Col. Eastman was born in Concord, N.
H., but his father moved to Maine and set
tied in Pittston when the subject of this
sketch was mere boy. Later he moved
to Phillips where Col. Eastman grew up to

PRINT CLOTH wAakeT
roreshadows Greater and General Reduction
OF Wages In Some Mills.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Feb. 1l.-Saturday .
report of the condition of the print cloth
market is scanned very closely by members
of the weavers' and spinners' unions be-
cause the well informed local papers re-
Gently printed hints of possible general
reduction in wages. In the corresponding
week last year, goods were selling at four
cents yard, instead of 2 7-8 cents, as at
present, and 221 900 pieces were then sold,
compared with $4,000 this year. The
productions were $1,000 pieces less last
year, and there was no stock on hand, as
against 271 900 pieces this year.
If the present conditions hold two
months, and there does not seem to be any
likelihood of immediate change, some mills
now making fine goods will change their
looms to produce print cloths. Many New
Epgland mills have already thus changed.
Fine fabrics are not in demand. With this
excess in production continuing, and the
stopping of fine goods mills some we'll
known manufacturers will urge still further
reductions in wages. Their views, reflected
in the papers, are causing uneasiness.

FRANCE F0ILED
And Germany Has Arrived At an Amicabis ua-
dsrstandlng with Russia.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE banquet at the
Russian embassy last night 10 bound to
provide food for reflection in all the cap
itals Of the continent. Count Schouvaloff,
Russian ambassador to Germany took ad-
vantage of the occasion to speak warmly Of
the commercial entente just accomplished
and add few words pointing to further
understanding between Russia and Germany
in the interest of the peace Of Europe. HIS
speech is blow 10 sEsance, defeating all
the expectations aroused In Paris by the
naval demonstration Of the Russians at
Toulon last fall. q K
An analysis of the treaty with Russia
shows that the chancellor got the hest terms
possible. He conceded only the tariff
rates offered Russia in June, 1891, prior to
the tariff war. The Cz.r leaves the
ratification of the treaty open for year.
Attached to the treaty is curious stipula-
ton that Prussia shall introduce in the
landtag a bill proposing . monopoly in
the production Of explosives and
magnesium and potassium salts.

WEEKS WORK
For Congress Includes Many
important Matters.
May Be a Vote on Bland Seignio.age
Bill.
The Committee wants More Time to Tinker
The rarin si'I.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-One of the
events Of the week in Congress 10 expected
to be vote in the Bland seiRnoraRe bill,
providing the measure is not sidetracked be-
fore the legislative stage 10 reached. 1t 10
not expected in any event that . decisive
vote can be had before Wednesday after
noon probably not before Thursday. The
chairman of the committee on. the whole
on Friday last announced that upwards of
40 gentlemtn desired TO-. speak
on the bill. 1t 10 not pbable
all this number will be heard, but 10 vaIc to
assume more than twenty on list viii At
tempt to address the House at greater or
less length. There cannot be more than
two hours debate on the b II Monday, 40 the
Stanford eulogies have been made special
order for O'Clock that day. The contested
election case of ONeill, (Democrat) W.
Joys, (Republican) the sitting men,
est. Louis) district, has the right
way as question of highest privilt &c
if Mr.. Patterson of Tennessee, who has it
in charge, on behalf of the committee on
elections should choose to insist on his
rights. Sometime during the week this
matter is sure to come up. 1t has teen
agreed that six hours shall be set aside for
consideration of this case, which will, of
course, carry it over to the following day
before q vote can be reached.
After this case 10 disposed of the appro-
priations committee will bring forward some
bills reported by them which are now on
the House calendar. Five Of these meas-
ures are the urgent deficiency, fortifca-
tions, pensions, District of Columbia and
.uudry civil. In the Senate there may be
some renewal of the Hawaiian debate.
Senator Daniels and Senator Gray, the lat
ter me mber of the committee on foreign
relations. have given notice of speeches on
that subject which will not probably be de-
ferred until the report of the committee is
male.
The Berry bill requiring railroads in In
dian Territory to stop at town sites is unfin-
ished business. An adjournment over from
Thursday till the following Monday may be
expected, so to give the committee now en-
gagged in revision of the tariff bill further
opportunity to complete its labors. In the
event that the committee on judiciary
should dispose of the Peckham nomination
at its meeting, there may be short but
savage contest in executive tession.

afternoon. The loss is nearly $3.50, 600
The fire started near the boiler house aut
communicated to the elevator and a tier o.
closets running up three stories near tht
main wall of the east armory. The build
ing where the fire originated was of stone
and brick, three stories and nearly 400 feet
long, connecting the east and west armories
Before the fire department got to work, the
blaze worked its way up to and into the
attic and got beyond the control of the en-
zines which the first alarm called ont. A
entire fire department.
The firemen Of the first engine that got
to wo,k laid line of hose up the stairway
near the closets the flames made such rapid
progres, that the hose burnt off and the
men were obliged to leave. BY the time

progress on the floor below. For some rea-
son the stairs leading to the attic could not
be found, and the flames made rapid pro-
gress among the seasoned gun stocks and
aher combustible material stored there.
Finally line of hose was run up into the
attic of the west arnory, and in through
the iron door the fIemen faced smoke and
fire for nearly half an hour. 1t was the
