AN EFFORT TO COMPROMISE WITH TUE
STRIKERS.

AN EFFORT TO COMPROMISE WITH TUE
sTRTKERs.
LONDON May lS.-The following is the
text of the cotton masters resolution at
Manchester yesterday:
This committee, having carefully con-
sidered the proposal made by Alderman
Pickup on behalf of the operatives, resolve
to arrange for the mills being reopencd inn
mediately. The weavers, winders, Wrappers,
sizers, boomers, etc, connected with the
weaving department and the spinning and
card room hands throughout the strike dis
trict agree to return to work at u reduction
OF 10 per cent, and this committee will be
prepared to meet the operatives in three
months, or at any Other time, in conformity
with the usual mode of procedure"
The papers carefully point out that it is
the operatives, not the masters. who sur
render, and that the meaning of the reso-
luton is tlat if the operatives return TO
work at the reduction now they will receive
better wages AS soon rs the employers feel
that their trade can afford il, and not
sooner.
Colonel Raynsford Jackson, chairman Of
the masters association, whose residence at
Blackburn the mob burned and whose mills
they attempted to destroy, presided, and the
committee, before taking the foregoing ac-
ton, adopted II resolution expressing deep
sympathy with him and An adherence OF
the wonton destruction of his property.
COMPROMISE IMPOSSIBLE.

orators repudiated Alderman Pickop's set

compromise is impossible.

lice being unable TO preserve order"
OPPOSITION To HARTISGTONs RESOLUTION.
LONDON, May lS.-The government will
meet Lord Iatngton's re, uton in III,
house of commons Monday, that no force
he raised or kept by the crown in time of
peace save within India without the sane
tion OF parliament, with the following
amendment: This house being of the
opinion that the constitutional control of
parliament over raising the employment of
the military forces of the crown is fully Sc
cured by the provisions of law and by the
undoubted power of this house to grant or
refuse supplies, considers it unnecessary
and ineypedient 10 affirm the resolution
tending to weaken the hands of her males
tvs government in the present state of for
cign affairs"
Notice by the colonial secretary in the
house last evening that this amendment
would be submitted was received with loud
and prolonged cheering by the Conserva-
tivcs.

NOAH STRATTON'S MONEY.
What Became Of Twenty-fOur Hun
dred Dollars?


Early in the spring Of 1867 Mr.. Noah stratton, a
farmer residing near Sixteen Mile Stand, on the
Montgomery Pike. in this county, sold his fam for
8. .n01 More than half the money thus received
he applied to paying off his debts, and the balance
some So, 400, was concealed in the bed upon which
Mr. and Mrs. Stratton slept where it remained
until late in the fall. One morning in October as
Mrs. Stratton was preparing to drive to this city,
her husband, who was an invalid, decided to accom-
pany her and place the money in some secure
place as the family were naturally uneasy
with such an amount about the house.
They came to town, and while Mrs. Stratton
waited at the corner of Fifth and Vine streets her
husband carried the package OF money off for
deposit He returned in short time without it,
and as he was a man of a taciturn nature, his wife
did not ask him what disposition he had made of
it, nor did he volunteer to tell her any more than
that they now had it where they could get it when
they desired.
They returned home, and in a few weeks STRAIT
ton, who had been continually growing more
feeble, died. After the burial search was made
among his papers with the expectation of finding
a receipt of some kind to show the whereabouts of
the money but it was not found. Subsequent in
quiries among his acquaintance in this city were
Just az frutless and from that day to this the Gus
| todian OF the widows money has remained mys-
terry 1t was not stolen 1t was not given away; il
was not lost. Who has it, or who can furnish q
| clue to it?
| Mrs Stratton is still living and has always en-.
tertained hopes that her little fortune would some
day find its way back to her, and serve 10 cheer
and comfort her In her old age
