A Crisis In New England.
BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 14.—At a meet
ing yesterday in this city of flfty-flve
representatives of textile unions in
New England it was unanimously vot
ed to recommend that all unions call
out the operatives in every cotton mill
in New England.
. The meetng was practically the out
come of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the Fed
erations of Labor last Sunday, in
which he urged the different unions to
unite on some settled policy regarding
the mill situation in England.
At that meeting a committee of four
was appointed to take charge of the
matter, and after a conference this
committee recommended that a gene
ral meeting to be held to take definite
action.
The representatives of the various
nationja.1 textile associations assem
bled in the Wells Memorial hall and
for four hours discussed the situation
from every standoint. The primary
object of the meeting was to devise
some method of rendering assistance
to the New Bedford strikers.
It wa3 pointed out that if the strik
ers at New Bedford could hold out
for four weeks without receiving more
than 20 cehts per operative per week
in the way of outside assistance other
mill operatives could stand a similar
strain, and that if all went out, it
would precipitate a crisis that would
have to be met within a short time by
the manufacturers.
It was also shown that the mule
spinners were in excellent condition
as regards funds; that the United Tex
tile Workers and the New England
Federation of Weavers were also in
god condition, but that the rest were
short of funds.
These questions were also discussed,
and at length the matter was put to
a vote, no one being registered against
the motion that the different unions
should order a general strike in every
cotton mill in New England until a
satisfactory adjustment - of wages
would be arranged.
It now remains for tire various na
tional unions to take action on'the re
commendation, but what this action
will be is a matter of conjecture. If
Ml should acquiesce and vote to strike,
147,000 operatives would undoubtedly
cease work and the manufacture of
cotton goods throughout New England
would be at a standstill.
If, on the other hand, only a few
unions should vote to strike the re
fusal of the others would still keep a
large portion of the mills in operation.
Inasmuch, hqwever, as the meeting
,, was the outcome of President Comp
ilers’ suggestion, and as he admonished
/*the members of the Federation of La
bor to join hands and assist the New
* Bedford strikers, it seems probable
that nearly every union will carry out
the recommendations, and that one of
the greatest strikes in this country is
impending.
Spain is Surprised.
MADRID, Feb. 14.—(New York Ca- I
ble gram.)—Sensation and surprise Is
caused in Madrid by New York tele
grams stating that the American gov
err/ment expected' more satisfaction
for the conduct of the' late Spanish
minister. According, to the late Span
ish official version,the cabinet consid
ers the prompt acceptance of the re
signation of do Lome quite sufficient
satisfaction for America, the letter to
Canalejas not being an official, but
purely a private act, royal decrees
simply accepting de Lome’s resigna
tion and appointing a successor being
gazetted shortly afeterward.
The Sanish minister of foreign af
fairs, in a note replying to the Wood
ford communication of February 10,
will place on record what was stated
In the interview with Woodford,
namely, how much the Spanish gov
ernment regretted the conduct of de
Lome, and its sincere desire that the
Incident should not alter the present
friendly relations and the course of
commercial negotiations to which the
Sagasta cabinet attaches much import
ance.
For the present it seems likely that
Duke Arcos, Spanish minister to Mex
ico, will be promoted'to Washington.
He married an American, speaks Eng
lish and could reach Washington
rapidly. His credentials could be
sent immediately on his arriving at
Washington. All rumors about send
ing Spanish ironclads and torpedo
boats to Cuban waters are premature..

THE NEW WORLD. ' ’
Interest la Aroused In the Canadian
Wes t.
The ex
hibit s ot
grains and
grasses,
roots and
vegeta
bles, the
product ot
the ter
tile lands of western Canada, which
were made at the several state and
county fairs in some of the Western
states this fall, have awakened consid
erable interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given free
to settlers. The agents of the govern
ment, who are to be found in these
states, are flooded with inquiries re
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during
the past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era of
prosperity, and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces of Mani
toba, Asslnabola and Alberta are spe
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country Is specially
adapted to stock raising, and it Is be
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains a week at a time,
the warm breezes from the ocean af
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability of these lands is
fully known there will be a rush spell
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates, Illustrated pamphlets, etc., will
be forwarded with pleasure by the De
partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Can
ada, if you are not in possession of the
name of an agent of the government.

LETTERS FROM TIIE RESTORED.
Many Wonderful Cares Recorded, Hop
ing that Others May Re Benefited.
The manufacturers of the remedy
called “5 drops," which is guaran
teed to cure rheumatism, neuralgia,
asthma, and kindred ailments, have re
ceived thousands of letters regarding
their medicine, many of which have
been published. The following is a
sample of these letters:
Oct. 10. 1897, 630 Main St.,
Springfield, Mass.
Dear Sirs—I can not express my
gratitude to God, also to you, for the
benefit I am receiving from "6 drops."
I walk around my room without a
crutch, which I have had to use a long
time. I firmly believe that with faith,
patience and perseverence, “5 drops”
will get the better of all diseases. My
doctor says it is indigestion has made
me bloat so, but his medicine does not
seem to reach my case. Respectfully
yours, Mrs. A. Spring.
The producers of “5 Drops,” who are
the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 1G7
169 Dearborn street, Chicago, have de
cided to continue for another 30 days
an offer which they made some weeks
ago, namely, to send a sample bottle
of "6 Drops,” prepaid, for 25 cents.
They state that this is done as they
know even a sample bottle will con
vince one of the value of their remedy.
Also, large bottle, 300 doses, for $1.00,
and for the next thirty days, three bot
tles for $2.50.

DIPHTHERIA IN WINNECONNE.
—
How It Wm Stamped Out, After tbe
Modern Treatment Had Failed.
Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were
reported at Winneconne, Wisconsin,
and the schools were closed.
Of the thirty-three cases twelve were
subjected to so-called modern treat
ment; four of the twelve thus treated
died, a death rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
Mr. J. Ulrich, a resident of Winne
conne, had observed the marvelous
success Muco-Solvent had met with and
In his enthusiastic way induced many
mothers to use it. His own family was
one of the first Infected, Muco-Solvent
being used to the exclusion of every
thing else with splendid results.
Compared with other treatments, Its
success was so very pronounced, that
Muco-Solvent was generally adopted,
with the result that by its use alone
the other twenty-two cases recovered,
not one proving fatal where Muco-Sol
vent was depended on.
We recommend its presence In every
home, for all throat troubles. In avert
ing developments of diphtheria, scarlet
fever and croup, it Is unequalled.
Upon receipt of the price, |1 per

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.
A dictionary containing the deflu't'ons
of 10,000 of the most useful and impor
tant words in tho English language, is
published by the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co.. Schenectady, N. Y. While it coutnins
some advertising, it is a complete diction
ary, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common words
whose spelling or exact use occasions at
times a momentary difficulty, even to well
educated people. The main aim has been
to give as much useful information ns pos
sible in a limited space. With this in view,
where noun, adjective and verb are all ob
viously connected in meaning, usually one
only has been inserted. The volume will
thus bo found to contain the meaning of
very many more words than it professes
to explain.
To those who already have a dictionary,
this book will commend itself becat a 3 it is
compact, light and convenient; to those
who have no dictionary whatever, it will
be invaluable. One may be secured by
writing to the above concern, mention
ng this paper, a nd enclosing a two-cent
