New York, Marh 25.—Wimerding, Mor ris Mitohell, auctioneers, 66 White street, sold today under orders of the Westbrook jfanufacturing Company, nearly 4,000,000 yards of dress ginghams. There were 800 cases and 2200 yards to the case, divided into 1194 lots. Accord ing to the auctioneers the prices ruled low, an average rate of four oents per yard being realized. Competent judges consider the prices liberal as compared with the quoted figure of the manufacturers. The goods are of staple design, in light and dark work. The onnditlons of the sale gave four months’ time from April 1, or a dis count at the rate of six per cent per an nual for cash. A large quantity of the goods will go south. Among the buyers were representatives of Mllliken, Cousens Short of Portland. Pennsylvania Politicians Charged With Fraud. Pittsburg, Pa., March 25.—County Controller James A. Grier, today filed in the oommon pleas court a sworn state ment in whloh he makes sensational charges against C. L. Magee, Senator Win. Flinn, Director of Publio Safety J. O. Brown and County Treasurer W. S. Brown. All the statements bear upon the fraud ulent use of tax receipts. Mr. Magee is oharged with having used a dummy to get the printing contract. It is alleged that the receipts furnished were far below the sample submitted to the county commissioners. The controller charges Flinn and Director Brown with attempting to obtain exoneration from taxes where the taxes were paid by the Republican commissioners, and charges County Treasurer Brown with intending to give credit to the Republican com missioners, but was warned not to do so. A Lime Schooner On Fire. Boston, Maroh 25.—The Thomaston sohooner Lottie. Thomaston, Me., for New York with lime, out into port Tues day night, leaking. At 2 p. m. Tuesday she sprang a sudden leak and made water at about 200 strokes per hour. The en tire orew of six men'began pumping and Captain Brown headed for Boston. Shortly after coming to anchor on South Boston flats, it was discovered that the water had gained acoess to the lime, set ting is on fire. The vessel was sealed up, but it was found almost impossible to make her air tight, as she is old. A heavy wind was blowing, whioh seemed to reaoh through the vessel’s seams. She will be hauled in deeper water. Captain Brown thinks there is little hope of sav ng hei. She owned by J. A. Creighton, Thomaston. Used Detectives As Cat’s Paws. Paris, Maroh 25.—The trial of Dupas and Boyers, formerly officials of the de teotive service, oharged with selling pro fessional secrots, and failing to arrest Emile Arton in connection with the Pan ama frauds, when the latter was in Ven ice, in defiance of orders to take him into custody, ended today in the aquitcal of both defendants. The defense set up against the argument, that the govern ment had not wished Arton to be arrest ed despite the orders issued for his ap prehension, and the trial of Dupas and Royers was merely an attempt on the part of the authorities to make the weak suffer for the strong. Blackmailed Lebaudy. Paris, March 25.—The trial of Ulric De Clvery.editor of “Echo do L’Armee;” Armand Rosenthal, (Jacques St. Cere,) foreign editor of the Figaro and Paris correspondent of the New York Herald; Count De Cesti, and others, upon charges of blaokmaiiing the late Max Lebaudy, the millionaire SDendtbirft, ended today in the conviction of Civry and Cesti, who were sentenoed to 13 months’ im prisonment aud fined 500 francs each. The other defendants were acquitted. The Anglo-Itallan Alliance. Rome, Maroh 25.—In the Senate today Baron Blanoe, ex-minister of foreign affairs, affirmed that the allianoe be tween Great Britain and Italy was an accomplished fact. The alliance had been concluded, the minister said, under the threat of the abandonment of Kassala by the Italians. To the Keecus of Italians. Rome, March 25.—Advices from Masso wah state that Gen. Baldiserra, com raander-ln-chief of the Italian forces in Abyssinia, has started from Asmara with a strong force. The object of the expedition is, if possible, to liberate the Italian garrison at Adigrat. Vermont Bankers Against Free Silver. p Montpelier, Vt., Maroh 25.—About fifty Vermont bankers organized a state bank ers' association today and adopted resolu tions denouncing the free ooinage of sil ver aud bimetallism, except where the fixed ratio between gold and sliver is fixed by national agreement. The Caroline Floated. Boston, Maroh 25.—The sohooner Caro line, Boston for Milbridge, Me., driven on East Gloucester Beach Friday, was floated yesterday and is as Gloucester. She sustained no damage. 3 A Connecticut Patricide. Rockville, Conn., Maroh 25.—Edward Rogers was arrested here tonight, oharged with the murder of his father, Timothy Parmalee at Cobalt. j APPROPRIATION.' Bill Discussed In House Committee of the Whole. ALL BUT PARAGRAPH RELATING TO NEW SHIPS DISPOSED OF. The Naval Observatory Came Up and Caused a Little Breeze—Mr Cannon Doesn’t {Want to Be Lectured By Mr. Boutelle, He Said, Washington, March 25.—In the Sonata today, Mr. Gallinger introduced a joint resolution for the amendment to the Con stitution and asked that it lio on the table for the present. It provides that neither Congress nor any state shall pass any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,nor shall uso the property or credit of the United States or of any state, or any money raised by tax ation, for the purpose of founding, main taining, or aiding any ohurch or relig ious denomination or religious society, or any institution that is wholly or in part, under sectarian control. A resolution was offered by Mr. Platt of Connecticut and referred to the com mittee on appropriations for a final ad journment of the present session on the seoond dsy of May. In introducing the resolution Mr. Platt said he thought it time that the matter should be considered. The seotion fixing the salaries of the United States district attorneys oooupied attention several hours. The Sonate ap nrnnriatJrin rnmmitbn hnrl in cr»rr>r» nni*. tioular cases, reported in favor of increas ing the rates fixed in the House bill; in other cases amendments were offered by individual Senators to iuorease them. Mr. George, Democrat of Mississmpi, read a paragraph from the Constitution of Vermont declaring “that whenever public office beoomes so profitable as to oooaeion men to apply for it, tho profits ought to be lessened by the legislature.” That sentence, he said, ought to he print ed in letters of gold and hung up in every legislative hall in the country. He com pared the salaries of governors and at torneys of various states, with those pro vided iu the bill for the United States attorneys, the latter being uniformly larger than the former. When some sug gestions were made of a oharaote r unsat isfactory to him, he exclaimed contemp tuously “Bosh,” and protested against fun being made of a matter that in creased the BURDENS OF THE PEOPLE. Finally all the ohanges proposed by the oommittee were agreod to as well as somo other increases proposed by individual Senators. The paragraph giving the attorney gen eral of the United States authority to al low marshals to employ clerical assistants and fix their compensation, was opposed by Mr. Allen, on the ground that it was turning over the duties or the legislative branch of the government to the execu tive department. Mr. Hoar, Republioan of Massaohu setts, chairman of the judioiary commit tee, which had considered this part of tho bill, ridiculed Mr. Alien’s argument.and said to act upon it would be to make Congress the laughing stock of mankind. If Congress could not trust the attorney general with the duty of saying how many olerioal assistants a marshal should have, and what their compensation should be, the Republioan government, he thought, should shut up shop, and had better apply to the Emperor of Russia or the head of some Populist club, and take him for despot. Mr. Allen replied to Mr. Hoar in the same tono, saying that the only sensible remark of the Massachusetts Senator was that about applying to somo Populist olub, for information as to the oourse to be adopted In running tho government. Mr. Allen’s motion to strike out the paragraph was rejected. Without final action on the bill, the Senate went into exeoutivo session and soon afterward adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. The House in the oommittee of the whole today, considered the naval ap propriation bill. Mr. Boutelle explained the provisions of the bill, and gave a his tory of the construction of the new navy. He said the flag of the country has been restored to the sea, that, ship for ship, the navy of the United States was the best that floated. (Applause.) Mr. Cummings, Democrat of Now York said the bill was as economical as any brought before the House. Extension of thu navy was only one fifth of the new workjentered upon by the British admir alty. He believed it was the duty of Congress to maintain the present ratio aateenj navy of the United States nnrl ftinf r\f livanh ’Rwifovn T»■» imarmnan to a question by Mr. Dinlge.v, Mr. Bou telle stated that the total oast of the new work authorized in tho bill would proba bly be $22,865,000. Mr. Bow, Republican of New York, argued in favor of the extension of the navy and the general debate on the bill was closed. On motion of Mr. Cummings an item of $60,000 was inserted to build quay and wind walls for the dry dookat the Brook lyn navy yard. A little breeze was WORKS i In curing torturing, disfiguring, hu miliating humours of the Skin, Scalp, and Blood when all else fails. Bold throughout the world. British Depot: F. Nsw *ebt Sons, 1, Kin» Edward-st., London. Potts* Sjuvq ahv Chsic. Cobp., Bole Props., Boston, U. 8. A. evoked by Mr. Cannon, Republican of Illinois, who asked Mr. liuutelle if he could tell when the work would be com pleted of building the palatial quarters lor the officers detained to build the mis callod naval observatory, when they don't know ANY MORE OP ASTRONOMY than the average member of Congress. He said he hoped to live long enough to seo somebody with leisure enough to manage the matter and secure tiie legisla tion neoessary to transfer tho control of the observatory frorft tho Secretary of the Navy to scientific hands. When that was done, he believed the government would have quarters to rent. Mr. Cummings said that in two differ ent Congresses the question of transferr ing the observatory from the control of th Secretary of the Navy was raised by outside seientiflo inilnenoe, and the naval affairs committee, after earnest consideration in both cases unanimously voted against thfe change. Mr. Robinson, Republican of Pennsyl vania, defended the naval officers detailed at the naval observatory from imputation that they were not qualified for their po sitions. Mr. Cannon said that his intention was only to call attention to what be believed was a matter of mis-adininistration now. Ha would give it as bis judgment that the naval committee had no jurisdiction over the appropriation for completing quarters for observers and it should not be iu tho bill. Mr. Boutelle vigorously responded that the gentleman had set up his judgment against that of tho whole House on the mattor, and that ever since h« had been in tho House it had been committed to the committee on naval affairs. Ho enlo jgzed the spieutiflo ability and aoheive rnents of the naval offices. Air. Canon retorted with some heat that when be exercised bis right to ask a queston regarding tho appropriation, he did not propose to be lectured for it by the gentleman from Maine. Naval offi cers were fully educated in navigation and command of ships. “I want them to stick to their business,” he said. The schedule passed with no aotion. The House disposed of the bill with the eAWjniUii ux jjoa piuviuiu^ lux now shins. The committee arose and the House adjourned. WHAT PUR NAVY COSTS. Review of tlie Bill Presented By Mr. Bou telle to the House. Washington, Maroh 25.—The repoit of the House committee on naval affairs prepared by Chairman Bouteile, reviews he committee’s work in the preparation of the appropriation bill, reported yes terday. The report shows that under “inorease of navy,” the estimates for the next fiscal year called for $9,522,883 for oarrying on the work of construc tion of the hulls and machinery, armor and armament equipment of vessels heretofore authorized under this head. The committee added appropriations amounting to $3,256,250, for the work during the next fiscal year, in the con struction of four sea going battleships, and 15 torpedo boats, making a total ap propriation for the inorease of the navy of $12,779,133. The report states that this bill carries the largest authorization of tonnage and expenditures made in any year Bince the building of the new navy began. Four battleships and 16 torpedo boats which will aggregate about 45,600 tons, to cost exoiusive of armament, not exceeding $16,675,000. The report shows that the bill carries an increase of $2,468,438 over the amount carried by the last annual appropriation of $2,301,619 over the estimates sub mitted byfthe deparmentt. iThis increase is due to the number of items uuder thejgeneral establ'shmnt or pay of|the nuvy including $451,544 contingent, $20,000 of which is principally on aocount of the provisions for the enlistment of 1000 additional men. To provide for addit ional men enlisted during tho present fiscal year, $176,481 was appropriated in the act of Maroh 1, 1895. The estimates for the next fiscal year called for 378,025 more than the estimates of the year be fore, to provide $18,025 for variation in duty, pay of officers and pay of cadets, $360,000 for pay of 1000 additional men. An addition the Mil carries $250,000, which is estimated will suffloe to pay ad ditional men for the time of their prob able enlistmont and service. Maine Pensions.

Serious Charges Made Against Keeper of New Hampshire Jail. Portsmouth, N. H., March 26.—Prison ers who have lately been released from the Rockingham county house of cor rection at Brentwood, make ohnrges against Superintendent Dimond and the officials in chargo of that institution. Ephraim Packer of Greenland, a late inmate, ohnrges that he was kept nine days over time, and has brought suit to recover pay for that length of time. He also charges that prisoners were sent out during tho past winter on the ice barefooted,or at best with their feet tied np in bagging, which the men prooured themselves. Ho also says that when a person died at tho farm the dead body if dumped lute a common ox cart and hauled off to any place for burial. WON’T GO TO ENGLAND. Sir Julian Paunceforte Has Several Matters Here. WHICH DEMAND HIS IMMEDIATE AND PERSONAL ATTENTION. British Government Makes Some More Changes In Venezuelan Bine Book— They Do Not Affect Part to Which Commission Attaches Most Importance —Lord Salisbury Thinks England’s Case Strengthened. Washington, March 25.—Momentary credence was given in England a day or two ago to the statement in the Birm ingham Post, that Sir Julian Panncefote was going to London to disouss Vene zuelan matters with Lord Salisbury. If there is any truth in the report, the Brit ish ambassador here is totally unaware of it. Those near him declare it absurd, in view of the faot that just at this moment numerous important negotiations between Great Britain and the United States are progressing in a way that makes oompulsory the presanee of Sir Julian Pauncefote In Washington. Among these questions is the o onven tion providing for the Behring sea claims commission, whioh has been befure the Senate for ratification for over a month. In this connection some embarrassment ooourred from the fact chat tho Senate in executive session authorized the changes in the convention as agreed upon by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian A UUUHOIUW, VUUbU JU IB tUlltDUUDU, ciu body inacourate yersionjof the quotedjpaa sages from the treaty of arbitration. Seorotary Olney recently appeared before the committee on foreign relations and, it is understood, asked that the original wording should be restored. Then there is the boundary convention for marking convenient points on the 41st meridan in Alaska, for whioh Con gress has appropriated $76,000, the under standing being that this work ought to be accomplished at the earliest pcssible moment.. In addition to these matters there is a general arbitration treaty, of which so muoh is hoard and so little de finitely known, and the Venezuelan limited arbitration which oooupies the serious attention of both governments. From none of these matters would it bo gossible for Lord Salisbury to withdraw ir Julian, even temporarily, without injury to all the great interests affected. CORRECTIONS IN THE BLUE BOOK. British Government Makes Some Changes In the Original Document. London, Maroh 25.—A parliamentary paper was issued this afternoon entitled “Errata in Venezuela Blue Book.” The first emendation of the text of the Blue Book is of an extract from tho secret re ports on the dominions of the King of Spain in Amerioa addressed to the Span ish government (Page 5) whioh reads: “It appears that the Dutch settlement in Guiana extends from close to the riv ,er Amazon to the Orinoco.” This pas sage was amended to read: “It appears that the Dutoli settlement in Guiana are already extended from dose to the river Amazon, at least as far as the Pomeroon.” The errata withdraws tho version o£ tho Centurions report in 70, (Pagp 14, Blue Book,) and substitutes another, affirming that the reports sent home by tii3 Centurion, enclosed a declaration by the perfeot and three members of the Spanish missions to the effeot that the Spaniards not then, and never had any fort on Cuyuni. What the Dutch belioved were two forts in that neighborhood, were villages belonging to the missions of the northern bank of the Yuruari. The paper quotes parts of these decla rations from Audiencia de Caraoas, with letters and reports written in 1778. A note appended to the errata says: “Extracts from the documents cited in preliminary statement, of which marginal references are therein given, but not printed, in the appendix, with other ex trats from Spanish and Dutoh documents bearing on the question, will be published in a supplementary paper.” Commission Is Studying Documents. Washington, March 25.—All oorreotions referred to in the parliamentary paper issued today in London, refer exclusive ly to the argument usually credited to air hrecierion t'oiiocK, -wmcn covers 54 pages of the British Blue Book, and do not affeot the remaining 401 pages, to which the Venezuelan commission at taches most importance. Lord Salisbury thinks the corrections materially strengthen the British side of tho ques tion. Prof. Pollook’s argument, while con sidered to be an able advocacy of tho British contention as supported by evi dence in the Blue Book, has not the same conclusiveness attached to it in Washing ton as in London. The Venezuelans com mission awaits with more interest, the promisod additions to the evidence, to be furnished in a supplementary paper. The commission is dovoting all its time to the study of documentary evidence and does not not dwoil much on opinions, from whatever source they may come. The Trial of Dr. Jim. London, March 25.—The examination of Dr. Jameosn and his officers was re sumed in tho Bow stieet polioo court this morning. The postmaster ut Mafeking was called to the witness stand and de scribed how the telegraph wires were cut behind Jamson’s expedition. The Vermont Central Case, Hartford, March 25.—Judge Shipman in the United States circuit court for the distriot of Connecticut today ordered tho oourt to take anolllary jurisdiction with the United States circuit court lor the district of Vermont, in the suit of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, against the Central Vermont railroad. He has confirmed the appoint ment of Charles M. Hays’and K.C. Smith us leceivers of tho defendant oompany, appointed by Judge Wheeler in the Ver mont distriot. Connecticut Merchants Sued. New York, Maroh 25.—Judgments ag gregating *56(5,331 were filed in the su preme court, today by the attorneys of tho First National Bank of Rockville, Conn., Danvilles National Bank, Tren ton Banking Company, Marine National Bank of Erie, Pa., and other banking institutions, which claim tho above amount is duo on promissory notes against Waterbury and Marshall, dealers in cordage and pnper, In this oity. They are also in tho cotton and commission business. A CABLE TO JAPAN. Seuate Foreign Relations Committee Dis cuss Such a Project, Washington, Maroh 25.—The Senate committee on foreign relations this mornS ing, discussed the project for the con struction of o able to Japan by way of Hawaii, briefly and set apart Wednesday as the^day'for the: Anal disposition of tho subject. A bill was drafted embodying the host features of the two measures before the eommittee. It will be left for Wednesday to determine whioh com pany shalljbe named in the measure. A number of minor matters were dis posed of thi3 morning, among them a bill permitting ox-President Harrison to receive oertain medals presented him while President, by the governments of Brazil and Spain. These medals are now in the oustody of the State Department. Tho committee reported the bill unanimously. Mr. Shermansubsequent )y in tho Senate, asked for, the im mediate consideration of the meas ure, but under tho objection of Mr. Allen of Nebraska, it went over until tomor row. The Cuban Resolutions. Washington, Maroh 25.—After a session of three-quarters of an hour this after noon the conference on the Cuban reso lutions adjourned until tomorrow with out reaching a conclusion. The drift of tho dlsoussion showed that there Was a firm intention on the part of the oom mittee to report resolutions that would meet the approval of both Houses. There appeared a more favorablo feeling to ward the Senate resolutions this after noon, it having been made plain to the managers on too parr oi too Mouse mat the House resolutions could not pass tlie Senate. It is believed that ultimately the House will accept the Senate reso lutions. The conferees hope_to settle the matter finally tomorrow. When the matter of accepting the Sen ate resolutions was beiDg discussed, one moinber of the Committee took the ground that this government had no right to ask another government to recog nize the independence of one of its colonies in insurrection. It was insisted that this would be called casus belli. In answer to this it was shown that when the Cubans were in insnrreotion before, our minister to Spain, Qen. Sickles, was instructed to use his goodly offices to se cure such recognition at the hands of Spain, and Spain took no offense at the action. The condition of affairs in the Senate was disoussed. It was made plain that there was a small, but deter mined minority, headed by Senator Hale, that did not propose to permit the Cu ban resolutions to ever oome to a vote if they could prevent it. The committee on .foreign relations had been warned that a quiet, but effective system of filibustering bad been inaugurated with a view to preventing a vote on the question in tho Senate. For this reason the House conferees were urged to adopt the Senate resolutions which would re move the debate from the Senate to the House, where filibustering oould not, under the rules, be engaged in. Boston Club Against Silver, Boston, March 25,—The Boston Boot and Shoe olub held a dinner at. the Ex change club this evening at which “Fi nance, its bearing upon business,” was discussed by Hon. Wm.L. Trenholm, ex comptroller of the United States, Hon. S. V. White of New York and H. W. Peabody. The olub adopted resolutions declaring against free silver, and sup porting the President in his position on the money question. The Arkwright olnb, composed of the treasurers of the New England cotton mills and of managers of corporations, unanimously adopted a resolution that the money of the United States should bo solely, absolutely and unqualifiedly based upon a gold standard. In&ist’On Eight Hour Law. Indianapolis, March 25.—At today’s session of the cxeoutive council of the American federation of labor, the eight hour day matter was taken up, the sub committee recommending that the Car penters’ national union be selected to make tho first move toward the estab lishment of an eight-hour day. If em ployers do not come to terms with the members of all the uuious who work over time, a strike will be ordered. The strike, if it occurs, will be general, as the federation is determined to push the eight-hour movement unt il it be comes a permanent fixture. Watch Factory On Short Time, Waltham,Mass., Maroh 26.—Notice was posted in all departments of the watoh faotory today, stating that until further notice, tho faotory would be run but five days of the week. The officials itated that it is one in order to even up tho _; xu- ,i:a>_x .-i___x_ Flan for National Arbitration, Washington, March 25.—The Houso committee on labor today ordered a fav orable report on the hill of Mr. Krdman of Pennsylvania, providing for the settle ment of labor troubles by arbitration. Arbitration is not made compulsory, but tho deolsion of the administrative boards is made binding. The measure Is favored by labor organizations. A Norwegian Bark Asliore. Savannah, Ga.,Maroh 25.—The Norweg ian bark Erate, Goole, for Savannah, ran ashore last night about sevon miles south of Stiebe light, during a heavy blow, and is probably a total wreok. Her masts and rigging wore out away and the ves sel filled with water, The Captain and crew of eleven men oame ashore in boats and arrived at this point today. Boss Was a Million. Colon, Colombia, March 25.—The latest statement of the damage done by the fire here tho 23d shows 80 houses de stroyed. The loss is placed at $1,000, 000; insurance $200,000. BRIEFLY TOLD. In the Massachusetts Senate yesterday resolutions of respect to the memory of Governor Greonhalge were reported by tho committee, and were ordered to be placed first in order of tho day for today for adoption. The Conley woolen mills, run by C. J. Andrews at Wilton, N H., have shut down for an indefinite time, throwing 300 poople out of work. The mills were the most important industry of the town* SESATOR DAVIS'S FAILURE. Labor Organizations Defeated His Favorite Son Boom. M’KINLEY PEOPLE DON’T LIKE NEW YORK UTTERANCE. Eastern States Will be Solid For Gold Standard—Resolutions! Which Contrast Favorably With Ohio Platform—Senator Platt’s Reasons For Hoping For an Early Adjournment of Congress. Washington, March 25.—The failure of Senator Davis to seoure the delegates lrom his own state of Minnesota is said to be due to the faot that the labor organ izations have been fighting him, on ao count of the letter he wrote concerning the great railroad strike about two years ago which brought him into prominence at the time. There has been no doubt in the minds of any one here, about Senator Davis be ing a serious oandidate when he entered the field. Even the McKinley men, with all their antagonism against favorite sons, have been wiling to concede that ho was sincere in seeking the support of his state. While his withdrawal is conceded to be an event favorable to McKinley, the op ponents of the Ohio oandidate are not willing to ooncede that the McKinley boom has got too strong to be destroyed. The adoption of a gold standard plank in the New York convention, with the _.3-»< AT-_-.A _ important as to its bearing on McKin ley’s prospeots. It is expected that tho Pennsylavnia convention will adopt a similar Dlank on the financial question, and that this, together with similar ac tion in the New England States, will make strong the oontrast with the Ohio plank and raise an issue against MoKin ley. It is evident from what is said pri vately by some of McKinley’s friends, that they are not pleased with the New York expression. A great many Repub licans while seeking to avoid a public discussion of the question, are greatly concerned over the prospect of so ad vanced a position being taken by the Re publicans of the East. Many of those from the Western States which lie this side of the silver belt, express the opinion that a less distinct plank would better serve the party. The radical silver men, without excep tion express satisfaction at an open decla ration. They say that all the influence of the delegations from their respective states will be used to prevent the adoption of a straddle, and that, while fighting for silver, they will always oast their votes so as to secure an unequivocal declara tion, “one side or the other,” on this subject. When asked for his reasons for the in troduction of his resolution for the ad journment of Congress on May 2, Senator Platt replied that be had put in the reso lution, because he believed that Congress could complete all the business that it will be able to do by that time, jl ‘‘It is perfectly clear,” he said, “that there will be no important legislation during the session, except that which is em braced in the appropriation of bills, and there is no reason why those bills should not be disposed in the six weeks named by the resolution. Practically there are only five appropriation bills still to be considered in the House. They will not requite more than a month’s time,if thai much in the House, and the Senate ought to be able to finish up what will be lefi for it to do, two weeks after the Hous< is through. ‘‘The Senate committee on appropria tions is practically ready to report th< post office and Indian appropriation bills, whioh are the only bills now before it, and is well up with the House in the!) work. This being the case, we should begin to look to adjournment. “I see no reason for remaining her* merely for the purpose of introducing and talking upon agitation resolutions, and am persuaded that the country umn 1 rl nnrloi’ tho nii*nn m at«nho Hot-. ter satisfied to have us at home than t< have us here.” ^The Senator added that a large major! ty of the Senators favored an early ad journment, and that most of those wltl whom he had talked, thought it could he accomplished by the middle of May. REED AND ALLISON. Said to Have Formed an Alliance Agains McKinley. New York, March 35.—A Washlngtoi despatoh to the Sun says: Senator Lodge will go to Massachusetts to take oharge of Speaker Reed’s inter ests as a Presidential candidate at th Convention to meet on Friday. Senator Lodge, speaking as one o: those interested in Speaker Read’s oan dtdaoy for the nomination, admits tba the McKinley landslide has been a littl discouraging, but says that the McKinle; managers have made claims that canno be substantiated, and that beginDim with the present week the Reed men wil have their innings. He thinks that the only state in whlc] the McKinley movement has gained vote beyond what was oonoeeded to it is li Minnesota. AJoonforence of the friends of Reei and Allison was held in the room of th committee on rules last Saturday to tak steps to oheok the McKinley movemen and to agree upon a co-operative plan b; which tho Allison men will help the Reei men, and vice versa, and transfer th vote of one candidate solidly for the othe whenever the time arrives In conven tion that either can be nominated. Joseph H. Manley and Senators Al diroh and Chandler were there, as well as Senator Gear and Representative Hen derson of Iowa, representing Candidat Allison. It is understood that an often sive and defensive alliance was format between the Roed and Allison forces by which one or the other is to be nominat ed when tho break comes in tho conven tion, it it ever does.

Wo do not believe in the free coinage of silver at the ration of 16 to 1. We do not be lieve that the United States alone and unaided should bear the silver burdens of the world. We do not believe that tho debts contracted in gold should be paid in silver. The other speakers were Hon. r. Lu Noble, Samuel J. Elder, Rov. A. A. Berle and Forest C. Manchester. MR. SETTLE SATISFIED. McKinley Forces Were Routed in Nortb Carolina Says He. Washington, March 26.—Representative Settle, whose movements in North Caro lina have been a source of interesthis col* leagues in tho House, has returned in a remarkably happy mood. Said Mr. Settle to a reporter: “I see by the dispatches that the Mc Kinley managers carried everything thei way, and that the Reed forces were ro ut* ed. The faat is that the night before the state committee met the McKinley, Pritohard and Russell forces held a cail eus and drew up a series of resolution^ indorsing Mr. McKinley for the PresU denoy, Mr. Pritohard for re-eleotion to tiie Senate, and Mr. Russell for governor, and a number of other resolutions. These resolutions were all introduced at the meeting of the committee on the next) morning, and every one was knooked out.” McKinley Cheered In West Virginia. 5! Charleston, W.

His third wife, who was the daughter of the late James Haskell, and three sons and two daughters, all now living in Westbrook, survive him. Mr. Babb had spent the greater part of his life in the employment of the Westbrook Manufacturing Compa ny, having had charge of the weaving department for the past 35 years, until tailing health obliged him to resign it a few years ago. Mr. Babb had been in failing health for the past two years, but had not been confined to his house until the past winter. He was a member of the Congregational church, a 32d degree Mason, member of St. Albans’ Comman iery, K. T., and a member of Westbrook lodge, Knights of Pythias. In politics ho was a Kepublican. He was of a social nature, took great interest in his lodges and has probably attended more Masonic meetings than any other man from this city. He will be much missed by a largo circle of relatives and friends and by his entire community. Mr. Frank Maw went to Boston Wed nesday night whero he is in hopes to se oure a situation on some electric road.

The chief subject of discussion was furnished by the book entitled, “The Christ of To-Day,” by Bev. George A. Gordon, D. D., pastor of the Old South church in Boston. The book wa3 re viewed by Kev. John Carroll Pork ins. It was shown to be the work of a scholar, who hold* as his norm, “The Mind of Christ.” The author bases his belief on reason rather than revelation in its popu lar sense. With this norm he tests the higher eritio, the question of salvation, the doctrine of evolution and other q ues tions of tbe day, finding in eaoh case the highest truth in these modern move ments.

The 1806 Arrangement of the Dates of the Four Mile tracks at East Made. A Busy Season ensured—The Official Schedule Announced. Manager H. F.

The schedule as ar ranged gives these four mile traoks dates as follows: June Id-19—Mystio. Juno 28-20—Saugus. June 30-July 4—Rigby. July 7-10—Old Orchard. July 14-17—Mystio. July 21-81—Saugus.

Mr. Farnham Denies the Charge of Hav ing Made “Jug Handle Conditions”— ltlgby Knew Exactly What It Was Doing. The Breeder and Horseman, reoently published the followiug, and it has been oopied by many other journals. The artiole appeared with the heading “Jug Handle Conditions.” The managers of Rigby Park, Port land Me., have opened thirty-three stakes worth $52,500, for the two trotting meet ings to be held there next August and September. All of these stakes are to be held under the old conditions, reserving the right to declare oil at anv time anv event not filling satisfactory to theas soci ation. The New York Sun says evident ly the Maine managers are not familiar with the rules of the National Trotting Association as amended at the recent bi ennial congress or else they rely on the loose phraseology of the new turf code to let them out of an apparent predicament. One of tho provisions reoommended by the lule committee and adopted by tho congress is as .follows: In all purses three or more entries are required and two to start unless other wise specified. An association deviating from this rule must specify how many entries and starters are required and botn conditions must be fulfilled or the raoe is off. When this provision became a law in the trotting horse world everybody sup posed that the one-sided plan of tyeing strings to early-olosing events had been effectually done awav with, and tnat hereafter every association would be lorood to make known the exact number of entries required to fill its purses and stakes. It is noticeable, however, that the terms of the new rule app.y ouly to “purses/' no mention being made cf stakes. While nearly oil of the early clos ing events are virtually purses, aud are generally aavortised as such, they never theless come within the meaningless defi nition of “stakes” as laid down by the National Trotting Association, hence it may vyell he contended that the new rule has no application when the events are announced asp‘stakes.” This is tho case oi the Rigby events, and it is just possible that the down-East track managers know exactly what they are about in sticking to the jug-handle conditions which every body cise supposed were a thing of the past. Manager Farnham yesterday sent the following letter to the editor of the Breeder and Horseman: Editor Breeder and Horseman: Those “jug-JiaDdle conditions” alluded to in your issue of the 21st are a modified copy of a draft submitted to officials of the National Trotting Association for ap proval. Consequently the Rigby manage ment knew exactly what they were doing. Rigby does not want the earth and the fullness thereof, but would object to go ing on with a scries of early dosing stakes of $1000, far which but three nomi nations were received. Yours respectfully, RIGBY PARK MANAGEMENT. Dr. Moore's Trial Postponed. Nashua, N. H., March 25.—A hearing was held in the Supreme Court this loro noon in the ease of Hr. J. C.

Report of the Inspector*—Cumberland House of Correction Well Spoken of —Increase of Commitments for Debt Franklin County’s Single Drunk. Augusta, March 25.—The deductions of the Inspectors of jails from their work the past year are briefer than usual and they express but little oritlclsm. They say that many improvements in discipline and general management have been made in tho Androsooggin county jail. Not quite so much attention to oleanll ness is given in the Aroostook oounty jail as is desirable. The Portland jail is the only one in the state where the female prisoners are under tho immediate;superivsion and con trol of a matron. It is always neat,clean and well disciplined. The Franklin county jail is always in good oondition and never contains many prisoners. The Hancook oounty jail is in excel lent condition. The Kennebeo county jail, the inspec tors say, is one of the model jails. The Knox county jail is a comparative ly new one. The jail has not at all times presented quite as cleanly an appearance as it should. The Linocln county jail at WUcasset is but little used except for tramps. It has always been keDt in very good condition. Oxford county has erected a new jail at South Paris whioh will he ample for the needs of the county. The Penobscot jail lias been reoently iiupiu»DH ami uuuiuuyuiy J eilUVIUitill. The jail presents a very fine appearance. Somerset oounty has erected a new jail at Skowhegan the past summer, ample and convenient for its needs. The Waldo oounty jail at Belfast is well managed. It has been kept neat and clean, and is no longer filled with tramps. The vigorous methods adopted by the oounty commissioners nnd sheriff have been most satisfaotory in results. The Washington oounty jail at Maohias is one of the best managed in the state. The York oounty jail at Alfred is in very good condition. At a small expense it could be rendered much more oonven lent. I The following figures give an Idea of the business of the jails: COMMITMENTS BY COUNTIES. Sea £5 S ou, g gS 3S !?g fl h Ci k.

Tolman, was damaged by fire this after noon. Part of the contents were saved. Cause, defective chimney; small insur ance. A WEIGHTY ARGUMENT for the use of the Carlsbad Spru del Salt is that it goes to the root of the disease, while other remedies strike only at the disease. Notice the distinction. I*or instance Pills and purga tives which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and destroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels. A continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the stemkeh and bowels. The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is, therefore, highly recom mended because its action is due solely to its constitutional sol vent and stimulating properties, without irritating the stomach. Be sure to obtain the genuine. FLOODS IN THE ANTEPODES. Much Suffering and Loss of Life Reported* In Queensland. Victoria, B. C., March 25.—The details of terrible disaster by floods in Queens land, where many lives were lost, have reached here by the mail. The recent heavy rains and consequent floods in Queensland were, during Febu rary, tbe cause of many serious disasters that which occurred on the Brisband riv er on the afterncon of the 13th of that month being the most terrible. The Up per river being flooded caused a strong current in the wide portion near Bris bane. Immense logs and large masses of rubbish were borne down against'tho Vic toria bridge, and the authorities stopped traffic arranged for ferry service. One of the steamers, the Pearl, started from the north side of the rivor with about eighty passengers aboard, Two steamers were moored near the south side of the river when the Pearl started. On ap proaching one, the captain found he had steered too far up the river and touched the vessel in passing. Tbe eddy caught the ferry boat and slewed her broadside on against the anchor chains. The force of the collision out the small craft in two parts. She sank immediately. For a moment tbere were cries o f pershing men, women and children, but many were instantly carried down witn the un fortunate steamer. Between twenty and thirty succeeded in grasping the Lucin da's anchor chains, and wore saved by the crew of that vessel. The death roll includes thirty-seven names, with sever al still migsing. Floods are reported in many parts. At Rockhampton the river swept away hous es and barns, lives were lost, and large areas of crops were ruined. At Adelaide a furious gale lasting 24 hours, did great damage. Earthquakes follow the exces sive heat, cyclones and floods. SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OXFORD COUNTY. Solomon Sfarinfolrlt; r»+. tto Jodrie end trustee. Rescript by Walton, J.—The trustee in this case asserts positively and directly that there was nothing due from him to the principal defendant at the time of tho service of the trustee writ upon him. Some of his answers are indefinite as to the amounts of his payments to the prin cipal detendant. Also ns to the time when a final settlement was had between them But he asserts positively that such a settlement was had before the service of the trustee writ upon him,and that a bal ance was then found to be due from the prinoipal defendant to nim of $98, or thereabouts. And there is no evidence that contradicts him. The plaintiff called the orinoipal defendant as a wit ness; but he failed to obtain any contra dictory evidenoe from him. He corrobo rates the statement of the alleged trustee that a settlement was had between them, and that a balance was found to bo due from him to the trustee, and that this settlement was before the service of tho trustee writ. Upon the evidenco before ns, we fail to disoover any ground on which the trustee can rightfully be oharged. We think the entry must be, exceptions sustained, trustee discharged with oosts. SAGADAHOC COUNTY. James A. Winslow vs. Isaao B. Heed. Rescript by Walton, J.—Exceptions to a uompuslory lion suit. The presiding jus tice seems to have assumed that when land Is hounded on a private way, the same rule applies as when land is bound ed on a highway, anu that land so bound ed extends to tue center ot the way. This was erroneous. It is undoubtedly true that when land is bounded on a highway it extends to the center ot the way; but it is equally well settled in this state, whatever the rule may be elsewhere, that when land is bounded on a private way, it extends only to the side line cf the way.

The adjourned meeting of the Deerlng oity government was held last evening. Mayor Mitchell presided and the full board was present. The bill for widening Glenwood ave nue, was given its second reading. In awarding the damages to abuttors afiect ed by the widening, A. E. Marks was awarded *54. Mr. Marks objects to this award and appeared before the board by his counsel, W. H. Motley, Esq. Ho claimed that damages should be allowed at the rate of 13 cents per square foot. He said before this damage was awarded, his olient had arranged^for the sale of the property at this rate, whioh is now de pendent upon the amount of damages awarded. Ho asks *108 instead of *54. The aldermen listened to Mr. Motley and then passed the original bill. A communication was read from Judge Hopkins of the municipal court, calling attention to the fact that more suitable quarters bo provided by the oity for the municipal court,and asked for stationery and added facilities for the proper tran saction of the business of the court. The communication was plaoed on file. A request for the free use of City hall for the holding of a meeting to organize a board of trade, was grantee^. Very numerous petitions for several new street lights were referred to the ap propriate oommittees. Petitions for new sidewalks and sowers were similarly referred. J. H. Hutchins, J. H. Tibbetts, G.

Massachusetts Dog Fighters Arrested and Fined. Malden, Mass,. Maroh 35.—This morn ing about three o’olock the police descend ed upon a crowd that was witnessing a dog fight in an unoccupied building in Edgeworth and arrested forty-one of the gang after a hard fight. Several sports were injured and one man was found outsido the building after the row, with two bullets wounds in his body and the baok of his head crushed in. Several of those injured were quite badly hurt. The fight was between Boston an d Medford dogs for a $500 purse. The ma n who was shot was Daniel Monahan of Boston. The dogs were shot in the ring by the officers. In court this afternoon thirty-nine of the men arrested pleaded guilty and were lined $20 each.

When Are the Good Times Going to Begin? To the Editor of the Press: Since midsummer of 1893, at any rate, sinoe the repeal of the silver bullion pur chase Act, Nov, 1, 1893, this oouutry has been on as strictly a gold mono-metalio basis as England, brought to it, not so much by changes in our national legisla tion, ns by arbitrary executive authority, fully shown in the articles you have dons me the honor to print. How has the insano and reckless ex periment of tampering with monetary standards that prevailed in this country from its settlement to 1873, and in Europe since the beginning of history to the same period, affected the business, tho wealth, the prosperity and growth of the country? What positive advantages have we gained by not being willing to let well enough alone? What worse state of things was impending, which we have avoided? Bradstreet does not seem to be satisfied. This is his summing up of the situation cut from a late Portland PRESS: Building operations at some of the eastern ports are not as active as antici pated. Dealers in shoes south and west report trade slow. Eastern makers admit that ordors are increasing slowly. The cotton manufacturing iudustry is unsat isfactory, with slack demand and heavy stocks. The production is restricted fur ther and shut downs are talked of. Prints and ginghams are most active. Transactions iu raw wool are limited and market very dull. There is less business than at any previous time sinoe January 1. Iron and steel are quiet as in preced ing weeks and in some respects less favorably situated. Orders tor steel at Chicago have decreased, and the price is barely .steady. The demand for pig iron is the slowest since'January. Quotations at eastern markets are nominally unchanged and could probably be shaded on new business. No agree ment has boon reached on ore products for the 1896 delivery. The production of pig iron was restricted to about 40,000 tons during February. From all this, tho general trade situation throughout the country may he regarded as less satisfac tory at the middle of March, 1896, than was anticipated. Even prices of staples have refused to make and maintain ad vances. Among the decreases in quotations are those for flour, wheat, Indian corn, oats, lard, print cloths, steel and pig iron. Prices of wool, leather, coal, pork, sugar aro nominally unchanged. 1896 begins in the same dismal way as did 1895, and 1894. We are having our delightful regime of “a sound currency” and nobody that I hear of, seems to be wildly jubilant about it. Among recent events I notice that that solid old railway the Baltimore and Ohio, has passed into the hands of receivers. Are all the rest of them going the same way? One after the other they have yielded to the paralysis of industry, the sudden cessation in the movement of en terprising and wealth-producing popula tions In tho building up of new states, the lessened demand for our exportable staples by the exoessivo competition which under the high rates of exchange has suddenly grown up in silver-using countries. Bradstreet reports the great railroads that have defaulted their interests, the merchants and manufacturers that havo succumbed to a chronic bad state of the foreign and domestic markets, with the aggregate of their indebtedness, tho worthless stocks, bonds and other securi ties, of Western land, mining, irrigation, water,rail way and •lectrio companies made hopeless by tho arrested development of the oountry, that have been charged oS by the managers of eastern savings banks. But Bradstreet does not report, and no financial chronicle tells cf the thousands of men and women, who before 1898 were living respectably, on incomes derived from carefully selected invest ments, who have been obliged to seek for employments for which they had neither taste nor training, or to'throw them selves upon the charity of the public or of their friends—tragic stories with which private correspondence and the confi dences of friendship have been so full. WHAT WE HAVE WASTED. In oue of the sad moods to which he was constitutionally subject, President Linooln, in the agony of our great civil oonfliot, uttered the surmise, that per haps the war is destined to go on until every drop of blood drawn by tho lash from the victims of slavery shall be paid for by another drop drawn by the sword. Our terrible war was far more cru^l than his conjecture; and exacted vengeance ten fold, if not a hundred fold, for our offences against juetioe. And when this monetary madness has wrought its perfect work.it will he found that we have wantonly cancelled and de stroyed, not only the monetary value of tho silver coin, about four billions of dollars, but half of tho real wealth of tho world which that silver coin represents. It is not difficult to itemize the suras that make up this fearful aggregate of loss. Take our exported cotton orop from three to five years, that netted the pro ducer five cents instead of ton cents a pound; our corn and wheat crops sold abroad for the same period at prices that uiu mjf puy tuu Jiu-iiier warn 11 nau cose to raise them. Take the shrinkage in the saleable value of real estate, of ships and faotorles, toe depreciation in tho quota tion prices of all listed railway stocks, and securities in the properties of land, irrigation, and water companies; make an estimate of the enormous sums sunk in mining und town lot enterprises, too precarious to have figured even in tho stock list; oaiculate the fearful aggregate of lost interest and lost principal, of which only the sufferers hoid the painful history, and you will not come short oi this country’s share of what hns been madly wasted in trying to establish “a sound currency.” If we had burned all the buildings, sunk all the ships, and poisoned all the live stock in the United States, the oalamity would have been less oomplete, the recovery from it more rapid and easy. HAS ANYBODY PROFITED BY IT? If it had been a mere shifting of wealth from one hand to another, if Peter had been robbed for tho enrichment of Paul, if the streams of prosperity, chat have flowed away from certain ohannels of en terprise, had poured in accumulating floods into others, the balance might still have stood on the right side. Who have prospered by gathering up the waifs and wreoks of so much of the solid wealth of tho worldy Not the cap italists and money-lenders, as they will themselves confess. In this delusive chase after tho ignis fatus of a sound currency they have simply over-reaclicd tbemselve0. Mr. Gradgrind’s dollar, nominated in tho bond that he held, looked very small to him. He was assured by certain doc trinaires who had mastered the science oi finance, that if silver coins, that formed the cash basis of half the world’s wealth and Ohs actual circulating medium of 800,000,000 people—only 400,000,000 people using gold—could ho deprived of theii ftionetary value, as they could by adverse legislation, his dollar would be worth *1.85. Ho liked that; and went for it, Tho result so far is that while? fldgetting lest his dollar should be paid in silver worth only 75 cents, he has lost 50 cents on every dollar in his diminished inter est, and in debtors driven to bankruptcy, who can never pay him either interest or Srinoipal. “Better,” as Mr. Evelyn [ubbard puts it, “a silver debtor who pays you, than^a gold debtor who does not.” THE YELLOW MAN WITH THE WHITE METAL, versus THE WHITE MAN WITH THE YELLO W METAL. It was predicted by Alexander Baring, and other conservative financiers, that the effect on England of the demonetiza tion of sliver would be the ruin of her agriculture, the end of her manufactur ing monopoly, and the peril of having hor commercial and financial supremacy pass to some other nations. These logical results of her frantic policy were for years postponed by the maintenance of free coinage of silver in France, and the absorption by the open mints of India of all tho surplus silver of the Western na tions, and it was not till 1874, after France, Germany and the United States had stopped stiver coinage, and later, when the Indian mints were closed, that the legitimate consequences of a fatal policy began to show themselves. I have shown in previous articles how favorable rates of exchange due to silver demonetization have enabled Argentina to oompete successfully with us in the exportation of wheat, how cotton-yarn spinning has been transferred from Lan cashire to India and the Straits Settle ment, how railway enterprise and gen eral manufactures have been stimulated by the silver currency of Mexioo, and how little Japan has sent out her chal lenge to western Europe and America to undersell them in their own markets in every branoh of manufacturing produc tion. Now comes this wail from Dundee in Scotland, hitherto the great center of the production of jute goods. It appears that with the silver rupee at only Is. 2d., its present rate, the Caloutta mills can make the same class of goods for 2 pound, 13s. 4d. per ton less than they can be made In Dundee. Mr. Waiter Shepherd, writing from the latter place, says," “unless a change is made in our currency laws, it is oertain that this trade and this town will be wiped out. As an object lesson I out this extract from the Boston Transcript’s correspond ent in Mexioo under date of F'ebruary 25th ult. “No country in the world, except, per hans. Jaoan. has moved nrngressward with larger strides during the past ten years than Mexico, and 1 felt so humili ated on aocount of my ignorance of this great nation that I called on our minis ter, Mr. Ransom, and apologized to him for it, and on behalf of other equally un informed Bostonians. Since 1873, 16,500 miles ol railroad have, been built, and the country now makes education com pulsory, and this will be plainly seen In the next generation of Mexicans. Presi dent Diaz is a far seeing ruler, sagacious, soldierly, practical, and to him and the able assistants he has called about him is due the fact that Mexican llnacnes were never in better condition than at present. Although having liberally aided railroad construction. Mexioo’s entire foreign debt is today but slightly over one hundred million dollars or about as large as the debt of New tfork city. For business, 1 am convinced after talking with men of many interests and numerous Americans, that Mexico offers exceptionally fine opportunities. The same persistence, ability and energy ex erted in a quiet way, adapted to the country and its people, will, in five or ten years, show more than tour-fold tire results to be obtained in the same time in one of our Northern oities, and after one becomes acclimated in a business way, opportunity are numerous and continually revealed. For the American, with a definite profession, trade or pro ject, or with a few thousand dollars to invest, Mexico offers many inducements. Paper, cotton and sugar mills are usually located on mountain streams, and get their labor at twenty-five cents per day, and usually pay twenty-five per oent. dividends, besides giving their officers handsome salaries. I heard of one estab lishment which entirely paid for its to tal cost the first year it was run. This year the National Bank of Mexico paid seventeen per cent, and the Bank of London and Mexico paid fourteen per oent. Besides this both banks added largely to their reserve funds. The Lon don Bank has eaoh year since 1889 paid from fourteen to twenty per cent, besides annually setting towards its reserve fund the average sum of $200,000 Enormous profits and fortunes have been made in mining, and many Americans are in charge of mines. The Boston Herald’s Mexioan corres pondent, Mr. Garnsev, furnishes oorrob rating testimony. The public ought to be grateful that these “Sound Money” journals have not suppressed or doctored facts so damaging to their economic the ories. The English, French and German con sular reports from Japan, China, India and Mexico establish by undeniable facts that silver-standard countries, far from suffering at this moment any commercial crisis, see on the contrary their exports grow daily, and their agricultural and industrial production develope to an extent that is menacing to Europe. These same consuls report that the prin cipal factor in the economic transforma tion in these silver standard oountries is the lull in tue gold value ol silver. LOW INTEREST A BAD SYMPTOM. A most significant manifestation of the general stagnation of business, the falling off in the demand for capital for the purchase and development of lands, for the establishment of manufacturing plants, for railroads and works of irriga tion, for the varied enterprises, whioh the rapid growth aud development of a country as full of natural wealth as the United States is sure to promote, is the fact that when United States bonds of somewhat questionable legality were offered to the amount of $1000,000,000 at a current rate of interest to the investor of about 3)4 per cent, six times the amount of capital was offered to purchase them. So then 3)4 per cent, is tho market price that capital commands this spring of 1890, with the country well placed on a gold basis! Taxes in the oity of Port land are at the rate of 3 per cent, on cap ital, with a suspicion that they ought to he 214 per cent. Throughout the State tiie taxes average as high. But this does not include parish taxes nor the indirect national taxes, which must aggregate at east half a per cent. So then the capitalist who lends his money, gels three and half per cent, for its use, and Free Pills* Send your address to H. E. Bucklen Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. A trial will convince you of their merits. These pills are easy in action and aro particu larly effective in the cure of Constipation and Hick Headache. For Malaria and Liver troubles they have been proved in valuable. They are guaranteed to be perfectly free from every deleterious sub stance and to bo purely vegetable. They do not weaken by their action, but by giving tone to stomach and bowols great ly inivgorate the system. Regular size 25c per box. Sold by Geo. M. Young. Druggist, 489 Congress street H. G.

Well now, Bankers of Exchange street, all of you such fierce fighters for a “sound ourrency,” you have got youi souud ourrenoy, but is thore not more sound than substance about it now you have got it? You seem to he bearing your share of the general sacrifice aud distress. Three things have always gone togeth er, if the business history of this country has left us any lessons: High interest, high wages, successful business. Tho converse is equally true. Along with low interest have appeared simultaneously low wages, unproductive business. We did not put down tho rebellion, expending in doing it for one whole year three million dollars a day, on money borrowed at three per cent, a year. We oheerfnlly paid 12 per oent for it, and nevor made a better bargain. California was not developed between 1850 and 1S60 on three per oent; more nearly on twen ty-five per cent. Those marvels of enter prise, Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Denver, did not spring up out of the wilderness at the magio touch of three per cent. The fabulous growth of the United States in tho two deoades that followed 1800, transforming a people compnrativey poor into the wealthiest on tho globe, did not take place under a re gime of cheap interest or cheap labor. G. F. TALBOT. Tlie Singers at the Missionary Meeting. To the Editor of the Press: In answer to the question that has been so frequently asked in regard to the singers who helped give suoh oharaoter to the missionary meeting at Second Parish oburoh Wednesday afternoon, wa will say that the trio, “Lift Thine Eyes,” from Elijah, so exquisitely sung in the devotional service, was given by Mrs. Ernest True, Miss Hawes—who are to sing In Williston church the coming year—and Miss Thompson, of Worcest er, where she is recognized as a leading oratorio singer. Her “How Blosseit are the Messengers that Preach us the Gospel of Peaoe, in the same service, was most effective, as were her suosequent airs “But the Lord is Mindful of His Own,” and “He was Despised," the lattei bringing many tears. Miss Thompson’s voioe is as rare as it is beautiful, as is her finished execution. If she dceides tc make Portland her home she will receive a glad welcome from all music-loving people. M. K. (J. STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.' Last Thursday evening A ugustus Dube, a German living at Benton Falls, was proceeding homeward when be was spok en to by one of throe mon who were com ing up behind him and who requester Dube to wait a minute. When the three auproaohed him one of them asked foi ten oents, and Dube,fas be says, thought he.would give the ten cents rather than have trouble with the men. He pro duced the dime, but the man raised the ante, demanding a quarter. At this time Dube realized he was in the hands oi highwaymen, for two of them wonl through him while one covered him with a revolver. They succeeded in relieving Dube of a watoh aDd chain of the value of $10, and $3 in good money of the realm, and then they ran down the road. A West Bethel man says: “From mj kitchen window I saw four nice part ridges today, apparently foraging or some of my choicest apple trees.

The ferry, which is now the only means of orossing between Gardiner and Ran dolph. does a thriving business.

New York Office: No. 66 Pulitzer Building, New York City, Byron Andrews. Manager. THE PRESS. THURSDAY, MARCH 26. It can safely be predicted that the St. Louis convention will not be a dull affair. The story that the Bermuda has suc ceeded in landing her ammunition on the Cuban ooast may be true. On the ot her hand it is just as likely to be false. The Hon. Hoger Q. Mills woko up rather late on the Cuban business, but it can be said for him that when he did wake he woke with a vengeance. Mr. Mills is not satisfied with giving Cuba the moral support of the country, he wants to take hold and free it by force. Some years ago when Mr. Mills was lec turing on free trade a gentleman in the audience asked him some disagreeable questions which he replied to by advising his questioner to “soak his head.” It is a question whether the time has not ar rived for the Texas statesman to take his own advice. Certainly his head has the appearance of being very hot and needing cooling applications. The McKinley boomer who said it was “first ballot or bust” had undoubtedly been let into the plan of oampatgn. The way the McKinley boomers go about the oountry antagonizing every other candi date and when they cannot down him jeering at him is certain to oreate such a hostility to MoKinley among the adherents of other candidates that he can never get any of their strength. Some if not many of the New York delegates would proba bly have inolined toward MoKinley when it became apparent that Morton could not be nominated, but they have been irrevocably fixed against going his way by the performances of his shouters in the New York convention. Moreover even if McKinley’s friends feel sure of his nomination on the first ballot their course in making themselves unnecessar ily disagreeable is exceedingly unwise. Tne more bad blood stirred up before the nomination, the harder to secure har mony after—and harmony is essential to suocess whoever is nominated. New York is naturally a close state and it is exceedingly unwise to offend the majority of the Republicans there as the antics of MoKinley’s over zealous managers have undoubtedly done. SILVER AND PROSPERITY. The Hon. George F. Talbot, in com mon 'with the other silver people, cultivates the impression that all the financial collapses and business, depress ions that have afflicted the country have happened since the year 18T3. One not acquainted with the history of tho coun try previous to that date would infer “"i" j-aiuuo s arucie eisewnere puD lished that up to that time the country had sailed along on plaaid waters with out any squalls or head flaws, with the sun of prosperity constantly shining and the wind always blowing in the right direction and at just the right velocity. He would infer also that tnose same con ditions would have prevailed indefinitely had not the American Congress in the year 1873, in an evil hour, removed the barrier that had theretofore confined the angry and contrary winds, and let them all out to play the misohief with our prosperity. But history cannot be biotted out, nor the fact concealed that long before the act demonetizing silver was passed there had been ups and downs in business, periods of great prosperity and periods of corresponding adversity and depression. So the argument that as depression happened after the aot of 1873 therefore it was caused by that act, has not tho usual force of the post hoc argument inasmuch as it an be easily shown that depression happened before as well as after. But, says Mr. Talbot, business has not picked up in the two years that we have been on a monometallic basis, or not so much as was anticipate, therefore (we are quoting the gist of his argument) the monometallic basis is not tho true one, and the country should get on to the so oalledjbi-metallio basis as soon as possible. This argument depends for its validity upon several faots and these must be shown to fexist before it is entitled to any weight. It must be shown that the monometallic basis is either the direct cause of the continuance of the depression or that it creates a condition unfavorable to recovery. Where is the evidence that the failure of tho country to regain its full prosperity has been due to the neglect to put silver on an equality with gold as a money metal? The silver men toll us that the oountry went on to the monometallic basis over twenty years ago and has boon there ever since. Yet it is a well known fact that within this period it has en joyed prosperity unparalleled. If a gold basis causes'business and industrial de pression or oreates an atmosphere favor able to it how is it that the history of the country since 1873 has not been a history of a gradual and steady decline, instead of.a history of ups and downs like that of the country ever since it became an indus trial and ooinmeroial nation. The only thing like proof that monometallism has lujd something to do with the country’s depression that Mr. Taibot adduces is the fact that business is good in Mexico which is on a silver basis. But that amounts to nothing unless it is shown that Mexico’s prosperity is because of a silver basis. Doe3 Mr. Talbot show this? No, he simply assumes it. But wbat is the nature of this prosperity? Is it the kind that the American people would like to have introduced into this country. It seems the capitalists and baukers in Mexioo earn from 15 to 25 per cent upon their capital while labor re ceives the princely stipend of 25 oents a day. If Mr. Talbot should succeed in proving that this kind of prosperity was duo to free silver he would prove alto gether too much for the good of tho free silver cause in this country. But it is vast ly more probable that suoh prosperity as Mexico enjoys is due to the stability of the government which has beeu acquired comparatively recently and the discovery oy American capita uses or opportunities that have been running to waste, rather than to silver. It is safe to soy also that those capitalists will not loDg be allowed to enjoy their twenty-five per cent. Competition will eventually attack them and compel them to bo oon tent with smaller returns, and then there will be complaint that Mexico is depressed. Mr. Talbot’s facility for making as sumptions do duty as established foots ap pertains to the whole silver propaganda. Almost all of their conclusions are drawn from premises which are disputed. Yei their habit is to treat their case as in contestably proved. That Is the reason they are always attributing their failure to get their polioy adopted by Congress to malevolent influences. It apparently never ooccurs to a good many of theso people that free silver is not adopted be cause it Is regarded as an unwise and calamitous policy. They attribute Its rejection to the machinations of the bankers or the gold bugs so-called, who are credited with the pur pose of paralyzing Industry, ruining business, and plunging tbp people into distress in order that they may profit by the ruin they have wrought. And here Is another of their assumptions which they treat as estab lished facts. It is that bankers .and gold bugs oan flourish on failing business, de pressed industry and general distress. But very slight reflection Is needed to convlnoe anybody whose mind Is not blinded by prejudioe that bankers and gold bug3 are quite as dependent on gen eral prosperity for their gains as anybody else. The only way they get profit Is by lending their money and when Industry ia stagnant nobody wants to borrow, that is nobody who can pay. A banker who deals in 6eourities can not make any money if the properties which they repre sent aro unproductive. Indeed the capi talist and the banker have a deeper inter est In the general prosperity than any other class. A manufacturer may be prosperous if his particular industry is flourishing, if the particular concern that employs him Is prosperous the working man need worry little about other con cerns. But the banker and the capitalist must have general prosperity to make them prosperous. Henoe they above all other men are the ones who are most Im pelled by self interest to promote that whioii will add to the general prosperity and to prevent that which will detraot from it. The exact reverse of the as sumption of the silver people that capital ists want business depression is the truth. They above all men want general pros perity because they above all men are de pendent upon It for tbeir gains. CURRENT COMMENT. THE NEW YORK MoKINLEY MEET ING. (New York Evening Post.) When the hour for the speaking arrived the number of McKinley boomers was so painfully small that the chairman asked them to move down to the front of the platform. After they had done so there was a large space iu the rear of the hall unoccupied. Others dropped in later but most oi these wera employes of the city departments. No better evidence could be furnished that McKinley is not popular in this part of the Republican vineyard. He has plenty of newspaper backing especially in the cloumns of the Tribune and tho World; but neither the business men nor tho workingmen arc for him. If the city is any index to tho feeling of the State Gov. Morton is tho party’s first choice and McKinley is not the second. It is not difficult to predict that if Mr. Morton’s name is dropped for any reason the bulk of the New York vote will go to Thomas B. Reed. MR. REED’S MASTERLY LEADER SHIP. (Kennebec Journal.) Mr. Reed’s course in this campaign Will relieve him of any criticism in this respect. He has attended strictly and impartially to his duties as Speaker of a Republican House amid most trying cir cumstances. He has guided the affairs of the House in a muuner that commands tho admiration of all parties, without fear and without favor. The good name of the HeDuulican party and tho success of its Presidential nominee, whoevor he may be, have rested safely under his masterly leadership. Indeed his record since Inst December, wore all his brilliant achievement In the past lost sight of, affords ample evidence, not only of his eligibility to the Presidency, but liis superior qualifications for it. His repu tation rests upon no fortuitous circum stances; he is a peer auioug men, he is a typical Republican among Republicans, lie is the candidate above other candi dates lor the Republican party to nomi nate. LOGIC AND HISTORY. (New ¥ork Sun.) The resolutions adopted by the Milhol land-MoKinley mass meeting at the Coop er Union Monday evening declare that Major MoKinloy is “a logical candidate of the Republican party for President.” What does this mean? That Major Mc Kinley is a oandidato with a logical mind? That may he so, or it may not be so. The fact Is, the precision and speed of the Major’s mental processes, and the value of his intellectual conclusions, aro us yet better known to Mr. Hanna of Cleveland than to the vast majority of American Republicans. Or does it mean that Major McKinley is a candidate whom the Republican lurty can nominate without being illogi cal? That Is undoubtedly true, and it is true likewise of Mr. Morton, Mr. Reed, Mr. Allison, or any othor of Major Mc Kinley’s competitors. Or does it mean that tbe Ohio states man is the logic candidate of the Repub lican party; the man of all men whom the logic of events requires it to nomi nate If that is the meaning, it must be be oauso the acoident of Major MoKinley’s appointment by Speaker Reed as chair man of the oommlttee on ways and means in the House of Representatives of the Fifty-first Congress, fastened his name to the tariff bill which the Republi can party passed through Congress in the 6priug of 1890. The first poiltloal results of the pas sage of that bill were recorded in the fall elections of the same year. A new House of Representatives was elected in whloh there were only 87 Republicans. The Republicans lost Connecticut, Illi nois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska,Oregon, Rhode Island, Wiscon sin, and even Pennsylvania. They nar rowly esoaped the loss of Kansas, Minne sota, Iowa and even the Major’s own Ohio. In Now York they eleoted only 11 Representatives, as against 18 in the preceding Congress. In Ohio they eleoted only seven Congressmen, instead of 16 as before. —ill vuo jji UUOOO was the election in 189.3 of Grover Cleve land as President of the United States, and the loss by Major MoKinley’s party of the oontrul of the entire administra tion maohinery of the federal govern ment. Logic is logic, but history is history. NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Story of New Sweden as told at the Quarter Centennial Celebration of the Founding of the Swedish Colony in the Woods of Maine, June 35, 1895, has just been published by the Thurston Print, and Is for sale by Loring, Short Harmon for 35 cents in paper, and 60 cents in cloth binding. The volume is published under the direction of Micheal N. Norberg, Johan A. Westin and Olof P. Fogelin ot the New Sweden col ony, who constituted the committee on publication. The extemporaneous speech es contained in this volume wers steno graphed, and the volume edited by Stan ley J. Estes. Everybody interested in the story of the New Sweden oolony,— and every in telligent oitizen of Maine is or ought to be—will appreciate this volume which contains the narrative of the oolony from its inception up to the present time, as told by the Hon. W. W. Thomas, Jr., its founder, in the oration which he deliv ered at the quarter-centennial. Those who heard the oration will enjoy reading it as muoh as they enjoyed listening to it. It has been elaborated in some points since its delivery, and as published contains many interesting and suggestive para graphs that did not appear in its original form. The volume opens with a happy introduction to the ceremonies of the day which it commemorates. Then fol lows the appropiiate opening address by Mr. Frank Oscar Landgrane, one of the Swedish colonists, who was President of the day Then comes the prayer by Rev. S. D. JenkB of Caribou and then the very eloquent address of welcome by Rev. Mioliael Ullrich Norberg, pastor of the First Swedish Evangelioal Lutheran church of Maine. Next follows the ora tion of Mr. Thomas, the founder. Though widely published aud read at the time, it will well repay perusal even by those who heard it. Following the ora tion of Mr. Thomas are the brief addresses of Hon. W. W. Thomas Sr., Hon. Charles F. IJaggett, Hon. H. L. Shep herd, Hon. C. A. Boutelle, Col. F. N. Bow, Hon. Albion Little, Hon. S. L. Lairabea and Hon. Edward Wiggin, all of them stenographially reported; aud the letters read on the oooasion from Gov. Cleaves, Speaker Reed, Senator Hale, Sonator Frye, Congressmen Dingley and Milliken, Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, ex-Guv. Perham, George W. Norton, Payoon Tucker and Frank W. Cram. In an appendix is contained the names of the twenty-two men who sailed from Sweden with Mr. Thomas on the 26th of June, 1870, together with the lots on which tney secuea; cue nrsc uoam or municipal officers of the Plantation of New Sweden; and the first board of offi cers of the town of New Sweden, elected a year ago. Thera are many exellent pic tures of prominent men of the colony and of the principal buildings. The frontis piece of the volume is a portrait of Mr Thomas. A wide cir culation of the book will undoubtedly prove of great benefit to the state. A MOTHER’S DUTY. Your daughters are the most pro eious legacy possible in this life.

Promotions Caused by the Death of Chief Engineer Allen. ORDERS ISSUED BY GENERAL MANAGER TUCKER. The Men Who Have Charge of the Maine Central’s Tracks and Bridges—A Re waid Offered for the Recovery of Mr. Allen’s Body. "Vice President and General Manager Tucker was seen yesterday at liis office by a representative of the PRESS, and asked if the sad death of Chief Engineer Allen would not necessitate some.ohanges in the Maine Central staff,and what those changes would be. “Yes,” said Mr. Tucker, “Mr. Allen’s sudden and sad death, which has been suoh a shook to us all personally and such a loss to the Maine Central system, of oourse necessitates several ohanges in the executive force the road, and as you will see by these orders the changes for the present have been decided upon,” Mr. Tucker handed the reporter the in formation priDted below, whioh goes to all the employes of the Maine Central to day. Continuing, Mr. Tuoker said the officials named are all tried men, who uhvo Herveu iuu ruuu tijiuiouuj faithfully, masters of their trades, and the traveling publio will be glad to know that the Engineering department—such an important one to the safety of the publio—is to be in the hands of such ca pable men, so thoroughly acquainted with the construction of the Maine Cen tral system. The orders are as follows: MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD, Vice President’s Office, Portland, Me., March 26th, 1896. Mr. Herbert C. Robinson, assistant engineer, will, fTcm this date, have oharge of the offioe of the Civil Engineer ing Department of this Company at Port land. Beginning this date, Mr. D. A. Booker will have charge of the maintenance of bridges, and the maintenance of build ings ana other structures at Portland and on all the lines of this Company east of Portland. He will report directly to the Vice Prsident. Mr. Booker’s title Is Bridge lnspeotor. His address, Bruns wick, Maine. The maintenance of roadway and track, east of Portland will be in oharge of the ruadmasters on the various Divisions, as at present designated. They will re port dircotly to the Vice President. Beginning this date, Mr. George F. Black will have charge of maintenacne of roadway and track, and the mainten ance of bridges, buildings and other structures on that part of this Company’s lines north of Portland. He will report directly to the Vice President. Mr. Black's title is Assistant Engineer. His address, Portland, Maine. Mr. P. N. Watson, Bridge Inspector, will act as assistant to Mr. Blaok in the maintenance of bridges, and will report directly to him. PAYSON TUCKER, Vice President and General Manager. In these orders the Maine Central fol lows its old established precedent of pro moting officials and all of the civil en gineers and road masters are moved up a peg. Following are brief sketches of the men who are promoted: HERBERT C. ROBINSON, Assistant Engineer, who is promoted to have charge of the Civil Engineering department, is 39 years of age, a native of Portland, and haB been in the employ of the Maine Central Railroad since May, 1883. He began engineering work in Sep tember, 1873. in the office of William A. Goowdin, then City Civil Engineer at Portland, and passed seven years in that office, afterwards doing engineering work in South America, and on various luiuuau dui 1 cj a, puuunjiuij' iu biio obfiia of Maine, until his appointment on the Maine Central. GEORGE P. BLACK Assistant Engineer, Portland, Maine, was horn in Palermo, Maine,November 4, 1861. He was graduated from the Maine State College in June, 1886, and entered the employ of the Maine Central rail road as assistant engineer in July of the same year. He was engaged on the en gineering work connected with the con struction of the repair shops of the com pany at Waterville, and of the Union Station at Portland until Septembor, 1888. Prom September, 1888, to May, 1894, he was employed as assistant engi neer and as aotiug roadmaster on the Mountain Jlivisiou. PERLEY N. WATSON, Bridge Inspector, Bartlett, N. H., was born at Randolph, N. H., on April 8th, 1847. In 1876 he entered the omploy of She Grand Trunk railway, in the main tenance of way department, and helped erect the first pin connected iron bridge on the Atlantic St. Lawrence division of that road. In 1878, Mr. Watson had charge of the building of bridges and structures on the Rumford Palls and Buokfield railroad. In May, 1881, Mr. Watson entered the employ of the Port land Ogdensburg railway as bridgo builder, and upon the lease of that road by the Maine Central was appointed Bridge Inspoetor of that division of the Maine Central. D. A. BOOKER, Bridge Inspector, Brunswick, Maine, was born at Durham, Maine, and is now sixty three years of en*ere the spirtual and temporary needs of that scattered people. An important and interesing branch of the work of_Captain and Mrs. Allen has been the distributing of religious litera ture, and the holding of religious ser vices in the sohool houses at different points on the islands,and along the coast. It should not be understood that there was no religious influence at work be xure x>uey uegaxx LI1U1I xuuui's as uuobuwibc missionaries. There are in all four church organizations, but no pastor in either case. At Birch Harbor there was once a church organization, but it no longer exists. At Hancock there is a ohuroh building, and another at Outer Long Island, but sat other points the peo ple worship in the school houses. At South (iouldsboro there is a church mem bership of 10, at Indian Harbor of nine, at Outer Long Island of SO. There is a good degree of interest felt at all' these points. At Musoongus Island there si-1 a considerable degree of religious interest at this time, largely the result of the es tablishing of a Sunday school there by Captain and Mrs. Allen. The school was started in February, and last Sun day there was an attendance of 34 schol ars and 20 visitors. There is no oburch organization on tho island, and but two professors of religion who are able to take part in the meetings, but those who have beoome interested in the Sunday school work, have also beoome personally interested in the subject of religion. The people along the coast are intelli gent, and in the main industrious. They depend upon the sea and have hard work to make more than a living. Captain Poland is the owner of the only schoon er hailing from that section, now in the fresh fish business. Tho men are, as a rule, lobster takers. The literature distributed by Captain Allen is largely of the character Rev. Franois Southworth has so long dis tributed to the sailors as a part of the work of the Bethel church, religious papers, tracts, hymn books—as a rule the people are good singers—and the maga zines. The people are eager for reading matter, and it as a pleasure to supply them. While as a rule the people are indus trious and ready to work, of course un looked for misfortunes will come along coast, as well as here in Portland, and Captain and Mrs. Allen have been able in many oases to help deserving people to get through the winter. In particular, he has been able, thanks to the kindness of Portland friends, to help them to warm clothing. There is no general des titution, and tho faot that Captain Allen supplied 235 persons with articles of clothing is not at all a remarkable cir oumstnnoe when it is recalled that he is not the pastor of a church, or confined to one locality or island, but that his labors extend along the Maine coast line for many miles, and that he is brought in oontaot with hundreds of people. In par ticular, it is to be also remembered that in many respects this has been an excep tionally bad season, the hard weather, and sudden storms having kept many of the people along shore from anything like constant work. Captain Allen will probably be hero until Monday. He will speak nt the Reform school Sunday morning. He will ue uuuguu to expenu uuout siuu on tee sloop Alert, and must raise the money. From January first to the present time his collections have amounted to only (21.76, and on that small sum, and a few ionations received from friends Captain ind Mrs. Allen, have managed to live. Captain Allen does not propose to give up the work to whioh he feels that God has called him. He must have the money with whioh to pay for the repairs on the Alert, and if it can he gat in no other way, then he will himself go to sea and jarn it. Devoted as ho is to the work, he ioes not mean to let it drop. He hopes of jourse, that it will not be necessary for him to give up his work even for a time, ind to ship again in order to raise the money, but if worst comes to worst he will do it. Captain Allen in moving from point to point during the winter months was of jourse exposed to dangers, and it need rardly be said has only managed with lifflouity to live. With no sooiety behind lim, he has praotioally stood alone in ;liis work with this exception that Mr. Bouthworth has taken a deep personal w' ierest in his fortunes. Woman’s Council Lecture. The fifth lecture in the course on msiuess toplos which has been arranged iy the Woman’s Council will be given n the Advent church on Saturday next, daroh 28, at 3 p. m.

Adams of 127 South avenue, that city was saved from a painful oneration by the use of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. Mr. Adams said: “Three years ago I was taken with kidney disease very bad ly; at times I was completely prostrated in fact, was so bad that the day was se for the doctors to perform an operation upon me. But I decided I would not submit. I had been put in hot water baths, and, in fact, nearly every meant was tried to help me. Upon the day set for the operation I commenced the use of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Reme dy, and from that moment began to gain, and it was not long before I was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble since. My weight has in creased and I never was so well as I am now. I have recommended DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY to many people, for it saved my life.” In speaking to Mrs. Adams, she said “About a year ago I was in a very feeble state of health, being completely run down. I had doctored considerably, but without permanent relief. One day one of my neighbors advised me to take Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, which 1 did. My trouble was dyspepsia, and for a long while I was unable to be about at all; but after taking a few doses I was completely cured, and now enjoy good health.” Hundreds of men and women with that “run down” condition, unable to work, have recovered health and strength through this remarkable remedy. It purifies the blood, stirs the liver and kidneys to a healthy action. In cases of rhematism, Kidney, liver and urinary troubles, it is a well-known specific. rietl, and was one of the most efficient workmen on tho crew and a general favorite with all who knew him.

The Senator Likes Cleveland and Thinks Cleveland Likes Him—Doesn’t Like Mis sionary Policy—The Trouble With the Railroads. “Do you ever meet Mr. Ceveland?” “I have several times met him. I rath er think he likes me. At any rate he talks froely with me, and I have grown to like him. I never asked him for any favor, nor went to see him on any sub ieot of his patronage, but he is a genial, bold talker. “With ability?” “Yes; I thiDk he has ability. He has full as much will as Harrison and is not so one sided to oon verse with. Harrison was ready, and on some questions full, but one had to hear him only. Cleveland is also a good listener, and an evening’s tiftl lr wit-.H him hua l-.ha 1 TVtonont n-ff mnHial conversation.” ‘‘What was Harrison’s best quality?” “I think in making short speeohes from point to point. That took the people.” “Is Cleveland’s administration a suo 3 ess?” “Financially it is very disastrous. We paid expenses out of receipts right along until he beoame President again, and we have never met expenses since. H is fiscal men have failed more and more with ivory opportunity to correot themselves.” “Is there not a probability of the Pres idential eleotion being left undecided by the people?” “Some four tiokets will bfc in the field, ;he us ual temperance ticket, the Popu list or silver ticket and 1.ne two old par ties. As there arj te'j States west of Ne braska whioh have-^ueen coalesced for sil ver, and, as I ’Relieve, the Demooratio party Sout^. Except in Republican States, there wiii be a Populist party next fall, rod aft our elections, as in the case of tVayes, have been dooided by as low as one electoral vote, it is possible that Con gress may come into the settlement.” “How can that be if the entire; North as far as Kansas votes Republican?” “I believe we shall have Kansas safe this time. Still, these ten silver States have twenty Senators, while several of them have only one Representative. This united electoral vote will be as Jgreat as that of some one groat State. Though all these States put together have only the population of a fraction of Ohio, each will count one vote when they come to vote as States in Congress.” “I saw your old ooadjutor, Jay Cooke, lately, Mr. Sherman; he is of the be lief that the two attaoks on silver and the tariff have brought the country low. He says that silver-paid labor in Japan, selling its produces in the United States for gold, absorbs 100 per cent, of tariff protection and that higher duties will not protect without silver restoration.” Mr. Sherman listened and smiled with out reply. “Mr. Cooke says, also, that when the national bank system was proposed to New York olty the old bankers there were as obdurate as they now are on sil ver and are but a flock of sheep with the foolisbest wether carrying the bell.” Mr. Sherman listened and smiled with out reply. “Have we not given away the gooBe to put our missionaries into savage lands to raise them into the competitive arts against ourselves?” “I never thought muoh of the mis sionary policy. When I was lately ap plied to for a subscription to uphold the Armenian missionaries I said I would rather contribute to bringing them home. “Cun our railroads get up again?’ “Their great bonded debts are their ru in. With plentiful borrowing power they borrowed heedlessly, as the government is doing, and issued bonds. The stock could perish and the property extricate it self, but the enormous bonded debts of our railroads weigh them to the earth and suck their substanoe out.” “Have you not seen the railroads at some time in their history equally de pressed?’’ “About 40 years ago when thev beeran to supplant iron with steel rails they were for awhile ailing. But now the old est railroads, like the Baltimore and Ohio, oollapse under their crushing bur den of bonded debt. That stook was not large, but it is down to 16, once like our public credit, worth double par, but bonded and rebouded, till it failed to pay interest and Shylock had it. Always claiming, too, superior conservatism. I see that they are going to call for 45 per cent of assessment upon the stook. Well, that would bring it up to 60 again. In the past the stockholder had many a div idend.” TO CUKE A COED IN ONE DAI. Take laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets, all druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. 25c. Violated the Revenue Laws.

Failing to pro cure the necessary sureties Floyd was taken to jail in Portland by Deputy Smith. Schoolboy- Athletes. At tho last meeting of the M. I. S. A. A. the deciding of the ohampionship for ’95 was left to a committoe of three, the Bangor boys to select a lawyer from Portland, and the Portland boys a lawyer from Bangor those %wo to select the third. At tho meeting of the Bangor High [School Association held Monday Knights of old—crusaders who went to conquer the world, could not hope to succeed unless they were in virile, hearty health. A man cannot face difficulties if his stomach isn’t in good order. Dis ordered digestion will make a sluggish coward out of any man. It makes his mind stagnant, and he cannot think quickly enough to accomplish anything. It makes his movements slow, and takes all of the snap out of him. Every man in business in America has a fight on his hands just as much as ever had belted knight. It is a matter of life and death, just the same with him as it was with the crusader. Indigestion and all the ills that go with it, most frequently start in constipation. That keeps all sorts of im purities in the body, forces them into the blood, and so deranges the whole system. Constipation is one of the commonest ills, and to it are traceable most of the disorders that make people sick. Once it gets a firm hold on a man, it is most difficult to overcome it. Temporary re lief can be obtained in a thousand ways. There are medicines on the market that will help as long as you take them. There is only one remedy that is a real remedy—that you don’t have to keep on taking forever. That is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. The “Pellets” are tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and efficient in their action. They effect a permanent cure. You don’t become a slave to their use, as with other pills. If you will send 21 one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only, we wilt send you free the most useful medical book extant. This is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, in plain English; a book of 1008 pages, profusely illustrated, the great expense of preparing which has been covered by the sale of 680,000 copies at the regular price. $1.50 per copy.

If you have dull and heavy pain across fore head and about the eyes: if the nostrils are frequently stopped up and followed by a disa greeabls discharge; if soreness in the nose .and bleeding from the nostrils is of ten experienced; if you are very sensitive to cold in the head ac companied with headache: then you may be sure you have catarrh; and should (immediate ly) resort to Ely’s Cream Balm for a cure. The remedy will give instant relief.

A Prodigal's Persiflage. “I’m willing to make allowances, but”— The prodigal’s parent fumed arouad the room like the amiable old ass he was. “You've spent a cool thousand this week already!” “Cool?” The spendthrift son ohewed calmly on a dove. “Nit!

NoQuestion About It. “If anything will cure you, It is Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” This is the remark of thousands of people who know by personal experience the merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, in rec ommending it to others. They know that when the blood is im pure and'tho severest forms of Sorofula and Salt Rheum afflict their unhappy victims, HOOD’S SARSAPARILIlA CURES.

President al Electors Must all be Chosen in State Convention Headquarters Republican State Committee, Augusta, Maine, Jan, 18, 1896. To the Republicans of Maine:—Prior to 1892 two Presidential electors at large, correspond ing to the two United States senators, were nominated in State convention, and the re maining electors, corresponding to the mem bers of the Unfted States House of Represeii tatives were nominated by the several con gressional district conventions. The passage of the Australian Ballot law en tirely changed the procedure. Under the lav/, all Conventions are a portion of our election system, and this ballot act reauires that candi dates to be voted for by the Voters throughout the whole state must be placed in nomination by a Convention representing no less a constit uency than the whole state. Hence, all the candidates of a party for Presidential electors must be nominated in State Convention, and I have therefore included in the call six electors. J. H. MANLEY. Chairman.

Many Schooners Forced in For a Har bor Yesterday. The Opening; of the Coastwise Season— The Flood in Maine Made a Market for Nova Scotia Pulp—Fishermen Forced in by the Living; Gale Outside. The “living gale” outside foroed many schooners, and in partioular, lumber iaden sohoonors, to mako a harbor here yesterday. The lower harbor presented a pretty picture from the line of wharves. Two sohooners arrived light from Bos ton yesterday and will load with lumber for South America. The lumber wharves were deserted before they arrived, the last sohooner and the Millie J. H., hav ing taken cargo and pulled out into the stream. The Gloucester schooner Eliza H. Park hurst, went out yesterday, but returned for a harbor. Nothing more need be said alter that regarding the nature of the weather outside, for when a Gloucester lisherman is forced baok, other skippers prefer to remain in port. The flood in Maine made a- market for Nova Scotia pulp, and yesterday two schooners, the Majestic of Lunenburg, and the Loreana of Liverpool, N. S., ar rived with full cargoes. Tho British 6ohooner Millie J.H. ,Capt. McKenzie, sailed yesterday for Buenos Ayres with a cargo of 506,85 feet of lum ber, oleared by W. W. Kiggs. The sohooner Ch apparel, Capt. Pear son, has arrived at this port from Port Ciyde. She brought the sails and rig ging saved from the wreck ot the schoon er Brunette near Port Clyde a couple of months ago. They were consigned to J. H. McKay. The brig Isaac Jaokson has been char tered to load lumber at this port for Buenos Ayres at $6 50 per thousand feet. Thft flfirtrn nf thn MitmiHi*»r» la nnr largely on the way to Montreal. Freights are not allowed to remain about the yard of the present hustling Grand Trunk railroad. The coastwise business has in a meas- ure resumed. A number of sohooners are loading at the J. H. Blake freight sheds for along the coast. They are taking out j corn in bulk,general groceries, furniture, barbed wire, a few boats and a general lot of other things too numerous to min- 1 cion, but ail eagerly looked for by some- body. J. W. Trefethen reported the arrival yesterday of the following fishermen: Undo Joe, with 10,000 pounds ood and haddock; Ella M. Doughty, with 3000 1 pounds; Martha D. McLane, with 3000 pounds; George F. Kean, with 3000 pounds; small boats, 20,000 pounds. The fishermen encountered a gale out side Tuesday, and oouldn’t fish. Yester day it was still worse and so they, to quote the words of a skipper, “soooted for home.” The steamship Vancouver, of the Do- minion line will sail today with a very 1 full and valuable cargo She will be out in the stream at an early hour this morn- 1 ing, in order to take advantage of the tides. The Cottage City, arrived at 6.30 yes terday. Captain Bennett reported that he encountered a very high wind outside. i Despite this report the Tremont ‘went out, and probably encountered strong head winds, and very bad sea. There is an odd stiok one of the crew of a Gloucester fisherman,who always in- i sists on stopping the newspaper men i who get the water front news, and mak- ing what he oalis his report. He doesn’t report vessels sighted, or fish secured, i but his own condition. “Say I’m i drunk,” or “say I’m pretty sober, com- 1 fortable so you know,” is his usual re quest. Once, and onoe only he astonished one of the reporters by saying “you can report that Bill’s sober this time.” It 1 was a great temptation, but it was suc cessfully resisted, the reporter feeling that none of his marine readers would believe such a statement. He is said to be a very valuable man on board ship, and his skipper is inclined to bear a great deal from him. WEDDINGS. Adams-Boyd. A quiet wedding was very pleasantly celebrated at the residence of Col. and Mrs. John M. Adams, Woodfords, Deer ing,yesterday noon—the marriage of their daughter, Susan Merrill Adams to Dr. James Harrington Boyd of Chicago Uni versity.

Mr. and Mrs. Boyd left on the afternoon train for the West. The Cable Grounded. Two weeks ago it was found that the submarine cable that conveys the power from the Cape power house to this oity bad grounded, and since that time the power has boon transmitted direotly over the trolley wire over the draw bridge and the power is thus shut off from this city every time the draw is opened.

Hack oonduoted the services and the iutermont was at Evergreen cemetery. MisseB Griffith JDeCoster will have their Easter oponing of pattern hats and bonnets Friday and Saturday, March 27th and 28th. THE TELEMETER. An Aid to Mariners and How It la Used, Every landlubber knows what a com pass is, and. most of the people, who, like Sir Joseph Porter, “stick close to their desks and never go to sea,” have some idea what a quadrant is, but most of them never heard of a ship’s telemeter. And, for that matter, neither had any of the sea captains who dropped into the board of trade rooms yesterday afternoon to see one. Several fresh water sailors were also there. To them, the telemeter looked like a couple of metal rulers fast ened to a board with a soale upon It. The attachment to the boaid is made at one end of each of the rulers or curves so that they may be made to point in any direction and, in addition, one of the arms may be slid baek and forth over the graduated scale. On eaoh arm is a sight □ot unlike that on a pistol. The arms, like timescale, on the board to which they are attached, have soales on them. At the points where the arms are all at tached to the board, are what mariners know as dumb oompasses, that Is plates with tho points of the oorapass engraved m them. The whole thing is only about two feet long. Captain Arbeoam, who explained the ievioe to the mariners yesterday, drew a oharts and indicated lighthouses and shoals on them in a way that showed rim to De a navigator of experience, from his description,the man who sticks ■O his desk and seldom goes to sea, learn id how to use the telemeter. Perhaps Jap tain Arbecam wouldn’t use it quite this way. In that case, the landsman lid not understand him correctly. •Suppose a steamship is approaohlng Portland and a foggy night is ahead. I'he captain can see Half Way rook light. Of course he can tell its direoction by the compass, but he oan only estimate mo distance, it may be ten miles; it nay be fifteen. Bo he resort3 to his tele neter. He sights over one arm, gets it in ine with the light and clamps it. Then le runs, say three mile3 farther on his >ourse, his automatic log measuring the listance. The other arm of the telemeter s then slid along the hoard to a point on he scale indicating three miles, and the laptain sights at the light over this arm. Phe effect is to make the two arms cross md the reading on the scale on eaoh irm at the point of interseotion is the listance of the ship from the light when hat arm wrs used In making the obser vation. In other words, the arms and he board make a triangle. The soale on he board indicates a known distance, he ship’s log revealing that. The rest is imply a matter of mathematics—but not lmple mathematics—in making the cales on the arms so correspond to that in the board, that their readings in in hes and fractions will correctly represent distance in miles. That they do this s shown by the faot that the oontri ance has been adopted by the United itates government for use on naval and evenue vessels. Captain Arbocam ex ilained many other ways in which it uay be used. The telemeter is the in vention of Lieutenants J. M. Buver and )swin W. Lowry, U. B. N. WOMEN’S LITERARY UNION. Entertained by the 11 et 1 ring President, Mrs. J. B. Coyle. Mrs. John B. Coyle, having served as irosident of the Women’s Literary Union is long as the constitution of the sooie y will permit, marked her retirement rom the position by giving a tea to the nembers of the association from 4 to 6 I’olock yesterday afternoon at her resi lence on State street.
