WASHINGTON, April g. Official advices received at the navy depart ment from the Philippines record the discovery of number of valuable is- lands in the southern part of the archi- pelago which are not on any of the charts in the possession Of the govern ment. So far as known no foreign gov ernment has laid claim to this terri tory, and to preclude the presentation of such claims Secretary Moody has taken steps to have the islands proper ly charted as the property of the Unit ed States after first having every effort made to learn if any government had ground for claim to the new islands.

WANTS DAMAGES
Waterbury Republican Defen-
 dant in $1O,o0O Libel Suit.
PAPERS SERVED LAST NIGHT.

Alfred Williams, One of the Trolley
 Strikers, Brings the Suit-Takes Ex
 ception to Articles Published, and
 Thinks Two Apologies Made Were
 Not Explicit Enough.
 Deputy Sheriff Rametti served pa pers ill suit for $10,OO0 damages for libel against the Waterbury Sepubli- can, brought by Alfred Williams. The papers ill the case Were served last evening, the customary attachment of the newspaper plant being made and an officers receipt given for the same, which released the attachment.
 The suit is the odtoone of an article that appeared in the Republican about the time the arrests of several of thd strikers and others were made on the charge of assaulting Merna and Nor rissette, the crew of a car on the Wa terville line, with intent to murder them. The gist of the article was that woman s'ran'' intN the RepEbli- can office one day and said she had seen Williams ill Brewsters, N. Y., and that he looked as though he had had long walk. The paper also stated that he had been seen in Brookfield that he was wanted by. the police here that he had record" and that 1t was supposed he had fled from the city, all leaving the inference that he was i'm plfcated in some of the disturbances that took place ill connection with the trolley strike and that he fled the town to escape the consequences.
 It turned out that Williams haG been to his home and when the article referred to came to his notice he re turned to town instantly and called upon the Republican editors. The re, suit was retraction, which evidently Williams was not satisfied with, where upon he consr1lted Attorney Minor and another retraction, more conspicuous than the first. was made What tooI place between that time and the serv ing of the papers last night has no yet been stated by Williams or his at torney, neither of whom could bt found to-day.
 Judge Burpee, who has gained st much notorietY because of his connec tion with the Trolley company since the strike began. is counsel for fh, Republican, and the JIdgs also wen on ths papers bond.

CAN'T AFFORD RAISE.
State Board of Arbitration Against
 Lowell Strikers.

Lowell Strikers.
 BOSTON, April 23.-The textile cor porations in Lowell involved in the present strike of 17,OOO operatives, with single exception, cannot afford to pay to their help the 10 per cent in crease in wages demanded by organ ized labor, in the opinion of the state board of arbitration and conciliat tion. This opinion is contained in report of the board to Governor John L.. Bates, summing up it's recent inquiry into the textile situation in Lowell and is corroborated by a statement from state statistician based on the figures of an accountant employed by the board to make an examination of the financial condition of the seven mills in question.
 The boards report was submitted to the governor late Tn the afternoon and by him sent to the legislature, with 8 brief explanatory message. In this con nection there was an interesting incl dent. The governor called the atten- tion of the house of representatives to the fact that, while the order for the in- quiry by the state board required" a report to the legislature, he assumed the house meant to vote request the information as the board is part of the executive department.
 The board reviews the present trou- bIe as far back as the original demand for an increase made in March of last year and says that when the strike or dered at that time was declared off through the intervention of a civic committee the impression prevailed among the operatives that promise had been made that wages would be increased voluntarily under certain conditions. The board fails to find that a promise of an increase was made.
 The report further says:
 .'It is unnecessary to more than refer to the increase of southern mills dur ing the last ten years to show that Lowell has formidable competitor there Of the total gain of cotton spin dies in the United States from 1890 to 1900 of 4,920, ,24e, b8 per cent, or 2,747,- S89, were in the south which produces the plain coarse goods such as are largely made in Lowell.
 "In view of these facts and after careful study of the reports of the va rious experts employed the board finds that the claim of the mills that they cannot afford to increase wages is sus' tained except in the case of the Law rence Manufacturing company whose l books show that this company is able | to grant the advance demanded" The report is signed by Warren A. l Reed, Richard P. Barry and Charles l D. Palmer, members of the board.

Some of the Members Want to
 Withdraw from Organization
NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN.

Although the Subject Was Discussed
 At a Meeting Tuesday Evening No Answer Made to Demands of Clerks Yet-some of the Stores Are Only Asking Clerka to Work the Number of Hours Asked for by Union.
 mere was report around town to. day that at the meeting of the Drug clerks union last Tuesday night tt vote mad been passed to the effect that the union should withdraw from the central Labor union. A reporter saw Presldent Carpenter of the union to- day and he denied that such a vote had been passed. He admitted, how ever, that such 8 matter had been dis cussed at the meeting, but didn't want any newspaper publicity in regard tO It at this time. When something den- mite Is done in regard to the matter. he said, T will give it to the newspa- pers."
 One of the press agents of the union was more communicative on the sub | ject than the leading officer of the union. He spoke substantially as fol- l lows: "Yes. the subject of the Drug ! Clerks union withdrawing from the Central Labor body was discussed at l the meeting on Tuesday night. but no motion to that effect was made. If if IS brought up at the next meeting it will be defeated. It is a piece of fooI-s 1shness. It seems that some of the proprietors of the drug stores are very. /much opposed to unionism. especially to the Central Labor union and federa- l t1ons Of unions in general. Some of these proprietor have not yet granted the clerks request that sixtv-ei ght
 hours work be considered a weeks work. A few of the members of the.
 union think that if our union should
 Withdraw from the Central Labor body. that these proprietors would accede to
 the clerks proposition that they should
 nave to work only sixty-eight hours n
 week. But, as said before, it would
 be foolish for our union to withdraw
 from the Central La. or body, and I am sternly opposed to such move, and |
 can safely say that the majority of the
 members are opposed to it.. The union
 won't withdraw from the Central
 Labor body. Why should we please q EfeW druggists who have refused our request by withdrawing from the Gen.
 tral Labor union, which would be our
 main support in case of any trouble ?p
 From another source it was learned
 that the clerks in a number yof the drug stores, among them being the
 Apothecaries' Hall Co.'S drug store. the
 Waterbury Drug Co and Cannon & Ur~
 hams, are working only sixty-eight
 hours a<week. There are other drug
 stores around the center where the
 clerks have to work more than sixty eight hours.
 The Drug Clerks union is receiving much notoriety of late. First, it was } rumored that the clerks would strike
 if their proposition for shorter hours ; was not granted. Then they attracted l notoriety by proposing to have their
 union incorporated, and now they are attracting the public's attention owing i to their discussion of the advisability of withdrawing from the Central Labor union. What will be next?

SPEAKS HIS MIND.
Man Who Voted for Tracy, But Thinks
 He Has Gone Wrong.


 1 The Tracy bill relative to the incor- l poration of unions, which was aired in Hartford yesterday, is being talked of 1 in Waterbury to-day more than ever | before, and some of the opinions ex- 1 pressed upon it and the man who ' fathers the measure would not look 1 just right in print. One man, pretty l temperate sort of fellow, who knows Senator Tracy well and likes him for | his rugged honesty, had this to say on | the question:
 MT Tracy has said great deal about fair play, but I fail to see how he considers it fair to all when lie aims to get bill passed making it com 1 pulsory upon unions to give notice i'll advance of their intention to go on strike, without making some provision l to prevent employers from discharging ] help upon the instantaneous process. The senator talks a great deal about the injury done to capital on account of. strike that are entered into without l giving employers some warning, and | don't know but he is right ill seeking to remedy the evil, but why not fix things at the same time so that work I men cannot be driven into involuntary idleness at the whim of some boss who may get his back up at men and fire them out unceremoniously without any | regard to the number If people looking to them for bread. I often thought of calling upon MT Tracv and asking him I what he meant by that bill, but SUD- I pose it would not amount to anything I if had. I think MT Tracy must have struck bad company since he got into politics. He used to be a very clever All Al s1os No n4 @ long ago which shows his true charac- ter much better than the provisions of that bill do. Times were hard in Wa terbury and many people were in want. Everybody who had a little to spare was lending hand to the needy, and I know for fact that MT Tracy made lit known that he wanted nobody in his neighborhood to remain hungry or cold so long as he had a dollar or dollar S worth left. I was not one of those that needed assistance, but just the same I appreciated his kindness, and while I ought to feel ashamed of ii

 Hartford, April 23.-Heav losses due mainly to damage by water attend ed a fire which occurred at $50 o'clock to-dayfoI the roof of the west ern extension of the Case Lockwood < Brainerd printing estaoi;shmeut at the corner of PclrI and Irumbull streets. Although comparatively lit tie damage was caused by the fire it's location made it nee,,Esry tc pouc Il great deal of water Ii roof and into the upper story O. tue building. sa that nearly evelay part or ti.e bu;.d- in.. was flooded. No exact estimate O. the damage could be made this forenoon, but it will amount to thou sands of dollars. The lithograph1ng plant of Kellogg & Bulkeley, which occupies part of the building, was also injured by water. On account of the fire both the firms in the building were obliged to suspend operations, and the plants, which employ several hundred men, were shut down. The loss will be covered by insurance
 The fire started at the top of an ele- vator shaft at the rear of the exten- sion. A new set of pulleys for the elevator was installed recently and it is supposed the cables running in the pulleys were not properly adjusteL and that the friction thus caused sci fire to the woodwork at the top of t--c shaft.
