 FALL RIvEI'. Mass, Oct IO.-The man ufactuTers hero arc much disturbed and surprised over the settlement of the strike at New Bedford. as it was understood that the New Bedford manufacturers would support and act with those of Fall River Representatives of the manufacturers met to consider the situation and read n letter from Mayor COughlin stating that the city Is overwhelmed with applications for aid. nnu that many operatives have represented to him that they were willing to work but could not The mayor asked the manufactures to open the mills and al low the men to return to work meet ing of the manufacturers has been called to take action on the letter looking to q compromise.
 Prices have gone of in the print cloth market. There Is now no demand at 3 cents and very little at any price. The spinners are much dissatisfied on account of tho per cent reduction accepted by the New Bedford strikers. SeCrctary Ross is hero and says that the New Bedford manufacturers stated that the proposition made by them to tho spinnCrs was tho same as that made by the Fall River spinncrs to the manufacturers.
 The spinners here deny this. The strik- CTS here declare that the compromise in New Bedford Is sharp trick tO transfer tho strike to this city. The weavers will take no action In regard to the develop ments at New Bedford until after tho Bpinncrs' meeting tnday.
 NEW BEpF0Ep, Mas. Oct. IO-The striking sPinnCrs held n meeting to take action upon rcpOrt submitted by the conference committee, which favored n return to work Thursday under a per cent reduction. The committee was sus- taincd in is position. and tho spinners will go to work as agreed.

A man went into the cafe of a Broad way hotel the other day and sat down on n stool in front of the lunch counter. He had been in many of tho eating houses, or ''beaneries, " in tho BOwery and Park TOW and thought he was fa- miliar with the various terms which winters employ when repeating a GUS toner's order, but he had a surprise in store for him. When he had finished his luncheon, he told tho waiter he would like n meringue glace by way of dessert. The proud and naughty person behind the counter siifTened his spinal column, and in loud and commanding tones said:

Prc.IIent Mnr 1ndor.. Wheeler.

WAsHINGTOS, Oct. lO.-The wires be tween the capital and Buzzards Bay arc reported to have hcan kept pretty hot for n short time last evening. It Is probable that the news which reached hero carly sf the nomination of Mir. Everett F. Wheeler hy tho presidents New York friends as m anti llilI candidate for gov ernor formed thr burden of the messages that flashed [" tho New England coast
 It was rCpOIteL that 1t is not nt all inn probable that the president. probably by a letter such aS ho sometimes writes to political friend, accompanied by pcrmis- sion to make 1t public at tho proper time, will find occasion to say something of tho situation in New York and to pay tribute to the political integrity of the antima- chine Democrats and commend tho nOmi- nation of MT. Wheeler to the voters.
 The attitude of OK Secretary Whitney in indorsing Senator Hill is known to have caused the president n good deal of displeasure. The relations between Mcssrs. Whitney and Cleveland have not for year back been us cordial as they werc, and this latest move of MT. Whitney has tended very materially to widen the breach.
 All Officials Cautious.
 Extreme caution is tho watchword of all the administration people here with regard to the New York situation. Sec rotary Lamont, for instance, has conclud- cd not to say or do anything in the mat ter until he has consulted tho president or has seen just what his chief intends doing.
 In this connection the announcement that Assistant Secretary of the Navy Mo Adoo had decided not to make any politi- cal addresses in New York or any other state Is regarded as significant. His rcla- tions with Tnmmany arc quite cordial. but he recognizes the fact that his official head Is in the care of Mir Cleveland
 It is improbable that any of the close political associates of the president will appear in Now York state in this cam paign to espouIe the cause of Mir. Wheel. CT, which would be the only course open to them, considering the president atti- tude. It would show exactly what the presidents hand is, and this he doesn't desire to have done except by n letter which he may wish to send at his own proper time
 This contemplated letter has set tho politicians here to thinking, and they re- call with a good deal of intsr0st the letter that he sent to John K. Follows on tho occasion of Mir. Follows first nomination for tho New York district attorneyship some years ago.
 It is hintsd that Mir. Shepard or some one representing the new state ticket will visit the president at Gray Gables within a day or two, or 1t may he that they will meet Private Secretary Thurbcr in Now York city and give him a message to car ry to the prssident

elected, they would. If Mir Wheeler had not been nominated, have cast tho!r votes for the Republican stato ticket or refrain cd from voting.
 shepard men were gleeful after Mir Wheeler was nominated. What they wanted was n man who could poll enough independent votes to beat Hill When the shepard Democrats went to vote at their primaries in Brooklyn. most of them were surprised by being confront ed with petition which they were asked to sign. It was addressed to tho secretary of state and called for tho nom ination of Everett P. Wheeler Thrco thousand signatures arc required to make the nomination legal. Tho Brooklyn people werc surprised because 1t was the general understanding among them that tho nomination for gov ernor was to go to Charles =. Fairchild. His name was CanVassod, but Inc could not be induced to accept. The rcason given was that his health Is not good and also that he Is chairman of the Grace De moCracy.
 Grace Democracy Indorscs Strong.
 Tho Grace Democracy caused q scnsa- tion last night by nominating the follow ing local ticket:
 For Mnyor-William l. Strong, Re publican.
 For Rccorder-John w Golf. State Do mocracy.
 For Judgo of Superior Court-Henry R. BcCkman. State Democracy

woRK1xGMEN should keep their eyes open. Let them make a note of the facts that at the same time that several new tin plate manufactures are being constructed in advantageous localities in the United States the employees in tinPlate mills now in operation are asked to submit to a re- duction Of wages. The release of a large quantity of bonded tinplate has tempor- aTIly glutted the market, and the opper- tunity has been seized upon to squeeze the wages of employees. The changes in the tariff, while unfavorable to tindipping establishments. are advantageous to manu- facturers who make their own black sheets.
 THE falling of of the federal revenue for the month of September is not disap- pointing rt suit. The receipts for August were swrlled beyond due proportion by the heavy payments of tax upon bonded whi,key. The receipts for September were curtailed by the heavy importation of free raw sugar in expectation of the tariff duty. When the present sugar supply shall have gone into use the revenue-produclng quality of the new tariff will begin to more fully manifest itself. There is fully little doubt that by the end of the fiscal year the federal treasury will again be in a satis- f4c:ory condition.
 TuE awful catastrophe which has visited the province of Santa Clara. on the north ern coast ot Cuba, seems to have been in some way connected with the recent West India hurricane. Great floods on the island of Cuba have frequently been ob- served to closely follow the terrific cy- clones which occur in that section of the world. The province of Santa Clara has been particularly unfortunate in this re- spsrt .h.-. -,,I;uus storm in Septem- Der, 1888, the town of Sagua. one of the places now mentioned as having been in- undated to depth of from IS to 45 feet, was almost completely destroyed.
