Feet of Lumber in Canada.

mill managers and operatives are appar-
entity as far apart as at first. At Poto.
maks mill the help were paid off full,
including the cloth on the looms, which
looks as if the mill will shut down for
an indefinite period, and the mill folks
mean to fight the battle until the opera
tives are willing to go to work at their
figures. Wamsutta m ills paid off in full
here also and the fight promises to be
long and bitter. The mill operatives
today have. taken advantage Of the pleas

Some Political Gossip.
Washington, August 26.-If ever there has
been a lingering hope of more legislation
during the remainder of this session of Con-
gress, the hope was dispelled by the remark
made behind closed doors Friday afternoon
by Mr.. Quay. THAT it is to be understood
there should be no more legislation at this
session in connection with the contested
Matters This was aequiesced in.
The closing days of the session have been
marked by number of peculiar incidents.
One has been the transaction of legislative
business behind closed doors. The Senators
of both parties have number of measures
that require only finalsaction of the Senate
to enact them. The Republicans were not
willing to provide a quorum nor would they
permit business to proceed in open session
by unanimous consent. For fear the Demo-
Gratis would by some means find an oppor-
tunity to make campaign speeches they
were prepared. For this reason legislative
business against which no objection is made,
was transacted behind closed doors by
general consent Thursday and Friday. IN
der this arrangement no speeches could be
madesa thesRecord is prevented from be-
coming vehicle for the dissemination of
alleged campaign literature. The Republi-
cans are not the only ones who offered OBJ
jections to the consideration of contested
matters. Mr.. Blanchard effectdally blocked.
for this session. at least, any effort to
change the rules to provide for closure. It
was disued to have the committee
sit during the recess to consider many
amendments to the rules referred to the
committee, and he asked consent to this
arrangement Friday. Mr.. Blanchard who
sees in closure possibility of free sugar,
entered an emphatic objection.
Probably there will be no legislation of
any sort tomorrow orssTuesday. Tomorrow's
session will probably be short, affording
more than anything else an opportunity for
the Vice President to announce his sigma
ture to various bills. A few odds and ends
may be cleared up, but nothing more than
that. Tuesday the President will send a
message with the approval or disapproval of
various matters that reach him at the last
moment, and at 2 y. 10. the second session of
the 58rd Congress will stand adjourned with
out day.
