the
decision of the State Board of Arbitra-
ton, published a notice stating that the
works would be closed indefinitely.

FLEET IN PORTS MouTH.
Biggest Naval Display Ever Seen In New
Hampshire Seaport.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 9.-The
North Atlantic squadron, headed by
the battleship Indiana, steamed into
the harbor this afternoon, and dropred
anchor without ostentation in the har-
Dor. off the navy yard. The fleet is the
most imposing array of battleships that
has ever visited Portsmouth. and
proved sufficient attraction to bring
over 5000 persons from the surrounding
country into the city, and as the coni-
ing of the ships had been bulletine6 at
least three hours before they arrived,
nearly all this great multitude had the
pleasure OF witnessing the column as
it steamed up from Newcastle.
The fleet arrived off Whalesback
light at the mouth of the harbor at
quarter of II o'clock, but Capt TayIor
who commands the squadron in the alb
sence of Admiral Sampson, decided to
hold few maneuvres before coming
up to the city The fleet was therefore put
through number Of i. teresting move
ments, much to the delight of the peo-
pie along shore, who had a fine view
of the six ships as they formed and re-
formed In different columns.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the fleet head
ed in for the harbor and took their no
sitions. There was no saluting, but Ad-
miral Remey at the navy yard, sent
off an officer to welcome the fleet TO
Portsmouth. Official calls will be ex-
changed tomorrow and probably some
salutihg, while on Tuesday the officers
will be rendered a grand ball at Hotel
Wentworth. The fleet will leave for

night while trying to cross the car
tracks in front of an electric car.
TashJian and Callorian were at the
lake yesterday afternoon with a friend
and, after enjoying themselves for the
afternoon, started toward Worcester in
a carriage. The electric car due in
Worcester at 6 o'clock started from the
lake short time after the three Ar
menians. Opposite Pratts grocery
store Malcolm w. McNiven, who was
motorn1an on the car, rang for the men
to keep clear of the tracks, but in
stead of doing so it is stated that they
attempted to cross directly in front of
the car
The fender on the car struck the rear
wheel of the carriage and the three
men were thrown from the team. fash

Callorlan suffered a bad scalp wound
The third member of the party escaped

WILL MAKE QUICK TIME,
Taylor Likely to Be Nominated at Once by
Kentucky Republicans.

Lexington, KY, July 9.-The repub-
lican state convention which meets here
next Wednesday may be a record
breaker for quick work. The democratic
state convention at Louisville two
weeks ago broke the record, otherwise
being in session an entire week There
were three candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor-Goebel.
Stone and Harding.
There are also three candidates for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor-Taylor, Stone and Pratt. Attorney
General Taylor claims that about two
thirds of the delegates are instructed
for him. His friends claim that the
delegates for Col. Stone and Judge
Pratt cannot affect the vote for Taylor
by any combination between themselves
or even with candidates for the minor
places. Col. Stone and Judge Pratt are
expected here tomorrow and their
friends promise some surprise but the
present indications are that the Taylor
men will organize the convention and
be able to carry through what is known
as the Taylor slate"
Taylor is called the national admin
istration man, while Gov. Bradley and
other state administration men are con-
sidered as favoring some other man.
Since both Stone and Pratt were dis
tanced in the race before the county
conventions, there have been efforts to
concentrate on John w. Yerkes or some
other dark horse, but so far without
apparent success.

Mr.. Duh was counsel for one of the di-

TROOPS DROWNED OUT.
Rainy Season in Philip
pines Brings Great
Discomfort.

Manila, July 10, a. NIT has been
raining and storming almost constant
1y for two days, and the country along
the American south and bay lines is
literally flooded The soldiers are
suffering great discomfort. The Thir-
tenth infantry regiment at Pasay is
in the worst position, being practically
surrounded 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 company cooks, when pre-
pairing the meals, stand knee-deep in
water. Some of the reads leading to
Pasay are simply impossible, and rice
fields on all sides are one great lake. A
high wind blew over several tents of
the Second reserve hospital.
The transport Centennial is ready to
sail for San Francisco with discharged
soldiers, but the latter have to sit
s.around the water front all day, drenoh-
ed to the skin, waiting for a launch to
take them to the steamer The river
Pasig and all the other streams are
swollen and the city streets at all low
points are covered with water.
Friendly Filipinos in Manila have
| been the medium of communication be-
tween the American authorities and
the military leaders of the insurrec-
ton in Cavite province, which for some
| time promised to result in bringing over
prominent general and several hun
dred Of his followers with their arms.

mos suspected of friendliness toward
the Americans. He had foreseen the
failure of the insurrection and advised
Aguinaldo to make terms, but it is
understood that he had sent word that
having sworn to support the insurrec-
ton, he must remain loyal to the end
Similar negotiations are said on good
,authority to have been conducted with
a member of the cabinet of the So
called Filipino government, who him
self took the initiative. Some form OF
money consideration figured in the dis
cussions with his friends.

A. S. Cohen, an attorney from Bos-
ton, addressed about 100 Hebrew mer-
chants in Sons Of Abraham synagogue
on Plymouth street, yesterday after
noon on the action of Chief brennan
in insisting on closing up their shops
on Sunday. Mr. Cohen cited several
cases to his hearers which have been
tried to test the matter in courts.
He said: ut is a useless matter for
members of the Hebrew race in Wor-
cester to try and fight the law as re-
SdIQS CiOSllB up lllSlT SHOPS OIL sun
day. The law which states that all
shops must be closed on the Lords day
was made by the people of this great
republic for the community at large,
and, in doing so, a day of rest was Sc
lected which it is the duty of every
person claiming this country as his
home to respect. You are all residents
of this city, and you are in duty bound
to abide by its laws, which are the
best laws that can be found in the
world today. You came from Euro
pean countries and settled in this coun-
try because you were downtrodden by
your oppressors. In that country you
can keep your Sabbath, and you can
keep 1t in this country. Do not bring
the laws Of another country along with
you and try to establish them here.
If you must keep Saturday as the Sab
bath, you must respect the wishes of
the majority of people in this country"
Mr.. Cohen's address did not curry
favor with some of his listeners, but
the matter has been practically settled,
and the Hebrew residents of Worces-
-er will abide by the laws.
A. Israel proprietor of a wrapper
factory on Water street, called his

Mr.. Israel replied that he supposed he
was abiding by the law, which read
that business could be conducted be-

Paris, July 9.-Scandalous reports
are in circulation in connection with
the death here yesterday of Signor C.
Ressman, formerly italian ambassador
to France. 1t is alleged that while he
was lying at the point of death, three
persons, including an official Of the
Italian embassy, rified his rooms and

Ressman had an immense quantity of

1t is also suggested that the search

Crispi, the former italian premier who
practically dismissed Signor Ressman

1880 because the diplomatist had failed
to make the French press favorable to

was necessary for him to procure
prescription from his doctor. The man
did not see the necessity of getting
a prescription, but as the druggist re-

The officers were told to be on the
lookout for Yiolators of the law, but UP
to late hour last night, no one had
been detected by the eagle eyes of
Worcester's finest. All over the city
the proprietors of stores kept one eye
on the police and the other on the cigar
case, and there was a slight possibility
of man buying a cigar in the sub
urbs.
The men to suffer most by the anti
quated blue laws were men doing bust
ness in the centre of the city. The
proprietor of a candy store near the
corner of Main and Pleasant streets
who was complained of by a brother
candy man near by, opened yesterday
morning, as usual, but refused to put
candy out on request. He sold all
kinds of soda waters, and got in a few
papers to cover the law. A druggist
next door covered his show cases all
over with wrapping paper and not a
single cigar could be seen. The pro-
prietor stood behind the counter and

pie stated that election day was com
ing, and blue laws would be relegated
to other sections after the day was
over.
The proprietors of uptown drug stores
where fancy candy is sold, lost a good
sized revenue. 1t has been a custom
from time immemorial for youths i'm
bued with love to make a purchase of
candy to carry to their sweethearts on
the regular Sunday evening call.
During ten-minute stay a Spy man
made in drug store, 10 youngsters
logged out in swell summer clothing
ana buttonhole bouquets, called for
candy and were turned down.
In South Worcester one pharmacist
covered the top Of his cigar case with
a Dig sign which read, History repeats
itself" and underneath the words he
pasted bogus prescription.

remained in his store refusing people

Station 2 officers were equally as alert
