SHORTAGE 0F HELP
 RAISES THE PRICES  Cotton Mill CenteTs Complain Of IT Of Help and Decrease in PTodlciol
 Striking WeaYers at WoTt
FOUR MILLS RESUME WORK
.---7-3- 7.7EEg17 Three Thousand Striking Weavers Take Their Old Places at the
 Looms in Adams.

Boston. Aug 16.-Reports from many cotton mill centers state that in numerous mills the marked shortage of help which became apparent last spring still continues, although some of the corporations have made addi. tions to the names on their payrolls since the recent general advance aia wages. Many agents say that in the1 entire cotton textile trade there ha5 been curtailment of 20 per cent dur., ing the past two months. largely dueI to the shortage of help. The de-, creased production has affected tha cotton market to some extent and hss been influential, it is said, in lowerinh. the price of the raw material.
 In New England several strik2 \ have closed mills for week or more. thus taking large quantities of goods out of the market. On account of the curtailment of production, it is ex- pected that cotton goods will sell at higher prices.

LAUNCH CATCHES FIRE.
The Lady Bug, Captain Broadway
 Total Loss at MiddIetown.

Middletown, Aug 16.-As the result of gasolene explosion on Clarence F. Brockway's 20-foot launch, the "Lady Bug" last evening. damage was done to the extent of $25O and the boat was sunk at the pier of the Middletown Yacht club.
 Mir Broadway was filling his gaso- lene tank and because of the dark ness was using lighted lantern. The vapor of the gasolene spread to the light and there was an explosion, but the flame was extinguished by means of sand. The fire was evidently out but an investigation was started, headed by Mir Broadway with lan- tern. There was another explosion and the launch was soon enveloped in flames.
 A still alarm of fire was sent in to headquarters and the firemen extin- guished the blaze by flooding the launch which later sank. Two fire men, Timothy Young and C. B. Ray nor was burned about the face and hands by the gasolene.

CONFUSION NOT FUSION
Nebraska Democrats and PopuIktS Fail to AgIee on Candidates For State
 Ticket
HARMONY ISNOW THREATENED

|s Lincoln, Neb, Aug 16.-The thar mony for Bryan's sake," which was hoped for at the beginning of the democratic state convention yester- day, disappeared at o'clock this morning, when after an all night ses- sion the democrats of Nebraska ad- jOurned until o'clock for the pur- pose of holding conference with the populists regarding some of the offices upon which the two cOnven- tions might fuse. This action came after George w. Berge, the favorite of the pOpulists for governor, had been defeated by the democratic con vention and after Berge had de- clined the nomination rendered him by the populists. The democratic portion of the state ticket is as fol- lows:
 For governor, Ashton c. Shallen- barger.
 For lieutehant-governor, William H. Green.
 For secretary of state, Carl R. Boucher.
 For treasurer, Frank c. Babcock.
 For auditor, Edward H. Luikhart.
 Conference committees from the two conventions met at o'clock this morning, a proposition having been made to permit the populists to name the candidate for state commissioner and two candidates for railway com missioner, the democrats also to with draw their candidate for auditor, MT Luikhars, and give that place to the populists. These conferees were in session for several hours and when the time came for the democrats to reassemble this morning the con- ferees were far from a settlement.

Adams, Mass, Aug 16.-The four large mills of the Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Co, which have beaa closed for two weeks on account of the strike of the weavers, reopened their gates for resumption of work this morning in accordance with tn announcement made when the strik6 difficulty was adjusted on Monday last.

Brockton, Mass, Aug 16.-In the opinion of Dr. C. s.

Dr Millet has for years been convinced that the essential thing in the treatment of the disease is fresh air, reinforced by rest and nourishing food.

WAR 0f TERRORISM
 BEGUN IN EARNEST Fifty Assassinations Reported Early Last Night and More Are Occur
 ring Every Hour
REV0LUT|MEIS ARE ACTIVE
Anarchists Take Possession of the Freight Depot, Kill Three and
 Steal Thousands of Dollars.

St Petersburg, Aug 16.-The war of terrorism which the fighting or ganization of the social revolution ists declared immediately after par liament was dissolved, seems now to have begun in earnest. From all parts of the empire the telegraph brings the same story of attacks on police officials of all classes, accom- panied in the majority of cases by plumber. The Polish revolutionists are especially active. There is a veritable reign of terror from the Vistula to the German frontier. AL most fifty cases of assassination were reported early last night. The Novoe Vremya to-day heads it's list of murders and other crimes "St Bar tholomew's Night in Poland"
 The resumption of terroristic &C., tivity on large scale renders the task of the government more diffi- cult and darkens the prospects of the present ministry in accomplish ing anything in the direction of the amelioration of the situation. While for the moment the campaign of the terrorists is bound to increase the re- vulsion of the more conservative pub lie opinion against the wild excesses of the extremists, it is at the same time certain to force the government to redouble the measures or repres- sion which it is claimed will in the end drive public sympathy back to support almost any means of relief.
 Some of the dispatches from Poland assert that the outbreak of terrorism is in retaliation for the wholesale arrests and repressions of the governor-general.
 The government announces that the new parliament will not be de- prived of the right to revise the bud get for 1907 which will be submitted to parliament when 1t assemblies in March. Tn the meantime the credits for the first two months will be one sixth of the credits of the present year, under the authority of the fun damen<a{~3aw- assigning the credits for. the preeading year in case of the failure of the passage of the budget.
 Several liberal papers have been permitted to resume publication either under their old names or with new franchises.

The Off, cial Messengers says 1t Is the duty of the commission simply to present the results of Its investigation. upon which the indictments will be based.
 The denial is more technical than real as the conclusions of the com mission under the regulations neces- sitate indictments on the lines pub lished.

Boston. Aug 16.-The New York,
 New Haven & Hartford Railroad
 company, 1t was learned to-day, has
 disposed of all It's trolley companies in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut to several individuals
 who have. formed an association which is to be known as the New England Security & Investment Co. This action, 1t is believed. was taken
 as a result of Governor Guilds spec ial message to the last legislature, urging legislation which would pre- vent the transfer of Massachusetts transportation companies to aliens. The transaction involves the sale
 of over 75 per cent of the street rail-
 ways of Connecticut. including sys- tems in the cities of New London, New Haven, Norwich, Stamford,
 Hartford, Willimantic and other
 towns in Connecticut, together with lines running into New York state and Rhode Island and numerous lines in Massachusetts, including systems in the cities of Springfield and Worcester.
 The legislative committee on street railways and street railroads. to which was referred last June Cover nor Guilds message and a draft of a bill drawn up by Attorney General Malone providing for the control of Massachusetts street car systems. ad- vised that the legality of the New Haven roads holdings in Massachu- setts be tested by the state courts. President Mellen of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad company protested that the acquisi- tion of trolley companies in this state had at all times been in conformit. with the Massachusetts law. but he announced that no more purchases would be made until the legality of the purchases already made had been passed upon by the courts. The sale of the numerous street car systems at this time anticipates any court ac- ton which may have been contem- plated by the law department of the commonwealth. Attorney General Malone is away on a vacation and 1t vas said at his office to-day that dur ing his absence no comment would be made regarding the sale of th: railway systems.

New Haven, Aug 16.-According to the last report of the railroad com. missioners of Connecticut, the Con. solidated Railway Co, the holding company of the electric properties oi the New York, New Haven and Hart. ford railroad, had total of 209 miles of trackage. In addition, the steam road controls the Hartford Street Railway Co, under the original corporate name, of eighty miles, a number of lines in western Connecti. cut contiguous to New York state which were operated under a hold. ing company, and recently it bought the Torrington and Winchester rail- way.
 In addition to the surface lines the Consolidated railway owned several gas and electric plants which were taken over when local roads were purchased.
 The charter of the road was based upon that granted years ago to the Worcester and Connecticut Eastern railway, which operated in the ex- treme northeastern part of the state and which had charter rights oi remarkable scope. The charter ot |the Consolidated Railway Co was amended at the last session of the general assembly permitting 1t to merge the many local properties which had been purchased from time to time.
