The Globe says that, from what can be picked apt mm uiu giinmj) nniuuu ute nutienouiw, it atmears that the labor section of the report of the committee ou mercantile affairs, on its trip South, to find out why the mills of Massachusetts wish to go South, is one upon which there is a wide difference of opinion among the various members. The report will say that, at present, there are no signs of a wholesale removal of Massachusetts mills South, as there are more spin dies in Massachusetts today than in the past. But the committee claims to have found that, in suite of the appar- eut prosperity in Massachusetts among the cotton mills a large amount of Mas- suchusetts money has boon sunt South; that there ia nothing: in the charters of the new corporations formed under Massachusetts laws that will prevent them from organizing in Massachusetts aud going South. Reference is also made to the fact thut there ia at pres. eut nothing to prevent the cotton cor porations of Massachusetts from put ting all the money they want in South ern mills. The report will prove that cotton manufacturing in the South is not a new industry, but thut, sinoe 1892, there have sprung up in that section conditions favorable to Massachusetts capitalists. In substantiation of this there will appear a long array of fig ures, which will give some surprising results. The report Will not speak hopefully of the scheme of establishing 1 mi"8 uuttr cotton fields or near coal mines, as cheapness will be equalized by expenses in another direction. The report will give the following seven distinct causes which are attracting the cotton industries of Now England to the South: Nearness to cotton fields; cheap tone- ments; cheap coal; mild climate; low Regular officers aud men are to be as taxes; abundant water power, and ab- signed among these troops to drill and sence of restrictive labor laws. lead them in battle.

SON AGAINST FATHER. Nature of the Charge. Mada by Rudolph Sprsoklea. San Francisoo, April 8. Rudolph Sprockets, the youngest son of Clans Spreckles, has sprung the latest sensa tion in the family altercation. In the course of the trial of his injunction suit against the Nevada bank, Rudolph Spreckles attorney handed in an affi davit full of ugly charges against his father. Rudolph has signed the docu ment and duly acknowledged it before an attorney. Its purport is to charge Claus Spreckles with endeavoring to in- jure the credit of his two younger sons to prevent them from paying the in- debtedness of C. A. Spreckles to his father. In the event of the obligation not being met, certain securities in the Nevada bank, turned over to guaran- toe payment, would become the prop- erty of Claus Spreckles. - Rudolph in his affidavit denies the charges made by the bunk thut he aided or abetted the Hawaiian revolution. He also charged that the Nevada bank is not a bona fide purchaser of the stock, but is try- ing to assist Claus Spreckles in the performance of a threat publicly made that he would yet ruin and destroy Ru- dolph and break with him. I he am-1 davit also alleges that Claus Spreckles is trying hard to injure the credit of Rudolph aud prevent the payment of the debt of C. A. Spreckles when it falls due. The case will go on tomor row. THE CHINESE SMUGGLERS. Reeotde at San Franel.eo Co. loin Uoua. Have Bean FaUlfled. San Francisoo, April 6. Customs Collector Wise has discovered the work of some traitor in hiB camp. He learn ed today that some one in the custom house has been falsifying records there in order to facilitate the smuggling of Chinese. -A few weeks ago a Chinaman arrived here, presented his registration papers, which appeared to be all right, aud was admitted without much ques tioning. The other day another Chi- nese appeared and sought admission on a certificto bearing the same name. In vestigation proved that the second Chinaman was the one entitled to land, and that the first one hud been smug gled in. The Chinese first lauded was apprehended, and is now under arrest. A close inspection of the custom-house records shows that the photograph of the original Chinese had been taken from the book, and that of the Chinese who fraudulently landed entered substi tuted. The certificate was completely changed. No arrests have been made. Appeal to California for Seed. San Francisco, April 6. The drought-stricken districts of Nebraska have sent in an appeal to California for seed principally barley and oats. This appeal comes to the state board of trade, and yesterday Secretary Fletcher held a consultation with William H. Mills as to what would be the best course to pursue. It was determined tonaake an appeal to the farmers of this state to aid their suffering brethren in Nebraska, and a circular will be pre- pared and sent out to all the papers in the interior, asking the co-operation of everyone interested. The plan proposed is to have every farmer give what he feels he can spare, no matter if it be one sack or a carload. Arrangements will be made to receive and store this grain at some point in this city until all that can be secured is in hand, when it will be forwarded to its destination, England Preparing for an Emergency. New York, April 4. The Herald's Panama special says: f "The British cruiser Royal Arthur with Admiral Stephenson, arrived this morning from Callao.

J I PREPARING FOR FIGHT Spaniards Organizing Troops l v . n . D" I'Ommanas, BEING SENT TO THE EASTWARD Moblllilug In Santiago da Cuba Pro paratorjr to a Grand Uuut tut the In. urgent.. Havuuu, April 0. At daybreak this I morning a battalion of Spanish troops niarctiud out from the fortress of Cu buna, which lies westward on the hills above Moro castle. They were led to tne railway from which trains travel aoutn across the island to Battabanno. It is from that port that the government troops are being forwarded to the east ern districts of Cuba, and when the battalion en route today shall have reached Santiago de Cuba all the troops newly arrived from Spain will have been mobilized at that point When all are there there will be a grand re view, aud then the hunt for the insur gents will begin. Meauwhile the or ganization of the troops by commands is being effected. There will be two grand divisions, and two brigades in each division. The forces will number something like 4,000 mun. At tho palace of the governor-general the writer was informed that when all the troops thut are now expected to come from Spain shall have arrived there will be available against the re bullion about 32,000 men. This nuui her covers troops already arrived here, the standing army of Cuba aud all vol- nnteers aud guerrillas. The last named are not the guerrillas familiar in the states, but are separate companies en- listed for a definite time and purpose. oeive for this service $30 per month and the men receive $25. While awaiting the arrival of the troops leaving here today the forces now in tho disturbed districts began searoh- nig in the chapparal for insurgents. An interesting bit of news comes from Santiago de Cuba. A correspond ent, writing under date of March 25, states thut he has been looking into the Alliauca affair, and he makes the state ment that the Alliunca was hailed, and displayed the American flag, and not that of England, as reported by the commander of the Conde de Venadito. Saturday last the government here freely announced that the rebel chief, Maceo, had sailed from Costa Rica on the Atlas line steamer D;eronback, and that he had not arrived on the soil of Cuba. The same evening there was in formation in Havana that Maoeo had effected a landing and is now on Cuban soil among his followers. The land line of telegraph westward of the island are in wretched condition. The government frankly stated that there ia serious interruption. There is communication along the coast by cable, but land lines, which have never been much needed in peaoo, are now vital, and are to be fixed up. The lines are gaid to be strung on trees wherever pos sible and the necks of beer aud other bottles have been used as insulators. There are those who believe the Spanish government haa paid sums that were supposed to properly maintain these lines. The autonomistio party here favors such a relation of Cuba to Spain as U sustained by England toward her colonies. Independence is not desired. A meeting of the party was held yestor day to deplore the rebellion and offer aid to Spain. The same action has been taken by the autonomists of Puerto Rico. The resolutions embody ing these views have been forwarded to Rufuel Maria de Labra, the Cuban leader of the party in Spain. A FLOATING THEATER. Th. Float Which Will Carry It Bean Launched at Boaton, Haa Boston, April 6. There was a novel kind of a ship launch at East Boston this afternoon the launching of the flouting Palace Amusements Company. This is the very latest thing in the aters, and Manager Laskey, who has the affair in charge, is confident that it will be a success. It ia certainly unique, as the only things which ap proach it are the Loudon Music halls, which are moved aloug the docks, or the old flatboat theaters of the Mississippi river. The theater will be anchored off the Marine pier, South Boston, for part of the summer season and will also go to bar harbor, Coney Island and other summer resorts. In the winter It may go south. This can easily be done, for the float is broad and flat, and will tow easily. It is built a good deal like a lighter.except that it has a rounded bow, and ia very strongly put together. The stage will be at the stern and will be 40x80 feet The main floor of the the ater runs forward to round of the bow, and haa an incline of ten feet in its whole length. It is arranged so that the seats can be taken away and the floor raised to a level, giving an weal dance nail. There will also be a gallery, which will be a little above the deck. The house will rise thirty ieet above the deck, giv ing a total height oi lorty leet lor the theater. Under the slope of the floor at the bow are the dressing rooms for the actors. They are fitted with bath- rooms and every other accommodation. Dollar a Poand. San Diego, CaL, April 8. A corre- spondent at the Rice mining camp at Warner thinks that the Rice brothers have the richest mine in this county, Their claims are the Bertha and Daisy, and it is estimated that the ten tons of fine ore out will pay $1 a pound. The ur,,thers brought down twenty-five pounds of it, and in one day beat out - 0 worth of gold. A Haa Diego cap! talist was up to look at the mines and bargained for them, but be haa not yet returned. The other mines in the camp have not amounted to much so far. Tho Swathera PaelSe Elect lea.

GENEROUS OFFER. ltd ward Croealar'a ReSeetfoa T.I.eeop Offered to Lick Obaarvatorjr San Jose, CaL, April 6. The di rector of the Lick observatory today received a telegram announcing that the Hon. Edward Crowley, lately a moniber of parliament for Halifax, Eng land, proposes to present to the Lick observatory his great three-foot reflect ing telescope with ita dome and all ap paratus complete. Mr. Croesley, him self an enthusiastic amateur astrono mer, will attach no conditions to his gift, except that hia telescope, when set np at Mount Hamilton, shall be called the Crossley reflector, and that the expenses of transporting the instru ment and dome from England to Cali fornia shall be borne by Americana. The splendid instrument which Mr. Crossley offers is well known to astron omers. It . was made , by Mr, A.. A. Conanon, of London, and for the mag nifleent photographs with it Mr. Com mon received the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society. It was then purchased by Mr. Crossley and set up in his private observatory at Hali fax, England, along with other instru ments. An experience in astronomy has shown Mr. Crossley that the climate of England is not good enough to do justice with this great telescope, and he therefore determined to present it to an observatory which was favora bly situated, where it could be used to the fullest advantage. It is a compli ment to tne Lick observatory that Mr. Crossley has selected it to receive his gift, aud it is a praotioal recognition of the fact that California ia the ideal climate for making astronomical ob servations, as has been fully shown by the experience of the past years. The addition of this great reflector to the equipment of the Lick observa tory, whioh already possesses the great three-foot refractor, makes the instru mental outfit of Mount Hamilton de cidedly superior to that of any observ atory now existing. The refractor is eminently suitable for certain kinds of work, and there are other kinds in which the reflector possesses distinct advantages. As the Lick observatory will soon have a great telescope of each kind established in a most favorable situation, it will be admirably fitted in the future for every kind of astronomi cal work. It may be mentioned that the origi nal plan of the Lick observatory con templated the installation of a great reflector as well as a great refractor. It was found that the funds left by Mr. Lick were not adequate to provide both these instruments, and the plan for making the reflector was reluctantly abandoned. The splendid gift of . Mr. Crossley comes to complete the equip ment of the observatory in a most satis factory manner. ...... . . . ; The cost of dismounting the reflec tor and dome In England, of transport ing them to California (only the more Important parts of the framework of the dome will be required here), and of erecting the complete apparatus at Mount Hamilton, will be about $5,000. This sum mnst be raised by subscription in America before Mr. Crossley's gen erous offer can be definitely accepted. THE WOMAN'S TEMPLE. tienaroua Offer of Marahall Field to Pay It. Debt. Chicago, April 7. A generous offer of Marshall Field to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ia an nounced. Mr. Fiuld promises $25,000, with the proviso that $275,000 more be raised by January 1, 1896. It is in tended tbat this total sum be applied on the debt overhanging the Woman's Temple. Tho building of the Woman a Tern pie is the greatest financial enterprise in whiuh a coterie of women have en gaged. It was erected from money se cured by the Bale of stocks and bonds. The association was capitalized for $000,000 and bonded for an equal amount. The building cost $1,265, 000, leaving a floating debt of $050,000. The trustees of the temple who dis perse the gift fund have purchased over $300,000 of the stock, which gives them the controlling interest in the building. When the entire stock is owned by them and the bonded debt liquidated the property will be dedi cated to the National Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union. ' One-half of the Income will go to the national so- piety and one-half to the states, in pro portion to the amount each state has paid toward the building fund. The time haa come when the union wants to make the Woman's temple its own in fact - Lady Henry Somerset wrote to Mr. Fiuld, saying that any financial failure in Chicago would be disastrous to tem perauce work all over the world. In a few days Mr. Field responded with his offer, and plans are already perfected to secure the desired amount Mr. C. H. McCormack subscribed $10,000 and several smaller sums have been added, THEY DIED TOGETHER. Suleldl of a Young Couple Frauclaeo Hotel. In a San San Francisco, April 8. Because they could not gain their mother's con sent to their marriage, Miss Adele Wolf, the handsome daughter of Mrs. Sophia Wolf, of 1305 Leavenworth street, and Carlo Enrico Reta, a young officer of the Mexican army, died to gether at the Palace hotel today. The people of the hotel knew little about the suicides. After midnight Thursday the young people arrived there and registered as C. E Reta and wife, and were assigned a room on the first floor of the Market street front This afternoon at 4 o'clock the servant whose duty it is to make up the room, re ported that she could not open the door, I as it was secured on the inside, and that she bad knocked and could get no response. The chief clerk and Special Officer Glennon went to the rooms. They also knocked and could get no re sponse, and then forced an entrance. The young couple lay in the bed, and there was no sign of disturbance in the room. In the fold of the coverlet, how ever, lay a small pistol, and that told the story. Both were dead, shot through the heart. On the table Glennon found a scrap of paper. In an unsteady, an gular hand (thought to be the woman's) was written this message: "Don't separate us. Ws wish to be buried together." WILL NEVER SUBMIT Venezuela Will, if Necessary, Resort to Force. MOST ANYTHING BUT DISHONOR Th. People Beady to See Their Home. ad Their Cities Ueaolatad and Laid la Ashe. Washington, April 7. It is stated by persons in a position to speak with authority that as soon as Venezuela is convinced that Great Britain has final ly decided not to arbitrate or settle the boundary dispute, as suggested by the United States through Ambassador Bay ard, the Southern republic will regret fully but resolutely resort to what she regards aa her only course a resort to force. It is declared that her people are ready to see their homes and their cities desolated and laid in ashes rather than submit to what they regard national dishonor.. It is said that the contention with Great Britain is not so much one of territory as one of sent! munt So firmly impressed have the people become with this that the opin ion is expressed that they wonld rather see the country go out of existence than pass into practical control of foreign hands. A strong feeling exists in the Venezuelan government that the United States will not stand idly by if a resort to force is made. It is understood that the position of Great Britain in declining the sugges. tion of the United Status for the set tlement of the trouble is substantially as follows: - First Great Britain takes the posi tion that the question of arbitration was once before proposed by Venezuela. At that time the foreign office gave the subject careful attention and sub mitted a reply embodying a proposition to arbitrate certain definite subjects of controversy. To this proposition Vene zuela has never made a reply, either ac cepting or rejecting the proposed basis of arbitration. Under the circum stances it is not desirable to proceed to a second proposal of arbitration while the first remains unanswered. Second In any event, there are oer- tain portions of that territory to whiuh Venezuela lays claims, which under no circumstances will be made the subject of arbitration, as they are recognized portions of the British domain, and are not therefore subjects on which the aid of arbitration could be invoked. Third The subject matter ia one be tween Great Britain and Venezuela, so that the good offices of the United States are not regarded as essential to a settlement, for it is not understood that the United States has assumed a pro tectorate over Venezuela or her interest more than that of a friendly govern eut THE OUTLOOK GOOD. Promln.ot Bu.ln.aa Hen Say Time, Will Further Improve. ; Baltimore, April 6. The Manufac turers' Record is in receipt of, and will publish in this week's number, letters from representative business men in all parts of the country on the pros pects of a general business improve ment Among the number quoted are C. P. Huntington, John H. Inman and Abraham S. Hewitt, of NewYork; M, Ingalls, of Cincinnatti; Hon. Edward Atkinson, of Boston; and Thomas Booth, of St Louis.

The iron and steel manufuctur ers and merchants report a decided in oroase in the demand for their products. Traffic has Increased on railroad lines, and the bankors state that investors are showing more confidence in different sections especially the South. Thomas Booth, president of the mer chants' exchange of St Louis, which represents the business sentiment of the Mississippi valley stated that "The improvement whiuh started the first month of the year has been empha sized." President Ingalls, of the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, declares that "inland commerce will improve from now on. JAPAN'S ACTIVITY UNABATED. H.r Troop, Reported to Be Marching Upon Takow.

The United States steamship Patterson is now being fitted out here for a trip to Alaska with a party of surveyors, who will work on the boundary lines during the summer. The harbors about Sitka will also be sounded, and a map made of their find ings. The party will be engaged up north for three years. A big supply of coal will be taken on at Puget sound, and a steam launch will be towed along in order to work in shallow inlets suc cessfully. The first surveying will be done in Portland Inlet Thia is where the boundary line begins, and much dis pute has arisen of late over this point between the United States and British America. Both countries' limits seem to overlap each other, and it will be the duty of Captain Morse to solve this problem for the government This txtra- prdlnaiy Utr lUTMatOT Is the most wonderful dlaoovery of ths age. i ou been .n domed by the leading lelaa Una men of lunrpe and America.
