 CoHoEs. March 29.-The feeling on the part
 of the operatives engaged in the strike at the
 Harmony mills to remain out grows ill I strength. Both sides express 8 stronger de-
 termination than at any time since the strike
 commenced, and there is no hope of speedy
 compromise if the feeling, expressed on either side, goes below the surface. large mass meeting was held to-day at o'clock, and an effort was made to reconsider the de- l termination to strike, but without avail, and | the meeting adjourned until 7:3O o'clock this evening. There is great excitement all i through the city and considerable speculation is manifest as to the result of the meeting. The strikers are counseled to give in, as fears are entertained that they cannot stand long siege. J. P. Mcdonnell, of Paterson, is ex pected here on Saturday if the strike contin- ues till then. Public opinion against the strikers continues. The one absorbing ques- ton asked is Where will it end2 Marron, one of the discharged spinnsrs, and another man, while leading a procession with drums were stopped and taken to the police station, but were allowed to go after being advised by the police.
 LATER.-A large mass meeting of the strikers was held in the open air at 7:aO o'clock. Speeches were made by Aaron Will | Hams, of Green Island, and A. B. Valois of this city. Their speeches were of little effect. There are no signs of @ settlement as yet, as both sides are determined.
 The section bosses took their tools and left all l the mills at noon to-day, with one exception, | on account of the discharge of Thomas Brierly, who was discharged on account of | his connection with the union. Tho opera tives are gaining strength, and are bound to | hold out until Murray is discharged. All is | quiet and orderly. No disturbances of any | kind have occurred since the beginning of the | strike. The company say they will not give | in, neither will they listen to any committees from the unions. On the part of the opera tives at work in the Ogden mill, the company threaten lockout if the operatives do not | return to work.
 The Harmony mills are the most extensive cotton manufacturing establishments in the | United States. The mills are equipped with | 275, 900 spindles and 62,000 looms. They | give employment to 5000 operatives, among whom $125, 900 are distributed every four weeks. The Harmony mills have l, 100 tene- ments occupied by their operatives. The un married help are provided for in the con- panys boarding houses. Notices have been served on the former to vacate in thirty days, and the latter have been ejected. | This action has engendered 6 most bitter feeling.
 SteinWay,s Men at their Places.
 NEW YORK, March 29.-The seven hundred | piano makers employed in Steinway's factory | assembled this morning, formed in line and | headed by band of music marched to the | factory. Theodore Steinway met the men and made short address. He said he was 1 very happy to congratulate them on the ter imitation of the strike and urged the men, 1 now that the firm had given them the ad- | vance asked for, to stand together and work i seriously. The men gave three cheers, then went to their work-benches, arranged their | tools and again left the factory and marched to Turtle Bay, where they spent the afternoon | and evening in festivities. The Steinways sent $50 to purchase beer for the men. | Haines Bros. and Grovestein & Fuller have advanced the wages of their men 10 per cent to correspond with the rate of wages paid in the other shops.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Judge Daniels, of the New York Supreme Court, has decided that the claim of the Western Union Tele. graph Company, that they have au exclusive right to the use of any street for telegraph lines, is illegal and without foundation. Judge Daniels to- day rendered his decision in the injunction matter pending between the Vest ern Union and American Union telegraph companies, in which he holds that the Ameri- can Union Telegraph Company, having con- piled with the law as to license, has right to erect it's line through the contested territory of Washington street. between Cedar and Vesey streets, in this city, and that the con- ! struction of such line would not in any man. ner interfere with the right already enjoyed | by the Western Union Company of running | it's lines through that street that \ the injunction granted against the American | Union Telegraph Company restraining them | from erecting line through that street must | be dissolved, but that if the Western Union | Company prefer, as was offered at the hearing | of the case, to have their line higher than | that partly erected by the American Union ! Company, they can take down their present line and erect higher poles and let the Ameri- can Union take the lower line.
