Scramble at Lewiston.

LEWISTON, Idaho, Nov. 15.-The
Northern Pacific and Navigation COM
panies are locating lines in the Nez
Perces country. Appearances indicate
lively contest between the two COM
panies. 1t looks as if there will be
plenty of railroad building in the Pacific
coast states. The Northern Pacific is the
aggressor. The Navigation company is
supposed to be backed by the Union
Pacific and the Great Northern roads
and the contest promises lively one.
Bonds will be plenty. 1t looks as if
dividends will go into new rail lines in
stead of the stockholders.
All the railroad officers who have been
interviewed are extremely reticent, but
the surveyors gangs are doing great
deal of talking and are supposed to be
we'll posted.

DRY GOODS.

New York, November 25.-The dry
goods market opened firm after the
holiday with but a moderate attend
ance of buyers and only a quiet spot
business. The contributions to the de-
mand were, however, considerable, and
sales in the aggregate reached fair
total The condition of the foreign
goods division continues unsatisfactory
to importing interests. A generally
quiet market on the spot was reported
in staple cottons to-day on account Of
the home trade. Bleached cottons
have not sold to as full an extent as of
late, but this is natural after the liberal
business Of the past ten days. Low
grade bleached are firm without any
material change in character Of the de-
mand. Regular print cloths and mar

San Francisco, November 25.-The
battleship Wisconsin, which is to be
launched at the Union Iron Works to-

fornia- built battleship not christened
with the native wine of the State. 1t

secure the pledge of the committee to
use his company's production in the

inadvertently gave her promise to use
the wine selected by the committee
The Wisconsin excursionists, who ar
rived here to-day, brought the cham
