MECHANIC FALLS, Jan. 30.-All day SUM-
day the four-horse teams were struggling
through the huge drifts and many of the
streets leading out of the village were opened
to travel There are, however, some that no
attempt has been made to open, crew of
shovelers being first needed The barn of j.
l. Sawyer at Pages Mills was so darkened
by the high drifts, covering the doors and
windows, that for several days he has been
obliged to carry lantern to tend his stock
at midday. A large crew of shovelers are
employed by the Grand Trunk Railroad to
remove some of the snow from the cuts, suf-
ficient to allow the passage of the wing plow.
T he Mechanic Falls milkman has not been
seen since the storm began. 1t will be sew
eral days yet before the out of town roads
are opened.

wAsurNGToN. Jan. 30.-The news from
the fishing commission today seems to point
surely to an early settlement, whatever that
NAV be. This news is credited by men close
To the source of information in spite of the
dispatch from Ottawa published this morn
ing declaring that there was no authority for
saving that, as matters now stand before the
commission, the Dominion government deem
satisfactory or, in fact, any settlement of
the fishery side of the negotiation beyond
possibility. The reason for the new belief
in a settlement is this. The committee on
merchant marine and fishery voted fayorably
on Gov. Dingley's bill and was to report to-
day bill prohibiting fishing by foreign ves-
sells in Mexican waters. This was a section
of the retaliation bill Of last year, but was
striken out. Just before the session opened,
Mr.. Breckinridge c4 arkansas. came to Gov.
Dingley and said he had had conference
with Mr. Bayard, and the latter thought 1t
would be best not to report the bill just now,
as he thought an agreement bad been about
reached, and reporting this bill might seri-
ously disturb things.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The President is

and their cargoes are not required In Ger
man ports to pay any fee or import due
higher, or other, than is payable by German
vessels or their cargoes, the collection OF the

exceed 80 cents per ton per annnm, im-
posed by law upon vessels entered In ports
of the United States from any ports In Ger

Labor Troubles Before Congress-.
John ii. Davis, John L. Lee and IL. Nc
Garvey, the committee representing the
striking operatives and miners OF the
Reading & Lehigh railroad and the Reading
Coal & Iron Company, arrived today to urge
Congress to take action in reference to the
Reading troubles. They will present petit
tion to the House tomorrow, charging said
companies and other corporations with un-
lawful conspiracy with individuals to raise
the price of coal to an unreasonable figure,
and for this purpose enforcing lockout in
the entire Lehigh and Schuylkill anthracite
coal system, thus preventing the mining and
Shipping of coal from these systems to any
part of the United States. Congress is
asked to appoint special committee OF the
House to Investigate the cause of the lock-
outs as promptly as may be.
