GLOVE IMPORTERS COMPLAIN
Alleged Objectionable Conduct of a
Consul in Germany.

The complaint of glove importers liz
New York that Verne E. Jay. United
States Consul Agent at Sonneberg. Ger
many, has gone into the glove business
and has advertised that he will undersefl
exporters to whose invoices he has access,
have not been received by the State De-
partment. officials of the Department are
inclined to believe that the complaint is
connected with another matter OF which
they have official knowledge. Sonneberg
is an agency OF the consulate at Coburg.
where Oliver J. D. Hughes represents the
United States Consul Hughes recently
complained against the action OF Frank n.
Mason, United States Consul General at
Berlin. in Consolidating" eonsignmelts OF
gloves made in Coburg and Sonneberg.
Consolidating" is a term applied to the
practice Of a consular representative in
receiving shipments OF articles from other
consular districts and permitting export
ers to select from them -rch as he desires
to send to the United States. The consular
officer at whose post the selections are
made. signs the invoices ard receives the
required fees while the consular officers
Of the districts whence the goods came
lose just that much money.
Consul Hughes eontended that this sys-
TEN worked a great pecuniary disadvan-
tage to himself while it brought money
to Mr. Mlsons pocket The State Depart
ment is Inclined to agree with this eon-
tention. but the Treasury Department rec
ognizes Consolidating as right and proper,
and accepts the invoices signed by con-
sular officers who conform to the practice.

CANADIAN LABOR TROUBLES.
Two Alleged Riot Leaders Under
Arrest at MuEOE.

MONTREAL. Aug. 1T is comparative
ly quiet At Magog this morning. Only
about $50 Ct the loco employees went back
to work yesterday. and about the same
number returned today. An effort is being
made to obtain weavers elsewhere. Mr..
Whitehead addressed the men yesterday,
calling upon them to come back to work
and promising that he would investigate
their grievances. The men say that that
would be useless. as the mills will soon
close for repairs and they demand an in
vestigation now. 1t appears that Mr..
Whitehead made q proposition to the com
mittee last Friday, which was not reported
to the strikers.
Two of the leaders are under arrest. a
warrant is out for another. and the others
refuse to act, so that the men are now
leaderless. 1t is generally believed, there
fore. that settlement will be reached in
a few days. Though there is sympathy
with the mems grievances. the weavers
are condemned for their conduct since the
strike.
As a result OF the rioting yesterday
several arrests were made, the prisoners
including the two leaders, Napoleon Mar
cheterrl and Paul Lavoie. An attempt was
made to rescue the two men when they
were being sent TO Sherbrooke Jail last
night, but the militia fixed bayonets and
drove the weavers back. Impassioled ap-
peals were made by man named Bois-
vert for another ettempt, but without sue
cess. man named ArchauIbault- was
wounded The vigorous measures taken
are expected to prevent further trouble.

The first Democratic banner OF the cam
paign of 1900 to be displayed in the Dis
trict of Columbia was unfurled by The
Times yesterday morning. 1t swings above
Tenth Street, between the Hutchins Build
ing and the Williams corner. The banner,
which in size is thirty by twenty feet,
bears large portraits in oil Of Bryan and
Stevenson. There are four Of these por-
traits, two being on the north and two on
the south face. The field Of the banner is
wide mesh net. swung on heavy manila
rope, with guy lines run in hanks at the
lower corners.
The work of suspending the banner was
watched by an interested crowd OF per-
sons, and all day the heads of passers-by
were tilted backward. that they might look
upon the first political banner OF the cam
aaign. Washington Democrats say that
tho fact that Bryan and Stevenson ban
ner is first to be unfuried in the city is
favorable omen. They recall that in 1884
and in 1892 the Democratic banner was the
