NO CHANGE IN THE STRIKE.


LONDON, April A.-There has been little
or no change in the situation of affairs in
connection with the wholesale strike OF
weavers in Bradford. During the day there
have been several conferences between
Messrs. Lester & Co., the most prominent
mill owners, and citizens of Bradford who
are trying to bring about some sort of com.
promise agreement by which the strike,
which has assumed a dangerous Vpect,
may be terminated. The citizens repre-
sentatives have also been in communica-
ton with the strikers. The result of these
negotiations, however, is that Lester & Co
finally refused to refer the matter in dis
pute to arbitration, claiming they have a
right to conduct their business in their own
way without any submitting to outside par
ties.
The strikers, on the other hand are an.
nounced to be preparing an appeal setting
forth their wrongs and the justice of their
cause, which will be addressed to the work
lngmen and working women of the world
at large The police force of the entire dis
trict is on duty and the troops are still con-
fined to their barracks and are kept under
arms.

LONDON, April IA meeting of mem
hers of the house of lords who compose the

be assisted in the leadership by Earl

SALISBURY AND CHILL.
The marquis of Salisbury has sent cable
dispatch to the British minister at Santiago
De Chill and one to the British admiral, G.
+. Heatham, in command of the Pacific
station. In these dispatches the premier
says that the closing of vitrate ports of
Chill by order of President Balmaceda is
ultra wires insomuch that the blockade of
these ports has been officially declared. Lord
Salisbury has notified British ship owners
who are interested in the trade with Chill
that the British admiral in Chilian
waters will protect their interests and that
England does not recognize the double ex-
action of duties now collected by
the Chilian congress party and
by President Balmaceda's adherents
but the Marquis of Salisbury adds that he
advises British merchants to pay double
iuty in order to avoid trouble, and do so

CoNsrANTINoPLE, April 14.-A Russian
war ship belonging to the volunteer fleet

been stopped by the Turkish authorities on

sci was proceeding through that passage on

appealed to the Russian ambassador, M.
De Naledoff, WHO in turn entered the

M. De Naledotf claimed in warm terms
that the action of the Turkish officers at

ing between Russia and Turkey. After
considerable interchange of views on the
subject, the Porte finally came to the con-
clusion that it would be inadvisable to de
tain the war ship any further, and she was
allowed to pass the Dardanelles.
The action of the Turkish authorities in
stopping the Russian war ship was taken on
the ground of the treaty of 184l, signed in
that year by the five great powers, includ-
ing Turkey by which it was decided no
ship of war belonging to any nation save
Turkey should pass the Dardanelles with
out the express consent of Turkey, all mer-
chant ships being also required to show
their papers to the Ottoman authorities
The provisions Of this treaty were confirmed
in London in 1871 and in Berlin in 1878.

THE MILL DIFFICULTIES.

LONDON, April 14.-In spite of several
offers made by persons desiring the putting
of an end to the present labor troubles In
Bradford, the directors of the mills refuse
to allow disputes between themselves and
the employees to be decided by arbitration.
The directors declare that the weavers are
perfectly willing to go back to work, but are
terrorized by the labor agitators and other
leaders who are supposed to be conducting
the strike.

"Bitters."
"What kind of bitters ?"
Apple bitters and rye bitters."
(Smiles in the court room
Mr.. Shoemate continued that the bit
tors cost him about 50. 80 gallon.
The testimony in substance was that
Shoemate left his shop one Saturday
night in December last securely locked,
but the next Sunday morning poplar
keg Of rye bittcrs' was missing, the
establishment OF Mr.. Shoemate on
Alabama street having been broken
into.
That same Sunday morning Charles

The Question to be Voted on in
Salem To-Day.
The ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.

To-day is the day of the local option
election. There has been very little
excitemeptduring the campaign, and
until within the last few days there has
been scarcely any interest manifested.
None of the preachers have preached
any special temperance sermons, al
though at the Y. NJ. G. a. meeting of
two Sundays ago Rev. Armand Miller,
of the Lutheran, and Rev. j S. Hutchin-
son, of the Methodist Churches, spoke
in favor of local option. Tuesday night
J. Wingo, of Tazewell Court House,
lectured to n large audience in the
Town Hall in favor of local option. A
temperance tract has been circulated
during the last three or four days and
about fifty of the citizens of Salem have
pledged themselves, in case of q local
option victory, to organize law and
order league for the purpose of break
ing up the "blind tigers" of Salem.
Among the names on this pledge are
Allemong, DIR. julius D. Dreher, Prof.
j. II. Crabtree, George Allen and many
others.
On the other hand the high license
men have been working quietly. Their
arguments for high license are that the
blind tigers only cut off the legitimate
revenues, and demonstrate that pro-
hibition does not prohibit.
Many good citizens will vote for high
license to-day, some of these being shin
ing lights in tho church.
1t is impossible to predict tho result
OF the election, both sides being conf
debt of a victory.
The voting will take place in the
courthouse. Tho judges are as follows:
S. a. Wilson, E. NJ. Armstrong, Jr., and
J. B. Kearns. The judges will appoint
two clerks.
