A.VALUABLE DOG 'I hieves Enter h House and Menl a Pair of Trousers and a silver Watch While the Oog is Taking a Nap. Lewiston. June 22. Burglars went through the house of Fred 0. Tarr, on Ash street, Sunday night. It was done between 12 o’clock and morning. A light is kept burning in the sleeping room, during tlie night, and Mr. Tarr awoke at 12 o’clock, when he is sure that everything was as he it ft it upon retiring. Monday morning the marks of the thieves’ visit were plain enough. The wire screen over the win dow by which they enterid had been slit up with a knife, and vines that grow about the window had been pu-iied aside. Two rooms liehetwetn the window and the sleeping roam. The doors were open and the light in the sleeping room evidently led the thief's footsteps in that direction. He stole Mr. Tart's trousers, which contained about four I dollars in loose change in his pockets, and idcked his watch and chain out of his vest. It is thought tiiat nothing else in the house was disturbed. A Spaniel dog that has for merly proved a zealous watch-dog, slept through it all. He didn’t emit a yelp, nr if he did nobody heard it. The silence of the dog seems inexplicable to his owner. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Of the Maine State College at Orono— Essays Deliveied. Orono, June 22.

Great Dissatisfaction Exists Among the Posts from Other States Cver the Action of the Cit izens’ Committee. Portland, June 22. All day long to-day the tramp of measured feet through the streets of the city of Port land and the strains of martial music as post after post of the Grand Army of the Rypub lic marched fro.n jhe depots to camp have marked the inauguaration of the l'Jih annu al National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. The arrivals of delegations from various parts of the United States have formed a steady and almost uninterrupted procession from morning until night. So far as po-sible each arriving delegation was given an escort from the depot to the great Camp U. S. Grant, on Monjoy Hill, Eastern Prome nade. and escorts and delegations have filled tile streets with Unrobing Squads of Veterans, who accompanied by bands of music have attracted thousands of citizens and unofficial visitors to the sidewalks as they passed by on their way to quarters. The Btreets of the city hare fairly teemed with life since early morning, prontenaders and equestrians being out in splendid array, and both being admirably attired or mounted. Every sort of vehicles has been pressed into service from the primitive buckboard to the imposing landau or barouche, and the streets themselves have presented a motley array of conveyances from morning till midnight. Prom one end of Congress street to the other there has been an unbroken tide oY pedestrians to and from the great encamp ment. Every railroad leading into Portland h«s emptied cargo alter cargo of human freight, both uniformed and unofficial, from Every Purl of the United States. Ttiey have come from California, from other states on the Pacific slope, from the Gulf States, from the Lower Atlantic, the Middle Atlantic and Middle States, from the Mississ ippi and the Lower Lake region. New Eng land has turned out her full compliment of posts and moreover thousands of her unoffi cial citizens iiave come. Tonight Portland is crowded to overflowing, yet every ad ditions! train brings additional numbers. The schedule time was abandoned on all routes early in the day and trains were run in wild, but not wildly. Excellent management and wise forethought on the part of the great railway lines ieading into the city have had the most pleasing effect of having carried the affairs throughout a great crisis, with not even an unfortunate accident to mar the per fections of tlie arrangements. There has been some confusion in the matter of provid ing accommodations for so many Thousands of Visitors, but this has been unavoidable. A great many of the western departments which some time ago previously announced to the executive committee here that they would bring a certain number of men have brought, in some cases, nearly twice as many as first announced would come with them. A great many of them telegraphed yesterday for ad d.ttonal accommodations in various cases for from 100 to 500 men. This added to the un expected pressure on the committee for ac commodations from unofficial visitors has had the inevitable result of creating confu sion. All that able management and numer ical strength could do, howtver, lias been done, and as night settles over the camp the men who have arrived are making their quarters c imforttble for the night, others are sttii arriving and will continue to arrive dur ing the entire night. Each department or post, as it Comes will be promptly escorted to quarters for the night, and everything promises to run.smoothlv. There is no doubt that there is a vastly greater number of both official and unofficial visitors here than had been expected and a great many more than accommodations had been provided for. Citixens have come forward cheerfully, how ever, and many private houses are' tonight thrown open for tbe^ntertaiument of strang ers. It likely that all who arrive tonight will be comfortably provided for. The Department of Maine Has turned out grandly, as has alto that of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the other New England States. One hear* a very great deal on all -idr in regard to toe liquor q ie*tion. For day* there hai been threats on the part of the temperance leaders that any attempts to smuggle 1-quorinto Portland dur ing llie present week wilt be met by instant seizures; that particular vigilence was to be exercised in order to defeat all such attempt*. In this connection it may be said that tons, almust.uf circulars have been sent out, some ot them aiidresaed to m tubers of the Grand Array, beseaching them lo observe ord« r, propriety and the laws of the Stats of Maine during the week of encampment. These cir culars and appeals have been widely distiib uted in response >o the urgent requests of the temperance leaders, who issued them tonight. The astoci ited press i* in receipt of the fol lowing telegram, which seem* to have been inspired by one of the circulars ot the kind referred to above: Newport, Vi., June 22. To the Associated Press Two thousand comrade* of the Grand Army of the K.pulie have read the dispatches regarding tbe appointment of »p cial police men to guard the live* and property of the people of Portland. We call your attemion to tire fact that in times past we were the po lice ot the nation, and twenty years has nut diminished our respect for law and order. We come unarmed and on a peaceful mis sion, as vuur guests at your institution, and respectfully ask permission to enter your city unmolested by special police or special investigating comramittee. (Signed) Departments of Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, Or, g 01, Dakuto, Mis souri, Nebraska and Michigan. There is no denying the fact that the pe culiar wording of tile circular sent out by the earnest advocates of temperance, have had the efiect of creating no small degrte of Ite-eutmeut on the Part of the Visitors irom oilier Slates, and, indeed very many of tile visiting departments claim that to issue such circulars to a body of men so old in the years :n ihe service, and in distinguished honors as that of the Grand Army, is scarcely less than an insuit. That such teelirgs would be created, w as foreseen by many of the leading citizens of Portland. Nut long after preparations lor the Encampment be gan and to the discouragement, which most of them felt due to the the renin katrle activ ity of the prohibitionist lead, rs, may be at tribute,! much of the apathy tii.at has pre vailed among the citizens, indicated by the slowness of sub-criptioiis as well as by the comparative meagremss uf the decorations. The City Uatl is the only public building decorated, and it can hardly be said that the decorations elsewhere are prutuse. The first day of the encampment has passed without incident of unusual pleasantness, and with many indications that never in the history ol the G. A. K. has the present national encamp ment been equalled. Tile scene at the en campment at night is One ol Remarkable lieanty. The Eastern Promenade is covered with snowy white tents, over which the electric light throws gleams of brilliancy, while as one locks down on the great camp from Munjoy Hill, the alternate lines of light and shadow form a most delightful and ever changing pic ture. Anival ol Comraander-in-ChieT Konntz. Commander-in-Chief Kountz and escort, Dahlgren Post ot Boston, arrived in tbe city tonight, shortly after ti o'clock in a special train over the Western Division of the Bos ton Maine. The staiion platform was crowded with people anxious to gets glimpse of the commander of the great organization. Commander Kountz stood for a few minutes on the platform and then entered the waiting room of the station, while bis escort formed on the outside. The fine appearance of the escorting post was favorably commented upon on all sides. Commander Arthur Neilton was in charge. Dahlgren fife and drum corps accompanied the post. After the line had been formed Commander Kountz and party entered the carriages and were escorted through some of the principal streets being joined en route by Bosworth Post of Portland, accompanied by the Chandler’s band. At the Falmouth Hotel Commander Konntz alighted and his escort was dismissed. Commander Konntz remaineJ in the hotel during the evening, holding an informal re ception. Late in the evening the Command er was driven to the residence of Col. Moore in Deering, whose guest he will be during his stay in the city. The grand reception to the Commander-in ehi f occurs at City Hail, to mnrrotr evening. Tbe hall has been beautifully decorated. A Magnificent Picture, representing an encampment occupies the rear of the stage. The entire interior of the hall is (Gracefully testooned with bunting and the walls are literally covered with the na tional colors. At to-morrow night's recep tion the welcome to Commander Kountz will be delivered by Gen. James A. Hall, Depart ment commander of Maine, followed by a welcoming address bv Gov. liobie on behalf of the State. M tyor Deering will then wel come the command, r in behalf of the city of Portland. Commander Kountz will respond f >r the Grand Army, and there will be brief ad dresses by Gen. Login, Hon. Hannibal Ham lin, Gov. Algier and other distinguished visitors. At 9.30, camp fires will be lighted on either side of the Encampment on the East ern Promenade, and there will be a Grand Di-play of Fiieworks on the water front. Gen. John A. Logan and a delegation pf the Grand Army from Washington, D. C., arrived from Boston this evening by the steamer City of Columbia. They were ac companied by Posts from Boston and various placet in Massachusetts, and a large number of friends. Much enthusiasm was created bv the reception tendered Gen. Logan on the dock by the Massachusetts men, every one of whom insisted on hand* with the G neral Gen. Logan was loudly cheer*!. Mrs. Login, who accompanied the General, came in for a share of the warm greetings. For an hour b-fore the Columbia arrived, great crowd* of people gathered at her wharf. Comrade D. W.

The cholera epednmic in Spain exists at present principally in Gasteilon, Valencia, Alicante and Murcia, where it made its apjiearance last year. These are south eastern provinces on the Mediterranean, and about a year ngo they suffered pro longed and disastrous inundations.
