NEW BEDFORD STRIKE.
Operatives Disappointed at the
Outlook.

NEW BEDFORD, March 5.-The end
of the seventh week of the strike in this
city finds the operatives very much dis
to suit them.
The funds of all the unions, except the
spinners, have been reduced to almost
nothing, and even the union members
have to depend upon outside relief to a
great extent While the union members
have pulled together pretty well all
through the strike, rupture is promised
soon on account of the weavers' fines
question.
The weavers have made the fines ques-
ton the primary consideration in the
strike situation, and the manufacturers
have declared that they would not lis
ten to any terms of settlement as long
as the weavers stuck to the fines issue.
This has blocked any action toward
settlement that the other four unions
might have been induced TO take, but
now the Weavers have agreed to decide
on some form of a proposition as to the
fines question to be presented before the
joint conference of WeayerS, manufac-
turers and State Board of Arbitration.
President Gompers' visit here yester-
day did not result in any assistance be-
ing promised by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and according to the strike
leaders statement this was the only re-
sources the operatives had to depend
upon to secure funds with which to fight
the matter to a finish.

annexation treaty. When the commit
tee adjourned the members refused alb
solutely to give out any information to
the press, saying that all present had
pledged themselves to absolute Sc
crecy.
II was learned through other Sena-
tors, however, that the committee had
under consideration the advisability of
taking up the question of annexation
in the way of legislation rather than
by the means Of ratifying that treaty
and that they had decided not to
abandon the treaty at least immediate
ly, but to press its consideration upon
the Senate at the first opportunity.
They declined to say even to Senators
what might be their course later, con-
fining themselves TO the declaration
that they would seek to have the SEN
ate go into executive session again for
the consideration of the treaty as soon
as the appreciation bills could be got

for more. Plumber the driver, was or
dered to pitch the Wells Fargo box OUT

behind, came around a curve just as
the robber disappeared in the brush,
but was not seen by the driver, who
was alone.
Sheriff Hicks was notified by tele-
phone when the next station was
reached, and had his deputies on the
way to the scene of the robbery within
an hour but the posse has not been
heard from.
Word was received from the agent at
Los Olivas that Wells, Fargo & Co.'S

LINCOLN AND HIS CABINET.
The Discovery He Made About
Their Appointments.

Mr. F. Ca prominent historical writer)
went to President Lincoln to get an ap-
pointment. and, being asked of what de-
nomination he was, answered that he
was Presbyterian. We'll" said Pres
ident Lincoln, Il will have to look at my
book to see" He further said: i am
not sure but the Presbyterians are fun.
1 have to do this
Mr.. Lincoln then proceeded: Bishop
Simpson was here the other day COM
planning of my Cabinets giving all the
appointments to Episcopalians. I did not
know anything about my Cabinet. l
thought Blair a good old Presbyterian
name, and as for Seward, l didn't know
until / went to church with him that he
was an Episcopalian."
President Lincoln had said to Bishop
Simpson: You wait here; we are TO
have a Cabinet meeting here directly,
and 1 Will see TO it." When the Cabinet
came in he said: Here is Bishop Simp-
son making a complaint of our giving
all the appointments to the Episcopal
ianS."
Said Seward: THAT is not true Of my
department. 1 never give an appoint
ment to any man because of his denom-
ination, nor even know what he is"
Said Bishop Simpson: There was
DR.. McClintock, appointed to go to Paris,
a good Methodist, and Bishop Hughes
was put in his place. I suppose you
didn't know sir, who Bishop Hughes
was?" "Oh, I had forgotten about
him.
Well" said Blair, you've got him
there, Bishop, but there are not two in
my department that are Episcopalians." :"
Sir" said the Bishop, there are not
two that are not" Why" said Blair,
that is not true, and you may come to-
morrow morning and look for yourself. >
Il will be there at such time and
he was there. AS he went in Blair said
"Ah, Bishop, you got Seward splendidly
yesterday" Bishop Simpson said, Z
do not come to hear about him, but
about your department
Il haven't time to see about that, :"
Sir it is of more Importance than you
know. Yesterday you said there were
not two who were Episcopalians, and
said there We're not two that were not
Episcopalians'; and so he forced him to
look at it, and he found that the Bishop
was correct, and that there were lot two
that were not Episcopalians.
All this Mr.. Lincoln said TO Mr.. f, who
communicated it to one Uf the best
known citizens of this country. a man Of
unimpeachable veracity, and equal ac-
curacy, who communicated it to US
Christian Advocate.

SEATTLE (Wash), March 5.-The
steamer Bessie K, which left San Fran
cisco for Alaska recently, is a wreck
about 100 miles north of Victoria.
A passenger who arrived here to-day
from Alaska on the steamer City of
Seattle, has informed Agent Grammar
of the steamer Bessie X that the wreck
passed by the City of Seattle north of
Victoria, which was reported last night,
had all the appearance of being the
Bessie K, seven days overdue. The
wreck lies lOO miles north of Victoria,
on the rocks, and there are no indica-
tions of any survivors.
The Bessie K. is owned by j. S. Kim
ball & Co. of San Francisco and left
that port for Alaska with a heavy load
of freight and passengers. She has a
capacity of 100 passengers and 200 tons
of freight, and was scheduled to leave
here for Dyea on March 1st.
She is supposed to have been wrecked
on her voyage south, having been in
the track of the late disastrous storm
that swept the northern coast. So con-
fident is Agent Grammar that she is
lost that he has arranged to send the
passengers booked for her next trip
north on the Navarro.
Owing to the fact that the Bessie K.
was coming south, it cannot be learned
at present how many passengers she
was carrying.

CHICAGO. March 5.-The Times

win F. Klebbs, professor of pathology
and bacteriology in the post graduate
medical school, claims to have discov-
cred the cause of yellow fever AS a
result Of a series of experiments extend
ing over two months, he has isolated
the amoeba, which he says is respon-
sible for the disease, and he has been
able to trace its developments through
a number of stages in the various or
gans of the body
The germ is not bacillus, but an
amoeba. 1t causes Inflammation of
the stomach when swallowed, and then
in the duodenum it assumes a sporus-
tin form, appearing here much like a
blackberry. From there it migrates
to the liver, where it appears as large
structurous body, about twice the size
of the red blood corpuscles. It's effect is
a rapid degeneration of the liver cells.
