TOO SHREwD FOR RUSSIANS.
American Pump Maker Justified i'm
Not Trusting the Cars officials.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 25.-New Illus
~trat;ons OF the determination of the gov
eminent TO prevent the use of ~foreign-made
goods in any public works come to light
almost daily. The newspapers this week
print circulars from the minister of rail-
ways and the minister of education direct
ing attention TO orders from the finance
minister against the use of foreign rail-
way materials and educational supplies.
When the required articles cannot be had
IN Russia the higher authorities must be
consulted before an order can be given to
q foreign manufacturer or an importer.
Another instance is furnished by the deci-
sion TO complete the naphtha pipe line from
Baku To BatOum. 1t ends now In the noun
tainS. When the first section was built IL
was desired TO use Russi@- humps. but IL
was found that no Russian concern could
turn out the article needed. The order was
thereupon, by special ukase of the En-
pcror. given TO an American house. The
price was cut down pretty low. on the
ground, IL Is said, that the same company
would naturally get the order for the see
ond section. and that. having models and
drawings all ready, the expense to il of
making the additional pumps would be con-
Siderably leSsened. The American comDapv
Is not accustomed 90 depend on romises
and took the precaution TO build plmns Of
unique design for this pipe line and TO nat
ent its plans and protect its models. liz Is
how about 10 reap the reward of its fore
sight. tn order has gone forth that none
but Russian materials are TO be used. Invi-
tatiOns TO bid for pumps were sent to none
but Russian houses. However. as the
pumps must match those now used the
successful bidder has had to come 20 the
Americans and make terms for the use OF
their plans and drawings.

Proposition to Cut the Pay of Opera
ed without a Dissenting Vote.
TO TAKE EFFECT ON SEPT. 3
WEAyE7zs SAID TO BE IN FAVOR OF
RESISTING THE REDUCTION.
Resolutions Promising support and
Expressing sympathy for Steel
Workers Adopted by Printers.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. l2.-The Fall
River cotton manufacturers this evening,
at a meeting for the purpose of discussing
the question of wage reduction. unanimous
ly voted 10 reduce the wages to a basis
of II cents for weaving. the reduction to
go into effect Sept. {. This is about a
IA per cent. cut, the present price of weav-
ing being 1913 cents. The vote was unani-
nous with one exception, this man vot-
ing against the reduction only on the ques-
ton as to the amount. An agreement Will
be drawn up for signature and will be
passed by the executive committee of the
association. 1t will require a representa-
ton of 100, 0O0 spindles to max an agree
ment to reduce wages operative. At the
meeting and voting there were represent
atives of nearly 12O. 600 spindles.
The manufacturers agreed in the state
nent that the only objections offered had
to do with the amount and the time OF
the reduction itself. A very significant
fact i'm connection with the meeting was
the absence of Simeon h. Chase, the senior
of the King Philip mills, and George IL.
Hills. the senior of the Davol mills. The

In the event of a resistance 10 the cut

OF more SERIOUSLY 'hal any.nlns e.9
connection with the proposition, 1t is not
thought that the fine goods mills will be
asked to assist in the fight in order to
make the reduction agreement operative.
If the reduction is opposed il Is expected,
of course. that these mills will aid the 9TH
ers in other ways.
Representatives of the various labor or
ganizations in Fall River met directly after
the announcement of the action OF the
Manufacturers Association, and a meeting
of the textile council was called for next
Thursday night. At that meeting a plan
of action and perhaps of resistance will
be formulated and the matter discussed.
The labor men say they do not believe
the operatives will accept the reduction.
In regard to the adoption of a sliding scale,
which was agitated some time ago, 1t is
not expected that the operatives Will ac-
cept it.
talked over the movement of the associa-
ton, and the sentiment seemed to be In
favor of resisting.

Irish VI. P.'s Pleased.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The government was
defeated In the House of Commons tonight
In the course of the debate on the factory
bill. The House supported by 163 TO 11 a
proposal, opposed by the government, that
textile factories should close at noon in
stead Of o'clock p. m, as now. The oppo-
sition and the Irish members cheered wild
w. Mr.. Richey. the home secretary. an
nounced that the government would accept
the decision. Timothy Healy, amid laugh
ter. remarked that the home secretary had
shown great resignation, but not the sort of
resignation the House wanted.
The House passed to a second reading the
Pacific catse bill by a vote OF 1873 TO 80. In
the course of the debate James c. Flynn.
Nationalist. who opposed the bill, made a
personal attack on the colonial secretary
and upon Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal. j. Austen Chamberlain, who fol-
lowed. declined to notice the attack upon
his father. but said he thought it a cruel
thing TO east reflections upon Lord Strath-
coma and Mount Royal. because the latter
had been selected by Canada 10 sit on the
cable board.

cles explaining how, If Ireland were only
represented In proportion TO the other parts
Of the United Kingdom she would send to
the House OF Commons about thirty fewer

gaining ground that the government medi-
tates making this the principal business

MANY LOSE POSITIONS.
Effect of the Abolition of the Porto
Rican Customx-Starvation.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Aug. 5.-The removal of the
tariff on goods brought into Porto Rico
from the United States has made a reduc-
ton in the number of customs employees
necessary. Thirty-one men were notified
that their services would not be needed
after Aug. Is. and two transfers were made.
Ten lost their heads ar San Juan, seven at
Ponce, five at MayagueZ, three at Arecibo,
two at Aguadilla, two at Arrayo, one at
Humacao and one at FaJardo.
Several deaths have occurred recently
near Patillas, in the eastern part of the
island. which are said TO be due 10 starva-
ton. The sanitary conditions Of Patillas
are extremely vile. There are no beds or
cots. The inmates swing in or
have a nest" In one corner OF the room.
AS the municipality is in straitened cir
cumstances ii is impossible TO relieve these
conditions. An exceedingly large percent
age of deaths in this district are from star
walton. This is considered rather strange
in view of Porto Rico's reputed prosperity.

GOMEZ'S
Palma for President and Maso for
Vice President of Cuba.

HAVANA, Aus. 12.-Gen. Maxine Gomez
has addressed a letter 10 the local commit
tee of the National party in Havana who
had chosen him as a candidate for the vice
presidency. The communication runs In
part as follows:
o hearing what the committee has done
/ hasten to say that [ must refuse to UNI
dertake such high office under the republic.
So far as candidates are concerned. l look
upon Senior Estrada Palma and Senior Maso
as the best selections that could be made
for the presidency and vice presidency. Let
all Cubans agree upon this important mat
ter and Cuba will have a strong and stable
government, entirely fitted to deal with the
external relations in which Cuba will have
to exist as a republic
A movement, backed by a number of the
revolutionary generals, was started some
time ago to endeavor to make Senior Palma
the unanimous choice of the people for the
presidency. simultaneously overtures were
made to Senior Maso with a view of per-
suading him TO accept the vice presidency.
1t Is asserted, however, that thus far Senior
Maso has declined to fall in with this plan,
as he relies on the negro vote to elect him
President.
