LEWIsToN'S MILLS.
Business CoodAwIth Prospects Which
Make Agents Hopeful.

LEWISTON, Jan. 49, Casual talks with the
mill agents and manufacturers find them
hopeful. There is good deal of life. Goods
are well sold up, and the market is fairly
active. Margins are small. There is strong
talk of syndicate to take hold of the Lew
iston Mills. Most of the mills in these cities
have paid their customary dividends this
January, and some of them have increased
over last year. 81 think" says Mr.. Jas.
Dempsey of the Lewiston Bleaehery, "that
the condition of the market is good. 1t is, at
least, so i'll our business, and the prospect is
excellent for the coming year. There is not
money enough in some classes of goods, but
the tone of the market is satisfactory.
look for good business"
Agent Bean of the Androscoggin says that
they have been having satisfactory six
months, and that the prospect is good. He
thinks, however, that the tone of the mar
ket is not quite so satisfactory just at pres.
ent as it has been, although he hopes for an
immediate and seasonable Improvement. He
notes particularly the fact that the market is
not nearly so lively in coarse goods.
Concerning the Androscoggin mills. it is
currently said that they have attained a pro-
duction fully equal to that before the reduc-
tion from II to 10 hours. This has been done
by addition of machinery and improvement
of methods. The mills are still undergoing
changes and improvements in machinery and
are being brought up to high state of per-
fection. Spinning frames and sample looms
are arriving now from the Saco Water Power
Company of Biddeford. In the fine mill, the
production for the week ending Jan. 14th,
1888, was 5S,5l1 pounds. For the week end
ing Jan. 18th, 1887, the production was 54,935
pounds. For the week ending Dec. 3lst,
1887, the production was 5S,S23 pounds. For
the corresponding week of last year ending
JAM 1st, 1887, the production was 54,176
pounds. In the bag mill the production is
about the same. For the week ending Jan
14th, 1883, the production of bags was SO, $50.
For the corresponding week Of 1887, the pro-
duetion was 53,473.

OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.
Resolutions Adopted by the League
In Session at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The American
Shipping and Industrial League today elect
ed its officers. Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Ala
bama, was elected president with vice
president from each State and Territory
represented.
This afternoon Admiral Porter and Gen.
Imbden of Virginia, addressed the conven-
tion. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that American shipping demands prompt
and efficient measures for its restoration and
recommending bill to Congress authorizing
the payment to any vessel, sail or steam,
wholly owned or in the United States. and
engaged in the foreign trade, of 80 cents per
registered ton, for each thousand miles and
pro rata, sal led between this and foreign
countries, the United States hydraulic office
to furnish the measurements and the pay
ments to be made on the arrival of the vessel
at port of entry in the United States. The
payment, at the rate of 80 cents per ton for
each thousand miles sailed, is to continue for
ten years and thereafter for nine years at a
reduction of three cents per ton each year,
upon each thousand miles sailed and pro
rata, for any less distance travelled. The
convention urges upon Congress the necessl.
ty for Immediate provision for the defense Of
the coast and the ports on the lakes as well
as the rebuilding and equipment OF strong
and efficient navy, and adequate and pro-
gressive provision for the Improvement OF
the harbors and rivers of the whole country,
concurrently with the restoration and de-
velopment of ocean commerce. 1t was also
resolved:
That the United States mails ought to be car
ried between this and foreign countries in Ameri-
can ships, under our own flag as soon as practical
BILE and consistent with certainty and celebrity.
and for such service the government ought TO pay
just and adequate compensation, regardless OF
the price at which other nations are willing to
pay for this foreign service.
That the vast present and prospective manu-
featuring and commercial interests Of the country
entities them to foreign mail service, the
promptness, celebrity and certainty OF which shall
be insured in peace or war by National patriot
ism, National pride and National ambition to ex-
tend our influence, our commerce and our mar
kets throughout the world.
That such service can only be relied upon In
peace and war from American hands warmed by
American hearts and under the American flag.
The convention adjourned sine die.

Lth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Mr.. Hoar, fixing the salaries of
justices of the United States District Court
at $4,000.
The resolution offered on Tuesday by Mr..
Hale, calling on the Attorney General for
information as to the appointment of Chas.
r. Westbrook as assistant to the district at
torney of New York was taken up and
passed.
The morning business being finished, the
bill for refunding the direct tax of 1861 was
taken up. Senator Chandler's motion to re-
commit was rejected, and an amendment
by Senator Edmunds, requiring all claims to
be filed within six years, was agreed to. Sew
eral amendments of a verbal character were
also agreed to.
Senator Vance offered an amendment ex-
tending the provisions of the bill to the cot
ton tax collected under the law of 1862, and
subsequent laws. He said that if the direct
tax was refunded, the h ef eoTton tax also a
| equally hardship. Senators George and
| Barry advocated the amendment, and Sena-
| tor Brown believed the cotton tax should be
refunded He said that whenever that ques-
| tiou came up in such shape that he could
Tg properly vote for it, he would do so, but the
| adoption of the cotton tax amendment
| would. he was convinced, defeat the pend
ing measure, which ought to pass. He
therefore should vote against the amend
ment.
Senator Morgan concurred with Senator
| Brown.
| tax of from S60,000,000 to SS0,000,0OO had
been right and just, and was ready to defend
| that position whenever it was assailed. IL
the amendment was adopted lie would OPP
pose the whole bill,
Senator Call, while advocating the amend
ment, opposed the whole bill
Senator Beck favored the bill as measure
| of Justice but argued that it should not be
encumbered with anything else.
| SENATOR Voorhees, also thought the
amendment would defeat the bill.
