LsvsII Operatives Preparing 10
Enforce Their Demands.
3 OTHERS TO SEND DELEGATES
To Convention 10 Be Held This Ennlng.
Probability Is That q Strks 10 All Co..
ton Mills viii Be Ordered.

Lowell. March 26.-Five unions affilia-
ted with the Textile council held special
meetings last night to act upon the strike
question, and only two definitely decided
their attitude. The others will send dele
gates 10 the meeting Of the council this
evening with instructions to use their
own discretion.
The unions that voted 10 strike are the
weavers and beamers, whose meetings
were attended by more than 1000 opera
fives Those which decided 10 declare
themselves at the meeting OF the central
body are the carders nappers and knit
ters Special delegates were named by
the three latter bodies, and IL is under
stood that their action will be conformed
10 the will OF the majority.
The outlook is that "a strike rs inevi-
table although there is some sentiment
favoring the postponement OF an until
matum urtil a proposition is first MADE
10 the mill agents for a conference The
state board of arbitration has not yet
been appealed to by either party. but II
is believed that II may be called upon 20
intercede n the mill officials acquiesce.
Last nights meeting will without doubt
result In the declaration of n strike un-
less there Is n marked change OF senti-
ment among the delegates who have been
appointed 10 represent the various unions,
as sufficient number 10 carry the meet
ing have been appointed, with instruc-
tions TO repudiate the joint note of the
mill agents.
Nearly 800 non-union weavers were
present at the weavers meeting I'm Loom
fixers' hall, and the place was so crowded
that Il was thought at one time that II
would be necessary 10 hold an overflow
meeting in Spinners' hall. In another sec
tion of the city.
The greater number OF the members OF
the weavers' union are employees OF the
Boot and Merrimack mills and repre-
sent a large part of the skilled workmen
of the city. They voted unanimously
in favor OF a strike and declared that
unless the demands were acceded 10
they would leave Lowell.
The general opinion Is that In the event
of the declaration of n strike the mills
will close Saturday noon and Will not
open again until the controversy is
settled. but the fact developed tonight
that the cotton spinners will perhaps
propose in the meeting that final action
be deferred until after the National con-
vention OF cotton spinners, which will be
held in Boston Monday. The spinners
At is understood, desire the Endorsement OF
the national body before they proceed
any further.
The mayor last evening at his house
had a conference with President Convery
of the Trades and Labor council and
President Rafferty, of the Textile council
IN regard to the strike.

Theory of Perseus Nebula.

Prof Kapteyn. the German astronomer
has offered a new explanation of the
seemingly marvellous motion I'm the nebu-
la surrounding the new star in Perseus.
This object was discovered a year ago,
having risen from invisibility In "A medi-
um-sized telescope TO one OF the bright
est stars I'm the heavens in twenty-four
hours. Last September photographs taken
at the Lick observatory showed that the
new star was surrounded by nebula
which displayed visible motion i'm six
weeks. "a condition completely without
precedent In the history of astronomy. IL
seemed 10 mean that this nebula was NOV
ing many hundreds OF times faster than
any knows body or system OF bodies In
the universe. '
The suggestion is now made by Prof.
Kapteyn that the apparent expansion or
the nebula Is not that OF actual matter,
but merely that of the boundary which
the light has reached i'm the months sub
seuuent TO the original outburst or the
new star before being reflected back 10
US According 10 this theory, the new
star was surrounded by great masses OF
non-luminous cosmical dust. The light
travelling outward from the star at rate
OF iS6 900 miles per second would first illu-
inmate those portions OF the nebula near
est ~ the star aud cause them To become
visible 10 observers Of the earth. I'm the
iapsc OF time the light from the star
would reach tho outcr portions of the nch-
ula and they. TOO. would then reflect a.
hack TO tho earth. making au apparent
motion In tho nchula itself. This theory
dss away with the necessity OF assum-
ing such incredible velocities Of the neb'
ula.
AS 10 the cause OF the outburst In the
new star itself n theory which Is gain
ing In favor Is that IL was not due TO an
act,taI Collision between two bodies or two
swarms OF bodies, but TO the near ap-
proach OF two dead suns which by tidal
action, one upon the other. broke open the
crust and allowed the molten matter
