Nearly 5000 Hands Thrown Out of Elm.
 plOymsnt-Ths spinners Prepared for .
 Fight-The Unorganixed Employos to
 Appeal to the Public-Ths Clarks Re-
 fuse tO Talk About the Trouble.
 NEWARK. N. J., Dec. 1.-The mills of the Clark Thread Company in Kearney and Newark have closed down and almost 5000 people were thrown out of employ ment. The excuse given by the firm is that the mills are closed for repairs until January 1, when work will again be re- sumed, but the employees insist that they are locked out to satisfy the spleen of Superintendent Walmsley for the per sistent efforts they have made to oust him from his position.
 Neither Walmsley, who came into notortoty two years ago as the result of strike among the girls employed in tho mills because of their refusal to discard the hustle, nor the members of the firm will say anything about the shutdown.
 Of those who are now out of employ. ment, 2,6O0 arc young women, 105 spin ners and 1O2 creelers. For almost . year discontent has existed among the mill hands, because of the superintend- . ent's aggressive tactics, especially among the spinners.
 The only thoroughly organized body in the mills are the spinners, but relief committees have been organised to see what can be done for the others. The spinners say that the last strike cost them $8,000, and that they did not have to get aid from the national union, and that they are in even better shape now. Out of the relief fund each striker will be allowed from $5 to $9 week.
 A meeting of the unorgAnized employees is being held to-day to draft an appeal to the public.
 Since the trouble began, Superintend- ent Walmsley has been in great fear, and yesterday the strikers learned that po- hceman from the second precinct station in Newark had been detailed to rem ain all night with him in his house.
 A committee of the Newark mill men waited upon Captain McManus and were told that this detail was at the order of Chief Hopper. The men called on the latter, who told them that the request was not made by any one on behalf of Walmsley for any officer, but it had been done entirely on the responsibility of the Chief, as during the last strike explosives had been found near the mans house, and while none of the strikers were be- lieved to be guilty of placing them there, the man was entitled to protection. The Clarks again refused to talk of the akrifa

ANTl-PARNELL MANIFESTO.
Bound to Protecl Irsland's Cause at What.
 eyer Personal Sacrifice.

Bound to Protecl Ireland's Cause at What
 ever Personal Sacrifice.
 DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-The manifesto of the seceding majority of the Irish party de. clares that they are bound to protect the cause of their country at whatever personal sacrifice.
 1t asserts that MT. Parnell has disre- garded their appeal to remember the country, and has evinced an ill-judged oeterm1natton to maintain a position which will not be sustained by the peo- pie. It IS the duty of all Irishmen, ir- respective of their kindly personal feel tngs toward MT. Parnell, to adopt a course that will save the country from the danger which threatens it as a result of MT. Parnells misconduct.
 The document further says that Mir, Parnelps utterances would indicate that he Is the injured party, whereas he alone Is responsible for the present deplorable condition of affairs. It details MT. Par nelPe failure to keep his promise to repel the charges of Captain o'shea, and makes many severe references to his conduct since the charges were brought against him. ~
 Parnelps personality, it ayers, obstructs 1reland's freedom. If he is reelected the Tory Government will resume it's power and coercion will receive @ new lease of life. The manifesto is r0plete with declar. attons of the fullest confidence in MT. Gladstone's desire and ability to grant substantial seIf-government to Ireland.
 The document is signed by AZ members, headed by Justin Mccarthy. It concludes: "The issue we submit to the people is one upon which the fortunes of our country must depend. May God . defend the riGhtn
