TIE POLITICAL POT IS BOILING

said this afternoon that whila it rnirht appear like shaking 8 red lag in tha race ot a bull to talk Doherty to some people in Waterbury, it might as well pc understood now as later that Doher- " IS the coming man and that those Wno wink at his chances and are trying 10 keep him in the background will wonder Where they are at bye and bye. U seems Congressman Lilley secured Doherty the position he now holds and that this was intended as nothing niore Ihan stepping stone to the mayoralty. some people may laugh at this. but. there is more talk back of it. Doher. tys stock Is going up every day, and the number of people who claim they want to vote for him shows that he is. Dy no means dead cock in the pit and IS pound to receive some more substan- Llai token of esteem in the near future Lnan an appointive office from Sheriff Dunham. His henchmen say that they KnoW he would not receive full party vote, but that he would gain more from the opposition than he would lose in ms own, and by this method of reason Ing they contend that he is the logical candidate, 2. because his chance of cleo ton would be better than any other
 man the party could name. Of course Ine noys are only sparring for points Just yet, but pretty soon they will he at It hammer and tongs, and then rnere'H be some sport and all tha noise Will not be confined to the democratic end of the tussle.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

B.. G. Dun l& Co. Say Business Ia Un-
 disturbed by Speculation Collapse.
 NEW YORK; Aug Further evil ience of the solid basis upon which legitimate trade is established has been furnished by the equanimity with which commercial and financial insti- tutions regard the recent speculative collapse. There is no indication that the brokerage failures or the severe decline in prices of securities were ex- tensiyely felt outside of Wall street. Much more harm has been done to the country's manufactures and trade by the inflated prices of cotton than by the depression in stocks.
 Reports are almost unanimous as to the heavy distribution of merchandise, and this is shown satisfactorily by the
 Increase in railway earnings thus far reported for July, 12.5 per cent over last years and 28.1 per cent above 2901. AS the farm products begin to move there are signs of pressure on transporting lines, although no serious reports, of delay emanate from any sec ton except the southwest, where facili- ties were damaged by floods.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for July amount to S8,75o,9S6, of which $5, ,167, ,255 were in manufacturing, $2,7S6e90 in trading and ,$796, TAI in other commercial lines. Failures this week were 19O in the United States against 193 last year and nineteen in Canada compared with eighteen year ago.

NEW DIAMOND CUTTING.
Twentieth Century Method Increases
 BrilliancY of Gems.

-
 Brilliancy of Gems.
 The most important news in quarter of a century for all lovers of diamonds is the announcement of the marvellous new twentieth century cutting" The new method of preparing diamonds, 1t is confidently predicted by many experts, will revolutionize the diamond trade, says the New York Herald The discov- cry makes it possible to increase the brilliancy of diamonds, size for =ize, fully 100 per cent. It makes stones ap- pear much larger than after any other cutting, and renders them equally bril- liant viewed from any angle. Despite an immense amount of experimenting by diamond experts the world over, no effective cutting had been discovered since 1875, when the present brilliant form was introduced. The twentieth century cutting is the discovery of Daniel c. Townsend, New York dia- mond expert.
 The average layman In diamond mat ters can have no conception ofthe diffi- cultfes involved in such work It was necessary not only to be perfectly fa- miliar with the properties of diamonds, but to have an expert knowledge oe the laws of optics, besides practical work ing knowledge of the diamond cutters trade Every phase. of the work was extremely expensive After a cutting had been devised and each facet had been designed with its relation 10 every other facet, the cutting was first exe- cuted in glass. Only the most expert cutters could be intrusted with the work. After the glass model had been completed the cutting would be tried on an actual diamond. It was necessary to use a fairly large diamond in order to test properly the work. The stones used for these experiments-rand there were many of them worth about s1 .000 each.

COULDN'T COME 10 TERMS.
And the B. & B. Polisheps Are
 All Out Now.

Company Would Not Accede to Any of
 the Mems Demands-Only the Fore
 man and One Beginner are Left to
 Do the Work.
 The worst has happened at the buff ing department at Benedict 6 Burn hams. After falling to come to any terms with representatives of the com pany, all the hands went out shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon with the exception of John Laplante and Polander who went in last week. The men were willing to return to work at a slight reduction in wages provided MT Laplante should be discharged, or they would work at the old rates and allow the objectionable man to remain, but the company refused to agree to either proposition. There were about twenty five men in the room, some of whom had been there for the past if teen or twenty years and were consid- cred very skillful hands. The men said to-day that they had nothing to give out except that all efforts to eff feet a settlement had failed and that as a last resort they quit. It is a good many years ago since there was a strike in that department before. At that time there was no organization, and the trouble did not amount to, any thing.
 The polishers and buffers are thor oughly organized all over the country, so that it is not likely that the men will experience much trouble in secur- ing work elsewhere. So far as the company is concerned, it can get as many men as it cares to take on, but of course it will require a lot of coach ing to break them in; but perhaps the management prefers to do this rather than budge an inch.

UNEARTHING HIS PROPERTY
Eccentric Millionaire Whose Will |
 Just Admitted to Probate.


 Chicago, Aug 1-Three million dol lars worth of property already has been unearthed by Executor Warfeld as belonging to the estate of Colonel George T. Cline. the eccentric Chica- goan, who died July [, and whose will recently was admitted ito probate. Un- til the examination of Colonel Cline's papers is complete it will not be known how much more the estate is worth, but it may approximate $6;000,O90. Colonel Cline was 80 years old. His title was won in the civil war. Almost his entire fortune, which was in land, is left to relatives in California and Maryland.
 Despite Colonel Cline's wealth, he was known to few persons in Chicago. He belonged to the old school of fnan- ciers. When friends died he failed to make new ones. and in recent years had lived entirely alone in a single room of a big hotel building in Engle- wood, which he purchased after the close of the worlds fair

MANY SP|NDLES AFFECTED
High Price of Cotton Will Stop
 Wheels of Machinery

I About Buying at Present-An Effort
 to Have Manufacturers Sign an Agreement to Close Up Failed-Too
 Much Unfinished Work.
 Boston, Aug In cotton manufac- turing circles in this city it is expected that more than 100000 spindles will be idle throughout the north during the month of August, due mainly to the high prices in the cotton market, and the hesitancy of purchasers of goods to agree to any marked advance while any raw material, purchased before the rise, remains in the storehouses. Dur ing the past week numerous announce ments of a curtailment have been made. especially among the smaller mills, and it is considered probable that many more similar notices will be posted within the next ten days. Attempts have been made to shut down for a stated period or cease operations cer- tain number of days each week, but owing to large number of unfinished contracts. an iron-clad agreement was deemed inexpedient at this time.
 The conditions in the cotton market has caused more inconvenience in Fall River, the textile center of North Amer ica, than in any other manufacturing town in New England. For weeks hundreds of thousands of spindles have been idle and entire corporations have found 1t advisable to shut down.
 About One-third of the 80,O0O opera lives in Fall River have been idle this week. but the outlook to-day was that not so many would be out of the mills next week. Although the shutdown propably will affect about 700. GOO of the more than 100000 spindles in Fall River.
 Tn Lowell, another leading mill cen ter. the high per cent of cotton has not had any noticeable effect on account of the long shut down of six corpora tions during the strike of the opera tives last spring.
 Tn Maine mills at Lewiston, Lisbon and Brunswick will shut down for two. weeks.
 Among other corpora tions which also will curtail their product are the queen city of Burlington, Vt, North Pownal, of Pownal, Vt representing 100000 spindles; Monadnock mills of Clare mont, N. H.. and the Cocheco mill of Dover N H.; the Bernon mills of Georgeville, R. l., and other plants in the latter state and several of the cor porations in the Quinebaug valley, eastern Connecticut.
 o many of the operatives the en- forced yacaffons are not altogether un- welcome, as they are enabled to visit their old homes in Canada, and the sea- son of the year is the most favorable to endure period of idleness. There is confident feeling in some cotton mill offices that after September is we'll advanced a general improvement in market conditions will occur.

Though the employees of nearly every shop In the city are enjoying a half holiday there are not so many people on the street as there has been when everybody was working.
