THE OOTTON MANUFACTURERS, A Large Reduction of Work Determined On—The Production To Be Reduced One-Third. Boston, Mass., Sept. 25, 1874 An adjourned meeting of the cotton manutac- turing interests was heid in Boston to-day, at which about 2,000,000 spindles were represented by the personal attendance of the officers of cor- porations and many more by letter or by a thority given to gentlemen from other cities. The object of the meeting was to hear the report of & of reducing the production of cotton mulls one: third, in order to re-establish the true relation be- tween supply and demand. The committee, in their report, stated that they had a strong convic- tion, confirmed by the general opinion of those engaged in its business, that A LARGE REDUCTION OF WORK is imperatively required in the existing state of things, and they believed that such an opinion will be sufficent to lead all to co-operate in such @re- duction as is calied Jor alike by their several Inter- ests and the general good. They also expressed the opinion that four full working days, ol ten hours each, per week would best promote the imterest of the employed and employers during the continuance of such a reduction, but that there would be many cases in whicha different mode of reaching the same result would be preierred, Each party must be tree to judge as to the duration o1 any reduction which they may make; butyt now scems as if it should con- tunue for at least three months. ‘The report of the committee was accepted, also & proposition recommending the cotton manutac- turers of New England to reduce their product from and after October 1, and tnviting all she man- ufacturers of New Engiana to meet again in Bos- ton on the 28th of October, in order to sake such further action as the state of business may then seem to require, The Manufacturers in Providence=The Reduction Agreed Upon.

Tne Louisiana trouble has hardly subsided before the President is vexed with other questions of amore important and portentions character. It {8 reported to-night tat the Porto Rico annexation story has truly drawn the fire of both Russia and the United States ana was in reality only a part of the scheme of Wismarck to conyulse Europe. Notwithstanding the repeated denials of the State Department that there was no truth in | the asserted aspirations of Germany to secure a foothold in American waters, it 1s known wat Sec- retary Fish, upon the first intimation of the re- port, promptly inquired if there was any founda- tion for it, Now comes | THE STARTLING INTELLIGENCE | that Russia, funy advised of the mtention of Bis- Marck to acquire a foothold in Amertca, and with | the assurance that we will not permit the transfer of colonial possessions in America from one Eu- Topean nation \o another, is prepared to ally with | { the United States in the event that Germany deter, | mines to force her aspirations, The despatches | Of the 3d inst, on the subject or whetner Germany | was to have a depot in the Antilles closed as fol- lows:— In the event that the State Department adopts and adheres to the doctrine aid down in the message of 1869, which 1 have designed as the «Grant doctrine,” it will be construed as a deter- | mination on the part of this government not to allow Germany to have even & depot or naval sta- tion in American waters, THE ACTION OF RUSSIA. Moreover, in sympathizing with the Carlist movement and the refusal on her part to recog- nize Serrano, which fact is duly affirmed by oficial despatches received here to-night, itis regarded as an omen of war, in which the United States will | necessarily be involved unless the broad proposi- tion laid down by President Grant, that European | governments having colonial possessions in American waters can no Jonger transfer them from one Power to another, should be acquiesced in by England, Spain and Denmark. FIRE INSURANCE IN CHICAGO. panies. Bostox, Sept. 25, 1874. The officers of the National Board of Under- writers having stated that the larger foreign and | domestic companies will withdraw their agencies irom Chicago ff the requirements of the Board are not complied with, @ reporter of the 7ravelley made inquiries to-day at the offices of the Boston companies taking risks in Chicago, with THE FOLLOWING RESULT :— Mr. Gould, of the Manufacturers’ Insurance Company, proposed to continue the agency of this company at Chicago and take all risks offered, He believes that each company should have a policy of its own and that its action should be indepen- dent of the position taken by others. Another company could not tell yet what would be done, but thought it would be well for the Boston com- panies interested to consult in the matter, and be- Heved joint action might be advisable, Still an- other company thought that it would be diMcult to tell much about what would be done. As | for ® meeting the central body had taken | definite action and it remained to be seen what the result would be, so far as diferent companies belonging to it are concerned, ‘Lwo other companies have agencies in Chicago, but do not appear to have decided on the course to be pursued, The opinion is entertained by them that some consultation must be had among | Boston offices be‘ore taking definite action. , The Faneuil Hall Insurance Company did not | propose to withdraw their agency irom Chicago, buc to continue business and to charge for risks there what they thought was lair under the circum- stances, making their premiums correspond with any extrarisks. This, they thought, was the true olicy, and would toward Boston aiter tue great | fire. THE OHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT. A Reorganization Proposed—General Shaler’s Advice to be Sought.

The suggestion was readily accepted by the Fire Commissioners, aud ab invitavion will be forwarded immediately to General Shaler. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, Orders and Assignments.

A Young Man Loses His Life While Ex- ercising on the Swing. Asad accident occurred at about nalf-past nine o’clock last night in the rooms of the Young Men’s | Christian Association, corner of Fourth avenue | and Twenty-third street. Charles Somers, aged | twenty, residing at No, 78 Ninth avenue, a mem. ber of tbe institution, entered the gymna- | sium early in the evening and commenced | to exerci: on the various gymnastic | apparatus. Alter a while he went to the swing, which consists of two long ropes fas- | tened to the ceiling, having at their lower ends | iron rings, covered with leather, and began | swinging on them, One of the young men who ) was practising at the same time warned Somers | to be caretul, as he was not an expert at the exer- / cise, and it was dangerous to swing too violently. | Somers had been swinging not more than ten minutes, when he suddenty lost his hold of the rings and fell backward to the floor, & distance of about twelve feet, striking his head a terrible biow, that resounded througnout the hall The inmates of the gymnasium, horror- stricken at tne sight, rushed to his retiel, but found him unconscious. Dr. Guersney was quickly summoned, who, alter eXamination, pronounced him IN IMMINENT DANGER and gave orders for an ambulance to be hastily obtained to take lim to Bellevue Hospital. The | conveyance was soon on hand, but in | less ‘than five minutes after its arrival the unpiortunate young man who had been rapidly sinking, breathed his last. Neither a drop of blood nor serious contusions, strange to say, were visible; and the physician attributed his | death more to the severe shock than to bodily | injuries received, especially as Somers had not ; been tn very good health of Jate months. The | parents of the young man were notified as soon as | it was evident that deith would ensue, and ar- | rived just as he was expiring. In accordance with | their desire the body was removed to their | Tesidence, MIXER—Suddenly, of pneumonia, on Friday, September 25, EVELYN Lovisk, Foungest daughter ot Emily F. and the late Henry Mixer.
