BY Marrow Margin of Four Votes
Fall River Operatives Decide
Not to Attempt to Enforce De-
mand For Higher Wages
WEAVERS, SLASHERS AND
CARDERS FAVORED STRIKE
The Spinners Voted "No" and as
Four Of Five Unions Must Vote
in Favor Of Going Out Before
Strike Can be Ordered, Loom
FixerS' Vote Settled Question

Fall River, Oct. 30.-The mill opera
tives of this city tonight decided not
to strike for an increase of wages,
Monday morning, the matter being de-
cided by majority Of four votes in the
loom flxers union. Only 1902 of the
10000 operatives of the city exclusive
of those employed in the Iron Works
and Bourne mills and the mills of the
New England Yarn Co., attended the
general mass meeting Of the unions
called for the purpose Of voting = the
proposition to strike Monday for an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages.
According to- the ruling of the tex
tile council, four Of the five unions
must vote in favor of a strike before
one can be ordered. Tonight the
weavers. slashers and carders voted
in favor, but the spinners voted against
it by a majority Of As votes and the
loom f1xers by majority Of only four.
The spinners were expected to vote
mo" so the question was really de-
cided by the four votes in the loom
flxers union.
The unions that voted to strike are
not satisfied with the result and the
textile council has called a meeting
for tomorrow night, atwhich time those
who voted Eyes" will have an opportu-
nifty to say whether or not they will
withdraw from the textile council and
undertake a strike without the spin
ners and loomfXers. The general feel
ing at labor headquarters tonight is
that there will be no strike.

Comes to an End When His
Cross-Examination Was Com
pIeted Yesterday and He Was
Allowed to Leave the Stand
MANY QUESTIONS
ASKED BY COURT
Touched Points of Campaign of
Flying Squadron but Mainly
Conferred About Difficulties En-
Countered in CoaIing and Rea-
son for Retrograde Movement

Washington, Oct. 30.-The long or
deal to which Admiral Schley has been
subjected since Monday morning ended
this afternoon, when his cross-examina-
ton was concluded and ne was allowed
to leave the witness stand.
When the judge advocate finished the
cross-examination, shortly after 8
O'Clock, the court propounded to the
admiral "a questions, prepared by the
members of the court. These questions
touched many points Of the campaign
of the flying squadron, but mainly CEN
tered about the difficulties encountered
in coaling and the reasons for the
retrograde movement. Not one of
them related to the battle of Santiago.
The judge advocates cross-examina-
ton today covered the retrograde
movement, the reconnaissance Of May
81 the loop Of the Brooklyn and the
alleged colloquy with Lieut. Hodgson
about the Texas.
One of the most interesting features
of the day was the development of the
fact that the report of the battle writ
ten by Admiral Schley July 6, 1898, was
not the original report The original
report was never published, and in &C
cordance with previous decision, the
court today declined to allow it to go
into the record.
Admiral Schley was allowed to ex-
plain, however, that Admiral Sampson
declined to receive the first report, be-
cause It did not mention the presence
of the New York.
IT felt that the victory at that time, "
said Admiral Schley in explaining the
matter was big enough for all and
mo n panaFnGifV
and because l knew that If the New
York had been present she would have
done as good work as anybody else
Capt. Thomas Borden, of the Marine
corps, who was aboard the Brooklyn
will be the last witness called for Ad'
miral Schley. After he testifies tomor'
row the Judge advocate will place OF
the stand the witnesses In rebuttal
who, it is understood number about 10
1t IS probable that Admiral Schley''
counsel will call several witnesses il

COUNTESS RUSSELL MAY
DROP THE MATTER

London, Oct. 3O.-Countess Russell
acted without the knowledge of her
legal advisers in cabling to Assistant
Secretary Taylor of the treasury de-
partment at Washington, asking for a
public apology from him through the
press for statement alleged to have
been made by him regarding the di-
vorce granted to Earl Russell in
America.
She appears to have been under the
impression that Mr.. Taylor had de-
clared that the American divorce was
valid, and that he had thus, indirectly,
endorsed as true any evidence adverse
to the countess given during the course
of the proceedings in the United
States.
If she follows the advice of her at
torneys, the countess will drop the
matter.
