to the union and declare that they will

NO CUT AT LEWISTON.
Fall River Conditions Have No Claim,
on Spindle City Mills.

Portland. Me-. Nov. 1.-THE 10 per
cent, cut in wages announced by the
Fall River cotton mills, today, is not
expected to affect the dozen cotton mills
in this State, as the conditions in all
the Maine mills are similar to those at
Lowell and Manchester where only the
better class of goods are manufactured.
When prices were advanced at Fall
River, two years ago, there was some
claim for an equivalent advance at the
Lewiston mills, which employ 5000
hands. The manufacturers contended
that where the Fall River mills manu-
featured sneeting, plain and colored
goods, q distinct and separate class of
work, and there was no basis for an
advance. The same condition holds
good on Il decline of wages. it is UNDER
stood and the prices in the Maine mills
as result are expected to remain I'M
changed The Lewiston mills have a
three months supply of cotton on hand.

THE FRiARS' DEMANDS
Materially Reduced as to Price De-
manded for Their Holdings.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Advices reaching
the war department from Manila indicate
that before he sails for the United States,
Dec. %, Gov. Taft will have succeeded
in settling the claims of the friars for
their extensive property holdings in the
islands.
Negotiations to this end have been in
progress at Manila between Gov. Taft and
Mgr. Guidi. the Papal delegate. ever since
the governors return to the islands from
Rome. The main obstacle to a settlement
appears to have been an issue between
the Papal delegate and the religious or
ders as to the proportion of the purchase
money to be paid by the insular govern.
ment that was to be turned over to Rome.
The friars naturally desired to receive
the major part of the allotment and
when they learned that the church insist
ed upon a certain sum they sought to
make good their own proportion by in
creasing the sum total of the price de-
manded for the lands. This ran the total
up to about $l4.000,000 sum entirely. be-
yond any figure which the insular govern
ment was willing to consider.
Realizing that with Gov. Taft's depart
ure the chances of a settlement would
become more remote. the church authori-
ties have, it is learned, brought pressure
to bear upon the friarS. with tire, result
that the insuar government expects.to be
able to acquire their entire holdings in
the Philippines for a sum approximate ting

day, through an Associated Press dis
patch. Mr. Gompers said that it was too
soon for him to enter into a discussion of

say at present was that it was unjust
and unwise at this time to make this re

SHIPPING TRADE DEPRESSION
Al Liverpool Causes Talk Of an Inter
national Combination.

Liverpool, Nov. 1.-THE depression
in the sailing shipping trade is SO seri-
Gus as to have led to a drastic pro-
posal on the part of the Liverpool
owners for an International combina-
ton whereby a certain proportion of
the sailing tonnage of Great Britain,
France and Germany should tempo
rarily be laid up, with the view of inn
proving the freight market.
Meetings have been held of the Ger
man and British owners. and the
French owners will meet, Thursday. to
discuss the crisis. which is attributed
here to the freight cutting tactics of
the French, who. in consequence of
state subsidies, are enabled to accept
lower rates. 1t is hoped that the dis
cussion will lead to steps which will
ameliorate the situation.

HE MAY BE RIGHT
But All His People Do Not
Agree With Him.
Many Antrim, N. H., People Sign
Petition to Ex-Gov. GoodeII
Asking Him to Remove Stigma of His
"Black List"

Antrim, n. H., Nov. ia large num-
Der of the residents of Antrim have
united in movement to have their
names removed from the liquor black
list which was posted, last week, in a
hotel at Hillsborough Bridge by For
mer Governor David H. Goodell of this
town. The hotel is the only place in
this section where liquor is sold, and
under the new license laws, the ex-
governor, acting in his capacity of JUS
tice of the peace. was able to place the
names of all the male residents of
Antrim, more than q years of age, on
list posted at the hotel. The landlord
was ordered to sell no liquor to anyone
whose name was thus posted.
The EX-GOVERNOR action created
much opposition, and as a result, 141
of the 40 persons whose names We're
used have presented a formal demand
to Mr.. Goodell that they be removed
from the blacklist. The text of the de-
mand follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, learning that
our names are on what is termed the
Black list containing the names of the
voters ard male residents of Antrim
WHICH Sou NduSCd " w pletNSu III liS
bar room of the Valley Hotel in Hills
borough, where liquors are sold, hereby
demand of you that our names be
stricken from said list at once. We con-
slider your action in this matter an in
suit to our fair town and her people,
and a detriment to our good name and
standing and for this reason make the
above demand"
The circulators of the petition state
that the signatures on the demand
present do not include all who are in
sympathy with the move. The sgners
are headed with names of the members
of the board of selectmen and membres
of the school board, and scattered all
down the list are the names of substan-
tial business men.
Mr. Goodell says: Il have received
the paper demanding the withdrawal of
the names, but have determined upon
no definite action as yet I can see no
reason for q change in the position orig
inally taken by me in the matter and
shall make none until further consider
alton has been given. I am much sur
prised and disappointed that the people
here feel that they have been misused
by me. / can't see yet how it was pos
sible to come to any such conclusion"

FRIENDLIEsT OF FEELING
Held by Russia Toward America, Says
Ambassador Cassini.

New York. Nov 11.-Before departing
for Washington. today Count Cassin, the
Russian ambassador, in an interview said
in regard to the Tien Tsin dispatch to the
London Daily Mail published. today, that
Russia was evacuatng Korea, that Rus
STA had no troops in Korea itself, having
only small adjacent stations at Masanpho
and Chemulpho. The feeling of Russia
toward America he said. was one of the
utmost friendship. though the feelings of
the Russians had been somewhat wounded
by the American attitude in the kshinefr
incident and the American petition, the
effect of which he compared with Rus
sian petition on the race problem in
America. The whole incident. he hoped
was now closed and in its grave. Not
only was the Russian government friend
ly, but the same feelings existed among
the Russian people. LII.
