WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-While no in
formation of an official character is TO
be obtained at the white house regard
ing the successor to Colonel w. R. Nor
rison on the interstate commerce COM
mission, the belief is general that the
president has not yet decided whom he
will appoint.
1t was supposed for a time that Judge
Paxson of Pennsylvania had been def
nitely determined upon, but the indi.
cations now are that the president
will appoint a western man, probably a
man from Illinois, if those interested
can reach an agreement. 1t is reason
ably certain now that no decision will
be reached as to Colonel Morrison's
successor for several days.

LEWIS on. Me-, Jan. 5.-The reduc-
ton in the wages of the employees
of the cotton mills of Lewis
ton, which goes into effect Jan. II,
will amount to from 10 to Il 10 per
cent, and the other mills in Maine, as
far as is known, will adopt either one
or the other of these rates.

Edwards of Augusta, the Cabot of
Brunswick, the Lockwood of Water.
vile, the Gardiner mills and the La
coma and Pepperell mills of Biddeford
have. also joined the general movement.
and will be followed by the big York
corporation of Saco.
1t is estimated that nearly 10000
operatives will be effected in this state.
1t is thought there will be no strike in
Lewiston or Aubury. but it is difficult
to tell what the Biddford operatives
will do. The Lewiston and Aubury
mills employ about 5000 persons and
the reduction in their pay will amount
to about $4,000 month.
