l'ubllo or the lSxtent or Misery In the
Slums.
Washington, Feb. 15. The general
subject of the Intercuts of labor will re
ceive a good share of attention before the
House of Representatives at an early day,
and probably tli'is week.
Very few labor bills have been pre
sented to the committee, and as a rule
thesAwere'on inconsequential subjects.
Bdt tho Very conservatism of the" com
mittee promises to brjng about results
6u( of the usual line of labor commit
tees. As a result of several meetings of
the committee of late it has about been
4ecided to present Vt resoltitlon to' Con
gress asking Labor' Commissioner Car
roil bright to, inatigurate an extenslVe
investigation of the "slums" in the great
cities of tho ' country, Snd particularly
New York, Chicntzo, Boston, Cincinnati,
St.' Louis, and Baltimore". '
This would' be a faV' nitite comprehen
sive investigation than that of Sherman
.Hoar's special committee, which will
look into the "sweating syitem"' as that
system deals only with a special case of
labor, mainly in ready made clothing,
but there are "slums'' in all great cities,
and Mr. Tarsney's associates are of the
opinion that much good can be accom
plished by informing the -public of tho
extent of misery in the "slum" districts
and by recommending to State Legisla
tures means for overcoming the1 evils of
the "slums." '
It has been stated at the meetings of
the committee that the Government gave
less attention to the proper housing and
surrounding of human"' beings than it
did to cattle which are the subject of
interstate commerce or foreign shipment.
There are rigid laws tb see that cattle
have sufficient room;-air. food-and water,
while ' being' -shipped, buU there is-less
attention paid to the huddled condition
of the poor in'the "slum" districts.
This is the opinion of tho Labor Com
mittee, and it will be presented to the
House by a resolution after the commit
tee's meeting"' nWt' Wednesday. Mr.
McCann of Chicago, who is one of the
piembers of the committee, thinks muoh
good wlll'come out of the-"slums" in
vestigation. He says' that the govern
ment can do no better service to citizens
than to see that they are brought up in
surroundings which will make them
sturdy and muscular, rather than a peo
ple stunted by slum surroundings. The
Cheap lodging houses, which have be-come-such
an element of life-in large
cities, will receive special investigation.
The tenement holiso will also be inves
tigated. 1 '' : ' ' ' its
In short the'pUVpos'e-bf 'the resolution
will bo to inaugurate the most extensive
investigation that has thus far been un
dertaken of the miseries and evils of
those whose lives are spent and spoiled
in the tenement house districts of Nsw
Ydrk, and whose children may become a
menace to the peace and prosperity of
that city in 'the future. '

He has been given considerable infor

who has been in the United States in
search of information recently.

She left the train at Gloucester, went to

She then went to a barber's aud ln

THE KING OF SIAM'S YACHT.
lie Will .Make a Tour of the World In
the Maha Cliakrlkr.
London, Feb. 15. The keel has been
laid at Messrs. Ramage & Ferguson's
ship yard, at Lelth, for a new private
yacht, to bo built entirely of steel, for
the King ot Slam, and which is intended
lo eclipse anything else" afloat.
Though this vessel is called a yacht,
she will really be a private armed cruiser
of 2,000 tons, iu which the King of Siam
proposes to make a tour of the world,
including a visit to America during the
exhibition year.
Her dimensions are 275 feet over all,
40 feet beam and 20 feet moulded depth.
She will be armed with the most im
proved broadside guns, permitting a wide
range ot fire. ,
Her internal fittings and the deck
woodwork will be most expensive and
elaborate. Polished teak has been
specially shipped from Bangkok, selected
to resist the ravages of white, ants and
other insects which are a scourge in
Siam. Electric lights and marble baths
are included among the luxuries.
She will bo a twin-screw vessel, with
triplo expansion engines capable of being
driven at tho highest rate of speed. She
will have double funnels, which will not
show much above the deck. She will
have no bowsprit, but her plumb stem
will be carried out under tho water into
a formidable projecting ram.
This stout yacht will be named Maba
Chakrike.
Work is being pushed with all possible
speed And the yacht will probably be
launched in September, when she will
steam from Slam with a Siamese crew iu
charge of European officers.
The intention of the King Is to cruise
around the world, calling at all import
ant European, American and Asiatic"
ports. i i
The budding of the spring chicken
has already commenced.
The auctioneer's voice is about being
heard.
Increasing daylight Is now quite

BAD FOR PLAYERS
Bnsobnll Magimtes working on
a New Contract.
WILL BE NO ADVANCE MONEY.
Brooklyn Men Will Have to Aooept Con
siderably Reduced Balarira-
Gotham's lllnnta Seriously Handicapped
by a Lack of Funds Active Manage
ment of the Cincinnati Club to be Left
to a Committee of Three Fresh Oosslp
of the Gaiue,
New Yohk, Feb. 15. When the mag
nates of the United League gather at
tho Fifth Aveuue Hotel, a few weeks
hence, they will devote several hours to
the consideration of the contract prob
lem. Many forms of contract will be sub
mitted to the gentlemen who run the
game, and one ot them will be adopted
as the official contract of the League.
Just now the contract most in favor is
the bno used by the Chicago Club last
year. This paper, stripped of its legal
dressing, calls for twelve monthly salary
days in every year. In other words, the
player receives his princely stipend in
twelve, instead of seven divisions,
Jim Hart, of Chicago, says that the
new contract is a gem, and that he will
do bis best to have it adopted at the
coming meeting. The Western delegates
will vote as a unit in ts favor. By the
wise provision of the Chicago contract a
player will have no opportunity to
"touch" his club for advance money.
This will prove a pleasant novelty for
club owners. Of course the players will
obiect. but this Is certainly not the
1 players' year, and their objections will
. count for naught.
There are players, and their names are
I many, who always insist that $500 or
I J1,000 of their salary be paid while the
' snow is on the ground and the active
I season is two or three months removed.
Mr. "Buck" Ewing has always asked for
$1,500 or $2,000 in advance and has never
been refused. - Just how ihe will take to
the new condition of things time alone
I can tell.
I Apropos of "advance money," the an
nouncement that the Brooklyn Club in
tends to make a liberal cut in salaries
attracts more than passing interest.
John Montgomery Ward, haa been in
structed ni, sign, his stars and to sign
them chiMp. He will, find It no easy
task. In thi' first place, the new Brpok
lyn team Is made up of high-salaried
men. ,
Brouthcrs has liberal ideas of his own
finunclttl value as a Jlrst baseman. He
will insist on having big money. There
is that new man , at short field, young
Corcoran, He will ask for $11,500, but
will probably bo, signed for $2,000. Joyce
has already affixed his signature to a
Brooklyn contract. He draws big money.
The outfield is a gilt-edged one, finan
cially speaking. Hub Collins and Tom
Burns are $!1,U00 men, and Mike Griffin
pulled in nearly $5,000 last season.
As to tho pitchers, Haddock and Lovett
draw big salaries. Young Inks and Hiirt
can be signed at reasonable terms, and
Dave Foutz. it signed at all, must' con
sent to a libetal reduction. Caruthers
will be in the same- box. Tom Daly and
Con Dalley will diaw big money, but
Kinslow will sutler a cut in his wages.
There is nothing new to chrouicle in
the camp of the giants. Manager Pow
ers is handicapped by the lack -of money,
and the work of "shaping up" the team
progresses slowly.
The active management of the Cincin
nati Club affairs will be left to an ex
ecutive committee of three Messrs.
Brush, Lloyd and Ellison.
Jack Sharrot started in like a cyclone
last season, but his arm snapped, and the
Giants, who had led the League, dropped
down, down, down. Now they say that
Sharrot is ail ready to jump iu and dupli
cate his good work.
Pittsburg's club house is to be remod
eled and the Btnall rooms converted into
one big, apartment, It is charged that
some ofithe players used one of the rooms
for beer' storage when the manager
wasn't about last season.
WILLIAM AITKENS' DEATH.
Bald that a 13-year-old Trentou Hoy
Committed Suicide.
Tbenton, N. J., Fib. 15. William
Aitkins, a boy only 18 years of age, com
mitted suicide last night.
He resided with his parents at 31 Lam
berton street, and while ills mother was
gettiug supper he went up-stalrs and,
taking' a scarf and a piece of rope, ho
tied them' together and fastened one end
to a clothes hook on the wull and the
other about his neck.
He then jumped front his bed aud was
strangled to death. His parents incline
to tho belief that he was playing at
trapeze performance and became entan
gled about the neck.
The nuthoritloBjbelleve it to be a caso
of premeditHetd suicide. No cause is
assigned, howover, except that tho boy
was of a romantic turn of mind,
