New York, Aug. 1.-The garment
workers in the eastern district of
Brooklyn have followed the example
of those in the Brownsville district.
Nearly $500 members of the indie
pendent Garment Workers union
went out yesterday. They demand a
ten hour working day, operators to be
paid SIS week, pressers from $12 to
SIS week and finishers from 50 to $12
The tailors struck two years ago, and
the contractors compromised and
practically agreed to grant the de
mands of the men. The strikers say
that the contractors carried out the
agreement for only few months. In
other parts of greater New York the
strike is apparently drawing to close

THE LATE KATE CHASE sPRAGUE.
lum days, when her father, Salmon P.
Chase, then widower, was elected
governor Of Ohio. Her remarkable
beauty and brilliant social qualities
made the executive mansion at Column
bus scene of many brilliant enter
tainments. When Mr.. Chase was made
secretary Of the treasury under Lin
coin, and the family removed here, his
daughter. was soon acknowledged to
be one of the most beautiful women Of
the capital, and her fathers home, over
which she presided, became the center
of the most fashionable and sslect
circles With the outbreak Of the war
she met the young and dashing gov
ernor of Rhode Island, William H.
Sprague. An engagement followed,
and the wedding is said to have been
the nest brilliant ceremony which had
taken place in Washington up to that
date. In the midst, however, of the
social and political success which they
had attained domestic cloud made its
appearance, resulting in divorce.
Mrs. Sprague then made her home at
Edgewood, a handsome country place
which had been left her by her father.
Here she had resided ever since. FL
nancial reverses clouded her later
years, the handsome homestead was
mortgaged and disaster was impend-
ing when year ago old friends came
to her rescue, raised the mortgage and
arranged for her an allowance of SO 900
a year secured on the valuable estate.

eral years consideration conclusion
has practically been reached as to the

The President and the Premier.

Hotel Champain, N. Y, Aug. l.
The story in New York morning
paper to the effect that there is
possibility Of a meeting between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier, premier of Canada, at a point
near the Canada line to confer on the
Alaskan boundary dispute, is hardly
worth denying, The only possible ex-
cuse for the publication of such a story
is the fact that Sir Wilfred Laurier is
expected to visit Hotel Champlain for
stay of couple of weeks after the
Canadian parliament adjourns, which
will probably be in about one week.
II he should come here it is barely
possible that he and the president may
talk over the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton in an informal way, but that any
formal conference will be held on that
subject is not true.

Washington, Aug. Rear Admiral
William T. Sampson has filed a suit
in the supreme court of the district,
libeling the Spanish vessel of war
Maria Teresa and miscellaneous stores
and supplies captured upon her and
other Spanish war vessels. In his bill
he says that he brings the suit in his
own behalf and also in behalf of all
the officers and enlisted men of the
United States who served with the
United States naval force and took
part in the naval engagement off San
tiago de Cuba on July 3, 1898, and in
captures made subsequent thereto.
Admiral Sampson says that the Teresa
was worth $4,000 over and above the
cost of recovery.

Three Hundred Homeless by Flame,

Malone, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The village

wiped out by fire Sunday morning
Save two hotels, the Opera House, the
Catholic church and few struggling
tenement houses on the outskirts, not
a single block or house remains. Not
a business establishment of any kind
escaped The buildings were all of
wood, and, there being no fire protec-
