Fall River, Mass. Jan. 1S-A cot ference between representatives of th{ nearly 26,00O striking cotton mill opera tives here and committee of the man ufacturers will be held at the state house in Boston tomorrow.
 The five unions of textile workers voted tonight delegating to the textile council power to settle the strike at to-morrow's conference. Similar au- thority was given to committee of five appointed by the manufacturers at 3 meeting tonight
 The unusual and radical action is the result of the good offices of Cover Tor Douglass, who has actively inter ested himself in an endeavor to bring about an amicable end of the unfortu- nate condition which has prevailed in this city for the past twenty five weeks. and whose personal representative. Herbert T. Drake. has been laborinH here for the past three weeks to bring the contending parties into an attitude for adjudication.
 It is stated on excellent authority that the contending parties were given. to understand that the governor would not act as a consolidating agent unless the manufacturers and operatives would delegate absolute power to their representatives In mutual conference and it was to reach a conclusion on this point that meetings were held this afetrnoon and evening.
 All the meetings of the operatiV unions were largely attended, and all but two cases those of the weay and mule spinners, the vote was uns imous. Each union elected two delegaH who. with president John Golden a Secretary Albert Hilbert of the Uni Textile Workers union. will comp the operatives committee at the ference.
 President Golden of the Te union said after the meeting thai was pleased at the action; that it M do away with much loss of tin1s{ | there was no propositie N delegates nor before any of the unions, and that the delegates would go to the conference unpledged as to any specific line of action, but with the hope Of an amicable agreement.
 MT. Drake leet for Boston late to-. night. To a representative of The As sociated Press he said:
 .sThe situation looks very bright to. night, and am very much pleased with the results so far obtained Beth sides seems disposed to effect a settle ment, and have met with the heartiestS cooperation on the part of both man ufacturers and operatives.

RUSSIA CLAIMS FINE
 CONDITION FINANCIALLY
FIGURES OF IMPERIAL BUDGET
 ISSUED YESTERDAY.


 Continuing Throughout 1905 is in
 Part Already AyaiIable-$5, ,O0O for
 Double Tracking Siberian RaiIroad-
 Monetary System of Empire Not Im-
 paired by the War.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-In the im- perial budget for 1905, the ordinary revenue is estimated at $9SS, ,522,S ,SO4, and the! extraordinary revenue at $S,794, 4,319. The ordinary expenditure is estimated at S,0S2,7s5, and the extraordinary ex- penditures at SSs,2S4.S42.
 The finance minister's statement points out that in accordance with the law of 1890, the budget includes no cred its for war expenditure. The minister calculates that the money required in the event of the war continuing throughout 1905. is in part already available, while the remainder can be raised without difficulty. It is estimated that by the end of 1904, total of $310,- 100000 will be produced by the extraor- dinary war credits opened by all the departments of the administration and this will cover portion of the ex- pendlture for 1905. The. ready cash in the imperial treasury on January 1, 1904, amounted to $176,0OO00o, which by re- trenchment in the state expenditures, the issue of treasury bills, etc., was raised to $35s, 100000, which was utiliz- ed for war expenditure in 1904.
 The extraordinary railway expendi- ture includes $5,0O0,00O for double track ing the Siberian railway and an addi- tional s900, 900 assigned to the account of the trans-Baikal railway, The minister's estimates are evidently based on the belief that the war has had no appreciable effect on commercial activity ;and referring to the financial and economical position of the empire, he expressly states that all his data are calculated to strengthen rather than to shake confidence in Russian finance. Although it is eleven months since the war began, the minister says, the mon etary system of the empire remains per fectly steady and the price of the rou- ble has not changed. Through realiza- tions of five per cent. treasury bonds abroad the amount of gold in the treas ury rose from s529,00O, 900 at the end or 1903, to s614, ,50O, 900 on July IA, 1904, and this amount has not decreased up to De cember Fl. This condition of the gold reserve was a favorable symptom. The harvest of 1904 yielded 26,10o,oOO,Ooo pounds, being 6.4 per cent in excess of the harvest of 1902, and was the most plentiful year of the last decade.
 The effect of the war has made itself principally felt in decreased produc- tion of articles of luxury.
 The value of Russias foreign trade the first eleven months of 1904 amount ed to $697 ,500,0 falling but little short of the figures for the exceptionally fa- yorable year of 1903! h.
 The minister adds that no far reach- ing disturbance of state and national economy has yet appeared indicating that the first year of the war has pass ed satisfactorily from an economic point of view, although the effect of the war on the country's economic condition is irdisputable t't.

 Port au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 1S.--Mr. Powell, the American minister has in-| formed the government of Hayti that the United States government refuses to recognize the validity of the sem tence in contumacy for fifteen years at hard labor pronounced by the Haytien court against Jaeger Huber, an Ameri- can citizen for alleged complicity in bond frauds against the admins of former President Simon Sam and of ! ficers of the bank of Hayti.

Garrison Was Not Starving. .
 London, Jan. 14.-The correspondent at Port Arthur of the Times says:
 'The total number of soldiers, sea men and civilians in Port Arthur at the beginning of the siege was 55,0OO.
 There are no signs of privation here. There was food sufficient for two months and the surrender of the Rus sian garrison is inexplicable.'
 The Daily Mails Tokio correspondent gives story to the effect that all the money in Port Arthur was divided among the Russian officers, and when this was discovered, a bitter feeling arose in the army any navy which was largely responsible for the fall of the fortress.

and the strikers and their sympathiz-
ers were terrorized and for the time
subdued. The commander of the
troops, "Cavaignac the bloody" was
named for president of the republic,
but was overwhelmingly defeated by
Louis Napoleon, the man whom a
coup d'etat afterward made the en-
perOr of France.
Among the bloody deeds perpetrat-
ed in France in the days of the COM
mune following the great revolution of
1889 foremost place in history is
given to the massacre in the fields

That day petition was to be signed
asking the national convention to ar
raign for trial the craven king, Louis
XVI, who had fled in terror from
Paris. Rumors of riot and carnage at
the place where the petition was be-
ing signed, the Field of Mars, reached
Danton, Marat, Robespierre and the
other revolutionary leaders, and La
Fayette was sent with troops to quell
the disturbance. Stones and mud were
thrown at the soldiers and they fred
into the dense unarmed mass, killing
and ;wounding.

The Planning of a Barn,

H. Ii am building a basement
barn 60x35 feet and would be glad if
you could inform me through your
columns, how many posts and joists
would be necessary and their dimen-
sions. The basement would be used
as COW stabling, Z feet high, and the
upper part will be 20 feet What
would be the best way of framing the
upper part, which would be used as
threshing floor and hay-mows?
For barn IS 60 feet, the posts
20 feet high, should be twelve inches
square. If the bents are placed the
following distances apart they make
a very handy barn: First NOW eight
cen feet, then a driveway of twelve
feet. then another OF fourteen feet,
and one of sixteen feet, making in all
sixty feet In the fourteen feet space,
beside the driveway, an overlap Of six
feet should be made; this gives a
thresh floor eight cen feet wide and
also room for a team to be taken out
of the barn alorsstde q loaded

the author tells how Gen. U. S. Grant
looked in the early days of the war:
while thus waiting I noticed a gen.
tleman come down the gang plank
and approach us, seemingly for the
purpose of speaking to u.s. He was
of medium height, had broad and
rather rounded shoulders, auburn
hair, sandy whiskers, clear blue eyes,,
very quiet, modest expression and
appeared to be perhaps little more
than 80 years of age. He wore a
blue sack coat and blue trousers,
somewhat worn, but we'll brushed and
cared for. which I afterward learned
was the fatigue uniform of the Unit
ed States army. He was smoking a
cigar, which he removed as he came
near us and raised his hat, but gave
us no other greeting. We soon saw
that instead of being interested in
us he was interested in Roses Ken
lucky mare. He looked the mare over
with great interest for considerable
time, putting away at his cigar, but
without speaking. Then. again re-
moving his cigar and raising his hat,
he returned on board the boat"

solution in the market but to reduce
the six weeks necessary to the pres

OF few hours. This new process,
which has just been patented in Ber-

skins and render them thoroughly
waterproof. The hides are depilated
and cleansed as usual, placed in a So
luton of chloride of. sodium for two
to four hours and then rinsed slightly
with water. Next they are placed in
the tanning liquor, which may con-
tain any kind of tin compound from
which collodial oxide can be easily
precipitated by hydrolysis, and in two
hours the hides are ready to be
washed thoroughly, cleansed. and fin

There is an agitation in France
against the flowery politeness which
winds up a letter. Frenchmen are
asking why they should write: "Ac-
cept the assurance of my most distin-

fed, as we'll as concise, if the person

from an old republican colleague. The
