THE SISTINE CHAPEL.
Bad Condition Of tho Roof Endaneers
Priceless Works Of Art Beneath.

From the London Standard.
The condition Of the roof of the Sistine
Chapel in Rome has for some time been
unsatisfactory. and Pope Leo. just before
he was seized with his last Illness gave
orders that the necessary works Of repair
should be taken in hand at once. The grav-
hy of this statement will be appreciated
by those who realize the unique place In
religious art occupied by the chapel that
Prinetti built for Sixtus w. more than four
centuries ago. There are said to be several
assures In the plaster. and some of the
wooden supports of the vault are giving
way. Iron cross bars are to be substituted
and the cracks made good, and we are
sured, with the familiar Italian optimism,
that all danger will then be at an end. We
trust it may be SO, since any disaster to the

Typhoid at williams.

Williamstown, Mass. Nov. 1S.-Seven Williams college students are at the college infirmary i'll with typhoid fever, and four of the cases are pronounced critical. In addition four men are un- der medical care, and their physicians are watching for typhoid fever synp- toms. The critical cases are: Christian B. Martin and L. F. Martin, brothers of Columbus, Ohio; Clarence J. Good willie, of Chicago, and Walter squires, of P1ainfeld, N. J. The other men known to have typhoid are Carleton w. Hubbard, of Greenwich, Conn.,; James L. Limen, of Scranton, Pa., and Alfred H. Apell, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.
 The college authorities are gravely concerned and are making determined fight to prevent an epidemic and also to head off a threatened exodus of stu- dents The origin of the typhoid is not determined. It is believed, however, to have been brought here from out of town To-day the drinking water and milk supply of the town were examin- ed, but no typhoid germs were discov- cred.
 President Henry Hopkins will ad- dress the students at chapel tomorrow at which time he will state the opinions expressed by physicians and the con- clusion reached by the faculty concern ing the prevailing illness.

CUBAN BILL DISCUSSION
General Wood Severely criticized by
 Representative Fordnsy

General Wood Severely Criticized by
 Representative Fordnay.
 Washington, Nov. 1s.-The opposition to the Cuban bill was heard in the House to-day and in vigorous speech. The features of the day were the speeches of MT. Grosvenor of Ohio, who opened the discussion in advocacy of the bill, and MT. Fordney, rep, of Mich igan, who spoke in opposition. MT. Grosvenor spoke for more than an hour, during which he was frequently interrupted by questions emanating from the democratic side. The collo- quies resulting, especially those with MT. Clark of Missouri, brought forth loud applause first on one side of the chamber and then on the other.
 MT. Grosvenor made a prophetic statement as to how the tsates will be aligned in the coming presidential cam- paign, in response to the declaration of MT. Clark as to the probability of dem- ocratic success next year. MT. Fordney and two of his republican colleagues from Michigan spoke in opposition to the bill. MT. Fordney emphatically ex- pressed his disapproval of the measure. He made an attack on Francis Thurber | of New York and criticised General Leonard Wood in severe terms for pay ing money to MT. Thurber for distribut- ing literature in the interest of Cuban reciprocity two years ago. Among others who spoke in opposition to the bill were Messrs. shafroth of Colorado, Burgess of Texas and Bell of Califor- mia, democrats, and Messrs. Moran and Loud, the latter two republicans from Michigan. The debate will close to- morrow and vote will be taken not later than p. m. 4@.

Throw Up Jobs in Meridon-Appeal to
 the People.
 Meriden, Nov. 1S.-There were no new developments to-day in the strike at Factory H of the International Silver company, only that Q number of the strike breakers brought here from out of town threw up their jobs during the day, as when the factory closed at 5:40 o'clock this evening there were only sixty-three men in the party that went to the strike breakers boarding house under police protection.
 This afternoon the strikers, through State Organizer M. J. Hanlon, issued an appeal to the people of Meriden re- questing them, if they were friends of organized labor, not in any way to att tempt to modest the strike breakers who have been imported to this city to work at Factory H, and to keep away from the vicinity of the factory and the strike breakers boarding house.
 Chief of Police Van Nostrand, learn ing that some kind of an appeal was to be made by the strikers, ordered all the regular patrolmen to report at head- quarters at o'clock and sent them, under command of Captain Bowen, to do duty in the vicinity of the factory and the boarding house, fearing that there would be trouble of some kind. The officers were in full uniform and carried their riot clubs, but they had no occasion to use them, as the crowd that assembled to see the strike breakers did not molest them In any way.

 Cincinnati, Nov. 1S.--The closing day of the thirteenth national convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union found the interest in the pro- ceedings unabated. A delegate read a letter from a member of congress say ing that there was but little propect of the passage of all bill repeating the anti-canteen law.
 The executive committee reported that it had ordered s5,00O appropriated for an exhibit at the worlds fair. This was approved by the convention.
 The report of Mrs. D. N. Graham of Maryland, general superintendent of the department of work among railroad employees, showed substantial and en- couraging results. One of the most hopeful facts is the attitude of the lead ing officials of the roads insisting on temperance among employees
 Over 100000 railroad employees are now wearing the railroad. temperance button. Social halls intended to coun- teractt saloon influences have been erected in many places and are looked upon with favor by the railway man. agers.

 Rtg Cut. sa

Halifax, N. S.. Nov. 1s.-The De- minion Iron and Steel company of Syd- ney has given notice of general re- duction in the wages and salaries of all it's employees. The notices posted to that effect read as follows:
 Beginning with December 1, 1903, all wages and salaries of the employees of the Dominion Iron and Steel company will be reduced from 10 to 33 1-3 per cent. Common laborers will be paid $1.26 per diem.
 David Baker. Manager.

 It is stated by the company's man. agers at Sydney that the cut was made necessary by the announcement that the United States Steel Corporation had made a revision of it's salary list, the Dominion company being compelled to reduce expenses in order to compete with it's American rival.

Proposition to Saddle |, on the F. of L.
 Defeated.

Boston, Nov. 18.-In historic FaneuiI hall to-day, and at the end of a ses- sion remarkable because of the feryor of it's oratory, the attempt of the so- ciaIist delegates to have the orgarliza- tion pledge itself to socialism was sig nally defeated at the convention of the American Federation of Labor. Nine resolutions presented by followers of socialism calling for the adoption of the principles of that political party had been reported upon unfavorably by the committee on resolutions and delegates representing 8 voting strength of |, ,2S2 registered themselves in support of the committees recommendation while del- egates with 2,185 numerical votes threw their power against the report of the committee, and in favor of the resolu- ton. The issue was discussed all to- day as we'll as part of yesterday. All the leaders of both sides engaged in debate. Just before the vote was taken this afternoon the convention became tumultuous over the question of the right of certain delegates to have their time extended, as well as Delegate Ca rey's heated condemnation of Vice Pres ident Duncan's attack upon the social ists.
 The climax of the day of battle was President Gompers himself. In an in- tense and impressive manner and in bitter and unqualified language he scourged socialism, and what he claim ed was an attempt to induce the con- vention to adopt it's principles.
 The announcement of the defeat of the resolution was received with great applause. ' s.<@..

TRANSFERS TAKE ACTION.
Wiii Refuse to Deliver Any Articles to
 Trolley Company.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The Teamsters' union took action tonight that may re- suit in one of the most serious labor sit- nations ever seen in this city.
 At a general meeting of the organiza- tion 1t was decided to order all mem bers of the Teamsters, union to refuse to deliver any articles to the Chicago City Railway company during the ex- istence of the present strike. It was also decided that if any of the team sters were discharged by their employ CTS for refusing to deliver goods to the railway company a general strike would at once be ordered against the Chicago Employers association.
 The Teamsters' union, which is the strongest labor organization in the city, has about 4,000 members and has con- tracts with practically every establish ment of prominence in the city that has teams of it's own. The contracts rule out of existence sympathetic strikes A strike of the teamsters would almost paralyZe the business of the city.

ADMIRAL EVANS SUSTAINED
HIS CRINICISM OF NICHOLS
 CoURTMARTIAL CASE
Found by the Secretary of the Navy to Have Been Actuated by High sense of Duty and Inspired by High Re- gard for the Honor and Welfare Of the Service.

Washington, Nov IS. = Secretary Moody to-day announced his decision in the matter of the protest of Pay- master H. T. Biscoe against the lam guage used by Rear Admiral Evans, eommander-in-chief of the Asiatic sta- ton, in reviewing the result of the court-martial on Assistant Paymaster Nichols.
 After ruling that Rear Admiral Ev- ans as the converting and reviewing authority of the court-martial in ques- ton was within the limits of his au- thority in critioising the finding of not guilty upon the third charge and pro- nouncing the sentence inadequate. and in his criticism and aiiinad diversion up- on the court, Secretary Moody says in conolusions
 It is to be regretted that an occa- sion has arisen which, in the judgment of the reviewing authority, demanded so severe a censure as was inflicted in this case. Nevertheless as the mem bers of the court must be the judges of the measure of their duty, so the reviewing authority must be the judge of his duty while the exercise of the discretion of the reviewing authority is uncomfortable, there Is clear remedy for an abuse of it. If 1t should appear in any case, that in the exercise of his authority is uncomfortable, there is a clear remedy for an abuse of it. If 1t should appear in any case, that in the exercise of his authority of review ing the proceedings of courts martial convened by him, a commander chief had acted capriciously, cruelty, with evident lack of judgment or from irn- proper motives; in short, If he had shown himself unfit to be entrusted with the authority which the law at taches to his position, the department has the power to withhold from him that authority in the future by recall ing him from his station It is, how ever, considered that in this instance Rear Admiral Evans hes not shown himself unworthy of the continued con- fidence of the department. On the con- trary, in view of the evidence before the court, without weighing too nicely the terms of his censure, 1t is believed that he was actuated by high sense of duty and inspired by regard for ths honor and welfare of the service.
 I am invited by the bureau of navi- gation to publish an order concerning performance of the duties of courts martial. It seems to me that nothing more impressive can be said than to present the fact that the bureau charg- ed with the immediate government and discipline of the personnel of the navy has deliberately presented to the de- partment such a request"

CLEVELAND EVADEs LAW.
He and His Hunting Party Neglect to
 Take Out License.

Norfolk, Nov. 1s.-Former President Grover Cleveland, who is now gunning on the preserves of the Back Bay Gun club, in Princess Anne county, so far has had poor luck. The probabilities are that MT. Cleveland's party will spend two more days gunning at Back Bay and return on Saturday. ...
 It developed in Norfolk to-day that MT. Cleveland and each nonresident member of his party has laid himself liable to arrest and a considerable fine for violating the game law of Virginia, which requires every nonresident to take out a $10 license before he shoots game in this state. None of the Cleve- land party has obeyed this law. Their failure to comply with it has been brought to the notice of the Princess Anne authorities, but they have taken no steps in the matter.

ENGLISH BLOCK ON FIRE.
FLAMES SHOT HALF WAY ACROSS
 COURT STREET.

But Were Quickly subdued-Fira
 started In Pile of Waste on ths Floor
 of the W. T. Barnum oompany-other
 Parts of Bailding Damaged by smoke
 and Water.
 What threatened to be bad fire started shortly before 2 o'clock this morning on the third floor of the Henry F. English block at the corner of Court and State streets. The first indication that anyone had that there was any fire there was when huge. flames burst suddenly out os the rear windows on the Court street side nearly across the street and were seen by Patrolman Coonan. who sent in the alarm. The department soon got several streams playing on it.
 The fire started in a pile of waste in a corner of the ". T. Barnum 6 Co.'S electrotyping shop and spread quickly all over the floor.
 $
 The Grilley company, hardware man. ufacturers, who have the front of the floor as an office and who have their shop on the top floor, were also darn- aged, although 1t is not thought to any great extent The fire was eating it's way into the floor of the Grilley com pany when the department arrived, but 1t was stopped before it had gained very much headWay in that direction. The front of the third floor was dam aged very little except by smoke and water. The ceiling of the second floor, however, was quite badly damaged by smoke and water. After about an hours work the fire was extinguished.
 How the waste which started the blaze got on fire is mystery, and this matter will be investigated by Chief Fancher this morning. This is not the first time the building has been on fire.
 George D. Bone the printer, occupies the second floor just under where the fire was, and it is thought that his stock may have been quite badly dam aged by water.
 The damage will be several hundred dollars.
