TW0.LOOM SYSTEM
Remains an Unsettled Ques-
ton at 0lnevvilIe.
The Advisabiliy Of Ordering a General Strike
Considered.

The report In olneyvilie yesterday that
the strikers of the Riverside mill had
voted to go TO work was premature, and
not altogether accurate. A meeting of the
strikers was held yesterday afternoon,
and after II had been voted to continue
the strike against the two-loom system
the wsavers considered the sdvisability
Of ordering . general strike. II was stated
II this was not done single loom wsavers
might az we'll return TO work.
After . long discussion 1t was voted
70 do this. A committee was appointed
10 confer with Superintendent Ward and
10 state that the wesvers were ready 10
work provided they were not placed on
double looms. The committee were una
BILE To obtain any decision, but will hold
another conference. when the matter will
probably be settled. The strike Agains,
the two-ioom system Ia still on, however
and any attempt to make It general will
probably result In another strike.

At THE STATE HOUSE.
Air of Activity in The Sen
ate Today.
LOIS Of FUN IN THE HOUSE.
Doors Locked and Members Sent For
to Make q Quorum.

There was an air OF activity around the
State House today and the Senate did
considerable business, the most impor-
tant OF which were the acts providing for
the exemption from taxation OF all the
buildings and personsl estate owned by
any corporation used for q school, acad-
envy, or seminary of learning, and any
incorporated public charitable institution.
Acts were also passed providing for
six days encsmpment of the militia and
for the building of q wharf at the camp
grounds at Quonset Point.
Speaker Owen was In his place today
and the rest he has had evidently gave
him a firm grip for he gave "Bors" Will
son quite tussle.
The fun began by Mr.. Wilson making
a motion to suspend the rules and trans
NIT all matters on the clerks desk to the
Senate.
This was opposed by MIR. Brown Of
Providence aud DIR. Garvin, as they In
tended to move reconsideration OF the
vote whereby the anti-vaccination act
was passed yesterday.
The Repu biicans at once, under the lead
OF Messrs. Wilson and Allen, pursued
dilatory tactics and whom Wilson saw
he could not get his motion carried he
got bis men to leave the chamber so as to
break Q quorum.
The time was consu med In useless roll.
calls upon adjournment and appeals from
the decision OF the Spes ker and the House
was only kept In session by the casting
vote of the Speaker on two occasions.
Two Providence members were telephoned
for and a request signed by the necessary
10 members was presented to the Speaker
to enforce rule AZ, compelling the atteD-
dance OF members
A few Republican members escaped
with the connivsnce of the Sheriff who. II
was noticed, was not as nimble as whom
he was ordered last year by Speaker Ca
prom. After the doors were closed quo
rum did not materislize but there was q
suff1cienoy to refuse adjournment. After
a contest in parliamentary skill, Mr..
Brown of Providence was finally recog-
uized and he meved to reconsider tue vote
| whereby the anti-vaccination bill Was
passed.
The motion was stated from the chair,
| the Speaker taking care to get the bill
from the clerk at the same time.
Mr.. Brow then moved to adjourn and
it was 80 voted, thus making the motion
for reconsideration the pending business,
and the first in order tomorrow morning,
or the next day that legislation can be
performed.
Had Mr.. Wilson forced adjourn ment
as be tried to the right OF reconsideration q
would have lspssd.

A movement which has the sanction OF
the Adjutant General and other military
leaders has been started by the introduce
tion of an act into the Legislature to ex-

States government. Siege guns and earth
works are allowed by the government to
each State which owns It's camp ground,
and whose troops are annually encamped

been accepted by a numb Der of States, and
the proposed change In the militia laws
will put Rhode Island on a footing with
Connecticut and other near. by States.
