An Italian Sought 10 CjIlect Debt Due
Him.

A little Italian fellow furnished amusement
for those on Westminster street for about ten
minutes just before noon today. Near the
Arcade he met a man with a bicycle. and the
man he afterward said owed him money. At
any rate he constituted himself client, lawyer
and sheriff forthwith and proceeded to attach
the wheel by taking firm hold Of IL with one
hand saying ''Pay-a me det.mon-a, keep-a
de wheel-a." The crowd gathered and long
argument followed. A police officer soon
arrived and commenced an investigation.
Another argument followed, and was Of such
a nature as TO keep the crowd in good humor.
1t ended by the policeman bringing the at
tachment to foroible termination and telling
the italian TO 60 10 n lawyer IL he wanted to
get what the man with the wheel owed, but
the Italian said he "had-a no mona for de
law" aud he would keep IA de wheel-a." AS
soon rs the policeman went away the man
with the wheel started to do the same. but
the Italian was not so easy. and re-attached
the wheel. More fun followed and 10 was
ended by another officer arriving and sepa-
rating the two men. The man with the wheel
rodc away and the Italian remained on the
edge of the sidewalk, saying things in various
languages.

country suffered through the Cuban war
became so onerous that my predecessor
thade an effort to bring about peace
through the mediation of this govern

honorable adjustment Of the contest be-

the basis OF some effective scheme OF self

mother country. and then only on such
terms as Spain herself might see ht-- to
grant.
The war continued unabated. The re-
sistanoe OF toe insurgents was IN no wise
diminished. The efforts Of Spain were
added TO both by the dispatch of fresh
levies to Cuba and by the addition to the

The scene at the Acushnet mill gates

work. There were many others who vent

ails, prepared ~ go In II majority OF
the ci ovid did 30. Thesa hung around
and swelled the crowd which focked to
the gates. but they did not 40 In.
1T Is not the going in, but the coming
ont was the sentiment expressed by u
number Of those who appeared TO be
anxious to NO to work, and this appeared
TO bo the general verdict.
The crowo at the Acushnet gates was
larger than ut any other point. All the
gates on the promises were wide open,
but the principal crowd was stationed at
the main entrance on Front street. Many
OF those who went into the mill took ad-
vantage OF this fact and entered by the
small gate.
lite speed was started mp promptly on
tlue and the big wheels continued to
turn all the morning. Through the
windows the looms could te seen run
ming, and an occasional weaver at work
passed by the window.

care to make any statement concerning
the condition Of things. "You have

the beamsrs and web-drawers on Satur-
day evening. at which it was voted to
stay out but in spite of this half the
beamers and q majority OF the web
drawers went to work this morning.
Ihore Was no crowd at the gates. and no
sign OF disturbance. The leaders OF the
strike, including Chairman Laraby, who
has said emphatically at the strikers
meetings that bs would never 60 back

crowd today. In some rooms there was

VERY LITTLE DISORDER.
STATEMENT OF A MILL AGENT.

New Bedford, Mass, April 11.-After IL
weeks shut down the cloth mills threw
open their gates to the striking operatives
this morning. The success or failure of
the experiment Is difficult to determine
Large crowds gathered at all the mills
but In most cases but a small number en-
tered the factories. Many of these who
remained. out carried dinner pals. There
Vas no disorder other than jeering ana
Kissing those who ventursd within the
gates.
Only one arrest was made and that at
the Acushnet mill gates 1he Whitman
mills are running without their full
c0mpiemeut OF help. IL is true but with
sufficient operatives to assure their opera
tion. At the Pierce mill Office also 1t is
stated the number OF help warrants the
continuance OF work. AT the Wamsutta
an immense crowd congreReted. Perhaps
$50 Of nearly 1000 employees went to work.
The agents claim larger number of re-
turning operatives. Supt Laugshaw of
the Dartmouth, states that the situation
is much better than he anticipated. 1t is
very evident that large numbers Of opera
tiyes who wished to return to work feared
violence and remained away but will
make break sthis noon or tomorrow
morning.
