THE PATERSON STRIKE.
Strikers Have Some Fun With a Squad of

PATERSON, n. J., March 10.-A big addi-
ton was made to the ranks of the striking
ribbon weavers when 200 of the opera
tives in the Barbour flax spinning mills
struck for an increase of 30 per cent. All
of the operatives in these mills did not
leave their work, and at night the strikers
assembled in front of the mill to induce
the others to join the strike.
A squad of six policemen went to the
mill to preserve order. When they APP
preached the strikers, they were surround
ed by circle of youngsters who work i'll
the dotfing department. The boys and
girls joined hands and swung around the
police in a circle singing:
Ring around a rosy;
A pocket full of poses.
The crowd laughed, and this made the
policemen angry, and they charged the
crowd of laughing strikers.
AS soon as the latter saw that the police
were in earnest they met the blue coats
with handfuls of dirt, sand and small
stones, and then they took to their heels,
No arrests were made.
Nearly all of the Barbour strikers are
women. The striking ribbon weavers again
surrounded tina mills where men are en-
ployed on their looms, but no violence was
resorted to, and the police did not interfere

an unseaworthy condition. Advices
were received at the navy department
today from the Alaskan fleet which
bear out the Associated Press report
regarding the unsesworthy condition
OF the Adams. 1t seems that tie &C.
cident to the vessel was go serious
that it was necessary for the York
town to tow her from Unalaska to
Sitka, o distance OF 100 miles, at q
rate OF eight knots an hour. AT Sitka
repairs were made and the vessel
proceeded to san Francisco, where
she arrived last night by slow stages.
Had she been an iron vessel instead
of wooden she would have been

whether she can be repaired

Religion, government, habits OF life,

stone have been discovered, bearing
inscriptions which include promises to

Interstate Commerce Commission Seek

WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-The in

far received no facts or proof that
would warrant that body in institut.
ing suit agar ct the Atchison officials.
Expert Little was in the city few
days ago and had short conference
with Colonel Morrison chairman If the
commission. 1t was at the latter
request that the expectation of the
commission that facts would be set
forth by Mr.. Little sufficient to war
rant the commission in taking action
was not realized. Mr.. Little spoke of
the affairs of the Atchison in a gen
eral way, but gave no particulars on
which the prosecution could be based.
One of the commissioners said today
that the commission had not yet de-.
veloped clear case against the Off
Gals of the Atchison, and that no
steps would be taken until additional
facts are brought to light.
| Inc case has been under con-
sideratiOL for long time,
and an investigation was recently
made in New YORK.. The members of

Commissioner Clements, are away
from the city and as full board will
not be in session for several weeks a
considerable length of time will elapse
before such steps can be taken. Com
missioner Clements, when seen today,
said: "What would constitute admis.
sable proof before a court am unable
to say. Mr.. Little was here and had
short conference with the chairman
but left no papers and no evidence of
any kind. He neither gave nor
pointed to any evidence in re-.
spect to particular tranactions
or illegal rebates in this
connection and his connection with
the matter has been in the interests
of the investors who have EMPLOYED
him to see what the property was ac-
tuslly worth. He certainly, so far as
