The lower edge of a bodice is often a

it at all, and how to put on a binding.

trim the edges evenly with large
sharp scissors, and then haste Tin or

bodice is to be worn outside of skirt a

Nicely. RATRBONE ET AL.
No Plan Of Action Vel Decided on in Settling
the Cases.

Washington, Jan. 1T is said al the
war department that no plan of action
has been decided upon with reference
to the cases of Nicely, Rathb0ne, ct al.
in connection with the Cuban postal
frauds in anticipation Of the decision
of the supreme court i'll the Nicely case
involving the question of the jurisdic-
ton of the United States in Cuban af-
fairs.
The statement was made, however,
that the eases undoubtedly would b.
prosecuted in this country in tn" posi-
bic event that tho supreme court should
decide against the cXtradition Of Nicely.
In what manner this would he done
was not explained but it was stated
that Nicely might possibly be tried in
New York on the charge on which ne
was arrested, viz: bringing stolen
goods into this country, if ii should b"
decided that he could not be sent to
Cuba for trial on the charge of enbcZ-
zling public funds.

render. Work Will Resume. Today.

Halifax, n. s., Jan. 3.-The collieries
strike in Pictou collapsed, today, by the
unconditional surrender of the opera
tors. The strike was the shortest on
record for such a decisive result, hav-
ing lasted three days. Had the owners
answer not been given, today, the
LOO miners of Spring Hill would have
ceased work, tomorrow, and went out
with their Pictou brethren. Accord
ingly the coal mine managers of the
province met. this morning, at Truro,
and after being several hours in ses-
sion they adjourned after reaching II
decision to grant the demands of the
men.
The decision was Immediately COM
mun!cated to the representatives of the
strikers at the Drummond mines and
they viii resume work, tomorrow.
The Acadia mines cannot be re-
opened for few days. as the fires are
out and the horses has been removed
from the pits. The workmen there will
meet the manager again, tomorrow, for
q final agreement. The increase of
wages is l. per cent. and applies to all
employees, miners and laborers alike
and both OVer-ground and under
ground hands. This makes - per cent
Increase of wages, the employees of the
coal mines have received in four
months, an original 10 per cent. having
been applied for ana conceded in Sep
TENDER last.
The Spring Hill workmen, although
they remained at work, will receive the
II per cent. increase, but it is doubtful
if the Cape Breton miners viii share
the benefit, as they showed no dispo-
sition to assist the strike.
In Spring Hill the monthly pay roll
is about $4,000. The Pictou mines dis
tribute $500 more in monthly wages.
The total wages affected by the in
crease is therefore 500 600 monthly.
Good feeling has not been departed
from on either side during the strike
and the deliberations were marked by
courtesy and calm discussion. There is
happiness in the mining towns, tonight.

muir OF dissent, without a word Of COM
ment, the Senate, today, displaced the
snip subsidy bill from its privileged
position as unfinished business" and
substituted for it the army re-organi-

understanding that it should not inter-

It's first session of the Goth century, the
army bill was taken up, with view
OF pressing it to final vote as soon as
possible. It's consideration proceeded
until oclock-the end of the morning

before the Senate.
Mr.. Pettigrcw of South Dakota, then
objected to request for unanimous
consent to continue the discussion of
the army bill. BY a vote of the Sen

Reduction OF Southern Representation Stirs Up
Lively Scene.

Washington. Jan. 3.-The radical clc-
ment among the House Republicans
who favor cutting down the represent
tatiOn from the Southern states in
which the franchise is abridged, suf-
fcred defeat, today, because a number
of their colleagues refused to act with
them. The issue was precipitatcd quite
unexpectedly.
The leaders had decided that the re-
apportionment bill should be taken up,
today, but before it could be carried
Olmstead, Penn, offered as a matter of
privilege a resolution reciting the al
legged abridgement of the suffrage in
Louisiana. Mississippi, South Carolina
and North Carolina, and directing the
committee on census to investigate and
report the facts to the House in order
that a constitutional basis of reprrsen-
tation could be established for these
states.
The, resolution created scnsa ton.
1t was a surprise even to several of
the Republican leaders, The leaders
on the Democratic sidesSought in vain
to head off the resolution with points
of order. but the Speaker ruled against
them. They then began a, filibuster,
openly avowing that they would fight
every proposition looking to the re-
duction of representation from the
Southern states to the bitter end.
Several of the representatives were
secretly in sympathy with them and
their Indifference to the fate of the
Olmstead resolution in the end gave
the opposition the victory of the day.
