To Cut Down Expenses.

General Manager Within n. of the
Chicago d NorthM estern Road, has ad-
dressed letter to the managers o. oth-
er Western railways suggesting that
conference be held with view to a
more economical management of their
properties. He thinks the several COM
panies should endeavor by uniform ac-
ton to eliminate from their service some
of the expensive features that have
gradually come into existence as an out
growth of sharp competition. This he
believes to be an oppertune time for re-
trenchment, as the great need of all the
Western roads is a reduction of ex-
penses. One feature which he thinks
should be modified is the fast stock
train service between the Missouri
River and Chicago, which is more ex-
pensive than profitable.
Probable April Fool Joke.

from Jay Gould, through Washington
Davis, 3 railroad contractor, stating that
Mr.. Gould was willing tc hand over to the
union 81 900, 600 in gold, with interest
from 1859, ii the Central Labor Union

All Went Down.

The schooner NJ. B. Steadson, of
Providence. arrived at Boston on the
10Th in distress, having been in coils
ion. When twenty-five miles east from
the highlands of Cape Cod the
watch sighted small fishing
schooner, slightly under their lee and
quite close. No light was visible,
and as no other vessel was on
the port tack, trying to cross, the Stead
sons helm was put hard up to round
the strangers stern, but it was too late,
and the vessels came together with such
a crash that some of the men thought
the schooner ad struck bottom and all
hands rushed on deck. Nothing could
be found OF the other vessel after the
collision, and 1t Is believed that she

THE WAIVERS STRIKE.

Further Gains In Lhe Ranks of the
 Strfkers-Ten Thousand Now Out The Strikers Say They Can Stay Out Indefl eflniteIy-Everyth1ng Quiet and
 Orderly.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, March 13.-The third day of the great weavers' strike shows fur
 ther gains in the ranks of the strikers. This morning careful canvass showed less than five hundred looms running at eleven mills.
 The weave-rooms of twenty-three corpora tions were entirely shut down and very few of the five hundred looms running were operated by weavers. Most of them were run by loom fxers and relatives of overseers as has been the case since the beginning of
 the strike and the number of loom fxers who
 were willing to run the looms was less than yesterday in spite of the fact that many
 loom fxers have been discharged for refusing
 to do that work. The strike is practically
 complete.
 King Philip, Granite and the American
 linen mills shut down completely to-day
 throwing out over 2,000 other help in addi-
 tion to the weavers who are on strike. This
 brings the number out of work to over 1O,- 900. Other corporations it is expected will shut down toAmorrow.
 Every member of the weavers' executive cOmmlttee s1gneO an agreement statlnS bueIr willingness that a committee from the weav- CTS meet similar committee from the man. ufaoturers in the presence of the State board of arbitration for the purpose of mediation looking to satisfactory settlement of the existing difficulties. Tomorrow the full board of arbitration will meet and en- deavor to arrange conference between the weavers and manufacturers. If they succeed it will be regarded point gained for the weayerS. as one of the points that has been unsuccessfully contended for by the weavers during the agitation of the past year has been a request for conference on the wage ques- tion, which the manufacturers have steadily refused.
 The strikers maintain that they can stay
 out indefinitely and will be able to force the manufacturers to make concessions. The manufacturers insist that they will not yield. Although ten thousand operatives are idle there has been very little trouble and the crowds which gather at the mills in the mor- ming are usually quiet and orderly.

 son of Iowa Declines tO be First
 Assistant 60 Postmaster General Wanamaker-nTr. Schuyler. First As
 sfstant Secretary of State.

 The confirmation of Walker Blaine was out of the usual order and made by unanimous consent, probably as compliment to his father. The position to which he is ap- pointed is practically that of legal advisor or Flaw afhcer" Of the state department and its incumbent necessarily occupies specially con- 6dential relations with the secretary.

restitution at Panama.

NEW YORK, March 13.-A letter from Panama of the 4th says: Following fast on the floods on the other side, comes the stop page of work on the canal. On some sec- tions work has been partially resumed, but little work is in progress. Merchants are reshipping their merchandise or closing their stores in Colon, and all the mechanics and Iaborers who can leave are doing so.- There is much Restitution and suffering along the line of the canal, and the sooner those un- employed succeed in leaving here the better it will be for them. The corners of the streets of Panama are plastered with hand bills offering free conveyance to Chili for 1 GOO citizens of the United States or Euro- peans who are engineers or laborers. This step is evidently taken in view of the pro posed railroad construction or the possibility of an outbreak in consequence of the recent developments on the southeast coast,

Great Excitement i'm Lower Californ

Great Excitement I'm Lower California.
 Los ANGELES, Cal, March 13.-Great ex- citement existed in the Lower California mining camps last night, and thousands of desperate gold hunters are breathing venge- ance against the International company of English capitalists, whose agents lay claim to the mines and are trying to shut out Ameri- cans and others.
 Yesterday it became known that the company had sent to San Francisco for 5000 Chinamen to work the mines, and last night the American and Mexican miners, held a mass meeting and determined not to submit to the coming of the coolies. They also framed petition to the American Congress asking protection.
 The situation looks threatening, and 8 bat tie between the independent miners and the English company's men is looked for every moment. Blood will certainly be shed if the company insists on bringing coolies to the camps.
