LADY RAGLAN POSES.
Crowds Turn Out to See Her at Three,
 pence a Head.

London, Aug 22.-Wearing her cor onation robes, Lady Raglan, wife of the former under secretary for war, exhibited herself yesterday at her country house in Beckenhanl. An ad. mission fee of threepence was charged and the funds go to the cottage hos pital.
 Five hundred of her ladyship's neigh bors and many families of country peo- pie and tradespeople in Beckenham and Bromley took tickets. A small red- haired girl, guarded by policeman, took tickets, at the gate. She shouted:
 This way to where her ladyship is receiving guests; now please go right in.' ~
 Then she ushered them into a small drawing room. / In the farthest corner Lady Raglan was seated by an escri- toire She was dressed in her white satin state robes with her crimson cloak, her coronet and the rope of pearls.
 The guests stood silent in open mouthed wonder at q respectful dis tance. Now and then Lady Raglan would rise and sweep her train across the floor. giving a view of her scarlet cloak and bringing murmurs of ad A0SAOd dhd 1duudtOAy GOauuuCuLS 1IOLu the crowd
 The guests then went to the lawn, where tea was served at small tables at an extra charge of threepence.
 Lady Raglan conversed freely with her guests regarding the necessity of supporting charitable institutions She seemed to be anxious that her guests should take in all the details of her costume, even showing the coronation medal, which was presented to peers and peeresses. The hospital will bene- fit considerably as result of the show.
 It is likely that the example of Lady Raglan in exhibiting herself in her cor onation robes will be followed by sev. eral peeresses in aid of charitable un- dertakings. It is reported that Lord and Lady Harris will exhibit their robes at a bazaar in Belmont, Kent. next week
 The latest coronation ode published was written by General Sir George Stewart White, the defender of Lady smith.

STOPPED OPERATIONS.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug -Skagway dispatches say that although the sSkgaway-.Iuneau cable is not broken. the government crew of experts have stopped operations toward repairs and given up the proposition in despair. The trouble arises chiefly from great kinks in the line, which was so loosely laid that it went to the bot tom in coils The insulation has been broken in So many places that an en- tire. new cable seems necessary. The line is 100 miles long. It was laid last fall, but has been operated but a few weeks.

TROUBLE AT AMERICAN MILLS
Girl Employees Tell Why They Stopped
 Work.

I C3 l There is another strike in the plant of the American Mills company.
 Yesterday afternoon about twenty
 young ladies, who are employed in the
 Warp1ng room, of which Mr Steer
 IS foreman, quit and left the shop EThey are still out. Only one remain. ed at work and she said that she could not afford to leave her work.
 I A Democrat reporter had an inter-
 view with one of the women to-day
 and she expressed herself as follows:
 We were formerly given an allow I ance for bad work but for the past I two or three weeks no allowance has been made. Consequently our en- l velopes are short three or four dol lars at the end of the week. Before we could make fairly good wages, S9 or $10, but now we can make only S4 or $5 and we wouldn't work for any such pay. Oh, yes, there is a big difference in that room since our former foreladies, Miss Miller and Miss Splain, resigned their positions. l Everything passed along smoothly then, but since they left we have had to work much harder. Our former superintendent, Stephen IT. Baldwin, is away. Yes, it looks as if the new superintendent, Mir McKnapp. had something to do with the changed con ditions."
 A Democrat reporter called at the office of the company this afternoon but was unable to sec Archer IT smith, the secretary and treasurer as he was out of town Superintendent McKnapp was at dinner. To oues- ton from the reporter young man in the office replied that there was no strike. Afterwards he remarked that it was true twenty young ladies had left yesterday afternoon. The reporter remarked that there must have been some reason for their dissatisfaction but he, said that there wasn't excent that they thought they were not mak- ing enouglla and therefore left. sTf the girls don't want to work. we don't care. We can get others. The com pany will not ask them to come back ana | couldn't say whether the com nany would take them back or not j, He persisted in saving +hat there had been no changes in me treatment Of the girls and wound up his remarks with the statement that he had noth- ing to say.
 The American Mills company is hav- ing more than it's share of strikes late ". 1t is only few wees ago that there were rumors of an impending strike there. Last year the company had one or two strikes. There have been several changes recently through out the shop. one of which was the ap- pointment of new superintendent MT NcKnapp. From what one hears the employees of the concern have not the same regard for him as they had for their former superintendent MT Baldwin

DUTLE IN NEW HAVEN
To Confer With Sargent Waterbury Man Presents Resolution.

| Bridgeport, Aug 22.--Nicholas Dutle president of the International union of Buffers, Polishers, Platers, Brass l Workers, with George Leary and M l Cushing of Elizabeth, N. J., went to New Haven to-day as a committee ap- l pointed by the union to confer wieh the Sargent x Co people with reference to the grievances existing in that fac tory. The union has agreed to stand by the employees of Sargent x Co in the enforcement of the agreement which terminated the strike.
 The grievances which were brought before the convention by the brass workers in the employ of the Wheeler & Wilson Go of this city were also re- ferred to committed The brass work CTS in this factory allege that they are obliged to curry the favor of the con, tractors in distasteful ways. The com mlttee Is now in conference with the factory managers. It developed that the real cause of the grievance was the belief by the employees that man had been discharged because he was a union workman.
 The greater part of the mornings session was taken up with report of the committee on laws The invitation of the St Louis locals to hold the next convention there was placed on file The anti-military resolution offered yes terday by Eugene Whitman of this city caused a lot of comment. The resolu ton is not supported to any extent and the censure bestowed upon Whitman may be made formal and official before the session adjourns. Some have sug- gested his expulsion.
 
 The following resolution was sub- mitted by John Flanagan of this city:
 When there are three or more local unions in any city or town, compris- ing membership of TOO members in good standing. there shall be formed a metal trades council which shall have the power to appoint local bus mess agent, whose duties shall be to look after the business and interests of all the local unions and their members. Said business agent to be paid $40OO a month by the International; the bal- ance of salary to be paid by the local unions. The business agent will be subject to the call of all the other un- ions which have not enough members to entitle them to business agent The International shall not pay the share of $4000 per month unless there are TOO members in good standing. Any local calling for the services of any business agent shall pay his transpor- tation and expenses incurred to the metal trades council which employs shim''
