Reports From New England, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis All Agree. Boston, April 2S.—According to tlio union officers and business agents of workingmen’s organizations, the in dustrial situation in New Kngland will be marked by fewer contentions be tween capital and labor than for many years. In the building trades several small strikes are threatened in a num ber of cities, but in Boston there promises to be little suspension of work in any branch of the industry. Tlte building laborers’ uhibns, the members of which are unskilled, have requested new wage rates in Boston and vicinity. It is understood that prospects for a settlement without a strike are favorable. The painters of eastern Massachusetts are endeavoring to establish a uniform wage of $:i a day minimum in metropolitan Boston, but there will be no strike on May 1, as the wage question will not be ad justed until later. The boilermakers of Boston and vicinity, have been granted a 7 V. per cent, increase to take effect Wednesday, and although the men, of whom there are several thous ands, asked for a 10 per cent, advance, they have accepted the rate offered. Tlie most serious condition existing in Boston is due to the strike a. month ago of teamsters. The strike is still unsettled, in Xew England at large there are several causes for unrest in cotton mills and it is reported that au attempt will be made to advance wages in Kail River and other places some time during next month, in Milford. Mass., tlie granite cutters are out for a 1 \v working agreement, and an f fort is being made to have Governor Guild try to settle the trouble. Tile steam titters employed at the Readville shops of the New York, New Haven A- Hartford Railroad at a meet ing today refused the offer of the road to pay a bonus for certain kinds of work, and it committee as well as one representing the blacksmiths, boiler makers and car workers will go to New Haven Wednesday to meet the officials of tlie road. CHICAGO. Relations Never So Harmonious and Hardly a Cioud on the Horizon. Chicago, April 28.—-The relations tween employei and employe were probably never so harmonious in Chi cago as they are now. In the past, on May 1 there have usually been diffcr erees between the labor unions ami the employers in Chieaeo. but this year there is scarcely a cloud on the indus trial horizon. livery union in the building industry, with the exception of the structural iron workers, have renewed eontr.iets with employers, and the iron workers expect to resit'll a settlement without a strike. Machinists have demanded an inerease of 2.”> cents a day in wages, but the indications are that there will practically be no trouble in putting the new schedule into effect. Most of the larger firms in the city have signified a willingness to grant the increase, and if any strikes are called May 1st they will be continued to individual firms. The brick makers are now holding con ferences with their employers and will probably reach a settlement next week. NEW YORK. No Apprehension of Serious Trouble With the Laboring Men. New York. April 28.—'The opening of the out-of-door construction season finds X('\v York, both city and state, without apprehension of serious labor troubles. In the building trades es pecially prosperous and reassuring conditions prevail. There is a large and well met demand for both skilled and unskilled labor, due to the exten sive private construction projects now under way and the tunnels, railway terminals and other undertakings of a public or quasi-public nature. This contentment is generally reflected in the manufacturing and industrial cen ters and beyond a few localized strikes the labor situation is regarded as be ing better than for many years. GOOD AT ST. LOUIS. Labor Conditions Better Than They Have Been In Many Years. St. Louis. April 28.—Employes and labor leaders of St. Louis and the Southwest report labor conditions bet ter for May first, this year than for many years past. Practically all wage scales in St. Louis and the surrounding territory for -;o miles are signed. In St. Louis alone this includes 120,000 union men. The unions allied with tin Building Trades i'>uneil here are all signed for the year with the exception of a very few men employed in small shops. There are about 40,000 nten employed in these unions. Other branches of trade show simi lar good conditions. The brewery workers who were on strike a few 1 weeks ago have now signed. Employ ers and labor leaders say there will be nothing this year in local circles to hinder great building activity. PITTSBURG. New Scales Signed and Employes Are Apparently Satisfied. Pittsburg, April "S.—May day in Pittsburg- and vicinity is expected t pass off with loss labor disputes t. in previous years. Heretofore consid erable difficulty has been experienced between the workmen and building trades, but this year scales have been signed and the men are apparently satisfied. With tin* exception f the machinists about ."un of whom are already on strike, it is believed all the wage scales ill be amicably adjusted. The ma chinists are striking for an increase of wages and shorter hours. ELOODSHED AT CLEVELAND. SCO Men and Women Attack Strike Breakers—One Man May Die. Cleveland, O., April SS.—First blood was shod late yesterday in the trouble between the American Shipbuilding Co. and its striking employes.

Unveiling of McClellen Statue Will Be the Feature. Reunion to Be a Noteable One, Lasting Four Days. Washington. April 2S.—The most in teresting f ur. t the "7th annual re union of t'. S, of the Army of the I»oto:u.ie ties v.•vi hi lie the un veiling of May 2 of tl:e heroic bronze statue of General George If. McClellan, who was the organizer and first com mander of the Army of the Potomac. The statue occupies a prominent posi tion in tiie northwestern section of tile city at the intersection of Connecticut avenue and Columbia road. President Roosevelt is to make the principal speech and addresses will also be made by General Sickles, Howard and Dodge. A feature of the exercises will be it brief history of the statue, which is the work of Frederick MacMonnies, the American sculptor, residing in Paris, by General Horatio C. King, secretary of the society. About 5000 troops, regulars and militia, will participate in the cere monies. The reunion is to begin on May 1, and will continue four days. On May 2, the veterans are to be re ceived by the President at the White House and there will he a banquet that evening. The statue was exhibited in Mr. MacMonnies' studio in Paris, where it was viewed by the widow of Gen. McClellan, his son. Mayor McClellan of N'ew York and the committee appoint ed by the state department to pass up on it. This committee included Consul General Mason of Paris, who served as captain under General McClellan. Mr. Mason pronounced the figure a striking liikeness of the general, recalling that it .-bowed many of the latter's personal characteristics of manner and dress, such as the old-fashioned sriuare-toed booths, baggy sleeves and slouch hat. This slouch hat as it appeared in the original plaster model, caused consid erable agitation. Some of the general's old comrades of the Army of tlie Po tomac insisted that he always wore the small su vice cap with a peak and the slouch hat was of much later origin. After much discussion, in which the So ciety of the Army of the Potomac took some part, a compromise was arranged by which the “slouch hut” was re moved and the old time peaked cap was put in its place. It is in this form that the bronze figure was finally east. Pc fore being shipped to the United States the statue was exhibited at the National Salon in Paris and was one of tiie most striking features in that great exhibition of sculpture and paint ing.

Bowdoin outclassed their opponents at all stages of the game, arid bad tin* home learn played with more snap it might easily have made tin* .wore much larger than was th«* ease. 'Die visitors scored two of their three] runs in tin* Mrs! inning and their oile r tally was made in tin- sixth. Bowdoin scored four runs in the first, one in the fourth, four in the seventh and on** in the eighth. Tin* Boston men went to bat first O’Kane drew a base on balls and took third on an attempt to catch him in his steal of second. Mansfield was hit try a pitched hall and both men scored later on a timely hit by Sullivan. For Bowdoin drew a base on balls arid after Sianwood had be**n retired on strikes Bower and Files singled, tilling the bases. Ijiwnnce then hit for two hags to left fp-ld and brought in tlie three runs. An error at third of McOade’s drive permitted H:i wr.-a.-e to score. Bowdoin’s run in the fourth came in the nature of a gift. After Harris had missed three ill. catcher missed the third ball and Harris reached first safely, and made 111,• rounds of the 'bases on a si-rie of had error l»\ the visitors.

Lowell Man Wins At Chicago's Open ing Boxing Event. Chicago, April 28.-—The first boxing contest to he given in Chicago for two years look place at tile Chicago A. A. Saturday night. Jimmy Gardner of I.oui-11, Mass., got the decision over Jack Heed of Chicago in a ffix-round hunt. Gardner had the advantage both in reach and cleverness, and landed at will on the Chicago man. At the end of the sixth round the blood was streaming from Reed's nose and month, while (’iardrnr did not have a mark. The card included four pre liminary liouts. SPORTING NOTES. Skillful as was her racquet work. Miss May Sutton met defeat at the hands of N. W. Niles Saturday on the court of the St. Nicholas rink. The initiative of the masculine player sur prised the intuition of the girl from the Pacific coast. Miss Sutton played with a show of vigor that kept her opponent on the jump, but she failed to nnt manenvre him, anil lost the match at 6-4 and 7-a. Two indoor world’s swimming rec ords were broken Saturday night at the Sportsman's show at Pittsburg, Pa., by C. M. Daniels of the N. Y. A. C. In the 110-yard race lie covered the distance in 1 min. G sec., which was four sec onds better than the previous world’s record. He also swam f>0 yards on his back in 35 sec. The former world's record was 3N seconds. Both races were in competition. In a sensational wrestling exhibition in Lewiston Friday night, Wilfred Bar rett of Lewiston defeated Joe Walcott, the "Black Demon” of Boston in straight falls. Barrett won the first fall with scissors and body hold in 18 min. and 20 sec. and the second fall with the scissors and half-Nelson in 10 min utes. Walcott suffered a severe attack of stomach sickness at the close of the first bout and a long wait followed be fore he was able lo finish the exhibi tion. An unsuccessful attempt was made Saturday at Lawley's to launch the three-masted auxiliary yacht Alcyone, the largest schooner yecht ever built in America, owned by H. W. Putnam, Jr., of tiie New York Yacht Club. Owing to the grease on the ways having dried and “set,” it was impossible to start tiie schooner more than a few feet. This was done with jacks, hut after an hour of labor tlie yacht hail been moved only four or five feet, and as the tide was falling, the word was given to de sist. Another attempt will be made at an early date. Interest in the second round of the in ternational amateur court tennis tour nament at London Saturday centered in Jay Gould’s match with K. B. Noel. The lirst set was won by the American 6-4 and lie also took the second set 6-2. Gould won tiie third set 6-3, thus tak ing tiie match with three straight sets. The American entirely outclassed his opponent. Gould has now readied the semi-final, V. II. Pennell, the cham pion of 1!KM, who is regarded as having the best chance against the American, is also left in, having defeated Major Cooper Key, 3 to 2. Al Johnson, with the Augusta New England League teams of 1S95 and 1S!(6 and sold by that club to Louisville in the latter year, is playing second base and captaining the Haverhill team. He is one of the trappiest men in I he business and his old friends here will wish him every success. NATIONAL. Chicago Wins Double header from St. Louis.

Tlie following year he went back to the Athletics. From 1892 to 1897 was with the Philadelphia Nationals. He went to St. I^ouis in 1898 and divid ed the season between St. Hollis anil Cleveland. In 1900 lie signed with Ned Hanlon but the following year lie went to Connie Mark and for five years was one of the most valued members of the Athletie team. He was formerly one of the best catchers in the busi ness, but in late years he has covered third base with unqualified success. In 1905 things broke badly for Cross in Philadelphia and he decided to either seeure his release or retire. In view of liis past great services to the Athletics Manager Mack gave Cross permission to negotiate witli Washing ton, with whom he signed in 19015, on liis own terms. THE REASON WHY. Dr. Marvel Explains Action of Brown Towards Dartmouth. Providence, April 28.—Dr. FYed W. Marvel, supervisor of athletics at Brown University Saturday made a statement concerning tlie action of the Brown Athletic Association in severing athletic relations with Dartmouth. He said that he had been investigat ing the treatment of Brown teams at I Hanover, and that the result of his in vestigations, together with the act of the Dartmouth baseball captain in withdrawing liis team from the field last Wednesday, had led to the radical action taken by Brown. He stated that the Brown basketball i players returned to Providence last winter after a game at Hanover all battered up and expressing complaint of their treatment at Hanover. He said that the Dartmouth team showed an unsportsmanlike attitude in refusing at the last minute to consent to McAdams as a referee at the bas ketball game at Providence last March. Further, he stated, the Brown base ball players endangered their lives in playing at Hanover last year owing to the practice of the track men. who threw hammers and shots upon the field and left hurdles in the way of i tlie players. Dr. Marvell also slated that the Dartmouth baseball players moved j their bench up to the side lines and in structed the batteries throughout the game last spring at Hanover; also that 111" spectators and undergraduates •left the bleachers and crowded the side lines, hooting and jeering at tlie Brown players. Manager Wallace of the Dartmouth baseball team was in Providence yes terday in consultation with Manager Bright of the Brown team, but no de tails of tiie conference were given out. AT THE OLD STAND.

Cony high Ties Score In Ninth by Good Luck and Batting Rally. x Cony Wish and Oak Grove Seminary (staggered through 11 inning* of slow baseball at the Driving park grounds Saturday afternoon, both teams putting up a rather poor exhibition. The ground was w'et and sticky and at time* the ball went completely out of s.ght. Errors were exceedingly numerous, even for the first game of the season, and some ot them were inexcusable. During the earlier innings Clark seemed to have the better of the argument in the box, but in the ninth the local team had a hatting rally which, combined with several bases on halls, sent six men around and tied the score. Neither team could score in the 10th, and the visitors succeeded in getting but or.e man around in the 11th. Conv High got a man around in their half of the lit), and had a man on second and third, with two out, when Edwards, who was coaching on the third base line, ran in with Bickmore to draw a throw and the runner was declared out. It was nearly 7 o’clock and almost im possible to sec the hall, so the game was called. The game was a most. un:iit ^fac tory one to both teams.

YOU have thirty feet of Intestines! What makes food travel through them? i A set of Muscles that line the walls of these Intestines or Bowels. When a piece of Food rubs the walls of the Intestines these Muscles tighten behind it, and thus it starts a hfuscle-wave which drives it through the whole length of the Bowels.
