Fall River. Mass, Feb5 c7.-As tho
result Of a three hours conference be-
tween the executive board Of the Manu-
facturers' Association and the Fail
River Textile Council representatives,
this afternoon, the final proposition to
the operators. was complete restOrsa-
tiOn of the wage SCALE, prior, to- the
cutdown Of Jan. 3. 1898. The cut ut
that time was one ninth in all depart
mcnts. which meant a decrease Of over
$4,000 in the weekly pay roll OF the mill
workers of the city. The restoration
will date from April Sd next. 3.
The proposition from the manufac-
turers of partial restoration wassprc-
sented in the form of an offer OF a 81.
per cent. raise, to go into effect ON
April next, and the balance to be re-
stored when cloth had advanced to
cents a yard. This proposition was mcf
by the members of the Textile Council
with the argument that the delegates
of the organizations represented. were
instructed to accept nothing short OF
full restoration Of wages.
The argument was advanced on be-
half Of the Manufacturers Association

Columbia Is Favoritc.

New York. Oct. 6-Betting around
town last night seemed to rest with odds
as before on the Columbia There was
no betting of any magnitude. two bets
of 500 to $40 each on the Columbia being
all that were heard of. There is ap-
parently no Shamrock money about, if
the truth must be told. 1t was rumored
that Richard Croker and Andrew Freed
man We're taking the Shamrock end Of
some bets, but this could not be verified
and when Mr.. Croker was seen in the
Hoffman house with Senator Murphy
last night, he seemed rather inclined to
favor the Columbia, on account of her
sailing ability, far as it ce.'- be
judged while the wind held good yester-
day. A few bets on the yacht race were
made on the stock exchange yesterday,
the odds being again in favor of the
Columbia. r. H. Halstead has several
hundred dollars out at 10 to 6 and 10 to Z,
and these We're the prevailing odds yes
terday. One prominent broker offered to
bet $500 even on the Columbia winning
the series. but was una BILE to place his
money. 1t was said last night that
money on the Columbia was being put
in Boston at to j. with little Shamrock
money at even these figures.

Schley-Sampson Row.

New York, Oct. Ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley may not resubmit to the
senate the nominations of Rear Admirals
Schley and Sampson for advancement
in recognition of the victory at Santiago
The administration is disposed to avoid
a renewal of the bitter contest between
friends of the two officers and may finally
decide to let the matter drop. When
Rear Admiral Sampson was here he
talked with Secretary Long on the matter
of resubmitting the nominations. He is
naturally gratified at the support re-
ceived from the admnistra ton, but does
not want to embarrass the president or
secretary. Rear Admiral Schley has
many friends who will support his ella inns
for recognition, and some Of them may
propose bill creating the grade of vice
admiral. in the hope that the president
will appoint him to the position.
Because of the South African situation.
it is planned to get the Chicago ready for
sea as soon as possible and the work of
repairing that vessel will be expedited.
1t is stated that the selection of the
cruiser Brooklyn as flagship of the
Asiatic station was specially recon-
mended by Admiral Dewey. Admiral
Schley wanted his old flagship for the
South Atlantic station, and the vessel
might have been sent but for Admiral
Dewey's suggestion. At the request Of
Captain p. H. Cooper he has been de-
tached from the command of the Brook
lyn. His successor will be announced in
few days.

in Music hall with ,754 delegates present.
Colonel Melvin was elected permanent
chairman and delivered a speech in
which he commended the republican ma
tional and state administra tons The
platform was received with applause and
unanimously adopted. On the subject of
finances the platform says the republican
party stands unreservedly pledged to
maintain the existing gold standard. The
platform opposes trusts: endorses the ma
tiona administration and commends the
tact, skill and statesmanlike spirit with
which President Mckinley has handled
the problems arising from the war with
Spain. The administration Of the navy
department by Secretary Long is particu
larly commended. Lieutenant James W.
Murray Crane was nominated for gov
ernor by acclamation. as was also Cen
eral Cuhtis Guild. Jr., for lieutenant gov
ernor. Hosea NJ. knowlton was nomin-
ated for attorney general.

A BRIBERY CHARGE.
Special to the Inter Mountain,

Special to the Inter Mountain.
kalispell. Mont. Oct Ga warrant
was issued out Of Justice NJ. ]. Sullivan's
court yesterday for the arrest of Fred
Whiteside upon the charge of attempted
bribery. The complaining witness is b.
w. S. Folk, who was last fall chief dep.
uty county clerk and recorder. The
complaint charges Whitesde with Offer
ing Mr.. Folk $1,000 if the latter would
allow him to open up the election returns
before they We're canvassed by the coun-
ty canvassing board. Whiteside was
candidate on the democratic ticket in
this county last fall and the election was
very close and there was considerable
doubt as to whether Whiteside or his op-
ponent, John H. Geiger, was elected.
The canvassing board gave the Office to
Whitesde. but subsequently the state
senate investigated the mater and cam
vassed the returns itself, with the result
that Whiteside was unseated and Mr..
Geiger was declared the duly elected
senator from Flathead.
Justice Sullivan Immediately issued a
warrant for Whiteside's arrest and the
paper was handed to the sheriff for SER
vice. Whiteside, was in Helena the
first part of the week attending a hear
ing in his libel suit and it is thought the
officers will catch him in that city to-day.

with deeper expressions of disappoint-
ment and a shade greater confidence in
the Shamrock's ability to win the cup.
The Daily News expresses the opinion
that the fate of the cup will be decided
by the next event. The Daily Chronicle
and Daily Mail advocate abolition of the
time limit. declaring that otherwise the
present generation may not live to see
the result of the contest. The Chronicle
suggests that the first yacht TO cross the
line-Say before sundOWn-should be de-
clared the winner. The Daily Mail again
refers to the regal manner in which Sir
Thomas Upton and the others of his
party are entertained and says: I'VE are
convinced that it is no mere impulse of
the moment, but a clear sign that the
Anglo american alliance is no empty

Will Be a Short War.

New York, Oct. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Paris says: John Hays
Hammond, the American civil engineer
connected with leading South African
mining companies, who returned from
the Cape two months ago. after brief
holiday in the Tyrol is now passing a
few days in Paris. The expressions of
Mr. Hammond concerning the situation
in South Africa are interesting, he enjoy
ing unsurpassed knowledge enabling him
thereby to grasp the situation. AS to the
justice of the war, Mr. Hammond did
not wish to express an opinion but when
asked whether the war would be short
or long one. said
1T will be a short war ending with the
capture of Pretoria. after which the
Beers will recognize the futility of fur
ther fighting. The Beers today are not
as formidable fighters as they We're l5
years ago. For example, their former
enormous advantage in craftsmanship
over the British troops no longer exists
because. game having to a great extent
disappeared, the Beers have no expcr-
lence in shooting a moving object. A
few old soldiers are still good shots but
they are fast dying out Moreover, the
BRUSH Lee-Metford rifles With it's re-
markable fiat trajectory puts Tommy At
kins quite on an equality with the Beers
so far as craftsmanship is concerned
Quasi friends of the Beers delude them
into the belief that Great Britain would
not resort to war in any event and un-
fortunately, thereby provoking spirit of
opposition to the British demands, re-
sulting in the present diplomatic impasse
which l fear makes war inevitable En-
by the present weakness of the
British garrisons. the Beers evidently
hope to occupy strategic positions and
by rapidly assuming the defensive deal
telling blows before the arrival of the
bulk OF the British army"
