SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE
GRANITE CUTTERS AND MANUFAC c.
 TURERS ARE AGREEING,
of Places-Prospect That the Entire DeIay--No Anxiety Manifested on Either Side.

Boston, March 1.-The strike of the New England granite cutters threaten ed three months ago and begun this morning at the order of the national union did not so thoroughly stop bus mess as expected nor did the first day end in anxiety. The cutters and man. ufacturers at many places have met half way in compromise figures and an agreement seems probable with little delay.
 Last night the cutters at Barre, Vt., accepted the manufacturers offer of an eight hour day with an average of 35 cents per hour in place of the mini mum of $3 per day, as the union de- mands. The actual terms of this agree ment have been questioned, however, and until the other manufacturers as certain definitely whether the 35 cents at Barre is minimum or average hourly wage the strike will remain in force.
 Although the unions demand, written in definite terms, was made on the manufacturers months ago it did not hesitate to sanction compromise offers and this willingness to reach a settle ment is in a point in their favor. In- terest to-day centered in Quincy with it's 2,500 union cutters. It at once de- veloped that no opposition is made to the eight hour day in any quarry in New England. The Quincy manufac- turers offered minimum of thirty three cents per hour, which the union committee refused to entertain, insist ing on their gement-thirty-fiv cents minimum. It is likely that the settlement in Quincy will end all trou- ble throughout New England, but if Quincy granite yards remain still, from 5000 to 1000 journeymen cutters will in.

BOER ARMY CONFRONTS ROBERTS.
British Cavalry in Touch With Them
 Roberts Prevents Buttlc.


 Paardeberg, orange Free State, Feb. 2S-It is understood that seven thou sand Boers are concentrating on the British front. The British cavalry are in touch with them to the eastward and skirmishing began this morning. It ap- pears that an action was about to begin with the Boer endorsements at the moment of General Cronje's surrender, but Lord Roberts forbade it until all the prisoners should be in safe keeping.
 Lord Roberts addressed the Canadi- ans afterwards, expressing in the strongest terms his pleasure and appre- citation of their splendid work and cour age. He attributed to them the great est share in the Boer surrender.
 Commandant Albrecht describes the British strategy up to the battle of Ma gersfontein as stupid and almost in- sane" He says there were only four thousand men in the MagerSfontell trenches and that only half of these were engaged in actual fighting. He praises the strategy of Lord Roberts, but says that the war is by no means ended, as there are still 75000 republi- cans in the field. General Cronjes sur render according to Albrecht, was due to a blunder in locking up his men in hole instead of occupying kopjes, Com mandant Wolmarane, however, C0nsid- CTS it hopeless for the Boers to continue fighting in the present circumstances.

 Gas Company's store Windows.
 A most interesting exhibit of antique lamps, burners and other lighting ap- paratus is shown in the windows of the New Haven Gas company's store on Crown street. Some of the articles ex- hibited are very old and are indeed curious. The contrast between the im- proved lighting methods of to-day and those old torches and mere firefys com pared with modern electric and Wels- bach lights is brought vividly to mind The various lamps shown are labeled with cards showing the period when ap- paratus of that kind were used. The collection is valuable one and is prob- ably one of the most complete of the kind in the state. It attracts much att tention and even during he rain yester- day the sidewalks in front of the store window was crowded with interested spectators.

learn to speak the language to depend upon
them to spread it among the rural popula-
ton. This may not meet with expectation
of hot-house growth in the knowledge, both
of American political institutions and of the
language which Americans speak, but it
will probably bring better results
Another suggestion which | have heard
and which seems to have force IS that the
educators from the United States, who are
charged with the evolution of a common
school system in Porto Rico, should them
selves know at least one other language
than English. Spanish would be the more
valuable. but this Is not essential, because
the educator who has acquired a foreign
tongue will have a better conception what
it means to carry forward a system of pop
ular instruction which must inevitably be
based on two languages. There will neces-
sarily be some mixture of Spanish ideas in
the development of the common school sys-
tenn of Porto Rico, yet it will be possible to
follow in the main the American ideas. And
this is likely to be easier If the direction of
the system is In the hands of educators who
know what it Is to think in two languages

Eggs Without Shells.
From the London Mail.


An interesting paragraph in the report on
the trade of Italy for the years 1888 and
1899. by Sir George Bonham, secretary to
her majesty's embassy at Rome, describes
the system adopted for the expectation of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell Is
removed, and the interior of the egg-white
and yolk together-is packed in alright
vessels or drums. containing each 600 eggs.
Great care is taken to insure the eggs being
fresh, and to exclude the air, as one bad
egg spoils all the remainder and renders
the consignment unstable. The new svs-
tenn has the advantage of removing the risk
of breakage. and is also preferred by the
pastry cooks for whose use they are in
tended. AS to the extent of the trade In
eggs. the report mentions that in 1897 Rus
STA exported to England over 35i, 600 600.
