THE STRIKE IN "a 1 RIVER.
Six Thousand Weavers United In Re-
fusaI to Continue Work.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March ia weav-
ers' strike for an advance in wages was in
augurated at the Fall River mills this morn
ing. 1t is one of the most general in the his
tory of labor troubles in this city. The
weaving departments of so mills are practi-
cally shut down and about 5000 weavers are
idle Those who refused to strike do not al
together number more than half enough to
keep one mill going. The extent Of the
strike is quite surprise to the manufacture
ers who expected that only few mills in the
outskirts would be involved. They thought
the help would be so much divided as to the
wisdom of strike at the present time that
this circumstance would dsorganize the
movement in few days.
Everything has been orderly on the part
of the striking mill operatives thus far. The
orders of the Union to the weavers to avoid
any gathering in the vicinity of the mills
were obeyed by the latter. This afternoon
notices was posted in the offices Of the Lin
coin. :Metacomet and Anawan mills to the
effect that wages of strikers were ready upon
application The weavers were advised by
their executive committee not to go near the
offices as it was trick to cheat them out of
part of their wages. The manufacturers are
confident the strike will be short. More or
less trouble is expected until after ST. Pat

Terminal Facilities OF Railroads.
The bill relating to terminal facilities for
railroads in cities, which has been passed in
a form to apply to the Boston & Maine
railroad alone, was today called back by Mr..

and a committee of conference has been ap-
pointed to meet Senate committee and en-
deayor to have the bill remodeled to apply

boxes in the basement of the capitol and
now going speedily to destruction, are to be
preserved and labelled and kept subject to
the call Of the State in the mineralogical de-

The bill to put a bounty on the seal, which
passed the Senate Saturday, came into the
House this forenoon. On motion of Uncle

Houses.

HOPEFUL IRON MEN.
Looking to An Early Improvement In
the Market for Their Goods.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE following
dispatches regarding the iron trade have
been received here:
READING, March IL.
The feeling among iron men here is Of unusual
hopfulness while the general voice is to the effect
that trade is unusually dull and stagnant. None
think this condition will last and all predict a
revival with fine spring and summer trade. The
present depression is usually attributed to the
lack of confidence which is regarded as cause
less. General faith exists in the present condi-
ticn OF the country and there is no fear anywhere
of anything In the nOture of panic or long lcOn-
inued stagnaton of business.

houses, About three-quarters of the nsna1
amount has been harvested, and the quality
will compare favorably with that put up last
year. Owing TO the mild winter we have
had, the ice stored is from six to eight inches
thinner than last years crop.
The feeling among the leading ice men Is
that good prices will be paid for their pro-
duct. and that the coming summer will be 8
busy one along the Kennebec. Prominent
dealers from Philadelphia visited Richmond
last week, and the probabilities are that the
river will be alive with vessels from May
until November, carrying ice to Southerl

An excellent Appointment.

This summer there is to be held in Paris a
great Exposition Of Works of Art and the
Products of Manufactures and Agriculture
of all Nations. Each State of the Union
sends two representatives. Governor Bur-
leigh has already, upon recommendation of
Mr.. Blaine, appointed as one of the Maine
commissioners Hon. William Seligman. now
a resident of Paris. As the other commits
sioner Governor Burleigh has now appoint
ed Representative Edmund B. Mallet of
Freeport, gentleman widely and favorably
known all over Maine. tMr. Mallet will
probably leave for Paris about the middle of
April, and will spend the whole summer and
most of the autumn until the middle of Oc-
tober in Paris, making excursio IS thence to
the principal cities of Europe. Maine man
ufactures will probably be well represented.
