THE oLNEYvlLLE STRIKE.
Report That the Mills Win Be Opened With
 Canadian Operatives.

Canadian Operatives
 PROVIDENCE, Juno I.-Arrangements have been completed for 0 mass meeting at Olnsyville this afternoon. F. T. Cahill and Mrs Merryfeld and Messrs McCar- thy and Maroney of tho Central Labor union of Boston will speak. Personal in- yitations to be present have been sent to the Manufacturers clubs members and members of the independert committee, with a request that they exp.ain why the operatives should go to work under tho present conditions.
 The committee appointed to make a per sonal canvass of the Atlantic mill opera tives report that they were able to find on- Iy two persons who wanted to return to work under the present conditions
 The strikers have received S2. OO0 this week, including checks from the male and female garment workers. the steam cut ters and pressers' unions of Boston. 4 letter from Waltham asks for more help. Today l2 families will start for Maine under charge of one of the late oversoers | of the Atlantic mills, who accepted a posi- | ton in Maine with the understanding that he secure positions for some of his | former help.
 The strike committee are considering l the approaching crisis when the mills re- open on Monday morning. The commit ke claim to have been greatly helped just at this time by the increase in wages nt the Washington mills at Lawrence, Mass, ., which manufactures the same class of | goods as the Riverside mills at Olneyville. The announcement here of the increase at | Lawrence had the effect of fixing the de- termination of those operatives who had been wavering and of encouraging the others to finish the fight they have begun. It is now argued that If the Lawrence | mills can advance wages tho Olneyville | manufacturers can do so too.
 The strikers committee stated today that 1t has been notified that the manu facturers had sent agents to Quebec to pro cure nonunion French weavers to insure tho running of the mills on Monday. The committee has engaged a lawyer, and il
 any foreign labor is imported the manu
 lecturers will be prosecuted under th' | alien contract labor law,

RESCUED FROM RATS.
Eleven More of the Colima's Passenger
 Are Saved.

Arc SaNeds
 SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 1.-Ths Torebod- ings of the friends of the passengers and crew of the Colima were exceedingly gloomy, and few cherished any hope of the survival of those hitherto unaccounted for. The Pacific Mail company declared that 1t had received absolutely no word from the scene Of tho disaster. Mrs. Cush- ing. mother of the two young men who were passengers, received Q message from the son picked up by the San Juan dated Mazatlan, as follows:
 Am here, returning on San Juan" Late in the afternoon a message was re- ceIved by Mrs. Peters, whose son Louis was a passenger for Guatemala. The tele- gram, dated Guatemala, was unsigned, | but is presumed to be from Mrs. Peters husband, who resides in Guatemala. It was as follows:
 Louis is safe on the Barracouta." Another dispatch to a private shipping | firm from Guatemala states that the steamer Barracouta, which has been Cruis- l ing about tho scene of the wreck in search of survivors, has picked up n raft with nine passengers from the ColimaI Peters being among the number.
 The Barracouta has not yet put into port, but the Pacific Mail officials suggest that the vessel probably signalod a smaller vessel, which put into port to convey the news of the rescue to the nearest town and thence telegraphed to Guatemala. The latest news received here up to 5 o'clock was contained in the following message:
 "CoLIMA, Mexico May 3l.-Six surviv. ors of the steamer COlima have reached here They are John Thornton, k. k. CEilherg of Seattle. cabin passengers; Pc ters and Vindor and Seamen Gonzales and Johnston. They are said to have reached shore on a raft. and another raft with five men Is reported from San Tel mo"
 Tho survivors state that tho women and children were all in the statorooms, and all went down with the steamer. Tho sur yivors also report that Purser Wafer wa: seen in a well manned boat pulling away from the sinking steamer toward shore It is supposed that this boat is still afloat
 CITY OF MEXICO. June l.-The Pacific Mail Steamship company is severely cen sured for overlooking and bad placing O cargo on the Colima to which is attribut cd the rapid sinking of the steamer.
 Los ANGELES, June IA mistake ha been made in the identity of Passenger c A. k. Ormc, who wont down in the Coli ma. He was a wealthy Englishman, member of tho Junior Constitution club 0 London and a great traveller. For si, months before the disaster he lived in thi city with friend, F. :. Hulchins. H purchased his ticket for New York in thi city and went to San Francisco to talk the Colima. He has n sister, Mrs. Wilson and a friend named Blair. banker, in Sa Francisco. He has been around tho worl three times.

HOW TO TREAT cAcTI.

 ding at First.
 When plants of cacti are received from the dealers, cut of the dead roots, have ready four or five inch pots half filled with charcoal or broken crockery, or both. Over this place the soil, which should be quite sandy. Plant your cacti close together in the sand, and as soon as abundant roots are formed plant in small pots of sandy soil The pots ought only to be large enough to hold the roots Be very careful not to oyerwater at any time, especially before the pot is well filled with roots If cacti are given this treatment and the plants are healthy when received. there need be no dread of failure. When tho plants have made good growth. they may be moved to large pots, giving good soil The secret of success is to get an abundance of roots It is an excellent plan to plant a dozen or more different sorts i'll a pot or box inches in depth and or inches in diameter.
 If all cacti growers would study the habits of the different varieties as they thrive in their native homes, there would be no cause for complaint on ac- count of failure. for when acquainted with their habits they are the easiest plants to be cared for. Mexico produces moro than half the varieties of the cacti in cultivation, and nearly all of them grow on the ground best drained by na- ture-from the highest mountain peaks down to the tableands. After a rain not single drop of stagnant water is left around the plant. Some of the vari- cities delight to grow between the rocks without any visible earth to feed the plant, and among these are seen many curious forms. >The plants when fofcibly pulled out appear so pressed that they seem to have been nodded.
 Another peculiarity is that the ma 1 jority of cacti arc found on the south | side of the mountains, and in their na- tive hauntS will stand q year or more | without rain, but as hardy as the plants appear in this respect most kinds will not stand any rough handling or bruis- ing. After they have been bruised they will appear sound for awhile, but will eventually rot when in the hands of an amateur who endeavors to revive them by frequent watering. Obtain good, sound plants. ascertain if possible whether the different varieties are found in the shady forests of South America or the hot sandy plains of Mexico and treat accordingly, handle the various specimens carefully, give thorough drainage and water sparingly, and sue cess will be assured.
