NEW YORK, Jan. s.--There were little
signs o! business In the carpet factory OF
Higgins Il Co., this morning, while throngs
OF workmen might have been seen on the
street corners In the vicinity discussing
the strike. There were also congs,gated In
hall nearby large crowd Of earnest
workers awaiting events.
At an early hour members OF the national
executive committee OF the United Pro-
gressive Carpet Workers Union, including
John Morris of this city and Joseph
Mcclure OF Philadelphia, visited the
Higgins factory where they learned that
their demand for restoration OF the prices
In effect prior TO December nth had not
been acqlIieseed In and word was accord
ingly sent to the employees in the spin
ming, twisting and Keeling departments
Hs well as to those In the doubling depart
ment IN the worsted mill The settlers In
the tapestry and In the weavers and dyers
in the Brussels and ingraln sections In the
carpet mill were also notified.
There was Immediately TN exodus from
this factory, and soon only those whom the
committee permitted to remain at work
were In the factory.
The officials In charge OF the establish
ment declined to give any information, but
tho employing agent asserted that there
were enough hands still In the factory to
Keep the work going on about as usual,
Tne girls, he said, wanted holiday and
took It. The strikers are now holding a
mas meeting to determine upon their future
action.

Market reports show that the recent
activity Of the Maryland oyster navy in
suppressirg the .pirates of the Chesa-
peake" has caused a considerable falling
on in the receipts of the biyaives and q
consequent advance in their price. This
is regarded as healthy sign, not only
for the oysters of the present but for
those of the future. These piratioal
dredgers have been engaged in regular
war of determination, 30 far as the oyster
supply Of the Chesapeake and Its tribu-
taries 10 concerned. Present gain YVES all
that they cared for; the future might
look out for itself. We're they permitted
to continue doing as they had been,
practically unmolested, il lie not base
less apprehension that, In the course of q
few years more, oysters would have be-
come nearly as scarce in Maryland
waters as buffaloes have become on the
western plains.

General Hippolyte, having been elected

Rress of deputies from all the departments,

But Mr.. Lincoln received a decided plu-

the only remaining minority president Of

first time in our history, Presidential

The Democrats have not yet determined
whom TO favor with their IA votes when the
senatorial bailotlng begins. How would 1t
do to vote for Secretary Bayard This
would not only be graceful compliment
TO Delawares most distinguished citizen,
but would give the Democratic members q
candidate who, more than any other DEM
ocrat in the State, would be in position to
profit by the bitter fractional quarrels that
already mark the Republican senatorial
est.-Sunday Star" Democratic Glasses"
An excellent suggestion and one that
must commend itself to Delaware Demo-
erats generally as the proper and fitting
course to take at this time. 1t will be
wise in the fourteen Democratic members
to agree upon senatorial candidate !;
this is too obvious for argument. By
uniting on Mr. Bayaid they may not only
pay Delaware's distinguished statesman q
compliment, the more acceptable for
coming unsolicited, but at the same time
reiterste before the people Of the whole
country the confidence and approval
which the people of Mr.. Bayare's own
State have reposed in him during the
trying period in which his high station
and Incorporating devotion to prin-
cipls have made him the special target
for the bitterest shafts OF envicus detrac-
tion, partisan malice and the studied mis-
representation of thousands of small
Drained cyclists who delight in condemn
ing whst they cannot comprehend.
Added to this, upon whom could the
choice Of Delaware Democrats fall with
such an abnegation of factionaIism as
upon the one man who has been lifted
not less by his personal sense of political
integrity than by his ofioisl position
above the local currents OF faotionalIsm /?
