Troubles Is Looked for Between
British Masters and Operatives.

LONDON. March 23.-The Speaker to-
day says there are unmistakable signs
the operatives in the cotton trade, A uer-
iod of trade activity has been followed
by reaction. accelerated by high prices
OF raw cotton and other materials, a poor
demand from India and an almost COM
plete stoppage of buying from China Fhe
Lancashire spinners and Weavers have
held out longer than their rivals in the
United States or on the continent. but the
rapid closing down of the mills shows
their turn is coming and as the Ameri-
can crop is likely to be insufficient even
for the reduced consumption. there is not
raw cotton to invigor the demand for
yard cloth. If some agreement WHEREBY
wages may be adjusted according to the
state. of trade is not soon concluded de-
-elining profits will force the masters to
reduce wages.

stupendou. Tunnel Problem.

The Corks Run tunnel problem, says
the Pittsburg Post, is one OF the most
~stupendons that confronts the mana
gers of the Pennsylvania systsIi at
present and they have about decided
to let the congested underground pas
sage remain as 1t Is and build a new
line for coal traffic down the CHARTERS
Valley TO Esplen. where a connection
will be made with the Ohio connecting
bridge. so that all coal traffic and all
freight destined for the TT. Wayne sys-
tenn al be handled that way and the
tunnel relieved. There are few rail-
road men in the United States outside
of the offices of the r., c. & st. L., who
realize the conditions that exist be-
tween Pittsburg and Carnegie on that
road. The traffic is tremendous and
the typographical conditions are such
as make it impossible to widen the
Right of way for the four tracks, which
are so badly needed. The long tunnel.
which extends for $500 feet under the
hill between Sheradea and Birmingham.
was first built for a single track and
the original work cost almost 81 ,000.-
300. II was next widened for two
tracks at an expense of $500. 900, and
now there is necessity for n new tun-
mel or a new road, which will cost at
least 81 SOC, 900.

Local News From the city of Mills

One of the main topics of CONVERSE
ton yesterday was the action of Coun-
ell Tuesday night. AS Was stated in
the Register, the Ordinance committee
held a meeting Monday night, and made
some changes in the ordinance, and or
dered the City Solicitor to formulate
same to be presented at the meeting.
But a surprise was sprung; the Ohio
Rapid Transit Company changed their
ordinance slightly and was with sever
al members of Council the afternoon
before the meeting. When the ordi-
nance was brought up the amendments
ordered drawn by the city solicitor were
thrown aside, and the advice OF the So
licitor was not needed. Seven mem
bers of the Council could hardly wait
until they had passed an ordinance
and had only heard it read once. 1t is
doubtful il they really understood the
ordinance. City Solicitor Cooke wash
ed his hands of thu affair, and the
quick change Of tie minds of these
councilmen, will have to be explained
by themselves. The Ohio Rapid Tran
sit Co., is all right and will be built and
that is what the citizens of Martins
Ferry desire. 1t will also give the
Wheeling merchants a better chance to
secure the trade of this city. This val
liable franchise was given away with
haste, yet this august body would turn

"A man boarded a Missouri Pacific
train equipped with transportation
which Dad Walsh, the conductor,
thought was questionable. says the

fused to put up the cash fare, and
Walsh called the porter and carried
him from the train, depositing him on
a truck on the station platform. The
man took it so nonchalantly that 1t oc-
CURED to Walsh that he might be max
ing a mistake. He accordingly went
back to the passenger and told him he
might get aboard again.

didn't get off the train. and theoretically
I'm still riding. In the nature of things
| cannot well board a train upon which
| am already riding" and he sat on the
truck as obstinate as a mule.
Walsh called the brakeman and por-
ter and carried the man carefully onto
the train. put him DIN the seat which
he had been riding before the incident
occurred and saved his road a damage
suit.

FORTUNATE E
Wheeling N Lake Erie Train Meets
With an Accident ON a ridge.

Last evening the Wheeling 4 Lake Erie
passenger train which reaches this city at
CSC O'Clock, met with an accident while
crossing bridge No. eos. between Warren
and Dillonvale, delaying the train over
five hours. The accident was a fortunate
one and only by the quick action of the
engineer was an accident with the loss or
life averted. The train was approaching
the bridge and one OF the wheels on the
tender broke. but the engineer stopped his
engine on the bridge, whaeh caused no
wreck. owing TO the remote place where
the accident occurred, 1t required several
hours TO secure the wrecking crew to re-
pair the accident. Had the train not been
stopped, IL probably would have pitchea
into the creek. a distance OF about thirty
feet. The passengers on the train were
much excited. but soon quoted down when
they learned the extent of the accident.

Ball players were plenty around the
hotel. and were willing TO talk business,
and the new magnates really looked pros
porous. compared to the modest looking
crowd who attend tine meetings OF the
National league.
Even Ben Shibe, the old-timer, braced
up. and was young again. mixing up with
his hired men In go0 style. In fact, IL is
a meeting where player. magnate and fan
meet on common ground, and the air was
fairly blue with baseball talk.
As near as could be learned the Amerl-
can league will not change it's playing
rules OF last season, and Will give the
public a chance TO see two different sets
of rules In operation In the same city.
President Johnson says the schedule Is
ready, but will not be given out until
tonight. Mr.. Johnson says IL was impos-
sible TO make nonconfiicting schedule,
but he did the very best he could for his
league with an eye TO the public, who no
doubt would like TO see all the teams play
ball.
Boston will play In Washington. Balti-
more and Philadelphia, before going to
Boston TO open the season. where they
will have either the Philadelphia or the
Brooklyn teams TO buck against.
Boston Is the .only city In which the
American league will look for a tough
opposition. Somers gays that IL must be
conceded that the Boston league club is
the strongest In the country, in the way
of backing, but he hopes to make good at
Philadelphia for his losses in Boston,
should he have any.
Some idea may be formed of Mr.. So

game when IL Is known that he gave an
order today for II, 900 tickets To be used
on the Boston grounds.
The clubs were represented as follows:
