Especial Correspondence

Secretary Manning is reported to be pro-
crossing favorably toward a compl etc recovs
cry and it Is believed by those nearest to him
that if he has no setbacks he will be able to
resume the general direction of the Treasury
Department before the hot weather begins
and to take up his daily office work again
Immediately after a summer vacation.
The present state of affairs is not promising
for financial legislation of any class in the
Senate. The evenly balanced condition of
the Finance Committee. while acting as
check upon some wholesome and useful meas
ures, is almost equally sure to suppress dam
gerous and senseless propositions such as
Senator Beck's still pending resolutions for
bond redemption in silver.
There is an opinion current among Eastern
financiers that the Tariff bill in some form
will pass the House, be hung mp in the Senate
and. like silver legislation, fall in5o = condi>
ton of 'innoccuous desuetu1e' in the pigeon>
hole of soma committee or on the table.
Tae Inter State Commerce bills may soon
be under way again in both Houses 1t is
thought possible, however, that the Elections
Committee will succeed in gaining the atten>
ton Of the House for the Hurd>Romeis case
and cut off the Interstate Commerce bill.
There is hope of Cullom's bill being pressed
in the Senate.
Late in the week an effort will be md, to
secure attention in the House for the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill. The Banking
and Currency Committee is anxious to get its
Small>Silver> Certificate Circulation bill be,
fore the House. The course of the session
thus far has not been such as to give rise to
any extravagant hopes of beneficial legisla-
ton being accomplished unless it bs at such
brelk-neck speed as to ieodariice security.

THE BUSY WHEELS.

| Jottfngs About The Manufactures.
Work at the Sargent mandatory is dull
| in all departments. The moulders in both
| the north and the south shops are working
but three days week and one of the men
thought last eVsning that about twenty five
of the moulders in the south shop had OBJ
tanned employment in other cities and towns,
while about fifteen in the other foundry had
also obtained places elsewhere. There be-
ing SO large force of hands mostly unem-
ployed at this immense establishment, the
loss of wages and consequently of money to
expend at the stores is considerable.
Work at the l.. Candee rubber manufac-
tory, which was resumed short time since,
is moderately busy. Nearly the whole GUS
tomary force of about 1900 or /, 400 is at
work.
Work at the Goodyear axle factory, where
from 40 to 100 hands are employed, accord
ing to the times, has been very dull for two
years past owing to the depression in the
carriage trade and other causes. For many
weeks the hands have worked less than half
time Last week the hands got in forty eight
hours work, an unusually good weeks work.
With boom in carriage making, business
would soon resume its old activity at this
factory, which has been very successful
when business was good.
The Whitney armory work, which was re-
sumed number of weeks ago, after a long
vacation, is quite active and guns are being
shipped to many different points.
Business is good at the Winchester armory.
The gun and the machine departments may
be said to be invariably busy. At times the
cartridge making department. is dull. There
are from 1000 to !, 200 hands employed in
this mammoth mandatory. 1t may be said
to have been the means of build
ing up quite a large section of
the city, nearly all that section
near the factory, now so we'll, and in many
places thickly, covered with dwellings, hay
ing been open lots or unimproved land be-
fore this factory came into existence. The
location of this factory there has also been
the primary cause of the location of other
lesser manufactures in that section. Build
ing continues lively and active in that Sec
ton.
At Martins gun and pistol mandatory
much activity prevails. The number of hands
has been increased by about twenty-five in
hands, nearly all men, and most of them
skilled mechanics, are now employed there.
The Ballard sporting gun is made there in
large numbers. The concern has been max
ing this gun for many years, having bought
the patent or right fifteen or twenty years
ago. Other sporting rifles are made there.
Business is very dull at the Branford Lock
Works shops, and about forty men have
been discharged or suspended. At the time
of the recent strike there the company said
that if the advance in wages was compelled,
before long.
The Spencer Arms company, of Windsor.
are at work on an order of 1000 shotguns
for New York people, which will keep them
busy the rest of the year. They turn out 10
guns day.
