MAY SHUTDOWN.
Fall River Cotton Business in
a Bad Wav.
A Cutdown in Wages Would Not Result in the
CurtaiIment OF Production.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 27.-The an
nual meeting Of the Cotton Manufacture
ers' association was held yesterday after
noon, and the officers of last year were re-
elected: Bradford ID. Davol president;
Holder B. Durfee, vice president; C.. c.
Rounsville, secretary and treasurer.
After the regular business Of the meet
Ing had been transacted the business stu
alton was discussed. The opinion that
business was In q bad way WAS unan-
imous, but methods Of remedy and relief
proposed were almost rs many as the
members present. Arguments were
offered In favor of q cutdown in wages
and of shutdown. A strong claim was
made that q outdown would not relieve
the strain. The present price for cloth
left most Of the mills with loss, and thu
stock on hand was constantly increasing
A cutdown In wages would reduce cost
but IL would not result In a curtailment
Of production.
The weight Of opinion was that thers
had been m overproduction that pre-
vented normal demand for goods. The
general depression throughout the coun.
try was held to be even more responsible
for the bad business I'm cotton goods
No attempt was made 10 have any action
taken with regard to cutdown or shut
down. 1t was desired to get general ex-
preston of opinion from the manufac-
turers. The meeting was adjourned for
two weeks, when the situation will be
more fully discussed and possibly some
action taken.

A LUCKY MAN.
Ne is Struck BY an Engine And Landed In a
Snow Drift Safe and Sound.

The Old ColonyS train due in this city
at o :5i o'clock struck man last evening
near the Miller street bridge. The
engineer supposed the man was either
dead or badly injured and when he
stopped at the depot reported the matter
while some train hands went back TO
pick up the mangled remains. The
ambulance and a physician were tele-
phoned for and arrived in a few moments.
When the trainmen reached the spot
where the man Was struck he was not to
be found, but the outline OF mans form
in a snow bank on the side OF the track
showed how his life was saved. No one
knows who he is, but all agree that he is a
very lucky man. The ambulance re-
turned empty, the surgeon departed with
his implements and the train moved on.

Little TO Condemn by Ha-
Waiian Investigators.
AT TER Mr.. WILLIS SCALP.
Queen Was Ultimately Found Out to
Have Been the Real Rebel.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Nor
ksn, chairman Of the committee on for
sign relations, presented the report Of
that committee TO the senate yesterday.
II consisted Of q volume of nearly 300
pages exclusive Of msps) representing the
testimony taken by the senate committee
on foreign relations and their find
ings Of facts thereon, under . reso-
luton directing them TO inquire
whether any, and II 90. what irregulari-
ties have occurred In the diplomatic inter
course between the United States and Ha-
waii In relation to the recent revolution
The report of the majority Of the COM
mittee was prepared by the chairman, Mr.
Morgan Of Alabama.
1t exhaustively reviews the facts, the
laws and the precedents, justihes Mr.
Stevens actions excepting In proclaiming
a protectorate, and finds nothing irregu-
lar In the appointment Of Mr.. Blount, but
In effect says the evidence taken by tie
committee under more favorable circum-
stances leads the committee to different
conclusions than those which he formed.
The following are the principal points
brought out: That the presidents course
in the matter was right; that the nego-
tiation of the annexation treaty by ex-
President Harrison was all right; that
the action of ex-Minister Stevens. with
the exception Of the declaring OF pro-
tectorate, was all right; that Blount's ap-
pointment was all right; that his report
was meant to be all right, but was en-
tirsly wrong, because the queen happened
to be the real rebel which fact he (Blount)
did not know, in fact. about every body Is
whitewashed.
After Willis Scalp.
Mr. Boutells offered resolution In the
house reciting that the United States
would not permit the representative OF
any government to remain In the Capitol
who had intrigued with its enemies for
the overthrow Of it's government; and
that tho same rights should be conceded
to other governments. even the weakest;
therefore. be it resolved, that Minister
Willis be recalled and a minister sent TO
Honolulu who will represent the senti-
ments and wishes Of the United States.
The speaker ruled It was not question
of privilege, and sent the resolution to the
committee on foreign affairs.
