Regarding the Action of the Fall River
Mill Men


Fall River. Mass, Cctboer l.-There is
still an unc ertainty whether the mills will
be able to resume operations in full on
Monday morning. Secretary Howard feels
the spinners will vote tomorrow to accept
the terms offered by the manufacturers, bu
several members of the union think that
they had better remain out while longer
NJ embers of the CardeI's union are very
much disappointed because they were not
offered at least per cent compromise and
the weavers are boiling over with anger
against the manufacturers who discrimi-
mated against them. Word was received
from New Bedford that the weavers and
oarders in the mills of that city had re-
sumed under special agreements made with
ind ividual employers. In most cases it is
understood that compromise WAS ac-
cepted.
The Daily News says editorially that the
proposition is admittedly a fair one. II is
true that a special conc ession is made to
the spinners. as the comparatively small
number in the association causes tie abso-
lutte necessity of securing their co-opera-
tion for the benefit of the whole. The in
dividual characteristics of every one of the
mill treasurers may not be above criticism,
but as body we believe them as humane
and considerate of the welfare of the en-
ployes as anysclass holding.similar.positi
of responsibility.

THE THREE WRECKS.
Prospect That Two of the Vessels May Be
Saved-The Laura Cox So High on the
Beach that Carts Drive Up to Her and
Load on BIueberries.

Late yesterday afternoon, Captain I en-
ney, of the Central Wharf Tow boat Com
pany, returned 10 the city from trip to
the schooners wrecked near the Two
Lights. The Rosie and Adra still lies on
Trundy's reef, but is not SO badly brok-
en- up as it was expected she would be
Captain Tenney thought that she might
possibly be saved. Her deck has appar-
emily started some.
The Laura Cox lies high on the beach
at Broad Cove, and yesterday teams
were driving alongside and loading on
the canned blueberries. which are being
brought to this city as fast as possible
The schooner is in good shape and will
be saved.
The little schooner D. e. Ham, which
was abandoned at anchor by her crew
near Richmond's Isand, drifted ashore
on Scar boro beach. Yesterday she was
stripped, as it was not considered worth
while to try to save her.
All the shipwrecked sailors are still at
the life-saving station, where they will
be cared for until they can get home.
Messrs. Frank Grady and John G.
Hickey of Lynn, the two passengers on
the d. K. Ham, came to this city yester-
day morning.

A Ouadruple Alliance,

Boston, October l1.--A special from Paris.
says: Recent evcnts in the far east are
going to bring about considerable change
on the political chess board of Europe. Ne
gotiations have.beep inspIogress tor several
days past and are now ready to come to a
head between France, England, Russia and
Germany for a quadruple alliance to pro-
tect foreigners in China. 1t is unnec ecessary
TO point out the Importance of this new
entente between France and Germany
which would have seemed impossible five
years ago. An understanding between
Russia and England ON an Asiatic question
would also appear equally impossible, if it
was not for the fact that all the European
powers desire peace at any price.

ing Banquet Was Served to the Wis
itors and Their Ladies'

tions today were secured in 1889 and pre-
vious thereto by bribing the legislature.
The national banking system would put
sstop to that sort of Legislation, the
speaker had every confidence. II the
bankers of the country would try, they
could have the law amended to make
it as near perfect as possible. The Bal
timore plan was discussed by several
delegates. They got into wrangle over
the constitutional phase of the subject,
and the proposed amendments were fin
ally adopted, and a commit tee of nine
appointed to present them to Congress.
The nominating committee presented
the following nominations: Douglass
II. Thomas, president Merchants' Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, for president;
John c. Nealy of Chicago. first vice
president; E. H. Pullen of New York,
chairman of the executive council; Hem
ry W. Ford of New York, secretary.
Immediately there was scene of con-
fusion. and delegates were on their feet
in every direction. 1t was declared that
by all rule and precedent, J. P. Odell,
first vice president of the Bankers Asso-
citation, was entitled to the presidency,
and an amendment was finally adopted,
giving the presidency for the ensuing
year to MIR. Odell, who is president of the
Union National Bank of Chicago. Doug
lass ii Thomas was selected as first vice
president, and further recommends tions
OF the nominating committee were
agreed to, including the followingsmem-
bers of the executive council for three
years: Myron T.-Herrick of Cleveland,
Herman just of Nashville, Thomas P.
Beale of Boston, Henry W. Yates of Oma-
ha, H.W. Wheeler of Seattle, J. Edward
Simmons of New York, VIC. Cornwell of
Buffalo.
