EXECUTIVE MANSION, Feb. 8, 1876.
CAUCUS IN REFERENCE TO THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.
After the adjournment OF the Senate to-day the
republican Senators held a caucus TO consider the
Presidents Message on the subject OF Arkansas
affairs. There was not harmonious action, some
OF the Senators being reluctant to commit them
selves before they have had time to examine the
documents, which have not yet been printed.
The Arkansas senators were anxious for as
prompt action as the State OF the public business
would permit, ana desired the matter to be sent
to the Committee ON Privileges and Elections for
an early report. The matter will take that drec-
ton. The opinion obtains among republican
members OF the House that, apart from Whatever
the Senate MAY do. the House viii support the ro.

FALL RIVER MILLS STRIKE,

EXPECTED COLLAPSE OF THE wEAvERs'
sTRIKE-woRK TO BE RESUMED IN A FEW
DAYs-NcENpIARx SCHEMES.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. g. 1875.
The days OF the Paris Commune seem to be re.
vlved in this quiet New England manufacturing
town. The strike OF the operatives In three mills
seems 10 be uppermost In every one's mind. To-
day opened with great deal OF excitement
among the operatives now on strike from the an
nouncement that the Merchants Mills would re-
sumo operations this morning, ana that 1t
would show that the strike was in reality farce
The announcement OF this resumption brought to-
gether at noontime q large number OF strikers.
The operatives who were at work during the day
remained in the mill during dinner hour On &C.
count OF the crowd Of strikers outside ut TO-
night, when they left Tor their respective homes,
they were met by crowd OF youths and women
with yells and misses. No violence was attempted.
The police were ON hand and the course pur-
sued by the strikers has received denunclaIory
opinions from all law-abiding citizens.
THE FLINT MILLS.
This afternoon the operatives OF the Flint Mills
circulars setting forth the limit of prices they
would adhere TO. and the whole force OF he mill
stopped work; but before leaving the mill they
resolved to return to work tomorrow at twenty
Jour cents per cut TONIGHT, wnen the help Of the
Merchants Mills lett OF work. about 400 strikers
assembled before the doors OF the mill to meet
those who went to work this morning. The
semblage, as whole, consisted OF boys and
ta.ives OF the operatives. The leaders OF this
movement have used all kinds or incendiary
schemes to keep the working masses on q strike,
and upon the whole are doing everything TO pro-
mote their own personal gain. Some so-called
representatives OF the laboring masses here are
pushing themselves forward IOr seli-lnterest, en-
deavOrlng to mislead the real laoOring masses-so
much so as 10 bring out expressions or c0ndemna-
ton from all law. abiding citlzens.
THE STRIKE A FOLLY.
The meetings Friday and Saturday evenings
were famed by the sO-caled leaders and incen-
diaries to create continued diSsenstOns; but the
proceedings today fully demonstrate thar the
strike Is folly and the backbone Is broken. Upon
the whole the stOppage OF the mills will only be
Tor lew days longer. The strike promises an
early collapse, and those VINO are the leaders VIII
be dispensed with ana the mills resume work at
M distant day.
