SECOND SECRET MEETING.
QUIET AT THE OTHER FACTORIES

There is still no change in the situa.

There was considerable discussion in
regard 70 the advisability OF securing
speakers from New Bedford snd holding
an open meeting in the hall to discuss
the situation, but ii wns finally decided
that 1t would bs inadvlvasble to do so az
present, and after deciding to hold an
other meeting next Monday Afteraoon the
strikers quietly dispersed.
Manv OF tho strikers spent yesterday
in trying to obtain employment In the
other mills in the valley. but in nearly
al. cases thew were unsuccessful, as fat
present there is an abundance of help IN
all OF the manufactures
AT the office Of the mill this morning
it was stated that there had been no great
change since yesterday. although there
were a few less operatives ut work. but
the strikers had made no trouble and had
ns general thing kent away from the
vicinity Of the mill. In reply to the
question IL the mill would be shut down
touav, it WAS SAID that the machinery
would 10 kept in operation during the re-
mainder OF the week, nut that II the
strikers did not return to work before
Monday the mill would probably be shut
down on that day.
At Cromptop there was no sign OF
any trouble ana the reports of strike
which we rescrculated in the ley vester-
day probably emanated from the imagi-
nation OF tie CentreviIle strikers.
The operatives in all of the valley M ills
are very indignant over the utterance of
a prominent Jericho merchant who, It is
alleged, said at the meeting OF tie War
wick mill corpuration last week that 81 q
Gay was enough TO pay the operatives in
any mill. The operatives have already
partially boycotted his place Of business,
and he, as well as the ether business men
in Jericho ana Centreville, are already
feeling the effects Of the strike.
At the knights mills there u no sign
OF trouble and ths mills Of the Hope,
Coventry and QuidnicK companies are
running rs quietly ms before the reduc-
tion, and there Is no indication of .
strike at either Of the mills.

The Frigate Bird.

Many sailors believe that the fri
gate bird can start at daybreak with
the trade winds from the coast Of
Africa and roost the same night
upon the American shore. Whether
this is fact or not has yet to be de-
termined; but it is certain that the
bird is the swiftest of winged
creatures, and is able to fly, under
favorable conditions, 200 miles an
hour. Brother Weldon should cap
ture few to add to his homing
pigeon loft.

The Japanese will send their agents
to the States and there purchase the

will then sell their goods in Hawaii

and they claim that they soon can
