The CohOes Strike-NO Compromise Yet
 The Operatives Showing Signs of
 Weakening-The Feeling Against
 NIurrsy-Exciling Times Antfci ated
 To-day.
 CoHoEs, April 2.-No compromise has as yet been reached between the Harmony Com pany and their striking spinners. Two con- mittees have waited upon tho company since yesterday, but were unable to make any settle ment. The alaority with which the strikers obey the summons to go to the office and the number of times they go of their own accord is taken as 8 sign of weakness by many. Five thousand looms are running to-day, the same number as yesterday. No more weayers will be allowed to go in until the difficulty with the spinners is settled. It is impossible to keep filling enough ahead to employ any more than the present force. The report that Robert Johnson, general manager of the mills, is in Canada making arrangements for the inporta- ton of help is not given much crsdencs, as thinking people are generally of opinion that the appearance in the city of large number of strangers to take the place of the strikers would necossitate calling out the militia, be fatal to the interests of the city and also be in direct conflict with the policy of the compa- ny. However, hIr. Johnson is in Canada, and is expected home tomorrow. The feeling against Overseer Murray on the part Of the spinners has not abated any, and noth- ing but his discharge will satisfy them The company in reply simply reiterate their former statement that Murray will not be dis charged under any circumstances The fol- lowing was found on the step at the parochial residence attached to St. Agnes church this afternoon:
 Notice. Your prayers gre requested for the repose of the soul of Dennis Murray. May God have mercy on his soul. He WAS struck by the union engina on the operative railroad. Dated April 2d, 1880.
 It ig not known who placed the notice there, but it is undoubtedly the work of the spinners. In an interview with the Daily News this afternoon Murray said he IS at 8 loss to know why there is such feeling against him. He has been in the employ of the con- pany for sixteen years and thinks it strange that the spipners, most of whom have grown up under him, should not discover until this late day that he is tyrannical. He says that he would leave tho company wsre 1t not that he has character to sustain, and proposes to retain his good name at all hazards. He is willing to submit his case to arbitration and abide by the decision rendered, feeling that he will come of victorious and untarnshed. ne ls hIso cersalu Lnat mofs lnAn tWo-Lulrus of the spinners would corroborate this state- ment were 1t not for the fear of being booted by the union men, uo exhibited watch given him by tho spinners in No. mill and several letters of recommendation from Fall River, Lawrence and other places.
 Editor Mcdonnell will arrive tomorrow and will be received by large delegation. An exciting day is anticipated. A procession headed by band will parade through the city, displaying banners, flags, transparencies, etc. Two large meetings will be held and the speakers will be, besides Mcdonnell, Brown, ''the shoemaker orator" of Albany, and Will Hams, the Greenback orator. number of French families arrived in the city today but so far no disturbance has occurred.
