Gould of New York has offered to share
her portion of her husbands wealth
with her sister, Mrs. Wong Sun Yue
Clemens Of San Francisco to give her
protection and home.
From the bedside Of her III and pen
niless husband, Wong Sun Yue, she
has sent an answering message-"No." T"

ence has been broken by an acquaint-
ance Of Mrs. Wong Sun Yue, who wrote

to Europe and spend the remainder
of their lives in travel abroad under

loves her husband and would rather
starve with him than desert him.

Cotton Operatives to Get More.

Salem, Mass.-Notices have been
posted in the Naumkeag cotton mills
that the wages of the 1900 operatives
beginning March 80, would be reduc-
ed 10 percent, but that the plant
would be run in full commission. The
aggregate weekly wages of the oper-
atives under the existing schedule is
$4,000 per week. During the past
few weeks the mills-have been run on
the basis of FIVE days each week, thus
curtailing the wages of the operatives
$780,
Last year the corporation increased
the wages of the operatives 10 percent,
so that the announced reduction sim
ply restores the compensation for SER
vice one year ago. With the mills
in full commission the operatives will
earn more money at 10 percent reduc-
tion in wages than has been the case
OF late with only Ave days work.

Italian Court circles Interested.


Rome-The Italian public eagerly
awaits news from America regarding
the reported engagement of the duke
of the AbruzZi and Miss Katherine
Elkins. Nothing has been given out in
court circles concerning the engage
ment, even cabinet ministers declar-
ing that they knew absolutely nothing
about it.
The point that particularly interests
the people is, admitting the truth Of
the reported engagement, whether the
marriage will be considered morgan.
attic one. 1t is recalled that the duke
of the Abruzzi's mother was not of
royal blood, but her marriage was not
considered morganatic and she en-
joyed all the privileges of her hus-
bands rank and even became the
queen of Spain.
1t was during this period of her life
that the duke was born at Madrid. The
opinion prevails among persons of the
court circle that II the marriage takes
place it will not be viewed as NOR
ganatic alliance. They do not admit
even the possibility that the American
girl would accept any inferior posi-
tion or that the dukes pride would
consent to it.
Although the duke of the Abruzzi is
considerably removed from the throne.
it is believed likely that in case of his
marriage to Miss Elkins that he will
be obliged to renounce the right of sue
cession for his branch Of the family.
The last morganatic marriage in the
house of Savoy was that of Victor
Emanuel H., with Rosena Vercellana,
to whom he gave the title of countess
of Mirafori

The perishable goods are being
thrown overheard and efforts are be-
ing made to recover the valuable por-
tion. Fishermen are picking up the
part of the cargo which is jettisoned.
The recent southwest gale bore
heavily upon the steamer, and the YES
sci had settled nearly to the upper
deck, which seemed to indicate that
the greater portion of the bottom had
been torn away and that the chances
of saving her had been reduced to a
minimum
The wrecking outfit from New York,
reinforced by another tug and lighter,
was alongside very early, and as the
sea had gone down to some extent the
wbrk of getting out snch portions Of
the cargo as could be reached was re-
sumed.
