THE STRIKE AT NEW BEDFORD
to Call out 10000 Adj
ditiOnal Operatives.

New Bedford. Mass, Feb lG.-The pro
position has been under consideration by
the local labor leaders for several days
to call on strike Of the employees of all
the yarn mills of the city, which would
bring into idleness 10000 additional oper-
aties. or a total of 100000.
This proposition is Independent of that
for general strike all through New En-
GLAND and the effect of the movement,
it is claimed would be such serious me-
mace to the local banks that it would re-
suit in overtures for a settlement of all
the present difficulties by the manufac-
trrers, whose interests are allied with
those of the citys institutions.

BIG STRIKE IN PROSPECT.
THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND.
Representatives of Textile Unions
Favor the Closing of Every Cot
ton MiiI-The Plan of the Fedora
tiO0 of Labor-Workers to De-
eide.

Boston, Feb. 14.-At meeting in this
city of 90 representatives of textile unions
in New England it was unanimously vot-
ed to recommend that all unions call out
the operatives in every cotton mill in
New England.
The resolution was practically the out
come of the recommendation which Presi-
dent GOmpers made to the Federation of
Labor last Sunday, i'll which he urged the
different unions to unite on some settled
policy on the mill situation in New En-
gland AT that meeting a committee OF
four was appointed to take charge of the
matter. and after Il conference this com
mittee recommended that general meet
ing be held to take definite action
Today the representatives of the various
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint, The primary object of
the meeting was to devise some methods
of rendering assistance to the New Bed
ford strikers. Ii was pointed out that if
the strikers at New Bedford could hold
out for four weeks without receiving more
that 20 cents per operative per week in
the way of outside assistance other mill
operatives could stand similar strain.
and that if all went out i would precipi
tate "a crisis that would have to be met
within Il short time by the manufacturers.
1t was also shown that the mule spinners
were in excellent condition as regards
funds, the United Textile Workers and
the New England Federation of Weavers
were in good shape, but the rest were
short of funds.
The resolutions were discussed and at
length the matter was put to vote, not
one being registered against the motion
that the different unions should inaugur-
ate general strike in every mill until
satisfactory adjustment of wages could
be arranged. 1t now remains for the vari-
Gus national unions to take action in the
matter, but what this action will be is a
matter of con lecture. If all should &C
Quesce and vote to strike, l47,00O Oper-
atives would undoubtedly cease work, and
the manufacture of cotton goods through
out New England would stop. If, on the
other hand, only a few unions should vote
to strike the refusal Of the others woulc
still keep large portion of the mills il
operation.
Inasmuch, however, as the meeting wa
the outcome of President Gompers' sus
gestion, and as he admonished the mem
bers of the Federation of labor to JON
hands and assist the New Bedford strik
ers, it seems probable that nearly ever.
union will carry out the recommendations
and that one of the greatest strikes ever
seen in this country is impending.

UP THE SNAKE RIVER BASIN.
Track Would he Built on the North
side of the River.

lewiston Idaho. Feb. Isl. Alexan-
der, prominent merchant, has received
a telegram from high railroad source
that the o. r. & n. would Immediately
commence operation on the extension OF
a railroad line to Lewiston. 1t has been
understood to be the boast of the O. II. &
n that when the Northern Pacific enter
ed this field the former company would
show a bitter competition, and the infor-
nation received today is the general sub
lect of discussion on the streets. The
company will probably extend their line
from Wallula up the Snake river val
ley, tapping the grain territory of the
high lands by chutes, as several surveys
by that route have already been made,
BY that route the road would run on the
north side of the Snake river and cross
the Clearwater river to Lewiston.
Discussion of the matter has developed
the fact that two weeks ago Il party Of
c. b. & Q. surveyors left Uniontown for
the Pierce City country to work on the
western approach to the Lo Lo pass This
company has had a survey party working
on the Montana side for some time past
but recently returned to Billings, owing
to heavy SHOWS. 1t is stated that they
will resume work April |, and will join
the party from this side on the Lo 10
/ trail some time during the coming sum
mer, completing the survey. Billings Is
! now the western terminus of the c. B. &
/ O. and it is generally understood to be
! the policy of the company TO push the
/ line to the coast as soon as the most pmc
/ ticable and direct route could be deter
mined. The attention given the Lo IL
pass by the company recently seems t.
give substantial support to the belief tina
that route has been accepted, in which
event the road will penetrate the Pierre
City mining region and drop down int
the Clearwater valley, and by way o
Lewiston, proceed to Portland, throug
the Columbia basin, making the shortes
transcontinental route to the coast b.
SO hours.

SEALING SEASON A FAILURE
british and American Captains Are
Much Discouraged.

San Francisco, Feb. l6.-The sealing
fleet this season is small and the outlook
is not encouraging. Captain O'Leary OF
the schooner Geneva reports that seals are
very scarce and wild and the weather
very unsuitable for sailing. Captain A.
Nelson of the schooner Mary Taylor lost
seven of his men by desertion and had to
put into port for repairs. He also says
that few seals are to be found and pre-
diets a light catch. 1t is stated that the
Cox & Marvin sealing fleet of Victoria, i.
c., will not be put in commission this year
although sailors and hunters have been
engaged 1t is not known whether the
precautions taken by the United States
to prevent poaching have had anything to
do with the retirement of this fleet OF
British sealers.

shall deem it advisable to strike. Such being the case, it is difficult to see how the war can be of long du- ration, even If Spain attempts to hold out to the last, whereas the probability is that that nation will sue for peace as soon as another de- cisive blow shall be struck. The advent of the rainy season appears to be the only thing that possibly can prolong the war until fall, and present indications are that even the rains will not be sufficient to prevent hostilities.
 The early closing of the war, and the surrender of Cuba by Spain, would find this nation in a position to enjoy period of great prosperity, for which conditions even now seem to be exceedingly favorable.

A DEWEY GUN.

Mir. Joe A. Franklin has invented a Dewey gun. It is small toy pis- tol with a pulley arrangement and a Spanish and U nited States flag. The Spanish flag is placed at the top and when the gun is fired the American flag flies to the top of the mast. It is a very clever and cute device and over 10000 of the toys are being manufactured.
