The shutdown In tho Rhode Island Plant

PROVIDENCE, Il. l.. July 23.-The mills Of the
Lonsdale Company. which last Monday were
shut down for a week to curtail production. will
he started up again on Monday on full time.
When the mills closed it was said that the shut
down would he for a week Mt least. and many
thought il would be for n much longer time.
The expectation that the shutting down OF the
Lonsdalc Company's mills would be followed by
action on the part OF other manufactur-
crs has not been realized, no other Rhode
Island mills having closed during the week.
1t Is likely that the recent rains. which rcplen-
ished the low mill streams. had some weight in
deciding for many manufacturers the ques-
tion OF shutting down. The water gives
them power, and no one in the cotton business
likes to see 1t run TO waste. About 5000 hands
who have been having an enforced weeks va.
cation will resume work.

Washington, Aug. 6-Some facts OF interest
about the waning whale fisheries are con-

the so-called fisheries taken by American
vessels and fishermen, and brought into the
United States during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897.
These products are now brought into the
Un tied States at four ports only, Brunswick,
Ca, New Bedford, Mass, New York and San
Francisco Their value for the year was $702,-
400, of which the greater part, s502, ABB, Is re-
corded as having been entered at the port of
San Francisco. The New England ports are
scarcely any, longer to be considered in the
bust ness, the bulk Of whaling being done in
the Pacific. where the vessels engaged for the
most part carry the oil and whalebone TO
Honolulu, whence they are brought in other
vessels to San Francisco.
Included in the list Of whale products for
the year are nine pounds OF ambergris, two Of
which, entered at New Bedford, are valued at
$3.50, and seven at the port of New York, val

Galligan Seeks TO Recover $4,000
From Mccarthy.

Thomas Galligan of 121 Douglas avenue
has begun suit to recover $1,000 from
PatroIman Dennis MCCARTHY of the
Woodward square station for false i'm
prisonment The writ was issued by
Attorney Thomas Il. West this afternoon.
Mr.. GallRan's story is that on the
morning of July 4, while he was stand
ing at n lunsh cart waiting for a cup of
coffee TO be handed to him, Officer Nc
Carthy came along. and though he, CALI
gan. lad many times conversed with the
officer, no demanded Galligan's name.
There were some words OF not I'M
plensant nature and GalliRan was sur
prised 20 have Mccarthy take him to q
patrol box and summon the burry-up.
AT the station Galligan claims the officer
made charge against him OF being a
suspicious character.
MIR. Galligan further states that shortly
nfterward Lieut.. Murray came down,
and recognizing him let him go on his
way. The next move on Mr.. GalliRan's
part was to interview Chief Of Police
Baker.
The latter, according TO Mr.. Galligan,
offered TO have the blotter changed so that
his name would not appear. This the
man refused to have done, saying no had
been 80 years resident OF this city
The next thing Galligan did was to
prefer charges against the officer which
the chief took A few days after the chief
wrote 90 Galligan that the charges were
not such as could be properly laid befor
the Board OF Aldermen.
