WILL LOSE THEIR CAUSE.
DissensiOn Among the Fall River
Strikers.
WEAYERS ARE JEALOUS OF THE
SPINNERS' UNION.

And Will Vent Their Spite on Howard,
Who Is Their Best Friend-He Has
Been Endeavoring to Secure Com
promise with the Mill Owners-Little
Prospect of Speedy Resumption of
Work,
Fall River, Mass, September 3d. Since
the reports of yesterdays meetings be-
tween the oper atives and Manufacturers
were published in the local papers, there
has been considerable discussion among
the idle operatives. An overwhelming
sentiment favoring further resistance
expressed at, the weavers' meeting,
together with the Disappointing result of
the conference between the spinners and
manufacturers, con- bined to make much
hard feeling and led to many bitter ex-
pressions on the part of the men who are
in close contactswith the working people.
Today many people have an idea that
thesmanufacturers' intention is to fight
the spinners' union, and particularly to
fight Robert Howard, their successful
leader.
At the conference between the spinners
and manufacturers representatives, it
was noticeable that Secretary Rounse-
vile was not SO courteous as usual to W :
ards the spinners'p popular secretary. AT
a meeting of the weavers, Howard was
denounced because he sought a hearing
for the spinners before consulting the
amalgamated association. So bitter was
this feeling that one weaver called
Ii
ards action when his name was brought
forward for political honor. This senti-
ment was not only allowed by the pres
iding officer, but was met by the general
body with many demonstf ations of ap-
proval. Howard regards this feeling as
of very little Importance SO far as he is
concerned personally. He says that at
least three manufacturers gave him to
understand the conference might result in
some sort OF compromise He report
ed this to the executive committee of the
sp;nners' union, and they decided it
would do no hahn to have talk, and
perhaps might do some good. He went
with five members of the committee to
see the manufacturers. Had he been
given any reason to believe the manufac-
turers were not willing to offer some sort
of compromise to relieve the general
suffering, he never would have troubled
them or humiliatd the union by trying
to effect sediment at this time. THAT
Howard still retains much of his old
time strength here despite the talk now
so prevalent against him, is shown by
the warm words spoken of his course by
business men and property owners.
Secretary Tansey said last evening
there appeared to be very general de-
sire among the carders to become more
united, and he felt confident that some
competent leader like Howard could soon
form the strongest union in the city by
devoting some attention to the carders.
An attempt was made last evening to
induce the Globe yarn mule spinners to
return to work. Z at the compromise
prices offered some weeks ago. A meet
ing of the Globe yarn men will be held
during the week, probably tomorrow.
These attempts are being made by the
overseers of the mill, and not by the
union authorities.

Arrival Of Mahlon, Haley and st.
CrOis.
A SPECIAL RACE TO BE ARRANGED
FOR THESE FOR THURSDAY.
Directum to Come in His Private Car by
Express This Morning.

Events are progressing finely for the
great meeting at Rigby PAX this week.
Seth Griffin, the builder of the tack, has
arrived and says that unless weather pre-
vents he will have the Rigby track the
fastest in the country for great the races of
the present week.
The stallion king Directum, 2.05 1-2. the
Black Wonder of the trotting world, Is
to arrive this morning in his private car by
express. The three fine young MainefstaIl-
Ions, Mahlon, Haley and st. CT ok, who did
such brilliant work in the 2.15 stallion class
at the New England Breeders meeting at
Mystic Park last week, have arrived and
all In excellent condition. 1t will be re-
membered to the credit of Maine that in
that large field of fast hores Mahlon, by
Alcantara. took first money and d.-Haley,' by
Nelson, second. The track is not fast but
Mahlon made record of 215 1-2 over it
and Haley was right on his wheel every
time. st. Croix also gave an excellent
account of himself and was close up to the
leaders. 1t is now proposed to arrange
special race for these three for Thursday,
which as ii was at Mystic would be only
second in interest to the race of the stall
Ion. kings of the preoeding day
Nelson, the ex-king, is in fine condition
and if he cannot vanish the.wearer of the
present stallion crown, he can make him
go considerably faster than he did at Mys-
tic last Wednesday. It was at Rigby last
season that Nelson took his. mark of 2.
when the track was pronounced. by good
judges, who examined every foot of it to
be from 100 to $50 and half seconds
slower. Had conditions been all right that
day Nelson's mark would have been 2O7
or less. At all nts,Nelson has recently
demonstrated that under the disadvantage
of outside position in field of three he
can give Directum great race and at Rig
by as he is on his own familiar premises and
training ground.
Quite serious accident occurred at the
park yesterday. The stallion St. Croix had
a cross fit and seized his grooms' hand,
biting and chewing it with such force as to
badly mangle the hand before the groom
could release himself from the grip. The
man was taken to the Maine General hospi-
tai and will be disabled for some time.

THE DRINK HABIT.
Gen. Neal Dow Speaks at the Y.M. G. A.
Rooms-Responsibiiit of the Churches.

AT 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Gene
raj Neal Dow delivered an address at the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation, his subject being: Traps for
Men,
The audience was as large as the room
would hold. General Dow's subject was the
drink traffic and the Drunkenness, and he
treated it from the indiy idual. rather than
the public standpoint. AS usualsthe speaker
told many interesting anecdotes. One of
theln related to a conversation which he
had with John Bright, wherein he told the
great Englishman that he could name the
day when prohibition would win. Mr. Bright
was much surprised until Mr.. Dow added .
''It will be when the church wakes up.
Mr.. Dow went. on to give some statistics
relating to the magnitude of the drink
habit.
There ara spent $1,000 ,0o0.0 600 year in
strong drink. That money, if allowed togo
in its proper channels would give outright
ii house to every man who has none.
There are more than 100000 homes in Eng
land where domestic happiness is unknown
on account of strong drink.
General Dow spoke at some lenght on the
attitude of the churches, saying that the
condition of the church north, east. south
and west, lis said to be such that its wholein-
nuenees are on the ai lie of thegrog shops. If
tnis is true it is important that the church.
es should wake up 10 the significance of
their position.
General Dow recalled how h. had ad-
dressed large Methodist cap1plneeting
here in New England few years ago, tell
ing them that their speeches, prayers and
hymns in favor of temperance were very
beautiful 'sBut.do you know what you do
when you leave here'' asked he. You go
and throw your influence in favor of the
grog shops,'' General Dow said that there
were five million voters in the churches of
the country, and whatever they should
insist upon would go.
The lack of self-denial was at the bottom
of the most of the failures and offences of
life. General Dow recalled conversa-
tion he had with some young plumbers who
were at his house. One of them acknowl-
edged that he spent dollar week for
cigars. and of his $ls week saved moth
ing. "Do you know how much your course
of life is costing your" asked Mr.Dow
''No. never stopped to think
'Well, when you come tomorrow l will
tell you'
So the next day General Dow informed
him that the money he was Getting slip
through his fingers would if saved amount
to seventy thousand dollars when he should
arrive at the age of seventy years.
General Dow concluded by aging that
the rum traffic is-the sgreat obstacle to the
spread of the gospel throughout the world
tits also the great obstacle to general
prosp sperity and well being.

VESSELS IN DANGER.
Dangerous Posirion-No Help Can Be
Sent.

Sent.
Su.Johns, N.F., Septem ber 3o.-The
gale that has been raging on the Atlant-
ic coast of the United States the past
week reached here last night and ragged
fercely today. No messages from OUT
lying places has been received, but it, is
believed that considerable damage is
done, especially to the fishing feet on
the Grand Banks. Four vessels an
chored off the mouth of the harbor are
in very dangerous positions. Two of
them are the barks Viola and the Belle
from Brazil, the third is an
American schooner and the fourth is
local schooner laden with fish. All
are unable to enter the harbor owing to
head Winds There is no steamer in port,
so it is impossible to tow them in. The
local schooner was abandoned today by
the crew as they feared she would foun-
der. There are grave fears for the others
and tonight it is believed they must
slip their anchors or drive on the rocks
when the wind changes. About 30
lives are involved.
