LOWELL STRIKE OFF
Council Of Operatives Vote to
Return to Work.
MILL WORKERS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Agents Will Take Back the old Help
They Have Room For and VIII
Not Discriminate Against
the Leaders.

LOWELL, Mass, June 22.-The tex
tile council has declared the great
strike in the Lowell mills at an end.
Every union affiliated with the council
was represented, and the vote was
unanimous. Mule spinners and loom
fixers were included in this vote de.
spite statements that they would Op-
pose a return to work. When the
meeting was called there was no dis
sension. The situation was discussed
carefully and with no suggestion of ex-
citement. The vote showed every del
egation favorable to return to work,
and the sentiment was that the vote
take immediate effect
When asked for statement Presi-
dent Conroy smilingly said:
I'VE now worship at the altar of de-
feat, but later we shall rise again and
conquer"
Agent William S. Southworth, secre-
tary of the agents, said when inter-
viewed:
'It will be impossible to start the bal
ance of machinery so as to employ at
once all who will come back. Running
with an incomplete force for three
weeks has disturbed the balance that
usually exists between the stock and
prices in the various deparemtns. A
mill may have depleted stock in cer-
tain kinds OF yarn and for that reason
be unable to start all of its looms even
If the full complement of help is avail
able. 1t is for the selling agents and
the treasurers to decide in view of the
market whether we shall attempt to
run in full.''
The strike began on March 30 and in
volved about 1900 operatives. The
mills were shut down till June 1, when
the agents opened the gates, and the
majority of the operatives went back
to work. The strike has cost in wages
about 81, 100000.
1t is understood that the agents will
take back all the old help they have
room for and will make no discrimina-
ton against the leaders of the strike
movement

Electric Current Fails to XIII Yard
man Lyons.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Persons lott
ring near the yards of the 81" road at
Inc Hundred and Fifty-fifth street
ratching the making up Of trains were
amazed to see short, active man who
ltepped from rail to rail stand at times
With one foot on the third rail and the
ither foot on the running rail near 1t.
IIany onlookers gasped, expecting to
see him topple over killed by the heavy
current of electricity they supposed
was coursing through his body. But
Ae did not fall. He stood there as long
as he wished and then stepped off none
The worse for the experience. i
He was Alexander Lyons, car cou-
oler. He is the wonder not only of the
yard, but also of all electricians who
visit it, for he seemingly is impervious
to the effects of electricity. Lyons is
about thirty-fve and has been In the
yard fifteen years. He was a fixture
in the yard long before the third rail
was thought Of.
When it came Lyons in common
with the other men employed in the
yard, at first was exceedingly cautious
not to tempt fate by stepping upon it,
but in week his colaborers were as
to see him stepping on and off
the third rail without any more regard
for it than he had for the unchanged
rails. They warned him Of the danger.
To show his contempt for the current
he would put one foot on the third rail
and the other on the running rail and
would invite them to follow his exam
ole if they dared. Fortunately for them
they did not accept the challenge.

post Office robbery recently. A package

denominations from l to 10 cents, ag-
gregating in value $lG7.44. In the pack
age were two bottles of nitroglycerin
and several other articles. The men are
all about thirty years of age. The one
that was shot by the sheriff's posse is
improving and has good chance of re-
cOvery.

WILMINGTON, Del. June 22.-What
IS believed to have been deliberate at
tempt to wreak vengeance on George
White, a negro who is charged with as
saulting and killing Helen Bishop, was
foiled through the watchfulness of the
authorities and through lack of num-
bers In the attacking party. Ever since
the girl died as a result of her injuries
there has been talk of lynching. A
band of about sixty men gathered at
Marshallton, near the scene of the
crime, and marched to the workhouse.
The crowd was armed with pistols and
shotguns. When it reached the prison
demonstration was made, and those
that had weapons fired them off. The
chief warden had all his guards on
duty, but they were not compelled to
resist an attack because the crowd soon
dispersed

.SERVIA INDIGNANT.
British Government to With
draw It's Minister.
MILITARY ASSASSISS ARE REWARDED
Officers of the Army who Took PART
In the Murder of the sOvereigns
Are PromOted-Servians De-
tested the queen.

BELGRADE, Servia, June %. = NJ
Kalievics, foreign minister, in an in
terview expresses intense indignation
at the announcement from London that
the British minister has been instruct
ed to withdraw from Belgrade for some
time on the arrival here of King Peter.
The minister said it was inexplicable
why the British government intended
to make the provisional Servian minis
| try responsible for the deplorable
events of the night of June IL. The
members of the present cabinet, he
added, had really displayed great pa
triotism in coming to the aid of their
country in the sad crisis.
Minister Kalievics statement was
made carefully for publication and
may be regarded as an official express
sion of the view of the government
| The minister said:
"It is with deep Indignation that we
find in a recent telegram from London
an indication that it is intended to hold
the present government responsible for
the deplorable events which occurred
on the sanguinary night of June IL in
the royal palace. 1t is known that the
events of that night were carried out
| by Servian officers who had resolved to
prevent the probable proclamation of
the brother of Queen Draga as the sue
cessor to the throne.
"The fact that woman was among
those who perished in the struggle pro-
vol1ed by the attack of an aid de camp
upon officers is regrettable, more so as
her death was by no means necessary,
even though she had been detested by
the whole Servian people from the mo-
ment she presumed to place the crown
upon her unworthy head"
The promotions are announced of va
rious members of the military deputa-
ton to King Peter at Geneva. Colonel
Popovics of the late King Alexanders
palace guard is created a general and
/ first aid de camp to King Peter; Cap
tain Kostics, who opened the palace
gates for the assassins of the late king
and queen, is promoted to be major,
and Lieutenant Gronica, who was on
guard outside the palace on the night
of the assassination and who was a
confidant of the conspirators, is made
captain.

on the part Of the dominant party Even
the conservative, sensible element among

for anything 81 this sort, for this element
understands as clearly as do the white peo.
pie Of the South republican, and demos
Gratis alike, that the government made a
mistake In giving the whole negro race
right to vote. Candid Northern men who
have gone into the South and observed
