MEADE TO RETIRE.
The Admiral at Outs with the
Navy Department Ramsay
to Succeed Him.

WASHINGTON, May 9, 1S95.-Rear Ad-
miral Meade has been detached from
command of the North Atlantic squadron
at his own request and has asked to be
placed upon the retired list next month.
Admiral Ramsay, now Chief of the Navi-
cation Bureau, has applied for the va
cant command.
The termination of Admiral Meade's
naval career has been expected in naval
circles for some time. For several years
his health has been at times precarious,
the result of wounds received in the
Civil War, throughout which he dis
tinguished himself, exhibiting bravery
'verging almost upon recklessness. TO
these wounds his friends attribute his
great eXcitability and nervousness, which
have kept him continually in hot. water
with the Navy Department since he was
placed in command of the home fleet last
August, month before he was promoted
to the highest naval rank.
Meade ei would 'rie not retire Until OCTOBER ),
1899, when he would reach the age limit
of 81 years, but he has taken advantage
been available to him since October. 1890.
Admiral Meade's affection has been of
long standing, but until recently he has
by the authorities in his sound judg-
ment. During his cruise in the West
Indies he has been subjected to closer
commanders -in-chief of stations, and on
at least two occasions his actions have
been emphatically disapproved by the
Navy Department., the first when, he
wrote a short letter to the Consul at
Curacao, assuming authority over him,
and the second when his endorsement
in the case of Fleet Surgeon Kershner's
failure to attend a call from a
merchant vessel was reversed by
Secretary Herbert. He took as
a personal affront the Secretary's
decision not to send him to the Kiel
Canal celebration while taking his best
ships from him temporarily, and it is
believed at the Navy Department that
Meade's formal letter of May Z. which
reached the Department yesterday. ask
ing to be detached and given a months
leave, and announcing his intention of
retiring on June II was impulsively writ
ten. That Secretary Herbert should
have so promptly complied with the re-
quest is taken by naval officers as an
Indication that he had expected Admiral
Meade's action.
Within a few hours after Secretary
Ramsay had formally applied for the
vacancy, and it is believed that Admiral
Ramsay will secure the desirable APP
pointment in a day or two, as he is the
only Rear-admiral who has had no sea
service in that grade. Admiral Walk
er having had four months at Homo
lulu in command of the Philadelphia,
where his course, it is said, did not se-
cure the hearty approval of the Adminie
stratiOn.

OLNBYVILLE'S LUNATIOS.
The Strike OF the EWeavers Brings
GenaraI Disc ster

I OLNEYVILLE, RI, May 9, 1S95.-The
strike situation here does not favor the
strikers. The mill operatives have been
expecting collapse of the stand taken
by the mill owners. They counted sure
1y ON the inability of the manufacturers
to keep their agreement to shut down
their mills on May 13, for the reasons
that orders must be filled. But now
comes the announcement that the Riv-
erside Mills will positively shut down
next Saturday afternoon. A portion of
the help in that mill went out on Mon
day for the reasons that the weavers
struck, as the mill owners do not think
it at all profitable to rum a mill if they
cannot have all the departments in op-
epation, the mills will shut down.
The bosses at the Riverside Mills have
notified the help that when the mills
are closed on Saturday they. will so re-
main until October i. This conforms
with the associated manufacturers pub

purpose in a few days, as the strike
UeS LIS TO lOOh WEAK.
The action of the National Council Of
the Textile Union yesterday in endorsing
the Atlantic Mills strike is nothing more
than could be expected, for the help went
out under full sanction of the district
council and in accordance with the con-
stitution of the. union. The quasi re-
cognition of the other strikes was
brought about by the preponderance of
the local vote in the council, Rhode Is
land having IS Of the 80 odd delegates.
The statement is made that the treas
ury of the National Textile Union is ex-
hausted, and less than S. is now on hand
This means that the strikers must depend
upon voluntary, contributions from the
operatives in other States, and lit is not
possible that they can get anywhere near
the amount they need.

the strikers began. The National fund
