Carpenters the members Of which are en-
ployed exclusively as mill workers, report
that the differences between the employees
and employers Of various mills have been
satisfactorily adjusted The disagreement,
which involved the question of hours and

ployes the proposition that they work nine
from May / and thereafter eight or eight
and half hours for one year. The union
refused to accept the proposition. 1t was
finally agreed that the eight-hour day
should date from June Is next, and in the
meantime the employees will work nine
hours day, with the exception of eight
hours on Saturdays. To this proposition,
1t is stated, the following named firms
have agreed: j. L. Crumper, w. H. Dyer,
Thomas Smith, Martin Weigand, Washing

Cally prevents fusion with any other

The resolutions cOngratu!ating Judge

thanks 10 the Republicans in other

tion of the election frauds in Denver

in Denver that they cannot steal
enough votes to overcome the honest
votes in other parts Of the state. The
resolutions denounced the GarwOOd
faction most SCathingly. and the rec
reant and faithless Republican city
administration for combining with a
criminal and corrupt Democratic pO-
lice force in appointing dishonest elec-
riOn Judges in order to steal the eleC-
tion. The resolutions denounced the
election committee of the city council
by name. Their appointment Of judges
was with the view to defeating any
rharter legislation and perperuatng
themselves in office.

The Pilot tells of NJ. de White one
of the most sensational anecdotes of
recent times, says the London Daily
News. On the declaration of the An
glo-Japanese Alliance-So runs the
yarn-the Russian generals were mad
for war, and their only misgiving was
lest NJ. de White should impose his
usual veto However, at the customary
State Council, presided over by the
Car, it was noted with satisfaction
that the spoil sport was absent. In
deed. he only put in an appearance
after the Car had been persuaded to
adopt an aggressive policy against
Great Britain. M. de White listened
and then, to the intense delight of
everybody, he proceeded to praise the
idea of war in the most eXtravagant
terms. His colleagues naturally in
quired of him by what means he pro-
posed to find the money, whereupon M
de White looked round him in panied
surprise. Surely your majesty does
not expect me to raise the money!"
he cried-laying especial emphasis on
the word me THE thing is i'm
possible. The treasury is practically
empty, and when 1 expressed approval
of the war 1 never dreamed but that
the generals who advised your majesty
to declare it had the money already
in hand"-at which bombshell the
council broke up in confusion, M. de
WHITE further explaining that the
armys ammunition had almost run
out!
