MILL OPERATIVES STRIKE.

Ten Thousand New Bedford Operatives
Refuse to Work atthe Reduced Scale.
New Bedford, Mass, Jan. I7-MiIl
operatives to the number of 10000 struck
this morning. All the looms and splndles
in the town are silent, and the mill hands
are wandering the sidewalks in the bitter
cold. The AZ mills of New Bedford, it is
claimed, have been paying a dividend on
the investment for the past year while
mills of other places have barely paid
expenses. The New Bedford mills,
therefore could maintain the scale better
than any others and the workers were
more justified in refusing to accept re-
duction.
At 6:3o this morning the engineers and
fremen we're on hand ready to start up
the works. The whistles were blown at
7 o'clock but no operatives appeared.
The treasurers and clerks were also at
their Offices early so as to be on hand in
case of an emergency.

Senator e. o. wolcott of Colorado Gives q
Report of His European Trip.
Washington, 17-In accordance with
the notice given last week, Senator VOL
colt made an official statement of the
European trip of the bimetallic commits
sion last year After reviewing in detail
the feeling among the Republicans to
fulfil the pledges of the St. Louis plat
form and assuring his hearers that the
commission had the earnest admnistrat-
i've support, Mr.. Wolcott proceeded to
refer in general terms to the interviews
with the leading European statesmen.
He raped the British press severely and
characterized it as brutal and hostile,
respecting the proposals of France and
| America.
Mr.. Wolcott declared that the vital
point in the negotiation with Great Brit
ain was the Indian mints. He made an
elaborate explanation of the different
proposals, the substance of which has
been given in the press reports. The
senator said that the unfortunate coinci-
dence of the negotiation of the b.metallic
commission and the tariff legislation was
very harmful to the former. The COM
mission steadily declined to discuss the
bimetallic question and tariff and was
careful not to make one dependent upon
the other.
The senator said that the commission
was also embarrassed by statements made
by New York bankers in England to
English officials, assuring them that
though the bimetallic sentiment formerly
existed, it was now dead and the com
mission was sent as sop to the far
western Republicans. Mr.. Wolcott de-
MED this statement vigorously. In sum
marizlng his statements, MIR. Wolcott
said:
England finally and expressly refused
to open the English mints to silver or to
alter the existing gold standard. She
declined to open the Indian mints to the
coinage of silver basing the refusal
specifically upon the lack of certainty
that France and the United States could
maintain parity of the metals at the
rate suggested"
England invites further proposals and
closes with a statement that an inter.
national agreement is still feasible. Dur.
ing his speech Mr.. Wolcott said that the
president never endorsed Secretary
Cages plan and said that his bill would
reach limbo long before it reaches the
senate. at is premature to discuss
Cages Republicanism,' said Mr.. Vol.
colt, "for his advent into the party and
the cabinet were practically contempor
aneous."
