THE COTTON MILL STRIKE.
Massa achusetts' Legislative Commit-
tee Continues Its InyestigatiOn.

Lawrence, Mass, March 3.-The leg
islative committee on labor continued
its investigation into the cause of the
recent reduction of wages in the cotton
mills of Massachusetts this morning.
Agent Walter i. Parker of the Pacific
Mills, was the first witness of the
day. He said that in his opinion the
depression in the cotton industry dates
from the general business depression
In 1873 He added that the matter of
reducing wages was considered more
than year ago, Oh account of the
condition of business, but it was deem
ed advisable to defer action in hope
that the businCss conditions would inn
prove.
Mr. Parker was unable to give the
average wages since the cut down, as
no data had been compiled. The cut
averaged 6,72.
Mr. Parker was asked 20 give the
rate of wages paid in 1891, which was
before the tifty-eight hour law went
into effect, and Mr.. Parker gave fig
ures to show that the rate of wages
paid in 1895 averaged 1.05 higher than
in 1891. He declared that the number
OF operatives in the weave rooms had
diminished 40 per cent. since 1891, while
the production remains the same.

OFFICERS ORDERED OUT.
They win Take Charge of the New
War Crafts.

Philadelphia, March 3.-Lieutenant
William A. Gill, U. s. N, in charge Of
the photographic office in the Bourse
the past two years, received orders
from the navy department today to
report for active duty on the monitor
Miantonomoh, March 10. The Mian-
tonomoh Is in course of hurried prep
aration for sea service and is expected
to join the Amphitrite, Monadnock,
Terror and others of her class at that
time.
No successor has been named to Lieu
tenant Gill; but as the photographic
office is of greater Importance in time
of war than in times of peace, the sta
ton will not be long vacant. Lieuten-
ant Gill was to have reported on the
battleship Maine before the day of her
sailing from Key West to Havana har-
Dor, to relieve Lieutenant Blandin, who
was the officer of the watch on the
night of the disaster.
Two other officers Of the big monitor,
the chief engineer and his assistant,
arrived today and were formally re-
ceived by the commandant. These are
Chief Engineer William NJ. Parks, who
has lately been inspector Of the Colum-
bian Iron works in Baltimore and Past
Assistant Engineer Matthews, late of
the Brooklyn navy yard. After sub
mitting their orders to Captain Casey
they made an examination of the Mian-
tonomoh. Both were well pleased with
her condition.
Three drafts of seamen were received
at the navy yard today aggregating
thirty men. Nine of these came from
the Brooklyn navy yard and were as
signed to service on the Columbia.
Twelve from Boston and nine from
Norfolk were quartered on the Rich
mond to await service on board the
Miantonomoh.
The commanding officers for the crui-
sers Columbia and Minneapolis have
not yet been announced, but it is said
unofIicially at the yard that Captain
Sands, formerly of the Columbia, will
be in command of the Minneapolis, and
Captain j. j. Reed, of Mount Holly, ~
j.. now on the reserve list, will have
charge of the Columbia.
The announcement from Washington
that Captain Mortimer johnson has
keen assigned to the Miantonomoh as
commanding officer was received with
much favor en- board that vessel. The
choice is a popular one among the mon
who will make up her crew.
The work of scraping the cruiser Co.
lumbia will be started tomorrow. An
examination of her bottom was made
today and it was found that in some
parts where the paint had been rubbed
OFF she was slightly rusted. The two
big turrets on the Miantonomoh We're
turned today for the first time in a
year and worked satisfactorily. The
deck Of the Katahdin, within the steel
casing, is now being caulked. Her ma
chinery is reported to be in first-class
condition.

VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION.
The Seventh National Bank of Phiia-
deInhia VIII Close.

Philadelphia, March 3.-The directors
of the Seventh National bank have de-
cided to go into liquidation and to
merge the business with that of the
Fourth Street National bank. The
bank is perfectly solvent, but it has
experienced a decided diminution of
business of late and it was considered
best to at once go into voluntary liqui-
dation and close up it's affairs.
The Seventh National is one of the
oldest banks in the city, having been
organized III 1864. It's capital was re-
duced several years ago from $250,000
10 100000. The Fourth Street Nation
al will honor all checks of the other
banks creditors.

Pittsburg, March 3.-A Washington
despatch TO the Times. c. l.. Magee's
paper, seems to throw new light on
the gubernatorial question. The Times
correspondent says:
"Vith the return of Senator Quay to
WASHINGTON the visits of Pennsylvania
politicians here have begun again. EN-
Secretary of the Commonwealth Frank
Reeder was here awaiting his arrival,
and had long conference with him.
w. Fl. Sanger, Of Delaware county, who
IS announced as a candidate for gov
ernor. is also here, and the presence of
State Representatives Perry NJ. Lytle,
of Huntingdon, and Webster C. Weiss,
of Northampton; Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue r. +. Penman, of Scran-
ton; Charles f. Kindred, of Philadel-
phia, and others of lesser note shows
that the pot is beginning to boil again.
Coincident with the senator's arrival,
runors are current that Representa-
tive w, A. Stone is to be dropped as
a gubernatorial candidate. 1t is true
that Colonel stone stiIl stoutly pro-
tests that he is in the fight to stay
until the end, but nevertheless almost
every one here seems imbued with the
said, however, that he will be let down
easy, As Colonel Stone has announced
that he will not be a candidate again
for congress, though his friends here
claim he could get the nomination even
if he did not go into the contest until
the day before the primaries, it is re-
ported that he can have either the sec
retaryship of the commonwealth or the
oIrl,;
state administration.

It should turn out that way, conjec-
ture is busy as to who will get the
nomination. Representative C. w.
Stones friends believe that he will get
much of the strength that might have
gone to the Allegheny county man. UP
in the northeast counties the support
ers of Representative William Connell
of Scranton, say that c. w. Stone will
get most of Connelrs votes should he
drop out before a nomination is made.
1t is claimed that the Warren repre-
sentative is popular everywhere and
the second choice in most of the sec
tions which have a local candidate.
Others think that a new man will come
into the field, and at present Judge
Charles Il. Rice, of Wilkes Barre, pres
ident Judge of the superior court, is
being favorably mentioned. 1t is per-
haps significant that some of Senator
Quav's most active adherents are talk
ing of Judge Rice. lie will have seven
years from Jan. 1, 1899, to serve on the

the gubernatorial term is only four
years, and the salary $4,000, but the
latter position would be enough to
tempt any man from judicial duties"
