The First of the Three Days Session
at lewiston.

LEWISTON, December 16.-The annual
session of the Maine State Grange opened
here today.
The roll call showed 135 voting and 81 9TH
er delegates present. Sixty-tw masters are
in attendance with eight representatives of
county oranges.
Worthy Master Prince gave the annual ad-
dress this afternoon. He says the organiza-
tlon has gone steadily forward the past year.
1t is constitutional tight to enjoy the fruits
of labor, still the farmers business is ham,
pered and paralyzed by artificial means and
prices, rebbing the producer of the fruits of
his labors. Trusts are, from day 20 day, be-
coming great power in our land and are
standing monuments of evil. Labor is shad-
owed upon every side by combinations and
trusts. Hence it becomes the duty of the
American farmer to unite in maintaining his
rights against every power, against every
combination that Threatens his welfare in
any respect.
After drawing attention to several matters
relating to business Mr.. Prince closed by
discussing the laying of a tax upon timber
lands, railroads and telcgraphs, as well as
Incomes. The wrongs he had depicted can
re rlghied II the grange is true.
Worthy Master Prince announced the fol-
lowing committees: Finance, fees and dues,

wood received from the Otis Falls Pnlp
Company, and about the first of February,
1890, the attention OF the Pulp CompanV was
called to this fact and they were invited 10
examine samples OF the pulp. The Pnin
Company declined to examine the samnIes
and insisted that the pulp was ali right and
would make no change, and further insisted
upon continuing to furnish just such poor
pulp, claiming 1t to &c nrst-ciass, as required
finding that the use Of this pulp would ruin
their business, after q careful investigation,
refused to receive any more pulp OF Ihls
quality and claimed to terminate tne con-
tract, all Of which acts by the ofi1cers Oh the
Paper Company were sustained by unanl-
nous vote OF the board of directors. The
fact that such poor pulp was shipped under
the contract, II proved. as the counsel ex-
pected 1t would be proved to the full salts
faction of the referees, Is legal ground for
the termination OF the contract, ana Tor the
claim for damages suffered In consequence
thereof by the Poland Paper Company IL
Is not incumbent upon the Paper Company
or Mr.. Mllliken to show what caused this
poor quality of pulp, whether 1t came from
a poor quality of wood or improper maDn-
facture, both of which II was claimed would
be shown to exist, but the fact that IL was
poor and worthless Is sufficient to justify all
the acts upon the part OF the Paper Company
aud Mr.. MillIken.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cages opening,
the hearing was adjourned until this morn
ing at $50 a. m. VOluminous dispositions
have been taken upon both sides, and the
hearing Is likely to consume several days.
Messrs. SymOnds q Libby appear for the
Otis Falls Pulp Company and Messrs.

Company and Mr.. Milllken.

House Democrats Will Not Fllibuster
Against the Apportionment.
Shipping Bills Probably To Be
Brought forward Today.
Quay Accused of Wrsckine the Elec-
tIons Sill Last Session.
Especial to the Press ]

WASHINGTON, December 16.-The pro-
proceedings in the House this afternoon in
dicate that the Democrats will not resort to
extreme measures to resist the passage of
the apportionpent bill. The Republicans
cannot muster more than 40 members on
vote which would enable the Democrats to
make long fight should they filibuster by
leaving the House. When an attempt was
made by Chat man Dunnell of the census
committee, who has the apportionment bill
In charge, to force a vole this afternoon, the
Democrats began to leave the hall, and it
became evident that the Republicans would
De left without a quorum. 1t will be mani
testify Impossible to get any more Republi-
cans here before the holiday recess, so a
Democratic hiibuSter would be very bad for
the business of the House. Realizing this,
MT. Dunnell held hurried consultation
with Mr.. Blount, who was leading the DEM
ocrats, and they came to an arrangement
whereby two hours more are to be given for
debate tomorrc W, when vote is to be taken.
1 ne Democrats were quite ready TO enter In
to this arrangement, for large section of
their party regard the apportionment bill as
fair,. and do not care to join New York
City's crusade SO actively as TO begin fillbus-
tering.
1t is the. present intention to bring the
shipping bill up in the House tomorrow, and
continue 1t Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
In the main, the Democrats will oppose it
bitterly The Southern leaders propose
even to attempt to prevent its consideration.
The Senate Republicans are busying them
selves about devsing schemes that are ex-
pected to relieve the financial situation, aud
the great number of silver inflationists In
their ranks are so aggressive as to give the
impression that the councils are seriously
lacking in conservative strength. The gem
eral opinion is that the federal election bill
fingers along merely at the pleasure of this
iDffatlonist element. A Washington even
ing paper, reviewing the failure OF the feder-
al election bill last session, charges Senator
Quay with having betrayed the bill in order
To further railroad scheme which needed
congressional action. Such a deal was sus

movement among Evangelical
Churches for United Effort.

BRUNSWICK, December 16.-A conference
of representatives from the Baptist, Free
Baptist, Christian, Congregational and
Methodist denominations assembled yester
day afternoon in Memorial Hall to consider
the religious condition of the state.
President Hyde was chosen moderator,
and President Small clerk. The following
resolutions were presented, discussed in a
most earnest and friendly spirit and adopted
unanimously:
We are glad to recognize the evident desire of
the evangelical denominations of the State of
Maine TO do more effective work for their common
Lord. We believe that the Holy spirit is moving

however, that IN part from lack of cooperation

pose their resources that the largest possible area
OF our state should be provided with gospel priv

The resolutions then recommend measures
to discourage the establishment of churches
where there is not adequate support, or
where churches already established are suf-
fcient for the needs and for, united effort
where possible.

POINTS from the Debate on tho Dun
nell ell.
WASHINGTON. December 16-In the House
today. MIR, Mills. of Texas, as privileged
question, offered a concurrent resolution pro-
%. 1880. to January 8, 1891. Mr.. Dingley
moved its reference to the committee on
ways and means; agreed to.
Mr.. Dunnell, of Minnesota. called up as
privileged question, the apportionment bill,
and briefly explained its provisions. The
OIL appeared, he said, in response to the
requirements of the constitution, based upon
the eleventh census. In committee, it had
finally been determined to accept 356 as the
proper number of representatives. This
number were selected because the number
was the first reached between 332 and 375
that would secure to every state at least Its
present representation. With 356 members,
the ratio of population would be 173,901. If
the present representation was retained,
many states would lose one or more mem
bers.
Mr.. Flower of New York protested against
the passage of this bill in utter disregard of
well founded criticism of the census by the
peopl+. From Oregon to New York the peo
pie set up protest that they were improper
ly counted, but Notwithstanding these pro-
tests 1t was proposed to push this measure.
Mr.. Mills of Texas, while expressing an
intention to vote for the bill, criticised the
action and returns of the census bureau. He
believed New York lust the enumeration to
which she was entitled. Her loss was not as
great as the loss in the enumeration of the
population of his own state, which amounted
to 100000.
Mr.. Flower of New York offered an
amendment, increasing to 80 the representa-
tion from New York.
MIR. Cummings of New York, on the basis
OF the police enumeration of New York, fa-
vored increasing the representation to 81,
ana giving New York an additional repre-
sentative.
MIR. Spinola of New York, characterized
the pending measure as an absolutely politi-
Cal piece 0f legislation. In his Judgment the
errors in New York city were wilful mis-
takes made by the enumerators. Every
enumerator was Republican, and in Une in
stance notorious criminal was elected in
New York as an eDumeratOr.
Mr.. Vaux of Pennsylvania, claimed the
census was got up by the Republican party
Just as that party got up the force bill, in or
der to secure representation in the House
which 1t could not secure by the expression
of the people.
Mr.. Llhd of Minnesota, favored the Nc
Rae amendmen I. He thought it but fair to
give New York, Arkansas and Minnesota
each an additional representative.
, MI Blggs OF California. complained that
San francisco had not had a fair enumera-
tion. He ascribed it to the fact that not one
enumerator was Democrat.
Mr.. Dunnell OF Minnesota, spoke earnestly
in favor of the bill. The city of New York
IN making demand for recount, ignored
every provision of law. IL never seemed
reasonable to the committee that New York
should be granted special privilege. No
other city came here disregarding the law.

LUBRICATING FINANCIAL BEARINGS.
The Stream of Money Flowing From
Uncle Sans Treasury.
What Is Paid to Pensioners In the

Is the Present Money strIngency a
Cause or Effect7
Especial to the PRESS. ]

WASHINGTON, December 16 The intimate
relations of the government to the business
OF the country has been brought to the at
tention of every reader Of the papers In the
last few weeks by the persistent call upon
Congress to do something for business by
putting more money into circulation. 1t
has been assumed, whether truly or falsely,
that the cause Of the financial crisis is the
stringency of money. Some hard headed
men incline to the view that the crisis is the
cause of the stringency of money but the
majority of those who are making the out
cry take the other view ana unite in press
ing Congress to buy more silver bullion, or
more bonds, or d. something else to put out
among the people more money. But how
many people realize what the government is
already doing in the way of pouring out
money, like lubricating fluid, upon those
bearings of society where the most creak-
ings are likely to be heard? 1t is known in a
general way that the government expends
for pensions from hundred to a hundred
and thirty millions of dollars year. The
great effect such disbursement must have
upon the entire business interests of the
country is less often thought of.
