TRADE IS SLOW.
And a General Shut Down of Silk Mills May
 Follow.

New York, April 21.--A general shutdown of silk mills in Paterson and other pants of New Jersey and in Pennsylvania is threatened, as a re- suit of the paucity of orders for the fall trade. The manufacturers talk of closing their mills next month and not resuming operations until Septem- Der unless business revives, 8 contin- gency which they now scarcely expect. No concerted action is to be taken, but it is said that the conditions are such that practically all the mills will be obliged either to curtail pro- duction much more than at present on shut down entirely. Orders now on hand are said to be barely sufficient for the looms until the middle of May.
 Most of the silk men ascribe the dullness in trade to such causes as the presidential election. unfavorable weather and the reduction in demand for the higher priced fabrics because of general financial conditions.
 Thousands of persons i'll Paterson and surrounding cities would be af- fected by the shutting down of the mills

Accordingly the prisoners were discharged and the jury dismissed.

BAY STATE
 DEMOCRATS Olney and Hearst
 Forces at it. Friends of the Latter Given Representation on the Various Committees Big Hearst Delegation Failed to Make Hit.

Boston, April 21.-Before the demo- cratic state convention, called for the purpose of selecting delegates at large to the national body at St Louis. as- semDled here to-day, there were indi- actions of 8 more harmonious session than the leaders previously had ex- pected.
 The names of those which the olney faction expected to introduce as candi, dates for delegates at large are: Col onel William A. Gaston and Mayor Patrick A. Collins of Boston. William F. Douglass of Brockton and Congress- man John R. Thayer of Worcester. The Hearst ticket consisted of George Fred Williams, George E. McNeil of Cambridge, Joseph A. Smith of Wor- cester and Charles A. Dean of Wake field.
 About two hundred Hearst men who had assembled at the Revere house marched into the hall headed by MT Williams. without any demon stration. Temporary organization was effected and several committees were appointed without objection When James B Carroll of Springfield moved that a committee on resolutions 1 be named with the qualification that to that committee should be referred
 
 bate. there was stir among the Olney delegates. The motion was carried five to one. Then began a series of motions and counter-motions which l kept the chairman busy. His firmness, however, brought the convention back to the routine program. On each committee appointed the Hearst dele gates were given two to four places. It was announced that there would be no official ballot for delegates at large. The delegates were informed that their credentials would be official ly punched as they passed the ballot box. Two ballots known by name as the Olney and Hearst were presented. The Olney ballot contained the names of William A. Gaston, Boston; Patrick A. Collins, Boston; William l.. Douglas, Boston, and John R. Thayer of Wor- cester. The Hearst ballot had the names of George Fred Williams of Dedham, George E. McNeil of Cam- bridge, Charles A. Dean of Wakefield and James A. Smith of Worcester.
 The baIloting consumed an hour. Meanwhile Mir Carroll. chairman of the committee on resolutions, presented the platform, which was entirely i'll favor of Olney as a candidate, making reference to no other topic. The last part of the platform urged the dele gates to cast their ballots as unit for Mir Olney in the convention unSfS the nomination shall be made or his name should be withdrawn by authority.
 The first mention of Olney's name l brought out prolonged applause, but when that portion relating to the unit rule for governing the delegates was reached there was an uproar. The convention was swept with turmoil, cheers for O1ney and Hearst being con- tinually given. In an instant of quiet the minority report from the commit tee on resolutions was presented.

 Summer.

Washington, April 21.-The German embassy will be established at Lenox, Mass, for the summer, and the ambas- sador will raise the embassy flag there early in June. The ambassador ex- poets to remain there until October.

 The Russian ambassador and the Countess Cassini, with the embassy staff, will transfer the embassy to Bar Harbor. Me, for the entire~summer.
 The French ambassador and Madame Jusserand will spend the summer in France and the embassy probably will be transferred to Manchester blythe Sea, with the first secretary in charge.
 Private advices recently received at the Italian embassy say that the Ital- ian ambassador and Signora Mayor des Planches will return to this country in June, but the locality of the embassy for the summer has not been setued upon.

FARNUn WAS SICK.
The "Ben Hur" of the Spectacular
 Play Acted Under Difficulties.

Few persons In the vast audience which witnessed the prOdustiOn of the ponderous spectacle, Ben Hur. aE Polls theater on Tuesday night. slisz ,l3eeted even for a moment that tIsS hero of tie play. William Farnuni, who has scored a decided hit by his portrayal of the leading role of Ben Hur, was suffering from a serious III ness and was on the verge of collapse. They knew not that this apparently strong, robust, powerful actor of fine physique and good looks was enacting his part under the greatest difficulty, that every act and move added 10 lis sufferings and that he was being treated by a physician during the greater part of the performance. Nh Farnum did his work nobly Crder tie circumstances and it was only sErough his great strength and iaaomifablN will that he was able to last through all of the six acts.
 MT Farnum was a very sick man. Dr Goodrich, who was called from the audience to treat him, told him after the play that he must rest for a few days at least if he wished to continue his acting during the remainder of the season. He was suffering from an at+ tack of pleurisy. Mir Farnum decided to follow the physicians advice and yesterday morning left for New York. He expects to regain his health in time to take part in the engagement in Worcester next week.
 The part of Ben Hur was played aE the two performances yesterday by Alphonz Ethier, who enacted the role of Messala in the two previous per- formances. He was suffering from severe cold and consequently his work was not as good as it is generally.
 The production of Ben Hur'' was not such a grand success financially as 1t was expected to be. The ats tendance on Monday and Tuesday, nights was fine, but yesterday it fell far below expectations. More money would probably have been made if fiat scale of $1.50 had been charged for seats. Two dollars is rather deep for such production as Ben Hur, which is chiefly spectacular.

 Others Will be Prepared To-Night

The democrats will have a primary contest tomorrow afternoon and even ing for the purpose of electing dele gates to elect delegates to choose rep resentatiyes to the national convention and to pass upon rules for future gov ernment of the local democracy. Lead CTS of both elements are reticent ~e- sarding their views on the questions at issue, still enough has leaked out to warrant the statement that there is d ticket in each of the several wards with delegates in favor of Parker and another containing the names of men supposed to be favorable to Hearst. Aside from this there is & fight on for supremacy among a few fellows wno calm the right to lead the party il Ine1r respective wards and to help matters along there is some difference over the new rules to be voted on.
 The Whiting-McEvoy ticket in the hrst ward is said to be for Parker, while the Reichenbach-Dela men are said to be independent.
 The second ward ticket with the name of l. Chase at it's head is said to be out for Parker, although II. NJ. Rig ney, who wants to see it win, informed reporter that the delegates are no mans men, and J. w. Burns. who is one of the leaders back of the opposi- ton ticket, says that the one he hopes to see win out is not pledged. either. MT Burns admits. however, that if the Chase ticket is for Parker the other is for Hearst, which is simply another way of admitting that one is Parker and the other is Hearst
 The Wells -Guilfoile cohorts in the third district will march behind Par ker banner.
 The Ray-Magner men in the fourth ward are credited with being strong Parker supporters.
 The Halpin- Hurley forces are said to be unpledged. although the knowing ones put them down as safe for Par ker. One of the fifth ward chiefs told a reporter that 1t was a plain, every day democratic ticket. nothing more and nothing less. He was frank enough to admit that the men who prepared the ticket are not in favor of the new rules.
