WILL NOT GIVE ADVANCE
Fall River Yarn Mills Say Operatives
Had Better Retur,

Fall River, Mass, Apri1 9-Ceperal
Superintendent Currier of the New
England Cotton Yarn Co. was in this
city, today, and in reply to questions
SAID tnat there Is not the slightest
chahce that the operatives employed
IN the mllls controlled by the New
England Cotton Yarn Co. will receive
the advance in wages fro which they
are now on strike.
he sald that in view of the present
conditions in the yarn business it
would be fully as cheap and perhaps
cheaper for the mills to shut down than
for them to run. Several warn mills
of the company are shut down on ac-
count of the slack business. he said,
notably the Cohannet mills of Taunton
and the Bennett mills at New Bedford.
The demand for coarse goods is slight
and the mills that are running are
making no profit. They are. being run
simply for the purpose of retaining the
help and to avoid damage to the ma
chinery by stopping.
Mr.. Currier said the only way in
which the strike could be settled was
by the operatives returning to work
at the old scale of wages paid. The
| operatives have shown no signs of do
| ing this and reiterate their statement
that they are entitled to the 10 per
cent. advance granted to the opel "a
| tives in the cloth mills.
| A meeting of the card room en-
ployes of the Globe Yarn mills. one
of the mills of the New England Cot
ton Yarn Co. in this city, has been
! fnr LSr;J ;e
cussiOn of the situation. The mule
spinners in these mills who have neces-
sarily locked out by the strike of the
other operatives are awaiting with in
terest the action of the convention be-
! ing held in Boston this week.
The card room employees of the Cor
nell, Parker and Hargraves are still
out on strike, and there seems to be
no immediate prospect of a settle
ment. The card rooms in these mills
are practically closed. 1t is the ex-
pressed intention of the Carders As
ISOLATION to force the full 10 per cent.
advance from all the mills of the city
and to this end other mills will be
struck as soon as the present difficult
ties are settled.
Another complaint has been filed
with the carders, that of the oper-
atives of the Stevens mill. Their
complaint is similar to, that of the
others-that the advance is not being
paid in full. There has already been
agitation among the employees which
is likely to develop into a strike by the
end of this week. AS result of this
agitation the officials of the mills have
threatened to mt in machines in GER
tain departments where the operatives
are now doing the work. This is in the
quilt knitting department, where the
work is done by young girls whose
average wage is SO per week.

NELSON MINE EXPLOSION
Killed is Men and Made IA Widows and
SO Orphans,

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 2.-Inves-
tigation, today, revealed the fact that
the Nelson mine at Dayton, in which
the explosion occurred is not on fire
and has not been. Workmen were en-
gagged, today, excavating the debris.
The funerals of the victims recovered
were held, today. Altogether there
wre 16 killed, leaving IS children and
IA widows.
The miners claim that the explosion
was due to failure to sprinkle the mine,
Sunday. The prevailing opinion seems
to be that it was caused by comb
ination of coal dust and gas in the
mine.
The officials of the Dayton Coal and
Iron Co. stated that they have not pro-
crossed sufficiently In their investiga-
tons to make a full statement, but
they claim that the Nelson was one
of the best governed mines at Day
ton. The state inspector of mines re-
Gently made rigid examination of the
mine and claims it was in first class
condition with very little gas appar.
ent.
The damage to the machinery wa:
practically nothing, the only loss beine
on the stock that was being handled

unusual one.

Chicago, April 2-Coming as sequel
to an arrest for conspiracy to MUIR
DER" which was regarded as a joke,
Il hearing which contained the elements
of a farce comedy was given, today,
and Gen. Fitzsimmons was acquitted.
General Fitzsimmons, who is known
throughout the country by G. A. r.
men, was arrested at the instance of
Captain" G. w. Streeter, the Lake
front squatter, whose claim to what
he calls 1.-The district of Lake Michi-
gam" has often brought him into con-
nict with the police.
A recent raid on "Streeterville" re-
suited in the killing of John Kirk, one
of the cOnstables employed. Streeter
and some of his followers were ar
rested. The Captain retaliated by
causing the arrest of Gen. Fitzsimmons
and four others, all of whom were as
ISOLATED with Gen. Fitzsimmons in the
attempt to force Streeter out of the
district"
Justice Everett, in dismissing the de-
PENDANTS, said he issued the warrants
under the mistaken idea that it was
one of Streeter's men who had been
killed.

the government had millions invested in

renee, in which the plaintiff got YER
diet of s471 for his alleged unlawful
exclusion from the High school of that
city, holding that the defendant is not
liable under the statutes, if the school
committee acted in good faith. The
school committee, it is held, is not
bound to give a hearing conducted with
the same rules of a court, and an erro-
neous ruling, if made in good faith, is
held not to expose the city to liability.
Judge Lathrop dissents, taking the
sta nd that the city must give hearing
Which affords substantial justice, and
where this is lacking, as he thinks it
was in this case, because no hearing
was given the boy in any true sense of
the word, the city is liable.

THIRST SAVED KEEPER.
Lenses at Great Point Light Smashed
by Canvassback Ducks.

Nantucket. Mass, April ITO the
fact that he had left his post a moment
to get a drink of water, ASSISTANT
Lighthouse Keeper Howes of the Great
Point Station attributes his escape
from injury in remarkable accident
which occurred here early, today, ana
in which two canvassback ducks caus-
ed considerable damage to the light
house.
Just after midnight Assistant Keeper
I1owes left his position and had scarce
ly stepped down from his station when
loud crash was heard and at the same
instant the light went out. Fastening
back with lantern the assistant keep
er found two great canvassback DUCKS
of species rare in this section had
plunged through one of the large plate
glass windows of the lighthouse
smashing it into hundreds of pieces ana
had brought up against the opposite
window, extinguishing the light as they
! passed. The window measured SIX feet
by p inches and the glass was three
| eighths of an inch in thickness.
After the accident no piece of glass
bigger than a half dollar could be found
and as the men on watch are accuS-
! toned to stand near this window, II
| is thought that he could not have es-
| capped injury from flying fragments had
he been in his place. Moreover, as
| the ducks are known to fly at a speed
Of 100 miles an hour, the force with
which the pieces were driven into the
tower must have been dangerous.
The accident caused considerable in
convenience, owing to the destruction
Of the lights. Keeper Higgins states
that in his 80 years experience he has
| never witnessed an occurrence similar
20 that of this morning. On account
| Of the rareness of the species there is
much surmising as to where the ducks
came from.
The ducks weighed about seven
pounds each. Both were killed. They
will be preserved as trophies by the
life savers.

The House proceeded with the consid-
GRAFTON of the sundry civil appropriation
bill.
The item relating to national parks led
to some discussion and Maddox (Ga.)
congratulated the committee on appro-
priationS for Incorporating in the bill the
direction of the secretary of war to sub
nit to the next Congress a plan for the
consolidation of the existing commissions
in charge of the several national parks.
Parker On. j raised a point of order
against this provision. insisting that this
subject was properly under the jurisdic-
ton of the military affairs committee. He
admitted that legislation upon the CUES
ton of consolidating the control of the
national parks was desirable and assured
the House that the military committee
proposed to deal with the subject.
whereupon Cannon offered the following
proposition on applying to the appropria-
tons for national park commissions, and
it was adopted:
mo portion of the foregoing sums for
national military parks shall be used dur
ing the fiscal year 1903 for the payment
of more than one commission for service
in connection with each of said parks
under the direction of the secretary of
war. nor shall more than 10 per cent. OF
the sums for either of said parks be ex-
pended for the salaries of clerks or other
employees"

commission was increased. on motion of
Cannon, from $50, 900 to $4,000. Without
further amendment the bill was passed.
The House then resumed consideration
of the Senate bill to promote the eff
cheney of the revenue cutter service.
which was interrupted when the sundry
civil bill was taken up.
Sulzer On. ", Adamson (Ga.) and
Bellamy IN. c. favored the bill. Loud
(Cal) said he was opposed on principle
to retirement with pay of employees of
the government. Had he been a member
of Congress when the law was enacted
for the retirement of naval or army Off
GERS, he would have antagonized it.
After some further debate by Crum-
packer Und) against the bill, and Less

of it, the House, at AS, adjourned.

THE NAVARiNO MISSING.
Sailed from Hayti, Jan. 10, for Boston
Hope Given UP.

Boston, April 2.-Schooner Navarino
of Boston, Capt. VIM. A. Sawyer, from
Gonaives, Hayti, Jan. IS, for New York,
with cargo of $40 tons of log wood
and logwool roots, has not been heard
from since her date of sailing, and it
is feared she has been lost. Since the
Navarino is out IA days there seems
to be little hope that she is still afloat.
1t is possible, however, that the seven
men composing her crew may have
been rescued by some other vessel and
are now on their way to some far off
port Capt. Sawyer was temporarily
in charge of the vessel, relieving Capt.
a. w. Warner. who remained ashore
this voyage. Capt Sawyer was for
merly on the Edith Mcintyre and he
has also commanded the schooners Joe
and Editt and May.
