Promises TO Be tho Biggest In the History
OF New EnxIand-Magnitude of the
Works Involved.
New BEDFORD. MASS, August co.
The great textilestrike, which bids fair to
prove the biggest of its kind In the his
tory OF New England, is on. Some fif-
teen of the non-union weavers, who de-
serted the strikers during the
recent Wamsutta stIike. are at
work in that mill, and few Portuguese
are working in the South End. With
these exceptions every mill in the city
Is silent and the streets are full OF op-
eratiyes who seem TO be well behaved
and cheerful. Its estimated that over
1l,00O persons have stopped work.
Meetings of the various unions were
held this forenoon and encouraging re-
ports are made.
Secretary Ross says that the members
OF his union have lined up for long
struggle. and confidently expects that
1t will be of six months duration.
FALL RIVER, MASS, August 20.-All
the mills of this city that were running
last week started up this morning, In
citation 10 take vacation.
II Is the general belief. however. that
the weavers vacation will become gen.
eral aud that all the mills will be forced
10 shut down or that the vacation will
end 10 a week.
NEW YORK. August 20.-The labor

600 spindles and 1880 looms involved.
Six Of the factories are cloth mills aud
seven are yarn mills. The following

STARVATION.
Governor Altgsd Visits the "Pretty Town Of
Pullman" and Finds That the Stories Of Priva.
ton Have Not Been Exaggsraied-A Cold,
Cruel Snub for Wickss-Will Likely Issue a
Proclamation Calling for Hslp.

CHICAGO, August 2O.-Governor Alt
geld went 10 Pullman to-day TO inves-
gate the condition Of the Pullman
communication sent to him from the
strikers stating that sixteen hundred
families are near to starvation.
The Governor, previous to his visit,
refused 10 say what action be would
take, but il was generally believed by
the strikers tnat they would receive
Immediate assistance.
Vice President Wiekes, Of the Pull
man Company, called upon Gov. Altgeld
at the latter's Office and offered TO ac-
company the executive on his trip TO
Pullman. The Governor received Mr.
Wickes very coIdly, and in manner
which was construed as direct snub,
informed the latter that be did not wish
10 go with him.
"I prefer TO go alone" said the Gov
ernor. 81 think l can find my way
about town"
Mr.. Wickes departed, apparently high
ly indignant.
The Governor made personal inves-
tigatiOn OF several cases of deStitution
and found that the story of practical
starvation had not been greatly over
drawn.
The Governor said il was the first
time he had ever been asked for aid to
help starving people, and he wanted to
think it over. He will receive the re-
lief committee OF the Pullman
strikers tomorrow, and ways and
means Of assisting the suffering will be
discussed. In all probability the meet
ing will bear fruit in proclamation
calling upon the people OF the State for
help.

WAITING FOR A DECISION.
Speaker Crisp Says the House Could
Adjourn Wednesday But for the Tariff

Speaker Crisp Says the House Could
Adjourn Wednesday But for the Tariff
Bill.
WASHINGTON, August 2O.-Speaker
Crisp returned to-day from several days
rest at Old Point Comfort, Va. He says
there is no programme for the week;
the House is merely waiting for the
Presidents action on the tariff bill. Ar
adjournment could be had by Wednes-
day, Mr.. Crisp says, IL the President
should act on the bill tomorrow. The
only legislative matter pending on
which action is hoped for, is the alco-
hol bill, now before the Senate, but
this appears to be affected by the Muir
ply resolution poStponng all tariff
legislation, aud in any event the House
would not be likely TO defer adjourn
ment for it.
Membe OF the Ways and Means COM
mittee say they do not think the Presi-
dent will let the tariff bill become a law
until the last moment, in order that the
customs officers may have all informa-
ton possible before putting the act into
effect. This would be until midnight
| not come until Tuesday.
Representative Tarsney will make no
| effort 20 push his free silyer-lead ore
bill beyond getting it on the House cal
endsr. He made the report to-day, re-
citing the passage Of the bill in the last
Congress aud as a part OF the Wilson
bill. Asit was evident no quorum was
in the house TO do business, Mr.. Tars-
ney let the bill go over until next SEES
sion. Chairman Wilson is at Long
Branch as the guest Of Representative
Isidore StraDSs.
Not fifty members were present when
the House met at 10 to-day. There
were the usual Indications that Con-
grefS was on the eve OF adjournment.
Members were crowding in from the
area in front Of the Speakers desk with
requests for unanimous consent for the
massage of bills of local interest to
them. Mr.. Sayres, chairman Of the
Appropriasions Committee, secured
unanimous consent for the considera-
tion of bill spproDriating 50, 600 for an
additional force for the collection of in
ternal revenue, and $1,000 for carrying
into effect the arbitration convention
between the United States and Venez-
uela, signed at Caracas in January last.
1t was passed without objection.
Mr.. McCreary, chairman OF the CON-
mittee on foreign affairs, asked unani-
nous consent for the consideration of a
Joint resolution congrstulating the Ha-
waiian republic on the perfect resump-
Mon Of the powers OF self government.
TIE resolYion was offered in lieu of the
BoAtelleAe solution. Owing to the alb

SAN Francisco, August 2o.-The Er.
dntiner prints the following special:
SIcHI GEN, CoREA, August 3.-A
bloody battle has just been fought at
Songhwsn. This place is the hesdquar-
ters OF the japanese general, Oshtma.
and is one Of the most important villages
of the kingdom. The Chinese have very
strong iortifcatlon at SouSbwan aud IL
600 troops are said to be stationed there.
The japanese determined TO capture the
arms aud provisions and bait the army
by clever DIT OF intrigue. They gave
out that they wers going 10 march back
TO Asan, and, In fact, they did parade
for a considerable distance 10 that di-
rection, but no sooner were they con-
vinced OF the success OF their scheme In
making the Chinese believe they had
left the settlements than they marched
with rush straight up the fOrtinca-
tlons, attacking them In a body. They
made a clean sweep OF everything In the
course OF five hours lighting.
The Chinese were unprepsred aud,
for the sake OF truth, be it known they
were "chIn-chinning" the war joss
that Is, bowing. kowtowing and hring
crackers of 10 big wooden diety set
up on cannon ball. About 1000 Chi
neso were killed in the engagement aud
20 Japanese. The Chinese. with their
usual cowardIce, deserted many Of the
Fan Kwai-foreigp devil ohicers-and
when given orders TO resist the ad-
vancs OF the enemy, Turned aud fell
upon their swords, preferring % COM
nit suicide rather than bo murdefvdbHl
the Japanese. The Japanese 3li'
GERS and men fought like tigers.
Some OF the methods OF warIsfe used
were ridiculously gruesome For In
stance the Chinese used old fashioned
s,lnkpots (bowls slung On poles, and
fled with sulphuric and other bad
smelling deadly ecids. which kill per-
haps more Quickly than ride shop.

eral impression that the bill would sure
ly become law.
These rumors Of an impending veto
also had the effect of terminating the
few members OF Congress who have all
all along stuck quietly to the hope and
belief that the President would not al
low the measure to become law, and
they rehearsed afresh the shortcomings
of the bill, thus adding TO the factors
tending TO upset
CONFIDENCE IN FAVORABLE ACTION
by the President. But while the rumors
and the renewed discussion have Great
ed uneasiuess which will only be allayed
when the bill becomes law, the number
of people who regard veto as at all
probable is very small ideed.
An explanation offered of.the circula-
tion of the veto rumors, which appears
a very probable one, is that those who
set them aAoat are working in The in
terest of the gang OF Spectators who at
every stage Of the tariff contest have
taken similar means to affect prices in
Wall street for their own benefit. -
MR.. WILSON RETURNS.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-Chairman
Wilson, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, reached Washington from Long
Branch this evening. His return
was connected with rumors that
President Cleveland would come TO
Washington at once and that some
action on the tariff bill was to be ex-
pected. Mr.. Wilson denies these state
ments but says that he looks for the
Presidents return on Thursday.
Finding so many Senators away from
the city, he does not think that
there will be any action upon
the separate tariff bills this
session. MIR. Wilson says that
his return was mainly because he
thought the Tarnsey free lead ore bill
would come up, but as so many mem
bers have gone home, he does not look
for any further legislation.
VERY LITTLE WORK TO BE DONE.
WASHINGTON, August 2O.-The ses-
sion of the House lasted less than an
hour to-day. A few unimpOrtant bills
were passeu by unanimous consent and
the House managers have decided not TO
permit any more legislation save by
unanimous consent, and the regular
programme from now until the final
adjournment will probably be the con-
sideratiOn only Of such minor bills as
encounter no objection.
