DECISION AGAINST VERNER.
Patnrson, New Jersey, wa In the
hands of a mob Wednesday, and as a
result of the riots nine persons were
shot and two, at least, will die. Mills
were wrecked with atones and bullets
by the striking silk helpers, or roughs
acting for II. em. The Indications are
that thn riot was the result of a pre
arranged plan to Involve tho would-be
peaceful element In the affair from the
start. Among the leaders was a man
named McQueen and another nnmed
(lallenno, the former an Kngllahmnn
and the latter an Italian. Others,
ageuls of anarchist circles, had also
boon quietly fanning the (lames, (lal
lenno Wednesday morning gnthored a
mob about lilm. Into It rushed the
Kalians and then thn other foreigners,
and n moment later the mob swept
down llelmont avenue. Several mem
bers of tho llroup of Hxlstence, com
iiulcs of llicHi l, tho aHsnsslii of King
Humbert, witli (Inlleano nt their head,
led the mot) on. They attacked the
Columbia mill: then In turn I la in ford
liros.' mill, the Augusta. Hern tho
nml) found themselves face to face
with the women of tho mill, led by
Mrs. Parker, determined to nlnnd their
ground. The women wero thrust
uslde anil driven out of the mill amid
thp most foul nlniHcH. A single po
liceman on guard here faced the mob
nud used I Ih revolver. One Italian
received n bullet which penetrated his
liiiigs. The mob returned the lire, and
over Kill shotn wero exchanged. Mayor
llencbclirr called out tho firemen to
aid the police. The police and fire
men would scntter the crowds, but
they would eome together at other
ixilnts. Shooting continued through
out the day. From time to time
wounded had been earrlril to the hos
pitals. ttrsldcH those whoso nnnies
ran be given it Is certain many more
were hurt. The anarchists wlio
seemed to be In command were openly
threatening Hint n policeman's life
would pay for ench wounded rioter.
Thursday the leaders of tho mob
disappeared. Lacking a leader and
replug out of the heavy rain of the
nrly day, the rioters of Wednesday
hi nothing when a majority of tho
mills they closed by their vlolcnru re
sumed work. The police were given
rders to shoot straight If they
should huvo another encounter with
he rioters, and the mayor had copies
tbo riot act distributed, (lov.
Murphy ordered a part of the FlrBt
eglmeiit ol Infantry and the entire
Irsl troop of cavulry to Pnterson to
reserve order. All but three of tho
Ilk mills In Hudson county, N. J.,
nvo closed down. About 13.0(10
bauds are out of employment. The
majority of the proprietors of the silk
manufacturing estiibllshments, fear-
n g an outbreak like that In Pnterson,
eclded to close down indefinitely.
Gen. Corbln tins received and made
public thp report of ('apt. Hugh J.
(iallaghnr, the commissary offlcpr who
went on tho Dlxln to tho relief of the
sufferers from tho volcanic eruption
In the West Indies, Capt, Gallagher
says ho employed 118 natives of St.
Vincent for two days In unloading
stores, and that the money was very
acceptable to the refugees. He pays
a high compliment to the sailors ot
the Dixie. "The atores were well se
lected, and met tho nerdB of the peo
plo," says tho report. "Ity the de
struction of St. Plere, Martinique, the
great storehouse and sourer of sup
plies of tho Island was lost, conse
quently many of the necessaries of
life were not available for the people,
and nothing could have been oppor
tune than the arrival or thn Dixie,
Tho wants or tho needy people were
promptly and efficiently relieved, and
on all sides I henrd the people mur
mur their blessings on tho American
government for sending asRlstanre to
them in this emergency. Tho same
can lie said of St. Vincent, where,
perhaps, there were more people
thrown upon the public, because many
In the area or devastation escaped
with their lives, while but few es
caped at St Pierre."

BUY AMERICAN GOODS.
Britons So Loyal to Their Own That
They Must Have Strong In
ducements to Import
Talis MAHKBTB,
Frederick W. Kmery, chief of the
bureau of foreign commerce, has made
public an extract from "Commercial
Relations for 1901," showing thn statn
ol trade relations with Great itrltaln.
"Most "noticeable, perhaps, of all pre
vailing trade condlth lis In Knglaml,"
snys Consul H. (,. McFurland, of Not
tingham, "Is the nervous antagonism
agalnnt foreign goods which has
sprung up among the Itrltlsh people.
There has long been prejudice against
tiormnii products, but the recent enor
mous growth of American trade In all
branches has forced Itself upon thn
attention of llrltlsti newspapers, man
ufacturer and tbo public generally.
Tbo Itrltlsh people are nothing, If not
Ityal, and they Inherit the belief that
a llrltlsh trademark Is a guarantee of
quullty, for which tbry have some rea
son. There is a disinclination to pur
chase American or German wares un
less, by reason ot novelty of design
oi economy, the taller appeal Irresisti
bly. Many Hues of goods are now sold
without comment, which one or two
years ugo were advertised as of Amer
ican make or 'American style.' The
Diamond Mutch Company parades lu
goods under the old Kngllsh mime ot
Lryant .May; tho American Tj
bncco Company rails Itself tho Eng.
Ilsb Tobacco Company, and adver
tihcs lit goods as made In Knglund by
Prltlsh workmen: the proprietary
medicines which were first Introduced
as American discoveries now blot
from their advertisements everything
except method, which might Identify
them ni Imporliilliins from the United
States. Hut despite nil prejudice, anil
solely because of merit nud cheapness,
American trade In every lino con
tinues to develop. That It might dou
ble or quadruple at a bound If our
exiMirters would only study nnd run-
irm to the peculiarities of Great
;rltalii, still goes without repeating."

ot his gallantry at St. Pierre, Mar

England, reviewing the report ot the
court ot inquiry held on the officers of
the cruiser Chicago who were arrested
while ashore at Venice, Italy, prac
tically exonerates the defendanta, but
censurea Capt. Dayton, ot the Chicago,
and United States Consul Henry
Johnston for not taking the proper
steps to secure the rights ot the Im
prisoned men.
R. O. Dun It Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: Trade at the cast Is quiet,
owing to tho advancing season, and
the bad effect of prolonged labor con
troversies Is being felt In certain
lines. Reports from the interior and"
the far west are more encouraging,
bountiful harvests being expected,
while thn light stocks carried over
from the previous season assure
profitable prices. Tho best lndicatloo
of continued prosperity Is the fart
that quotatlona do not recede, even
In the linea where at present there Is
enly a moderate degree of activity.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for June increased 3.9 per cent over
1900. Uncertainty regarding their
ability to secure pig iron at reasona
ble prices Is making producera of
steel cautloua In accepting contracts
that call for delivery at even remote
dates. Raw material is undoubtedly
in light supply, and the anthracite
coal atrlke has suspended work at a
Tiumber of furnacea. Coke production
i attaining new records each week
in the endeavor to supply all require
ments, and better railway facilities
are making unprecedented shipments
from the Connellsville region. In cer
tain lines of finished ateel products
the addition of new plants to the pro
ductive capacity has had a oercepti-
ble influence on prices. Introducing
more competition. This factor is felt
in only a few divisions, however, and
in all heavy line, notably rails and
structural material, orders run far
into next year. Quiet condition pre
vailed in Eastern drygooda and foot
wear markets. A stronger silver mar
ket has revived purchases for export
to China, although, like the home
trade, this Is still on a moderate scale.
Shoo shops in New England have
more orders, yet most factories only
operate part time, and aome are en
tirely Idle. Leather is dull and for
eign dry goods weaker. Lack of A
rain In the aouthwest la the only ser
lously unfavorablo crop Indication on
the .week, while exceptionally encour-)
aging reports are received from most
points. Domestic grain makes good
progress, but bad news has been re
ceived from abroad and the outlook is
favorable for large exports. Failures
for the week numbered 194 in the
United States, against lit 3 last year,
and 19 In Canada, against J4 a year
ago.
Bradstreets says:" The scarcity
of pig iron Is causing a no
ticeable stiffening In prices. Struc
tural material and bar Iron are
atrong, but wire and aheets are drag
ging, and some tin plate mills will
rhut down shortly. An order tor 28.
000 tuna of ateel rails for South
Africa for delivery thia year has been
refuaed because ot orders ahead pre
venting delivery. Wheat, including
flour, exports (or the week, aggregate
3.860,434 bushels, against 1,410,314
bushels last week and 5,530,831 bush
