NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. "a
There is no change In the strike sltua-
tion. No attempt will be made to start
the striking cloth mills. and no excite
ment is expected at any Of the mills.
Yesterday was a day of rest for strik-
ing operatives, although they had had
a week of rest previously. During the
rainy morning they kept within doors,
but the bright sunshine of the afternoon
brought them out in large numbers. and
they congregated in knots on the street,
discussing the situation.
Practically the only news of the day
was contained 10 the meeting of the
executive council of the National Mule
splnners' union. held in Boston.
Secretary Ross of the local union, who
Is also secretary OF the national union,
said. on his return to this city, that the
national executive committee did not
recede from the position adopted at
the last meeting, of keeping the strike
centered in one place as much as pos
sible.
To this end It was decided to refuse
permission TO strike TO the King Philip
spinners. who are now out in FAN River
thereby Withdrawing the sanction Of the
national body to their action.

Crowned tho strasboure statue.


PARIS. Jan. 24-In anticipation of the
prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstration,
under the direction of the organization
committee Of the anti-Dreyfus meeting
at the Tivol Vauxhall last Monday
night, stringent measures were taken
by the authorities TO preserve order.
The Place de la Concorde and the gar
dens of the Tuileries We're held by de-
tachments of infantry and large forces
of police. Nothing happened until 2
o'clock In the afternoon, the time an
nounced for the meeting TO protest
against the ro-Dreyfus agitation in
the Sale des Miles COLONIES. in the
Montparnasse quarter.
The approaches to the hall were oc-
cupied by police and mounted Republic
an guards, while the precaution was
taken OF removing all chairs from the
interior. The police refused admission
to known anarchists, but many who
were less prominent evaded police Wig
ilance. gained admission and created
disturbance.
NJ. Thiebaud was elected TO the chair,
and the noisiest disturbers Of the pro-
ceedings were expelled from the hall.
M. Thiebaud proposed that a wreath
should be laid on the Strasbourg statue,
and the proposal was greeted with cries
of "Vive rarmee" and "Vive Ia France
AS the disturbance continued. Nj. THE
baud got a motion adopted to close the
meeting.
The wreath was then placed in a car
riage. but the police refused to allow
the crowd to follow in a body and di-
vided IL into small groups In the
meantime the anarchists tried in vain
to organize a fresh meeting.
The wreath was placed upon the stat

NEWS OF THE STRIKE
The National Spinners' Union
Meets at Boston.
10 FOCUS FIGHT At NEW BEDFORD.
The Organizations In All the MIL Cen
ters WIZ BE Assessed to Help the
Strikers There-LowelI Weavers
Getting Into shape.

BOSTON, Jan. 24.--The center Of the
interesting scenes in the textile troubles
of New England temporarily shifted
from New Bedford to this city yester-
day and was contained In the meeting
Of the executive council OF the National
Splnners' union. This meeting was
called to consider the strike situation
In New Bedford and also the matter OF
the Fall River mills and other mills in
New England where strikes or lockouts
are imminent or have already taken
place.
The trouble in the Waterville mills
was brought TO the attention OF the
committee. A Is per cent reduction In
wages was proposed in Waterville by
the mill owners, but a conference was
held and a compromise made on 10 per
cent. A strike is anticipated, for there
is much indignation over any reduction
whatever in wages. A cut Of more than
10 per cent viii surely result In a strike.
If there Is one the strikers win be sup
ported by the local union as long as
possible. Then the national organiza-
tion win take a hand.
The meeting was one Of discussion ra-
ther than action. although it was re-
solved to concentrate all the efforts of
the organization on the New Bedford
situation, leaving the Fail River trou-
Bile and the difficulties In other cities
for local unions to handle and adjust
If possible.
The principal feature OF the discuss
sion was the denunciation of the Ark
wright club and tSe charge that that
organization Of mill treasurers and
agents conspired with Agent Chase OF
the King Philip mill Of Fall River TO
substitute ring for mule spinners. There
seemed TO be some difference Of opinion
as to whether Agent Chase was a will
ing party to what was called the con-
spiracy or had been forced into It by
the ArlSwright club. It was. however,
generally accepted as a fact by the
meeting that the astempt to put in the
ring frames was merely an entering
wedge to put them in every mill in Fall
River.
The spinners say that the machines
do inferior work and that their intro
duction in other mills IN New Bedford
has not been profitable to the mill own
ers. In mills where the ring frames
have been placed no dividends have
been paid. An instance was cited Of
one mill that had been shut down for
y
/ demand for its products after machin-
/ cry took the place Of men.
! The New Bedford strike situation was
! fully discussed. and the general opinion
seemed to be that the settlement Of the
/ trouble would be a long time in coming.
In fact. Secretary Ross said that he did
not look for its solution until far into
/ the summer. If indeed it came then.
The organization there has a strong
/ backing. and il developed that the OPP
eratives had anticipated the trouble SO
fer ahead that an assessment Of sc
cents n week had been levied and paid
/ for nearly two years.
Notwithstanding this fund. the or
ranizatlons IN all the mill centers will
/ be assessed to help the New Bedford
strikers. and Fall River will contribute
as well as others.

RIotInr I'm tho Chamber.

PARIS, Jan. 24.--It is agreed on all
sides that Saturdays scene in the
chamber of deputies. when troops had
to queI a riot over the Dreyfus case,
was almost without precedent, except
the recent disturbances in the Austrian
reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count
Badeni former Austrian premier, wit
messed It. He must have felt quite at
home.
After the chamber was cleared 125
torn off neckties were picked up. to-
gether with many coats that had been
torn by deputies from each others
shoulders. NJ. Clovis Hughes, one Of the
deputies for the department of the
Seine, had a door slammed on his fin
gers, which were so mutilated that he
is now i'm the hands Of a surgeon. The
scene of fighting around the tribune was
unparalleled.

MOBBINC THE JEWS.
Anti-Semitic Riots Are Raging
In Algiers Now.
CITY IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Troops with Drawn Swords Charge the
CrOwd-RevoIvers and Daggers Used
with Fatal Enect-shops Pnlaged
and the Loot Burned.

ALGIERS, Jan. 24.-Anti-Jewish riots
are in full blast here. A mob yester-
day invaded the Jewish quarter and
pillaged the shops in the Rue Baba-
zoum, driving the Jewish merchants in
to the streets. A squadron of chas-
seurs was ordered to the scene and
charged the mob with drawn swords,
but the mob reformed farther on, cheer
ing for the army.
Revolvers and daggers were freely
used. one man who was stabbed in the
back and shot in the head died on the
spot; many We're seriously stabbed, one,
named Cayol dying from his wounds
at a o'clock in the afternoon. The crowd
hearing of this became dangerously eX-
cited, shouting. "They are numbering
usl" Death to the Jewsi" and resumed
pillaging. The fronts of six shops were
destroyed and the loot was burned. The
police repeatedly charged the rioters,
but were stubbornly resisted and were
powerless to- restore order until the
troops arrived.
Several policemen were severely mall
treated Many arrests for theft have
been made. The Jewish authorities
recommend their co-religionists to re-
main indoors. Both the men killed in
the rioting were Christians, and their
companions have sworn to avenge
them
Disturbances and the looting of Jew
ish shops continued throughout the
evening despite the efforts of the troops
to quell disorders. At 10 o'clock last
evening some Jewish flour stores were
pillaged and their contents thrown into
the streets. The zouaves then charged
the crowd with fixed bayonets and dis
persed it. A great many persons were
injured.
At the moment this dispatch is sent
the rioters are reassembling on the
| quays and setting fire to the Jewish
| spirit stores. Troops are being hurried
to the spot. Already there have been
$50 arrests The maintenance Of order
has been intrusted to the military.
