Probability that the Pacific Mills Must Close for Want of Help. Orer Five Hundred Monldem is .Troy on a Strike. The Striking Mill Men. National Anodatod Press. LAWRENCE , Mass. , March 20. Eight hundred weavers of the Con trot Pacific mills refused to work tin morning " nnd assembled at the mill Ono thousand moro quit , which seven hundred , moro also did at 0 a. m They complain wages were roducac 10 per pent. , patterns changed , in creasing work , and that they are com pelted to'work ton and ono half hours a day , . .and spend two and ono half hours cvory week polishing looms. * , Mass. , March 20. There ace now 2.COO Pacific mil operatives , ono-halfof the whole num ber employed , engaged in the strike and their idleness necessitates cessa tion from work of a largo sLaro of the remainder. The mill authorities say that to-day will decide their plans for the nextfow weeks the strikers will return to work or all these remaining will leave. Much depends on the result - sult of tlio arbitrary commission's con ference with the treasurer and direc tors at Boston. No concession is expected - pectod trpm this source and in that event further argument with the strikers of course would bo of no avail. A muss meotiiiR of about 500 , four- i fills of which were girls , was hold on the commons this afternoon , but ; he meeting lacked organization , and ip speakers had been provided. The girls were very undecided as to what course to pursue. A committee was appointed to wait upon Superintend ents Stone and Parker to see if my concession could bo gained. Superintendent Stone said that 10 concession would bo granted. It s understood Mr. Parker will make a similar reply. The committee , con sisting of Mayor Breen and two others , who were to interview Treas urer SalatonstaU'at Boston this even- ng , started for there , but were deliv ered from going by a message that the reasurer would have nothing to say o them. Both sides remain hrm , but .ho striken are utterly disorganized. They have no union on which to rely , no.jJi adjonj , and no definite " dea < of thelF future "oourso. Probably the Central mill will ihut down entirely to-morrow and the argor part of the machinery of the other mills probably will also bo stop- ted. This can hardly bo avoided , as about 2,500 hands , almost half the whole numbetof opor.tivos uro now ngagod in the strike , and their idle ness enforces that of hundreds of others. TROT , N. . , March 20. Five lundred and twenty-five moulders truck this morning. The Jounnetto Expedition. 'itlonal ' AiaodatoJ Prcsa. WASHINGTON , D. 0. , March 20. lelvillb's report of the Jeannette xpedition has reached the state do- lurtment , in substance as follows : DoLong's instructions , dated Gape Smma , Bennett Island , August 0h , 881 , were that forty should go nouth o Magnetic , if over ice , and if in teats to the Siberian roast and make or the mouth of the Lena. If the > oats got separated the undorstand- ng was. to go to the Lena and ip the stream to the settlement. The mats separated on the night of Bep- ember 12th , 1881 , fifty miles north- abt of Bukia , and Melville readied lie Lena on September IGth and Bukoff September 2Gth. Tried .o ; at up the river with native guides , jut the ice and exhausted condition f the men compelled their return , 'ho natives gave them quarters and a uanity of fish and decayed geogo. ictoberSthn Human exile discover- d them and divided liin fund and wont buck and told the commandant. October 29th the exile returned with supply of food and word that the ominandant would bo at BukofF No- ember lat with deer and sleds to ros- uo the party and take them to Bolnia. 'he oxil on return mot two of tbo rat cutter's party at Kumurt. Mel- illo at once started for Belnia to in- erct'pt the commandant , but missed lim by taking a difieront road , leaving ) anoriliovvor , whoso eves had recov- red , in charge of the party with in- ( ructions to follow Melville to ielnia as soon as possible. Melville cached Belnia November 2d nd found the men in an xhaustcd condition. From them 10 learned what had occurred fter the separation np to October 1 , lie latest anythiag was hoard of Do jong. Do Long's party crossed the ena to the west banks'on October at , to a summer hunting ledge called Jatordn. The tooa of Erickson being mputatod because they were frozen. 10 was drawn on an unprovisod sled nd hauled by his companions .who wore hardly able to walk because of rozon feet and logs. They proceeded , outli aqain , crossing the Lena and laving to wade. Edckson died Go ober 6th , and was buried in the jena. The party was then in a de plorable condition , having lost their tog meat and being on an allowance of three ounces of alcohol per man per lay , but they proceeded south until ) ctobor Oth , wherf Do Long sent fyordorraan and Neros ahead to seek relief. These two men after fourteen days of terrible suffering reached Bol < oour and were cared for by the com- mandant. Hero they sent a dispatch to the United States minister at St Petersburg. The commandant after wards supplied Melville Novombo 5th , at Btinanloup t upper Bolnrn the natives giving Melville Do Long's records loft there by Do Long. Melville villo says from all the circumstances ho believes Do Long and party are northward of the Lena , between Bis tor Ancck and Bolcour , and asks au thority to send Ny order man am Noros ahead to their relief. to Death. Special to TDK UKK OouNcir. BUJFFB , la. , March 20. Fred. Bochor , while coupling cars in the Northwestern yard about 1G o'clock last night , was caught and badly crushed about the head am breast that ho died instantly.

A Plea for the 'Dond. Denver Tribune. It is not claimed that General Our- field was a perfect man. There are no perfect men. It is not claimed thai his is the greatest name m American history. Among superlative men it is difficult to decide. It is simply claimed that ho had heart warm for his country and a head clear for its welfare Road by the cold light of history of his ns- sass nation did not add any artificial aids 'o his reputation. It simply em- ahat-i/.ed the qualities ho possessed. Before it , ho had boon a notable igure , but not a central figure. When ill eyes were turned upon him with an ntorost which had never been iu thorn jeforp the world learned that ho had ; hat in him whiok is not common a all men. It saw him as a splendid ; ype of American manhood , with a vista of struggles and trials strotoh- ng behind the present which had so suddenly become darkened. I bean - ; an to appreciate the lovcablo- 1C83 , the manliness , the endur- ug consistency , the sturdy liberal ly , and the intellectual integrity of a lito which had been as bracing and as sweet and as healthful as a naming in spring. There was also shedding ever this its atmosphere of regretful tonderqosa , the pathos of lopes unfulfilled and of dreams that lad faded into the darkness. Sunset and sunrieo touched hands ever his irostrato form , It is not intended here to dwell upon the weariness cf the summer of lain through whoso sultry , silent lays his noble heart throbbed its way nto eternity. This has boon written of often enough before , and it seems o jar harshly upon the feelings of hpso who are now planting woods so hickly over his memory that the iaisies can scarcely struggle to the ight. Jt ia only intended to saysomo lungs about the "dead man -\hich came often enough while ho was living from ips that have since sworn a quick allegiance to the newer administrator of the presidential effects. In the ull which followed a great tragedy men were just and truth struggled oven from the reluctant tongue of elfishness and egotism. But the re public has turned from Ood'c aero into the world again , and malice , shrewd to understand our volatile and careless na- ional temperament , cries out with angry voice at the voiceless , and there are few , to cross their swords in pro motion over the grave around which , mt u few brief months ago , the na- ion stood with bared head and rev- rent mien. The baked moats of the uneral have boon warmed ever for he marriage ceremony , and the bolls myo ceased to toll and learned a mor- ler tune. The warmest admirers of our late > resident are not so foolish as to ask lint the republic shall forever wear ablos for the dead. In the coursn of aturo sorrow doffs its woods , and what had been a poignant grief bo- omos a pensive memory . They can sk , and they do ask , however , that 10 no longer bo made the target for do narrow , selfish faction which termed against his administration while ho lived. The fight now is a award's fight. 'When ho was living 10 gave back blow for blow. Now nit the silences have enfolded him , is unmanly and ungenerous to oon- IHIO the warfare upon his memory , 'ho great , strong brain is dust , the loquent tongue is silent , tlio warm curt throbs no moro at the cull of ny emotion , the arms which had town sturdy nfc bittlu with the world ro norveluBs and motionless. Only craven would ntab now. Garfield hnd his faults , Hit they vero faults of the heart. H'-s nature was emotional and suntiinimi il , and o him friendship meant inoie nun it oes to most people. His ullVction vas always frank and ready of speech. t never concealed itself , and its trust was boundless. Because of this ho was sometimes betrayed , but his son- imontul regard for what had boon Iways , closed his mouth to complaint. lo was a largO'imturod , enduring man , with much charity and a boyish aith in his kind. In his relations to ho public ho was always honest with limsolf and to his unusual attain- louts , There was nothing of the emngoguo in him. A wide range of tudies and a stirring experience in a ihangeful era of the republic's history lad given him a thorough knowledge of the science of government and ho vas always true to his convictions. It iaa boon said , in testimony of his narvolous capacity for work , that his pooches during his almost score of rears' work in congress would , were here no other data , constitute a hie- ory of the period , Something butter han this can bo said. His utterances luring that formative time ouibody what is now the financial and cnoral ) olioy of our government. It in true if him that ho was right on ovury question which carao up foe debate during his legislative career , and this muoh can be said of very few of our publio men. lie may b < j belittled in the slums of faction but ho willalway stand in hi * true Attitude nnd in hi modest greatness m the purest air o truth , * " Miioellaiaf ona Telegram * .

The usual earao ne s and quiet reigns in Blair. Noth- ng startling or sensational has oa cur rod since our last. There is noth' ng to interrupt the oven tenor of our way. Our church people are conduct ng themselves at present in a manner that deserves no comment. No social caudal ; no matrimonial event of ape- ial importance ; no riot , nor any con- romplatod , gigantic scheme on hand , 0 that the nowuniongor wanders aim- esaly around in search of items for his uper or articln.

The author- ! io.i had not demonstrated in uny way hat they could not preserve order , and the death of the old gentleman Armstrong will ever bo an unpleasant risioti to the eyes of these city author- ties.

The course of TJIK BEK has been as conservative and much more sensible than that of either the Herald's or the Republi can's , It lias simply advocated higher wages for the laboring men. and has not in a single sentence uphold them n acts of violence or luwlessuos.

This oui t is for the possession of ifty-iive acres of land in the heart of ho city of Cleveland , the value of which property is estimated at81,000- )00. ) The suit h brought by Wra.

He was present when Joe Cody died , and is willing to ostify to a deathbed confession which v ill go to show that Joe Oody was guilty of the forgery , and cruelly vrongud the loaitimato heirs of the > roporty. Phillip Cody died in 1830 , ind was unquestionably insane. "Buf- ilo Bill" hus placed § 5,000 in a bank n Cleveland to meet preliminary awyere1 fees.
