The strikers now number 86,000, and no doubt is en tertained that in a very short time majority of the men still reinalning at work will quit and join the great body .of strikers. The authorities are taking every pre caution to guard against disorders, and, thongh in some places the miners display a very bitter feeling, there has as yet been no serious disturbance oi the peace, only a trivial outbreak here and there that has speedily been sup pressed. As In all labor troubles in France, there is danger that the socialistic ele ment may incite rioting, and, as a mat ter of fact, prominent socialists are at work among the discontented and strik ing miners, spreading their lawless tenets. They are closely watched, how ever, and upon the least indication of general resistance to the law they will speedily be lodged in jail. To prevent the patrols appointed by the strikers from approaching the pits in their endeavors to induce the workers to quit and also to guard against an at tack either against the men working oi upon the property of the mine owners, strong detachments of cavalry and in fantry have been stationed about tl various pits. The presence of tl troops, it is believed, will have the effect of keeping the strikers as a body from making a riotous demonstration. This is the third day of the strike, and both the miners and their employes are confident of victory. No hint of con cession is made by either aide, and from present indication* the struggle will be a long and bitter one. A Fatal Collision. Constantinople, Not. 20.—A colli sion occurred on the Bosphorus between the British steamer Bugs, bound from Odessa for Shields, and the British steamer Eddlethorp, from Port Said for Odessa.

ARRIVED SAFELY. After Two Tear* Absence the Whaler Nicotine Come* In. San Francisco, Nov. 20.—The whal ing steamer Nicoline,. Captain Hern don, has arrived, after an absence of over two years in the Arctic ocean. The schooner had several times been report ed here as lost. Captain Herendon says that the crew psssed the winter of 1888 at Elms hay. The ice broke np July 22, 1890, and pressed the schooner out of water and on to the beach, fortnnntely doing no damage. The whaling had previously been poor, as the weather was intensely cold and the ice did not move, consequently very few whales were seen. Angust 8,1890, after having received supplies and secured two white men and five natives to assist the crew, the schooner started eastward and reache Herschel Island Aug. 27. Here seven steamers and the schooner Silver Wav were found. The Niooline proceeded as far as Key Point, and sighting no whales returned to Herschel Island to winter. The homeward trip was com menced July 19 last On Sept 28 a gale, lasting five days, did much dam age to the vessel Gales and bad weather accompanied the schooner to F rmV the line 'of Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing, ogs, Carpets or Bugsj call every time on rae D.

Elected—Congress of la bor In February. Indianapolis, Nov, SO.—Much inter est is manifest in the sessions of the Alliance here. After the regular rou tine of business, the election of officers for the next term was in order, and nominations were made for the various offices, with tbe results as given: L. L. Polk was unanimously re-elected president and J. H. Louks of South Dakota, was chosen vice president! J. H. Turner was re-elected secretary and treasurer, and J. F. Willetts of Kan sas, national lecturer. George F. Washburn of the national executive committee of the People’* party, stated that the leaders of the party were jubilant over the election of Polk. Of the fonr great leaders in the Alliance—Livingston, Macnne, Terrell and Polk—the latter was regarded the one favorable to independent politi cal action. Hr. Polk, in bis annual address, severely condemned the two old par ties, and in bis address, as well as be tween the lines, so strongly indicated his tendencies to the People’s party movement, that the election of any other one of the gentlemen mentioned would have been regarded ae a blow to the People’s party, while, on the other band, tbe re-election of Polk is re garded as a victory for that party. Tbe election of J. H. Looks of South Dakota, as vice president is regarded as a great victory, from the fact that he is a member of the national committee of the People's party. The fact that a large number of Farmers’ Alliance del egates are also members of other indus trial organizations and working to gether wonld indicate that the trend of their action was toward the unification of all, and in the direction of indepen dent political action. The committee on the confederation of tbe various industrial organizations met at the Hotel Denison. This com mittee was composed of five representa tives from each of the six organisations and was chosen by the latter for the purpose of calling a congress of all labor and industrial classes. It had been decided previous to this gathering to convene the congress at Washington Feb. 22, bnt the south and west made such strong objections to that place that it became necessary to decide upon some other location. The dnty of the present meeting df the committee is to fix a place. The matter occasioned a lengthy discussion and ended in re ferring the question to a subcommittee, consisting of Terrell, Tuubeneck and Bamngarten, with instructions that either Indianapolis, Louisville, 1 Cincin nati, Chicago or Springfield, Bis., be chosen. This committee will look into the desirability of these places and tbe rates of transportation that can be ob tained,' after which it will report. It will make a decision within twenty da vs. l'he political phase of the situation cropped out in the meeting, consuming much of the time of the session. Tbe question at issue was wbether the call for the confederated assembly on Feb. 22 should leave the way open for the nomination of a national ticket $t that meeting or wbether the scope of work to be ijonu there should be lim ited, so as to prevent political action. 1 1’ho latter canrse was the one finally de cided upon. When tie assembly convenes it will proceed to draw np a platform of decla rations and demands, and the two great xditical parties Will be required to give hem consideration and Indorsement. It is not expected by any one that the treat parties will take any notice of bese demands, and the way will remain, dear for the People’s party to call a convention after the other political con ventions have been beld and adopt tbe platform of tbe confederated labor as sembly. This is tbe plan of action now de termined upon by the People’s The Confederated Assembly of trial Unions, as it is called, will, in tbe minds of the committee, be the most important organisation of reciint years. It aims for the. consolidation of ail la boring classes and the subsequent di version of the whole strength of the gi- gsntio combination into the ranks of be third party. It will be composed of twenty-five delegates at large from each confederated organization, and one delegate from each 10,000, or fraction thereof, of members. A committee consisting of C. W. Ma cnne and H. W. Baumgarten, F. W, Gilreatb and J. B Steele, was appointed to prepare ths address of laboring peo ple, setting forth tbe objects and' poses of tbe Feburnary meeting, wl address is to be published within twenty days. SMALL-POX.
