FALL RIVER STRIKE ENDS.
SETTLED THROUGH MEDIAT1oN

The Question OF Wages to be Cen.

the Outcome as q victory.

Boston. Mass, January iS-sThe strike
OF the cotton mill operatives at Fali
River. which affected about 5000 per-
sons. and has been in progress for six
months. to the great hardship and SUI
fering of Fall Rivers people, was set
tied today through the mediation OF
lGovernor William L. Douglass. Under
the terms OF an agreement accepted by
both manufacturers and operatives at
a conference held at the state house to-
day. the strikers will return to work
at once under the 1e l.? per cent. reduc-
ton. against which they struck last
July, and with no discrimination be-
cause OF the strike. No rate of wages
was established. but IL was agreed that
Governor Douglass shall investigate the
matter of margins between the cost
OF cotton TO the mill owners. and the
selling price of the cloth, and submit
his conclusions as to an average mar
gin, upon which the manufacturers are
to pay dividend OF per cent. on
wages earned from the present time to
April 1st.
Both sides regard the outcome of the
deliberations as victory.
The strikers committee EXPRESSED
great satisfaction with today's terms OF
settlement, believing that the evident
spirit of the manufacturers to pay, at
least until April "a dividend, or increase.
should the margin reach the figure
which Governor Douglas will fix. is an
indication that the mill owners will aim
to lay down such wages as will not be
Incompatible with reasonable profits for
the mill stockholders.
The manufacturers on the other hand,
feel that their contention that they are
Tow paying wages as high as conditions
will warrant, will be established by the
governors investigation.
Governor Douglass in a statement Is
sued after the conference expressed es-
pecial pleasure that the manufacturers
had accepted even modified form OF
arbitration and said that he felt assur-
ed that the arbitration seed now planted
would grow in few years TO a point
that would prevent a recurrence OF
these demoralizing and pitiful strikes"

RECENT CAMPAIGN CHARGES.
MFR. Stone Introduces Resolution Tha,

sion of Statehood Bill Continues.

Washington, January 18.-The charges
of improperly made in connection with
the campaigns of 1898 and 1904 were
for time today revived and made the
subject of discussion in the Senate: The
question was raised by Mr.. Stone in a
speech in support of his resolution pro-
viding for an investigation OF the
charges. He used with much freedom
the names of President Roosevelt.
Judge Parker and Chairman Cortelyou
and again traversed the allegations
that Mr.. Corteiyou had used the infor-
nation secured by him as secretary or
commerce and labor to secure money
from the trusts.
The discussion of the statehood bill
continued. with Messrs. Clay. Nelson,
Bailey and stewart as speakers. The
former Senator and late vice presiden-
tial candidate. Hon. Henry Gassaway
Davis was a visitor on the floor OF the
Senate during the day. He was cor
daily received by Senators generally
and especially by Senator Fairbanks.

Taking up the charges made during
the campaign that Mr.. Cortelyou had
used his secret official information as
a cabinet officer to secure contributions
Mr.. stone said he could neither affirm
nor deny this terrible Indictment" be-
cause he did not know. II only know,
he said. that the damning admission
stands that the trusts did supply Mr.,
Cortelyou campaign funds. Moreover
Mr.. Cortelyou has never made answeI

that Mr.. Cortelyou. or that any man oI
character. would prostitute Official op-

SMALLPOX AT UNIVERSITY

Especial to The Messenger.)
Chapel Hill, N. c., January 1S.-Mr
William P. James. astudent in the Uni
versity of North Carolina, was quaran-
tined this afternoon because of small
pox. Mr.. James had been feeling rather
unwell for several days and decided to
call in the college physician this morn
ing. Upon examination it was found
smallpox. When this fact became
known he was Immediately placed un-
der a strict quarantine. Mr. James
rooms in the Delta Kappa Epsilon fra
ternity house, of which fraternity he
is a member. There are nine members
Of the fraternity rooming in the house,
and these have been quarantined also.
Mr.. James has a very light form of the
disease, and will soon be entirely well.
He is a member Of the medical school,
and his home is at Laurinburg, N. c..
The board of aldermen of the town
at called meeting held this afternoon
decided to institute compulsory vacci-
nation tomorrow morning to prevent
any possible spread Of the disease. This
step is simply taken as preventive,
and not through any real fear that the
disease will spread In view of the fact
that parents throughout the state may
feel anxious concerning their sons at the
university, the authorities wish to in
form them that there is not the slight
est danger of the disease spreading,
since it has been checked already and
the case is under rigid surveillance.

temptuously pooh-poohing and ignoring

temptuously pooh pooling and ignoring
it,"
Senator stone said Mr.. Cortelyou
was clothed with inquistorial authority
to spy into the secrets OF the trusts,
and power also was given to make his
discoveries public at the discretion of
the President. This man and this off,
cial the President himself selected for
chairman of the Republican national
committee. The circumstances OF this
appointment were curiously significant.
If not sinister, and the suspicious inevi-
tably excited by them have provoked
a situation greatly to be regretted. This
accusing fact will not down, that the
trusts did fill Mr.. Cortelyou's campaign
Golfers to overfiowing. Happily we have
the comforting assurance, vouchsafed
both by Mr. Root and the President,
that the trusts had no improper motive
ir making these contributions. and that
no improper means were used to induce
them. These, instead, were virtuous
trusts, and theirs an idealistic self-sac-
ri1cing patriotism. They scorned all
base expectation OF favors to come. and
SECUTED the very thought that their
gold would be used to corrupt"
these assurances without question. and
that the resolution of inquiry therefore
should be adopted. He also expressed
the opinion that the Presidents charges
against the Democratic campaign man
cement should be inquired into. Mr.
Stone based his demand for an inquiry
into the campaign OF 1896 on the allc-
cations of Thomas w. Lawson, made In
a recent magazine article. The Senator
was himself vice chairman OF the DEM
| ocratic national committee during the
campaign. but he said that he did not
propose to testify. Many thousand peo-
ple he said, believed that election to
have been bought and that fact alone
would Justify an inquiry.
Referring incidentally TO the bill In.
troduced by Mr.. Platt of New York, TO
reduce the congressional representation
Of Southern States because Of the I'M
position OF qualification on the right
| Of suffrage he said:
'~The conspiracies are not only a
crime against the suffrage. formed In
New York TO debauch the electorate.
but a crime Immediately 3ubversive OF
representative government, and 10 IT'S
/ suppression the Senator from New York
| might profitably devote his soiictious
attention"
Mr.. Clay spoke in opposition to tho
statehood bill. He went into the de-
tails of the division OF New Mexico,
when the territory OF Arizona was
created, saying that the division was
made OF the unwieidy size Of the terri
tory and contending that IL the area
embraced was too extensive from enc
! territory 1t Is too large for one state.
He said the two territories cover an
area larger than half Of Europe. Mr..
Clay said he had no objection To the
consolidation OF Oklahoma ana Indian
Territory.
Mr.. Clay made the prediction that al
some time in the future the people sf
Texas would take advantage or their
privilege OF dividing that state into ave
states.
The senate adjourned until tomor-
row.
