THE BIDDEFORD STRIKE.
An Cneasiness Among the Strikers.

BIppgroRp, June %. A committee of
the strikers waited upon Mr.. Howe, the
agent, again this forenoon, but no settlement
of the difficulty was reached. The Pepper
ell mills remain entirely closed while the
Laeonia has run 100 looms to-day, slight
increase over Yesterday. Reports from the
corporations running one hundred and twenty
mills have been received, showing that on
the average, the operatives are fully as well
paid here as elsewhere. At meeting of the
strikers this evening. II was decided not to
go back but meet again tomorrow night,
when further events are expected. Although
the strikers still hold out, there is growing
feeling of uneasiness among them, and the
strike is liable to cease at any time. Many
of the strikers are still leaving for other
places.

One of the contractors on the California
Southern Railroad is reported to be en-
pioying Indians with satisfactory results.
This is practically new experiment. al
though for more than a century Indian la
Dor has been occasionally resorted TO on
the Pacific Coast. chiefly in agricultural
occupations at points where the services of
white men were not to be obtained. tits.

pertinent. for it may be predicted with a
reasonable degree of assurance that. as a
means of civilizing the Indian. daily and
systematic work for which he is promptly
paid and to the faithful performance of
which he is strictly held, will accomplish
more than treaties and training schools.
Hitherto within the narrow limits which
have prescribed his employment the Indian

robbery is reported at the First National
Bank in this city. This noon small boy
was sent in the cashiers private room, where
he and the President were signing new cur

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
CiarksOm n. Potter Nominated TO Fill
Jacobs Vacancy.

ALBANY, June % The democrats of both
Houses, met in caucus, Wednesday afternoon,
NJ. c. Murphy, presiding.
Assemblyman Benedict then called their
attention to the sudden and unexpected with
drawal of the candidacy of Senator Jacobs,
asked for an explanation.
Senator Jacobs then took the floor and en-
planned that he had been informed that the
Governor would declare all votes cast for
him for United States senator void. He
said he had. at the moment of being informed
of this, determined to withdraw his name
from the canvass. The effect he said of de-
claring his vote void would be election of
some republican candidate who happened to
get a majority of the quorum with the DEM
ocratic vote omitted.
After remarks from Senator Fowler and
Assemblymen Brown, Spinola snd Wells,
Mr.. Browning moved that the roll be called,
and a candidate for the short term vacancy
be informally named. Inquiry was then
made whether Senator Jacobs was candi-
date, or whether his naEIe was withdrawn
Senator Jacobs in response said that he
would leave the question to the caucus. Mr..
Brooks after speaking in the highest terms of
Senator Jacobs. said if he had been present
at the caucus which nominated him, he
would have urged that his nomination under
the constitution, would be an improper
one. He regretted the necessity of making
these remarks, but he thought them called
for under the present circumstances.
The roll was then called with the follow ing

If the report is true that Sir John A.
Macdonald is to be raised to a peerage
and made Governor-General of Canada in
place OF Lord Lorne, the Dominion will
have for the first time a Chief Executive
taken from her own people. The change
may prove an important one in the direction
of complete autonomy. After the Cana
dams have once had a Governor-General
of TIER own they may object to England's
sending over any more of her politicians
or her royal family's connections to adj
minister their affairs. Their next step
may be to insist that they shall have the
same right to choose their Chief Magis-
traie that they now have to select the
members of their Parliament. At all
events. one OF the few remaining bonds
which attach Canada to Great Britain will
he severed as soon AS the practice of send
ing over Englishmen to fill the office OF
