Employers Withdraw Reduction ; Employees Withdraw Demands. London, Aug. 21.--The danger of a strike. of the cotton operatives has been averted at the conference at Man- chester. The masters withdrew the five per cent. reduction which was ordered at Bolton, and all the operatives withdrew their demand for an ad- vance in pay. The masters are to pay a five per cent. bonus under specified conditions for three months and the wages now in eficct are to be maintained until March 1st, 1900, when each side will be free to take whatever aotion it wishes in regard to wages. The colonial secretary of Gambia, Pritish West Africa, reports officially that the attempt to increase the ont put of cotton is almost a failure. He fears that cotton growing in Gambia will prove to be impossible, partly owing to the sandy soil, : The efforts of the government and the British Ootton Growing' Associa gion to foster the trade has resulted in a substantial loss. The people take little interest in the cultivation of cotton and prefer to keep for cloth- making at home what little is grown instead of exporting it. They find that peanuts pay better and are \ more easily culivated, APACHES ON RAMPAGE. S---- Stock Stolen From Settlers Who Arc. Organizing. Santa Fe, N:M., Aug. 21.--Word was received at the headquarters of the New Mexico Rangers vesterday that Apache Tndians from Arizona are com- mitting depredations in Southwestern Socorro county, on the Mogullon re servation. Much stock has been taken from settlers, who have organized and are now. pursping the Indians. The Indians are believed to be under the leadership of Apache Kid. A courier from the pursuers reports that the settlers surprised the Indians in their camp in Elk Mountains and scattered them, recovering some of the stolen animals. While the pursuers were in camp that night the Indians returned and stole several of their horses. Arrangements are making to send out rangers after the marauders. -------- PROFESSORSHIP DECLINED.

Just stop and look them over. Lit- tle mixed up, eh ? But that didn't af- feet the ball game in the slightest. It was a good one, as the crowd of spec tators present can vouch for. And not only were the teams themselves mixed up, but the players were changed around during the game somewhat. Lawrson was found playing against his old pals from the foundry. In his place was "Nipper" Mathewson, up Boys in till the last innings. During that time he allowed five men to reach first om balls, struck eight out, allowed five hits, and pinned a man at the bat. In the ninth Welch took his place, and two singles and a double were gather- ed from his curves. Six runs crossed the plate, one man walked, and none struck out. Robb, an old Oriental devotée, was in box two innings for the BEmeralds, Three rune off his pitching, three sin- gles, and two strike outs was his re- cord. As for Lawrson, he alowed two bases on balls, made one dead ball, and was touched up for eight hits. As for the game itself it was fairly good, but the Black Watch was sel- dom dangerous. The Emeralds took the lead at the go in, and kept it al- locomotive lads got up steam, but only to drop behind again.

We wish at this stage to digress from the strict line of comment on the work of the Parliamentary Special Committee, to refer to an important matter which is apropos to the sub- ject of our last " Talk." We refer to the advantage to this Company and to the commercial life of Canada, in the ex- change of connections with the local and long distance systems of the United States. op Telephone conversations are carried on almost continuously, night and day, between the entire system of the Bell Co. of Canada and the long distance lines and exchanges of the American Telegraph & Telephone Company, and ith. = affiliated Companies, placing half the continent at the elbow of every subscriber. The traffic is as free from complications as if it were one Company. ry 4 Equipment of the highest efficiency, practically standard- ized in all Offices and subscribers' stations, is an absolute essential to service over an extended area: Lack of such a standard is the fatal weakness of loca! systems operated as they are under separate administrations and with divided and often clashing interests. . : No other Company in Canada, in.competition with the Bell Telephone Co. of Canada, has the advantage of this connection. Without the same standard of equip ment and appliances, such an exchange of service could not be operated satisfactorily, even if the connection could be obtained. : : The Bell Telephone Co. of Canada, entirely free, as has been shown, in its financial affairs andin its internal administration, possesses an asset of inestimable value to itself and patrons in its business relations with the American Telegraph & Tele- phone Co. of the United States.
