Sulclde bal CheIsea.

The community OF Chelsea village was
suddenly shocked on Tuesday noon TO
learn that Mrs. Emeline WatersOn, long
time resident and highly respected woman,
had committed suicide by hanging herself
from a cross-b beam in her attic chamber.
She was discovered by her cousin, WILDER
+. Dewey, who Immediately summoned
Dr. Story y. Goss, but life was pronounced
extinct and, as the body was very cold, it
seems probable that the deed was COM
mitted during the night or in the late
afternoon before, as she had been seen
busily engaged in cleaning house by day.
Upon her bureau in the bedroom was
found a note directed to her cousin, Mrs.
Della Whitney, giving explanation Of her
intended action and directions as to DIS
posing Of her effects. She had come back
from Williamstown only eight days pre-
viously, having lived with William Il.
Pratt, her brother-in-la law, for nearly a
year. At times heretofore She had been
very Respondent and il had been feared
she might take her life, but recently she
appeared in decidedly better spirits. She
was an excellent woman and highly re-
spected by all who knew her.

NO STRIKE OF MILLERS
COMPROMISE SCALE Is AGREED ON
AT MINNEAPOLIS.
Eight-Hour Day and an Hourly In
stead of a Daily Rate-RiOts on
the Hudson Valley Railroad.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept 2S-There
will be no strike of the employees of the
flour mills of Minneapolis, for, beginning
Oct. 10, the mills of Minneapolis will be
operated on an eight-hour schedule instead
of under the present system of two twelve
hour shifts. Men do not receive the same
pay for eight hours as they did for the
longer day, but they have expressed them
selves satisfied with the schedule of wages
offered by the millers, and the best of feel
ing prevailed on both sides.
Formerly, under the twelve-hour sched-
ule, a man was forced to work at least ten
and one-half Of the twelve hours, being al
lowed short time for his meals. The men
asked for a shorter day with reduction
in wages. Committees were appointed, and
these conferred with the mill managers and
discussed the situation. The millers were
told that the managers could not grant the
terms asked, but would submit a counter
proposal.
This was done. and at meeting of the
Flour Mill Employees Union yesterday il
was adopted The schedule is as follows:
For millers drawing So a day. 80 cents an
hour; for machine men drawing $3.50 day
% cents an hour; for machine men draw
ing s2.25 a day, rs cents an hour; for oilers
drawing 81 day, 23la cents an hour; for
sweepers drawing $1.75 a day, % cents an
hour.

Divergent FRENCH VIEWS
DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF AMERICAN
INTERVENTION AT PANAMA.
La Liberty Wants a European Coali-
Debats Approves American Policy.

PARIS, Sept. 2s.-The French press has
been following closely the armed inter-
vention" OF the United States in affairs on
the ishthmus and at Panama, and the arti-
Gle published in La Prensau of Buenos
Ayres, Argentina. on Sept. 2e. in which at
tention was called to the alleged tendency
of the United States toward imperialism.
as illustrated by the landing of American
marines on the isthmus and against which
action the paper protests energetically, has
evoked comment in several newspapers.
La Liberte tonight says the Latin coun-
tries of South America have several times
clearly affirmed their intention not to al
low themselves to be absorbed by the
United States. The great nations of Eu-
rope ought to support them vigorously In
this work Of defense and self-preservation.
1t is the special duty of nations of the same
blood as theirs, says La Liberte. such
France, Italy and Spain, to stretch out a
helping hand.
Endorses the policy of the United States
towards the republics OF South America.
This paper first remarks that the American
government does not need TO repeat the
Monroe doctrine to Europe. The situation
itself su1sces to recall to the latter that the
American continent cannot longer be a
field of European political action. The
paper then says that the protest against
the landing of American marines on the
isthmus made by General Salazar, COM
mander of the Colombian forces on the
isthmus, is futile and therefore of only
mediocre interest. America" says the
Journal des Debats, 'is scrupulously full
filling the duty imposed upon it by the
treaty of 1876. and 1T will fulfill this duty
more and more in the future as the canal
is completed The good old times of civil
war at Panama are a thing Of the past"
The Journal then proceeds to warn the
Latin-American that deep reforms are
necessary If he wishes to remain free. and
concludes by saying: THE economic scan
dial of Colombia and the internal disorders
which cause 1t will certainly impose upon
Uncle Sam, injured and indignant, some
form of control. 1t is evident that We are
at the beginning of period Of North Amer
lean Intervention in South America or of
fundamental reforms in the latter country
Those nations which are duly forewarned
and, possessed of adequate resources do not
make the effort necessary to live abdicate
purely and simply the right to exist"

WITH A STRONG DETACHMENT.
Engineers VIII Lay Approaches to the
Stronghold at Maciu, and Every
PrecautiOn VIII He Taken.

MANILA, Sept. Pa second expedition
against the Moro position at Maciu, island
of Mindanao, left Camp Wears to-day. 1t
is in command of Capt. John ]. Pershing,
of the Fifteenth Infantry, and is COM
posed of a battalion of infantry, troop
of cavalry, three sections of artillery and
a detachment of engineers. The engineers
will construct pontoon bridge and a cor
duroy trail across the swamp which TANKS
the land side Of the Maciu forts. This
work will occupy several days. Rats
probably will be used TO attack the fort
from the lake side The actual date of the
assault on the forts is indefinite.
The Sultan of Butig had been made a
prisoner by the column under Capt. Eli A.
Helmnick, of the Tenth Infantry, which
last week destroyed the Butig forts, but
was subsequently released. He furnished
the Americans with horses to transport
their supplies.
The first expedition which left Camp
Wears to operate against the Maciu Moros
was composed of a battalion of infantry,
started on Sept. IL. The position at Maciu
was found TO be strong and the attack
was delayed in order to improve the meth
DDS of approach and to receive reinforce
ments. The fort at Maciu is on an eleva-
ton close to the lake shore and hanked by
swamps, which virtually make 1t an island.
The Sultan of Maciu regards the position
as impregnable and has refused to treat
with Captain Pershing. Captain Pershing
is confident of his ability to capture the
Moro forts without serious losses.

Literary Bulletin.
The manuscript of Edward Marshalrs
novel, "Lizette." which is one of the fall
books published by Lewis, Scribner Co.,
had many exciting adventures and some
narrow escapes before it was put into type.
Mr.. Marshall began the story several years
ago, when he was stationed in Paris as
correspondent. This part of the story and
the notebook in which Mr.. Marshall had
totted down many incidents of life in the
Latin Quarter went to Cuba at the begin
ming OF the Spanish war and was misplaced
with part of his luggage about the time
when he received the wound at FL Caney,
which was believed at the time to be fatal.
Several months later the missing luggage
turned up in New York. In the winter of
1900-1901 Mr.. Marshall was living at the
Hotel jefferson in New York and had near
ly completed the story, when the hotel
burned down. AS most people know, Mr..
Marshall lost one OF his legs as the result
of the wound he received in Cuba, but he
managed TO escape from the burning build
ing by narrow board laid across to wall
about two feet distant. Just as he got
across the plank he thought of his story
and turned back. The package of manu-
script was burning when Mr.. Marshall
reached ii, but he brought ii out with only
one end scorched. Then he took il to a
safe deposit vault and left ii there until it
was transferred 10 the hands of the pub
fishers.

FIGHTING THE CHOLERA.
Efforts of Authorities to Stamp Out
the Disease mt Manila.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-The Bureau of
Insular Affairs of the War Department has
made public a report Of the chief quaran-
tine officer of the Philippine Islands, dated
July "a. 1902, reciting in great detail the eff
forts of the authorities to stamp out the
plague and cholera in the islands. The
quarantine stations are said to be the best
In the Orient. and the inspection work has
been very heavy.
AS to cholera the report reads: az wish to
state, as pertinent to the manner in which
cholera was introduced into Manila, that
this city is the greatest vegetable market
in the Orient since nothing of this nature
is produced in the Philippines and every
thing is imported. Nearly all these vegeta-
bles-potatoes, cabbage, celery and lettuce
come from Canton and the West river
country adjacent. The Chinese methods Of
fertilizing plants is to well known to mem
ton, and the danger of such articles as
cabbage, lettuce and celery, which are
often eaten in the uncooked stage is appa-
rent in view of the possibility that disease
like cholera has prevailed in the territory
in which they have been grown.
upon the appearance of cholera in Ma
Mia the necessity for protecting the prov
inces against the introduction of the dis
ease by vessels was apparent. and, conse-
quently, on the 21st of March five days
quarantine was declared on all vessels sail
ing from Manila for island ports. The
same regulation was applied to United
States army transports, since a large num-
Der of troops were being returned at this
time. This quarantine has been
effective since. Although forty-five vessels
have had cases Of cholera on board while
serving their quarantine here, no vessel
has had the disease develop after discharg-
ing from quarantine, and no port in the
Philippine islands has been infected by
vessels from Manila with the exception of
Nueva Caceras, the latter being infected
soon after the appearance of the disease in
Manila by vessel that had been permit
ted to load in quarantine. 1t was after
ri M he ha
communicated with the shore in Manila
one of whom had acquired the infection
during the visit and developed the case
after the vessel arrived at Nueva Caceras."

iron And STEEL TRADE
CAUSE OF THE FALLING OFF IN EX-
PORTS FROM THIS COUNTRY.
Demand at Home Greater than Can Be
Supplied-An English View of
the Situation.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Commercial
conditions in the United States are now the
subject of very close attention by the fnan-
cial and commercial journals of Europe. A
copy of the London Financier, just re-
ceived by the Treasury Bureau of Statis-
tics, discusses In great detail commercial
and manufacturing conditions in the
United States and their bearing upon the
manufactures and commerce or Europe and
especially of Great Britain. Commenting
upon the reduction in exports during the
last fiscal year, 1t says
This large decrease is chiefly owing to
the partial failure of the Indian corn crop
last year, and partly owing to the decrease
in the value of iron and steel goods ex-
ported The exports of all kinds of iron
and steel, with the exception of iron ore,
amounted last year to Sill, 3l9.3 800. This last
year Q902) they amounted to only $685. 552, 562,
showing falling off of S,766, 75S. The
shortage of certain iron and steel goods in
proportion to the demand is chiefly due TO
is estimated by steel rail manufacturers
that the railways will require at least
100000 tons of steel rails for the year end
ing June 30, 1903. Orders for 100000 tons
1,250,000 tons of the 100000 tons will be re-
Quired for renewals, the remainder being
used for extensions. Another great factor
in the iron and steel trade is the agricul-
tural implement industry. A third is the
unprecedented demand for steel in the
building OF dwellings and factories
1.-The total imports of iron and steel goods
amounted to s27,lS0,247, as compared with
$7.S74, 7S9 in 1901, an increase of 50, 305, ass.
This increase is general throughout the
whole list of articles, but is largest as re-
CARDS raw and semi-manufactured mate
rial Notwithstanding the enormous de-
mand for iron and steel prices have been
kept at reasonable level. This has been
due largely to the United States Steel Cor
poration, which firmly refused to raise its
prices unduly. This policy has. doubtless
caused a prolongation of the period of great
activity by encouraging greater consump-
ton. AS long as the United States contin-
ues in its present prosperous condition, alb
sorbing all il can produce in the way of
iron and steel, British manufacturers need
not fear serious competition. But this pros
perity cannot last indefinitely The home
demand must fall off to a greater or lesser
extent when, owing to the present increase
of output all over the country, we shall
probably see an overproduction exceeding
anything hitherto experienced Prepara-
tons are being made to meet this contin-
gency, so that when supply greatly ex-
ceeds demand in America everything will
be in readiness to carry the surplus to Eu-
rope and other countries more economically
than ever before. British manufacturers
should, therefore, put their houses in or
der meanwhile"
