AS VIEWED IN NEW BEDFORD.
Vote for a General Strike Contrary
to Agreed Tactics.


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Feb 13-From
the point of view of the New Bedford strik-
ers, the action taken by the conference of
textile unions in Boston to-day is scarcely
likely to be received with joy, inasmuch as
it is against the policy adopted at the meet
ings OF the executive committee of National
Spinners' Union, to wit: That New Bedford
should be made the battle ground, and un-
til the conclusion of the strike here the
other textile centers should remain at work,
thereby acquiring the means to assist the
New Bedford operatives in their struggle.
Then, at the conclusion of New Bedford's
fight, the plan was, whether New Bedford
won or lost, the strike against the general
reduction should be extended in one district
at a time until the whole of New England
had been covered. In view of this plan
which at the time of its adoption seemed
to meet with general acquiescence, the ac-
ton Of the conference, it would seem, is a
direct change of tactics. The delegates to
the conference will report the new plan to
their several unions for their consideration,
and, although the Boston conference ad-
journed without date, it is presumed that
after action is taken by the unions another
conference will be called to take action in
accordance with the action of the unions.
Secretary Cunnane, of the general strike
council reports on the collections received
up to p. m, Saturday. The total amount
for the week was $1,475, as against $1,345
for the previous week, or an increase of
$130. Daniel de Leon the Socialist organ
izer, to-day closed the series of meetings
which he has addressed in the interest Of
his party. AS a result of these meetings a
branch Of the Socialist Trade and Labor AL
lance has been formed in this city. This is
the new trades union movement vouched for
by the Socialists, and its fundamental prin-
ciple is the wiping out of the capitalist
class at the ballot box, rather than the set
tlement of the differences between capital
and labor by strikes
Notwithstanding the attitude of the Trade
and Labor Alliance and the Socialists gen.
orally toward strikes, they declare that they
wish to do nothing to injure the present
strike, but after it is over they want the
Socialists to exert their influence at the
polls.

THE WEEK In CONGRESS.
Sennte's Attention Mostly Devoted to
Hawaiian Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-The Hawaiian
annexation treaty will receive the greater
share of the SeRte's attention during the
present week. The friends Of the treaty
have succeeded n securing quite general
assent from senators in charge Of other
measures that the treaty shall be given
practical right Of way until the senators
who want to spetk on it can be heard and
until a vote can be- secured, which prac-
tically will decide it's fate. The Corbett case
has right of way but the probabilities are
that an arrangement will be made early
in the week whereby time will be fixed
for voting on thu Corbett case, and that
then the consideration OF the treaty will
be allowed to proceed without material in
terruptions. There are Still some speeches
to be made in the Corbett matter and it may
be proceeded with on Monday in case no one
is prepared to spsak on the treaty SEN
ator Pettus has not yet completed his
speech in opposition to Corbett Senators
Burrows and Allen also will make opposi-
tion speeches, wlile Senators Hoar and
Spooner will address the Senate in Mr.. Cor
belts behalf. On the treaty there will be
speeches in. support of it by Senators Cor
man, Pettus, Money, Lodge and others,
while Senator Pettigrew has not yet con-
cluded his speech in opposition. 1t now
looks as if the eortihcation appropriation
bill would not be considered this week
The House will, on Wednesday, enter on
the consideration OF the bankruptcy bill
which the majority of the judiciary COM
mittee has reported as substitute for the
Nelson bill, passed by the Senate at the
extra session last summer. Under the or
der made the bill is to be debated on
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday Of this
week, and voted on on Monday OF next week
at 4 o'clock. The substitute, which, the
minority contend, practically is the old
Torrey BILL including both the voluntary
and involuntary features, will be opposed
by the united Democratic and Populist OPP
position, but If there is no appreciable de-
fection from the ranks Of the majority the
measure. will pass. The Democrats and
Populists are both favorable to the passage
Of a voluntary bankruptcy bill, but have al
ways vigorously opposed the Torrey and
other bills including an involuntary feature
claiming that its purpose is practically to
create a law for the collection of debts. To-
morrow is District of Columbia day. Tues
day probably will be devoted to the consid-
GRAFTON of such business as is reported from
the committees and a call of committees
and Friday, which was excluded from the
order providing for the consideration of the
bankruptcy bill, will, under the rules, be
devoted to private bills.

translated at the State Department to-day.
but no intmation of its import could be
secured from official sources. Assistant
Secretary of State Day, who has been in
trusted with the whole correspondence by
the President, refused to discuss the mes
sage. He said merely that there was nc
development in the case which properly
could be made public at this time In one
instance he supplemented this statement by
the remark that the mere fact Of informa-
ton being withheld was not to be taken
as serious indication Secretary Day
dined at the White House, Mrs. Day still
being out of town.
Every effort to supplement Secretary
Days statement with some information
from the White House failed. To urgent
appeals for something definite, the Presi-
dent replied thro sh Secretary Porter that
the whole matter was in Secretary Days
hands. and that the President relied on him
to haEdle the information for the press. 1t
was stated at the White House, however,
that there was no truth in the rumor of a
censure on Minister Woodford for allowing
Dupuy De LONE to forestal him in pre-
Sentlng the application for the minister's
recall. Minister Woodford's course 1t was
stated, had been entirely satisfactory, and
any criticism at this time was unfounded
and unfair.
1t could not be ascertained positively
whether or not answer to Minister
Woodford's last dispatch has been sent 1t
is almost certain, however, that reply has
been drafted, and that it was put in cipher
at the State Department this evening. Mr..
Sidney i. Smith, chief of the Diplomatic Bu-
Teau, was at the department till after 2
O'clock. Special orders had been issued
also to allow no one in the building with

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 13.-News was
received here to-day from the expedition
sent by the government last November on
whaling fleet imprisoned in the Arctic
ocean. The news was brought by the
steamship Lakme, which left Dutch Har-
Dor, Alaska, Feb. 3. The overland expedi-
tion in charge of Lieut.. d. Fl. Jarvis, left
the Bear Dec. II for Tunnorok, a native
village on the north shore of Cape Van
ccuver, and returned to Dutch Harbor
where she went into winter quarters. The
overland expedition, consisting of Lieu
tenant Jarvis Lieut.. Z. p. Bertholf Sur
geon Coll and F. K. Collschoff, guide, ex-
pected to proceed to st. Michaels, which
place they would reach in about ten days
after leaving the Bear. From St. Michaels
the overland expedition will go to Teller
Station, where reindeer will be procured
with which to make the trip to Point Bar
row. On account of the ice the Bear was
only able TO get within sixty miles of
Sledge island, where it was originally in
tended to land the overland expedition. The
Bear made the trip from Seattle to Una
laska in ten days, including delay of
twenty hours about three hundred miles
out caused by a severe storm. No special
incident attended the run to where the
overland expedition was landed. The Bear
also brings news that the bark Coloma,
which left Tacoma Sept 26 with lumber for
Dutch Harbor, had not reached her des-
tination and it is feared that she is lost
