THE NEW BEDFORD STRIKE.
Little Change Tndicated-Wenvers
 Continue Quiet and Orderly.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. Dee. 13.- The third day of the strike at the Acush- net and Hathaway mills passed without incident of special mention. The meet ings of the weavers and tiXcrs were held as usual, when it was reported that more weavers had joined the raIks of the strik- erS.
 Secretary Hart made his usual remarks of encouragement to the striking weavers and in conclusion said:
 "lt is unfortunate for the operatives that the mayor of the city was called away. True, we have an acting mayor. but l fear that Mir. LaWton is too closely allied with the manufacturers to Go Us any good
 lii regard to the report that Mir. Law ton had talked with tine chief of police about policemen for duty at the mil gates Mr. Hart said: None of the SIri;- CTS has made the least bit of trouble, and the summunsing of the four weaVcrs be fore th" chief did not amount to any thing, for the men all denied the charge of intimidating operatives who were @o- Ing to work. They even said that they had not even a$ much as passed :; word with any one who has seen fit to work since the strike has been on"

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

Probable Extension of the Order ill
 Several Foreign Countries.
 A matter to be considered at the na- tiOnal convention of the Knights of Columbus, to be held in New Haven on the first Tuesday in March. will be the extension of the order from the United States to foreign countries, par ticularly the West Indian Islands.
 The national council has been solicit ed to extend the order into Porto Rico and the national officers have been asked to extend the order to Eng land and Ireland.
 The Knights of Columbus have mem bers abroad enrolled in the American councils. but the order has not taken root ill foreign countries. It is proba- ble that the national council will take favorable action in that direction when it meets there.
 Members of the order are scattered all over the world. Hundreds visited the Paris exhibition and there q new impetus was given to the movement for the extension which has since spread 10 England and Ireland. and the general office is ill receipt of com- nun.cItt f1s from members abroad that indicates d bright outlook for the plan of extension now under consideration.
 Venezuela. the Island of St Thomas, Cuba and Porto Rico are the places that may be selected first by the na- tional council for the development of the order.
