Rain Prevents Dress Parade—Commissioned Officers Revolver Match Unfinished. AIN Thill was the word at Ciunji Powers, yester day, and ofUccra and men were continually cast ing their eyes at the dull grey shy with anxiety ex pressed on their faces. In the morning, the sun made its appear ance hut there was an omin ms haziness in the west and, in the latter part of the forenoon, the clouds had t overed the sl:y and drops of rain began to fail. At noon, they were coming faster, but during the early attorn on the showers la id up somewhat, only to fall with an in creased downpour, late In the after noon and during the evening. There is nothing that will take the ardor and interest front an encampment as the rain, and it is not to be wondered at that everyone at t'.imp Powers is hop ing for a pleasant two weeks. About the only affect yesterday's rain had on the work was on the dress parade which was to have been held as usual, just before sunset, but which did not take place, as there was a steady, dreary drizzle at the time. The men either lounged in the tents or were grouped ab lit clad in heavy capes and campaign hats. These on guard continued to walk their rounds and envied their more fortunate com a nles. The company team match came off. yesterday t irenoon, and result! i very satisfactorily, considering that many of the men have had very little prac tice on the range, this'year, some ef them not having been out even once. The teams as a rule showed up well and all were confident that an ther year will see the 1st Kegiment a com pany of crack shots. The officers' re volver contest was unfinished, yester day. Excellent scores were made by those who shot. Tht* busy routine work of tli" camp has now begun in earnest ami the men are finding that "sojering” has its u;>s and downs and is not all pleasure, but all are taking hold of the work in good shape and the present encampment prom ises to be as much of a success as any in the history of tile National Guard, j Officers are enforcing strict camp dis- cipline and they are being cheerfully I and readily obeyed. At the lirst call, at G.flO yesterday morning, the hustle began; the men jumped from the beds under the- white canvas and were into their uniforms in short order. At the first call of as sembly following reveille companies were formed for roll call and, at t>.30. was the mess call for breakfast. At the first call for assembly, at 7.30, the I respective details were formed by the 1st sergeants and arms and uniforms were closely inspected. Drill cdinpan ies \t re formed in the company streets aniLthen began the forenoon drill. The romVanies marched and counter marched for more than two hours and right solid work it v as. A few days of this work will wear off ali ragged corners and a better 1 rilled i >t of men than the 1st Regiment will be hard to find.. The fitter part of the forenoon, rain drops began to fall and the men on guard were dressed in i h-ir rubber pon chos. Although the men have been in camp hut one day a well-beaten path has been wortt at >und the camp by the ceaseless tread of the sentries. It is impossible to get within the lines without Coming face to fare with one of them; they are ever on the alert as though the enemy was expected to pounce uimn the camp at any moment. A spirit of jollity pervades throughout the camn and when the men are oft ditty songs and, jokes are heard from the tents and groups may he seen with in engaged in a soci'il game of cards. Games of base ball also 4ake place on the grounds. Many, however, ;*r per fectly willing to stretch out on the grass and rest when there is no work to be done, which is not very often, for there is somethinug going on most of the time. The men responded, to mess call with an agility that is sufficient pro if that camp "work sharpened up th :r appe tites to a remarkable degree. Tt is a fact that during the first days of mus ter every man seems to have an ab normal appetite and then it decreases to the normal before the end of the encampment. This is because th- men are new at the work and because of other changes in air and work. All the boys are entering upon the work with zeal and good nature and their bright intelligent faces and stalwart forms as they line up for drill reflect great credit upon the Stat for the pro duction of such a body of men as is the 1st Regiment. Th.- following was th.- tail fuld not be located and deadly chlorine gas which poured out of the hatches made it impossible for the men to remain long at the work. The ofll cers of the vessel headed the men and man after man was lifted unconscious from the hold, time and time again. The captain was carried out four times and cnee it appeared as though breathing had stopped. The fire is suposed to have been caused by the spontaneous combustion of hay in which earthen ware was packed. THE MINEOLA WINS New York Yacht Club's Run Over Vineyard Sound Lightship Course.

HOUSE OF SAVOY Makes Itself Still More Sol:d With Its People. King Victor and Queen Helena Hasten to Railroad Wreck Scene Aatf Do All in JPower to Givo Asiistancn to the Injured. Rome, Aug. 13.—The railroad accident not far from this city. Sunday night, turns out to have been more serious than anticipated. It now appears that 13 persons were Killed and 40 wounded, of which 15 are seriously injured. The accident occurred at midnight at a point about 30 miles from this city. The disaster was caused by the tel escoping of two sections of a train on the railroad from Home to Florence, bearing notable persons who had bee a attending the recent funeral ceremo nies here. 11 The engine of the t.rst section became disabled and stopped and was almost immediately afterwards strin g by the second division. Tlie Grand Duke and Grand 1'uehess peter of Russia and tne members of the Turkish mission who had attended the funeral of King Hum bert. were among the passengers but they were uninjured. The grand duchess is a sister of the new Queen of Italy. When informed of the accident King Victor Emanuel and Queen Helena hastened to til.* scene. The Queen and her sister re turned to Quirinai. while the King and grand duke remained on the stmt giv ing orders to assist in clearing the wreckage and saving the injured. They entered the Quirinai at 6 in the morn ing. Among the injured was Gen. I!uflin, head of the Belgian mission of the late King's funeral. His leg is broken. The police have ordered the arrest of two men for neglecting to make the regulation signals to stop the second portion of the train. The entire press speaks of the cour age of the King in going alone among his people ir. order to succor the vic tims of the accident, and in driving ia a simple cab with the Queen, thus showing, as one journal puts it, "firm ness and coolness in conformity with tile traditions of the house of Savoy. The population is enthusiastic over the conduct of the sovereigns. BASE BALL. National League Games. AT PITTSBURG.

(Continued from page 1.) arrival of the message at least shows that a certain measure of communica tion is open. One of the chief sources of congratulation among officials is that the fancied hordes of China have not materialized, or at least have not pre vented the international column from drawing close to the gates of Pekin. Shortly after this dispatch arrived, another message from Gen. Chaffee far more lengthy, gave the melancholy result of the fight at Yang Tsun. The casualty list is given in detail, with the additional information that the dead had been buried at Yang Tstin and that the wounded had been sent back to the hospital at Tien Tsin. The reply of the t’nited States gov ernment to China's overtures of peace was made public early in the day, showing the firm and final position that had been taken. While expressing sat isfaction at this peaceful step, the reply states that it is evident that "there can be no general negotiation between Chi na and the powers" so long as the min isters and iegationers are restrained and in danger. Then follows a specific statement of what the United States expects as a condition precedent to a cessation of hostilities, viz: that a body of the re lief force be permitted to “enter Pekin unmolested" and escort the ministers back to Tien Tsin. It developed during the day that the reference to "the powers.” employed in the American reply was not without a distinct meaning. Exchanges be tween the various powers have he- n go ing on constantly, and as a result the officials had the satisfaction of know ing late in the day that the position of the I'nited States had the approval and support of all the great powers. While this has not been expressed in any formal manner, by all the parties, yet the exchanges in the chancellories of Europe and tl.rough the foreign rep resentatives in Washington, had made it positive that the powers were acting unitedly In approval of the course of this government. Several of the foreign representatives, including Baron Speck Yon Sternberg, the German charge d'affaires, and Mr. De Woolant. the Russian charge d'af faires, had extended conferences with Mr. Adee during the afternoon. These added to the assurances of unanimity among the powers. The presence of the Russian represen tative was gratifying in clearing away some misapprehension, which was not I shared by the government here, as to Russia's course in authorizing M. De Giers to leave Pekin under Chinese es cort. it was pointed out that this in no way brought about a difference be tween the attitude of Russia and that of the other powers as all were acting on the theory that the Chinese govern ment must first give an absolute guar antee for the safety of the ministers. It seems evident that this absolute guarantee cannot be given by China unless it allows the international forces to enter Pekin, so that in effect the Russian position does not differ ma terially from that of the other powers. At least Russia is included among those that fully approve the course taken by the United States. MUST OPEN PEKIN. China Surely Ought to Understand Last Note from Washington. Washington. Aug 1A The depart ment of state, t 'day. made public the reply of the United States government t Minister Wit's eommunleation. itr i" "red. Sunday morning, notifying th department of the appointment of Karl l.i Hung t'hang as envoy plenipoten tiary to negotiate with the powers. This reply was sent to Minister Wu at o'clock. Sunday afternoon, and is as follows: Memorandum. Tout hing the imperial edict of Aug. v appointing Li Hung t'hang envoy plenipotentiary to conduct negotiations on the part of China with the powers, and the request for a cessation of hos tilities pending negotiations, communi cated to Mr. Adec by Mr. Wu on the 12th of August. 1900. Tlie government of the I'nited States learns with satisfaction of the appoint ment of Karl Li Hung Chang as envoy plenipotentiary to eonduet the negotia tions with the powers and will, on its part, enter upon such negotiations with a desire to c mtinue the friendly relia tions so long existing between the two countries. It is evident that there can be no j general negotiations between China and the powers so long as the ministers of the powers and the persons under their protection remain in their pres ent position of restraint and danger, and that the powers cannot cease their efforts for the delivery of these repre i sentatives to which they are constrain ed by the highest considerations of national honor, except under an ar rangement adequate to accomplish a pea t ea ble del i verance. We are ready to enter into an agree inent between the powers and the Chi nese government for a cessation of hostile demonstrations on condition I that a sufficient body of the forces composing the relief expedition shall be permitted to enter Pekin unmolested and to esc >rt the foreign ministers aim residents back to Tien Tsin. this move ment being provided for and secured by such arrangement and dispositions of tro >ps as shall be considered satis factory by the generals commanding the forces composing the relief expe dition. iSigned 1 Alvey A.

The text of this reply to the over tures communicated by Minister Wu 'cis telegraphed, last night, to rep: sentatives ..f the United States f i communication to the governments of powers co-operating in the relief move ment.

Prof. Robert Fitzsimmons has solar plexused the idea that he is a has been. Now we will see if New Hampshire can improve upon the Maine way of doing it. Itisn't too late yet to make the shirt waist man an issue in the national campaign. The only cloud on the Republican horizon is the report that Bryan will make only half a dozen speeches. Four weeks from this morning the Republicans of the United States will say “Well done. State of Maine!” The record time for running down Mt. Washington lias just been lowered. The record for running up the moun tain has not yet been made. The Shanghai liar is outdone by a political writer of the Syracuse (N. Y.) Telegram, who declares that "the Re publicans are in fear of losing Maine." "The Empire is here," shouts George Fred Williams of Massachusetts. He exaggerates somewhat, as the empire has not yet reached New England. It has come farther North than North Carolina. It is greatly annoying to the Demo cracy that the Republicans keep on talking about prosperity, sound money, and other things which the Democrats are trying to keep out of sight in this campaign by their "imperialism” bluff. An old time Democrat, noted for horse sense, said to the Journal, the other day, in reference to the political situation; "1 agree with Lincoln that it is not safe to swap horses when cross ing a stream,—especially when the other hoss is afflicted with botts and blind staggers.” Speaking of the placing of the Eng lish war loan in New York, Henry Clews, in his financial review, says; "This transaction affords us a financial prestige never before enjoyed, and is another decisive step in the direction of New York's advance to the first place in the world’s money center. It is the forerunner of the world's govern ment securities that will ultimately find their broadest market here. We hate demonstrated our immense finan cial strength before all nations and now make a beginning in reaping the reward, t-uch a development would be utterly impossible if our finances did not rest upon an unequivocal, gold basis, maintaining „Ur currency upon equal terms with that of other nation*.** great A Significant Kansis Canvats. The Kansas City Journal sends East many a good word from Kansas and the middle West. In a late issue it had a political canvass made by a cor respondent of a township, selected by chance, in Jefferson county. The arti cle furnished an exceedingly interest ing and promising story of political readjustment in the Sunflower state. The canvass was made by a corres pondent of the Journal as a verifica tion of the Republican state commit tee's report on that township. The committee's report was verified in every particular, there being 30 changes from Bryan to McKinley and none from McKinley to Bryan, and of the eight gold Democrats of the town ship who voted for Palmer and Buck ner or McKinley and Hobart in 1S86, five declared their intention to support the Hepublican ticket this year. As this township, which was selected by chance for Investigation, may be regarded as a pretty good test of polit ical sentiment in Kansas, the report is very significant. The names of those who have changed from Bryan to Mc Kinley are given, and most of them gave their reasons for changing. These reasons are timely and instructive, comins from professional men, mer chants, farmers, mechanics and labor ers. Among the sentiments expressed may be mentioned the following: “It has been demonstrated that we have an abundance of money, and the laboring people are having a chance to earn good wages. Farmers are pros perous and business in general is good. There is no reason to trade off a cer tainty for an uncertainty.” "It is impossible for me, with my love of Americanism, to support a ticket whose main issue is the hauling down of the American llag.” “I think that the future success of the country depends upon the success of the Republican party. The most disastrous tiling that could happen at this time would be the election of a Democratic president.” “I have no confidence in the Demo cratic professions of liberty and free dom, as their past history will not bear them out. If they believe in equal rights, why do they not encourage a free ballot among blacks as well as whites?” "When Bryan, in 1R!>6. declared that the success of Republicans meant 8 cent corn and 25-cent wheat, fore closure of mortgages on farms and the starvation of laboring people, 1 actual ly took some stock in his prophecies. But lie has proven a false prophet* If he was wrong in his prophecies then, why should we listen to his prophecies now?" "This talk about ‘consent of the gov erned,' coming from Democrats, is ridiculous. That doctrine is not men tioned in North Carolina and other Southern states.” "I have become disgusted with the sympathy the Pops profess for the laboring man. It is bogus.” "Plenty of work and good times have changed me from a Bryanite to a Mc Kinley man. Bryan caught us four years ago with his alarmist speeches. He will not do it again.” "I have had plenty of work the past three years. That’s what interests me.” “I have made money farming under McKinley. It kept me scratching to make a living under Cleveland.”' "I am for prosperity and the flag." "We should not swap horses in the middle of the stream.” "My motto is, 'Let good enough alone.' "The Republicans gave us what they said they would—good times. That is why I am for McKinley." "I voted for Bryan in '86 because I thought he would bring prosperity. He lost. The Republicans have brought it, and I am for McKinley." These good and sutlicient reasons will apply as well in other states as in Kansas. An "Impossible’’ Acquisition. Wm. J. Bryan solemnly asserts that "it is impossible to secure title to a people by force or by purchase,” a dec laration which shows a lamentable ig norance of history or a deep enjoyment of wilful misrepresentation. Now, if a thing is really impossible, according' to dictionary definition, it never was done and never will be. If a thing, has been done, it is not an impossibility. "What man has done man can do.” What a country has done a country can do. The Hartford Courant takes a few examples from American history to show Mr. Bryan the magnitude of his mistake. Let us summarize those examples. The i’nited States secured title to the Louisiana territory people fall col ors) by purchase in 1X03. The nomi-l nal price was $13,000,000. The consent of the Louisiana territory people was not asked. The men at the American end of that transaction were President Thomas Jefferson. Secretary James Madison. James Monroe and Robert R.' Livingston. The t'nited States secured title to the Florida people (all colors)' by purchase in 1S1!*. The nominal price1 was $5,000,000. The consent of the' Florida people was not asked. James I Monroe was president in 1819; John I Quincy Adams was secretary of State. The T'nited States secured title to the New Mexico and California people (all colors) by purchase in 1848; nomi nal price, $18,230,000. They were not asked whether they consented to be governed by the United States. James K. Polk was in the White House in 1848 and Janies Buchanan was at the state department. Tn 1853 the United States secured title by purchase to the white folks and Indians living in what is now southern Arizona; price, $10,000, 000. They were not consulted in the transaction. Franklin Pierce was president in 1853, and William L. Marcy was secretary of state. In 1867 the United States secured title by pur chase to the Alaska people, paying $7,200,000. Their consent was taken for granted (if it was thought of at all) by President Andrew Johnson and Sec retary William H. Seward. To all these transactions—every one of them a “purchase of sovereignty”— the Senate of the United States was a party. All of them have been ap proved, ratified and confirmed by the people of the United States. Yet Mr. Bryan calmly tells his applauding "anti-imperialists” that the United States cannot acquire title in that way. The burning of that large distillery at Peoria, Illinois, last week, is the only encouragement that the Prohibi tionists have had thus far in the cam paign. In August. Oh, the boy that threw the snowball T In those happy days gone by! A high ball or a low ball! How I'd like to see him try The -kill I once upbraided! How I'd chuckle with delight! I would have him serenaded By the band 'most every night. When the mercury is spinning Up to ninety in the shade, Then his antics seem so winning 1 regret the fuss l made. Ilis pastime seems to tit me In these days of heat intense. And every time lit* Hit me 1 would give him fifty cents. —Washington Star. It was an off year for Brother Simp son's collection agency.

I A week more and the Maine political campaign will open with a boom that will be heard from Kittery to Mada waska. Lewiston Journal. Judge Peters said to his Bangor fellow citizens: "I love Bangor because it's temperate, toler ant, God-fearing, generous without the least bit of hypocrisy or sanctimoni ousness," and, bless your soul, that's why we all love Judge Peters. Capt. I’lmer Johnson of East 11a chias is exhibiting a one-cent piece of 1891 date, taken from the stomach of a codfish caught off the “shots," last week. Capt. Johnson and three other men who did the fishing threw their fish together and when they were be ing dressed next morning, the coin was found. Those who work in the sardine fac tory at Machiasport tell of an amusing display of ambition by a man who came to the factory with a team for fish pomace, last week, and was told that he could have all he could haul for a dollar. He shoveled pomace into that cart for an hour and might have been shoveling yet if the cart hail not collapsed under the load. He is now bewailing the folly of avarice. Mr. Hoy E. Dunn of Poland and Miss Eelle (i. Wright of Durham, were married on Thursday, at 10 A. M„ at the home of Dr. Wright, father of the bride, at South .West iiend, Durham.— Lewiston Journal. It is needless to say that all the con gratulations were to the effect that Roy had done right. Those perspiring performances by the Maine cities were all right so far as they went, but the true benefits of Old Home week came from the cjuiet reunions in the Mair;e villages and around the old hearthstones. Just wait till you hear about the Maine schools that receive new libraries and new en dowments and the Maine churches that are built over. You may not hear about how many mortgages on the old farms are paid off hy those who havej their hearts stirred once again by the old scenes, but the mortgages will be paid just the same. Roston Journal: Any one who saivi Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain in the Old Home Day parade in Portland, must have been impressed bv his ap pearance. He was every inch the ideal veteran. Hair and moustache snow white, complexion clear and ruddy, eye :is bright ns an eagle's, hear! lmrn« erect, he was the most attractive feat ure in the line. Gen. Chamberlain is a man to whom many honors have come and he has deserved them and won them well. College President, Majoi General, Governor of the State o| Maine, he is an ideal example of what a man can be if he’s worth it. The Lewiston Sun tells this story oi the way dinners are ordered over in the Spindle City: One day, recently, a Lewiston man walked into a Main street meat market and said: “Jus't be. fore I left home my wife threw her arms about me and after giving me a good squeeze said ’get some of this for dinner;' now my good clerk can you guess what she wanted?” The clerk scratched his head, and winked at the bookkeeper and said: "pressed beef?" “Correct," replied the customer, and the course was soon forthcoming. Evi dently the clerk is a married man. VOICES QF THE PRESS. Slate Auditor. (Northern Leader.) The Leader has observed with great satisfaction the hearty approval given to the action of the Republican State convention in regard to a State Audi tor. Espectallyis this the case from the fact that we served on the committee of resolutions, and heard all that Was said for and against the resolution, lie fore a unanimous decision was reached hy the committee in favor of submit ting it to the people for their approval. living fully aware of the prejudice that exists in the public mind against an increase in the number of salaried officers from a party standpoint, we were not at tirst disposed to look with favor upon it. liut upon a careful con sideration of the question, from a nun partisan business standpoint, we were surprised that action had been delayed so long, and but for the honesty and integrity of the Republican officials who have so long and faithfully served the State, the people would have long ere this seen the necessity, and de manded the change in organic law that would have called for the office and a competent officer to scrutinize their ac counts. And yet when we realize that these very men who have served the State would not for a moment carry on a business of one-tenth the amount, without a salaried officer whose duty would be to carefully scrutinize every bill before it received the proper ap proval to draw a dollar from the treas ury. Good business enterprise de mands the office, and the public duty, j of citizens without regard to party, do- mantis its most hearty and cordial sup- j port. It may be that the cry of re trenchment and reform will be raised against it, and that it will cost the Re- j publican party some votes, but if such j is the case we can afford to lose even I in a Presidential year, while support- I ing real and important reform, and j placing the great interest of the State upon a true and reliable basis, in place of losing votes, the Leader believes that '.here is sufficient business ability and sound judgment among the voters of Maine to increase our majority upon this very issue. OUR TRADE EDITION. Kind Words Spoken by Our Maine Exchanges. (Gardiner Independent.) When the Kennebec Journal under takestodo anything it does it all right, and its Old Home week spec ial trade edition issued Friday, is a good illustration of how the always readable and interest ing Capital City paper does it. Print ed on a fine super-calendered paper, its eight pages combine a model of artistic, typographical and journalistic art. It publishes with fine half-tone cuts sketches of the prominent busi ness houses of Augusta, Hallowel! and Gardiner, with biographical sketches of the proprietors, and is one of the best special editions of the many good ones that the enterprising Burleigh Flvnt have ever circulated. The Gardiner patrons of the trade edition of the Journal are greatly pleased with the special number. (Lewiston Journal.) The Kennebec Journal does .itself proud with eight pages of pictures, half-tone pictures, on super-calendered paper and all on a Friday morning. All the leading business and profes sional men of Augusta and Gardiner, look out from the columns to greet Old Home weekers. (Biddeford Journal.) The Kennebec Journal's supplement. Friday, was a creditable bit of work. Kightpagesofhalf-tone portraits of th business and professional men of Au gusta and Gardiner, with illustrations of buildings and business plants, all on super-calendered paper, will be a valu able souvenir for Old Home week visit ors.
