been very impudont He and Goldwire had
dispute on leaving Albany the previous

cd him not to do so again, as he would
get hurt.
On the arrival of the train at Triton

Made Charges of Cruelty Against
Their Captain.

Norfolk, Va, Aug 30.-Acting British
Consul R. F. Baldwin to-day investigat-
ed charges of cruelty against Capt A
Hammond of the British governments
chartered collier Claiming, preferred by
sixteen members of the ships crew, who
desired their discharge.
The Claiming is now at Lamberts

him overheard while the Claiming was

then prevented him from reporting the
matter to the South American authori-
ties. William Yapp, a coal passer, claim
ed that he was compelled to work while
suffering with blood-poisoned leg.
Thomas Ford, another coal passer, claim
ed that he was compelled to work while
suffering with a very sore hand.

WAGES MAY BE REDUCED.
Reductions Contemplated for Cotton
Will Operatives.

Boston, Aug. 3O-A statement was sent
out from Clinton to-day that general
wage reduction in New England cotton
mills is contemplated. The report could
not be verified here
4 reduction in wages is under consider
alton In Fall River. but as yet no decision
has been positively announced, though
treasurers representing 100000 spindles
have agreed to a reduction plan.
Should wages be reduced in that city it
is thought many manufacturers elsewhere
may take up the wage question, but as
far as can be learned here no action has
yet been decided upon.
Considerable secrecy is maintained at
Fall River concerning the proposed re-
duction because of feared objections from
some stockholders opposed to a reduc-
ton at this time, and for fear of the
effect on trade. Opponents of the plan
fear that at the time when there is no
demand for goods, a reduction cannot
solve the market problem which con-
fronts mill men to-day. Curtailment of
productic n is the only means OF relieving
the market, thus creating a demand.
