HOW MILLS ARE RUNNING.
Fall River CurtaiIment Plans in Oper.
alton.

Fall River, June 23.-Many manufac-
turers are SO shaping their deliveries
that they will be able to close their
mills during the whole of Fourth of
July week.
The plan of curtailment being fol-
lowed now is as follows: Running
three days a week-WeetamOe
Wampanoag. Union, Leroy, Richard
Borden, Durfee, Cornell. Sycamore and
Flint mills. Four days week-King
Philip, Laurel. Lake, Pocasset.
Bernard. Five days-Parker 6. Har-
graves. Barnaby. Shut down this week
Stafford, Border City and Narragan-
sett.
The Mechanics Mills will be closed
two weeks within a short period, SO
that repairs can be made on floors.
The Cornell Mills. which have been
running three days a week, will close
Fourth of July week, and will run al
tcrnate weeks thereafter indefinitely.
The Davol Mills, which have been
running full time for three weeks. eX-
poet to close Fourth of July week.
The Merchants Mill. No. 2. is closed.
and will remain SO until a new pair of
engines have been installed. The
Anconia, which is running this week.
shuts down alternate weeks. All the
local fine-goods mills have more or
less looms idle, and in most instances
the preparatory machinery required in
supplying the looms is idle.
The Bourne and Chace mills are now
running substantially on full time.
In the case Of the Bourne Mills. where
q start was made this week. after one
idle period lasting from March II.
weavers from other parts of the city
have taken the place Of the strikers.
The Border City Mills are in their
fourth week of absolute idleness. The
figures show that about 1000 oper-
atives are being affected directly by
the short time. some being wholly out
of work and the larger portion being
employed four days n week or less.
Manufacturers are hoping now that
by the middle of next month the cur
tailment will begin to lessen. but up to
that time they expect to see more
rather than less closing.

WILLING TO FIGHT.
Gen. kuropatkin Makes Patriotic
Speech to Soldiers.

st. Petersburg, June 23.-1.10 P. NJ
The expectation of a great battle has
been intensified by Gen. kuropatkin'
speech to Gen. Stalkeberg's corps on
Monday atIkaichou when the COM
mander in chief said he would see the
troops again soon, that they must set
tie the Jaapnese promptly and that
they were not going home until this
had been done. The general is under
stood to have meant that he would re-
turn from Lao Yang with large
force and give battle. 1t is pointed out
that he can afford to leave compare
lively small garrison at Lao Yang in
view of the absence OF any direct adj
vance from Feng Wang Cheng and the
concentration Of the Japanese forces
south.
ao!i In the opinion Of many conservatives
g., military men Kuropatkin's massing of
~ troops at Kaichou does not necessarily
E indicate his intention to give battle,
but merely to check the Japanese ad-
vance and defer the occupation of New
'rChwang, the possession Of which would
a be Of great advantage to the Japanese
during the rainy season. affording the
enemy housing accommodations and
enabling them to land supplies and
harass the Russians. The occupation
