A WOOL COMBINE
VIII Regulate the Market and Limit
Manufacturers

New York. March THE Tribune
says: The formation of the American
Wooden company with a capital stock
of about $4,000, 900, for the avowed pur-
pose of controlling or regulating the
manufacture of woolens in this country,
has interested the merchants of the dry
goods district of this city and set them
to thinking about the new combination
of mills. Several of them said that the
reports indicated that most of the large
companies engaged in the manufacture
of woolens were taking stock in the
new company and the smaller manu-
facturers probably would be compelled
to join in the movement for their own
protection, because the new company
would be able to make the price for
domestic woolens.
The companies which united last
Thursday to organize the American
Wooden company own about $4,000 Of
the $4,000 wooden looms in this country,
but their relations with other compa
MES were such as to make them sure
that the combina ton would have gen.
eral support in the trade No immedi
ate advance in the price of woolens
may be expected on account of the for
nation of the new company, the New
| York merchants say, because there is
! yet an enormous stock of imported
| Woolens in the American market. The
| rush to take advantage of the low du-
| ties on imported WOoenS before the
Dingley tariff law went into effect was
so great that the market was largely
overstocked. while the American mills
continued to manufacture woolens in
excess of the demand. The result has
been to make the price of woolens in
the American market extremely low
Nothing has been cheaper in WoolenS
than at present.
To limit the manufacture of domestic
woolens so that it shall not exceed the
demands of the market is declared to
be the main purpose of the new combi-
nation of the company. and Will mean
the running of some of the mills on
half time and less pay for many thou
sands of operatives. The details of or
ganizatiOn have not been completed
yet, and those interested in the combi-
| nation in this city said that it had not
been decided in what state the new
company was to be incorporated.
Frederick Aver of Lowell, Mass, who
is the chief owner of the Washington
mills at Lawrence, will be the president
of the company and William NJ. Wood,
treasurer. A. D. Juillard of this city
has been spoken of as a possible selling
agent of the company. Mr.. Juiliard IS
out of the city. but a representative of
| his firm says he probably would be an
| officer in the new company. j. w.
| woodruff, probably, will be the selling
| agent, and the company probably will
| sell all THE goods from the mills it can
direct and through no commission
| house. 1t is said that the Guarantee
| Trust company in the Mutual Life
| building is underwriting the proposed
consolidation. and Kidder Peabody &
! Co, the Boston bankers, are also inter-
ested in financing the new company.

DENIAL OF REPORTED
CABLEGRAM FROM OTIS

ADAMS, Mass, June 25.-Mr. Cortel-
you, acting secretary to the President,
authorized me to state to-day that
there was not a word Of truth in the
report that General Otis had sent a dis
patch to Washington, which was re-
peated to the President, stating his in
ability to conquer the Filipinos and to
hold the ground already gained.
THE story" said Mr.. Cortelyou, lis
a pure fabrication" He added the re-
port that the President had sent a
message of thanks to Governor Roose-
Welt for his offer to furnish troops for
the Philippines was equally false. He
said the President had no official
knowledge of Governor Roosevelt's Of
fer.
President Mckinley passed a quiet
day. He attended the Congregational
Church in the morning and listened to
a sermon supporting his Philippine pol
icy He stayed through the Sunday
school exercises, but did not speak to
the children. In the afternoon he went
driving with Mr.. Plunkett.

DE CLAM TRIES
TO COMMIT SUICIDE

NEW YORK, June 26.-The World S
Paris special says: 1t Is common talk
among officers and politicians in a posi-
ton to know that Du Patty de Clam has
tried to commit suicide twice since put
in the Cherche-Midi Prison a fortnight
ago. The accuser of Dreyfus and Pic
quart is still held in absolute solitude
Neither his wife nor his attorney has
been allowed to see him since he was ar
rested.
Notwithstanding the precautions, 1t has
leaked out that De Clam sought to bribe
the guards to get him a pistol or poison
A subaltern Immediately reported this to
his superiors, who changed the whole
guard, placing in charge old and tried
soldiers, considered proof against tempta-
tions. Later, 1t Is said, De Clam wrote
to kinsman that he had always acted
in the Dreyfus case according to the
best information and in strict loyalty to
the orders of military superiors. Never
theless he declared himself a prey to a
narrowing doubt since the revelations to
the Court of Cessation, and begs piteous-
ly for means to end his life like soldier
and escape the odium Of a criminal trial
This note was intercepted and detained
five days before being delivered to the
person addressed.

AUT0MOBILISM Is
SPREADING IN PARIS
Machines Can Now Be Ordered as
Readily as Horse and
Carriage

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted. 1899, by James Cor
don Bennett.
PARIS, June 25.-Not every one who
takes a fancy for automobilism desires
to own a machine at once. This fact has
been taken advantage Of by what may
be called 1.-The modern livery stablemen,"
who let out automobiles to the public.
1t is marvellous how this industry has
spread in Paris.
If you wish TO go out for ride in the
Bois or shopping zen automobile" all you
have to do is to telephone for one of the
"louers,' and In few minutes you have
a well appointed and luxurious automo-
bile at your door, with smart conductor
in charge, who will whiz you through
the street to whatever place you desire
to go.
Giving lessons to beginners is another
feature of the automobile business. I'VE
have about twentv pupils now said one
dealer, land this is about the average. In
five or six lessons the pupil can manage
the machine very well for himself. We
prefer the morning for lessons. as there
are not so many people in the Bois at
that time Of day." -

HONDURAS MUST PAY
THE PEARS INDEMNITY
United States Government Is Deter
mined to Brook No Further
Delay.

WASHIGTON, June 25.-Oficial
Washington is waiting with some i'm
patience for a reply from the Govern
ment of Honduras to the demand of
Minister Hunter for $4,000 for the heirs
of Frank Pears, killed by a Hondurian
soldier in February. Unless the reply
be forthcoming within the next few
days instructions will be sent to Mr..
Hunter to call for an immediate reply
The administration does not propose
to permit Honduras to be dilatory in
this matter, believing that determina-
tion and constant pressure will not only
result in the payment of the indem-
nifty, but in better treatment of Ameri-
cans there in the future.
Honduras sought the good Offices of
Guatemala to persuade the United
States to accept arbitration several
weeks ago, but arbitration was not ac-
cepted. 1t is presumed that Honduras
is trying to find a loophole through
which she can escape compliance with
the American demand, but the admin
istration is determined she shall paw
the money, and pay soon, even If it be
necessary to send a squadron to COM
pei action
So far as Nicaragua is concerned. the
authorities are satisfied that with the
gunboat Vixen at Bluefelds the Ameri-
cans will be given fair treatment The
authorities are daily expecting to re-
ceive from Nicaragua a demand for the
money the Managua government as

agents from American merchants at

General Miles Advocates the
Sending of Reinforce
mentS to Otis.
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Miller Also of the Opinion That
a Large Number of Men Are
Needed to Pacify Islands.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
June 25.-Major General Miles is
strenuous advocate of the dispatch Of
large reinforcements to General Otis in
the Philippines.
The general declined to discuss the
military situation in the Philippines
other than to say that it was Serious
nor would he give his idea Of the num-
ber of troops he thought should now
be sent TO the Philippines to place the
archipelago under American control.
From the War Department 1t is learn
ed that General Miles, as far back as
April, recommended that ten of the
volunteer regiments which the Presl-
dent is authorized to raise under the
army reorganization law be organized
and sent to Manila. At that time the
officers at army headquarters believed
this force sufficient to crush the rebel
lion, but in view of the strength de-
veloped by the insurgents they are not
now so sanguine that ten regiments are
enough.
There will be 800 men in ten regi-
ments, the advisability of raising which
the War Department is now consider
ing, but well-informed officers say the
force of $4,000 men which General Otis
will have when reinforcements are
placed at his disposal will not be sufti-
cient.
General Marcus P. Miller. who recent
ly arrived from the Philippines, where
he was Governor of Iloilo, has been liv-
ing here since his return. General
Miller's views as to the number of men
required for the subjugation of the
islands is very different from that of
General Otis. He believes 60. 900 men at
least are required 10000 for the control
qf Luzon and the remainder for the re-
storation of peace and order in the
other islands. General Miller's views
coincide, with. General Lawton's and
other officers subordinate to- General
Otis.
There is no truth in the story that
General Miles has applied to be sent to
Manila 1t is equally untrue, it is as
serted by Acting Secretary Meiklejohn,
that General Otis has cabled that he
will will be compelled to retreat unless
promptly reinforced.

TRAILING THE MAN WHO
ROBBED THE ALAMEDA
Conclusive Proof That the Purloiner
of Gold Has Escaped to the
Orient.

HONOLULU, June 18.-It is almost
certain that the chest of $4,000 in gold
lost from the steamship Alameda left
the ship at this port. In fact, Marshal
Brown has in his possession to-day al
most conclusive evidence that such was
the case The man who, it is believed,
robbed the ship is also known, but has
fed beyond the pale of Hawaiian law.
He is now in Japan, and eventually
may be caught, for the Oceanic Steam
ship Company has a powerful detective
agency on his tracks.
The man is supposed to be Wilson, an
Australian. He has been suspected of
other such robberies between Sydney
and Auckland When the Alameda
sailed from Australia, this man was a
passenger for San Francisco. He left
the boat here on the 25th. On June 1st
he sailed by the Gaelic for the Orient.
Marshal Brown does not know just
how the thief brought his treasure
ashore, but the transfer Is admittedly
not a hard matter 1t is presumed the
thief had accomplices and they brought
1t off on a number Of visits aboard the
ship at the dock. The coin would
weigh about 100 pounds
The loss of the money was discovered
when the Alameda was within two days
of San Francisco. The densest cloud of
mystery surrounded the disappearance
of the box. Chief Lees of the San Fran
cisco police took a chance shot and
wrote Marshal Brown the bare particu
lars The latter Immediately began an
investigation with the success here re-
ported.
By the steamer to-day the San Fran
cisco Chief of Police will be advised
he has gone to the Orient and probably
a detective will at once be sent to
japan and China. The supposition here
is that the man will double back and
in a few weeks will be ranching or do
ing something else in an out-of- the
way Australian district.
