WILL RESIST CUT IN WAGES
THIRTY THOUSAND COTTON MILL
OPERATIVES AT FALL RIVER
DECIDE TO STRIKE.

Fall River, Mass, July 22.-The sen.
ument displayed by the cotton mill
operatives of this city following their
vote of about to 1 in favor of strik.
ing next Monday against the 12k pei
cent reduction in wages, seems more
bitter against the manufacturers than
at any time in recent years. Under
the restrictions Of secrecy prior tc
their meeting the operatives had not
been generally outspoken. With the
removal Of that bar torrent of indig'
nation has been released and there is
now no doubt in the minds of citizens
that the action in joining the strike,
If it takes place next Monday, will be
nearly unanimous among the 10000
mill hands.
The general sentiment seems to be
one of sympathy for the operatives.
The gravity of the situation is recog.
nized and business men are blue.

Annual Meeting Of Stockholders Of
the Northern Pacific.
New York, July 22.-The annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
which has been adjourned from time
to time since October, 1908, has been
adjourned indefinitely. In explanation
Daniel s. Lamont, vice president OF
the company, issued a statement in
which he said that the continuation
of the Injunction granted on the ap.
plication of Messrs. Hartman and
Pierce, trustees, which prohibits the
distribution of stock owned by the
Northern Securities company, makes
1t impossible to meet the requirements
of the charter of the Northern Pacific
company, which prohibits the transac-
ton Of any business at stockholders
meetings unless a majority of the out
standing stock is present and voting.
Much more than majority of stock
Is owned by and registered in the
name Of the Northern Securities COM
pany and under the decree of the
United States court such stock so reg
istered is prohibited from voting.
AS long as the recent injunction pre-
walls there can be no distribution to
its shareholders by the Northern Sc
curities company and no valid meet
ing of the Northern Pacific stockhold.

FOLK NAMED FOR GOVERNOR

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 22.-After

Democratic state convention unani.
mously nominated Joseph w. Folk, cir

Wanted for Democratic Chairman Il
German Declines.
New York, July 22.-If Senator Cor
man will not take the Craftsmanship
bf the Democratic national committee
the men who have been pushing him
for the place will turn their attention
to William F. Sheehan and try to Sc
cure his election by the national com
mittee. The friends of Judge Parker
are anxious to have Mr.. German, but
they recognize that his declinatfol
means that the place cannot be forced
upon him. They say, however, that
Mr.. Sheehan must accept if Judge Par
ker insists, or if his immediate advis
ers say that he must take the place.
The reason why either German OF
Sheehan is preferred over Thomas
Taggart of Indiana is understood tt
be because of the belief that either OF
them would be able to command the
attention of Eastern business men and
secure large campaign fund. While
the judges advisers say that Tag
CART will be amply provided for in ar
advisory capacity they think that eth
er German or Sheehan, with the wide
knowledge they have of campaign
methods in the East, would be bettel
able to conduct the campaign.

SAID RUSSIA WILL YIELD
Good Authority For the Statement That
Russia Will Yield In the Malacca
Seizure Case.

st. Petersburg, July 22.-The Asso-
ciated Press has an excellent reason
for stating that Russia will yield in
the Malacca case, release the steamer
in accordance with the British demand
and express regret at her detention.
The exact status of the case at pres.
ent is as follows:
Count Benckendorff, the Russian am.
bassador to Great Britain, has asked
of Lord Lansdowne official assurance
that the munitions on board were Brit
ish government stores. If abis is given
orders will instantly be issued to re-
lease the vessel. At the same time
Great Britain will be notified that
ships stopped by Russia whose. mani

Russia will maintain the legality of
the status of the Smolensk and St. Pc
tersburg as warships. They are under
the orders of the admiralty and were
commissioned by the admiralty's in
structions. Under the regulations Of
the volunteer fleet Russia claims that
ships belonging thereto can be con.
verted into warships without previous
notice, upon orders from the admi-
rally.
The suggestion is made that if Great
Britain persists in raising the issue
of the status of the volunteer feet
cruisers now in the Red sea, Russia
will offer to refer the case to the ar
bitration tribunal at The Hague.
