SIIOI'H I'LASTKHIK WITH Mill. Collar ilrl in tho Conn rurtorjr Strike AgitliKt Starrlilnii Maehliir. Tiioy, X. Y., .Ian. 1.1. Six hundred mgry collar girls and two or three tiundrcd nifn and boys, employes at tho big factory of Clutt, Coon & Co., ongregatcd in front of that building, threatening vengeance- on the firm and )n the employes who would not join their ranks. The cause of the outbreak was the substitu tion of starching ina-hines each of which may throw six or eight rirls out of employment Threatening imprecations were hurled at the pro prietors and "scabs," as operators of the machines were stigmatize I. Some impulsive iniss threw u handful of mud at the building. This was the signal for a general fu ilado. In less time than it takes to relate it the handsome trio of shops was fairly plastered up to the second story. The entire police reserve was t alio I out. This did not frighten the girls in the least. For over an hot r a scene of the greatest excitement prevailed. Peiv pie from all parts of the city hurried to tho spot, and in a short time there wore nearly ",000 within a single block. The city haU w as packed with girls. As each of tin lea lers finished her short but denunciatory speech she was cheered. Speeches were made lv Harry Lloyd, of tho lloston Amalgamated Prother hood of Carpenters and Joiners: Daniel Harris, of New York, president i f the state branch of the Federation of Labor: S. Barene, of tho Brooklyn Cen tral Labor union, and Koscoe II. Bar- num. of tho Typographical union. It is extremely probable that a general strike among the 10.000 collar girls of Troy will result unless the now starch ing machines are removed A Fatal Culllmou la liU-ago. Chicago, Jan. l.

OlfOWINU liKAVK. Chilian War lalk KMtoablmi-Activity In Making Mar MaterUL Washington, Jan. 15. The Chilian war ta'.k has been renewed with re doubled vigor and appearances would indicate that som. -tiling serious is going to happen. The old monitors which have been peacefully rusting in the James river just below ' Richmond have been ordered t Ports mouth, a., for retituriij with i ev funs, engines and all the adjunct of mo Icrn v. a:-. At the Washington navy yard, vh;:e they are no-.v work ing night and day casting shells and orging big guns, the gentries have been doubled aDd visitors are excluded. This is an extreme measure and it is the first time sim e the war that the order has been Ls.s ;ed. It comes straight from theabinet that President. Han U jIi'-s programme, approved by Seere'.ary Iiiaiii'. is to nd a special message to congress of the hili in atTair January 'il. relating the situation ;in 1 asking authority to ssue an n'tiinttttim: "Apologi.i and pay up or light. J le-re will be no hesitation on the part of congress. Au thority will he issued and the president will fix the 1im- limit on Chili at four teen days. She must accede to Amer ican demands within that time or take the consequences. The feeling here on the part of men who have traveled in South America and who assume to know somethitig of the Chilian tem per is that in th-i event of an ulti matum Chili wr.uh! not await the ex piration of any peri d named by the I'nited States, but attack anything American atlo.it r ashore that might chance to be in sight. The explanation of time to be given is that the rv.-sident has a streak of sentiment in his makeup and will give the llaltiiiioro a chance t return to Chilian waters and open the ball. This, advices would show, the men and of ficers aboard the lhiltimoro are in no wise loath to do. Then' is extraordinary activity in the Watervliet arsiint government ""nn foundry. Instructions have lcou re ived to rush a'l orders for big guns and w aste no time on the final polish or fancy titiislnng torches, thirteen eight-inch guns are now b'ing finished with the utmost speed and a large num ber of datling puns are under way.

Second Kedistricting the repre sentative districts of tiie state as re quired by the constitution of Missouri.

For four hours a fierce warfare of debate waged in the house yesterday over the proposition of Mr. iiolman, chairman of the appropri ation committee, and when adjourn ment was taken ir. the afternoon Mr. Holiinii had ro far receded from the strict fpirit of his resolution as t ask that the previous question he reconsid ered, in order that he might consider the advisability of accepting an amend ment modifying the sweeping declara tion of the second clans? cf the resolu tion. As the resolution at present reads it is generally interpreted as presenting an inseparable bar, not only to steam ship subsidies, h it also to the sugar bounty, the Nicaragua canal, the world's fair loan, the improvement of rivers and harbors, appropriations for public buildings throughout the union nd appropriati mis for Indian depreda tions an 1 adjudicated cases from the court of claims.

In former years the same proposition has been twice before t-.is house, and pent'emen upon the other side of the house as well as upon this have deemed those propositions in former years appropriate expres sions of the sentiments and purposes of the hieise, tending in some degree to indicate the poliev to be pursued. 1 wish to call the attention of the house to the following resolution submitted by myself December IS, 175. at the open ing of the Fortv-fonrth. congress and adopted by the ho ise: "Resolved. That in the judgment of this house, in the present condition of the financial af fairs of tho government, no subsidies in money, bonds, public lands, indorse ments, or bv pledge of the public cred it, should t.e granted by congress to associations or corporations engaged or proposing to engage in public or private enterprises; an 1 that all appropria tions from the public treasury ought to to be limited at this time to sueh amounts only as shad be imperatively demanded by the public service.

"Tho resolution which is under dis cussion," said Mr. Henderson, i f Iowa, in opening the discussion of the repub lican sule. is not in language or spirit the same as the resolution which the gentleman fro.n Indiana has had read and which were passed bv former hott es. In those reo!uti is t. e finan cial condition of the country was ex pressly referred to w ith regar 1 to the declarati n as to bount ies and subsidies. At that time the government was under a heavy and oppressive load of debt Under republican management the gov ernment is getting rtd of the mortgage, in ttie reso.unon o: tr.e xormer con gresses the term public service is used. In the resolution before the bouse it is departmental service. It referred only to department work. Under this reso lution n t a private pension bill could i be put through and nothing in the j nature of public works could be enter ' tamed." Continuing. Mr. Henderson inquired what was the : -ai object of thi pend ! ing reso'uli-Mi. Heun lerstoit it was ' suga-. Sneaking lor himself and no : one else, he wo.iid remark that if all the gentletn?n r :i the other side w anted to cancel the Voar.tv vi sugar he might le found v.. ting wit s thi.m. He then declared that it was aimed really at the Russian rc'ief plan Mr. Henderson then turned his atten tion t the speech mad two days ago . bv Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, relative 1 to the financial condition of the coun- try. The gentleman sneered at the secretary of the treasury for changing the debt statement so as to make the subsidiary coin appear as part of the assets. When the secretary adopted that plan he readopted the plan pur sued until President Cleveland changed it. The gentle man had stated that the receipts for the first half of the pres ent fiscal year fell short of the expendi tures SJTU.OO0. He i Mr. Henderson) had asked for information on the p dnt from the treasury department and had Wen informed that the revenues for that period amounted to $1T4.14:,000 and the expendit ures to Slo7.043,00a In answering Mr Henderson, Mr. Ikx-kery, of Missouri, sail that the ag gregate appropriation of U f tho lust con- gross i accurat dollar co: gres y huown as the biluon a us without a parallel or precedent in the history of the coun try, l'nbli' afeifi i t the stupend ous appropr atio s of t.at congress had been s j freuncnti c. aliengeil that the poop'c had come ti cimnect the term biilion" congress with the Fifty-tirst congress.
