Colonial Question Pre-Eminent !a Brlt leh Politics London, Feb. It; —The colonial question (his week overshadow* every oiher in Kngland. Premier JRhodes is in London from South Africa, demanding a South African federation and virtually a license also for the British colooists there to do as they like with the Portuguese. Newfound land threatens secession from the empire, and anada occasions the most lively anxiety on account of the reported move ment io favor of commercial union with the United States, which is here interpreted as messing political union in the not dis tant future. Australia is comparatively calm, waiting for the handsome fleet which is to make that island continent mistress of the southern seas. But even Australia sends complaints that too much Indulgence is shown to France and Germany in that neighborhood and that those powers must be warned away from further encroachments. Under these cir cumstances it is not strange that the Brit ish government has awakened to the neces sity of doing something and that the route to Asia and Australia by way of Vancouver and the Canadian Pacific is beiog energet ically pushed. In addition to this, leading British Con servatives and prominent colonist* have heen during the week in consultation as to some fiscal arrangement for improving the relations between Great Britain aid the Greater Britan, bat no satisfactory plan bss ytt been evolved. While England offers free trade to all the world, she has nothing to offer to the colonies in the way of compensation for special exemptions to British trade. On the other hand, Lord Salisbury hesitates to propose an economic revolution, which the adoption of a protective tariff, with ex emption for the colonies, would mean. Lord Dunraven and others, however, see no other way oat of the problem. Canada calls for reciprocity with some nation able to consume her surplus products. Most of her people would prefer Great Britain, but if not Great Britain, then the United Stites is the only country worth considering. Such is the question which confronts the Cabinet and the people, and for the time overshadows e ven Irish home rule. It is a question which appeals both to interest and io sentiment, and which must soon be set tled, for all accounts indicate that the situ ation in Canada has become intolerable. .Couooreatloo with Sad Bndlog—for tha Back Clack. Lohivok Feb. 16.—At a clerk vat mak ing a deposit in tlie National Provincial hank tbit morning he was approached by a stranger who asked hint a few questions regarding the method of depositing. While the short convermtion was going on, another man approached and snatched the wallet from the clerk, in which were bonds and checks representing several thousand pounds, and tied. He lias not been captured. The Police officials are of the opinion that they are two expert American thieves. The clerk teems uoable to furnish tha polica with any farther clae than the de scription of the man who accoated him. The National provincial hanks employe has famished the police with the description of the one who ttoi morey. The Bonk of England notes are easily disposed of nod there It not much chance for tha copters of the thieves. A Fallore that Fxoltoe Indignation Boaron, Feb.

Id.—At the meetiog of the silver pool investigation committee ex-liepresentative S. V. White, of S. V. White A Co., New York, waa examined. He was asked concerning the testimony given by Representative Abner Taylor to the effect tffat he bought silver on margin through the firm July 17th, last, three days after the passage of the act. He said Tay lor’s testimony was accurate. The firm had very few accounts with the members of Congress on its books. He had never solicited business from any member of Congress, government em ployee. or resident of Washington in bis life. The firm never bought silver for any congressman other than Taylor; nor for any senator or ether government employee. White knew nothing of the alleged silver pool except what he had seen in the news papers. White testified in response to further questions. Hedeoberg (previous witness) must have misunderstood what his (White s) partner, Flopkins, bad said to him (Hedenberg) or he would not have testified that the witness’ firm had an agent in Washington for the reason that the firm never did have any agent in Washington, directly or indirect White further stated that he bad examined the accounts of every moral er of congress, senator, and government employee that had any dealings with the firm, before he came to Washington, and sail it showed not a dollar on account of any pet son con nected with the government except Repre sentative Taylor for the purchase or sale of silver. Adjourned. Whitechapel Buepsct Brought to Court. London, Feb. in.—The police say the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the man Sadler strongly tend to prove him the murderer of “Carrotty Nell” of White chapel. The Stepney police station, where he is detained, was this morning sarrounded by a vast crowd, mostly women, who uttered wild threats of lynching and tearing the prisoner to pieces. When he was removed to the police court an immense force of police was em ployed to keep the mob from doing him bodily injury. When brought into the dock his face was dirty and scratched. He seems utterly careless as to what happens to him and is apparently entirely hardened He kept his hands In bis pockets and glanced dandy •round him as if he was a disinterested spectator of the proceedings. During the course of the prisoner ex amination a man testified to the fact that he had seen Saddler in company with the murdered girl Thursday night. As the witness was making his state ment the prisoner watched him sharply and suddenly exclaimed, addressing the man in the witness box “Be careful about what you are saying." Continuing, witness described in detail the visit of Sadler to a small coffee shop. Sadler, according to this witness, sat in the coffee shop with the murdered girl, and seemed to be quarrelling with her. Sadler, witness said, ciaime l to have been robbed. Finally Sadler and “Carroty Nell" left the coffee shop separately. Cleveland's Demoralized Soppoiters. Daii.as, Tex.. Feb. 16.—The corres pondent of the Times-IIt rsM at Austin in terviewed many members of the Legisla ture on the letter written recently by Ex President Cleveland on the silver question. The letter has demoralized bis supporters and with one sccord they agree that he has committed political suicide. Hill's friends are enthusiastic, acd declare that he must and will be (be nominee of the Democratic party in 1892. Of the members interviewed 16 are for Cleveland, 26 for Hill and 19 for some Westerner. With Cleveland out of the race Texss will be a unit for Hill. Land side Crashes Into a Passenger Car.

Braiaiou. 51 lev of Penobscot: Mr. Prti.u r.t a*»d senator*—The nation has again been c**it' upon to mourn over the death of one of itt heroes; one whoa, for more than a quarter of a century, they have loved to honor and have learned to love. It is bat fitting that we panse for a moment from the basinets in which we are engaged, to render homage to the dead hero, to pay tribute to hit memory and to show oar appreciation of the services which he rendered his coon try. It has ever been a custom, at all times and among all peoples, to render homage to dead soldiers; and our own oountry and oar own people have not been exceptions to this rule of other countries and other peoples. For, in almost every village in this broad land, monuments are standing today as witness of oar apprecation and our love for the memories of those men whose names are inscribed upon the rolls of honor beneath, and who sacrificed their lives for the preservation of their country and for the maintenance of its institutions. These things are as they should he; for, when a man is willing to sacrifice every thing that is dear to him. home, friends, ambition, aye, and life itself if necessary, in the interest of his country and for future generations, he has created in his favor a debt that all the honors that may be heaped upon his memory fail to cancel. A whole nation is today bowed with grief, recognising the fact that the last of that galaxy of heroes whose true loyalty ami consummate statesmanship brought the Re bellion to a successful close, is dead. Every Legislature in the land h%s paid, or will in some form pay jnst tribute to his memory. Therefore, I say, Mr, President, it is but fitting that the people of Maine, through their representatives here, show that they are not unmindful of the services which General Sherman rendered his coun try while living, and pay that respect and homage to his memory which true loyalty and patriotism deserve. It is not my purpose to review the life of the great general. It has become part of tLc history of the country. Although educated a soldier, he bad, prior to the war, abandoned military life; but we have every reason to believe that if he bad not re-entered the army hia superior qualities would have won him distinction in whatever pursuit he had followed. Recognizing the fact that his country had a claim upon him, he was one of tha first to offer her his services. His far-se&ing miad discerned clearly the magnitude of the struggle that was before the nation, and he knew that it was the be ginning of a conflict that 75,000 men could not quell. In addition to his military training he brought with him into the army a fertile mind and a broad intellect, capable of seizing opportunities and of planning and carrying out successful campaigns. His successes arc familiar to you all—at Shiloh, at Vicksburg, at Chattanooga— where his services were recognized by Congress—at Memphis and Atlanta his achievements are familiar to yon all. and are matters of history. When Geo. Grant was called to take charge of the armies of the U.don, he was placed in that position which enabled him to carry out those great campaigns which have made hii name fa mous wherever the science of war is known. After he came out of the army, unlike many others, he preferred private life He preferred not to receive these merited civil honors which the Republic would so willingly have conferred upon him. He was content to remain a leader of the American army and of these soldiers of whom he bad i led many to victory. Unlike many of bis I comrades, he lived to enjoy the blessings resulting from the victories which hi helped to win. He lived to reap the fruits of bis well-earned con quests. He has been recogr ized by the country, for the last quarter of a century, as a leader in many well-fought battles for the very existence of the nation; and during all these years he has endeared him self to the people by his superior qualities, by his manliness, and has been loved by the soldiers whom he led. No greater honor can be paid to his memory than to present his life as an ex ample to the young men of the country. He needs no monument to perpetuate his m.-mory, tor it is enshrined in the hear:s of a loyal and grateful people. And now, sir, I wi»h to express the sentiment of this Senate and of the people of Maine, by 1 presenting to the Senate a set of resolu tions, and moving that the rules be sus pended and that they take their several readii gs at this time. The resolutions are Resolved, That that the Legisture of Maine learns with deep regret of the death of Gen. William T. Sherman, a great gen eral, a true patriot and a citizen whom the nation has loved to hgpor and learned to love. Resolved, That the teederest sympathies of the people of Matfte are present with bic family in its time of grief and that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted by the secretary of state to the family of the deceased. Resolved, That both branchei of the Legislature, the House concurring, do now adjourn as a further mark of reaped to the deceased. Mr. Walton of Somerset—Mr. Presi dent Within a few moments I have been notified that I should be expected to second the resolutions just presented to this hon orable body. It is not, and will not be necessary, Mr. Prssidenc, for me to suggest that I am en tirely unprepared for to important a matter. The remarks made by the senator from Penobscot bare been able and eloquent, and it only remains for me to aecond tb resolutions presented by him. I have to suggest, however, in addition to whit the senator lias said, that during the dark hours of the Rebellion, while the issue of the great war which was to settle the question as to whether this government of the people, for the people and by the people should stand as a government now and forever was still undstermiaed, Gen. Sher man in connection with Gen. Grant, planned a great and decisive campaign. While Geo. Grant held the army of Lee upon the Potomac, Geo. Sherman, the man who, a few days ago, yielded to the pale reaper Death, cut loose from the base of his supplies, from the Government that sup ported him. from the friends the! •nrr -un «d him; and commenced that famous march to the Sea, aa event which has never been paralelled in the history of modern war. For days the great heart of the mighty, loyal people of this country almost stood still, and they listened for every rumor which came up upon the Southern breeze, as to what might be (he fate of Geaeral Sherman, and that valiant army a Oder his command. The issue was sot doubtful. We all know that through the efforts of each men as Geo. Sherman and Gen. Great sod eth ers I have not time to name, the mightiest rebellion of history was crushed to the earth never to rise again. Tor several days pis; the great Gen. Sherman has been struggling with another great enemy. Death, and has succumbed. Hie family sow mourn him as a dead hero. The na tion mourns bimas a dead hero. The people keep hie memory in tender recollection at a deee hero. Therefore I secondAihe reso lutions offered by the senator from Penofr eco; and their reference and disposition. The rt solutions were unanimously adopted, and the Senate Adjourned. [Continued on 4th page.] Building rails cm a BsvstMll Mrast. Hintmu.

NAJJONS CAPITAL Quj Denies Tbosi Gbirges “Seriitim ud in Tote.” In, Ubr tli hat of Nttbil stribb Guild, ■a ■•ptm to ralaakood, laoaaado. laataoatloa and Canatnt IaipUoaUoa. [Special to tha Kihum Jocual.] I Washi»utox, Feb. 16.—Again the National Capital it in mourning. A some what remarkable incident is now witeeaaed here, tu: fire department* draped in mouraiog at the tame time. The navy for George Bancroft, secretary under rreai dent Tierce, the attorney-general's office for Charles Devena, attorney-general under President Hayes, and the Treasury depart ment for Secretary Windom; and now the drapery of the Navy department it contin ued for Admiral Porter and the Interior department is likewise draped for Alexan der H. H. Stewart of Virginia, who was secretary under PUmore. The war department will also be draped for Gen. 8hsrman. Such a scene will never have been witnessed save where a President or ex-President has died, for then all the departments are draped. Rear-Admiral Kimberley will be Ad miral Porter’s successor at commander of our naval forces, although the rank of ad miral dies with Porter. And with the death of Gen. Serman the rank of general also has disappeared. Thus oar heroes are fas: going into the beyond, but leaving behind them an undying history. The political kettle is all upset of late owing to so many curious admixtures. The Republicans have been set back in some of their cherished plans by the desertion of a dozen or so of silver men; the Democrats, who, with these few silver Republicans expected to rush the silver bill through both houses and thus rid themselves of the onus of the measure before the coming campaign have had their set back by the uonaction of the House committee and the stiffening up of the opposition through the multitudes of protests coming in. And now comes ex-PresMent Cleveland's bombshell against free coinage, completely upsetting all their maturing plans for the future. Add to this the entirely new phase which the reciprocity treaties follow ing each other (it would appear) in rapid succession have upon the tariff ques tion. and it may bo said that the two great parties are somewh.it at sea. And both are watching with interest that peculiar third party which has arisen among the frmers like a mushroom. The shaping of events will be watched from now with intense interest by all who are politically inclined The shipping bill still hangs fire, but there seems to be little doubt that, in view of the developing reciprocity treaties, it will get through both Houses. It has good friends and powerful influences here at work for it, and they are not confine! alto gether to party lines. Maine will have cause to be supremely happy if it should pass. As I mentioned would be the case, in my last letter, Spain is agitated about her Cuban sugar and other interests, and is already in*the way of negotiating treaty relations. I am quite credibly informed that, ere the present year passes, nearly every South American State, and Cuba into the bargain, will be in reciprocity relation to the United States, leaving only Canada out in the cold. And she may. through her coming elec ions, decide on joining the procession. All honor to the efforts of our Secretary of State E. J. B. The Senate this afternoon considered the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill The following amendments, reported from the committee on appropriations, were agreed to Making the mission to Mexico first class with a salary of $17,500; striking out the item of $10,000 for a minister to the Central American states, and inserting two items of $10 000 each for a minister to Guatemala and Honduras; and for a minister to Nicaragua, Cosla Rica and Sal vador. The Senate held an executive session and when the doors were re-opened at 4 30, Quay Mafia au Address la Aaawer to Charges made against him. He said Never, prob ably, since Alexander Hamilt-n was hunted to death, has any one in public life been pursued so persistently and malignantly. The fi'td of this malign effort lias been the entire Union. The assaults of character is so monstroua as largely to carry with them their own refutation. Were it otherwise. I could not remain, nor woul 1 my constituents permit me to remain a member of this Sen ate. Partly through Indifference to slander, a weapon which never had a place in my political ar«enal and partly by the advice of friends who urged me ro treat assassins of reputa tionas undeserving open controversy. I have permitted, without comment, passage of a flood of falsehood. It’s malodorous odors chance at this time to be quiescer.t, now, when no heated political conflict is raging, when neither hope nor fear ca.i be deemed the inspiration of roy utterance, I choose briefly to confront accusation with truth. I would not allude to this subject in this presence had not members of the other House made it a matter of debate there. Looking to the future, and knowing that the acts of this Congress will remain for other generations to read when most of u« composing it are forgotten, I choose, for the truth of history, and that which is dearer to men than all riches, to dispel the mist of falsehood with the clear liuht of fsct. The first assertion concerning my otli oial acta ia that at some time or continous ly between 1870 and 1882,1 alone, or acting with another, or ethers, used moneys of the state of Pennsylvania for sp*dilative or private purposes. I denounce this state ment as absolutely false. la 1877 the Democratic ptrty in Pennsylvania elect* Senate, and the committee amend men’s were agreed to in bulk, ex--?pt in regard to the Hawaiian telegraph cable, on which a separate vote was taken, which was agreed to.

Neither Speaker lleed nor Mc Kinley were present. The silver bill waa the principal measure under discussion.

Repn-aentathe Walker of Massachusetts made n gorou* speech on the other side of (lie question, but no conotueinn was reached on the question After a time the diacAftiou broadened some a hat and took in the policy to be pursued generally during the remsimler of Ooeg'ess. t'ennon. llecdcraon and others urging the no* cessiiy of a full attendance of Re publican members from uow until the Dl» of March.

Tun JorasAL cast wot as rzt.d mrowaa rai rsKwsvAnof 01 urmi or rxj**?t. i» «xw am re a nox*. to the Eastern states there are bow few large tracts of land open to settle meat or cotonizatkm. Sew England, the Atlantic States usd the middle eastern portion of the country are among what is termed the older sections of the L'nited State*. They have long been occupied, and while here and there are a few farms which bare been left by their owners who hare gone West or engaged in other business than that of farming, these isolated instance of desertion are rapidly disappearing a* they are being occupied by practical farmers or former city residents who have by successful business ventures made enough to possess what many of them have so long desired—a country home. Great sections of land, however, townships or a number of townships, that are open to occupancy are rarely found in the older settled portions of our country. One of the most conspicuous of these, and in fact almost the only one of any conse quence is the county of Aroostook, with portions of northern Penobscot, Piscat aquis and.Somerset counties in this State. Aroostook is by far the most flourishing agricultural section of the Great East today, and Us resources which are yet not a quarter developed, are already becoming of vast proportions. What this section needs for its further devel opment is additional transportation fac ilities. The entire central and northern sections of the county are practically isolated. With raUroad facilities extended to these sections entire new communities would spring into existence within a few years. Com munities not only of flue agricultural sections, but also of manufacturing, lumbering and general business enter prises. it is difficult to realize the vast development that would result during the next twenty-live years in that part of Maine, could the railroad facilities asked fur l>e obtained; and it not obtained now that public spirit is ripe for it and the growing business demands it, the result must be that Maine will ho put back more than two decades in its agricultural and industrial development. Aroostook must be given an opportun ity to help Itself; it Is a wrong to the county in all its interests to longer keep it from the fulfllmcnt of its grant,! opportunities. Business is ready to start there; capital is ready to locate there; men are ready to go there, when the opportnnites of business and means of transportation are aEsured which will be assured the moment a direct line of railroad is guaranteed. The “I.lttle Empire of the East” must be no longer only a place in the woods. The busy towns and villages of which this empire is to Ire composed, extending from one limit of Aroostook to the other, have a right to claim their own and claim it now. Though the leading facts and figures of the foreign trade of the country for the month of December and ttie calendar year 1890 have been published, some of the details contained in the treasury bulletin, just issued, covering the periods named are worth noting. It is a gratifying fact that the value of the goods coming in free of duty during the calendar year 1890 was $288,513,870, as against $201,104,184 in 1889. The value of the dutiable Imports increased from $509,337,481 to $534375,331. There were notable i gains in the value of certain lines of ex* I ports. Thus, the exports of refined su i gar rose from $997,107 in 1889 to $4,022, 782 in 1890. The manufactures of iron and steel exported were $11,371,492 against $10,448,219. Carriages, horse ears and cars for steam railroads made in the United States seem to find Increased favor abroad, the total value of those exported being $5,270,805 against $59,02,212. South American countries and the West Indies are steady buyers of our cars and carriages. A Farmers’ Institute will be held at Waldoboro, Friday, Feb. 20th. The pro gramme will he as follows: 10 A. M.— Address of Welcome by Hon. S. S. Marble; Poultry on the Farm, by G. M. Twitchell. 1 .'10 P. M.—Dairying a Good Business, by Hon. R. W. Ellis, Erabden; Feed and Care of Stock, by the Secre tary of the Board. Evening.—Questions and Discussion; Lecture by A. W. Chcever, of the New England Farmer. Subject, Advantages of New England Farm Life. Outer subjects will be pre sented at the pleasure of the meeting. Speaking of that old doctrine of the rights of the states which the Albany Journal calls the “ever disturbing pub lic nuisance of American politics,” that paper asks: Will the Democratic party ever reach the point where its members will comprehend our system of govern ment. and, comprehending, admit that the constitution is the supreme law of the land, and that the federal govern ment is the one to which we owe the highest allegiance? The Newfoundland Legislature has taken a most unusual and serious step in its resolutions attacking the home Gov ernment for refusing to accede to the reciprocity convention negotiated with this country. What with Newfoundland denied reciprocity and anada yearning for it,the opinion of our Northern neigh bor* is ripening fast toward# something which looks very much like the same spirit exhibited by our South American friends. Shrewd politicians are not betting to any great extent that the South will run any risks of Democratic defeat by nom- j in;iti|)g a free coinage man for President; next year. No candidate of that stamp would have the ghost of a show of car rying a single Eastern or Middle State. A good many Democrats are begin ning to find out that they are not so anxious for the free coinage fraud as they used to think they were. MAIITB GOSSIP.

Large pieces of coal are found after every storm at Small Point, near Hath, and this encourages the men who are digging there for it. The Life Saving crew has gathered many tons of this coal. Capt. Haley said one morning, he found a piece as Urge as a cheese box. It was so heavy that he could not carry it home.

Bangor has won the reputation of hav ing the best winter streets of any Maine city. The superfluous snow has been hauled off and dumped into the river and just enough left to make perfect sleighing. Mr. M. Moriarity. chief of the Lewiston fire department, tells a cool storv. It goes as follows “It was at the big Farmington fire. The Lewiston steamer of which I wss engineer at that time, had just got well t work, when a man sauntered along through the smoke, and grabbing me by the arm exclaimed, 4Say Mr. how much did the thing cost?’ ‘This is no time to be talking about buying i fire department. Ain’t you got any property in danger?* I replied. ‘Yes, one of my houses is all burned down and the other is just catching fire over ther. now,’ he cooly answered, and then turned on bis heel and walked off in another direction, probably looking for more curi oiities.” It is said that in one of the cases which recently engaged the attention of a court in this State for a few days or more, a witness went upon the stand and testified that a dog had killed and partially devoured a lamb in one night. It appeared that this dog must have weighed considerably mor« than the lamb, and yet by the testimony the latter was considerably more than half devoured by the former.
