New England Manufacturers Will Make ll Cut of 20 Per Cent. FALL RIVER, Mass. A,ug. 22. —At a meet ing of prominent mill treasurers held thil morning it was voted to appoint a com- mittee to go to Boston to discuss the trade situation with other New England . manufacturers and also to endeavor it possible to secure a. uniform schedule of Wages to be paid on the cotton industry. It is stated on the best authority that o reduction Of 20 per cent in the wages paid - here will be made as soon as the mills re- sume operations. It is proposed to cut down the price 01 weaving from 21 to 167 cents per out, and other wages in the difierent department! will be cut in the same proportion. Should business pick up within a. few weeks. so tion on this schedule will be deferred, but sooner or later a. readjustment will be en- forced.- . Today’s meeting ~ lasted only half an hour, but the outline of proceedings was pretty generally understood before the treasurers convened. Bufl'alo's Redistricting. BUFFALO. Aug. 22.—Judge Height has denied the application for a. mandamus to compel the board of select councilman to redistrict the wards of the city on the ground that the motion was premature. He holds that the statute reguiring the redistricting of towns and cities into dis- tricts of 400 or less to be mandatory, but that the councilmen have 30 days prior to election day to makea redistricting if they so determine.

Habits are contracted and characters formed early in life, and it is probable that the color of a person’s reading is mainly determined during the time of hobbledehoydom, when he is in process of passing ..from the limp and lanky schoolboy to-the set and rigid man. Just at this time'l'is a most critical period in his career, for now it is that he obtains a new outlook into life. Previously he has been concerned with. the miniature world of school and looked at the great- er world only with the eyes of a school- boy. But now, entering a business or a profession, he enters into a larger life and , begins to look about him with an air of ‘ deeper inquiry. And the more he reads of contemporary literature the worse does he become, for the air is thick with controversy; Nothing is too sacred to be contradicted. and thespirit of “sweet reasonableness" seems to be dead.» Chambers" Journal. _' .

Aug. 22.--Except for the interest that will attach to some closing hours of the house debate, the attention of (the country during' the week will be con- tered upon the doings of- the senate. The. real battle is to take place there, and the preliminary skirmishing which began by the speech of Mr. Vest of Missouri a few- days ago was supplemented todayby the speech of Mr. M orlill in favor of the Year- hees bill will be continued by the great effort Of Senator Voorhees tomorrow in behalf of his double headed bill. As a genera1=proposilion it maybe stated . with perfect safety that there-are 12 to 15 Democratic senatéirs in favor Of uncondi- tional repeal and from 25 to 35 who are either opposed to unco‘uditional repeal, or who are opposed to it unless they can get something acceptable to take its place. About 25 of the Republican senators are _ in favor of repeal, and from 154-139 20 of them will vote either against repeal or for some of the amendments to be proposed by the free silver senators. In other words, there are about 10 more Democrats who t . 2‘ ' are opposed o a straight out uncondf Vvdeposition from the chairmanship of the tional lepeal than there are qt those in favor of such action, so that: as the sen- ate stands today a vote for unconditional repeal would be defeated. Silver Senators “'eaken'ing. It must be admitted, however, that as day after day goes by without action, and with the pressure from the people who are suffering from financial distress becoming stronger and stranger, the silver senators begin to weaken. \Vith this state of things the men who are working for repeal are leaving no stone unturned to make con- verts, and they have been making some headway, and will make more from now on as the day for the final vote approaches . and the people continue their cry for relief. , An impression is growing about the cap- itol that the present extraordinary session Of congress may come to an end about the middle of September. This appears to be based upon confidence in the possibilities. of a compromise being entered into within that period upon .the financial questiOn. Those persons who hold to the Opinion that adjournment is possible next month say that Mr. Vest’s proposition to provide for free coinage of silver at a ratio of 20 to 1 will be passed by the senate and ultimate- ly will bec0me a part of- the bill for un. conditional repeal, which, it is ',expected will be passed by the house. Senator Quay yesterday vacated his apartments .in the N ormandle for an in- definite period and journeyed back to Pennsylvania. The senator was one of the first to put in an appearance after the spe- cial session was called. Now he says that there seems to ‘be no need for him here, and he intends to take a vacation in a cooler climate. The Pennsylvania senator is paired with Senator Morgan of Alabama and could not vote until the return Of the latter from Paris. In Senate and House. WASHINGTON,‘ Aug. 22. a—Numerous bills which had been introduced and were pend- lng' 1n the last congress were reintroduced today and referred to committees. A substitute for the national bank cur- rency bill was offered by Mr. Pefi’er (Pop. ., Kan.) proposing the issue of $250, 000, 000 of treasury notes, to be deposited in the treas- ury and to be available as cash. A resolution was offered by Mr. Chan- dler (Rep. , N. H. ) declaring that there was no lawful election of United States sena- tor in Kansas when Mr. .Martin was de- glared elected; also one looking to the opening of a must line of waterways. These were referred to committees. Mr Morlill (Repi, Vt. ) then asked and obtained indefinite leave of absence after today on account of ill health. He then addressed the senate in favor of the bill' reported from the finance committee last Friday to discontinue the purchase of sil- Ver bullion. His speech, v. hich was read, here the motto “Sound money cheats nobody.” ~He frankly‘ avowed that he did not yet abandon all hope]: of bimetallism. After the repeal of the-purchasing clauses of the Sherman act the country would not be de- pendent on gold - alone, as there would be in the treasury ‘thuch , more silver than gold and much more paper currency than ever before, and ’the silver dollar would. not be demonetiz‘ed. . After readingof the journal Mr. Pow- srs (Rep, Vt.) tOOk the floor' in support of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the , Sherman act. Mr. Hooker (Benn, Miss.) spoke against the repeal, believing that no relief would , come to the country from that repeal. The president’ said that the depression came from a lack Of confidence. lack of confidence was not in the great masses of the. people, but in the great mona ey institutions that were locking up the currency of the country. Mr. Cooper of Indiana spoke next. His remarks were against the free coinage of silver. To repeal the purchasing clause would not strike down or kill silver. In his opiniOn it would lift it up and make it Equal to- the gold dollar. After the announcement of the commit- tee appointments, on motion of Mr. Bland Saturday next was set apart for general debate“ instead of five minute debate on the repeal. The House Chairmanships.
