Congressmen Make an Interesting
 Tour of the Pacific Cloth Works.
 LAWRENCE, Mass, Dec. 31.-The con- gressional delegation, the guests of the Bos- ton Merchants club, were shown the various divisions of the Pacific mills to-day. They were taken from the storeroom through the miles of whirling machinery to where the cloth comes out in rolls. The great quanti- ties of goods, the immense piles of machinery and the hundreds of silent operatives were commented upon, and at times the gentle men in charge stopped and explained the methods of production and the economic fea- lures of the operation. Congressman Tucker was especially interested, and pains were taken to give him as specimen low tariff man full knowledge of the work of the corporation. Messrs. Edmunds and Allison asked questions and the rest listened to the answers. Thence across the canal to the corporation boarding houses, into which all entered and looked at the inviting tables and rooms of the operatives. "All this for $2.2O a week, explained Mir. Saltonstall the treasurer. The strangers could hardly believe it. "This is your down trodden la bor," was the shaft launched at Tucker. The library with its seven thousand volumes and periodicals and the cooperative fund fer the sick were explained. At noon the con- pany took position at the gate and saw thousands of operatives go to dinner, when carriages were taken for a drive about the city and at 1 o'clock lunch was served at the Eliot church, all the mill agents and several leading citizens being present.

Criminals and Tkeir Ways.

From All the Year Round.
 Criminals glide back to their old haunts and their old companions with fatal facility. There may seem the fairest hopes of reforma- ton, but at the first fire of temptation the frost-wo1k of new habits melts away at once. There is a story that man bought one day, at old curiosity shop at Rome, ring with a secret spring, in which poison had been imbedded ever since the days of the Borgias, and the ancient venom had still sufficient strength to poison him. There is the story of girl of Indian blood who was thought to be fully reclaimed to civilizations when some offence had been given her by her mistress, she tore up her clothes, squatted on the ground, and howled. Keen insight into hu- man nature is exhibited by Victor Hugo when he makes Jean Valjean, even after the forgiven ess and generosity of the good bish- op, rob the little Savoyard of his two-franc piece. It was the temporary assertion of the tyranny of deprayed habits. "Now, here is a remarkable case for you" said great pris- on authority to me one day. 'I knew man who lay under sentence of punishment of death. It was either for murder for burg lary, for the sentence was passed a little while before the death penalty for burglary was abolished. If for murder it must have
 
 extreme sentence was commuted into trans portation for life. He went out to Western Australia and there behaved so well that he departed for another part of Australia with free pardon. He came to one of the great Australian towns and became 8 constable, and by degrees chief constable. Then he thought he would come over to London for a time He did so, and had not been in London many weeks before he met with some of his old pals in the Strand, got mixed up in some of their evil ways and sent back again to Aus tralia as a convict. I can tell yeu, sir, we see some very queer things, we who are con nected with the convict system. In this very room where we are, there were two men talking one morning. The one was the old Marquis of Westminster and the other was a released convict. The Marquis did not know it was convict and the convict did not know it was the Marquis. T think the convicts have not so much to complain of, and enjoy an extremely healthy air at Port land,' said the Marquis. ''I agree with you, sir, said the convict, ''for happen to have spent good deal of time there myself.'"

General Crook Able to Cope With the
 Hostile Apaches.

general crook A Dle to cope With the
 Hostile Apaches.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Adjutant General Drum said to-day that he thought it would be unnecessary to organize the proposed body of frontiersmen to hunt the Indians. He was of the opinion that General Crook will have accomplished the task of subject ing the hostiles before the frontier troops can be organized. General Crook has a large force of men and has been supplied with everything he desired to carry on the cam paign and General Drum thought he would soon be successful in either subduing or ex- terminating the hostile Apaches.
 Governor Zulick, of Arizona, has sent 8 dispatch to the Secretary of the Interior de- nying the published statement that he has called upon the President for troops to pro- tect the San Carlos Indians from the appre- hended attacks of citizens. He states that he has made such request and at the de- partment it is stated that nothing of the kind has been received from Gov. Zulick. The President to-day sent letter to Gov. Zulick which confutes these publications. The Governor claims the published statements have provoked unfriendly feeling against him among citizens of Arizona.
 Acting Secretary Muldrow of the Interior department to-day telegraphed Governor Zu- lick of Arizona stating positively that the department has received no dispatch from him calling for troops to protect the Indians in the neighborhood of the San Carlos reser vation as erroneouly stated in published des- patches on the 26th instant.

BUFFALO, Dec 31.-The Times Washing ton special says: "A scheme is on foot to secure the publication in this city of a Demo- cratic daily newspaper favorable to the views of the Cleveland administration. The plans of those who are moving in the matter con- template the purchase of one of the papers now running here, but they would not be ave1se to starting an entirely new journal, in case they could not purchase advantageously the concern they have their eyes on. If the requisite capital is raised it will come from the Randall wing of the party, and if MT.
