The Mallory Steamer Will Not Be
Able to Get Away I'm
til Sunday.
COTTON MEN NOW ARE ALL OUT.
Mallory Apt to Send Italians MOnday-Did
Not Parade Yesterday Delay
to Shippers.

The strike yesterday, so far as the
Mallory hands and cotton men were
concerned, amounted virtually to a
total suspension of work, and all of
Captain Churchill's gangs, except a
few white men, which he had en-
pIoyed in an emergency, were out.
Idle negroes, apparently regardless
of the fact that they would not be in
cluded in the pay rolls of Saturday
night, loitered about the streets all
day, and the all day meeting of the
strikers continued at Odd Fellows
hall.
The Mallory people had to abandon,
once for all, their intention of getting
the ship out today. They announced
to those who inquired, that the Color
ado would probably sail on Sunday
morning. This will, including the
necessary stop at Port Royal, put her
into New York on Wednesday-three
days late.
The steyedore tried to handle cot
ton yesterday, but it was slow and up
hill work. All the crew Of the steam
ship, as we'll as the officers, were at
work on the DOCK and struggled all
day with the cotton bales. Even if the
ship gets off by Sunday morning 1t
Will probably be without a full cargo.
1t was positively stated yesterday
that the Rio Grande, on Monday,
would bring fifty Italians to insure
her loading on time. The Italians
will be taken back to New York on
the ship. The local agents will ask
the police to see that the negroes do
not interfere with the imported hands
when they are put to work on Monday
morning.
At Captain Churchill's ships yester-
day there .w&s very little and very,
slow work. Only a few white men
were at work. All the negroes, either
through sympathy or intimidation,
refused to help. What Captain
Churchill's intentions are is not
known, but it is believed that he will
spring surprise on the strikers by
having an imported gang at work to-
day.
1t was reported yesterday that the
longshoremen would strike on Mon
day, thus tying up the lumber ship
pers. This, however, could not be
confirmed. Downing's men appear
fully satisfied, and there is no danger
of their going out.
The parade of the strikers did not
materialize yesterday. 1t is said that
it will occur today, and that the lead
ers will make speeches, explaining
their position and demands, at an open
air meeting in Windsor park.
The rumor that the military COM
manding officers of the city had been
instructed to hold their companies in
readiness for the riot alarm at any
time, proved to be a fabrication.
There has not been sufficient provoca-
tion for such an announcement, and
there is little indication that anything
beyond an occasional fight will occur
There was no work done on the
Johnston line steamship Albion yes
terday. Agent Strachan was unable
to secure any workmen whatever. He
SAID last night that the delay did not
involve any pecuniary loss to the COM
pany, but was damaging to the bust :
ness Of the port. 1t is said that the
Johnston line will import a large
gang of men on Monday.
Captain Churchill had two special
deputies sworn In yesterday to keep
tho afrik orc from IntarfarinO o wit a tho
few men he had at work. Two strIk-
