Congress is urged to authorize An
expenditure OF 100000 for seamen's
quarters at New York. and at League
Island 100000. TO be made immedi-
ately available.
A mild reproof on congress is con-
tanned in the closing paragraph CT
the report, which calls attention to
the discouraging condition in which
distinguished officers of the navy have
been left by not receiving any formal
recognition for their heroic services
during the war with Spain. The re-
port says that the navy had no part
in the unfortunate public controversy
which followed upon the presidents
recommendation that certain officers
should be promoted. and adds that
thus far there has been no recognition
by congress of those who shared in
elsewhere in the war.
The report further reveals the in.
teresting fact that the monitors Mon
adnock and Monterey are kept in the
Philippines for strengthening the feet
in case OF threat or attack from any
other power"
Admiral Crowninshield also says
that it is the fixed belief that "prac-
tically every battleship and armored
cruiser in our small navy is needed
in full commission
Admiral Crowninshield's remarks
about the Monadnock and Monterey
give an impression different from the
general one. that these vessels might
just as well be kept in the Philippines
as in the United States. for all the
service they can perform in time of
peace.
Admiral Crowninshield's report
therefore shows that the United
States will very likely retain as
strong fleet as possible at all times
in the Philippines to protect them
from foreign aggression. Admiral
Crowninshield does not disclose in his
report. of course, against what nation
or nations the United States is now
reinforcing the Philippine fleet.

Winona this morning received slight
throughout the country, when the local
plumbers walked out on refusal of the
masters to comply with their demand Of
SO day and a nine-hour schedule. The
old scale was $3.50 a day and ten hours.
The strike, however, was of short dura
tion three of the firms within a few
hours of the walk-out complying with the
demand
Owing to some slight grievances the
night crew of freight handlers at the
division freight depot of the Northwest
ern at this point struck last night and
for a while matters assumed a stormy
aspect The day crew We're summoned
to take the place Of the strikers and
when they appeared a free-forau fight
occurred. Several fights resulted, and 1t
was only when the police were summoned
that the men were dispersed. The places
of the strikers were filed with new men
today.
To add to the fuel the city council last
evening passed resolution abandoning
the eight-hour schedule for day labor and
in its place substituting the ten-hour
schedule. Prior to the election this issue
was a potent factor in the election of the
aldermen and their reputation of the
promise last night is causing no little
talk
Next Sunday the local typographical
union will meet, and it is understood that
the enforcement of the nine-hour sched-
ule in all offices will be demanded.

ENTIRE COUNTRY
MANY TRADES ARE INVOLVED
In New England the Demand for an
Elght-HOur Day Was in Sew
eraI Instances Conceded
Central Strike.

BOSTON, May 1.-The eight-hour day
was established today in almost every
district In New England where Journey
men of the building trades have organ
ized, and the concession was obtained
with little friction and only a few strikes
The most widespread demand for the
elght-hour day was made some weeks
ago by the granite cutters throughout
New England, and while at most places
the demands were granted, there were a
few echoes of that contention today The
most important of the strikes in this in
dustry were at Barre, Vt, where the
granite poiishers went out, and con-
ference in the afternoon failed to bring
about settlement. At Lowell an incipi-
ent strike was settled, but small strikes
at Manchester, N H, Sullivan and
Franklin, Me-, and at Fall River, Mass,
are still in force
At Quincy, where the cutters have been
out for three months, a conference today
brought no result. Norcross Bros, of
Worcester, also were unable to settle
with their cutters at the Milford quar-
ries. Otherwise the indications were that
nearly every strike was settled with little
delay.
At Providence, Pawtucket and Boston
there were strikes in other trades, chiefly
| among painters, carpenters and other
branches, but the numbers are not large.
