The bosses were notified of the proposed movement a month ago, bat nothing was done about the matter until it went into force today. Whether the bosses will take the men back on these terms is an open question. The men say they simply want the same hours as the masons employed on the same jobs. The carpenters union will ask the city to let the men work nine hours. and the White House to urge the selection of delegates familiar with the subjects to be discussed.
At neither places had he been asked any questions, accordingly bad made no individual recommendations-Mr. Hoar eulogized T. Jefferson Cool-idge, the Massachusetts delegate, as a man of ability, and an author of note. "And yet," interrupted Mr. more fit for a place on the delegation than the Senator Hoar himself." Continuing he said there could be no objection to the persons selected on the score of ability.
They simply were not acquainted with the subject in hand, or not in sympathy with some of the object desired to accomplish. He. said William PIckney Whyte was opposed to paying subsidies to ocean steamship lines, being interested in the operations of tbe clipper ships trading with South American countries. The report of the committee went over until tomorrow without action by general consent, and no formal motion or objection was entered. Shorter Honrs and Better Wages Many Hen Ont.

Mxddlxbckt, April 1. The annual exhibition and shearing of rheep under the auspices of the Vermont Merino Sheep Shearing Association, began at the sheep house on the fair grounds here today. These shearings were formerly for some years a feature of great Interest and benefit to the sheep dealers of the stale, but for two or three years past have been bat slimly attended, owing to the depression In the sheep-raising and wool-growing industries. So great Indeed was the depression and lack of confidence, that no public shearing was held at all last spring. This year, however, the Presldeet of the association, Edgar N.
Blssell of East Shore ham, set to work to see what could be done toward reviving the public shearings and he has worked incessantly to arouse an interest among tbe wool-growers and reduce them to bring eut their sheep. What will be the measure of success attained by his effort, it will take another day to telL President BUseil was on hand bright and early this morning, doing everything In his power to make this years meeting a success. In consequence of the wretched condition of the roads the sheep came In slowly today. Up to noon but a few had arrived at the sheep house, but this afternoon they began to come in in considerable numbers and the pens filled up quite rapidly. More are on the road and will get here tonight and tomorrow the prospect is that by noon tomorrow pretty much all the available space will be occupied.
The work of shearing the sheep was begun this afternoon, but only on a small scale. Tuesday and Wednesday the click of the shears will be heard on every sidf, and the fleeces will then fall off with great rapidity The big sheep-house has been thoroughly cleansed and put in shape for the work. It Is well warmed and comfortable, and neither the sheep, their owners nor the spectators can find any fault in that reepecL Although this was only the first day and the work done was merely preliminary, a considerable number of people visited the sheep-house from time to time during the day and examined the sheep with much appearance of interest. THE RAILROAD TORN UP. Iatorestins Stmcalo Between ex-Coagisss man Burleigh and a Transportation Co.
Much excitement has been occasioned in Whitehall by the difficulty between Robert II. Cooke, president of the New York and Canada Transportation Com pany, and the Hon. H. G. Burleigh.
Mr. Cooke, for his company, leased a piece of Mr. Burleigh's land. Below the leased property is the Whitehall Lumber Company's mill. Mr.
Burleigh some time ago, it is alleged, contrary to Mr. Cooke's orders, laid a sidetrack from the railroad to his mill across the leased land, and. much to Mr. Cooke's annoyance, ths track was laid so close to his office win dows as to leave him in comparative darkness when cars were run down to the mill. Things seemed to hsve reached a climax waen Mr.
Burleigh organized his new transportation company recently, and on batnrday morning, between 1 and 4 o'clock, when Mr. Burleigh was out of town, about forty men tore up the ex-Congressman's railroad that was on tbe leased land and carried it off and piled it op on his property. The transportation company then moved their coal scales over to where the track was. Mr. Burleigh declares the track will go down azain, and Mr.
Cooke sajs it will not, or If it does, he will take it up again. There is a shed close by and Mr. Cooke says tbe track must go behind it, and Mr. Burleigh wants it in front of it and close to Mr. Cooke's windows.
The outcome is eagerly looked for by the townspeople. It is said that the track will be replaced. I KNIOHTS TEMPLAR CONOLAVC WAsimraTox, April 1.

announced to her that she was queen of England. It will be remembered Sir Georgo Ilayter'a picture has commemorated it that upon the occasion the Princess Victoria appeared in the scantiest of attire a mere robe de nuit, with a shawl hastily flung over it.
