London Graphic Still Suggests Arbitration. London.

Senator Proctor Oelighted at the Spirit Shown in Southern States. ('harlotte. N. Man ti l:*..—Senator [’rortor passed through Charlotte. this morning. He said that the most gratify ing thirty he had mot with on his trip was tin* splendid eonduet ami spirit of the Southern people. He felt that it was worth the total oost of all preparation for war tw» y* r. Spain can expect no nia -rial aid. Thn the extraordinary character of Cap tain Petal's action in making a public leclaration in advance of the official •eport of the court. The appearance of tit is interview simultaneously with the publication of the speech made by Senor Moret in Madrid and the inter view given out by Minister Polo in Washington, last night, is believed in mine quarters here to signify a dellber ite effort on the part of the Spanish imhoritie* to influence public opinion n favor of the accident theory of the -xplosion in advance of the publication if the report of the American court of inquiry. At the same time Senor Polo is protest ing that Spain does not want war and Senor Mon t is declaring1 that Spain will never submit to the loss of an ineh of territory, Captain Peral gives out an in tervif w tending to show that the official examination of the wreck of the Maine by the Spanish authorities has demon strated that she was destroyed from some interior cause under the control or Cap tain Sigshee and not by an external agency f«*r which the Spanish govern ment could be held responsible directly or indirectly. There is no doubt that the report of the American court will he directly contrary to that which Captain Peral has fore shadowed for tin- Spanish court. This will introduce a serious element of dan ger into the situation. No weight what ever will be attached to the Spanish re port by this government, and when Pres ident McKinley bases his demand upon Spain upon the report of the American court the Spanish government in all prob ability will reply that tin* report of their court shows an entirely different state of affairs from that reported hv the Ameri can court. No one here believes the Spanish court lias made anything like as thorough an investigation as that made by the Ameri can court. This belief will tend to still further discredit the report of the Span ish court in this country. The two ad verse reports will bring the two countries face t«• face with each other upon a very ugly quest ion. involving national honor on both sides, and will have to be handled very delicately if a clash is to be avoided. The exact course the President will pur sue in submitting his demands upon Spain when the report of the court of in quiry has been received will, of course, depend upon new conditions arising from day to day. The most that can be said now is that the blowing up of the Maine and the general Cuban question are to be treated as kindred subjects. President McKinley has kept his head up to the present time, and in spile of all clamor he will handle the matter in a cool, de liberate way. He believes that it is his duty to treat the Maine disaster not as :t reason for making war, if it can be avoid ed with honor, but as a reason for bring ing about peace in Cuba. He does not at present contemplate j forcible intervention in i uban affairs and will not unless the attitude of Spain makes such action necessary. He is fully determined that the independence of Cuba (Continued on page 8.) Cured cough left after lung fever, with two bottles. Mrs. Uizzie Burns. Bar clay, Sangamon Co..

REPUBLICANS CAN AIL) THRU PARTY BY BEING AT THE POLL. EARLY IN THE DAY Today's Election. Today the voters of Augusta will he called upon to decide by their ballots who shall administer the affairs of opr city for the next twelve months. We believe that they will Rive the Republi can ticket the rousing endorsement it merits. It is important, however, that in working for this end, the Republi cans of this city should take nothing for granted. They should be alert an l active. All should interest themselves in the work of getting out the largest possible party vote. The result of the registration shows that our city now has nearly 2."00 names on its voting lists. The indications are that there will be an exceptionally full vote polled today. A year ago tin* Republican pprty pi lied something over load voter Today they should lie satisfied with nothing short of 1400, and with an earnest pull all along the line we be I lieve that an even larger number of j votes can be secured by the parly. The new conditions growing out of the change in the number of wards through tilt- division of Ward 1. give j special significance and importance to j today’s flection. Can the Republicans I of Augusta make a c lean sweep?” if i they will turn '.at in force, today, we I i believe ttint tin t will lie successful m i doing so. As we have air. adv taken i occasion to say in these columns the j greatest danger to Republican success will i..y in the direction of the indiffer I dice of members of the party, who while true to its principles, are liable under ill" pressure of other duties, to assume that the Republican ticket will have ienty of votes without their'?, and so stay away from the polls. W I earnestly hope that there may not he a single ease ol this kind in Augushi today. Kvery loyal Republican owe; it to himself and his party, to go Pi tile polls, and give his party ticket the support of his ballot. Ii is a signifi cant fact that during the past year the affairs of our city have been so well administered, that even our Demo cratie opponents ran timl nothing to I'lltii'isi. t'nder Republican rub- the business affairs nl mu city have been conducted wisely ami well, ami in spite nf an extraordinarily haul winter, ami the Increased expenses it has neces sarily occasioned, the resources of the city show a very handsome margin over its liabilities. With tin' opening iiji of new indus tries, and with the prospect of in creased facilities for building up tie trade which should naturally center in our city, the coining year is ceitainly full of hope for the citizens of Augusta. That these enterprises, and all move ments looking to ihe advancement of our city, shall be encouraged and built up. it is important that theaffairsof our municipality should be conducted in a broad, progressive, and business-lik spirit. The Republican party presents, today, a ticket which represents this spirit in the conduct of municipal affairs. It is a ticket composed of gentlemen who merit, and should re ceive the cordial and loyal support of every true Republican, and of every citizen who has at heart the best in u*rests of the city. I The 1 lading candidate for the Repub lican nomination of Governor of New Hampshire is Col. Greenleaf, one of the h- st known White Mountain landlords. Certainly a man who can successfully run a huge hotel has the executive ability to stand at the head of a stale. Col. Greenleaf is in favor of good roads and the pri .^creation of the forests, tw i issues of •■•special importance to New Hampshire. TV- sident Cleveland had Congress "mi his hands."

The sudden death of Mr. Frederick Cony, in the prime of life, and with every apparent promise of fullness of years, came as a distinct shock to the people of Augusta, where he was born, and in whose affairs he has always taken an active interest. Mr. Cony was a man of loyal nature. He was true to his friends at all times and under all circumstances. He was social in his instincts, and generous in his dealings. His sympathies were broad, and he never lacked a kindly human interest in those about him. It is difficult to think that one who so lately moved among us in the ap parent Hush of health and vigor, has passed from the activities of a busy and useful life to join the great major ity “Not dead, hut gone before.'* It is difficult for words to express sor row. and particularly so. when a sad bereavement has come into a happ> home, without the slightest premoni tion or warning. The deepest sympathies of the whoh community will go out to the widow and relatives f the deceased, in their great sorrow. Coming to Maine.

Mr. Marshall is fortunate in hav ini; in this department, .his brother and James Fee, an ex-policeman of Marlboro, both of whom have become experts through long service in the cutting art. hat remains of the hide is cut. into in soles. heels, shanks or fillings, for noth ing Is wasted, and even the smallest piece of leather has its uses. Then these heels must he fittel. and the soles, and taps must he fitted up in pairs of equal thickness. I his sort of leather is bought by the pound, and the general rule is a pair of soles to a pound. f he insoles are tied up in bundles, as .in the sol* s and lie ted to the bottom ing room. The heels with the nails all in them teady for a blow to attach them to the shoe, are sent up by the box full. Again we will no to the top of the fac j lory, and follow the shoe down to the I packing room. j I lie cutting department is under the, j charge of \t. Russell of Marlboro. Mass., and «»1 the t**n hands now em plnyed the most are Augusta people, just '.earning. This department in cludes the south half of the top floor, the Wt t side being where the shoes •tt'’ mil, un i the east when* they cut the boots. 'I he sun k ol this department comes in bundles, and is bought by the foot. very ingenious machine through which the leather is tun before it is used, measures it. so that if the dealer in leather has made any mistakes it can be detected. The stock is also cry different I nun the coarse, heavy, tan cuiotvd sole leather, in being son and pliable, and of other colors, mostl\ black. Whatever wonder.- may be a»t comes far from resembling a com pleted upper, as on** would think of it. Some of the machines in this depart ment are truly wonderful and like those in the other departments, could not be described in a manner clear enough to make it advisable to attempt. This stitching department, or titling department, if you will, is presided over by F. I>. Thompson of Marlboro. Mass. On the door below, and a part of the floor below that is tin* bottoming room, which is divided into two departments. Tin* coarse w«»rk. win-re the boots are made, which will tout?bed up later and tin* fine work, where* the shoes are made, all of which is under the aide manage ment of \V. Nash of Natick, Mass. The upper of the shot* goes to tin* last ing machines. Tin* lasts are kept in boxes, each st(\ 1 e by itself, in boxes that are piled up in tiers. The last is placed imbde the upper of the shoe, an insole is placed on the bottom of the last, and they are put in tin* lasting machines. These machines are strange contriv ances, with four pairs of iron hands on either side that clutch the uppers and sttvtrh them over tin* lasts, while a pair of iron jaws at either end, draw the leather tight lengthways. N»» shoemaker stH-tehing Ids bather by hand, could get it tighter over the last than these ma bines do, especially .is the workmen gives the uppers a preliminary stretch ing by hand, before tin* iron jaws and hands get hold of them. After being thus stretched around the lasts, and while stIU hi the grip of the machine, the workmen make fast the edges of the uppers to the insoles, by tacking them securely with a quantity of little tacks, that are driven with amaz ing swiftness from a sort of a wholesale talking contrivance, that does its work with admirable dispatch. Now t’«*r the first time tin* form of the shoe appears, and it goes on from one room to another on racks, rite men at work in this de partment are mostly Augusta men, who are learning. Besides the lasting, there are 32 other different steps inrough which a shoe has to pass t,, get it ready for the finisher. Before the sole is ready to be put on it must be “channeled," that is. a fringe of leather about half an inch deep is lifted up around the edge, which is afterwards glued and pressed back after the stitch ing has been done, so that there is no ►JT*he Easy Food 'r\M, Easy to Buy, \V\ Easy to Cook, niall of this city, who keeps the machin ery. the engine room and the repair shop in tin* neatest possible manner. '1 he Sturtevani heater referred to is a larg.- cylinder, in which there are many feet of pipe, through which the exhaust st»*ain from the engine passes, or more it necessary. A blow* r near by draws air through the cylinder, where it is heated and is blown through a large pipe that ads to every floor. The system has proved most satisfactory during tic winter. In the summer the same blow r and pipes t all be utilized to cool the atmo sphere* of the factory. The workmen in the factory work hi lean eaeb working day. working from I to 13 and from I to 5.30.

The people nf Augusta were shocked beyond expression, Sunday morning, to hear that Crederh k Cony, one of Au gusta's last known citizens, hod died suddenly at his home, at about 7 o'clock. -Many could scarcely credit the sail news; but investigation only served to confirm it. Mr. Cony retired in his usual good health, Saturday evening, after enter taining it small party of friends. At x little before 7 o’clock, Sunday morning, tie arose and. getting a paper, returned to bed again, where he read for a few moments. Suddenly he placed his hand over his heart, saying to his wife, "I have a terrible pain here.” Mrs. Cony rose as quickly as possible, but only to find that he had passed away. The deceased was born in this city, on June 19, 18">e, and had always resid ed here. He was the son of the late Governor Samuel Cony and Lucy W. TUB BATE FREDERICK CONY. Brooks. His education was received in the schools of Augusta, and at Botvdoin college, from which he graduated in the class of '80. He was a member of the I>. K. E. fraternity. After leaving college, he entered the grain business with his brother, D. A. Cony, and when in '93, his brother died, he succeeded to the business, which he had since carried on. He was twice married, his first wife lieing Miss Brace Ballard, daughter of the late George S. Ballard, who died in 18SC. lie was again married, on November -9, 1883. to Miss Eaura Bewis of ltan dolph, who survives liim. They had no children. He was a member of Bethlehem Bodge, F. and A. M.. and a member of the Abnaki Cltili. He was also a trus tee in the Cony Female academy. For many years Mr. Cony was very prominent in city affairs, serving in both branches of the city govern ment. At the late Republican city caucus, he was given a large vote for the nomination for mayor. The funeral will be held, Wednesday morning, at 11 o’clock, at the late res idence rtf the deceased on Stone street. Owing to the impassable condition of the roads in the cemetery, the burial will be private. Report of Commissioners on the Joel Rich ardson Estate.
