G. We need 8 cotton mill.

We need experienced men to take charge oi
the various Industries, and these men should

WASHINGTON, September 10.-Orders
have been issued by Admiral Ramsay,
acting Secretary of the Navy, for the re-
turn to San Francisco of all the Behring
Sea patrol fleet. They are to sail for
home not later than the 9th proximo.
The flag ship Mohican will be the last
one to leave the station. The United
States ship Adams has already reached
Whatcom, Wash, on her way to San
Francisco. The Adams ran aground in
Behring Sea during dense fog, but was
hauled off before she sustained serious
damage. At the time Commander j. J.
Brice was down with remittent fever,
and the vessel was in command OF the
executive officer. The matter will be
officially investigated.

The Clothing Workers.

New YORK, September 8.-Four local
assemblies of the Knights of Labor, in
terested in the clothing trade, struck to-
day. About II 900 men and women left
work. The Knights in the tailor trade
claim to be suffering from the same
grievance complained of by the other
workers connected with the Federation
OF Labor. As result of a conference
held to-day between the committee OF the
Contractors Association and another
from the body of strikers the former
agreed to all the demands of their en-
ployes. Ten hours will hereafter consti-
tute days work. Fifty-nine hours for
a week of six days is all that will be
asked of the men, overtime to be paid
extra. This agreement does not affect
the action of the Knights of Labor, who
struck for the same concessions to-day.
1t is said $1,000 or II 900 Knights in the
trade in this city, Brooklyn and Browns
vile will be out tomorrow.

The Textile strikers.

New BEDFORD, September S.-The
break in the ranks of the mill owners is
widening. A number of them favor a
compromise with the strikers, and it is
understood that steps to this end have
been taken. The manufacturers propo-
sition is to start up at a reduction OF 5
per cent instead of 10, the cut to be re-
stored when the cloth market reaches 3
cents. This proposition, it is understood,
the operatives rejected, claiming that
when the market reaches cents the
time will come for an increase in wages.
A number of directors and stockholders
are beginning to be dissatisfied with the
present condition OF affairs, and want
the strikers back at the old schedules,
stating that the mills then can make

a new prison at Folsom with the pro-
ceeds. They have made recommended
ton to that effect to the Governor and
Legislature. The San Quentin property
comprises 1lS acres. Objection is made
to San Quentin because its accessibility
enables persons to land liquor, arms
and opium for contraband distribution

lieve the San Quentin property could
be turned into residence lots and sold

DESPAIR OF SUCCESS.
Little Chance of Recognizing the Trans
continental Association.


continental Association.
SAN Francisco, September 10. = An
evening paper says: 1t now comes to
my knowledge that the efforts made by
the Southern Pacific and some other
lines to bring into existences once more
the Transcontinental Association of rail-
ways is met by refusal of the three large
systems to take part. These are Atchi-
son and Topeka, the Union Pacific and
the Northern Pacific. All of these sys-
TENS are in the hands of receivers, and
this fact is used as an explanation con-
corning their refusal to fall into line.
Prominent officials connected with the
Southern Pacific have told friends that
the outlook for bringing all the old lines
together again in one combine does not
look tlattering at this time, and that
they have about despaired of success.
Freight business seems harder to man
age under the new conditions than the
passenger end of the traffic. In addi-
ton to the confusion produced by the
attitude of the Atchison and Topeka, the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific there
is also threatening of trouble from the
comparatively new position which the
Great Northern has acquired during the
past few months by traffic arrange
ment made with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company since it fell
out of the hands of the Union Pacific.

CANADIAN CLAIMS.
No Proposition Has Been Made to Settle
the Seal Fisheries.

the Seal Fisheries.
WASHINGTON, September TO-" 1t is
the first | have heard of any such offer, "
said acting Secretary Uhl for the State
Department when shown the dispatch
from Ottawa saying that Sir Charles
Upper, Canadian Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, had received a dispatch
from Victoria telling of an agreement OF
interested sealers to take the $425, 900
offered by the United States government
as a settlement for the dispute about
seizures. Mr.. Uhl said that no such sum
had been appropriated for the purpose
given. During the closing days OF Con-
gress Secretary Gresham was at the cap
itol interviewing members of the two
Appropriation Committees as to the
chances ior obtaining an appropriation
to settle the claims al Canadian sealers.
In view OF the short lime remaining un-
til the termination OF the session 1t was
deemed inadvisable to attempt to secure
the passage of bill carrying the amount
named, particularly as no measure could
be put through except by unanimous
consent. The State Department officials
are at a loss to understand the meaning
of the message of Sir Charles Upper.

MASS MEETING OF NEGROES.
CRIME IN ARIZONA.
Murder which May Lead to Renewal
of an Old Feud.

PHGNIx, AT, September 10.-A cow
boy brought to Tempe this evening the
report of the murder of Horace B. Schil-
lev on the Rene Mountain road seventy
miles east of Phoenix. The body was
found lying by the roadside with several
rife-shot wounds in the back and horri-
bly, mashed by means of powders thrown
on it to make death doubly certain. The
head was mutilated till Identification
was almost impossible. He had been
killed the 9th instant. A party of COW
BOYS held rough inquest on the re-
mains and buried the body on the spot,
and then started out on what seems to
be a fruitless search after the murderers,
for it is believed several persons were
implicated. Schilley's horse and revolver
have not been found, and they are sup
posed to have been taken by the assas-
sins. The murder is especially impor-
tant as indicating reopening OF the
bloody Tonic Basin or Pleasant Valley
feud between the Tewksberry and era
ham factions. Thirty men were killed
during the war, and the leader is now in
Jail in this city, accused of the murder
OF the last of the opposition family. Or
ficers are offitting to go to the scene.
