says jealousy between Inannaquina' S

A return issued by the Turkish au-

122 killed and 145 wounded. A compar-

the number wounded shows that no quar-

LANDSLIP FATAL TO 16.

rled into Pit, 100 Feet Deep.
Sixteen persons are believed to have
persisted in landslip which occurred at
Haverstraw, n. Y, about IL o'clock
Monday night. The landslide occurred
at the end of Rockland street, and eight
houses were carried over a clay bank
into the brick excavations, dropping
down 100 feet The slide is supposed to
have been caused by the fact that those
working in the brick yards dug too close
to the end of the street. Most of the
people were in bed when the catastrophe
took place. Immediately after the slide
the houses caught fire and the persons
who went down persisted in the flames, it
is believed. The great slip of clay car
ried away the water main which sup
piled the fire hydrants, and when the
firemen arrived at the scene they found
no water with which to extinguish the
blaze in the ruins.

Agriculture. Secretary Wilson says
that these farmers will send six mil
lion bushels of their crop to France,
Italy and other parts of Europe this
year Half of this amount gees to the
macaroni- makers of France. Six mil
lions bushels is a small amount in
comparison with the total wheat ex-
ports, but six years ago this country
exported no wheat of this kind, and it
was only five years ago that the first
seed was distributed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Results of this
kind amply justify the existence Of

more or less longer than eight hours.
As to the changes accompanying or
following the reductions in working
hours, it is shown that of the 396 estab-

or 1873 per cent, report no reduction in
wages as having followed the curtail-
ment Of working hours; in % establish
ments reduction of wages was report
ed, but the amounts represented much
smaller percentage than that Of the re-
duction in hours. In AZ establishments
an increase in wages was made at the
same time the working hours were re-
duced
The effect in the reduction in working
hours is gone into and show on state
ments made by manufacturers, based on
carefully kept accounts, both before and
after the change, to have caused in
creases in the cost of production in 297
establishments. the percentages. ranging
from 4 to 20 and over, the average in

being 10 per cent.
Thirty-one establishments, or 9.3 per
cent, of the total number included in the
inquiry, report no decrease in the guam
tity Of product as result of the reduc
ton in working hours; but, on the other
hand, 3O3 establishments. of 90.7 per

cent of the total number, report de-
creases ranging from 10. to 20 per cent,
the average for all being 16 per cent.
A falling off in the quantity of product
per employee mean. of course, a smaller
output and smaller business for the
establishment, unless the same is offset
by an increase in the number of em-
ployces, an increase in the number. of
days in operation. or the use of improved
machinery or methods of production.
The report shows that out of the total
number of establishments investigated,
226. or ST. per cent. were compelled,
as the result of diminished output
following the shorter workday, to in
crease the number of employ ees; included
in this number were Is establishments
in which it was not only necessary to in

number of working days as well. OF
the 1896 establishments cons. .dered. only
81, or 9.3 per cent, report no increase
in the cost of production and no falling
