I -ion, Jan. 30.—The sum total of the
features In to-day's programme of
r ' ' |, x tiie troubles was the shutting down
(1 . , e Cabot mill at Brunswick, Me., be
' of desertion of help in sympathy
V the striking weavers, and the an
, , etnent that a small manufacturing
~l nv at Woonsocket, R. 1., would shut
d„.\ n for a few days for lack of orders.
T • other side of the trouble brought up
to-,! > was legislation in the Massachu
legislature. It will be remembered
, >t tiic Arkwright Company, in recorn
n„n l nit a cut down in wages, laid stress
on ~, competition of Southern mills,
there is a long working day. The
c.cnpany furthermore urges the repeal of
(lle restrictive measures in force in Maa
s.i in. etts. With the first inkling of an
auuri’t to carry out this recommendation,
labor representatives introduced bills in
, ~ House for new legislation for a fifty
live hour week, no overtime for women and
children, and to investigate the present
situation.
no the fourth day of the strike pop
u;ar interest Is directed to Beacon Hill
molv than to New Bedford. Along the
lin , of battle from New Bedford, Mass.,
l( , i,,wis ton, Me., there is absolute quiet.
In Foil River the discontent is growing
and the mill officials know it and are ap
prehensive.
Forecasting the future evidences of the
stubbornness of the operatives In defend
ing their itosilions is shown in Biddeford,
M, . where arrangements for serving
strike rations are being made. Citizens,
ev. ii to Chinese laundrymen, are contrib
uting money and societies of all kinds are
joining in the aid.
Brunswick, Me., Jan. 20.—The Cabot mill
was suddenly closed to-day because the
operatives left their work so rapidly that
it was only a question of on hour or two
and the machinery would have no one to
alien.l to it. It is thought that the mill
will l>e open to operatives who wish to
return to work.
Biddeford, Me., Jan. 30.—An effort will
be made by the officials of the Pepperill
and Laconia doth mills to start Monday
under the 10 per cent, cut down. The
union men are most positive that not
enough men will go back to start the mills.
Woonsocket, R. I„ Jan. 20.—The Alice
mills of the United States Rubber Compa
ny, which employ about 1,200 hands, were

MAIUY'I. ANDfS SENATOR SHIP.
Chances of Mayor Malster and Maj.
Shaw Improving.
Annapolis, Md.. Jan. 20.—The General
Assembly of Maryland, in joint session to
day.'took three ballots for a United States
senator without result. The effect of the
day's work is to leave the solution of the
senatorial problem in as much doubt end
the end of the struggle apparently as far
off as before the balloting began. While
it is true that several of the leading can
didates made gains to-day, it is equally
true that both are far from the goal, and
that both have shown nearly, if not quite
the full extent of their present following.
But one thing ts clear, and that is the fact
that perfect sympathy exists between the
Democrats and bolting Republicans in the
joint balloting. This was clearly shown,
when, alter the second ballot, an attempt
was made to adjourn the convenfioh until
to-morrow. The Democrats and bolters
voted solidly against the motion and de
feated it. The fact is that the “eleven”
are seemingly stronger than ever and are
fully under the control of their leader.
There is now no doubt that the Demo
cratic contingent stands ready to cast Its
ballot for a Republican, but for whom
is as yet unsettled, but the be
lief that it will be William Malster,
Mayor of Baltimore, or Maj. Shaw, is
growing, and the Democrats no longer try
to conceal the fact that they would wel
come such an outcome.
The Democrats have two points to gain
by protracting the struggle, the longer this
fight is on, the longer it the Re
publican party, and they have not aban
doned hope of protracting’it through the
session, thereby making it possible that
Mr. Gorman's successor will have to be
chosen by the legislature which will meet
in January, ICO). There are rumors to
night that the Democrats have agreed to
vote for Mais.er, provided he will guaran
tee the necessary Republican vote to elect.
OHIO RIVER ON A BOOM.
The AVater Already in Many Houses
at Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 20.—The Ohio river
is expected to reach the danger point at
this place by 5 o’clock in the morning. The
stage at 10 p. m., was 22 feet and K) inches,
a rise of nine inches since 6 p. m. If the
waters continue to rise at the present
rate, a stage of thirty feet will have been
reached. This will put it six feet above
the danger line and will submerge many
houses in the shipping portion of the city,
from Third down to Center street, the
island, part of the point and all of the
bank for thirty miles and over.
The factory above the cut-off has three
feet of water in its floor.
All tributaries in this section ;yo report
ed bankful and overflowing from the re
cent heavy rains.
The weather cleared this morning, and
if no more showers fall the duration of
the present flood will be short.
T. S. Cross, a salesman of North Ver
non, Ind., was drowned last night on
French Lick while trying to ford a swol
len stream.
A farmer named Drury, and his farm
hand, Fosdyok, were drowned while try
ing to ford the Cumberland river in Jack
son county, Tennessee. The bodies were
recovered three miles below.
Cincinnati, 0., Jan. 20.—Two and a thir
ty-four hundredths inches is the measure
ment of the rainfall that begun falling
here last evening and ended this evening.
The stage of the river is 48 feet 3 inches
and rising. It reached the maximum to
night, 48 feet 5 inches. Since then it has
fallen one inch.
CURRENCY BILL TALK CLOSED.
The Committee to Meet Wednesday
to Decide on a Measure.
Washington, Jan. 29.—The disqussion on
the currency bill was brought to a close
to-day and the committee will meet next
■Wednesday to decide which of the four
bills before them is to form the basis of a
currency bill that is to be reported by
them. These are known as the monetary
commission, Gage, Walker, and Fowler
biiis.
The committee devoted the afternoon to
a discussion in detail of the provisions of
the Walker bill. Secretary Gage appear
ed again for examination, but the Secre
tary turned questioner and put Chairman
Walker through a long series of interro
gatories. Secretary Gage thought the bill
lacked explicitness, and suggested that
the banks do not want to assume an am
biguous policy.
Mr. Walker asserted the responsibility
was absolute, and proceeded to explain
why. There was a long discussion on this
feature, during which the secretary puz
zled him considerably. Mr. Walker, in
the course of the discussion, suggested
that the bill made, allowance for the sup
position that we may have a disaster,
panic or something of the sort, and that
panics and such events were guarded
against.
COAL MINERS’ CONFERENCE.
No Progress Made at Y esterday’s Ses
sion at Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 20.—N0 progress was made
in to-day’s session of the interstate bitum
onous coal operators’ and miners’ confer
ence.
No report was received from the scale
committee, which asked for more dime.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania operators
did not reach an agreement on the .0-cent
differential, which is a stumbling block.
It is said that the Pennsylvania operators
insisted upon an entire removal of the dif
ferential, except as it is applied to Hock
ing valley, which they concede Is entitled
to the lowest rate.
H. L. Chapman of Ohio, it Is alleged,
opposed the wiping out proposition and
linally dropped out of the struggle. It is
the general opinion that a report will be
presented to the conference to-morrow.

question, and if any senator on the other
side of the chamber desired to speak on
the question he would yield to him.
There was no response to the invitation
by the Republican side, and Mr. Vest was
proceeding with his remarks, when Mr.
Platt. Rep., of Connecticut, asked if it
was Mr. Vest's intention to press the res
olution to secure an immediate vote.
The speaker interrupted Mr. Aldrich,
who asked: “Is it the purpose of the
senator to secure a vote on the resolution
to-day?”
”1 expect,” replied Mr. Vest, “to en
deavor to secure a final vote on the reso
lution when, under the rules of the Sen
ate, a final vote can be reached.”
The Missouri senator was proceeding
with his remarks when the Vice President,
the hour of 2 o’clock having arrived, laid
before the Senate tile unfinished business,
the census bill.
Mr. Vest moved to lay aside the unfin
ished business and asked to proceed with
the discussion of the Teller resolution. The
motion prevailed without division, the ef
fect being to make the resolution the un
finished business.
Mr. Vest then yielded to a suggestion of
Mr. Aldrich that further consideration of
the bill be postponed until to-morrow. In
order that those opposing might have op
portunity to prepare for the debate.
At 2:10 o’clock the Senate went into ex
ecutive session, and at 2:55 o’clock ad
journed.
ROBBER PIT TO FLIGHT.'
Ordered to Throw I'p Ills Hands—A
Hank Cashier Presents n Pistol.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 20.—A bold attempt
was made to hold up the Citizens Bank on
the east side about 3:3) o'clock this after
noon. Owing to the courage and thought
fulness of the cashier, E. M. Lambert, the
robber was put to flight without securing
a cent.
The bank had just closed for the day,
and Mr. Lambert, with his assistants, was
preparing to put the money in a vault when
a masked man entered the front door,
which is probably ten feet from the coun
ter. In his right hand he held a revolver,
while with his left he was apparently hold
ing his mark dlose to his face.
Pointing to a stack of bids on the coun
ter behind the screen, the robber demand
ed that Cashier Lambert hand them out.
Lambert started to pick up the money,
but at the same time secured a revolver
from the drawer. As soon as the robber
saw he was confronted with a revolver
he turned and fled, but before he reached
the street Cashier Lambert fired a shot at
him which passed through his clothing.
Dozens of people were on the street and
a large crowd was attracted by the shoot
ing, but the fleeing robber soon secured
his horse, which was tied only a block
away, and, mounting it, was soon out of
sight. No trace of him had been secured
up to a late hour.
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
Democrat* Elect Senator AVlilte of
California Chairman.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The new Demo
| cratic congressional committee to-night
elected as chairman Senator White of
California. Senator White was supported
by the friends of Representative Bailey,
who are favorable to that gentleman’s
candidacy for speaker in the next House,
it that body has a Democratic majority.
The meeting was quite fully attended,
thirty-three members being present. As
was expected, a dark horse developed In
Senator Cockrell of Missouri, who was
defeated by Senator White by the narrow
margin of 18 to 15.
The meeting offered a resolution reaf-*
firming its adherence to the Chicago plat
form.
The election of Senator White is regard
ed as a distinct triumph by the silver men,
who are anxious to have a chairman
whose record on the subject of 16 to 1
was unquestionable.
CHESTNUT STREET HANK.
Nearly All tlio IJeposltors Assent to
the Proposed Plan.
Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—With the expira
tion of the period set by the Controller of
the Currency for the assent of the depos
itors to the plan of voluntary liquidation
proposed for the Chestnut Street Bank,
it was stated to-night that all depositors
had been favorably heard from, except
a few representing about 325,000. While
this prevents the plan from becoming at
once operative, it is hoped that it will soon
be effected, and the statement from Con
troller Dawes encourages the managers
who are anxtous to avo and the appointment
of a receiver.
Apart from the few holding out deposit
ors, the state has not yet assented to the
plan, and this may prove a stumbling
block to Its success.

FIGHTERS IN FINE TRIM.
Corcoran and Williams Will Settle
Their Differences To-night.
To-night' will settle the disputed ques
tion amongst sporting men whether Tom
my Corcoran can stop Jack Williams in
the limited ten-round go.
Williams is in the pink of condition, and
as Corcoran has been training for the last
week or so, It is supposed he is in first
class shape. He does not underate Wil
liams, but seems to think his superiority
in weight will win the battle, for him. No
doubt It will be one of the best and fastesgS
exhibitions of boxing ever seen in Savatk
nah. w
Corcoran put Billy Duke of Baltlmor™
out in two rounds, and gave Larry Mc-
Donald, who recently defeated Camp
bell in Dayton, an awful drubbing, and
Corcoran is considered second to none in
the country at his weight. Williams has
defeated such men as Stnnton Abbol,
champion light-weight of England, knock
ing him out In the seventh round. He 010
defeated Jack Downey of Brooklyn and
Joe Gnus of Baltimore. The contest takes
place at the rooms of the old Pastime
Athletic Club.

TIME TO BEt’OME A CHRISTIAN.
Evangelist Gales* Exhortation at the
First Presbyterian Church.
Pilate’s query. “What will you do with
Jesus, who is called the Christ." wa the
subject selected by Evangelist Weston R.
Gales at the First Presbyterian Church last
night. The attendance was larger than at
any time since the meetings have been in
progress, and the fact Is taken as an evi
dence of the Increased Interest which is
now manifesting itself.
One of the features of the meetings is
the excellent choir, seated on an elevated
stage In front, and which ts rendering ;ht
feet music. In arranging for Mr. Gales
those in charge seem not to have been
mindless of the fact that the success of
such meetings depends largely on the
music and in the members who have been
chosen to sing In the choir, there have cer
tainly been no mistakes made. Another
thing which is noticeable, and which is
though* to draw many, is the absence of
any attempt on the part of Mr. Gales to
create sensations by attacking public offi
cials or individuals. It is his policy in
preaching to put the truths strongly and
plainly, apprise men of their condition
without creating any public stir by cast
ing bombs in the camps of public officials.
Mr. Gales is a smooth, clear reusener, who
clothes his ideas in plain language, thor
oughly comprehensible to all.
"You must take Christ into your confi
dence and trust Him in all things,” said
he, in the course of last night's sermon.
"There are few men who do not trust
people every das’, by giving credit to them
in a mercantile way, loan.ng money, or
otherwise showing a willingness to trust
thorn. And in a great many cases this
confidence ts found to be misplaced, and
they are the losers. Has any one ever
trusted God and found that He has proven
traitor? There are none, and this fact
alone should be enough to convince all of
the safety in turning over their spiritual
welfare to God’s keeping.”
Mr. Gales referred at some length to
Infidelity and to the kind of men who were
engaged in assailing the gospel. The
power of the Holy Bible Is such that it
cannot be overturned, he said, and the ef
forts of men endeavoring to argue its
falsity are similar to efforts to turn a
mountain with a toothpick.
There is danger In delay, he said, and his
hearers were impressed with tire Import
ance of embracing the Christian faith
without delay. There was a time when
the spirit of God would not move people,
and all were advised to guard against this.
An apt illustration was given of one who
was visiting and on approaching the door,
knocked several times, but those within
would not answer and open the door. The
result was the utmost indignation on the
part of the one who sought admittance,
and a declaration never to visit that house
again. Mr. Gales said God Is knocking
at the hearts of many sinners, and they
are treating Him in the same manner by

CATARRH OF THE STOM
ACH.
A Pleasant Simple, Hut Safe Effectu
al Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual syrqptoms are a full or bloat
ing aensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery-rlstngs, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on tha
heart and lungs and difficult breathing;
headache, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste In the mouth,
coated tongue, and If the Interior of tho
stomach could be seen It would show a
slimy. Inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble Is found in a treatment which
causes tho food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has a time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do, and when
normal digestion Is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harianson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep.
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dysfiepsla Tablets, and, not being a pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy appe
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booherof 2,710 Dearborn street,
Chicago, 111., writes: “Catarrh ts a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
In the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into (he throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach with
out cure, but to-day I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro
priate words to express my good feeling.
1 have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from, their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
pre'Kiratlon os well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, nour stomach, heartburn and bloating
after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on stom
ach troubles, by addressing Stuart Com
pany. Marshall, Mich. The tablets can bo
found at a drug store.
