BIG MAIN SAIL
Bent, Thursday, by the Crew
of the Alliance.
The Defender to Have Innovation Of
Two Steering Wheels.
Believed That She Will Handle Better
Than Constitution.

Bristol, X. l., April a3.-Ine big main
sail on the Re'ia nee WIS bent. today.
by the crew of the zach and although
1t was only partially hoisted 1t gave
every indication of being Il beautiful
piece of canvas. The san is laced on
the boom and gaff IN the usual manner
and the crew by hard work succeeded
IN getting the sail bent and furled
within four hours.
1t developed. today. in making the
finishing touches on the bcg1 that the
Reliance will have an important inno-
>ation, two steering wheels. One of
the wheels was attached to the steering
cylinder; two days ago. but, today. an
other one Was placed on the cylinder a
few feet aft.
. From experience on the Constitution
it Is believed that the Reliance with
her longer keel, greater length over all
and larger sail spread. will carry in
heavy weather a considerable weather
helm. The Constitution also had n
weather helm and the quartermasters
found il difficult to steer her in a blow.
1t will he possible on the Reliance to
have four men at the helm.

IT WILL LAST.
No Early Settlement of the Lowell
Strike Is Now Expected.

| Boston, April 23.-The feeling in the
mill circles here is that the Lowell mill
strike will continue for some time not
withstanding the decision of the State
Board of Cancellation and Arbitration
that the Lawrence corporation is the
only one which can afford to pay a
10 per cent. advance.
So far as the six mills. in whose
! favor the decision is rendered, are con-
cerned, they will, according to a state
ment of one of the treasurers, today,
remain closed until the great body of
operatives in all departments indicate
their desire to return to work under
present conditions. Indeed, this may
be said to describe the condition of
affairs at the Lawrence mills.
Treasurer c. p. Baker of the latter
corporation, when asked what effect
the finding of the state board would
have upon the situation at his mill,
said he was unable to answer. LAS
l understand the report" he said, "the
decision that the Lawrence mills could
afford to pay the increase in wages
asked for, applies only to mule spin
ners, about 40 in number. l do not
understand that it applies to the rest
of the mill, but l don't care to say
anything on the subject until l have
seen the figures in the full report and
have obtained some light on the pro-
cesses by which the state board ar
rived at this conclusion"
Mr.. Baker would not say whether his
mill would advance the wages of the
mule spinners, but his manner gave
the impression that nothing of that
nature was likely to occur. 1t is thought
that the mills would not have paid
an increase in wages, even if the board
had reported that they could do so.
The treasurers seem to feel that the
strike will not end for some weeks
yet.
I'VE knew, three months ago, that
the national council was determined to
have wages raised in LoWell-regard-
less whether we could afford to increase
them-or order a strike there" said one
of the treasurers. THAT being the
case, / do not look for any immediate
break in the ranks of the strikers. A
good many would like to come back to
work, we know, but until the great
body of employees in all departments in
dictate their desire to return to work
we shall make no effort to start up
our machinery" 'i 'e.r

COLLISION IN SOUND.
Barkentine Hattie G. Dixon Crashes In
to the Schooner S. S. Hudson. 4,

Vineyard Haven, Mass, April 23.-
While running through Vineyard
sound, early today, the big coal laden
barkentine Hattie G. Dixon ran into
and badly damaged the three-masted
schooner S. S. Hudson. The Dixon
had her jibboom broken but sustained
no other damage and no person on
either vessel was injured.
The barkentine is bound from Phil
adelphia to Boston and is in charge of
Captain Shanks. The schooner was
bound from Laneseville Cape Ann, for
Philadelphia, with a cargo OF paving
stones. While the schooner lay at an
chor between East chop and Hedge
Fence shoal, at $50 A. NJ, the barken-
tine appeared and crashed into the mo-
tionless vessel. Most of the damage
done was to the rigging and the
schooner did not sink. She had her
fere starboard chain plates and much of
her fore. main and mizzen rigging car
ried away. Several stanchions and
part of the main rail on the starboard
bow were broken and she sustained
other damage.
The Dixon had her jibboom broken,
but as the injury did not seriously
cripple her she proceeded on her
voyage. Extensive repairs will be
made to the schooner before she can
get away.
1t is not clear which vessel is the most
to blame for the collision.

ISLE OF PINES ACTION.

Havana, Dec. 10.-The Cabinet has
ordered the establishment of a Custom
House on the Isle Of Pines. thus con-
ceding all the desires of the American
residents except the American school,
II is thought this action will help reci-
procity.
When Cuba ratified her treaty with
the United States she refusedsto reGog-
nize the Platt amendment. She thus
retained sovereignty over the Isle OF
Pines. Americans own and occupy
over two thirds Of the land there and
have hitherto protested against Cuba
collecting taxes and customs receipts
from them and spend the money so col
leCted in Cuba. Although the Ameri-
cans constitute almost all of the popu-
lation the schools are sail conducted
in Spanish.
