Making the Tramps Shovel Snow.


New London, Conn, February ia
representative of the Bath Iron Works is
expected here next week to look over
the field and consult New London
capitalists regarding the removal of that
esta blishment to this city. Gen. Hyde
has publicly announced that the iron
works would go away from Bath if
sufficient inducement was offered, and
the people of this city are anxious to
secure the concern if possible. What in
ducement would be offered has not been
made known though committee of the
local board of trade has had an interview
with Gen. Hyde. Mayor Bentley, Presi-
dent Ware of the Board of Trade, and in
fuential citizens are considering the
matter this evening. It is understood
one of the things Bath people will insist
upon is the establishment of dry dock
here which will accommodate the largest
vessels afoat, craft 600 to 700 feet long,
the dry dock to be maintained by com.
pany formed for the purpose and COM
posed chiefly of New London capitalists.
There is nossuch dry dock and equip
ment in the country as contemplated ex-
cept at Newport News What action the
New London people will take i'll the
matter is unknown now, but there is a
disposition to secure the iron works here
if possible.

sENAToRLopGE's REASONS.
Why He Supported Hornblower and OPP
posed Peckham.

Concerning his vote against the con-
frmation of Peckham, Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts, makes the following
statement:
II voted for Horn blower and against
Peckham. The question OF senatorial
courtesy, about which SO much has been
said in the newspapers, had no We1ght
with me, and has very little weight,
/ think. with any senator.
The same may be said of the .actlonal
fight between Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.
Hill. In both cases reached mydeclslon
without any reference to either OF these
points.
81 voted for Mr.. Hornblower because
| considered him in all ways fit for the
position for which he was nominated,
little evidence against his fitness.
In the case of Mr.. Peckham, while
there was nothing to be said against his
character or professional ability, there
were grave objections to him on the
score of age and temper. l don't think
it wise to put on the Supreme bench men
over so years of age, and the soundness
OF this policy has been recognized by the
judicial penison law and by the practice
of the Senate.
"There were large number of pro-
tests against Mr.. Peckham's confirmation
and great deal of serious testimony as
to his not possessing the proper judicial
temper of w hich his despatch to Judge
Caldwell repuditaing in violent language
an order of the court was an unfortunate
example.
But that which weighed most against
him with me was the manner in which
patronage appeared to be used by the adj
ministration in the attempt to secure
votes for his confirmation, joined with
the exertion apparently of every sort OF
influence of which the head of the gov
eminent was capable.
Il cannot conceive of nything worse or
more demoralizing than to have con-
firmations to Office secured by appoint
nnents to other Offices or by threats OF
removal from Office.
against such methods propose al
ways to protest and vote in accordance
with my conception of plain public
duty.
I'm addition to this, I was disguised
by the efforts of railroad corporations.
through letters and kilograms, to secure
votes for Mr.. Peckham.
SSome of these corporations have suits
pending. All are likely to. have them,
and don't think that a judge OF the SUI
preme Court should be under any obi
cations for support of this character.
II shall always be ready to vote
against the confirmation of any man for
judicial Office in whose behalf such
methods are employed as, on the best
information / could get, | believe to
have been employed by the administra-
iton in the case of Mr.. Peckham."

SEEN BY STUDENTS.
Yale Collegians the Spectators at a Brutal
Prize Fight.

New Haven, Conn, February 1.-THE
most brutal prize fight that has taken
plack in the city for many years was
fought in room of a Chapel street
building last night. The contestants
were Billy Russell and Jack Dillon,
two we'll known middle-weight pugilists,
The fight was witnessed almost entirely
by Yale students, among them being
sons of very prominent New York, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago families.
The fight lasted for nearly two hours, and
was most horrible sight. Russell was
about two inches taller and weighed full
" 10 pounds more than his adversary
The men fought with skin tight gloves,
and the contest was to a finish for
purse. By the tenth round the floor OF
the ring was literally covered with blood.
Dillon was terribly punished, his mouth
cut and his lips swollen to three times
their natural size. His right eye was
closed in the twelfth round, and in the
fourteenth his left eye was shut up tight
and he sank exhaused, and the fight was
awarded to Russell.

The Bath Iron Works.

To the Editor Of the Press:
From the published statements of the
treasurer and president of the Bath Iron
Works, it appears to be foregone con-
clusion that this great industry which
has achieved national and even world
wide reputation is to remove it's plant,
and will locate where the best induce
ments are offered.
1t certainly would be great misfor-
tune to the State of Maine to lose this
industry, employing nearly 1000 men, and
should all efforts to induce them to re-
build their plant in Bath prove unavail-
ing, as it seems altogether probable on
account of the unjust treatment which
they claim to have received, why should
not Portland be in the field, possessing
as has been conceded superior advan-
tages for the location of such an indus
try?
A few years ago large amount of
money was readily subscribed and great
enthusiasm aroused to have the state
capital transferred to this city, and I'M
doubtedly the object was worthy of the
efforts enlisted towards that end, and it
certainly seems that the advantages
which must accrue to this city in the
event of such an important industry as
this being established here are worthy of
as much consideration and activity.
1t seems that the time is now ripe, and
the end in view worthy of active and
well directed efforts on the part of our
citizens, perhaps through the medium of
cooperative committees on the part of
the City Council and Board of Trade.
Inasmuch as some ten other cities are
making efforts in this direction, it is to
be hoped that Portland will take more
than a passive interest in the matter.

SHUT DOWN OR CUT DOWN.
Disagreeable Alternative for Fall River
Mill Operatives.

Fall River, Mass. February 1S.-A
movement is aleady afoot here to reduce
wages in the local mills if the present
business holds out four weeks longer.
One of the largest owners in four or
five different mills told one of This
treasurers the latter part of the week
that he did not approve of running much
longer, while goods. are selling at present
prices. He declared, positively, that the
operatives would be asked to choose be-
tween a shut down or a cut down before
the first of April. In response the
treasurer said that he did not believe. the
other agents would consent to a shut
down, but thought a majority would
vote for cut down if the matter was
brought before them.
Several nIanufa cturers wanted to cut
wages lastl fall more than eventual
ly agreed upon, shut at that time
majority a.of the mill owners
were looking forward to a
fair spring trade after the opening of the
new year, and would not agree to
larger reduction for that reason. Last
weeks markdown of the American
Printing company's products caused
many treasurers to lose hope for a per-
manent advance in prices before summer.
Inasmuch as most have been running
without making much money, they felt
free to express themselves in favor of a
further decline in the prices of labor
Last weeks AAtsa les were but 12S,000
pieces. and the stock on hand went up
$4,000 pieces. One hundred and twenty
six Thousand pieces. have been sold for
delivery nextsweek, and only $4,000 pieces
for the week following. A few treasurers
do not wish to even speak OF cutting
down. One said within few days that
he prefers to let New Bedford, Lowell
and other places take the initiative. If
reductions were accepted in those places
he would robe willing to- take similar
action \ IA. = nst.E.e

THINKS CANADA WOULD FIGHT.
Attorney General Powell Does Not Admit
v4yg7Ef &
that Uncle Sam Would Have an Easy
Victory.

Ottawa, Ont, February 17.-Sir
George Cheney, an English military ex-
pert. recently made an address, in which
he said: 1T would be impossible for
us to prevent the occupation of Canada
by the forces of the United States. 1t
would neither be useful nor practicable
for the government to prepare any meas
ure for the defence of Canada"
Adjutant General Powell, speaking on
this subject last night, said he did not
agree with Sir George Chesney, and
pointed out several reasons why Canada
would not fall an easy prey to the
United States. In the first place. the
American people would be divided upon
the expectancy of taking Canada by
military force, and SO an invading army
could only be drawn from that section
which was favorable to it unless by con-
scription, while on the other hand,
Canadians would be united and would
be able to offer substantial resistance.
