Hard Times to Go Before an Islands Crop. Bushel of Them from Prince Edward Costs Only 25 Cents in Halifax. Some are Coming to Boston, but the Duty Will Put Up the Price. Halifax, Nov 13 The cron of potatoes in the province of Prince Edward island this year is enormous. Not only is the yield wonderful but the potatoesare of splendid quality.

The result has been that this market has been flooded with them. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 bushels now in port. As a large number of additional cargoes are expected this week it was decided to send three cargoes of the present surplus to Boston, and three vessels are being loaded and will proceed to the hub at once. It is probable further cargoes will be shipped there Potatoes are retailing from vessels here at 25 cents per bushel. WOULDNT UVEJN CHICAGO.

Count Serge Wolkousky Tells of His Impressions of America as Gotten Mostly in the Windy City. For the second time this year Count Serge Wolkousky of St Petersburg spoke to a Harvard audience last evening in Sanders theater. Prince Wolkousky spoke upon his impressions of America, and he stated in opening that he should describe them as they really were without flattery or compliment. He spoke in part as follows: My knowledge of America is limited, chiefly to Chicago, Washington and the west. I have been especially displeased at foreigners who admire Chicago and the fair in terms of fulsome flattery.

These compliments are so worn that they have lost all meaning. In this country a man is reckoned according to his worth in dollars more than in any other country. Do find another word to express the worth of man do not forever compare him with Astor. Vanderbilt or Pullman. Life America has become a slavery.

Amidst this constant rush I feel like saying, O. I.ord, give me one day of rest before I die. There are divisions everywhere in the world, but they are nowhere so marked as in America. The fact of belonging to a church establishes a mans moral value. It keeps men apart therefore instead of bringing them together.

It would be well to remember that be yond Chicago there is a world created by God. As to officials I have found them ail charming. I found that personal consideration entered very little into their work, but that they worked for the Interests of their office alone. In Chicago you are asked how you like the citv. I must sav I do not like it.

I would not live there for anything, but I admire it for its feeling of citizenship and union. When you want to learn what a nation really is, leave politics alone and never teach that any form of government is evil iu itself, FIRST ANNUAL RECEPTION.

-At Music hall last night Robarts Harper gave the fourth entertainment in the Star course. It was an illustrated lecture on Monte Carlo. His pictures, over 100 in number, were unusually beautiful in their detail of singular perfection. The lecture began with a choicely worded description of the Mediterranean and the wonderful Cornice road, along which Dante walked and which reminded him as it ran from Marseilles to Genoa ot, the, road out of purgatory into paradise, -The lecturer took hit large audience through all the villages about Monaco and Monte Carlo, not forgetting famed Mentone, the consumptives final hope. His descriptions were of great beauty and eloquence.

The palace of the prince of Monaco, the casino where the gambling is carried oil, the spacious and beautiful grounds were shown and pictured in detail. The Interior apartments of the casino and the rooms where the gambling is done were especially interesting. By means of diagrams the two great games, rouge et noir and roulette, were ex- Slained and an instructive lesson on gam-ling was thrown on the screen. A tinted dissolving view of the hay by moonlight drew out much applause. BUNKER HILL DISTRICT.

President-of the Wachusett National Bank and Identified with Many Other Business Enterprises. Fitchburg, Nov 13 Pres Omon Lawrence of the Wachusett national bank died at 6 oclock this evening. His death was a great surprise, as he was at the bank only Saturday. He was drinking a cud of cocoa when he suddenly expired. He has been in ill health for six months, nervous prostration confining him to his bed several times within that period, but it was not thought to be of fatal character at any time.

GREEN AND CLARKE. Former Talks to Nationalists on Nationalism and the Latter on Collectivism or the New Democracy. Two addresses were delivered at the meeting of the First Nationalist club, held in the Charlesgate hotel last evening. Mason H. Green of the New Nation was the first speaker.

He said that every intelligent man was coming to a realizing sense that there was a new influence at work in the community. He then spoke of the general depression in trade and commerce. Many thousands of men were not needed as workers, the farmers out west could not make a decent living, corn could not be sold at $1 a bnshel. Every man was a nationalist in his own home. A man would do forhisfamily what he would not do for himself.

Men, were not bora to com pete and scratch fora living. He contended that the strong forces of nature were in the direction of socialism. William Clarke of the London Daily Chronicle, and a member of the Fabian society, was the next speaker. He was warmly -received, and loudly applauded during a long speech. He complained of a cold which lie had caught, by the abominable overheating of the railroad cars but he spoke in nu easy, graceful manner, and gave a clear storv of the rise of collectivism, a term which he preferred to either socialism or nationalism; HAD TO FLEE THE COUNTRY.

Ex Cashier Hilliard of Chicago Brought 'Back from Gibraltar. Chicago, Nov 13 Louis A. Hilliard, the embezzling ex cashier of the Chicago Tribune, who arrived in New York yesterday from Gibraltar, stole over $15,000 from his employers and carried nearly half the money with him when he fled in September. Hilliard was trusted implicitly. He had charge of the bank account, paid tbe various employes, and had numberless opportunities for stealing.

This he accomplished by juggling the companys bank account. He was always at his post, and was regarded as a model employe. At the beginning of September he asked for a brief vacation and was granted leave of absence for several days. He did not return at the appointed time and an investigation of his books showed that he began stealing almost the day he entered the companys service and gradually increased the amounts taken until lie weiu, away, when he drew $6000 from the bank at one time. Hilliard came from Vermont and bronght with him high recommendations.

His downfall was due to high living. Though his salary was only $1500 he lived at a fashionable hotel in Oak pk and associated only with young men of wealth. He had a fondness for theaters and frequently gave box parties. Sometimes he invited his friends to supper at a swell hotel ou the lake front, and the market afforded nothing too good for these occasions. Wine was free as water and he incurred enormous bills which were always paid on sight.

Hilliard dressed elegantly, and this fact, together with other expenditures, first aroused suspicion. When questioned, however, he said he had funds from an estate. While abroad Hilliard offered to give iid part ot his stealings to escape prosesution. but the offer was refused and he consented to return without waiting for extradition papers. Hilliard had many friends in the city who would have helped him out of his difficulties, but he was too proud to ask 'his friends for aid, and was therefore compelled to keep on stealing, and as that could not long ue concealed he was obliged to leave the country.

HIS DOOR3 WILL BE CLOSED. Pres Cleveland About to Give Hia Time to Writing His Message. Nov 13 Although congress will meet three weeks from today, Pres Cleveland has not yet begun the actual preparation of his annual message, but he will commence active work on it at once.

Under the other cairn were found manuscripts and a note, written in English, asking the finder to send the papers to Baron Nordenskjold or the nearest consul. Near this cairn lay a skeleton, supposed be that of either Bjorlfg or Kalvennius. TAKES NO BACK WATER. Ex Premier Mercier Resents the Charge of Disloyalty for His Opinion on Canadian Independence. Quebec, Nov 13 Mr Mercier, who lately made a tour of the principal centers of the United States pleading for closer union of Canada and the United States, was today in parliament accused of disloyalty, to which he replied by openly proclaiming himself favorable to Canadian independence of England.

lie said there was no treason in discussing Canadas future, and said if she waa prosperous it was in spite of England and her British connection and Britisn egotism. Asa British subject he demanded freedom of speech in such matters, and he denied he had preached sedition or would agitate taking up arms against England, especially as he believed the latter would not fire a shot to retain Canada against her will. Independence of England had made the United States rich and powerful, and he believed it would do the same, thing for Canada. Loyalty was not servility, and the first duty of French Canadians was certainly not to England. He had as much right to agitate independence as the dissatisfied English Canadians of some years ago had to agitate annexation, and of these Sir Alexander Galt and Sir John Rose, instead of being branded traitors, were loaded with imperial honors.

Besides this, when in the New England (states recently, lie found there over 1,000,000 of liis fellow-countrymen happy, contented and prosperous. REGRETS IN BRIGHTON.

CRISIS PENDING. Sheet Iron and Steel Manufacturers Will Meet at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg. Penn, Nov 13 A crisis has been reached in the difficulty between the sheet iron and sheet steel manufacturers and the Amalgamated association. The 17,000 employes of 21 mills, located in several states, are affected. The manufacturers will hold their regular monthly meeting tomorrow, when some action will be taken in regard to the demand made by them for a 10 percent reduction of wages, on the scale signed July 27 for one year. Sec John Jarrett of the manufacturers association, which includes all tin plate mills, said today that he did not care to talk about the matter until the meeting was held, but the manufacturers would certainly take action of some kind.

A well known sheet manufacturer said while he could not speak for the association he was individually in favor of shutting down the mills and forcing the reduction by any means possible to accomplish it. The Apollo iron and steel company has broken away from the scale agreement and started np non-union under lower rates than provided for in the scale. This action placed the other sheet firms at a disadvantage. It has now been about two months since the proposition was submitted. The manufacturers gave notice a month ago that thev would give the Ama Iga mated association plenty of time to make known its decision and after a reasonable length of time had elapsed they would then adopt measures whereby they will bring about a reduction of wages.

They say the time is now at hand, arid consequently they are expected to do something decisive tomorrow- It is predicted the manufacturers association will be dissolved and the members will thenlclose their mills. If they cannot force their men through idleness to return to work at the manufacturers figures an attempt will he made to run non-union. The manufacturers may then reorganize under another name. WILL REVISE THE SCALE. Convention of Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers Called.

Pittsburg, Penn, Nov 13 The Amalga mated association of iron and steel workers has taken the most important step in its history. It is a call for another national convention in this city this week to revise the scale adopted by the convention last June. This is the first time in the history of the great organization that two national conventions have been held in the same year, and shows that the situation is deemed exceedingly serious by the officials. This move is the result of the various meetings which have been held in Youngstown, all last week, and also several secret conferences which have been lieid by Amalgamated officials with the manufacturers of the Mahoning valley in io, which includes Youngstown, and the Slie-nango valleys in Pennsylvania. The convention will be held in Pittsburg.

It is declared by the Amalgamated association officials that every effort will be made to keep the convention in session only one day. The Amalgamated annnal scale adopted in June accepted a reduction of 50 cents a ton for puddling or from $5.50 to $5. also a 10 percent cut in finishing rates. It is now compelled to submit to further reductions all over America because ot the activity of a rival union, organized by disaffected finishers, and whose strength is confined to the Ohio field. ANOTHER INJUNCTION ISSUED.

Carpenters union, 33, Indorsed by a unanimous vote the position of the Central labor union in sustaining the action of Brewers union, 14, in refusing to recognize the boycott on the American brewing company. It was decided also to stand by the brewers union and refnse to patronize any saloon keeper who refused to handle union beer. Considerable routine business was transacted at the meeting of Lasters protective union at 45 Eliot st last evening.

It was voted to sustain the attitude taken by the Central labor union in deciding to protect all union men employed in the American brewery.

Sweeping Denial Made by the Master Workman. Philadelphia, Nor 13 The delegates to the biennial constitutional convention of the Knights of Labor will meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at Industrial hill. The meeting will bo held behind closed doors and only such matter as the leaders dictate will be given to the press through the medium of a press committee. The assembly will be opened and tddressed by master workman Terence V. Poverty.

The committee on credentials will then meet, and after their action the final fight to the death between the two predominant factions of knights will, according to the leaders of the orders, rank and file, begin and be fought to a finish. A prominent delegate to the convention nid tonight: The scheme on the surface means first and last the disintegration of the order and the gobbling up of the property of the order by a select few among its leaders. The executive committee of the order consists of Terence V. Powderly, John Devlin, A. W.

Wright, T. B. McGuire and Congressman John Davis of Kansas. Of these the fiat three are in tho scheme. The fourth is doubtful, and the fifth has not yet arrived in the city, and probably will not attend the meeting.

The scheme will be sprung directly after the report of the committee on credentials and the organization of the convention br master workman Powderly. or one of his followers, in the shape of a motion to adjourn sine die. This motion will be sprang after a careful canvass of the members and after an oration by Mr Powderly, in which he will picture in glowing colors an ideal and monster organization with which all labor orders will be amalgamated, or at least identified. It is possible that Mr Powderly will limply point to this grand amalgamation is a possibility of the future, and advocate the adjournment sine die as merely a first dep to its accomplishment. He will probably refer, read or quote from letters from Pres Gompers of the American federation of labor and other lesdea stating that their organizations at their annual meetings will take similar KtiOB.

He will then go on to state that all of these orders, the Knights of Labor, the American Federation of Labor, the Farmers tV.unce, the locomotive engineers and iremas orders and others having thus afiazmed without any provision for a Afore meeting, their executive officers will confer and agree upon a common date ana nlnoe tor a grand mutual meeting. This meeting, the orator of the schemers will declare, will accomplish if nothing else a general conference among the delegates of all the different orders and result at least in a mutual understanding of the acts and ends of the various orders. It will also, this orator will claim, re-i suit in more turned action in politics and lead to that grand final amalgamation of all orders which shall lead to the emancipation of labor from the thraldom of capital. "So far, continued the delegate, so good, but now to the African in the wood-pile. Backed by the eloquence of Mr Pow-derlv and the skilful manipulations of his followers, it is altogether possible that, in spite of the respectable and intelligent opposition.

this adjournment motion will be earned with a whoop. With the passage of that motion the death knell of the Knights of is Kmr.ded. Jo power on earth can call another assembly of the knights save the executive committee, three of whom, constituting a majority, are in the scheme.

Firing at Rio Kept Up Day and Niglit. Casualties on the Whole Are Slight. Report of Hoisting Imperial Standard Confirmed. London. Ncr 14 The Times has this dis patch from Rio Janeiro, under the date of Nov 10: There was heavy firing on Sunday and Monday by the government forts on Ville-gaignon island.

The outside walls were much damaged, but the interior was left intact. Two men were killed and seven wounded. The troops at Mt Castello opened a musketry fire at 1200 yards on Monday. Fort Villegaignon and the warship Aquidaban replied with machine guns, killing and wounding 20 soldiers and four spectators. The firing continues night and dav, and there is an immense waste of ammunition.

Two guns at Castello fired upon fort Villegaignon on Wednesday. The Aquidaban replied, and many of her shells fell in the business quarter of the city. Several persons were wounded. The bombardment, it is said, resulted from the governments firing from the town in contravention of the agreement with the foreign representatives. There are continual skirmishes at Nich-therov.

A torpedo launch was sunk on Wednesday. The casualties on the whole are slight. Pome houses have been burned and a gashouse has been destroyed. The new government cruiser Aurora, built by the Armstrongs, is expected daily, as is also the El Cid, a wooden cruiser. The Tamandare is now completely fitted with machinery, and will be a valuable addition to the insurgents navy.

Admiral Paldanho de Gama, one of the ablest naval officers in Brazil, who hitherto has been neutral, has joined the insurgents, carrying with him the sympathy of a great many adherents in both army and nary. lie belongs to one of the best families In Brazil.The insurgents thus far have been unable to gain the islands of Cobras and Incliadas. Gama has assumed command of operations at Rio Janeiro and the Aquidaban has gone out in search of the Aurora. The government sent a recruiting commission recently to 'the state of Minas-Geraei. but it has returned without aceom-plish'uK anything.

Three thousand arnica and well drilled insurgents are at Desterro aud 6o00 more have surrounded the government troops at Peiotas and Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul. They propose to capture these government forces and then proceed to Desterro. The situation, if prolonged, threatens disaster to commercial interests. The majority of the nusiness community consider thal'tlie recognition of the insurgents as belligerents would make the speediest end of the war, as Admiral Mello asserts that Iris whole object is to establish blockades. Life and property would be saved by such a course.

The Iiines correspondent confirms the report that of the hoisting of the imperial standard by the insurgents, and suggests that this was the signal for Gama and his followers to go over to the insurgent squadron. 1 BULLET-PROOF BOAT. Important Addition to Peixotoa Fleet in New York Harbor ew York, NoV 13 An important addition was made today to the Brazilian fleet fitting out at this port. It was a Yarrow torpedo boat; built iu London. The boat arrived on the Atlantic transport steamer Mohawk, which was docked at the foot of West 26th st late in the afternoon.

She is built of steel, is said to be bullet proof, and is of 16 tons burden: 63 feet long. 9 feet beam, 2 feet 3 inches in draft. HOr speed i 18 knots. Her hull is painted a dull lead color and she sports a yellow smokestack. She is very sharp forward and lias a nice run aft.

She has triple expansion engines ami a balance rudder, and is fitted with steering gear of the differential type. The engine room, which is aft; has aeeom nidations for 12 tnen. It is retorted that another Yarrow tor- Fiedo boat has been purchased for Brazil, is said that she is of HO tons burden. 140 feet long, 14.5 feet beam, and six feet deep. Sho has three torpedo tubes and three machine gnns.

She has a speed of 24 knots. This second boat will be taken direct to Rio de Janeiro, it is said. It was learned today that El Uid and the Britannia will rendezvous at Pernambuco, and not at Pata. as was first intended. Admiral Duarte, who represents Pres Peixoto.

is to meet the two ships there with the men-of-war Bahia and Tiradentes, which are still controlled by Pres Peixoto, and to organize what will he known as the northern squadron of Brazil. The change in the meeting place is said to have been made because the harbor of Para is narrow, and might be a dangerous place for Pres Peixoto ships in ease Admiral Mellos fleet should make an attack. At Pernambuco there is a fine open roadstead and plenty of sea room to fight in. In spite of all the rush and hurry at the Morgan iron works it does not look as if the Britannia could he got ready to sail this week. Save for coal aud ammunition, El Uid is ready to start.

El Cid will carrv 4KK tons of coal. Part of it will be stowed in bunkers around the machinery for protective purposes. The giant davits which are being built at the Morgan iron works to lift the two torpedo boats Feiseen and Javelin will have a capacity of about 30 tons. Once on deck, these boats will be in cradles of yellow oak nearly amidships. The officers of El Cid are waiting the arrival of Capt Zalinski, the inventor of the dynamite gun.

from Chicago. He was expected today, but did not put in an appearance. Capt Zalinski. it is said, will go down to Brazil on El Cid and will have charge of the dynamite gun. Minister Mcnuonoa of Brazil was in town today and had a consultation with Charles R.

Flint, whose firm is fitting out the expedition. He declined positively to be interviewed. LONDON LEFT IN DOUBT. Brazilian Legation Hears Nothing Further About Bombardment. London, Nov 13 Members of the Brazilian legation here have lieard nothing from Rio Janeiro as to Pres Peixotos reviving martial law, or Admiral Mellos preparing to bombard the city again.

They discredit the current reports on both subjects. A dispatch from Pans says that the Brazilian minister there declined to make any statement as to his latest advices from Rio Janeiro. A. N. Feitosa, secretary of the legation in Paris, said today that he discredited all reports of Admiral Mellos receiving financial aid from Count dEu.

Most men dislike to go to the barber, but are compelled to do so because they cannot keep their razors sharp. Here is a simple way of doing it Saturate your razor strop with viscol, and then rub on a little rouge or the finest emery dust.

The viscol keeps the strop soft, prevents it from becoming glazed, and causes the rouge to adhere to the leather. A few good strokes on such a strop will put a keen edge on a razor. Viscol also keeps shoes and boots soft and waterproof. 1 1 is now sold by shoe dealers and harness makers, in -pint cans at 25c. 1 pint.

During Gadds stay in Bos- ton the checks and drafts cashed by Wil-i lister were nearly all pronounced good, andf not until the former left Boston did that worthless paper turn np. According to the police Gadd was sysy tematically floating paper for email amounts around the city and working all -his new made friends with a well developed plan to skip out as soon as it commenced to' come back again. With a good credit established at that hotel which he used to run up bills with tailors: jewelers and other merchants around Boston, he is alleged to have made4 a ten strike just before he went away. In July he went to superintendent Burgher and told him that he was going toj take a brief vacation in the White moun-j tains with his wife, and he started on hial suoposed journey. His bill with the hotell Grand amounted to $350, and he gave, landlord Reynolds a check for a $160 drawn on tne Garfield national hank of New York and a draft on E.

Mr Reynolds sent the draft to bis bank for collection. It came back with the statement that it was worthless. Tha check was likewise returned and then tha matter was placed iu the hands of Chief Inspector Coulter.

He conferred with tha New York police, and the latter have been! actively searching for Gadd since. It was not long before Gadds former friends began to make inquiries about hinsi and his various alleged crooked transac-1 tions were brought to light. W. II.

The latter is alleged to have swindled a piano company of New York out of large 1 amount of money, and a reward has beem off ered for his arrest. Both men were seen 1 together a good deal in Boston, and the New York officers say they are probably with each other now. It was learned that Gadds father on 4 numerous occasions got his son out of.

trouble, but finally declared that he would have nothing more to do with him. The young man left his home quite early and went to Texas and became a cowboy. He afterwards went into the real estate busi- ness and prospered, but is alleged to have 1 sunk himself into debt and was obliged to 1 leave the state. At one time he was treasurer of the Me- Call opera company and also aspired to be, an actor, and appeared ou the stage at different times.

Tonight' the Sohmalzried stove companys building only recently built on tlie ashes of a blaze which occurred a year ago, caught fire and was destroyed. The Y.

M. G. A. rooms are located directly over the stove company. They were filled with young men when the flames broke out, and so fiercely and rapidly did the fire do its work that many were obliged to jump from the third-story windows.

A. K. Perkins, tiie secretary of the association. was one of the first to jump. He turned over as he fell and landed ou his head, receiving injuries from which he will die.

Mr Perkins comes from Pittsfield, Mass, where bis widowed mother now lives. Several others were also hurt, and it is believed that four or five did not escape, but met their death in the flames. The fire loss will foot up to $500,000. STARTED BY BOYS. They Wanted Some Fun, So Set Fire to Mrs McCabes House.

An mcendiary fire in the tliree-story wooden building at 125 West 8th st, South, Boston, was the cause of the alarm from box 127 at 5.35 oclock last evening. The house is owned and occupied bv Mary McCabe. The blaze was started in a water closet by some boys who evidently desired to create a little excitement and who ran away as soon as it was started. Discovery came before the flames had gained much headway and the apparatus arriving quickly on the scene, the blaze was extinguished with but slight damage to the house. The police of division 6 are looking for the boys.

Two Dwellings Damaged in Brighton. At 12.03 oclock this morning an alarm was sounded from box 823 at Barrys Comer, Brighton, for a fire in a two-story wooden dwelling on Hemmeron pi, owned by James M. Flvnn. The blaze extended to an adjoining dwelling house, owned by James Heffeman and caused a damage of $500 to each house. The house in which the blaze originated is unoccupied and what caused the fire is not known.

Local Fire Record. The alarm from box 968 at 2.45 yesterday was false. It was caused by a coal wagon driving against the post, knocking off the box, thereby sending in tlie alarm. 1 ji" i'ai-HC After 25 Years About twenty-fire years ago I was afflicted with a disease which the doctors pronounced SCROFULA, I was treated by seyeralpbysi-clans and specialists without being benefited and I tried many blood remedies, with- out relief. was recommended, and drier 31595m lne six bottles I am now well, rffiTn my skin is perfectly clear, and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars.
