were made after the Maine disaster con-
corning wounded and missing sailors
were referred to him, and for nearly
two weeks he worked on an average Of
30 hours a day, which is much more
time than naval officer is usually ex-
pected to give to his work in time Of
peace. Since then the movements Of the
ships have been so active that he and
his assistants have found little time to
devote to Washington society, billiards
and other amusements which ordinarily
are necessary to help naval officers kill
time. Commander Dickins is native
of Duchess county, N. Y, and was
graduated from the Naval academy in
1864, just in time to get "baptism Of

81 LONDON, Nov. 5.-The banquet to
General Kitchener, the sirdar of Egypt,
was an exceptionally brilliant affair,
about $50 Of the most prominent men in
English public life being present. The
event was of greater Importance be-
cause of the presence Of Lord Salisbury,
the premier, who, it was whispered, had
an important and grave statement to
make regarding the Fashoda question.
His remarks proved important, but were
pacific in nature, as he announced Set
Element of the chief difficulty with
France. In toasting the sirdsr the pre-
1nier said in part:
mo one can wonder at the vast en-
thusiasm by which the career of this
great soldier has been received, espe-
cially when we consider the
Strange Dramatic Interest
of the circumstances and conditions
amid which his laurels were won by the
sirdar. Besides being splendid soldier
he is also splendid diplomatist. It
must have required unusual talents sue
cessfully to carry out the delicate mis-
sion up the Nile which conducted him
into the presence of Major Marchand.
1.-THE sirdar has recently expressed the
hope that the difficulties arising from
the presence of Major Marchand may be
within the power Of diplomacy to ad-
just. am glad to say that up to GER
tain point he has proved true prophet.
''This afternoon received from the
French ambassador the information
that the French government has come
to the conclusion that
Tho Occupation Of Fashods
is of no sort of value prolonged laugh
ter and cheers] and that they thought in
the circumstances that to persist in an
occupation which would only cost them
money and do harm, merely because
some bad advisers thought it might be
disagreeable to an unwelcome neighbor,
would not show the wisdom with which,
as think, the French republic has been
uniformly guided.
"They have done what believe every
government would have done in the
same position-resolved that the occu-
patton must cease. Cheers.] must
not be misunderstood as saying that all
causes of controversy are removed.
Doubtless there will be many discussions
between us, but somewhat acute and
somewhat dangerous cause of differ
ences has been removed"

THOUSANDS TO STRIKE
All the New England Cotton Mill
Workers Called Out

Workers Called Out
BosToN, Feb. 14-At a meeting yes
terday in this city of ffty-five repre-
sentatives of textile unions in New
England it was unanimously voted to
recommend that all unions call out the
operatives in every cotton mill in New
England
1t was pointed out that if the
strikers at. New Bedford could hold
out for four weeks without receiving
more than twenty cents per operative
per week in the way of outside assist
ance, other mill operatives could stand
a similar strain, and that if all went
out it would precipitate q crisis that
would have to be met within a short
time by the manufacturers
It now remains for the various ma.
tional unions to take action on the
recommendation, but what this action
will be is matter of conjecture. II
all should acquiesce and vote to strike
147, 900 operatives would undoubtedly
cease work, and the manufacture Of
cotton goods throughout New England
would be at standstill. If, on the
other hand, only a few unions should
vote to strike the refusal of the others
would still keep large portion of the
mills in operation.
