She had not been seen by any of her friends or neighbors for at least four or five days The condition of the body indicates that she must have- died about Monday The police naturally searched the house carefully buWound nothing disturbed Mrs French did not engage servants or maids as she preferred to be alone in the house The lower apartments such as the parlors were never used and the curtains or draperies were drawn Their condition showed plainly that the eccentric woman was not particular about their appearance i The son of James French an uncle took i charge the premises after

elusion is strengthened by the the Crompton mills -owned by the same company have not been notified of an advance in wages These and the few other Rhode Island mills engaged in the manufacture of prints will probably not advance wages until the movement becomes general in all the cotton mills in the state The manufacturers in Providence strenuously deny that 'there Is any Justification for a raise in the wages of the operatives and an increase in the labor cost of the product at a time when cotton is advancing in price and many mills are sold for months ahead at prices lower than are now quoted for cloth They admit however that a wage increase seems to be inevitable but that action by Provldenf-e agents must follow that of mills in fine goods centers like New Bedford rather than the

Spanish Rem- Jen Corbin la Likely to Be Given Oom maud of the Army WASHINGTON March Lieutenant General Miles is likely to be placed on the retired list at an early day and Adjutant General Corbin is a candidate to succeed him in command of the army although he may have to wait for General Brooke A sensational attack on the bill preri pared by Secretary Root and Adjutant General Corbin for the creation of a general staff system In the army and incidentally on Mr Root and General Corbin personally made by General Miles as a witness before the senate committee on military affairs yesterday in which he declared he would resign his commission if the blU passed and that it waB intended to enable Secretary Root and General Corbin to advance their favorites seems almost certain to bring this about General Miles cannot of course be officially censured for statements made by him before a committee of congress which summoned him and questioned him but what he said seems to make it Impossible for him to continue in the Official relations at the war department even though they had already become purely official and although his duties have been gradually made more and more perfunctory It Is well known that General Miles and General Corbin have been in constant opposition and th-at since the beginning of the Spanish war General Miles has been deprived gradually of almost all power Secretary Hoot followed pretty closely in the footsteps of Secretary Alger in this matter after the first few weeka of his administration Latterly the position of General Miles has been made more and more uncomfortable He was sharply censured by Secretary Root for his comment on the Schley case he was ignored in the preparation of the legislation presented to congress by the war department and his recent advice as to terminating the conflict in the Phil ippines was rejected General Miles knows that the war department is Investigating to find out whether the news of that advice and the action upon it which the administration desired should be kept an official secret got through him and that he 111 probably be placed upon the retired hat If it Is discovered that that was the case He therefore seems to have become desperate and to have spoken his mind with even more than customary frankness to the senate committee yesterday although in a confidence which some member of the committee must have misunderstood because a detailed report of what Gen eral Miles said has gotten to the press The bill as proposed by the war de partment would not actually decrease the power or duties of General Miles but might rather increase them but his successor could be set aside under it openly and a captain promoted to the chief military office of the army at the head of the general staff This Gen Miles held to be in contradiction of the teachings of the greatest military authorities and contrary to sound policy Gen Miles told the committee that if this provision should become a law it would have the effect of destroying the unity of the numerous authf lean Weill ngtonV Grant to show the necessity of having one head to the army and of oon-trolliug authority On being asked why he located the American army of occupation at'Tampa and held it there so long with the re suiting congestion he said that it was because of the order to occupy Havana The delay was due he said to the fact that the American army was supplied with only 64 rounds of ammunition which would not have been sufficient for more than half an hour of fighting He declined however to criticise the their secretary of war Gen Alger for the -condition of affairs saying that probably any one else In the position would have done about what he did He laid the general blame for this condition of unpreparedness at the door of congress He added that in all probability the senior general of the army would not under the provision he had quoted have been in position to do anything and he called attention to the clause relieving him (the senior general) of command and making it possible for many other officers to be appointed Under sec 3 he declared it uwuuyiug ar he read winding Napo-

ATTACKS CLEVELAND Bryan Denounces Him as a Traitor Ingrate and Nonsntity LINCOLN Neb March In the forthcoming issue of his Commoner Bryan makes an attack on Grover Cleveland denouncing film as a traitor and political nonentity The animus of the attack is the let ter recently written by jSlr Cleveland to Ml Runnels a MisSt'ippl editor In which the former pre-ilent says he is overjoyed to see time is fast approaching when our jgrand old party will shake off the dreadful dreams that has afflicted It and Qgl again as of old the glorious battles if pure Democ Mr Bryan in his rejoinder says in part: understand what he (Cleveland) considers dreadful dreams and what he regards as pure Democracy we must recall his last administration For four years he stood between the people and reform: for four years the corporations and syndicates fontrolled hs administration and forced him to veto Democratic measures fend sign Republi can measures He wa charged with a betrayal of his trust wlth turning the party organization over to Wall street The evidence was complete and 6 500 K) of voters supported the platform hich repudiated his financial policy If Mr Cleveland think that the Democratic party Is ready "to return to the mire into which he Jed and in which he left it let him announce his candidacy on any platform he wining to write and he cannot secure the delegation from a single state In the Union If his modesty forbids- htB ovtn candidacy let him name a candfdate who will agrte to make his administration like Mr Cleveland's For an Advance in Wages Not Later Tban the 31st Weavers to Confer wilh Agents on Standard Price List At a meeting of the New Bedford Textile council which la represented by delegates from all the textile unions in the city it was decided to have the secretary Johh Waldron frame a letter to the manufacturers making a formal demand of 'them for an advance in wages ijf that city to take effect not later tlJaSn March 31st The Wet'ng of the council was the result of the vote of the loom meeting the other evening when It was voted to instiuct Secretary Murphy to have a meeting of the Textile council called at which he was Instructed to bring up the matter of making a formal demand fori an advance 1 The meeting wds held Wednesday and the subject bt the meeting was the wage question IMr Murphy brought up the matter of a formal demand according to his Instructions It was argued that all the labor unions which have discussed the wage question at the meetings held within the past month were unquestionably in favor of demanding an advance in wages and that the Textile council was the proper body to uige such a demand of the manufacturers The question was debated for some time with the result that it was voted to instruct the secretary to write to the manufacturers and make a formal demand fern an advance in wages to take effect wot later than March 1st There is entire haimony among the unions over the matter of an advance end the labor leaders and other! textile workers feel that there can be no question about their being entitled to an advance Said one labor leader last night: case no advance should be announced In this city I am not sure that trouble could be An executive committee of the union was held last evening when the communication from the association was considered The manufacturers granted the weavers a conference on the matter of a standard list for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Masonic building and after the conference on the standard list the matter of an advance in wages will be taken up by the session The exeeutie committee last evening voted to instruct its conference committee Messrs Cunnane Gregory Goodwin and Halt to use all their best arguments in trying to get the manufacturers to favorably con Blder the standard list Many of the weavers have openly expressed themselves as wishing for the standard list In preference to an ad vance f7 The rest from the manufacturers was referred to the eonfererice committee uSt how the demand of the Textile luncll will complicate affairs cannot be predicted Before Wednesday the only labor unlon to put itself on record as wishing an advance in wages was the union: Now all the unions are on record andTllie pianufacturers have been asked to advance wages in all departments in the mills THEY WANTAN ADVANCE Eode Island Spinners Will Ask for 10 Per Cent Increase Definite action in the matter of securing an advance of 10 per cent in ages was taken at a general meeting of the Rhode Island Mule association which was last night at the headquarters of the Organization In the Cottrell building Pawtucket In view of the recent increase of 10 per cent In the wages of operatives employed In the Fall River mills and ir other cities of New England the spinners of Rhode Island came to the con elusion that the time was opportune for pressing thtir claims for addltiona compensation A special call was issued for last night's meeting of the association ani' there was a full representation In attendance delegations being present from almost every mill in the state especially those In the Pawtuxet and Blackstone Valleys and there was ar earnest and thorough consldeiatlon of the wage question The sentiment of the meeting was that a request should be made Tor an increase of 10 per cent in wages the contention being made If the mill managers of Massachusetts cities could give the advance there was no reason why It should not be forthcoming in Rhode Island where there are two more hours of labor in the Week thn In the neighboring state where the 58-hou bill Is in operation General Secretary Cllffe was author lzed to communicate to the manager of the different mills the action taken and request that an answer be forwarded before March 27 the date of the next general meeting It Is propose to have the new schedule go into -eT feet on April 1 The nvule spinners are determined tc have thla advance and unless it granted forthwith It is not at all Im probable that a strike will be ordered The mule organization Is wel prepared for any emergency that mv arise although they do not expect that a strike will be necessary They con tend that the general prosperity of manufacturing present and prospective Warrants the Increase requested and are hopeful that the manufacturers will coincide with their view of the sit uatlon At the meeting last vening a vote was passed indorsing the 58-hour bill now pending in the general assembly WILL ADVANCE WAGES Notices to That Effect Posted in Nam quit Ootton Mill Bristol Yesterday Superintendent Hill of the Namquit cotton mill of Bristol was in etructed by the Richmond Manufac turing company the owners to post notices declaring that the wages of the employes numbering about 250 had been advanced to correspond with the prices now being paid in Fall River th advance to date from Monday March 17 The notices were at once posted and they are strictly in accordance with th rule followed by thl Fall River In -terest In establishing the new prices The employee became aware of the ad vance in wages and are very much pleased The Namquit mill Is running full time and has been for several months The announcement of the Increase in wages at the Namqyit mills at Bristol owned by the Richmond: Manufacturing obetpany of this city is the first step 'T Immense Ice Jam May-Be Blown Up by Dynamite BANGOR Me March 21-The big toll bridge and tjie Maine Central bsl ge between Bangor and Brewer have Just been carried away by flood and It Is reported that a number of lives are lost There Is great excitement and the water is still rising Several Bangor streets are flooded the Bangor Orono Oldtown car line Is out of commission and Maine Central and Bangor Aroostook trains east of Bangor are hung up-as the result of the Penobscot river overflowing its banks The water Is higher at Bangor than at any previous time since the memorable flood of 1S46 Rain has been falling In torrents for 48 hours" and thp Penobscot swollen to freshetpltch has broken away two big ice jame i One between Greenbush and Costlgan gave way yesterday morning the great ice cakes (ariying wlh them ubcut fCO-04)0 feet of logs from the head of Freese'S island This ice caught at Veazie a mile above Bangor and still holds there Another Jam started from above th Bangor and Brewer toll bridge and was swept down to High Head below the Maine Central wharves The jam there is an eighth of a mile long and shows no signs of weakening It is this Jam that is causing the trouble at Bangor as the immense volume of water coming down in the Penobscot can find no-egress and is backing up Broad street is floedtd end merchants are moving their goods In the lower part of the street the water is so deep that it is possible to get about only in boats Teams gre busy removing goods from storehouses in Exchange street The lower floor of the building occupied by the Bangor Daily News is flooded the presses engine and boiler being submerged The News published its paper this morning from the office of the Commercial Iltoies in West Market square and In Central street are also flooded When the lower Jam broke It carried away the big coal staging of the East- ern Manufacturing company and Long' wharf This wharf was carred away a year ago and rebuilt strongly enough it was supposed to withstand any freshet A culvert at Red Bridge above Bangor washed out last night interrupting all traffic on the Maine Central and Bangor Aroostook east of Bangor -Threq bad washouts on the Bangor an enormous mass of Ice and logs was hurled down river When it struck the Maine Central bridge the ceptral piers were broken out and almost tthout warning the entire bridge gave way The big toll bridge which connects the cities of Bangor and Brewer the next obstruction met by the over-rushing ice and logs atrd the structure was not strong enough to withstand the pressure A section about 70 feet long was torn from the centre and the remainder of the bridge is likely to go A few miral'tes before the bridges went out the railroad bridge was crowded with people and a number of pedestrians were on the toll bridge It is stated damage to property of all kinds and probably loss of life There is a stretch of solid and broken ice below the city extending six miles to Hampden and it is this that holds the water up Should It hold wffiere it is and the upper Jam come down upon it the whole business section of Bangor and much of the residential section would be under water In short order Trains from the east have not been able to get Into Bangor today stopping half a mile above the east side station and the passengers left the cars and came down town in carriages- The Maine Central tracks on both sides of the city are under water the water works and lighting plant are shut down the stations being flooded out and the water supply is limited to the capacity of the standpipes Later The Penobscot river is still rising and the lower streets of the down-town section of the city are flodd-Ing rapidly The ice jam above the pumping station dam is still solid but it is feared that it may start at any moment owing to the height of the river and the great pressure coming from above The board of aldermen held a meeting at 8 o'clock this morning when it was voted to attempt to break the Ice Jam In the

this Tespect The plot such as it is Is ratheT drear and obscure and much'of the alleged English humor is of the type prevalent In London where the public is allowed three days of grace before making returns in laughter for the which is offered them The music however Is catchy tunefjil and pleasing and this It is which contributes most ma terially to the measure of success attained by It is then all the more surprising that In a comedy here such excellent opjiortunities are afforded for solo vocalization so little effort or pretence should have been made In a company as pretentious and successful as this one is to have provided singers fitted by natural voice or artistic acquirement to fill the leading roles It could not have been the matter of salaries for a management that charges upper Broadway prices In towns like Fall River Newport Brockton and New Bedford could surely afford to have paid men and women for singing rather than simply talking their songs and "travelling on their shapes" MHs Isadore Rush who assumed the leading character is as she always was when travelling -with her late husband Roland Reed IjjistTaigbt comedy roles however as has been the verdict elsewhere is due to the general ensemble stagirg costuming and chorus work of the company The double sextette in Me Pretty is a very pretty and decidedly artistic feature ard amply merited the warm applause wdh which It was greeted last night 7 he song the Shade of the Sheltering by Sydney Deane was well rendered and was the only so-o in the entire programme which wras up to the standard of expectation from such a notable company It was the chorus work strong well trained and harmonious which redeemed In a great measure the deficiencies noted above and went far towards making -the entertainment more enjoyable The costuming too was magnificent and attractive and the seen to equipments fill that could be expected But without any attempt to criticize the local management which was In no way responsible therefor candor compels the statement that the person who expends $2 for a seal at a performance is not earning usurious interest on the Investment in witnessing the performance There was one event witnessed last night that was not on the programme which detracted much from the enjoyment of the audience and which under certain circumstances might have been attended with dangerous consequences The performance had been in progress only a few minutes when a blew out of the electric lighj mechanism and the stage and auditorium were plunged into Inky darkness So suddenly did the thing happen that -many In the audience Imagined for a 'time that it was simply a shifting of scenery or that was in progress but tt soon became apparent that something out of the ordinary had occurred There was a hurrying and scurrying behind the scenes that could be heard but not seen -by the worried and wondering audience and the serious thought came Into more than one mind of how easily panic or confusion frightful In its contemplation might have followed In the wake of an Inopportune or reckless cry from some excitable or over-nervous member of the audience Consider that the house was packed from pit to dome with a mass of humanity In utter darkness and one may readily conceive what might have followed In the event of a foolish outcry But the Immense audience behaved admirably under the high tension and one guy in the balcony noting the great need of light lit and held up a blazing parlor match which act caused considerable mirth although playing -w ith matches was not a very wise pastime at that particular moment I Finally the gas was turned on some of which was burned to light the house and a great deal more inhaled by the audience and later a new plug was fitted in the dynamo machinery only to be blown out again The incident detracted much from the smooth running of the performance not to speak of the nervous qualms bf the auditors and should serve to call the attention of the owners of the Academy to the fact that a little more care and possibly a trifle more of expense might with advantage and prudence be bestowed upon the lighting and roe chanical facilities of the building THE SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION Of Madame Le Fevre health and beauty specialties continues with great success at emporium You should secure a trial bottle of Manda for the rerm'
