The McAdoo Tunnel Fire Damage Amounts to $50,000. New York, April —Fire caused by a spark from one of the boiler rooms in the excavation for the McAdoo tunnel terminal at Dey, Fulton and Church streets, early today, did damage esti mated at $50,000 and a delay of 30 days in the completion of the work on the huge terminal buildings will result. Fi-e men were inured during the pro gress of the fire by being caught in one of the deep caissons, two of them so severely that it was nfeessary to take them to a hospital. Those severe ly inured ore John O'Hara and Kdward Murphy, both tunnel workers. The lire started on a high wooden structure and used to support a hoist ing engine. By the time the firemen arrived, the shower of sparks from the burning boiler house had set fire to a dozen other boiler houses and similar structures in the excavation. These to gether with several big derricks were badly burned, and the temporary wood en flooring over the surface of Bey street covering the excavation was ruined. There were many thrilling rescues and several instances of personal brav ery during the lire. Beep down under the ground in the 100 and more cais sons which are being sunk for the foundations of the big terminal build ings to rest upon, were between five and six hundred men at work. Mi hen It was seen that there was aanger of the lire spreading to all the engine houses south of Bey street, shutting off the supply of air, the pressure of which enabled the men to work under ground and the withdrawal of which would mean serious danger if not death, to many of them, the danger signal was gi'-en and the buckets lowered into the caissons to bring the tunnel workers to the surface. Abound some of the derricks used to lower and hoist the buckets, the flames raged fiercely and in two in stances the men in charge of the don key hoisting engines lost their nerve anl deserted their posts, leaving t.ie m* n SO feet beneath the surface of the ground to their fate. The deserted hoists were quickly re manned by volunteers, however, and the new men stuck to their posts with tiie llames roaring around them until the last one of the tunnel workers was brought up to safety.

He went hack to Iiis cell in the Tombs with a light in art and declared later to his counsel that h* felt the expected be foie the week ended. Tit* re is little or no likelihood that the* report f the commission which has inquired into Thaw's present mental state will ever tie made public.

Bryce spoke on "Some I,tssons in Modern Democracy as It Is in Switzei Mod. He said that the Swiss had avoided til dangers which annually beset Demo cratic: countries by reason of its pov ert y. With respect to Canada, he feared that the country was destined by na ture to be ric h and would have to count on feeling the drawbacks which accom panied grout wealth. For that, reason there was all the more need of culti vating the virtues which led to good government. Mr. Gold win Smith in a short address, declared that the plan of having a British representative at Washington who familiarized himself with the needs and interests of Canada, was bet ter than sending a Canadian across to the capital of the I'nite 1 States, as had been proposed. Mr. Bryce, lie was sure, would do his best for Canada at Washington and his best would be the best that could be done. In replying to the motion. Mr. Bryce declined to commit himself as to the course he should follow with regard to Canadian affairs, hut he insisted that the feeling that Croat Britain had ig norecj Canada's interests in former negotiations, was entirely incorrect.

Daily Kennebec Journal ESTABLISHED 1825 No notice whatever will b« taken of unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsible for the preservation or return of re jected communications. Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH A FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, April 4, 1907. Jamaica now has a new governor, lion. Sydney Olivier by name, and there is every reason to believe that he tv*11 keep constantly In mind the les son of the Swettenham incident. The simplified spelling board an nounces that it is going to enter upon a new campaign in the immediate fu ture, but it seems to be the general opinion that the biggest job before it is to prevent the world from forgetting and ignoring its existence. The present fiscal year is now three fourths over and it is announced that the treasury surplus at the present time is over $51,000,000 as compared v itli 50,000,000 a year ago. The surplus for tlie month of March just closed •was nearly $11,000,000. Boston is losing prestige in various ■Ways of lute. According to the official figures St. Louis lias just passed it in population and now New Orleans lias crowded it out of second place in for eign commerce which it lias occupied for generations. It is not that Box ton lias stopped growing or that its foreign trade is decreasing, but oilier cities are growing faster in population and trade. In the meantime Boston continues to hold first place in beans and culture. The Connecticut legislators now in session have adopted tile mountain laurel as the state emblem of Con necticut, but this does not mean that the people generally will refer to it in tlie future as the Laurel State rather than as the Wooden Nutmeg State. Tile mountain laurel, hy the way. is by no means as common in Connecticut as it is in tlie mountain regions of the Virginias and tlie- Carolinas. Never theless, it grows plentifully in parts of Connecticut where the common name lor it is tlie “calico bush.” Baltimore is getting right down to bu incss on that scheme to have an ex position in mi to celebrate the cen tennial of the writing of tlie- “Star Spangled Banner." It lias a publicity committee already busy telling the newspapers of tin* country about the proposed exposition. It is going to be a ten million dollar affair and they are going to call it (lie “Banner exposition of tie- Banner Century." Tim first suggestion of tlie exposition was made by Central Kelix Angus, the editor and publisher ol the Baltimore American in which the "Star Spangled Banner" was first published from Key’s manu script. The Maine wilderness will lie only a name ami a memory if all those rail road building plans are carried out as indicated by the charters granted at the recent session of the Legislature. Three roads, the Hunger and Aroos took. the Somerset and the Kutnford Falls, received authority to extend their lines northward through the great woods to the Canadian borders. Probably these extensions "ill not all be built this year or next, but there is cverv reason to believe that they "ill be built in the near future and the ef fect of this building of hundreds of miles of new railroad in Aroostook. Piscataquis, Soinerest and Franklin counties not only means the develop ment of great forest wealth but also the opennig up of vast farming regions and tourist sections. Industrially these new railroads will mean a great ileal to Maine and coming develop ments will be watched with widespread interest. Congressman Lialzrll. win. has just return from a trip to Panama lias been made an optimist of the optimists by a personal inspection of the worT now being done in the canal zone. “I do not believe a single member of of Congress was on that trip returned with tile slighest doubt of the feasibility of the canal project.” he says. "They all returned enthusiastic, and believing this great work will be completed with in a shorter period of time than has been estimated. The work is going for ward very satisfactorily. The system is perfect. Every department has Its responsible head and. so far as we could judge, these heads are all com petent men. I think there will bo no hesitation upon the part of Congress to grant such appropriations for the the work as are requested. All the memliers wanted to be assured of was that the money spent down there is be ing used properly and that the country is getting the value of every dollar. Those who have visited the canal ..one and inspected the work are convinced that is the ease.” Secretary Taft to Visit Cuba. Cuba is doubtless justified in looking upon the visit of Secretary Taft as of the utmost importance to itself. He goes there of course as the representa tive of the government which as a re sult of Cuba's demonstration of its unfitness for self government, is man aging the affairs of that island, and it is not too much to sa$r that its whole future may depend upon the conclu sions which Secretary Taft reaches as a result of his observations. Things are very much unsettled in Cuba. This has bion a chronic state of af fairs in that Island for generations and centuries and the expulsion of the Spaniards by our soldiers and sailors in 1H9S. instead of ‘bringing immediate and permanent peace, simply opened the way for a new series of complicated problems. Most of tne Cuban property owners, resident and non-resident, have hoped to see the island permanently under American control. A large part of the population, however, has small property interests at stake. and through hunger for political spoils rather than through patriotic motives have wanted our Hag withdrawn and the island left to run its own affairs. Its first attempt to do this was an ig nominious failure and American inter vention was necessary for the island's own welfare and for the protection of American anil foreign interests. Now comes the question, shall American occupation be made perma nent or shall the island be given one more attempt to manage its own af fairs? The answer to this question depends largely upon the observations of Secretary Taft. The Cubans real ize this and doubtless the Secretary of War realizes it also. He goes to Cuba with his mind entirely open to the truth and lie can be depended upon to employ all available means to ascer tain the exact truth and the whole truth. The Higher Telegraph Rates, Probably the. t o great telegraph i ompanics of the country ilo not want to encourage any movement toward go\eminent ownership of our telegraph system.*, but they certainly give a de cided impetus to such a movement when they raise the telegraph rates on the pretext that the raise is made nec essary as the result ol' increased pay Jo their employees. These telegraph com panies are trying to have the public believ" that the increasing density of the population, the great growth of business, and the multiplication of im proved mechanical devices all count tor nothing, and tuat because they are going to pay some of their employees 10 per cent more than formerly they must raise their rates on long distance mes sages from 33 to (iti per cent! To the public tins contention appears ahsur-l and tile increase in rates seems prodi gious and exorbitant. Hut tlte public of course is liclplos, since the two gtcat companies have ap parently oolcd their Intelests. and there is no competition to make rate lower, in recent years we ha'e set a telephone rates cut down to a great ex tent and passenger rates and freight rates on most railroads are much cheaper than they used to be. .Many millions more people use tile telephone and the railroads than used to; ami these people are closer to gether. Exactly the same is true of tiie telegraph, but telegraph rates have remained practically the same for the past quarter of a century and now they go up instead of down. Moreover, telegraph companies do not have to renew their plants as railroads do, and arc not under such proportionate expenditure for eon t ruction ami maintenance. Evidently the big telegraph companies have de liberately decided to furnisit another strong argument for the public owner ship of public utilities. Republican Victories in the West. Tlic news of the latest elections in the Vt'est gives no evidence that the Repub lican tide of success is receding. For a doscii years now it lias he n rolling for ward anil sweeping everything 'before it and plainly it is still at its height. At the judicial elections in Michigan the Repttbliian majority is estimated at 75.000. almost tlie high water figure even in that sturdy Republican state, for Michigan has been carried by the Democrats but once in the past genera tion. that being in lS'JO when they elect ed their governor by a plurality of 11. 000. Hut it is in the western muni cipal elections that the Republican victories are most emphatic and signi lieant. The triumph of Husse over Dunne in Chicago is the occasion for rejoicing everywhere among the friends of good government and municipal prosperity. The Chicago campaign was one of the hardest fought municipal tights in the history of the country and tiie election of a Republican mayor and city govern ment is a matt-T for general congratu lation. Tiie business inen of Chicago were disgusted with the broken prom ises ot Mayor Dunne regarding the settlement of the city's great traction problem arid the best element of the city was turned against him by tiie una nimity with which the bad element rallied to his support. Then Hearst put his money and newspaper intluenee into the tight in favor of Dunne and this outside uiterlereiice from such a source doubtless helped the Republicans much more than it did the Democrats. la Kansas City also the Democratic mayor is suceeescil by a Republican, and in the once doubtful state of Mon tana where the party lines were close ly drawn and a heavy vote was polled the Republicans swept the state at the municipal elections.

The committee which went to Wash ington in the interests of Maine sar dine packers is able to report that the department has no desire to impose unnecessary hardships on their indus try. and as the packing season is so near at hand no new regulations will be formulated that would tend to cm I.liras;; the packers. They ill there fore be permitted to go ahead with this year’a pa k using the same brands and depurations of cans as heretofore. •At Maine ports the priee of lobsters lias dropped about 15 cents per pound during the past few days, but the wholesalers are now paying tile lobster cate:iers "0 cents each.

Usually the Lewiston school board takes the prize for being in hot water, but that distinction now seems to be long to the Biddeford board.

OLD AGE PENSIONS I Million Pounds to be Set Aside for the Purpose. Measure Would Help 2,000,000 Aged People. Has Been Long and Strongly Advo* eated by the Labor Party. Ijondon, April 3—It is stated that the Chancellor of the Kxohoquer will deal with the question of old age pensions when he lays his budget before the House of Commons this month. The provision of a great national pension scheme, such as was advocated by Charles Booth, would cost tens of mil lions of pounds every year, hut noth ing like this is contemplated immedi ately, and the foundation of the scheme will be laid by a grant to the very aged of a small weekly sum, which will probably be administered by j the poor law guardians. A sum of about a million pounds in the new budget will probably be devoted to this. State provision for the destitute in old age has been so often discussed, and has been so prominent on election platforms, that many members on both sales of the House are committed to the principle. Mr. Asquith is fortunate in being the first chancellor of recent years in the position to give practical consideration to the question. He holds office at a time of great' trade prosperity. A succession of for tuitous circumstances has left him with a splendid surplus, and in framing his budget for the coming financial year ho can estimate for approximately seven million pounds that will not be wanted for the everyday expenses of the nation. The most pressing claims on him are those of the aged poor and the harassed income-tax payer, who has been groaning for years under the shilling imposition. Mr. Asquith, however, committed himself some time ago to the pensions ideal. In Novem ber last, when a deputation wailed on him and the premier, the chancellor t, SO and over l.om.ooi These figures nre. or course, nmy op proximate, and cannot have any finality, because the population is al ways increasing, and the grant ot' a State pension would undoubtedly pro long many lives, and the cost would lire from year to year. A private member, W. IT. Lever, has introduced a measure in the House of Commons which alms at providing a pension for those over seventy-five in tile year 1!>08, for those over seventy in IOiiO, and for those over sixty-five in 1910. It has been stated that the Chancellor will allocate a million pounds towards (lie foundation of Ins old-age pension fund, and this may be confined to the very deserving persons over seventy-five. Working forward on these lines towards a general scheme, the Chancellor will need in a few years an annual stun of ten millions for old-age pensions. There is every indication that the revenue, even on the present narrow basis of taxation, will produce a ten million surplus in a few years. This, of course, depends on the supposition that political horizon continues as fair as at present, and that trade keeps on in creasing in the same high ratio. The subject of old-age pensions is one of the foremost in the programme of the labor party, and they are whole hearted in favor of the, universal pro posal. They declare, however, that if the project has to he carried through by instalments, a beginning should lie made with women. Widows over sixtv live are, It is urged, the most deserving class of the community. The Labor party also favor the pay ment of pensions to the deserving and the worthless alike, but the majority of social reformers are against the in clusion of the following: Those born outside the British Isles. Those who have lived abroad for several years. Those convicted of crimes. Those in receipt of more than 10s a week. There is to bo an underground rail way across busy, crowded Tokio. The distance is to be twelve miles, and the cost of construction will not be less than $62r>.000 a mile. The railway com pany will have $37.50(1,000 capital. A uniform fare of 2VJ tents will produce a dividend of 8 per cent, for the share holders. The Electric Tractton Com pany of Tol:io, plans to add sixty miles to Its system. Classified Ads.

Railway, was taken suddenly iH on his car yesterday noon on the State House and Hospital route, and was so affected that he had to be tak en to his home on Chapel street. The many Augusta friends of Supt. James K. Mcllroy of the Winthrop Mills Co., who is very ill with heart trouble at his home in that town, will be gratified to learn that he was re ported yesterday morning to be a little better. Next Monday evening Unity Club will hold its meeting at the Unitarian parlors and the members will have the privilege of inviting their friends to en joy the program with them. Each member may invite three friends. The program of the meeting will be an nounced later. Cne victim of the bottle was ar raigned before Judge Andrews at the municipal court room yesterday morn ing. but as he claimed to belong in Watorville and had in his jeans a ticker for that city he was allowed to go in order that he might catch the first train for up river. One of the annual spring industries has started in this week and that Is the sucker fishery at the lower end of the Purinton wharf. The weather of the past two days has been a trifle cool for the comfort of the fishermen, but the fish are said to be plenty and a warm day or two will make business lively on the wharf. George M. Coombs of the firm of Coombs Gibbs, Lewiston architects, was at the Court house Wednesday morning in conference with the county commissioners. He submitted draw ings of the proposed addition and al terations to the building. The details are not settled as yet, but it is known that the addition will fill a long felt want. The advent of another as sociate justice of the Supreme Judicial court would have seriously complicated an already serious situation as regards quarters, if the addition had not been decided upon. It was announced by E. E. Xewbert Wednesday morning that the newly or ganized corporation of Newbert Noyes would re-open the brickyard on the liond Brook road within a short time ar.d run it to its full capacity during the coming season. The plant v. ill be equipped with two modern brick machines with a capacity of 1,200,000 bricks for the season and will have all the other modern appliances necessary to do business on a large scale. This will revive an old and valuable indus try and will be welcomed to Augusta's new prosperity list. The Augusta Lumber Co. received a hoisting engine, yesterday and had it hauled over on the east side of the river where it will be used later in tak ing down the logs which were piled on the shore north of the mill last fall. The engine will be set tip next Mon day and it is likely that the work of pulling down the piles will commence by the middle of the week. A crew of men was at work yesterday string ing a boom from the point near the head of the island down along the shore to the mill to hold the logs when the time comes for putting them into the water. It is expected now that the mill will be started up Monday. April 15. Albert Hayes, of Sussex, X. I?., and John Daley of Houlton. who had been arrested by 1'nitod States Deputy Marshal Hasty on a charge of violating the customs laws by smuggling in toxicating liquors from Canadian ter n-cry into the United States, were ar raigned before United States Commis sioner Burleigh at 9 o’clock yesterday morning. Hayes pleaded guilty and was held in the sum of $.7)0 for appear ance at the April term of the United States circuit court at Portland. Daley entered a plea of not guilty and waived examination, but on probable cause being found he was held in the sum of $500 for appearance at the term of court above mentioned. Vic tor E. Peters of Bridgewater and Harry E. Peters of Montlcello. deputy collectors of customs, were present as witnesses. Both Hayes and Daley were committed to Kennebec jail to await the sitting of the court. George L. Weeks, who was recently appointed special agent for the ex termination of the brown-tail moths in the city, has entered upon his labors and reports that he found several of the nests Tuesday on the east side of the river. M. S. Campbell, steward and treasurer at the Insane hospital, reports that his men found a number of the nests in the hospital orchard, and there seems to be no doubt that Au gusta has become infested with the pest, though the nests found thus far indicated that they are isolated rather than in colonies. People should take special pains to make an examination of their orchards at once, for with the coming of the first signs of foliage on the trees the little caterpillars in the nests become active, and by al lowing a single nest to remain on a tree there will be turned loose on that tree within a few weeks from 250 to 500 of these caterpillars. Agent eeks is sending out his notices to the property owners of the city and it is a warning that should not be passed unheeded. The destruction of the nests before (lie snow goes means the saving of tae foliage Of the city trees and the trees themselves. Ask for Profit Sharing Stamps. We Share Our Profits With Our Customers.

Higgins Shows That He Has Makings of a Man. A somewhat extraordinary case is that of Eli S. Higgins, a young man who be fore Judge Putnam in the United States circuit court this morning appeared bn his previous recognizance and recognized again in the sum of $1000 for his p« rsonal appearance at the September term of th" circuit court to answer to the charge of forging a United States pension cheek. Almost a year, ago Higgins, whose home is in Oakland, was indicted for forging his grandmother's name to a pension cheek. When the young man was arraigned in court he pleaded hard to be allowed to go on his personal re cognizance, claiming that he had a job offered him by his brother, who was su perintendent of an electrical plant in. Massachusetts. Judge Putnam decided to try him. and the United States officers have had very favorable reports from him ever since. lit. seems that the confi dence in him was not misplaced, for to day he appeared promptly at the sched uled hour to answer to the charge, and the rase was continued until September. It seems to have boon a case where "an other chance" proved the making of ntv man.—Portland Express, April 2. A Communication. Editors Kennebec Journal: Much has been said the past winter about the inadequacy of hotel ac commodation in Augusta and the ex cessive charges at some of the hotels for same. The State Department of the Grand Army of the Republic is to hold its encampment at Bangor in June and I want to quote here the rates as offered by the hotels of that city: “Bangor House, $2.00 per day for rooms without bath, three er more in a room: $2.fi0 per day for best rooms without bath, two in a room; $3.00 per day for best rooms with bath, two in a room; $2.00 per day for man and wife, room without bath, fair rooms, limited number: $2.00 per day for man and wife, room with bath, limited number; single rooms, double rates less one dollar.” The Penobscot Exchange gives some rates. “Windsor Hotel $2.00 per day double, $2.25 per day single. $2.50 per day double with bath, $3.00 per day single with bath.” Alpha Hotel $1.50 per day. Grand Army men are supposed to get reduced rates and I leave it to the reader to infer what the ordinary every day rates may be The National body of the G. A. R. is to meet at Saratoga in September and the following rates are given for accommodation there. “No rate for board and lodging. American plan, in excess of $1.00 per day shall he charged, except when bath room is dc-! sired when one dollar extra will he I added; contract will be for four full! days not less than two in a room." Lodging. European plan, can be had as low as 50 cents per night and meals at restaurants for 25 cents up. Suites of rooms are quoted not to exceed $15.00 per day. Verily the Grand Army man must have money to be able to pay $20.00 for four days' entertainment. AN EX-SOLDIER.

Local Stars Have Lively Time At the Opera House. The amateurs held the boards at the Opera house Inst Might and proved to be all that was advertised. Some of the artists were rewarded with ap plause, some with hisses and others with more substantial tokens, such as lemons, and other fruit. Two little girls, Miss Rush and Miss Knowles sang very sweetly and were awarded the first prize by the man agement. The next number was a dancing contest between two local stars. The first was well received, but the second didn’t seem to please and was given enough lemons to start a fruit store. They were not handed to lam over the footlights by an usher, as is usual with gifts of appreciation. They were sent direct, the usher’s ser vices being dispensed with. A young man was announced as being about to give a correct imitation of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Ilydc,” but iri his second spasm lie caught his toe in the scenery and fell on a bottle which he held in his left hand, cutting that member quite severely. His act terminated at that point. The next act was a feat of strength. The hero put both feet in the air and walked across the slagc on his hands, then walked back again, lie repeated the performance and then walked off into the wings. The last aet was pantomime. Per haps it was not meant to be, but it was just the same. A young ntan, evi dently well known to the members of the audience, stepped a few feet from tiie wings and went through the mo tions of whistling. So did all thc.; now 29c.
