Starts to Ship Box of Partridges Out of the State. *r.d Pays lor His Forgetfulness at Rate ol $5 per Bird. Bangor, Me., Oct. 25.—(Special).— Hon. Eugene Hale of Ellsworth. United States senator from Maine, paid $40. this week, for violating the Maine game laws. It happened in this way: Wardens Nichols and Neal, who are stationed here to inspect the game shipped to and through Bangor, in looking over-the express matter on the train from Ellsworth, the other night, found a box containing eight par tridges. They examined the box more closely and found a card bearing this address: "To Mrs. Zach Chandler, Washington. D. C., from Eugene Hale, Ellsworth, Me.” The box of game was seized and a warrant was sworn out against Sena tor Hale, charging him with violating the game laws relating to the illegal transportation of game. A civil suit was brought against him. It was found that the senator was not at home, but in Boston, so the warrant was sent there. Mr. Hale promptly authorized a Ban gor lawyer to settle the case for him, and, yesterday, he sent his check for $40, or in other words, he paid $5 per bird. He wrote the game wardens that he did not blame them for doing their duty, but that he was ignorant of the law concerning such cases. The joke is on the senator. BOWDOIN COLLEGE NOTES. The Speakers for the ’68 Prize—Changes in the Time and Conditions of the Contest. Brunswick, Me., Oct. 25.—(Special).— At the opening of the Psychology reci tation of the Bowdoin seniors, this morning. President Hyde made a few remarks of general interest to the col lege, but more particularly relating to the senior class. Formerly the ’6S prize speaking by the senior class has taken place at the end of the winter term, the names of the fortunate students chosen to comnete being given out the first part of the same term. President Hyde announced that the speaking would take place, hereafter, in the mid dle of the winter term, the names of the competitors being given out the first of the fall term. In addition to this change, the com mencement and provisional list, instead of being announced at the close of the winter term, as before, will be posted the first of that term, thus giving the men a longer time for consideration of their subject and preparation of the necessary material. Another thing that has been custom ary in regard to the speaking for the ’68 I prize and the commencement prize has been changed by the faculty. That is allowing men who were on one list ot speakers to use the same article at an other time. Formerly '68 prize speak ers who made the commencement stage could use the same article twice, but now a change has been made and dif ferent subjects will have to be taken for the different times. In closing. President Hyde gave the list of ’68 prize speakers for this year, as follows: Harold Fessenden Dana, Portland: Frank Leslie Dutton, North Anson: Drew Bert Hall, Brunswick; Fred Raymond Marsh, Eustis, Fla.: Arthur Huntington Nason, Augusta: Byron Strickland Philoon, Auburn.

Brunswick, Me., Oct. 25.—(Special).—All of Bowdoin College and in fact the town is wrapped up in the* coming Bates-Bow doin football game at Lewiston, Satur day. Bowdoin is bending every muscle and nerve to the work of training, and, while saying nothing, keeps up a great thinking. That she means business is evidenced by the presence here of Dr. Mackie, the celebrated Harvard coach, who is giving his whole attention to the line; of Dr. Richards, the noted Yale man, who is coaching the backs, and Murphy of Lew iston. assisting at all points. Secret practice commenced, todav, and at least 30 men were out, tonight, for the hardest kind of worn.. It is estimated that at least 350 or more persons will at tend the game from here. Bates Still Hard at Work. Lewiston, Me., Oct. 25.—(Special).—The Bates eleven is hard at work in practice for the game with Bowdoin, next Satur day. Of course her supporters are all eonlident that Bates will win, but the fact remains that there is little monev to he found to buck the assertion. What is placed is at 10 to 7 on Bowdoin. Ifoag, the Harvard coach, is busily at work with the men, says nothing and evidently tninks his team is an rierm.. The game will be called at 3 P. M., and fully 3000 people are expected to wit ness it. Death ol Postmaster Eli Merriman ol South Litchfield, Monday.

Thundering Cheers for the Huge Warships and Their Gallant Crews. Philadelphia, Oct. 25.—Philadelphia doffed its hat to the naval heroes, to day. Nominally it was the active opening of the peace jubilee. Actual ly it was a thunderous greeting of praise, welcome and thanks to the men of our victorious navy. Sigsbee, Philip, Evans and Wainwright were among those thus honored. The Texas, the Gloucester, the Winslow, and the May flower were some of the warships which took part in the marine pageant. The government was represented by Secre tary of the Navy Long. Throngs of spectators lilled every bit of timber on cither shore of the Delaware river and jammed every available craft to the point of danger. The pageant was one of surpassing brilliancy and grandeur. The series of ceremonies commemo rating the triumph of American arms really began, Sunday, with services in the churches. Today’s naval review, however, was the real opening of the festival, which will continue until Thursday night. It consisted of a pro cession of vessels around the anchored warships, but that bare statement con veys no idea of the demonstration. The yacht with Secretary Long and the Washington party aboard, led the pa rade. the ships of the navy being an chored in single tile in mid-stream, the line extending from Christian to Han over streets, a distance of three miles. As early as daybreak the streets be came alive with humanity pressing toward the water front. Here and there- along the wharves stands had been constructed, but for the most part the throngs jammed themselves or, roofs, piers, coal sheds and whatever offered foothold. At the same time the 200 or more steam craft were gather ing at the rendezvous off League Island where the line of parade was formed. Alexander Van Renssaler's yacht the May, which did fine service in carrying supplies to Porto Rico and returning sick soldiers to their homes, lay at Pine street wharf awaiting the arrival of the Washington delegation. This party, which consisted of Sec retary Long, Miss Long, Lieut. W. H. Southerland and Private Secretary Fin ney, reached Broad street station from Washington, at 12.55 o’clock. They were joined there by Capt. Roblcy D. Evans and Congressman Hillborn ot California, and the peace jubilee com mittee. waiting to escort them to the May. Lieut Southerland, who com manded the gunboat Eagle during the war. and destroyed the big Spanish accompanied Secretary Long in the capacity of naval aide. It was 1.30 o'clock when the party reached the yacht. The little gun in the stern of the May bellowed a salute and the secretary’s colors broke from the maintop. The May then headed down stream to take her place at the head of the procession. During the run down the river luncheon was serv ed aboard the yacht to a party includ ing besides those already named, Capt. Kashiwabara of the Japanese cruiser Kasagi, Gov. Hastings, Mayor War wick, Congressman McAleer, Harmer, Bingham. Adams, Young, Wanger, Butler and Loudenslager; United States Senator Penrose, Major Gen eral Snowden and the jubilee commit tee. Toasts were drunk to the Presi dent of the United States, the Emperor of Japan, the captain of the Kasagi, Secretary Long, Capt. Evans. Gov. Hastings and Mayor Warwick, but there was no speech making. Arriving off League Island, the south ern extremity of the city, the May found the line of reviewing vessels in waiting. She promptly swung in front and at 3 o’clock, the parade began to move along the Jersey side of the anchored warships, which lay about 500 yards distant from each other, in this order: Columbia, May flower, New Orleans, Texas, Marblehead, Dolphin, Topeka, Gloucester and Wins low. The Kasagi lay at the northern end of the line off Cramp's shipyard, where she was built. As the procession moved, river and shore were one flaring mass of color. Secretary Long, with Lieut. Southerland and Capt. Evans on either side, stationed himself on the bridge of the May and presently the Columbia, the first of the warships, was passed. Her officers and men were drawn up on the forward and after decks with every hand raised in salute, and tnen her 6-pounders began to roar out the secretary's salute of IT guns. With the beginning of the salute came the bugle and drum salute from the ship, nnd before the echoes of the second shot hart Leen fired, a veritable pandemonium of •whistles, smaller guns and the roar of the crowds broke out and continued throughout the procession. The Texas, the Gloucester and the Winslow received the greatest share of enthusiasm. As the May glided past the great battleship, Commodore Philip and Capt. Sigsbee stood at attention with the other Officers and men of the ship, the marines presented arms and the ship's band struck up "Hail to the Chief." Secretary Long, who had held hi* hat in his hand since the start of the parade, now waved it several times in honor of Commander Wainwright, who stood on the bridge of the Gloucester, and of the torpedo boat Winslow, which brought up the end of the line. The Kasagi's offllers and men were lined up like the Americans and saluted the secretary, but as the ves sel's guns are at Armstrong’s, in Eng land, the salute was perforce a silent one. i A thousand yards beyond the Kasagi, I the line of reviewing vessels swung t round and proceeded down the river along the Pennsylvania shore. The trip down was merely a continuation of the (Continued on page L) I r A" THE CABINET Busily Engaged in Winding Up the Spanish War. All Confident that All Our Claims Will Finally Prevail, Philippines. Quam. Cuba and Porto Rico All to Be Ours. Washington, Oct. 25.—Secretary \l ger carried with him o the cabinet meeting, today, a mass of data relating to the evacuation of Cuba by the Span ish troops and to establishment of camp sites for the occupancy of the American troops. There was some talk at the cabinet meeting of the work of the Paris com mission and although it is realized that the situation is not satisfactory, confi dence was expressed in the ultimate success of the American contention. The question of the relation Porto Rico shall bear to the general govern ment of the United States is receiving the careful consideration of the Pres ident and the members of the cabinet. The annual report of Rrigadler Gen eral John M. Wilson, chief of engineers, has been made to the secretary of war. The chief asks that Congress authorize him to present special estimates for such works as are necessary to naviga tion. Estimates for next year’s work include Lubec channel, Maine, $50,000; Bar Harbor, Maine, $50,000; Union River, Maine. $30,000; Carver’s Harbor, Maine, $25,000. At the request of Lieut. Jeremiah G. Fennessy. regimental quartermaster, 9th Massachusetts Volunteers, a court of inquiry has been ordered to meet at Boston, tomorrow, to investigate alle gations made in the Boston public press regarding the conduct of that officer. onspructor HoDson arrived in Wash ington, today, and reported at the navy department to Capt. C’rowninshield, who is acting as secretary of the navy in the absence of Secretary Long, and Assistant Secretary Allen. He was im mediately authorized to proceed to Philadelphia, to take part in the jubi lee. The officer is in search of more material to use in wrecking the sunken Spanish warships near Santiago. The navy department is disposed to aid as fur as possible in floating the Colon in addition to the Maria Teresa, which is already under steam and about to start for the United States, but not to go to further expense. Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency, has ordered that the system of semi-annual examinations of na tional banks in effect in the country shal lextend over all cities without any exception as heretofore. In the cities of New York. Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore but one examination by na tional bank examiners has been had yearly and the custom has grown up of special exartiinations by the bank ex aminers made for the benefit of the bank and not for the government, for which the examiners were compensated by the banks. One of the first official acts of the new comptroller, yast January, was to put a stop to this practice on the ground that for an examiner to accept employment in the examination of the same bank for both the government and the bank had a tendency to inter fere with the rigid impartiality which should characterize his work as a gov ernment official. An order was issued, today, by the war department relieving from further duty in the volunteer army, James G. Blaine, as captain and assistant adju tant general. Having seen service without the limits of the United States, Capt. Blaine is granted a leave of ab sence for 60 days from this date, at the expiration of which he will be muster ed out of the service. EPISCOPAL TRIENNIAL COUNCIL Adjourns Having Accomplished a Vast Amount of Important Business. Washington, Oct. 25.—After a session ofthree weeks, the Episcopal triennial council of 1898 came to an' end, to night. Probably never before at one convention has the council transacted more business than at this meeting, or so much of vital importance to the church. The work accomplished' included a complete revision of the constitution with many important amendments al so adoption of a number of amend ments, most of them of a minor char acter to the canons. The new consti tution will have to be ratified by the next succeeding convention, three years hence, before it becomes opera tive. A matter which has received the ear nest attention of the council has been the question of church unity, upon which an amendment to the constitu tion was adopted. A readjustment has been made of the boundary lines of the missionary districts in the w'estern and northwestern part of the United States, a new diocese in Indiana has been created, six missionary bishops elected, one for the church in Brazil, and discussion having bearing on the extension of the church work in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The failure of the new proposed canon on marriage and divorce caused considerable surprise, but this has been left to a committee of 13 members to prepare a report to be made public nine months before the next conven tion. CUBAN ASSEMBLY Commences Deliberations at Santa Cruz del Sur. Gen. Garcia Will Undoubtedly Be Elect ed First Presiding Officer. Outline of Matteri that Are to Come Before the Assembly. Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 25.—The first session of the Cuban Assembly was held, yesterday, at Santa Cruz del Sur. A majority of the delegates are mili tary delegates, each of the six army corps being represented by eight—the 1st and 2nd Corps being stationed in the Orient district, the 3rd in Puerto Principe, the 4th in Santa Clara, the 5th in Matanzas and Havana, and the 6th in Pinar del Rio. The sensation of the Assembly was the appearance of Gen. Calixto Garcia as one of the delegates from the 5th Army Corps, a fact which practically renders him supreme at the Assembly's sessions. His election to preside over the proceedings is considered a fore gone conclusion, as it is conceded that he controls a majority of the dele gates. The Cespedes faction is de feated. Its leaders now deny that they had any desire to discredit Gen. Gar cia and the attempt to impeach him before the Assembly will probably not be made. The principal question for considera tion will be the question of disbanding the army. It is thought the Assembly will dispose disbanding until—in the words of one of the military delegates —"Some assurance is received from President McKinley that he intends to observe the resolution of the United States Congress regarding the absolute freedom of Cuba.” It being a military Assembly, the Annexation party has but a small rep resentation. One proposition to come up for discussion is that the army should remain an armed force for the purpose of policing and garrisoning the island from the beginning of next year, when the United States troops are ex pected to leave. tne Assembly will appoint a commit tee to wait upon President McKinley regarding the status of Cuba, consist ing probably of Garcia, Quesada and Parraga; and it is safe to assume that the Assembly will remain in session and the army, in any event, not be disbanded until the report of the com mission is received. Owing to the scarcity of food and water, however, the Assembly will probably move after a few sessions to Marianao. Another proposition to be brought before the delegates is the division of Cuba into four states, to be called Orient, now the province of Santiago de Cuba; Camaguey, now the province of Puerto Principe; Las, Villas, now the province of Santa Clara; and Occident, now the provinces of Matanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio. Between the pro posed states of Camaguey and Las Villas would be a space of land which would be a special fertile district or territory where the capital would be built, a new inland town for this speci fic purpose. A delegate will propose the trial by a courtmartial of all officers in the Cu ban army who have permitted their men to disband. In these ways and in others, the Assembly intends to show the world that it considers the Americans mere ly temporary visitors who will evacu ate the island shortly after the Span iards. The Santiago Board of Trade, repre senting the commerce of the province, sent a special committee to wait upon Gen. Wood, military governor of the department of Santiago, and to con gratulate him upon the work he has al ready done. Thecommitteealso informed him that the Board of Trade had subscribed $100,000 for harbor improvements and that the amount had been placed at his disposal to use as he might see fit. This action was entirely voluntary and it is considered to reflect the opinion of business men here as to American predominance. A Cuban museum is being establish ed in Santiago. It will contain relics of the war, mementos of the Spanish rule and specimens of the mineral pro ductions of the island. coi. nay ana ms men lert Manzanma, early this morning, on board the Uni ted States transport Roumanian, with the Bessie in tow. It Is expected that they will arrive, tomorrow night, at Santiago, where a lighter will load the rations^ waiting for the Bessie. Both vessels will then proceed to Guan tanamo, where the Roumanian will land Col. Ray’s men, after which she will proceed at once for Porto Rico. Last night, while two small Cuban boys were playing near the gas works, with a 6-inch conical shell, it exploded with a tremendous noise, portions be ing hurled into the camp of the 5th Im mune Regiment. Another portion struck the upper deck of the Reina de Los Angeles, as the vessel was pro ceeding down the harbor with Col. Hood's 2d Immune Regiment, but for tunately doing no damage. Col. Ser geant of the 5th Immune, hastily sent men to ascertain the cause of the ex plosion. They found one of the boys dead and the other badly wounded. TOD SLOAN’S RIDING.

London, Oct. 25.—At the first day’s racing of the New Market Houghton meeting, today the Lorillard-Beresford stable 3-year-old bay gelding Bayard II., ridden by Tod Sloan, won the Trial plate of 200 sovereigns The betting was 5 to I against Bayard II. Leopold de Rothschild’s Cate won the welter handicap of 200 sovereigns. Sir M Fitzgerald’s Dozi, ridden by Sloan, was unplaced. BRISSON RESIGNS. Deputies Reject Vote of Con fidence 286 to 254. His Downfall Caused by Dreyfus Case and Army Scandals. Pres. Faure Will Ask M. Ribot to Form Now Cabinet. Paris, Oct. 25.—The Rrisson minis try has resigned. There was considerable disorder about the approach of the Palais Bour bon when William DeRoulde and other deputies arrived accompanied by a crowd of supporters. Members of the League of Patriots who were crossfng the Place de La Concorde, shouted “Vive L’Armle,’ and the Re publican guards were obliged to clear a passage. A conflict with the police soon occurred. A band of Anti-Se mites attacked and injured a commis sioner of police with loaded sticks. The ringleader, M. Guerin, president of the Anti-Semitic League, wasarrest ed. M. Drumont, the Anti-Semitic leader,then appeared and then follow ed cries of “Down with the Jews,” and cheering for France. A detachment of cuirassiers charged and dispersed the mob. Several arrests wert made. The session of the Chamber of Dep uties had no sooner opened than M. De Rouble made a violent attack upon the minister of war. General Chanoin, whereupon the latter arose and ex plained the conditions under which he accepted the portfolio. In so doing he declared that he was of the Bame opinion as his predecessors, evidently referring to the question of reopening the Dreyfus case, a remark which was greeted with cheers and protests, the uproar lasting five minutes. When he was able to resume speak ing he asserted that he was the guar dian of the honor of the army and concluded with saying: "I place in your hands the trust I have received, and I tender my resignation in this tri bune.” The announcement was received with loud cheering. General Chanoin left the Chamber of Deputies and the premier. M. Brisson, ascended the tri bune. There he was greeted with shouts of “Resign,” while his support ers chered him lustily. M. Brisson said General Chanotn'a declaration was a complete surprise to him as the general ha# bean pres ent at the cabinet meeting which de cided to submit the documents in the Dreyfus case to the court of Cassa tion. The general, M. Brisson said, did not then raise any objection. The premier said the government was fully determined to uphold the civil power against the military and he asked for a suspension of the business of the Chamber was granted. During the suspension M. Brisson went to the Elysee palace to commu nicate to President Faure the resigna tion of General Chanoin. During the speaking in the Chamber, two of the deputies, M. Basley and M. Palumary, engaged in a personal en counter, which caused great excite ment among the members. Finally the deputies arose in a body and pro tested against the conduct of the fighters. After the Chamber of Deputies had resumed business, at 5 o'clock, M. Bris son announced that the “irregular re signation” of Gen. Chanoine ha£ been accepted and that his successor ad in terim, would be appointed, this even ing. The premier then proposed that the Chamber adjourn until next Thursday, and he concluded his remarks with re affirming the supremacy of civil power. After attempts upon the part of va rious deputies to discuss the alleged military plot, the insults to the army, etc., their remarks being with interrup tions and cheers, M. Ribot, in behalf of his friends, including M. Meline, ap proved M. Brisson’s statement and ad ded: "We have every confidence in the army and do not wish to see it attack ed. All Republicans are united on this subject.” M. DeMahy then proposed a resolu tion calling upon the government to “end the campaign of insult against (Continued on page 2.) In a Hurry?

CONDUCT OF WAR Different Views Seem to Be Held by Witnesses. Some Saw a Woeful Lack of Medical Supplies and Stores. Other* Found the Men, Camps and Hospitals All Well Equipped. 'Anniston. Ala., Oct. 25.—Dr. R. D. Boss, assistant surgeon in the 1st In fantry, was the first witness before the war investigating committee, today. He was with his regiment and with the 4(h Infantry in Cuba. He reached Santiago in July. He found the medi cal supplies short and was unable to secure any for a few days until he learned how to get them from the di vision hospital. He was able to secure hospital stores such as food delicacies by “hUBtllng” for them, getting them first from the Red Cross Society and then going to Santiago for them. He had no serious illness in the command. Dr. Conner asked if the government could not have gotten these supplies to Santiago as promptly as the Red Cross, and Dr. Boss replied that while he had no information he thought it could have been done so. He had left Santiago with the 4th Infantry and went to Montauk Point on the Seneca. When they left Cuba, he said the com mand was “all broken up,” and every man of the command was sick on the way North. The doctor himself was sick and in the detention hospital at Montauk Point and he testified to the careful conduct of that institution, saying the supplies were ample and the attention all that could be desired. Col. Fife of the 3d Tennessee, having made request to supplement his state ment of yesterday, said the sinks were very near the tents and that it was impossible to remove them further ow ing to proximity of other regiments. Nevertheless the sinks were carefully looked after and his regiment had been especially commended by the brigade commander for the condition of its camp. He characterized as false and malicious some charges made againsi his regiment by a Chattanooga musi cian named Hunt, who had been with his regiment for a time. Other witnesses examined were Lieut. Reed of the 4th Wisconsin, Lieut. West of the 3d Alabama, and Lieut. Hailey of the 3d Tennessee. Lieut. West, quartermaster of his regiment, said the supplies were ample and excellent, but Lieut. Reed com plained somewhat of the meats. Lieut. Haley said there had been a few com plaints that the rations were not suffi cient but he thought the complaint was caused by the return of men or. furlough. Other witnesses of the forenoon ses sion were Foundain Ragland and Ed ward Simmons, two colored men of the 3rd Alabama; H. C. Lemke, a quarter master sergeant of the 4th Wisconsin; Congressman Colson, colonel of the 4th Kentucky, and Lieut. Col. Cabell of the 2nd Arkansas. Col. Cabell said in reply to questions put by Dr. Conner that he had ob served a condition of affairs at the hos pital of the 2nd Division of the 3rd Army Corps in June which he consid ered horrible. He had himself seen one sick man lying in the rain without the protection of even a tent, and he had been informed by other officers that several others had been left in the same way. He thought the doctors were honest enough but they did not know how to give supplies. Mule drivers had been used for nurses and he had been relia bly Informed that many of them were in the habit of getting drunk and on this account neglecting their patients. He said Dr. Schoeler was the division surgeon at the time. Col. Cabell is a lieutenant in the reg ular army and his testimony made an evident impression upon the commis sion. Major Charles F. King, surgeon of the 4th Wisconsin Regiment, was one of the first witnesses of the afternoon. He said the medical supplies of his reg iment were sufficient and that there was a sufficient quantity of food, but said some of the men would not eat it, preferring to buy food for themselves. Gen. Wilson asked of the men had ever complained to him as surgeon of the regiment, and Mr. King replied that they had. •‘What did you say to them asKea the general. "I told them to go to the devil and eat what they had.” he replied. "I think that a very improper reply for you to have made.” said Gen. Wil son and he declined to continue the ex amination. Major Benson, who wras inspector general of the 1st Division, 3d Corps, at Chlckamauga, said it had been im possible to enforce sanitary regulations at Chlckamauga. because when men were arrested the courts would not punish them. Capt. Tremont. w'ho was adjutant general of the 2d Division, 3d Corp3, detailed the difficulties attending the government of the hospital of that di vision. He said that when attendants were eomplnined to concerning neglect It was not uncommon for them to swear at the complainants. Dr. Fre mont said Dr. Hubbard, who was at one time executive officer of the hos pital, was tyrannical and overbearing-. After the examination of several other witnesses the commission adjourned to meet at Huntsville, tomorrow, leaving here at 6 P. M. THE PHILIPPINES. Ptact Commissioners Give Their Attention.

The Gauiois affirms that the Span iards are delaying a solution of the Cuban question until after the elections in the United States, “expecting them to get better terms,” adding that it fears Spain does not perceive the ad vantages possible to her front the electoral situation in the United States.

There Is much activity in consequence at the dockyard, where the officials refuse to say anything respecting the precise des tination of the cruisers. The belief is that domestic troubles at Jamaica or the Anglo-French controversy are responsible for the hurried dispatch of the Talbot and Pallas. The flagship Renown was out ball practicing, today, and the crew went through active service drill. French Canadians Condemn England. Montreal, Oct. 25.—The French Cana dian papers are freely criticizing England over its course in Egypt.

THE SIGNAL CORPS And Its Great Services Dur ing the Late War. Even Though Ignored by Shatter Its Deeds Will Ever Live. Located Corvira and Did Inestimable Service In Cuban Campaign. Washington, Oct. 25.—Brig. Gen. A S. Greeley, chief signal officer, today, presented to Secretary Alger his re port of the operation of the Signal Corps during the recent war with Spain. In the first section of his report Gen. Greeley devotes particular attention to the organization of the Signal Corps for the war. Referring to the Santiago campaign, he says: ‘'Especial inter est attaches to this siege since as is stated elsewhere the chief signal officer of the army was responsible for the Inception of this campaign, which proved to be the turning point of the war.” Gen. Greeley then discusses the ar rangement and installation of electri cal and other appliances whereby the war department, to all intents and purposes, were brought near to the army and quick communication established between the commander and the gener al officers in the 5th Army Corps. He intimates that the corps officers in Cuba were handicapped because they were not allowed to take with them the Signal Corps telegraph train w'hich had been sent to Tampa for the San tiago expedition. Gen. Greeley discusses at length the physical difficulties of maintaining communication by wire in Cuba dur ing the Santiago campaign, but points out that ail critical periods of the cam paign Gen. Shafter was kept in direct communication by telephone with his subordinate commanders the lines be ing uninterruptedly maintained under an almost constant Are of the enemy. Special stress is laid upon the value of the Signal Corps facilities in directing the Are of the naval vessels. Gen. Greeley then says: “Concern ing this telegraphic and telephonic ser vice which did not fall within the plans of the major general commanding the oth Army Corps, and for which he madeno provision, the chief signal offi cer of the army feel it incumbent on him to point out its absolute military necessity and value and to indicate the extraordinary risks which any general commanding a detached army, especi ally one serving on foreign soil, as sumes when he leaves himself unpro vided with telegraphic and telephonic facilities.” Gen. Greeley is confident that dur ing the single month of July the line of communication maintained by his corps in Cuba was worth more to the nation than has been the cost of the Signal Corps of the army from its in ception to the present day. He refers to the ease with which the major gen eral commanding the army communi cated with Washington, giving impor tant orders. He then adds: “In ad dition it is not pleasant to surmise what might have been the fate of the fever stricken army in Santiago de Cuba had its fortune and movements been directed by mail instead of by electrical communication.” Gen. Greeley strongly commends the use of the war balloon and declares that its utility was thoroughly dem onstrated. Concerning the criticism made on the balloon operating at San tiago, he says: “The forcing of the Signal Corps balloon to the skirmish line, where its position is reported to have caused serious loss to the troops by disclosing their movements and at tracting the enemy’s fire, was the ac tion of Major General Shatter through his chief engineer, Col. George McC. Derby, in the face of the professional advice given by Lieut. Col. Maxfield, of the United States Volunteer Signal Corps, who was charged with the prac tical operation of the balloon and who besides sharing absolute danger to which Col. Derby was subjected, in ad dition had his horse shot under him in a previous reconnolssance of the ground. _ Gen. Greeley says that "the Signal Corps failed to receive from Major Gen. Shafter in his original report, even a notice that it participated in the Santiago campaign.” An interesting part of Gen. Greeley’s report is that which relates to the tel egraphic censorship. On this feature he says: There has been a misappre hension on the part of many that the Signal Corps exercised a press censor ship during the war, an opinion that is entirely unfounded, as the chief sig nal officer ignored all suggestions look ing to an interference with the free and untrammelled publication of press mat ter, even by the most sensational and unpatriotic journals. It may be added that The Associated Press and many of the leading journals in a most pot riotic spirit expressed freely and fre quently not only their willingness but also their desire to refrain from the publication of any information that or be detrimental to the success of the military operations. uen. ureeley refers in the highest terms of praise to the officers and agents of the Western Union Telegraph and Cable Co., the Mexican Co., the United States and Hayti Cable Co., the French Cable Co., the Direct Cable Co., and the West Indies Submarine Tele graph Co., for so generously meeting the requirements of the censorship which was deemed essential by the offi cers of this government. Gen. Greeley's report indicates that the credit for the location of Admiral Cervera’s fleet in Santiago harbor be longs to the Signal Corps, and says that "in the interest of history let alone justice, the Signal Sorps of the army, the truth should be told. The location of Cervera's squadron at Santiago was first made by Col. James Allen, and later verified independently by Lieut. Col. Jose Maxfield, both officers of the Signal Corps. Secretary Long, alive to the situation, in an official dispatch, says: "All mil itary and naval movements depend up on that point (the presence of Cervera in Santiago harbor). “On May 19. Admiral Cervera entered the harbor of Santiago with his squad ron, that very day Col. Allen tele graphed in cipher to the chief signal officer: 'Five Spanisit vessels arrived ..tML at Santiago tie Cuba. Huve notlfted admiral commanding (Sampson).* “The Spanish flagship arrived at San tiago de Cuba. The admiral (Cervera) hastily wired Madrid. On the following morning he added the following infor mation: ‘Pelayo and four cruisers in Santiago. No destroyer or torpedo boats arrived there.’ "This information communicated Im mediately to the President and by hia orders to the secretary of the navy, who being impressed by the assurances of the chief signal officer of the army as to the entire reliability of this report proved himself equal to the emergency and on that very day gave such prompt and effective orders as resulted in the blockade of Santiago and the ultimate destruction of Cervera’s fleet." The report says that Col. Allen al most daily furnished cipher advices of the most valuable sort from Santiago. He flrst replied that the Spanish squad ronn was short of coal and could not renew its supply at Santiago and also that the unarmored American cruisers off the Cuban coast ‘‘were mistaken by the Spanish for the main American fleet," proving, says Gen. Greeley, ‘‘the wisdom and efficacy of Admiral Samp son’s orders by cable that the fast un armored cruisers of the navy should perform scouting duty off Santiago." Tlie report then adds: “A cipher message of the 23d stated correctly that Admiral Schley was that day at Cleu fuegos and Cervera was at Santiago. Meanwhile the navy had been unable to verify the fact of Cervera’s presence at Santiago and as a result the correct ness of the information furnished by the Signal Corps was sharply question, ed. The chief signal officer, being in formed that the whole campaign was was asked to verify this information from other sources if possible. Prompt action was taken by the chief signal officer, who adopted such lines of ope rations that thereafter there was scarcely a day he was not in possession of information coming over one or more of the six cables leading out of San tiago. "It is an interesting anti-climax that when Cervera’s squadron was destroy ed. on July 3. Col. Allen, the same offi cer who originally reported the arrival of the fleet, on the very day it reached Santiago, likewise reported by tele graph to the chief signal officer, the fact that the entire fleet had been de stroyed. which information was con veyed to the President and the count-y four hours in advance of any othei official advice." Gen. Greeley gives an account of the Signal Corps in Porto Rico, adds some suggestions as to the telegraph lines :.i Cuba and Porto Rico and strongly ad vocates an increase in the Signal Corps.

When the Texas was again reached, the May was brought to a standstill and at the invitation of Commodore Philip and Capt. Sigsbee, Secretary Long and party went over In launches to the battleship. Here they were escorted below to the wardroom, where the commodore, captain and officers received the guests. After the exchange of greetings. Mayor Warwick proposed the health of Secre tary Long and called upon him for a re sponse, He did so. briefly thanking .the mayor for his words of welcome and Commodore Philip and Capt. Sigsbee for their courtesy to him as their guests. After referring to "the historic hospital ity of Philadelphia, again illustrated by this magnificent lubilee,” the secretary said: "If ever the navy wus worthy of the nution it represents, it Is worthy of it, to day. I appreciate the honor you have conferred on me in connecting my name with that of the commodore. I appreci ate the honor of standing on the historic deck of the Texas in the presence of the man whose glorious work at Santiago has written the name of the American flag higli on the records of the honor of nations. I respond as heartily as our country does to these, our heroes, and to you of Philadelphia for honoring them as you do." Mayor Warwick then spoke a few words in praise of the Texas and proposed a toast to Commodore Philip, paying tribute not only to his heroism, but to his hu manity in checking the cheers of his crew while the defeated Spaniards were per ishing. "Heroic and humane, such a race can never be overcome." Commodore Philip replied with a few words of thanks, and then Capt. Slgsbec was called upon. He spoke of his grati fication at the universal sympathy for the Maine, but asked to be excused from speaking of the ship. "Some time I may say how I feel about vthe Maine, but not at this time.” Here the mayor suggested a toast to "The men behind the guns,” and after three hearty cheers had been given. Sec retary Long remarked: "They respond with their guns." This ended the Texas reception and Sec retary Long with his party returned to the May, the battleship repeating the sa lute as they left. It was then 5.45 o'clock and the May was promptly steamer over to her dock to give the secretary time to catch the 6.15 train for Boston.

BRISSON RKSI6NS. (Continued from pace 1.) the army, but M. Brlsson refused to ac cept tt. M. Cavalgnac, the former minister ot war, then rushed to the tribune and demanded an Immediate discussion ot the resolution. He was greeted with hostile shouts. Including “Sabre," “for gery," "razor.” which caused a great uproar. The shouting of the word "ra zor," was probably on Illusion to the suicide of the late Lieut. Col. Henri, who Is said to have cut his throat In his prison cell at the fortress of Monte Valerlen. after confessing to having forged one of the Dreyfus documents, though It has since been claimed that the razor with which the deed was committed was not found in the cell of the deceased. M. Brlsson then accepted the ordei of the day. proposed by M. Rlbot, af firming the supremacy over the mili tary power, which was adopted by a vote of 259 ayes to 2 noes. An amendment proposed by M. Ber ger, censuring the government “for not causing the honor of the army to be respected” was lost by 274 to 261 votes. M. DeMahy then proposed a resolu tion calling upon the government to "end the campaign of Insult against the army." The premier refused to ac cept the motion, however, and a vote was taken on It amid such confusion that scrutiny was demanded. Later this showed that the government was defeated by a vote of 296 to 243. After the result of the scrutiny had been announced, M. Berteaux moved a vote of confidence in M. Brlsson, which was rejected by 286 votes to 254. When this vote was declared the ministers left the Chamber. After M. Brlsson accepted M. Ribot’s motion, earlier in the session, several of the deputies attempted to speak but their voiceB were drowned in the up roar which filled the Chamber. After the ministers had withdrawn the Chambers adopted, amid cries of “Down with the Jews." the order of the day, combining the motions of M. Ribot and M. DeMahy, by a vote of 460 to 28. A fresh tumult was aroused by the declaration of M. De Baudry D’Asson, deputy for the Arrondiasement of Les Sables D'Olonne, in the department of Vendee, that all the ministers except Gen. Chanolne ought to be impeached. The Chamber adjourned to Nov. 4. It was the general impression among the deputies that President Faure will invite M. Alexandre Ribot to form a cabinet. This evening, detachments of municipal guards, cuirassiers and po lice are massed at the various ap proaches to the palace of the Elysee, for fear of disturbances. M. Brisson went to the Elysee at 7 o’clock. President Faure has signed the appointment of M. Lockroy, min ister of marine, in the retiring cabinet as minister of war, ad interim. When accepting the resignation of the ministry, M. Faure begged M. Brisson and his colleagues to continue to act until the formation of the new cabinet. After the adjournment of the Cham ber there was great excitement, fol lowed by street demonstrations, princi pally maintained by the anti-Semites, led by M. Drumont, in the vicinity of the officers of the Libre Parole and other anti-Drevfus papers. At many points the boulevards soon became almost impassable and there were numerous collisions between the demonstrators and the police, who had been fasting since morning. Only with the utmost difficulty was a semblance of order preserved and in many cases it was necessary for the cuirassiers to clear the streets. Oct. 26.—1 A. M.— About midnight, a mob of members of the Patriotic League smashed the windows and glass staircase of a shop whose owner is said to be a Jew, at the corner of the Rue Auber and the ^i.ue Scribe. The vigilance committee of the Social ist party issued, tonight, a manifesto condemning the action of Gen. Chanoine and denouncing the '’make-believe Repub licans who have strangled debate in the Chamber and created a crisis.” The com mittee has decided to organize all the So cialists and revolutionary Republican forces in the country against "military and clerical reaction." About 10 o'clock, a band of youthful Royalists formed in front of the Military Club and after cheering for the army, marched, preceded by the tri-color, to ward the offices of the Soleil and the Gaulois, singing and shouting. On arriving at the Boulevard, this dem monstration, which had grown to several thousands, met-a rival Republican dem onstration. A violent collision took place and the Republicans captured the Royal ists’ flag, which increased the tumult. Gen. Chanotne Is the fifth minister of war who has declared himself absolutely convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and the third who has resigned on that account. His totally inexplicable and unexpected action was certainly the chief sensation in a day of sensational events. He dealt a veritable coup de jarnac to the cabinet and precipitated a new struggle between me military and civil authorities. Yesterday (Tuesday) was the first time Gen. Chanoine ever sat on the ministerial bench, and his colleagues, knowing that he was unaccustomed to the tricks of ora torical efTects such as M. Deroulede in dulged in, tried vainly to nrevent him as cending the tribune. He spoke briefly, with painful incoherence, and then liter ally bolted from the Chamber. The scenes that followed were almost Indescribable, When M. Brisson appeared in the tribune he was received with in sults and imprecations from all sides, but he calmly stood his ground. It is said that President Faure declined to receive Gen. Chanoine when the latter called at the Elysee after bolting from the Chamber. M. Faure sent out word that he could only receive Chanoines res ignation through M. Brisson. In a subsequent interview between M. Faure and M. Brisson, it was agreed that the portfolio of war could only be en trusted to a civilian in order to assert me subordination of the military author ities. Even now it is difficult to state clearly why tire ministry resigned, but there Is a very general belief that it was in order to avo.u, if possible, serious street dem onstrations fomented by MM. Deroulede and Drumont. Altogether some 250 ar rests have been made. Nothing now is heard about Fashoda, but it is regarded as extremely probable that the cabinet crisis will be utilized tr put M. Hanotaux back in the foreign office. M. Meline is also mentioned as t> possible new premier to succeed the re tiring Brisson, who had succeeded him. 1 SHIPPING NE\m Maiaa Part*.

They A»k for Instructions on Second Degree and Manslaughter. The evidence in the White murder trial was concluded at 9.40 A. M., Tues day. Mr. Whitehouse occupied from 9.50 to 11.40 with his argument for the defence. Mr. Heselton for the State, spoke from 11.50 to 12.40 and 2.30 to 3.15. Judge Strout occupied an hour in his charge to the jury. The jury retired at 4.15. At 9 o’clock they returned and asked for further instructions on second degree and manslaughter, which were given. The court also instructed as to the desira bility of an agreement. They retired again at 9.15. At 11.30, the jury returned and re quested additional instructions as to the definition of manslaughter, which were given. They then retired. At midnight, the judge instructed the officers to serve the jury with break fast in the morning, and court toook a recess until 9.30 A. M. Counsel for the prisoner in the White murder case, Tuesday morning, intro duced four convictions for violation of the liquor law, in 1S80, ’81 and ’84, against John Gardiner to impeach his credibility as a witness. Rose White, the prisoner, was re called by her counsel and testified that on the occasion of the discharge of the revolver, testified to by John Gardiner, he came home intoxicated, and after some dispute with him she determined to go home. She put on her coat and took the revolver on the stand to put in his trunk, thinking that he might do some harm to her with it, as.'he was ugly when dru'flk; that he was1 mad because she was going home and seiz ed her, and in lhe scuffle the revolver was discharged, it being a keif-cock ing, but the bullet did not gflflt^ar him; that it belonged to Gardlner,.hje having bought it of a soldier for5nd a half pint of whiskey. On cross examination^!^ ^tvas taken over the ground. relating \to-the way a revolver shotftji bev tpanaged to dis charge it, and illustj’lited, by request of the county attorney, the way to dis charge a self-cocking weapon, by sim ply pulling on the trigger until the dis charge, and the one in court by cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger. The testimony was concluded at 9.40, and at 9.50 Mr. Whiteliouse commenced his argument for the defence, conclud ing at 11.40. Mr. Heselton commenced his argu ment for the State at 11.50 and had not concluded when court adjourned at 12.40 for dinner. He resumed on the coming in of the court at 2.30 and con cluded at 3.13. Judge Strout then charged the jury, occupying one hour in the delivery. The following is an abstract: After a definition of murder in the first and second degrees, and manslaughter, he instructed the .iury that: The prisoner is presumed to he innocent until the con trary Is proved by evidence of such co *■000}' as to satisfy you beyond a reason able doubt of her guilt. Not beyond the possibility of doubt. A reasonable doubt is that state of the case which, after an entire comparison and consideration of all the evidence, leaves the minds of the jurors in that condition that they cannot say they feel an abiding conviction to a moral certainty of the truth of the charge. The burden of proof is on the prosecu tion. All the presumptions of law. inde pendent of evidence, are in favor of inno cence. If there is a reasonable doubt, the accused is entitled to the benefit of it. It Js not sufficient to establish t lie proba bility; though a strong one, arising from the doctrine of chance, that the tiling Charged is more likely to be true than the contrary; but the evidence must establish the truth of the charge beyond a reason able doubt and moral certainty. The State must satisfy the jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Everett White was unlawfully killed by the act of the accused. The evidence must exclude death by suicide or accident. If the re volver was fired by the deceased, whether Intending to kill himself or to frighten his wife, that would be an end of the prosecution. So you are to take into ac count all the evidence bearing upon what occurred upon that nignt of June 14. There is but one person living who krtows and can tell what occurred in that bedroom, and that is the respondent. The State does not claim to have any direct evidence that this defendant did the shooting, and by direct evidence is meant a witness or witnesses who saw the act committed. If you have that class of evi dence, if you believe the witnesses, it re quires no ettort to arrive at a conclusion, k -But most crimes have no witnesses. They are therefore proved by circum stantial evidence coming from a variety of witnesses,, which, combined, not only tend to establish the guilt of the party, but are so strongly pointed that way that no other conclusion than guilt can arise from them and are absolutely inconsis tent with the innocence of the party. If all the circumstances that you lind proved and established may be true, and yet the party be innocent, then the prosecution has failed. So that in weighing such testimony the jury are required to exercise care, reason and judgment of a much higher degree than is called for where direct evidence is introduced. And if after the exercise of this care and caution you find that the circum stances all point to a particular result, I l of’testlmnm”^’ B"tU' thed that kind ’Ll l"’ "1. "lay be even more satisfac lorj than direct evidence, because a sin gle person who swears directly may be 4w w,v:t8tUke,,> °r he may hat ni^ u?7e* ‘n that bodroun> at night. It is in evidence that on that bodv “in m' ,8‘01 Sh0t was fired by ™mo enterln* V i,nd Certaln Persons enterin* it found Rose White there, and also Everett White unconscious, sitting h!s° head f°°u' b?Ck lh° bed' and with his head inclined to a certain extent as -ert arm hi* right arm throw« back,'his 1™ being> as s°me say. at his side. the' shot °r hC Was stand‘nS when laSl.fired’ 1 believe there is no u IhTi. 1 thfnk the theory ot the State when ,a ln lhat ^ting position when the shot was fired. It is also in rlihtnC?sthat« the aecU8ed was upon the right side of Everett White, with her arm around his neck, attempting to staunch the blood flowing from his tem ple. She tells you that when she first saw the pistol she turned to run, and al most immediately she heard the shot and turned and went back and discovered he was injured, and then went up to him. threw his right arm back so as to get nearer to him and put her arm around his neck. She is a competent witness, hut of course has a very high interest here, and so far as her interest affects her credi bility or the truthfulness of her storv so far you will deduct from it. Records of her conviction of a violation of the pro hibitory law have been introduced. Those convictions have no tendency to prove the charge against her and they are not ad missible for any such purpose. They are admissible only as tending to affect her credibility. So far as you may think they show a moral turpitude or lack of moral charac ter wnieh in your judgment would affect her truthfulness, so far you will use them here to abate from the weight of testi mony she lias given. They are not prose cutions for what is denominated in the law crimes wicked in themselves, like murder, burglary or larceny, but they are offences against the prohibitory stat ute enacted in accordance witli our ideas of social government, and wisely enacted undoubtedly. J-JU me 10 give me testimony just such weight as you think it ought to have, us you do her interest in the case, and abate from her testimony on account of either of them accordingly. Now I believe the concensus of state ment is that Everett was drunk that night, and she tells you she had been try ing to get him to bed, and at last got him into the bedroom. What occurred in there before the other parties entered you have only her testimony to support. She says she was pulling upon his sleeve to get him to bed, and he in a maudlin condi tion was resisting. She says she noticed he had has left hand behind him, and all at once it was withdrawn and she saw the revolver in his hand, and then she ran and the pistol went off. The State claims that they were having, if not a quarrel, an unpleasantness, and that she was directing him to go to bed with profanity, and as the State claims, he might have been provoking, and she procured the revolver from the drawer, and, according to the theory of the State, while she had there Everett said “Pull, d—n you, pull,” and immediately there was a report, with the result that fol lowed. The theory of the State is that those words were used by Everett as applicable to the pistol then in the hand of the de fendant and that it was really a daring of her to discharge it. She says she did hear those words, though they may have been said, but that she was pulling him by the sleeve to get him to bed, and then occurred the shooting in the manner in which she stated. What was the fact? Those in the other room say they heard the language Ever ett used in a clear voice. But it is ar gued that Everett was drunk, and this, combined wTith an impediment in his speech, rendered it improbable that he could have spoken in a clear voice, as they say, and that this testimony is un reliable. It is for you to say what the fact was in regard to his condition, and whether the words were used or not. Is there any evidence in the case, ex cept the mere inference, that the pistol was in the hands of the accused, or that she had it when the challenge to pull wuis made, or is it simply supposition? Or might the language have been used in the same way if without having the pis tol or threatening, she was endeavoring to get him to bed and pulling upon him, as she says she was? In other words, is the expression as consistent with her in nocence as W-ith the crime? Or does it leave in your mind a state of doubt? You have the evidence of the physicians as to the wound, and you will consider if the deceased was in substantially the same position when shot us when found, whether or not a shot fired by a party standing three feet or more from him would have entered the skull where this did and taken the same course; whether it would have taken a more downward course. You can judge of that in your own mind by taking into account the po sition of the deceased and the height at which the accused stood. This is an im portant matter for you to consider and it may have a good deal of weight with you in arriving at a result. How could the shot have been fired ov mverott? It is said he was right-handed, and there is evidence that he could use one hand as well as the other. The bulk of the testimony is that he was right handed, perhaps you will be satisfied. This was a shot on the left side of the head, taking an upward course. You will determine whether it could have been done by him with either hand, and if the shot was fired by him, whether it was in tended to be fatal or to scare somebody. Whether in his drunken condition, as they all admit it to have been, the thing might nave been a blunder on his part. These are considerations for you, 1 express no opinion one way or the other. I only sug gest them as food for thought. It is claimed by the State that the pow der upon the face and the non-burning of the hair is evidence that the shot must have been fired at a distance at least of three feet, anu beyond the reach of Ev erett's arm, and therefore he could not have tired the shot. You have heard the testimony upon that matter and the opin ions of the men who are more or less ex perts, as to whether a shot within 25 inches would burn and deposit grains of powder as these were said to have been, or whether a few inches farther off it would not, and you are to judge. Those are opinions honestly given, but you are to pass upon them and determine for yourselves, in the light of the testimony, and your experience, judgment and com mon sense, whether a test of that kind is or is not conclusive. A good deal of testimony has been in troduced as to the relations of the parties toward each other, and that is important as tending to show whether there was a quarrel between the parties, or a morose disposition on the part of this defendant, and it may aid you In giving weight to t!ie other testimony in the ease ns affcct Ins the livelihood of the crlrfie'being eom mltted by her. You have heard from the witnesses and from the letters the terms in which they addressed each other, the pet. names, if you believe the testimony, when he was not in liquor. Whether you iind any evidence that they were unfriendly, whether or not there was affection between them? if you find they were affectionate toward each other, as is claimed, and that there was no trouble except when he was in drink, und then you find thut at those times the wife became impatient of him and threatened to procure a divorce, whether or not after such times she did not continue to live with him up’to this fatal night? There are more or less state ments that he would end his life if she did not live with him. Is it true that he made those statements? And if he di.l. does it or not indicate to you an affection that he had for her? Now she says that in the bed room that night she said to him that she should get a divorce if he kept on drinking, you will remember the testimony. And when she persisted in her statement, then occurred what she says, if that is the truth about it you will judge. Was there an affection one way and the other, and if there was, how far does that aid you in determining the condition of things on that l'atal night? And whether or not, if Everett was attached to her, as the defence claims, and when he was in that drunken condition, apprehensive that she might, leave him, if that was so,—whether or not such a result as is claimed by the defendant, by liis own act, might or might not have occurred? I am only calling your attention to these things that you may give the proper weight to all of these circumstances and then determine what and how much they prove, and whether they show beyond a reasonable doubt, to your satisfaction, the guilt of this defendant, or whether they may Jill be explained consistently with her innocence? Now it is said, and truthfully, that if a person charged with crime under cir cumstances of suspicion, undertakes to explain it contrary to the fact by giving false versions of how the thing occurred, it has a tendency to inculpate the party. An innocent party will probably tell the truth about it. and the truth will tend to vindicate the innocence of the person. A guilty person might unuertake to manu facture a story which would look inno cent, and yet it might prove to be incon sistent with the facts. An it is claimed, by the State that on the night after the shooting, or the succeeding morning, the story was told that the defendant was not in the room at the time of the shoot ing. The mother says it was at her sug gestion that this was told, as the result Of a suggestion from White that he didn't want to be mixed up in it. White, I think, contradicts this and, I believe, puts the suggestion into the mouth of the accused. i\ow in passing upon that, you will take into account all the surrounding circum stances, her condition. Very many wit nesses say she was excited and almost hysterical. Take into consideration her conduct from the time of the injury, what she did during the night, calling for help and attending upon him during the night; whether all those acts were those of a wife, and an innocent wife, or whether they were put on so as to seem to be in nocent of a crime she had committed. All that is a matter for you. There is considerable testimony as to what was said by various persons at vari ous times. Uoon this I give you this in struction; That that class of testimony ought to be received with great caution. The evidence, consisting as it does of mere repetitions of oral statements, is subject to much imperfection and mis take. The party himself either may be misinformed or not have clearly ex pressed his own meaning, or the witness have misunderstood him. It frequently happens also that a witness, by uninten tionally altering a few expressions really used, gives an effect to the statement widely at variance with what the party actually did say. But whore the state ment is deliberately made and precisely identified, the evidence it affords is often of the most satisfactory nature. Now this case has been very ably ar gued to you upon botli sides. So far as the arguments are supported by the tes timony, they tire worthy of your eonsiu eration and may afford you aid in arriv ing at a result. Guilt cannot he established upon prob abilities or the doctrine of chance, but must be proved, but it may be proved by circumstantial evidence, as 1 have stated. If all the circumstances which you shall find to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt point conclusively to guilt, and necessary exclude innocence, her guilt is thereby established. But if the circum stances proved are consistent with inno cence, then the State has failed to estab lish the charge by the required amount of evidence. If you have a reasonable doubt that the the death was caused by the shot, if he died from any other cause, or that the shoi was unintentionally tired by Rose. Without unlawful or original intent, you should acquit. If you are satisfied by the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that she with unlawful intent ilred the pistol, and that Everett's death was the result, then your verdict should be guilty, and if guilty you will also determine whether murder in the first or second degree or of manslaughter.

THINGS YOU CAN DO Jut u Well n a Learned PHytician. Often it is needless to eonsult a doctor. At such times you can treat yourself just as well as the most learned physi cian. When a man or woman is suffer ing from kidney disease, the doctor asks: "Do you desire to urinute often, and are you compelled to get up frequently at night to make water? Do you have pains in the small of thu back? Does your urine stain linen.? Is there a scalding pain in passing water, and is it difficult to hold the urine back?" if the answer is "Yes to any of these questions, your kidneys are diseased and decay has set in. Ask yourself these questions, and answer them. There is another thing you can do. Put some of your urine In a glass tum bler or bottle, and let it-stand 24 hours. If there is a sediment or powder-like substance at the bottom, or a cloudy ap pearance, there is a grave danger. Your kidneys are surely affected. Sufferers with any of the above symptoms ought to be glad to know that Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy will surely re lieve and cure even the most distressing cases.

Was Prominent Citizen of Winthrop --Widely Known in State. A Skilled Physician and Kindly Man. All Mourn His Death. Winthrop, Me., Oct. 25.-(Special).-Dr. Albion Paris Snow passed away at hl3 home on Main street, this village, at 5 o'clock this morning. He had been out of health for about five years, diabetes being the cause. For the past six weeks he had been confined to his bed, his strength slowly failing, till this morning, when he quietly passed away. Funeral services services will be held, Thursday, at the late residence, and will be conducted with full Masonic rites. Dr. Snow was widely known as one of the most skillful and distinguished physi cians in the State. He was born at Brunswick, Me., March 14, 1826, his par ents being Abiezer and Sally (Purlngtonj Snow. At an early age he was put out on a farm to work and attend school. At the age of' 14 years, he began to teach school. At the age of 18 he entered Bow doin College, from which institution he was later obliged to withdraw on account of the delicate condition of his health, but later he made up for the loss of the full college course by a continual com panionship with books which was pursued throughout his life. At 20 years of age he began the study THE I.ATE DR. ALBION PARIS SNOW. f medicine, under the famous Prof. E. R. Peasley of New York.

He was an honored member of the Maine Medical Association and had contributed important articles upon '•Diphtheria" and "Prevailing Diseases of Kennebec Coun ty" to "Medical Education." in 1879 he became a trustee of the Maine insane asylum. He was a representative to the Maine Legislature in 1871. In char itable and educational work the doctor was almost foremost. He was 20 years a member of Winthrop's school board. In 1868 he was appointed chairman of the committee to organize the Kennebec County Medical Association, and in 1869 he became president of that body. His wife died five years ago. There are no children or near relatives to inherit the large property wnich he possessed. A plain granite shaft, 30 feet in height, (similar to that of Dr. Hubbard in Hallo well) marks the spot where the doctor’s remains will rest in Winthrop cemetery beside those of his wife. He will be sin cerely mourned by all classes in this vil lage and wherever he was known, for he was one of the kindliest of men. MAINE POSTAL CHANGES.

The instructions to the peace commis sioners before they started to Paris were not made public for obvious reasons, but from a high official comes the statement that this country will insist upon Spain yielding to every demand we make. She cannot do otherwise than give up even tually. She is like the sick man who is contending with the strong in business circles—almost powerless. It takes many years for nations to recover from weak ness, but sick men can quickly regain health and strength by taking Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. There have been many bad cases of dyspepsia and Indigestion cured by this medicine when it looked as though cure was impossible. The Bitters first put the stomach in order and bring i about proper digestion of food. 5* 5‘ Another Spanish Victory I He's captured Battle Ax.

T. S. Moon, who has been connected for many years with the lumbering in terests on the Penobscot river is dan gerously ill at his home on 2nd street, Bangor. The stable and L on the Washington Hackett place on Lincoln street, Farmington, were burned, Sunday night, and the house was badly dam aged. A lantern tipping over in the stable caused the blaze. Damage $500; insured. The Christian Endeavor Society of Win throp celebrated C. M. Bailey's 78th birth day, Monday evening, at the Friends' meeting1 house. Many of the church mem bors from the village were present, and 180 persons were present during the even ing- A tine supper was served, after which music and readings were the order of the evening. P. E. Hodgkins’ jewelry store at Milo, was broken into, Saturday night, and 12 wathches taken. Three tine ones were left. The watches hung in a case near the window. A big square of glass was broken and the thief reached in and got the jewelry. Two men, Judson and Henry Willey, who were arrested in Palmyra, last week, charged with robbery of the Mc Farland store, were brought before Judge Rogers at Belfast, Monday. Both men proved an alibi and were dis charged for lack of evidence to hold. G. H. Libby, principal of the Lewis ton High school, has been elected president of the Androscoggin Coun ty Teachers’ Association, and Miss Adelaide V. Finch, principal of the normal training school, chairman of the executive committtee of the same organization. The Biddeford common council, Mon day night, non-concurred with the al dermen's order compromising with the Water Company. The councilmen in sist that the collector bring suit to re cover taxes assessed against the com pany and let the courts decide the question of the right of exemption. Detective Odlin is still at work on the Ware murder case at Bucksport. It is understood that all clues up to date as known to the public have been worked out and that every suspect has been thoroughly Investigated. Some in vestigations were made, Monday, upon an entirely new line which gives prom ise of some progress towards the de sired end. Sylvanua Holden of Rockland, 2-1 years old, was badly injured, Monday, while at work on the government forti fications at Diamond Island, Portland harbor. He was struck by an over turned bucket of concrete, was taken to the city in an unconscious state, and was taken to the hospital. His ribs were broken and he received other injuries. A bold break was discovered, Tuesday morning, at the store of J. W. Mottram I of Lewiston. This store is situated on the corner of Walnut and Bartlett streets and some time during Monday night or earlv Tuesday morning, parties entered it from the Walnut street side, smashing out one-half a large square of glass in the side door, through which thee climbed. They carried away a whole box of tobacco, several boxes of cigars and other things of less value—the whole to the value of S30. In the Washington S.

Following the dedication will be a banquet and a ball at Miller’s hall, at which Kendall’s Orchestra of Skowhegan. will furnish music. Nearly all of the ice on the Penobscot river has been sold at good prices, this year, and most of it has been shipped. The bulk of last winter's cut was sold at $1 a ton or better, much of it at $1.25, and the local pool has disposed of 70,000 tons on these favorable terms. It is usual for the price of ice on this river to decline at this season of the year, but now it is going the other way. A Bangor dealer has received an offer of $2 a ton for all the stock he has unsold, about 2000 tons, and he will accept, although it is said that I the price of ice is likely to go up to $2.50 a ton, such is the scarcity of ice elsewhere.

After the Trilby foot comes the Cyrano nose. The Maria Teresa is coming North this week, but there is no panic on the coast of Maine this time. If the Dowager Kmpress of China has married Li Hung Chang it is quite safe to say that she will wear the peacock feather, a'' New York man on trial for beating his sister pleads as a defense that he thought she was his wife. Probably he will be acquitted. Lager is the popular thing in Minne sota, a3 in many other places, but that does not assure the election of William Lager, the Prohibition candidate for governor. A question now on trial before the p- ople of New York is whether the courts shall be run in the interests of justice or forTammany's revenue only. It is a disgraceful alternative to come up in a country like this, but the issue is plainly made. General Otis cables the war depart ment from Manila that the forces' of rulnaldo are being rapidly depleted. I Agulnaldo- had pulled one or two f athers out of the eagle's tail his fotces would have been "depleted” in a rather violent manner. By all means let Lieutenant Hobson h ve the money he desires for use in raising the Spanish war ships at Santi ago. Even if the work should cost all tin y are worth, the expenditure would still be a wise one for the constant re minder they would be of American naval prowess. International disturbances are easily accounted for. Some darkened minds have ascribed these disturbances to human ambition and excited passions, but it now seems they are all caused by the comet just discovered, and a large spot which is disporting itself on the face of the sun. The Tammany: leaders of New York state are now talking about running Van Wyck for President in 1900. They seem to have a poor conception of the requirements of the office in the way of a man. And besides,Van Wyck will ndt want another race soon after Hough Rider Roosevelt gets through with him next month. The Republican cause in Massachu setts is growing brighter since George Fred Williams has gone upon the stump. Although George Fred nomi nally ptfses as a Bryan Democrat the fact remains that he has been phe moninaliy successful in rolling up un precedentedly large Republican ma jorities in the old Bay State. It is just such legal delays as are giving John Anderson, the brutal mur derer of the captain and mate of the Olive Pecker, so long a lease of life that are largely responsible for the ex istence of lynch law in this country. There is room for great reforms in the methods of trying criminals in this country. Nowhere else in the civilized world does justice lag so sadly in such t cases. Peace hath her injuries somewhat P’ss renowned than war. In the peace jubilee at Chicago there were four temporary hospitals, with eight doc tors and a corps of tlfteen Red Cross rses, who followed the parade so as to care for the wounded. The accl ii i.t list exceeded thirty, mostly cases oi fainting and broken limbs. But it v.is a great time, and peace got a fine send-oft. _ Chicago turned her peace jubilee to good account. From the receipts of f ntertainments she gathered up a fund 'f not less than $35,000, to be used for lieedy soldiers and sailors of the recent ir or for their families that need help. There are many of these, and a sum can be well spent. A 1 aee jubilee, in which such charity as nds Is Intermingled, should always be a success. One of the most remarkable races in history has Just ended in New York in a victory for the American bark Sara nac which beat the British bark St. Mungo in a long race of 16.000 miles from the Philippines. They started at the same time and, notwithstanding the fact that they steered different courses, the Saranac going by way of Barbados and St. Helena, and the St. Mungo by Ascension, they arrived at. New York within a very few min utes of each other. Maine’s Batteries lor Cuba. Maine’s four batteries of heavy ar tillery, numbering about 500 men, are now hourly expecting the final orders which will take them South, and thence a little later to Havana with General Fitzhugh Lee’s army of occu pation. It was not their fortune to start for the front when the war ex citement was at its height, and so their departureds not surrounded with the glamour and attended by the pa triotic enthusiasm which marked the departure of the 1st Maine for Chicka mauga in May. Battery A was mustered in in May, and had about three months’ service at Fort Popham, before returning to Augusta, two months ago. Batteries B, C and D were mustered in a little later under the second call, and have passed’the summer and early autumn at Camp Powers. The whole fcnttalion is well officered, and made up of the same kind of fine material which com posed the 1st Maine. It is perfectly equipped, and in an excellent state of drill and discipline. Maine may well be proud that these batteries have been selected to remain in the service, and may rest assured that Major New comb and his men will give a good account of themselves wherever duty calls them and reflect credit upon their native State. It is not likely they will be called upon to fight for their flag, but they will eagerly welcome the op portunity if it does come. As a part of the army of occupation the batteries will have a post of honor and will see real service. They may be away from Maine only a few months, or they may not return till the two years of their enlistment is over. The routine of garrison life will be varied by more exciting episodes and perhaps more hard work than has marked the past few months in Camp Powers. The ranks will not be as full when the boys come back as when they march away. Already while they have been encamped here the fever has taken six members from their ranks and a number are now on the sick list. The batteries may start any day or their departure may be delayed for weeks. But they know that when they go the blessing of Maine goes with them, and that the old State looks to them to uphold its honor, and to carry themselves as worthy of their uniform. Another American Canal Project. A project having for its end the building of a canal between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, is being talked about in Texas with consider able enthusiasm and an effort is being made to interest the whole West in the big scheme. The plan was first pro posed some four years ago, and at that time it was estimated that it would cost some $150,000,1)00 to build the waterway that would connect Chicago with Galveston, but the project was soon lost sight of and it is only within the past few weeks that it has been revived. J. Jansen, formerly of the Norwegian army, was the first to suggest the idea, and he is now again at work on the matter. In speaking to a Fort Worth, Texas, paper of the canal he said: "It would be a factor in caring for the flood waters and prevent the Missis sippi inundations. The capacity of the canal would be equal to the task of discharging the flood water if built on the plan I outlined. It would convert the flood water, which, when uncon trolled. is a dreadful destroyer, into an obedient servant of mankind, and, be sides the advantages of freighting purposes, it would irrigate the South west and change the country into the garden of the world. The plan con templated storage lakes, to be con structed at suitable points, and all else that belongs to a gigantic national or international canal." me project seems almost too big a thing to be worth considering, but it is a fact that the canal would not cost near as much as the canal now being built by Russia to connect the Black sea with the Baltic. The Russian canal will be J.100 miles long and will be the greatest in the world. Commenced last June, the work is being hurried onward by thousands upon thousands of la borers and it is expected that the waterway will be completed and opened in 1902. It will have a depth sufficient to accommodate the largest battleship in the Russian navy going at a speed of six knots an hour, and the embankments are all to be of ma sonry so that they can not be de stroyed by the wash from the rapidly moving vessels. The entire canal will be lighted by a system of electric lights so that traffic may be carried on at night as well as by day. By mak ing use of the rivers the artificial con struction will be reduced 125 miles, but there will still be 1000 miles of canal to dig. Mr. Jansen believes that the entire West will support his scheme, and that the Great Southwestern canal will be a reality within a decade. The idea Is to use the rivers as much as possible and thus reduce the expense of making the great excavations. If Russia can build such a canal, so can the United States, he declares, but there is one thing certain and that is that such a canal will never be built after the Rus sian plan of taxing the people to death to foot the bill. Russia, too, is build ing its canal for war purposes while our waterway, if it is ever built, will be for a peaceful commerce and that alone. It is a pretty wild scheme on the whole, and the Nicaraguan canal project is much more worthy the at tention of the American nation at this time. This week Philadelphia will do for the East what Chicago did for the West in the line of a grand peace jubilee. The city has appropriated $50,000 and the citizens have raised $51, 000, so that the financial condition of the great festival is everything to be desired. Philadelphia contributed con siderably over $100,000 to the careTf the sick and the sending of supplies and delicacies to the soldiers during the war. and the big sum for the peace jubilee is an additional proof of the liberal appreciation and strong Ameri canism of the city. Chicago last week held one of the most successful peace jubilees in the history of the country. The President and the leading men of the whole nation were there, and more than a million people witnessed the pageantry. The banquets and the balls were on a magnificent scale. All accounts agree in saying that it was one of the greatest events in that city of large undertakings. The crowded condition of the court house during the Rose E. White mur der trial, showed the deep and general interest felt in this case throughout the community. It was the first murder case which County Attorney Heselton has had during his term of office, and those who have follow'ed it will coincide in the opinion that he conducted it with exceptional ability. We question if any murder case in the history of Ken nebec county was ever better prepar ed and presented. Nothing was ap parently overlooked. Mr. Heselton has given ample evidence as a prosecuting officer that in his hands the interests of the community will be efficiently guarded. Spain now understands that she can not unload any of her bonded indebted ness on the United States. When this country feels like increasing its bonded indebtedness in time of peace it has the Democratic party. |M®3m@ Oossfe, Methuselah. Methuselah lay on his bed of death. And sighed with the last quiver of his breath, Too faint to stir a rose's withered leaf. “A curse on thee, O Life, thou art so brief!” —Henry S. Webster, ’07 in Bowdoin Quill. The Bangor high school dances are raising a ferment in the Queen City. Twins are no curiosity in Blaine. There are seven pairs in the village. A Phillips man says it took 10 re volver shots to kill a rabbit, recently. But he doesn't say whether they all hit the rabbit. Brunswick has a movement on foot for a hospital on a small scale. A good hospital would keep the Bowdoin Medical school in that town. The Auburn Nimrod who tramped from 5 A. M. till dark and didn’t even get a shot at anything, returned home very tired. But he was more tired when his wife brought out a plump partridge which had flown against the house and broken its neck. A Southport family has been driven out of house and home by a swarm of spiders. They came from the South in a bundle of clothing and have multi plied by millions, driving out the in mates whose life had become a hideous nightmare. The home will probably be burned. Loads of potatoes are not uncom mon sights on the Caribou streets, but Henry Irving, (a local farmer, not the actor) brought in a load, the other day, which made peoples’ eyes stick out. It was hauled by two horses, and had on 103 barrels of potatoes put up in sacks. The roads are good up there and the horses must be strong, or else the reporter who tells this yarn to the Aroostook Republican can make Anna nias blush for shame. A little figur ing will show that this load wrould weigh over nine tons,—and two horses hauled it! Aroostook not only raises good potatoes and good loads of po tatoes, but good potato stories as well. Why is it that a sportsman who would stand about two chances in three of missing a deer, if he were to shoot at one invariably hits and kills a colt or a calf when he fires at one by mistake? This is a great and burning problem, and one that a num ber of city nimrods are trying to solve. Down in Bristol the year’s patriotism has been so infectious that even the squirrels have caught it. A resident noticed a common red squirrel recent'y making off with a little American flag, probably from a veteran’s grave. The squirrel, in all likelihood, intended to line his nest with that flag against the coming old fashioned winter. “Whom I should marry; when I should marry,” was the subject an nounced by a Milbridge pastor for his evening service, and the young people gave him a packed house. Wonder if his wife helped him prepare that ser mon? Speaking of booms, what is the mat ter with Bath? The Shipping City never knew such good times. There are over *3.000,000 of contracts on hand at the Iron Works alone, not a spare rent in the city, and everybody is plan ning on turkey for Thanksgiving. Moreover, there are more babies in the city than ever before, and that’s the best part of the boom. They make the boom a howling success. It is a very rainy day when we do

n> oiden times a leper srasAstoned out of town; in modern times a sick man is stoned out of all his chances in life by the crowd of busy, hustling men who have no place and no use for him. A man who has bilious turns and tired feelings and frequent “off- days might as well go out of business. These things me bad enough in the self-disgust and wretchedness they involve if they do not go any further. But you never know what is going to develop in a half hourished, bile-poisoned constitution. If a man as soon as he feels that he is not get ting the forceful strength and energy out of his food that he ought to, will begin tak ing Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, he will soon put himself in the position where he can do a man’s work easily and cheerfully. His appetite will be sharpened; his liver invigorated; his digestion strengthened; an edge put on his whole nutritive organism. Those subtle poisons which debilitate the entire organism and invite consumption and a host of other diseases, will be driven out of the system; and he will gain plenty of pure nourishing red blood, muscle power and nerve-force. In short he will be a man among men. There are hundreds of delusive temporary stimulants, “malt extracts," sarsaparillas and compounds, which are more or less "boomed" by merely profit-seeking druggists: but nn hon est druggist will give you the "tiolden Medical Discovery” when you ask for it.

In Damariscotta a deer stuck his head through the kitchen doorway and watched the lady of the house at her work, until by vigorous "shooing” she drove him away. Up in Perham the caribou are so tame that a farmer captured a seven-year-old specimen by the horns and now keeps him in the stable. Oscillatory indulgence at parties and sociables, in connection with the games that are always played, is the cause of a crusade by the ladies of Benton. The Good Templars and the grange have enacted legislation prohibiting it. and other organizations are trying to fol low their example. But then comes the rub of enforcing the law, for the young people are lined up in vigorous opposition to it. They strongly in sinuate that anyone urging reasons to have kissing games prohibited has ar ranged matters so as to indulge in their share of kissing in private or are so unattractive as to not be able to get their share in public. Maine's great foot ball game of the season will occur at Lewiston, next Saturday, when Bowdoin and Bates meet on the gridiron. These are the two strongest teams in the State and which is the stronger of these two, and by how much, are questions arous ing intense interest among all lovers of the great fall sport. For many years Bowdoin was easily the champion of the Slate, but hard earned experience and excellent coaching have improved her rivals, till matters are now more interesting. Last year the Bowdoin team was weaker than usual and poor ly managed, and for the first time it met defeat from a jt&ine team. This year it is strong again and is deter mined to regain its former place at the head. It has played seven games, thus far, winning five of these by scores ranging from 59 to 0, to IS to 11. It has lost games to Dartmouth and Har vard, but scored in both games, no other small college having made a touchdown against Harvard for many years. Colby and the University of Maine are among the five teams Bow doin has beaten by good scores, this fall. Bates is regarded as much stronger this year than ever before. The team has played four games to Bowdoin's seven, and has not met such strong teams as Bowdoin has tackled. It has defeated University of Maine twice by scores larger than Bowdoin made against this team, and has beaten New Hampshire State Col lege by a score of 25 points smaller than Bowdoin made. Saturday it de feated Exeter IS to 11, the same score Bowdoin made against Tufts. Of course it is very unsafe business to base predictions on comparative scores, as every foot ballist knows, and it will take Saturday’s game to settle the question of superiority. The special "baby edition” of the Bath Daily Times is just too cute for anything. Sweet little tots of the Shipping City to the number of over fio are represented upon its pages in clear half tones. It was a happy stroke of enterprise, and the Times did itself proud in conceiving and executing the idea. The mothers of Bath will cherish that supplement. President Dooley and President Mack.

New York, Oct. 25.—The periodical set tlement on the London Stock Exchange, today, developed a very nervous state of feeling in the financial markets, due both to the stringent conditions of the money market and the threatening political out look. The very high loaning rates for carrying over stocks precipitated quite an active liquidation and a squeeze in money rates. The uneasiness in London was re flected upon other markets in Europe and there was a general rise in the rates ol exchange on London and in the discount rates at all continental centers. British consols dropped a full point, and govern ment securities and all other classes of securities, including American railways, showed violent declines. The market was dull in the latter part of the day, but prices were quite firmly held and closed at about the best. Net gains in many instances reached a point or over, and prices on- the average re trieved yesterday's sharp decline. Sugar was firmly held. Pullman sold off fi points on the judicial decision holding that the company's large real estate own ership involved a violation of the char ter. The stock recovered nearlv 4 points. The sterling exchange market was an accurate barometer of the course of affairs in London. Demand sterling made an upward bound of cent during the early excitement in London and while stocks were still being sold here for Lon don account. But with the later relief of the nervous tension in London and with some buying here for London account, demand sterling suddenly dropped a full ppnt wpnlr Not withstanding this violent oscillation in the price of credits in London, there was not a ripple in the local money mar ket, which continued quiet and easy.

CONTESTED SEAT. (Continued from page 5.) Eddington. One day in October, 1897, the family went to Bangor, locking the house securely and hiding the key where no one could find it. They re turned that night and found the key in its place, and the house just as they had left it. The next day they dis covered that a watch that had been in the house was gone, as well as some diamonds. They had not seen the arti cles for two months ^previous, but this was when they missed them. They ac cused the hired man, Curtis, who had never been known to be in the house. It developed at the trial that the family had many strangers in the house during the two months, and had employed other hired men who were allowed in the house. Curtis was con victed, though he said he was innocent. Few thought he did the stealing, though some still believe he knows who did it. The articles stolen have never been recovered. The citizens of Eddington circulated the petition, and sent Mr. Williams to Augusta in behalf of the young man. The matter was laid upon the table un til the next meeting. At 6.30 adjournment was taken until November 29, at 4 o’clock. Among the visitors were Senator Chamberlain of Lincoln county, and A. R. Nickerson, commissioner of sea and shore fisheries. The First Baptist Services. The Monday evening service at the First Baptist church was most im portant and helpful. After speaking a few moments upon the events, and im pressions, which led him to Augusta. Mr. Wyman announced as his subject, the condition of affairs at Philippi when the jailor was converted and “everyone's bands were loosed.” He emphasized the fact that though Paul and Silas—who came to Philippi to do special work for the Lord—were shut up in prison and the jailor stood before the door; the Lord’s work went on just the same, and even the jailor himsplf acknowledged His power. And this was done because Paul and Silas did what they could do under the circum stances. All other avenues were closed, but they sang and prayed to God. So the Christians in Augusta may feel that though there are many hindrances to the work, and obstacles seemingly too great to be overcome, God can work His own pleasure, if His people are true, whatever the situation. Mr. Wyman sang but once but all who heard him felt that God's voice was heard quite as plainly in the sing ing, as in the preaching. His voice is not only cultured, but consecrated, ana the vestry was far too small to contain the volume of sound, as the singer poured his soul out to God in one grand burst of melody. Come, tonight. Everybody invited. The Fryeburg Chautauqua. The Maine Chautauqua Union is al ready making plans for its annual as sembly, to be held during the summer of 1899. The executive committee has just appointed sub-committees for the details of the work. The management will be in general the same as that of 1898. The most important feature will be the school of methods for teachers, which was established, this year; it will be continued and improved. This fall finds the Maine Chautauqua Union in a very healthy condition, and all in dications promise a future of growth. Uieut. Col. C. G. Morton of the 1st Maine Volunteers, arrived in the city, on the noon train, yesterday, to be present as one of the judges at the drill of the Augusta Cadets at the A. O. U. W. fair. This is the colonel’s first visit to the city since he left here last May with the regiment for the South. He has almost entirely re covered from the effects of the fever he contracted in the South and looks more like his robust self than he has for many a day. William J. Later died, Tuesday af ternoon at 1.30, at the City hospital of typhoid fever, aged 45 years. He was an employee' at the Augusta House wher he was taken ill with the fever, being removed to the hospital about the first of October. He was single. One brother lives in this city. The re mains will be taken to Brighton Plan tation, his former home, this afternoon.

They have two silver bands around them with the word ‘'motor man” or "conductor” as the case may be. A certain resident of Northern avenue and one from North Augusta are regarded with a great deal of sus» picion by some of their friends lately. They went hunting in Northern Maine and returned with two deer skins and the story that they had shot two deer. The meat was missing. The soldier boys will be with us for a few days longer than was expected when the orders to move were first re ceived. They will be greatly missed from the street and many hearts of the fair sex will bleed for a few days as the boys in many cases have formed warm attachments since they came here in July. The Kremonia people were fortunate in their selection of a lady demonstra tor for Augusta. The persons who step into Hill Locke’s, this week, may as well make up their minds be fore entering, to acknowledge the su perior merits of "Kermonia,” as a dirt remover. The writer is a willing wit ness. after testing it, to its excellence, and does not propose to keep house without It. Every little while there is a certain disagreeable occurrence in every city in the shape of rumors of a peeping Tom. There is nothing more despis able than this class of individuals, and it is too bad that Augusta has to be afflicted with one. He has made his appearance on several occasions re cently in different sections of the city. Should he be captured he will be dealt with in a suitable manner. We need not be terrified even if the woodchuck has, with chattering teeth, sought his winter quarters. Winter has but few terrors for the New Eng lander of the present age. Even now the harbingers of another spring are at our doors. Step into J. E.

"Only waiting ‘till the orders Lave all been gathered in,” sang a battery man, Tuesday, when he was asked why the battalion did not move to the South. ‘‘But I will tell you what it is though,” he added. ‘‘This is the most wearisome wait we have had yet. We had our mouths all made up for a Journey, and a hustle at that, and now we are held in expectancy, thinking every time the mail carrier comes, he will have a telegram for the major to break camp, and depart. We have been here four months, but the long est days of all have been since last Saturday night.” Many things would have had to have been neglected though if they had gone, Monday afternoon, as they intended, for ever since Saturday, the officers and their assistants have been as busy as possible condemning old equipments, issuing whatever the men need, and getting all their accounts into shape for a move. The orders to move were not ex pected to arrive Tuesday, as all the reports go to show that they will not leave Augusta before Thursday at the earliest, unless the war depart ment decides to send the men right through to New York on the steam cars. This is thought fairly probable, if there is any hurry about getting them to the New York transport. It would be but very little more expense to the government. They have the transport though and it is to go to New York after the 8th Massachusetts is disembarked. An order received today, would not surprise any of them in the least, for they half expect to be ordered to move either, Thursday or Friday. Surgeon Martin said Tuesday that the patients under his care were im proving. All but seven have been moved to the wooden building, and these seven still remain in the field hospital. The men show that they are improving, by their actions, as they show much morp interest in get ting better than they did before the orders to be in readiness to move ar rived. It is understood that seven of the hospital corps will be detailed to re main with the sick men in the hos pital, and will join the battalion when their services are no longer needed here. There Is a spirit of goodness pervad ing the men of the battalion for not a man was in the guard house, Tues day, and Lieutenant Whitney is not getting the practtce in court work that they gave him at one time. Quartermaster Dutton went to his home in Waterville, Tuesday morn ing, to rest as long as possible before starting South. He is still very weak though improving. He has his de partment now, so that he can be ready to ship all at a moment's notice so he can well afford to take this rest. Though they are to be here but a few days at the most the same scru pulous care is taken with the policing the camp that it may appear clean. If the men remain here a day or two longer they will have the pleasure of policing the quarters formerly occu pied by the 1st Regiment. Quartermaster Sergeant Murch of the 1st Regiment, is fast getting the property of the regiment to the store house at the city, and the tent floors are being taken up and piled. As soon as these floors are up, if the battalion is here it will make the field more presentable. The tents of the 1st Regiment offi cers which have been left standing for those who remained here, will be all down today, and only a few of the men who are left to care for the prop erty will be here. Quartermaster Sergeant Murch and his crew will have to remain in the city for a time, but the others will go this week. Clerk Burden who has been constantly on duty with the exception of 24 hours in September will go to his home in Biddeford today. The 1st Regiment surgeons are at work on their report which is a hard one to make out. The officers who sent a petition to President McKinley asking that they be retained in the service as a battal ion, now have lost hope, as the Presi dent was away at the time it was sent. This list so it is said is made up of Major Peterson, Captains Baker, Con ley and Barney. 1st Lieutenants Blackington, Hubbard and Welch, and Second Lieutenants Lang, Nash and Philbrook. Lieutenant Stanley P. Dennett, who was offered a commission in the regu lar army, has decided not to aapept and will resume his business in Ban gor. Alfred Morrissey was before Judge Andrews, Tuesday morning, for bdlng intoxicated. He was fined $3. Mike Scanlon was sent to jail for 30 days for the same offence.

Members of State Board of Health Classifies the Southport Spiders. Doubtless the people will remember the story that has been travelling the I rounds of the State press, about the spiders In a house in Southport. They were so very numerous that the family had to move out and leave them In possession of the house. Some of them were captured and sent to Prof. Robinson of Bowdoin College, who Is a member of the State board if health, and he says they are the or dinary spider and not at all poisonous. Colonel E. C. Farrington returned, Tuesday, from a few days passed at his camp in Fryeburg. Superintendent W. W. Stetson was in Fort Fairfield, Tuesday, calling upon the schools there. He will go to Cari bou, today, and will later in the week visit Frenchville and Fort Kent, be fore returning to his home. Charles J. Harmon of Boring, Short Harmon of Portland, was at tha State House on business, Tuesday. The dead leaves were cleaned from the broad steps and terraces that lead from State street to the Capitol, Tues day morning. Carpenter Stone and his assistant put the wainscoting about the Senate lobby, Tuesday morning. Soon the painters will be through. with this place, and the carpet which will be like the one in the State library, will be put down. Massasoit Lodge of Odd Fellows of Castine, has been incorporated under the laws of the State. The Lamoine Beach Water Company of Ellsworth, has filed a certificate of incorporation under a special act of the Legislature in 1897. They purpose to furnish the town of Lamoine with water. The capital stock is $5000, of which $50 is paid in. Hannibal E. Hamlin of Ellsworth, is the president, and John A. Peters, Jr., of Ellsworth, is the treasurer. For Better Fishing. Messrs. Delano and Shaw have com pleted screening the Barton ferook, the outlet of Three Cornered pond. This beautiful little lake, some two miles in length, lies near the Belfast road, si'c miles east of Augusta. It is a spring fed pond with bold and rocky shores broken here and there by beaches of pure white sand. Its one inlet, Stony brook, was a famous trout stream, of old. Last year Mr. E. A. Hussey, with S. S. Brooks Co., obtained 1200 trout which were liberated in these waters in November. This season through the co-operation of Messrs. Barton and Pierce of Wind sor, and Messrs. Haskell, Chandler, Shaw, Webster and others of Augusta, the screening of the pond has been done in the most substantial manner. It is hoped to obtain more fish, this fall, and thus gradually develop an other accessable play ground for our busy citizens. AMUSEMENTS. The San Francisco Minstrels will be the next attraction at Meonian hall, Saturday, October 29.

Frank Hart of Augusta, recently suf fered a peculiar accident. While at work at the Iaiekwood mills, assisting the roofers, he cut his hand badly.

The hand seemed in a fair way to be as well as the other in a short time, but when ns returned to work, in a few minutes, lie stepped down to attend the lire. As he opened the stove door, the flames burst out and the alcohol-saturated cloth caught lire, the hand being badly burned. Mr. Hart lost but little time, but pluek ily stuck to his work. It is probable that work will not be commenced on the Weeks’ Mills branch of the Wiscasset Quebec Railroad, this fall. President Thayer in speaking of the matter a day or two ago, said that he thought nothing would be done about the railroad, this fall, farther than what is already being done. The surveyors are already at work on the road, and have been working for some time, but when their work is completed it is prob able that nothing more will be done this fall. When asked what bearing the scheme to run the Franklin County road to Gardiner would have, he said that he did not believe for an Instant that the road would ever be built to that place for the reason that with the exception of having an outlet to the sea during the summer months only, there is no induce ment to run a road there. In regard to the present road losing its charter he sa, l he thought there would be no question about the charter being renewed for th reason that the promoters have the sur vey all made and every thing In readi ness to begin work in the spring.

Unusual Interest in the Business, Sermons and Discussions-. Religious Subjects Treated in a Practical Manner by the Clergymen. Watervllle, Mo., Oct. 23.—(Special.) The Methodist Ministerial Association of the Augusta district resumed services, yesterday morning, by holding a praise servico at 9 o’clock, which was led by Kov. George D. Lindsey, pastor of the Methodist church in this city. There was a larger attendance of min isters at the meeting held, yesterday morning, than at the opening session, Monday night. Those present at the morning session were Kev. J. E. C'lancey, Sylvester Hooper, M. K. King, Rev. F. E. Leach, Rev. G. D. Lindsey. Rev. i). 13. Miller, Rev. F. C. Noreross, Rev. H. 1.. Nichols, Rev. O. S. Plllsbury, Rev. M. L. Phillips, Rev. C. Purington and Rev. O. E. Springer, of the Eastern Maine Con ference, and Rev. T. D. Whiteside. During the morning praise service men tion was made of the death of Rev. A. F. Chase, president of Kent's llill Seminary. Word was also received of the death of the wife of Kev. Mr. Pottle of Iiowdoln ham. Prayers were offered for the fami j lies of both. i ne morning sermon was delivered Dy I Kev. M. E. King of Monmouth, who preached a very Interesting and able ser mon, taking his text from Ephesians, v:18: “Hut lje filled with the spirit." Tne prayer was offered by Rev. O. S. Pills bury of Fairfield. When the business session was opened it was found that the presiding elder. Rev. A. S. Isold, was absent, and Kev. J. E. Claneey was called on to preside. It was voted to have the morning session of the meeting commence at 8.30 in place of at o'clock, as was suggested, the after noon session at 2 and the evening session at 7.30 The business being finished, the topics for discussion were brought up. The first paper was presented by Rev. O. S. Pllls bury of Fairfield. In treating the subject, “Iiow Shall a Person Know that He Is a j Christian?” he said he had no sympathy] with a minister who stood over a person who had come forward for prayers, and! said: "Your sins are forgiven.” God alone is able to say that. He believed that wan one reason why there are so many hin drances in the church work, today. lie! believed that a person knew he was a Christian through the peace and happl- ness in the person's life, and not through any deductions. On account of the absence of some of J the members. Rev. Mr. Lindsey read his paper a little out of the usual order. He 1 treated the subject: "How May Method ism Be Made to Advance as in the For mer Days?" He held that the condit'ons are different, today, from what they were years ago. At that time the Calvinistlc ideas were being preached, and as the Methodists preached the doctrine of sal- i vution for all who wished it, the church j merbership greatly increased. He held I that it was not the fault of the ministers I that such rapid advancements were not made, but the fault of the times and a change In the conditions. Another thing he claimed is that thete l is a timidity among the ministers in a j certain degree. He claimed that the min isters should take a more open stand than some do at the present time. In this way he thought that while a few might be driven out of the church, more would be induced to come in. By the ministers j being more open, he argued, some of th dead wood which is a hindrance to thy church would be driven out and the church given a new life. in reierence to inis, ne said that there was a certain young lady in his church who talked of the Holy Ghost, Monday night, and for three nights in the week afterwards attended a dance in the I'nl tarian vestry. He argued that by a more rigid enforcement of the church discipline there would be none of this work and in consequence- the people would have a greater respect for the church and the church members. “We are coddling peo ple too much." he said in conclusion, “and the result is people are laughing at us.” Rev. Mr. Clancey also agreed that there was a change in conditions, and where people were once willing to go a long distance to attend campmeeting-s, they prefer to stay where there are more com fortable surroundings. He held that there are so many places of amusement that people are all tired out from social duties, and are not in consequence able to go to church through sheer weariness. Rev. Mr. Hooper held that if the pas tors were filled with the Holy Ghoit, the people would wheel more readily into line. This closed the morning session and the meeting was adjourned until afternoon. The afternoon sermon was delivered by Rev. H. L. Nichols of Monmouth. After the sermon the unfinished discussion of the topic before the meeting at the time of the adjournment was further discussed. When this discussion was over, the topic Joy Tills the Hedrc of* every person using MARTIN L. HALL CO.’S “Preferred Stock” Mocha Java Coffee, Unexcelled in Purity, Strength and Flavor.
