soul that grows nobler has Joys that

whence do our thoughts derive the
weapons wherewith they attack or de-

wherein we accept it overwhelming

is greater than happiness? Why,

GENERAL ADVANCE IN WAGES.

Boston, Mass, December 5.-The
Movement to advance wages in cotton
mill centers has become general
throughout the New England states.
Thus far nearly 100, 900 operatives have
been notified of a 10 per cent. advance
and the outlook indicates that most of
the mills which have not made any
nnouncement will soon do so.
The operatives of the big Rhode
Island corporations controlled by the
Goddards and Robert Night and sew
eral smaller concerns in that state and
those of the Lowell Company, aggre-
eating in number nearly 10000, were
among the mill workers notified of tn
advance today. The new schedule will
go into effect at Lowell December 18th
and in Rhode Island one week earlier.
1t is expected that by Christmas wages
in the COTTON mills of New England
will be higher than they have been be-
fore since 1893.

GERMANY
At III Friendly sentiments Expressed
in McKinIey's Message.

Berlin, December 6.-The German
government and press almost unani-
mously welcome President McKinley's
message to congress. Even the agra
rian papers, always opposed to things
American, g~rudgingly admit hat the
message is fair and honest. The drift
of private comment is virtually the
same. In the lobby of the reichstag
today similar sentiments were ex-
pressed without reserve by members
of every La of political conviction.
Emperor William, it is reliably re-
ported, had a long consultation this af-
ternoon with Count Won Buelow. the
foreign minister, and expressed him
self as very much pleased with Presi-
dent McKinley's attitude toward Ger
many
Count Won Buelow authorized the
Associated Press correspondent in Ber-
lin to send to the United States the
following as his impression of the
message:
Count Won Buelow regards the
message as an enunciation memorable
in the development Of German-Ameri-
can friendship. The warm tone in
which the president speaks of our mu-
tual relations has created here the
best impression and one may be sure
that the sympathy exhibited by the
president for Germany is here sin
cerely r~eciprocated. Politically, ev-
erything between the two countries is
serene and there is nothing that dis
itrubs the entente cordiaie. Economi-
cally considered, the contents and lone
of the message strengthen the hope
that the United States, with their in
creasing exports to Germany, will
make fair concessions to Germany's
trade and that the reciprocity negotia-
tons will be further conducted in a
friendly spirit to a good end"
The press particularly rejoices at
the announcement regarding alliances,
despite many previous asserverations
to the same effect.

CUBA,S NEW GOVERNOR.
General Wood to Succeed General
Brooke-TrooPs to be withdrawn.

Washington, December General
Leonard Wood had a conference with
the secretary of war today respecting
his future. While neither of the prin-
cipals had anything to say for publ
cation as to the conclusions reached.
it is gathered that General Wood is to
be the next governor of Cuba, succeed
ing General Brooke, who will return
to the United States
1t is expected that the military force
in Cuba can be greatly reduced in the
near future, so that while General
Wood, by commanding the troops re-
naming will be a military governor.
there will be SO little left of the mill
tary establishment that his office Will
be much more civil than military in
fact. The reduction in force will en-
able the war department to withdraw
some or perhaps all of the general Of
ficers of the regulars now in Cuba.

THREE SENATE CAUCITsEs.

Washington, December 5Three eau
cuses were held in the senate end Of
the capitol today. They were under
the auspices respectively of the repub-
lican, the democratic and the independ-
ent senators, the last named including
the silver republicans and the popu-
lists. The business of each of the meet
ings p~ertained to the filling and reor-
ganiZation of the committees and in
each instance the detail work was re-
ferred to special committees.
Senator Allison presided over the re-
publican caucus and Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, was elected chairman of the
democratic caucus.
The independents agreed to act with
the democrats in the organization of
the senate. A proposal was made in
the republican caucus for two new
committees on Cuba and the Philip
pines.
