ANARCHIST MEETING DISPERSED, Berlin, August 22 —An anarchist meet ing held in Beriin today was dispersed by Polioo who arrested the speaker. STATE OF CHAOS. Conger Says Disorder Reigns in Pekin. Imperial Family Has Fled to Si An. The Palace is Expected to Be Taken Immediately. Cabinet Replies to Li Hung’s Appeal. It is Virtually a Rejection of His Proposition. I Washington, August 23.—After a long conference at the White House today, the reply of the United States to the applica tion of LI Hung Chang, for the appoint ment of pence commissioners was complet ed and a copy of the reply sent to the Chinese minister,Mr. Wu-, to be forward ed to Knri Li. The State Department made definite announcement that the re ply bad been conveyed to Mr. Wu, but added to Its official utterance that the correspondence would not be made public until tomorrow morning. A copy of the reply was sent to other governments rep resented in China. The American reply is chiefly charac terized by its firm tone and its brevity. Its keynote is the President’s attitude as laid down in the American note of July 3 and there is the strictest adherence to the points enunciated at that time. While the document is open to the con struction of being a rejection of Li Hung Chang's proposition for immediate nego tiat ions, yet it is stated by those who have read the answer with care and have had a j part in its preparation, that rejection is I prohabiv too strong a term to apply to it. I The United States places Itself in the po sitlon of being ready at the proper time to take up peace negotiations but in the present unsettled condition of affairs in the empire, the lack of knowledge as to who are the responsible rulers and what constitutes the actual Chinese govern ment, it is made clear that the time has not arrived for pursuing the negotiation proposed. The formal courtesy of dip lomatic procedure is preserved but a j the same time the entire tenor of the doo u ment is one of force and firmness. The government of the United States takes the position that negotiations are impos sible with a government wlrch cannot prevent hostilities against the foroes of the powers, which were sent to the Chi nese capital to save their envoys. As long as attacks are made on the troops of this and other governments such as have followed the occupation of Pekin and the attacks in the vicinity ot Tien Tsin, it is deemed that the Chinese government is either unwilling or unable to prevent these hostilities and for this reason negotiations must bo deferred. It etep In the direction of opening negotia tions No question is raised as to the au thority of Li Hung Chang to represent his government it is said that his creden tials, like those of all others who oome together for the purpose of negotiating terms of peace, will be examined by the respective representatives and the validi ty of the powers of each representative determined by that body. The United States, however, In communicating with M lnlster Wu recognizes him as the offic ial representative of the Chinese govern ment. Z~ Minister Wu reoeived the reply early this afternoon and work was immediately begun on its translation, ilrBt on the American text to the Chinese and thon from Chinese into the cipher. This took some time and it was not until late in the day that the reply was actually dis patohed. The most important develop ment of the day came “late in the after noon when the State Department made public a despatch from Minister Conger, dated at Pekin only three days ago, It was given out with the foltew ing state ment: The State Department authorizes the announcement of the receipt at an early hour this afternoon through the consul at Che Foo of a telegram from Mr. Con ger In the department cipher to the fol lowing effect: __ Pekin, August 19, “Secretary of Stai-e, Washington: “The entire city with the exception of the imperial palace is occupied by Japan ese, JUus3ia,n, British, Americans and Frdnoh. it is being apportioned Into dis tricts for police supervision, lhe Chinese army lied. The imperial family and the courtlhave gone westward, probably to bi An Fu in the province of Shen; no repre sentatives of the Chinese government are in sight in Pekin and the conditions are ohaotlo. The palace is expected to be taken immediately Many missionaries have started for home, while others re main in charge of the Christian refugees numbering about 1,000, (Signed) “Conger.” Mr. Conger's message was particularly welcome to the officiate in showing how completely the entire city is dominated by the allies. Mr. Conger’s statement that “the conditions are chaotic” was taken as another strong justification for the firm reply given to China today. He emphasizes thsfaot that the Chinose army has fied, the Imperial family and court have gone and no representative of the Chinese government is to foe seen in Pe kin. Minister Conger makes no mention of his desire to como home and It Is stated officially that this government has made the suggestion that he return to this country. Admiral Kemey reported early in the morning, bringing the story of the Pekin operation s up to the l(5th In Pekin and confirming the press report already prin ted of the death of gallant Captain liellly in the final assault on the outer walls of Pekin. Almost as Important as the Pekin news in today s despatch was the statement that the Boxers are again concentrating around Tien Tsln and that last Sunday morning the sixth cavalry with about 400 English and Japanese troops had a lively brush with the Boxers, eight miles out side of Tien Tsln, where about 100 of the Chinese were killed and five Americans wounded. The casualty list In this fight seems to indicate a sudden and total rout. The text of Admiral Kemey s des patch is as follows: “Che Foo, August 31,Taku, August 20 “Dickens command Is landing today. Pekin,16. All except imperial city cleared of Chinese troops American troops first to enter imperial city, have penetrated to the gates of the palace. Captain Keilly, Fifth artillery, killed on 16th. Morning 10th, Sixth cavalry and about 400 Eng lish and Japanese are dispersed. Aoout 1000 Boxers eight miles outside of Tien Tsln. About 100 Chinese killed, five Americans wounded. Chaffee’s losses, six killed and thirty wounded; two days fighting. “Kemey.” The signal office contributed Its quota to the news in thj following despatch from Major Scrlven, chief signal officer of the expedition, dated Pekin, August 17: ‘City occupied. All well. (Signed) “Scrlven.” The signal ollloe says that while this despatch was several days in coming through to Washington there is reason to believe that the military telegruph line Is now working in to the Chinese capital. It Is thought there soon will be a direct rrom the War Department to General Chaffee's head quarters at Pekin. The most Important despatch of the day was not made publio by the War Depart ment It was from General Chaffee and was dated the 18th and therefore was not a reply to the messagt*#f Inquiry sent to General Chaffee by the War Depart ment on Monday night. Still It answered a number of the inquiries containei In j that message. It dealt entirely with mill tary operations and conditions. While It cannot be said to have contained any bad news,and recorded the brilliant successes of the American troops who have borne themselves so gallantly in the assault on j Pekin, It contained enough as to the un- settled conditions In China and the pros pect of .ong and arduous work in restor-, ing peace,to form the jury for a consults- j tion of some hours between the President 1 and his advisers. It was hoped in official j circles that when General Chaffee should be heard from, he would report that the work of the American expeditionary force had been accomplished by the rescue of the ministers and that the blow struck at the Boxer Insurgents by the for eign column had dissipated the ^re!VOlu‘ tionlsts and left China with hands Tree to make her peace with the civilized world. Instead of this, however,General Chaffee had to report an utterly chaotic condition of affair s, and the capture of a capital whence all the heads of government had fled. There was nothing for the victors to do but to prevent anarchy by administering on this derelict of empire,which had fallen into their hands, Therefore the prospect opened up by General Chaffee's despatch Is that the American contingent of ne cessity will be detained in China for some time to come, probably for the whole winter. This will necessitate the hurried completion of preparations that already have been begun comfortably to subsist our army through the severe win ter weather which will soon close In on northern China. TIIE POLICE AT SEA. No Evidence in Scharn Murder Case. All Goitlp Centers About Murdered Girl’s Brother, New York,August 23.—The police seem to be ns much at sea as ever, concerning the murder of Katharine bchurn. A score or more of detectives [are busy on the case but do not report having made much progress in the unravelling of the mystery, All the gossip of the case continues to centre about Frederick Scharn. the mur dered girl’s young brother, who is still locked up but is to appear before Judge Fitzgerald tomorrow on a writ of habeas corpus secured by his attorney. On In spector Harley’s orders a small hall bed room window which has bloody finger marks on it, was today taken from the Scharn rooms to the police station as ev idence in the murder case. __ WIFE IS IN PORTLAND.

New York, August 28.—William Ryan, who says he was at one time head pro perty man at Keith’s theatre, in Boston, today tried to jump from the Brooklyn bridge, in an effort to commit suloide. A policeman prevented the leap in the nick of time. Ryan was out of work and de spondent and says his wife left him and went baok to her parents injPortland.Me. 15G0 Americans Capture Four Courts ot Imperial Abode, American Flag Flying Over the Imperial Granary. Tsung Li Yamen’s Request For an Armistice Refused. 3 Count Ton Waldersee Expects to Have a Long Job In China* London, August 23.—4 a. m.—“Today 1603 Americans attacked the imperial palace," says a despatch to the Morning Post from Pekin, dated August 16, “and captured four of the oourts. The Amer ican Hag Is flying over the imperial granary. The imperial bank has been looted." Describing events prior to the relief, the Morning Post correspondent cables: “On August 13 the Tsung Li Yamen requested a conference with a view to peace. No armistice was granted, how ever, and that night we endured the longest f usllade of the whole siege. It lasted 13 hours. “On August 13 the Tsung Li Yamen begged to be excused from'any conference saying that the members were too busy. Later they wroteHhat they had forbidden tiring on us and would court martial any who disobayeJ. During the evening many shells fell in the legation com pound." j The Daily Chronicle publishes an in- j terview with the Japanese minister in London, Kato Takaakl, which represents him as having said: “The Empress is the heart and soul of China. So long as she lives so long as she remains in China, whether the su preme power is taken from her or not,she will always be the greatest force, the only one above all others to be reckoned with. The difficulty will be to get any one who can speak for her. I fear that the Influence of Li Hung Chang is now of extremely little weight, “The powers must come to a final un derstanding quickly. Riots, anarchy, bloodshed and misery throughout China will be the Inevitable result of a policy that does not immediately disclose It self. The government must be re-estab lished." The Japanse envoy expressed his ap proval of the reported American sugges tion regarding a conference of the pow ers and said he believed that satisfactory pecuniary compensation could be secured if the resources of China were properly flotrol/vno.! definite the fact that her present revenues are pledged. Field Marshal Count Von Waliersee, according to the Daily Mail's correspon dent, expresses the opinion that his labors in China will he of long duration, “as pacification will be a difficult undertak ing.” Three hundred and seventy-five thous and Russian troops are already in the far east, or on the way there by land and sea, or under orders to embark. This statemsnt is made by the Moscow corres pondent of the Daily Graphic who adds that mobilization is in progress all over European Russia, and that there are now at Odessa 14 steamers chartered to take troops. According to a St. Petersburg special a telegram has been reoelved at the Rus sian capital from Shanghai announcing the departure of Li Hung Chang for Pekin. _ FROM MISSIONARIES. Some Important But Rather Mixed Cablegrams From Pekin. New York, Aug. 22—Tho first cable grams which have como to the mission boards in this city from Pekin siuce com munication was cut, over two months ago, arrived today. One of them was receivod by the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. It came from the Rev. Dr. Wherry of Pokin, and Was dated from Che Foo, where it is supnosed to have been sent via Tien Tsiu. It was as follows: “Mackey some converts marvelously saved. Property mission private totally destroyed. Wire friends.” Robert E. Spear, one of the secretaries of the board, commented ou this as follows: “Several words are mispelled. ‘Were’ for wire, ‘Wherry’ for wherry and ‘In culcate’ for inculcate, and the board’s cable address. There is much doubt as to the meaning of the message. The most hopeful interpretation is that it refers to Pao Ting Fu and that ‘some converts’ may be a mistake for ‘Sim coxes’. Perhaps the omission of the mention of Dr. and Mrs. Ilodgos, about whose location there has been some doubt, may imply that thoy were in Pekin and that Dr. Wherry supposed that this was known in Now York, or it is possible that it may refer to Pekin and be in reply to tlie cable sent from New York ou August 13, asking for names of Pao Ting Fu missionaries in Pekin and whether they are safe. Dr. Wherry, assuming that the board would know what missionaries of the regular force in Pekin were there, would need to be informed only of the presence of Dr, Maud Mackoy and of Mr. and Mrs. Simcox. At any rate it is clear that all the regular missionaries of the Presby terian church at Pekin and Dr. Mackey are safe and that the property either in Pekin or Pao Ting Fu is destroyed.” The Rev, Dr. A. B. Leonard of the Methodist missionary society also re ceived a cablegram from Pekin. It was as follows: ‘‘Pekin relieved. All members mission safe, well.” This was signed by the Rev. George Davis and the Rev. F. D. Gameweil. There were eighteen members of the Methodist mission in Pekin during the siege. EMPEROR REMAINED. Report That Only the Empress Pled Prom Pekin. Washington, August 22.—The Japanese legation has received a telegram dated August 21,from the foreign office at Tokio giving the following despatch received yesterday from the Japanese actin g con sul general at Shanghai: “A despatch received here from a Chi nese official atj Pao Ting Fu says that the Empress Dowager’ s orders, Hsui Yung Yi, Li Shan and Lien Yuen were executed on the 11th, and Yung Lu, who was to have shared the same fate, is now in a jail of the judicial department, and that the Emperor and the Empress Dowa 5er left Pekin on the 13th escorted by 'ung Fu Shiang troops, for Wu Taishan, via Chuchow and Tse Ching Kwan. Kang Ye, it is further stated, ha s been aopointed commander in ihlef of the Wu Wei army, while Princes Tuan and Chwang and Tsong Chi, Kang Yi and Hsui Tung have been ordered to remain at Pekin, ‘‘Another telegram dated the 16th has been received here from Pao Ting Fu, to the effect that though the Empress Dowager has left Pekin the Emperor has decided to remain behind.” NO COURIER SERVICE FROM SIAN FU. New York, August 22.—The cable com panies today sent out the following no tloe: “We are advised that the Great Northern Telegraph company announces the Chinese admlnistrtion gives notice that the courier service between Sian Fu and Pekin is suspended, the couriers hav ing been unable to pass.” CONGER TO BE RELIEVED. New York, August 22.—A despatch to the World from Washington, sava: The War Department sent General Chaffee a cablegram of four words this afternoon, which practically takes things out of Minister Conger's hands and puts Gener al Chaffee In the position ot utmost re sponsibility. The message said: “Report operations, situation, require ments.’' There Is no Intention of deprecating Minister Conger; the government has the liveliest sense of gratitude for him; but It Is not deemed expedient to act on his despatches heoause, alter his terrible ex perience, he is naturally biased and be cause he needs and deserves a rest. It is proposed to have Mr. Conger come home at the first opportunity ami enjoy a long period of rest and recuperation. MORE FIGHTING INEVITABLE. Washington, August 22 —The War De partment announced early in the day that it wa6 in receipt of a casualty list from General Chaffee, and this was made publio about noon. It was learned, how ever, that the Chaffee despatch contained a considerable amount ot' matter beside the list of killed and wounded, and was the subject of an extended White House conference between the President, Secretary Root, and Acting S eoretary of State Adee. It was hoped by the offic ials that the receipt of detailed news from General Chaffee Would simplify the situ ation considerably, and onable its gov ernment to map out, in a large degree,Its future line of action in China, This wae not the ease, however. General Chaffee’s telegram Indicated that there may yet be considerable heavy fighting around Pe kin, and between that city and the ooast. TROOPS WANTED AT SHANGHAI, New York, August 22.—The executive committee of the American Asiatic association have received the following cablegram from the American association of China at Shanghai, and have for warded it to the Secretary of State: “Situation Yang Tse valley increasing ly critical. Military estimate 16,000 troops needed, effectively to protect Shanghai. Urge government immediate; ly increase quota.' OUTSIDE"PEKIN. Belated Despatches From Associated Press Correspondent. (Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press.) In Camp, Outside Pekin, August 14. —(Presumably) via Che Foo, August 81. —Morning of the 14th, regiments of Jap anese, American, British and Russians reconnoiterlng along the four roads to wards Pekin yesterday were un-opposed, They established lines flvo miles from Pekin before the Fast wall whose towers are visible. The remainder of the army is arriving. There are no signs of the Chinese in front of Pekin, but there was heavy tiring there all night Probably the Chinese are attacking the legations in a desperate effort to crush them before the city falls. The heat is intense and marching soldiers suffer greatly. The foregoing despatch from the cor respondent of the Associated Press at Pekin was evidently written and sent off several hours earlier than the despatch dated August 14, and received In New York, Thursday night, giving the story of the rescue and the joyful reception of th e relief column. COMPLIMENT TO FOWLER. New York, Agusut 22 —The Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard of the Methodist Mis sionary sooiety, has received a letter from the Rev. Frederio Brown from Che Foo, in whioh a high compliment is paid to Consul Flower, as follows: “Che Foo is unsafe and we shall have to move soon. The place is full of refu gees and there Is only one consul worth anything—Consul Fowler of the United States. But for him SOU missionaries in this and other provinces would have bean left to fate. On~the arrival of 95 refugees today, three cheers were given for Fowler and groans for the British upstart. Both English and Canadians are disgusted with him. I wrote thus that you may bring this to the notice of Fowler’s superiors.' r CONGRATULATIONS TO CHAFFEE Washington, August 22.—The war de partment has made public the following: “War Department, August 22. “Major General Chaffee, Pekin, via 'iatju: _ “The President joins me In congratu lations to you and to officers and men of your command on the brilliant achievement in which the courage, forti tude and skill of the American forces in China have played so honorable a part. While mourning for your fallen comrades, the whole country Is proud and grateful for your great success. “Elihu Boot, Secretary of War.” REVOLVER DUEL At a Colored Picnic in Andover, Mans., Resulted In Murder. Andover, Mass., August 22.—At a col ored picnic at Shawsheen grove this after noon, a quarrel between George Daven port of Boston and Edward E. Janifer of Cambridge, culminated in a duel with revolvers, the result of which was the death of Davenport from a bxillet in the heart, the arrest of Janifer on the charge of murder, while William Norris, also of Boston received a stray bullet in the leg. As both Davenport and Janifer fired five shots at each otner there was something approaching a panic among the three or four hundred people in the grove and it is surprising that others were not hit. Both men had been drinking heavily but it is believed that the quarrel was an old one. Friends tried in vain to part the men, fearing serious results, but the pas sions of the two raged too high and after calling each other vile names, both pulled revolvers and began shooting. At, the fourth shot Davenport was hit in the nose and in the next he fell to the ground with a bullet in his heart, expiring soon after. Janifer was at once secured and taken before Judge Poor. He was ar raigned on the charge of murder, pleaded not guilty and was held without bail tor the September grand jury Norris, who caught the bullet in the leg, had the mis sile extracted by a local physician and was not seriously injured. Janifer, after being taken to the Lawrence jail, claimed that the shooting was in self-defense, Very little is known here of Davenport except thi-t he was of a roving disposi tion. JANIFEB’S GOOD "REPUTATION. _ xjosion, August —auwuru oumier, who shot George Davenport at Andover is well known In Cambridge, He is married and has two children. The police of Cambridge say that Jani fer is a quiet, unassuming, industrious fellow.

A study of the world will show that all countries are troubled with im perfect eyes. This is attributed to many causes. One ot the greatest dangers is incurred by children who study tco hard. If the eyes arejweak, they should be fitted with glasses at once.

Falls City, Neb., August 22.—This was a busy day for Mr. Bryan, it was after 1 o'clock this morning when he reached Auburn, his first stopping place, after leaving Lincoln. At 8 o’clock he made an hour’s address. At Tecumseh, the next stopping place, he spoke briefly, and after a hasty dinner, started upon a 31 mile drive across country to Pawnee. At Pawnee, as at Auburn and Tecumseh, there was a good attendance as there was also at the night meeting, held at this point. The towns visited are all in Mr. Bryan's old district. Mr. Bryan had the largest and most enthusiastic audience of the day at the evening meeting at Falls City. He paid his respects to Senator Hanna in the fol lowing extract: “This morning’s papers tell us that Mr. Hanna yesterday went down into New Jersey, the home of the trusts, to make a speech. Did he tell those Kepubiicaus down thor3 that the Kepab licau party was going to win and not to worry? Oh, no. He said to them: ‘Yon want to watch out. Don’t be over confident, /we have got"a great fight on hand. We have got to fight hard.’ “And then I can imagine I can see him put nis hand behind him and say: ‘Come down.’ “Isn’t that a good place for a man to go to scare the corporations into contri butions.” Mr. Bryan is to leave at 3.30 tomor row morning for Topeka, reaching that city at 1 03.

His Lawyers Are Pretty Successful So Far. New York, August 22.—Now that the attorneys for Charles F. W. Neely, formerly Cuban agent for the post office department, have filed an appeal to the United States supreme court and that their client cannot be taken to Cuba pending the appeal, it is learned from Neely’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, that his counsel has sworn that he believed the United States govern ment had made arrangements for the placing of the petitioner on board an army transport for immediate tr anspor tation to Cuba as soon as the necessary order for extradition had been signed ar.d the accused man secured and placed aboard ship. This plan, counsel averted, was to prevent the petitioners from applying for a writ of habeas corpus. U. S.

CARNEGIE STORY A KUMQR ONLY Boston, August 22 —Erving Winslow, secretary of the anti-imperialist league, when asked today regarding the report that Andrew Carnegie would take the stump for Bi’yan, said that lie regarded the matter as rumor ouly. The league at least knew nothing about it. RELY (h\ JOSES. Senator John P. is En listed for Bryan. Says The Oilier Senator Jones to Press. Teller is Also With the Bryan Hosts. As to Mr. Carnegie He Knows Nothing About Him. Chicago, August 23.—At Democratic national headquarters today, Senator J ones said: “I see a story printed in the newspapers today to the effect that ►Senator John 1J. Jon s has followed Senator Stewart in the liepublican camp and that Senator Teller of Colorado is showing the greatest indifference to the Bryan cause. I happen to have some def inite information concerning this matter and I pronounce both reports absolutely without any founla tlon. Senator J. P. Jones has bean entirely consistent in his views and actions for 25 years and he is heartily enlisted in the light for the Democratic party and for Mr. Bryan this year. We rely upon him implicitly. As for Senator Teller, we are in constant correspondence with him and I can say there is not a man at national headquart ers or in the Democratic party who man election and who has worked harder to accomplish it than has Senator Teller. The stories undoubtedly originated from Republican sources. But I am at loss to know why the Republicans should at one and the same time, declare that the one great issue in this campaign is the silver question, and also give out that all the old silver leaders are coming over to the Republican party ‘because there is no sil ver issue.' Senator Jones also said: ‘‘I notice a re port that Mr. Carnegie is going to return from Scotland and make some speeches for Bryan and Stevenson. This inform ation was given out by the anti-imperial ist league at Boston. I have no personal knowledge of the matter whatever. It may,or may not be true. There has been no communication with Mr. Carnegie on this subject on the part of the Democrat ic national committee.” THI 11TT -SECOND MAIN E. Annual Reunion at W aterboro Well Attended.

Would Have President Impeached. Cong. Fitzgerald Gives Talk on Prohibition. The Democrats of Portland opened their campaign last evening by a rally at Ci^y hall. There was a good attendance, although many vacant seats were on both the floor and in the galleries. Previous to the meeting Chandler’s band played a few selections in fr out of the hail, and at a few minutes before 8 o’clock the band went into the hall where it continued to discourse music until 8.30 o’clock. Just before George L. Swett called the meeting to order a num ber of well-known local Democrats took seats on the platform with the speakers of the eveninsz. Mr. Swett Introduced Gen. John J. Lynch, who spoke as fol lows General Lynch went on to say a great deal about imperialism and said that the time had now arrived when we must stand-by the declaration of independence ing to make a few eloquent and spread eagle remarks about love of home and country and the nres of liberty which must glow forever. It was good to hear, for General Lynch can be eloquent when he tries, and his words were uttered as though he believed what he was talking about Then he got down to the “hydra headed trusts. He said the Republican p arty and the trust are political and industrial Siamese twins. This was a new one to the crowd and they applauded this utter ance a good deal, Of course Gen. Lynch said that the only remedy for the trust evil was to elect Bryan, but he didn t say how Bryan would eliminate it if he had the chance. Now General Lynch got down to a point in his remarks which every Demo cratic orator must reach, that of the standing army. It sounded funny to hear General Lynch, above ail other men, talk ing about the dangers of standing armies and the fear that the Republican party intended to force a “large standing army!! on the country. General Lynch went on to talk about entangling allianc es, and this brought him to the expansion of our commerce, which he said would make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer. Then he struck Cuba, said a word for the Doers, and end ed by talking for five minutes about thWlemocratic candidate for the presidency. This tribute to Bryan was a good thing to bring out the applanse, which was as much a tribute to General Lynch’s eloquence as it was to Bryan. Gen. L^rnch^closed by introducing Hon. Gamaliel Bradford of Boston, one of the head men in the list of anti -imperial ists, Mr. Bradford is a gentleman well along in years. He is not a very inter esting talker, and while he was deliver ing his speech many people left the hall. As they went out they made considerable noise which plainly disturbed the speaker. Mr. Bradford frequently referred to his notes. lie began his remarks by saying that he hatl been rather reticent about com ing to Maine to speak in the state cam paign but in this year the national oampaign has been 6uch as to overshad ow state issues so that the state must take a back 89at. The whole Union is bending its eyes towards Maine in this campaign. “The issue is a plain one,’’ said Mr, Bradford. “It is whether this republic shall remain as such or shall have its great institutions thrown to the winds. The Republicans this year are willing to talk of everything except imperialism. But they can’t get rid ol it in this campaign.” The famous anti-imperialist then devoted considerable time to taking up several statements made by Senator Frye at Westbrook on Monday night, and said in conclusion of this part of his speech that he would be willing at any time to meet Senator Frye in joint de bate on the issues of the campaign. “Lincoln said,” continued Mr. Brad ford, as he branched oil to another line, “that no country could exist half slave and half free. Neither can any country exist one half republic and one half e'tn pire. When Congress says it can govern the outlying territories without the Constitution, it can also govern the states without the Constitution. The President at "Washington wanted wai and everythingfthey did was to bring on the war. The President had no righi Whatever to declare war and he could have been Impeached. Those natives with Aguinaldo gave us aid and he lpec Admiral Dowey on the assurance that they could have their in dependence. Take the government of Porto Rico It is a complete crowned government I didn't vote for Bryan in ’W5, as I wai then a firm believer in the gold standard But I believe Byran is sincere, There will not be any fear of disorder if he h elected.:’ After a selection by the band, Congresi John F. Fitzgerald of Boston was called upoi. The young congressman received the ova^pn of the evening, the crowd t according lilm the most liberal applause. “This is the first time for many years,” he said, “that I have had occa sion to address the Democri>jS of Port land, 1 was in Congress for two terms as the only Democratic representative from the New England States, and in that time received many requests from Democrats all over these states. So, in a "sense, you see that I represented you. In this last session of Congress I had a tilt with Jongressman Uittlefield of this state on the question o f prohibition in Hawaii, The representative from the Rockland district pointed to the prohibitory law in the state of Maine, and declared that no liquor was sold openly in this state. 1 stood on the floor and challenged the statement and named some of the places, among others a hotel in this city. Mr. Uittlefield had to ad mit that I was right. When liquor is sold openly in this state, when the sheriffs and police officers are bribed, how much confidence can be placed in the represen tatives which are sent to Washington from Maine? The Republican party, judged from the scenes that 1 have wit nessed at Washington, is a party of hypo crisy as it is i n the state of Maine. In the year 1899, in the state of New Jersey, trusts were organized which amounted to five billions of dollars, about one and one-naif billions of which were paid in. W hen the war was started and legisla tion asked to carry on the war, the Democrats proposed an income ta x in order to tax the wealth of the country and the nuge corporations. They asked the Republicans to join, but we were told that the Constitution had no right to do this.” The speaker then drifted off in o the recent Spanish war, saying that the sons of the wealthy senators got the commis lons; that scandals attached to the buying of the vessels, and that Egan had been retired on a salary which was more than he had been receiving, The action of the Republican party on the Porto_ Rican question was disgusting. They’ve got the uniforms of the United States soldiers on the Pori Ricans, but what rights are those people to get? “Sugar has been increased to one-half a cent a pound since Congress ad journed,” he said. “That means a mil lion dollars’ profit to the Sugar Trust. The other night a newspaper of Boston said that the Standard Oi 1 Trust would control the money of the United States the same as Cecil Rhodes does in South Afri ca.” The young Congressman concluded by calmly asserting that every piece of legislation tha t had ever been secured favorable to the workingman had resulted solely through the efforts of the Democratic party. RALLY AT GRAY. Mr. Ciiosvraor ftiul lion. Ricliard Wrltb the Speakers. [SPECIAIj to the press.] Gray, August 22 —An enthusiastic Kepubiican rally was held here this even ing the speaker^ being Hon. Klchard Webb of Portland, and Hon. 0. H. Gros-. venor of Ohio. The hall was well filled when the meeting was called to order Mr. John M. Kibbv presided. Mr. Webb was the first to address the audience, he spoke, in part, as follows: One might reasonably conclude that the paramount issue of the campaign is the free coinage of silver, if he based hi3 opinion upon the proceedings of the Kan sas City convention, or upon the history of the Democratic party for the last four years, or upon the record of its candidate since he iirst emerged from obscurity. The principal question upon which the delegates to the convention were divided was not whether the party was in favor of free coinage, but whether it was wise and expedient to say so. Belief in free coinage has been and still is the sole standard of party membership, and what ever else a man may believe, if ho be not sound on their unsound money theory it proilteth him nothing, for he is but a gold oug The action of the party speaks louder than its words, and declares that j the paramount of paramount issues is free coinage. Never was a man and an idea more firmly wedded than Bryan and free coinage, ills advocaoy of this idea has been for years his principal means of livelihood, and it is the one thing that has made him famous and toe leader of a great party. Nevertheless, the convention has the effrontery to declare that the para mount issue is not free coinage, but im perialism. ft is of course true that the manner in which the Kepubiican party Uas met the new questions which have arisen during the last four years is properly submitted to the people tor their approval. Ijet us compare the policy oi the administration with the one which the Democratic plat form offers in its place. After referring briefly to the principal facts in the Spanish war and to the negotiations for ptaoe, Mr. Webb said, “we could not abandon the people ot the Philippines to the vengeance of Spain, or to the evils of anarchy and disorder. Wo had over thrown an existing government. A government re-established Dy Spain would have contained all the misrule characteristic of that nation. It would have been just like the government of Cuba, the sins of which had caused the war. Spanish rule there had been so bad that we took up arms to overthrow it, and when our arms had heen successful V> O 1JUO UUilMDWUUJJ WiiM'lJb blKll il similar rule should be re-established over auy territory then under our military control. A responsibility had become fixed upon us ny the law of nations re garding successful belligerents, and how ever much we may have wished to shirk it and however hard we may have tried to avoid it, we could not honorably refuse to assume it.r’ Assumption of this responsibility re quired the approval of both branches of Congress. A two-thirds vote of the Senate was neoessary for the ratification oi the treaty. Without Democratic assis tanee the treaty would have been beaten, and largely owing to Mr. Bryan’s per sonal activity seventeen Democratic Sena tors vote in favor of it. This settled the queston of expansion. The war was end ed and new responsibilities assumed through the deliberate action of men of both parties. The insurrection in ttu Philippines was not a general uprising 01 the people, the large majority of whom are perfectly content to accept our rule It was the Tagals ouly who revolted, anc they comprise less than one-lifth of the population. Their leader never sought tRk. at pleasure to tell you of the benefit my daughter has received from theuseof Lydia E. Pinkhaufs Vegetable Com pound. After beginning the use of your medicine she began to mend rapidly and is now able to be at her work. Her menses are regular and almost painless.

September IS, 1S99. policy ol the party with regard to the Philippines but it also declares in favor of certain fundamental principles not at all consistent with this policy. It de clares that to Impose upon any people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperialism for those of a re public.'’ It is obvious that it the us of force is to be forbidden in the establish menfc of a government, no government whatever can be established there by us in the face of any opposition. Since there is opposition, alt hough It is the opposi tion of ouly a minority* application of this principle means the immediate with drawal of the American forces and the entire abandonment of the islands. This is the precise course of action desired by Aguinaldo, and is the policy advocated by many Democratic stump speakers. But the platform instead of declaring in favor of abandonment declares It to be our first duty to give to the Filipinos a stable form of government. Now, this is exactly what President McKinley ha been trying to do from the beginning and although evex-y act of the adminis tration having this end in view, they have denounced and in their platform declares to be imperialistic, it turns out to be the very thing that they themselves are in favor of. “The fact Is there is no such issue as imperialism The Kepublican party never intended nor desiivd to found an empire, nor does any party or any indi vidual have any such intention or desire. To suggest such a thing is a perfect ?i> sxirdlty, and is but dust thrown intis peopled eyes to blind them t-o real and to make people forget that the i.aVj mocracy is still tne party of the revolu tionary Chicago platform, that it is still the party of lltty cent dollars and of list monov. and the party who assails the in tegrity of the courts and iissaulte the financial credit and honor of the nation.1’ He was followed by Gen. Grosvenw, who discussed the currency question and the tariff and showed h ow the country had prospered under Kepublican administration. ISO ARRKST YET.

Jfretta and Jeanette Winners of the Horse Race; Cornish, August &2.—It was a typical 'ornish fair today, superb weather until j o’clock, good races and lully 40U01 pectatora being present. Tuesday Is never a big day here, but Wednesday and Thursday raroly fail to i lako up a big average. In fact, this fair oustitutes one of the liveliest* 'Old Home" j reeks of any in Maine, and has been or years. There jure hundreds of former Issipee Valley residents In Portland, i ilassacbusetts, New Hampshire and it her states and cities Many of th&se, j Fith their friends,come to Cornish during air week. It is the nearest to excitement r any event of their vacations and they I re very welcome; they enjoy this feature i country life in tne State of Malnu. Tuesday was cattle day and today j lorso day. Scores of good bloo 1 mares, took horses, and colts, were shown, and j he sweep.,takes, draught oxen, were also [added. It was an animated enclosure os re* rlwed from the grand stand and judges’ j land, at 1 50, when the first horse event j started. There was a grand stand full of People, the west side of the track densely kronged and there was a string of carriages all around the Inside of the tenco. Music was confined to the limited I repertoire of the merry-go-round’s spirited strains. Fakirs abound, but not i questionable attraction is on the grounds. The association has steadily preferred its state stipend and unsullied reputation to the permission of all sorts of unsavory schemes, gambling devices and frauds which some managements consider essential to a successful fair. The strongest beverages obtainable are ginger ale and spruce beer. The seven starters of the 2.38 class got away on the first score. The drivers know starter Isaiah K. Morrill or Brunswick, and realize what- he means when he says, “Get down together.” The first heat was over at 2 o’clock amj 45 minutes later the 2 22 horses had been a heat and were under blan kets ana headed for their stalls. Pike's Peak went away at the pole; then Lillian M., Deacon, (Star Boone, Major, Alfred and Snip D. The gray mare was far and away too fast for the field and went up from sixth place to the front in a third of a mile. She drew fully eight lengths and was not bothered for the mile. The rest were unsteady and broke repeatedly. The mars walked home In 2.81 1-2, Pike’s Peak and Snip D., fighting for second place, the former wlnn ing. Star Boone was fourth, then Lillian M,, Deacon and Mnini* Alfreds had thing? all her own way In the second heat and there was a race for the next best premiums. Major was the second at the finish by a good mar gin, then Snip D., Pike’s Peak, Deacon and Star Boone. Lillian M. rabitted and got the Vermillion banner. Time, 2.32 1-2. Alfreda was never in company the last heat and Major was a good second, also Snip D. and Pike’s Peak next. Tne other two were shut out. Time, 2 31 1-4. A rattling field came to the wire to fight for the $200 for the four best ones in the 2 22 class. Benny, a local horse, was a favorite with the crowd, and Driver Foss got a warm hand when he drove down as did Eva W., driven by O. W. Ramsey, who won many llrst monies with Blacksmith some years ago The others were Lucky Boy, Sorrel Jim, Woven Wire and Janet, with Eva at the pole, Janet second and Benny third. After scoring for Woven Wire several times, Sorrel Jim was upset by a colli sion, turning to ooine down. He ran the opposite way, having spilled Driver I. W. Rowe, and got tangled in his hopples so he could not run very fast. Dr. F. B. Gage, otj Portland, ran through the judges’ Btand across the oval, leaped on the traok, sped alongside the animal, grabbed his bridle and stopped him. GRAiN-0 Grain-O is not a stimu lant, like coffee. It is a tonic and its effects are permanent. A successful substitute for coffee, because it has the coffee flavor that al most everybody likes. Lots oi coffee substi tutes in the market, but only one food drink— Grain-O. All grocers 16c. and 25o» Ifc was a cool and well managed bit of work and the young man was liberally tppiauded for his effort, Tlid hojpse was icaroeiy scratched, but the suiky was w recked. They were badly delayed, about an hour, but got away at 2.45, and it was i spanking heat. It was a good start tnd the pace was a killer from tke Wire. Eva was off at the foot of the back stretch, and Lucky Boy set the pace a 1 darter. Sorrel Jim came up when he got around the hunoh- It was nip and tuck with Janet until she draw away from the chestnut, who was a little on edge because of his run. K W. raced her home and was second, Benny, who had paced a pretty heat, third; Lucky Koy.iWoven Wire and Sorrel Jim. Time, 2.28 1-2, Janet proved equal to the con traot cut out for her In the second heat, and was sternly as a Pullman car from wire to wire, with the roan maro second over Lucky Roy, in a drive on the stretch with Benny fourth, after making a break and losing six lengths. Woven Wire was fifth over Sorrel Jim by about a nose. Time, 2.24. Benny was faster than before in the third heat ami was in_the game from the word and came along in second place with the bay maro to the stretch. It was a thrilling drive, but the local horse had a length to the good and the applause and cheering were exciting. Just at this minute the rain oame down in tor rents and the horses were raced to the barn and didn't come out again. After hair an hour's wait the race was postponed until 1 o’clock Thursday when it is expected by the local people that Benny will win. There are two line events for Thursday also, with large fields of fast horses. The boys from Wildmere, very genial and gentlemanly young fellows and students in Friends school, Providence, beat the Cornish boys at base bail, 7 to 5, and also ran sack raoes, a hundred yards dash and halt mile.

PORTLAND THEATRE. Manager T. W. Dinkins of “The Utop ians,” whlcn will be seen at the Portland theatre for one week, commencing on Friday evening, has been singularly fortunate in securing artists for the olio who are far above the average witnessed with the ordinary burlesque companies. Of the burlesque much has been said and written, but it must be seen to be appreciated. Good music, comedy of the genuine sort, fun, wit, beauty gor geous dresses and magnificent scenery are the main features which have earned the higest praise from theatrical critics all over the country. The opening burlesque “In Grand Utopia.” calls for 16 handsome ladles in the character of “Pierrettes,” whose new songs, medleys, dances will surely be a revelation to the amusement loving public. McCULLUM’S THEATRE. The performances yesterday at McCul lum’s theatra were witnessed by splendid houses. The approbation of all present was emphatically demonstrated. The ringing applause that follows the fall of the curtain after each act and continues until after the re-call, and the rapt at tention that represents the intense inter est in the story as the diabolical plots of Iago are consummated, and the love yi UuilOJlU lUi B/OOUOUUIVJUMI| uwugivimoa to a sorrowful loathing, culminating In her tragic death, denotes supreme enjoy ment and pleasure over the splendid dramatic treat. Nothing can b9 said ex cept in praise of Stephen Wright’s pro trayai of Othello. Maud Edna llall as JJesdemona, and Genevieve Reynolds as Amelia, present artistic portrayals. The production is notably elegant in appointment and cannot fail to prove a delightful treat to everybody at least inclined toward the artistic drama. AT THE GEM. To use a theatrical phrase, the Tre inont theatre company have caught on with the theatre-goers of Portland and vicinity. This oharmlng summer theatre has been doing a fine business since the advent of the new company. “Aristocracy,” Bronson Howard's de lightful comedy, when presented by such a comnany of players at Messrs. Gllmour and Roderlquiz have selected, could not do otherwise. Mr. Gllmour will be remembered as the support of Julia Marlowe when “Barbara Frltohie” was played in New York and Boston. He was also the principal in the Sowing the Wind” company. This week's play will undoubtedly pack the house to the doors judging by the way the telephone orders come in for seats, Bast night there was a brilliant thea tre party from the Ottawa house and Cushing’s Island, and also a large party from the Peaks Island house. At the matinee there was a party of young ladles from the city who were chaperoned by some club ladles. It will be well to secure seats as quickly as possible, not only for this week but for any evening or matinee during the engagement. PIANO RECITAL, At thejpiano warerooms of Cressey, Jones Allen, Baxter block, a piano recital was given last evening by Mas ter Miner Walden Gallup, a pupil of Mr. Frederic Mariner of the Virgil piano school, 139 West 15th street, New York city. This was the programme: gpnata—Op, 10, No. 2, Beethoven Waltz, Prelude, Concert Sonata, Moment Musical, Hunting Song, Hondo Oapricols, Mendelssohn The boy is about 14 years old and has studied 15 months only, yet his repertoire includes 40 pieces. Hy ftas played in over J00 concert? from Georgia and South Carolina to Maine, having accom plished more in the time he has studied than any pupil in the school. His techique is phenomenal and his numbers were listened to last evening with appre ciative interest by a goodly number of our music-loving people. lilVERTON PARK. The greatest feature ever seen at River ton park Is the dancing act of Solaret, Queen of Light, appearing with the Co lumbia Vaudeville company and the Ma tus Royal Hungarian orohestra, this week. Although every vaudeville act on the bill is above the average the act of Solaret is superior to all. Although all four dances are marvellous oreations it is in the fire dance that we see the culmina tion of the electrician’s skill, and the triumph of the artist’s masterly hand ling of colors, the dancer s seemingly al most inspired realization of what may be termed the sentiment of the dance and her grasp of its possibilities. How dra matic is the picture as the dancer stand3 there in the center of the stage, while curling wreaths of smoke arise like in cense about her, and with uplifted hand seems to appeal for salvation from the de vouring flames chat beglu to ris9 about her feet. It is almost too intensely real istic, and is a sight never to be forgotten. Then'the weird and uncanny swiftly re place the dramatic, as with movements that might seam to depict torture were they not so graceful, the dancer waves her Ueecy garments toward which tongues of flame leap up from the stage until she seems to be enveloped in thair devouring embrace. Then thev annear to die out as the smoke of the devouring smoulder ing fire again rises and partly conceals the figure of Its victim. Again and with inoreasad violence, while all the colors of fire .seem to be battling with each other in an unearthly contest for supremacy, the flames burst forth and wildly chase each other in every direction, seemingly as If Pluto himself wero feeding them with the alchemist’s mysterious pow ders There still stands beautiful Solar et, apparently resistless to the consuming power, and yet like a fairy goddess or elfin enchantress withstanding unscathed its raging force, until at last, as if sud denly struck down by a witherl ug blast, while the flames, their greedy wrath appeased os suddenly die out and Solaret has gone But the memory will long remain. "VERY LITTLE FAUST.” One of the biggest productions on the road this season is the operatic travesty “Very Little Faust” which is going to open at the Jefferson tonight for the bal ance of the week, including Saturday matinee. It will be given by the same immense cast that has been playing it at the Columbia theatre, Boston, for six weeks, including the ever popular Otis Harlan, who has made us laugh on occa sions by his ludicrous, though always clean work tn Hoyt's “A Black Sheep'* and “A Stranger in New York.” Miss Mamie Gilroy, the charming little come dienne is also with this splendid organi zation, together with Miss Kate Condon, the beautiful contralto singer, who is a protege of Jessie Bartlett Davis and on of the great operatic finds of many sea sons. Miss Condon will remain with the company only until the first of Ootober, as she is under contract with Maurice Grau for the Grand Opera Company at the Metropolitan Opera house, New York city. UNDERWOOD SPRING The Fadettes yesterday gave their new programme and interested large audi ences. Of selections the “Two American Dances'* was played for the first time In this vicinity, being entirely new. The Sousa march, “The National Fencibles” has not been played before this season, -as also the Pizzicato and “Echoes of the Ball.” The music for both afternoon and evening today will be the same Th8 vaudeville has made a hit this week, as it ought to, for It is the best yet pro vided at this resort. Fox and Ward, those old-time favorites of the minstrel stage, give a most laughable sketch, that earns a recall at each performance. The dog Chicago has become a general favorite, on account of his unusual intelligence. These are fine days and evenings tor a visit to Underwood, and they should be improved while they last, for the season is drawing to a close, and there w ill not be many more opportunities. NOTES, The letter M seems to be a charm In the dramatic world. A larger number of our stars are In ‘exed under It than under any other letter. Among them are: Klchard Mansfield. Julia Marlowe, He lena Modjeska, Tim Murphy, Mary Man nering, Maggie Mitchell and Henry Mil ler, lii the company of the great ones of the past: Macklin, Maoready, Mossop, Matthews, Munorlell, Munden, John Mc Cullough Frank Mayo and James E. Murdock. Lottie Wllllams-Salter, who gained quite a reputation last season through the fact that she played every female role In Broadhurst's “Why Smith Left Home,” has refused, through her agent, Jennie Jacobs, an offer to create the part of Innocent Kidd in the forthcoming London production of “A Parlor Match,” as she is under contract to ap pear In a big Now York production early In November. Andrew Mack, tho^ singing comedian, opened the theatrical season at the New York Academy of Music in “The Heb ei, a new play of the Irish rebellion of 1708, and Mr. Mack's admirers gave him a royal welcome. Marguerite Urquhart, recently Con stance in “The Musketeers,” with Paul (Jllmore, has been specially engaged to appear with the Tremont theatre Stock company in place of Kitty Wilson The first production of Hugh P. Mc Nally’s “Hobinson Crusoe,” by George W. Wilson and company will be at Ban gor, Me., Sept. 3, It is predicted that Della Fox will make one of her old time hits in the song “ff Cabby Told Half That He Knows,” in “The Kogers Brothers in Central Park.” In this specialty she will be cos tumed as a swell cabman and will be as sisted by twelve very handsome girls, George Osborne, who was engaged to play Simonies in Ben Hur, h as been forced to retire from the cast through temporary illness, Emmett Corrigan, who played llderim, and, later, Ben Hur, last season, has been engaged to play Simonides, Frank McKee has made another wise selection for the cast that will support Mary Mannering in “Janloe Meredith,” lie has engaged Vivian Bernard for the negro character of “Sufcey.” Miss Ber nard has made several hits In negro roles and has originated many such parts in j New York production* during the past ten year*. __ MISCEJL.I.AWKOUS.

The audience was fair, but the speakers fell far short of expectation. The spectre of empire must be exhibited more effectively than Mr. Bradford exhibited it before anybody Will be seriously frightened. Mr, Bradford disagrees with Bryan on free sliver and disagrees with him on the management of trusts, nevertheless he thinks Mr. Bryan is laboring for what he believes to bo tte interests of the people. Suppose he does, how does that help the matterf If a physician administers pol son believing that it is good medicine does the belief on his part help the pa tient any The Hon. Gamaliel Bradford declarec last night that he was perfectly certain that Bryan was to be elected President in November, and the Hon. John F. Fitz gerald, not to be outdone, affirmed that he believed that Mr. Lynch was to be elected to Congress. Later on both ol them will probably have occasion to ex plain how their predictions didn't hap pen to be verified. That panther story which comes from Rome in this State looks as if it might have been invented to keep people out ol a blueberry pasture, Think of a panther getting so wound up in a woman's skirts that he could with difficulty extri cate himself. Imagine him also consid erately standing still while a man whacked him over the head. We are in clined to think that this story will pro ve too thin to protect the blueberries, Bryan's stand in his Indianapolis speech has practically destroyed all chance of his carrying any of the Pacific coast states. There expansion is exceed ingly popular, the people believing that it is going to result ultimately in great commercial benefit to their section. Four years ago ha got one elector in California and those of the state of Oregon. This year it is safe to predict that he will get none in either state Mr. Bryan is discovering early in the campaign that it is exceedingly difficult tc serve two masters. When he pleased the Democrats by assenting to the para mountcy of the anti-imperialism issue he displeased the Populists because the paramount issue in their opinion was free silver. The result has been that al ready several of the Populist leaders like Peffer and Senator Stewart have aban doned him and announced their inten tion to vote for McKinley. Today Mr. Bryan makes his formal reply to the nl rint.itinnfJA'n r\F fhn i;nfn he is their nominee for President. What he is going to say is conjectural, but it is rumored that he will press upon them the importance of anti-imperialism, and give free sliver a subordinate place. I i he actually does this we may look for more secessions. Of course he would Ilka to exalt free silver for the purpose of holding the Populist vote, but he can not do that without great danger of driv ing off a good many Democrats in the East who have consented to support him because he seemed to subordinate free sil ver in his Indianapolis speech. As he has got to jump into a bramble bush any way he proposes to choose the one which he thinks will scratch him the least. No European nation has declared in any very definite way what its future pol icy is to be in China, but it is clear enough from their operations that none of them expects to withdraw from the country very soon, liussia has already in her fighting with the Chinese con quered the right bank of the Ameer river, and no longer admits that river as the boundary of her possessions. Certainly Kussia will never give up the territory that if] has already wrested from the Chinese unless compelled to by force. Where she is she will stay. England has landed troops at Shanghai, and France is said to be preparing to do the same. The speech of the German emperor at the de parture of Count Waldersee clearly fore shadowed operations outside of Pekin. These are all signs that the European powers have designs upon the territory of China, though the exact nature and ex tent of them may not be quite clearly de fined in their own minds. Doubtless England, and perhaps France, would much prefer that there should be no dis memberment or partition of the Empire, but if liussia and Germany go to grab bing England will not hesitate to follow. As for the United States, though we have repeatedly declared that we seek no territory in China, the chances are that if the European powersjbegin to ap propriate territory or spheres of influ ence there will soon grow un here a de manil from powerful interests that we shall not permit ourselves to get left, We fffbilsh elsewhere a communication from a prominent llepublican protesting against the re-election of the present sheriff because he has uot enforced the liquor law and has declared that he did not intend to enforce it. We believe that there Is no room for controversy in regard to these allegations. We do not suppose that it is claimed anywhere that the sheriff has enforced the law according to lt9 spirit, and the authority for the state ment that he never intended to is an in terview with the sheriff' himself in which h9 so declared. The only questions are whether an executive officer ought to be punished for not enforcing the laws or for declaring that he never intended to enforce the laws. There would seem at first blush to be but one answer to these questions. But it must be borne in mind that for the past twenty-five years the people of this county have been teaching by their votes that it was not only per missible for a sheriff to neglect the en forcement of the liquor law, but was commendable for him to do so. No sher iff was ever defeated because he neglect ed the law, but one barely escaped by the skin of his teeth because he had enforced it, and ho so well learned the lesson of the result that he did not enforce it any more. When the public rewards for neg lect and punishes for faithful perform ance, and continues this method for a quarter of a century, is it to be wondered at that an officer comes to the eonclu s’on that he can serve the public more satisfactorily by neglect than by observ ance, and can he really be very much blamed for adopting the former rather than the latter? As for the declaration that he did not intend to enforce the law according to its spirit—but only to put money in the treasury—Isn't the sheriff who made it rather to be commended for his frankness? Ought wo not really to be thankful that we have a sheriff who is no hypocrite, one who frankly declares chat he does not intend to enforce the law and then scrupulously lives up to his purpose? CURRENT COMMENT. MCKINLEY DIPLOMACY. (Chicago Times-Herald.) One of the finest chapters in the history of diplomacy is brought to an end by the entry of the allied army into the city o f Pekin. As we look back upon the policy and conduct of the United States govern ment during the great Oriental crisis we can find nothing to censure, while there is abundant cause for praise—so abund ant that it is difficult to deoide upon the most important subject for commenda tion. If we consider simply our position as a world power and the light in which we are regarded by foreign nations, then we shoula say that the most remarkable phase of the whole remarkable episode was the capacity for taking the initiative which was demonstrated at Washington, and the tremendous influence which it exerted upon the policies of other coun tries It was the story of the “open door" over again. A MAN TO MAKE PEACE. (Boston Advertiser.) If Pres, McKinley wants to find the best man to act in drawing up the peace treaty with China, he should pick out .1 W. Foster of Indiana. The successor of Blaine as secretary of state is the best trained diplomat in the United States. As United States minister to St. Peters burg, he won the absolute respect and confidence of Russia. In the Canadian negotiations he has won a similar sentl ment from the British government. He made, at Shimonoseki, the peace treaty between Japan and China, which was highly satisfactory to all concerned. He is one of the world’s highest living au thorities on all questions of International law, a thorough American and not a jin go. No other man is so well fitted for the place. CAMPAIGN RUBBISH. (From the New Bedford Standard.) Both the great parties are running lit erary bureaus, and we suspect that in some cases the stuff that they prepare finds favor with editors who are either over-worked or over-easy. But most of it is sad rot, and whichever side wins will have no occasion to thank its literary staff for the result. The newspaper men who are in the practical business of news paper making are in a far better position to know what the reading public needs in the way of political reading matter and advice than these men who are saturated with the fif.mosnherA nf a mlitinol quarters. Still, the operation gives some worthy and nsedy young men a good job for the season. THE NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY. to the Editor of the Press: Two great national parties are contend ing for supremacy They are so equally balanced that the result is doubtful. Four years ago 23 states gave their elec toral votes for McKinley; 23 states for Bryan. A change of fifty thousand votes in the five states wherein the contest was most close, would have turned the scale. Every effort Is now being made to draw to the respective parties all classes of voters. The Hollanders, Germans, Irish, Canadians, are each and all appealed to for support. Farmers, miners, merchants bankers, manufacturers, operatives, labor unions, are all made the subjects of im passioned declamation. Hut fourteen million American citizens of the United States of voting age are wholly overlooked because they are women. Tnese fourteen million American citi zens may be made voters in any presiden tial election In every state, by legislative enactment, without any change of consti tutions, state or national, by a simple change in state election laws. “Each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct” the presi dential electors. Even without votes, women are so numerous, and so intimate ly associated with voters, that they could easily turn the scale in every community between the parties struggling for supremacy. Their sympathy and good will, if enlisted, would ensure the suc cess of the Darty which should espouse their cause. They are of'.our own race educated, enlightened, responsible per sons; graduates of our schools and col leges, ‘readers of our newspapers, mem bers of our churches, taxpayers, property owners; moral, law-abiding; three fourths of our teachers; our mothers wives, sisters and daughters. They only wait to be asked to vote, and would re spond witn alacrity and enthusiasm a is evidenced by the fact that in the four states where they are already enfranenised they vote habitually more generally than lio the men. The fatuity of party leaders in ignoring this great body of citizens is simply -o- in* stance of arrest, of political thought ever manifested. We talk of Chinese stupidi ty; but that is far more easily explained Never having voted themselves they know nothing of the power of en lightened public opinion. They have had no experience of representative govern ment But with us it is altogether different Our politicians are fully aware of the power of the ballot. Their trade is the manipulation oi votes. They stand or fall by their success or failure in securing majorities A frank, outspoken declaration of pur pose to enfranchise educated women would be in direct accord with the pro fessed principles of both the great na tional parties Eight ysars ago and again four years ago the Republican party in its platforms has in express terms declared its purpose to secure a vote for “every citizen of the United States.:: Of course that includes everv woman, for every woman is a citizen of the United States. But the inen~ who adopted this platform probably did not mean to include women. The Democratic party this year de clares anti-imperialism to be “the domi nant issue.7’ Now, the disfranchisement of women is the most flagrant form of imperialism. But the despotic o-overn. ment which is unjust for an uneducated S ilipino, is considered good enough for an American woman. This absurd inconsistency is not inten tional dishonesty; it is simply preimlirn and routine. One of these days J some great party leader will have the sense and courage to sound the trumpet of wom an's emancipation, and the walls of the political Jericho will fall forever HENRY B. BLACKWELL. Dorchester, Mass., Aug. 9, 1900 HUNTING FOR SMAL.D POINT COAL Bath, August S3.—Another attempt is to be made to linci coal at Small Point. A diver has been engaged to be here about the first week of September. Work will be commenced out on the water and an ondeavor made to find the reef or ledge from which the coal comes that is washed ashore occasionally after heavy storms. Something over 3000 acres of land adjacent to the shore have been bonded by Messrs. Geo. W. Hunt and James W. Kelley. If thay are successful in finding coal enough for operating mines, they have the privilege of buying this land outright. In case rcoal is found a shaft will have to be sunk on shore and in a tunnel run out uncer the sea, "as is the case in several other mines. Mr. Kelley has received about $1000 in subscriptions for carrying on the work of locating the vein and he intends to make it $1500. Prof. Lee of Bowdoin says the coal washed ashore is better’than the Nova Scotia coal. His opinion is chances are slim tor finding coal in commercial quantities. While there are indications of coal there, the absence of slate is much against the chance of coal in any large amount. THE SHERIFF QUESTION. An Appeal to tfee Citizens of Cumber* land County Regardless of Party. On the 10th day of September, voters of Cumberland county will be called upon to register their votes for the election of sheriff of this county. Of the three can didates in the field, one has been tried and found “wanting, and recreant to his duties and to his oath of office, and while the party which eleoted him to office had incorporated in their platform a strong plank in favor of temper ance, in spite of the fact that this high officer chooses to ignore it, and openly says he intends to do so, and as the ltepubllcan politicians with the aid of the rum element have nominated this same man for continuance in office, does it not become all citizens, regardless of party, who believe that obedience to law is one of the hrst principles of good citi zenship, to unite upon a candidate of different convictions. In the selection of a Citizens’ candidate, it is important that he should be one who has strong convic tions of duty and ot what he owes the party which places him in his offioe, Tn the selection of Samuel F. Pearson as the people's candidate, you have a man who for the past twenty years has devoted his life to the effort of helping the unfortu nate classes, that the rum traffic has kept under its influence. If you elect him to the office of sheriff, you will place in power one who has only the general good of the community at heart, and whose whole duty will be done, and the position or the office ot sheriii will not be the subject of ridicule or of charges of bribery. That a large majority of the cit izens of this county are in favor of a change in the conditions of the adminis tration of the affairs of the sheriff’s office, I most firmly believe. Of the third candidate, I can only leave it for those who read the report of the convention by which he was nominated to judge why he accepted the nomination, Yours truly, ZEN AS THOMPSON.

c Good Speeches and J Much Enthusiasm. __ i

junior Lodge’s Eloquent and Scholarly Address. i m Imperialism a Bogus 1 Issue He Says.

IfStrs. McCall, King, Fairchild Also -Speak. ___________ The Republicans of York and Cumber kxui held an old-fashioned political rally m Okt Orchard camp grounds yesterday afternoon. It was a success In every particular. Four of the most eloquent and distinguished men who ure cam paigning through the state were heard in the two hours and a half, and the en thusiasm from the beginning was un bCEadtd. The meeting waB held in the ram pg round which was relinquished for IW afternoon by the Salvation Army. iSvsrr seat in this ground was occupied, anti in this natural amphitheatre were crowded thousands of men and women, there was a band present, but it wasn’t given much of a chance to distinguish itself. The Lincoln club was there to the namber of several hundred, and its mem fears did have a chance to distinguish themsilves. They marched from the hotel on tbs beach where the speakers were qgartm-u, to the catnoground, headed by Col John L. Prindable, and the l>and. huh man carried a flag and they Aeemi at the slightest provocatio n «wyone and everything. It added just what wns needed to this gathering to dart the enthusiasm. But this big crowd of hundreds of pg'U- did notj lack for other things to fcb resti them. They heard a combination |pdf speakers which It would be dltlicult to rim prove upon. There was Senator bodge I from Massachusetts, whose address was k scholarly, brimming over with crisp ut terances and eloquent paragraphs. There was Lee Fairchild of California, whom every man and woman in Western Maine has been given a chance to heur In the bat four yea a. Mis method of combin ing facts with fun, word pictures wdth cold statistics and witty metaphors with campaign arguments, makes him worth bearing any time. Then there was Uen. Adam K. King of Maryland, as (rotor of the old school, who makes a speech as he would lead a cavalry charge, who starts in like a lamb and won becomes a lion, whose eloquence enthuses the audience and himself at the same time, and wise patriotic utter aut'g never fail to bring out cheers. Last, and by no means least, is Congressman MeCall of Massachusetts, whe talks with the light of experience and knowledge, gusea on tne noor ox tne no use ox Kepreseutatives, and whose logical argu ments will surely bear fruit before the campaign is ended. This was the quartette of speakers. Es.-Oov.Cteaves opened the ball in his characteristic style, and his opening spotch, though brief, was sufficient to ian the embers of enthusiasm into a glowing blaze. Previous to his speech Bov. Cleaves was presented with a hand some bouquet from the Lincoln club by Wilbur C. Whelden, JSsq., who performed his task very gracefully. At the conclu sion of his address Gov. Cleaves intro duced Senator Lodge,; who was given a warm reception by the Lincoln club and the big crowd. Senator Lodge began by saying that 13 years ago he stood on this same platform with James U. Blaine. Here he heard that great statesman speak In the inter ests of his country' and of the people. Soon after that Blaine was made Secre tory of Htate for the second time. Then we were just beginning to turn our eyes beyond our own borders and having settled problems at home were looking around to settle those problems abroad which had been threatening us for so ,(>ngatime. Under that administration with Blaine in the chair of the Secretary °f Htate, we made it oleqr to the people °f the South American countries that our sailors and our tlag must be protected everywhere. Blaine also took up the question which had been engaging the attention of statesmen and the Hecrotary of Htate for generations. Ho recognized ih Interests of tha American people in Inwall anil sent out to those islands as ur representative, John L>. Stevens, an ther distinguished son of Maine, TT^Th 1111:0 the revolt of those islands. The icnarchy fell and soon after a treaty .'as made tor the annexation of those glands to the United States, and it was aid before the Senate and Gen. Harrison, hen the President. At this time Cleve and came Into power. Gresham, who tecamo Secretary or State, did not like larrison, and he had the treuty with drawn from the donate and then the Jemocrntio party hauled down the ^meiican Hag which had been Heated ver those islands by the Republican ad ninirtration. They pointeu out the fact hat a state which claimed to be a re pub ic was not necessarily a republlo. They hen sot out to re estabish the fallen nonareby in the Hawaiian Islands. It s interesting to note how much their (pinions regarding what constitutes a ■epublio have changed since then, Any >hing which is now called a republic their iberty loving hearts are quick to smell md they are ready to call pretty much (verytiling a republic ino udlng the gov Tiiment of Agulnaldo in the Philippines md the so-called republics in North Carolina and Kentucky. At that time President Cleveland sent >ut to the Hawaiian islands what he sailed a paramount commissioner. The Democrats met at Kansas City and en leavored to establish an issue which they term the paramount issue of this cam paign. They have been attached to that word ever since Cleveland used it a nd like the old lady who loved to hear thy word Mesopotamia, they have been using it ever since. They have tender recollections of that commission who was sent out by Cleveland to haul down the American Hag, and they regard this word as peculiarly appropriate as an adjective to apply to that issue which iney wwuu toroe into in is campaign to haul down that flag somewhere else. They put forward this paramount Is sue as they term It, called “imperialism” by them. If they know what this word means and mean what they say, they believe that the Philippine policy of j expansion will result in the creation of an empire. My distinguished frland, Ueorge Fred Williams, made a speech a while ago, and as ho stepped on the platform, he said: “The empire is here.” (laugh ter.) It Is difficult to deal with this ques tion. It is hard to analyze rubbish. It is almost impossible to grasp the facts which are as effervescent as the visions of an opium dream. They say that we aro in danger of becoming an empire be cause we haki the islands in the Pacific and have 40,000 men out there. There might be some danger of an em pire if we were to bring into power that body of men who oppose law and order, who attack the Supreme Court of the United States, who are anti-everything. The empire will not oome because we hold the Philippine islands. Why the great state of New York,where they have a government republican In form and a constitution and a governor elected by the people, who will be promoted before 1 long (Applause), a legislature elected by 1 the people, a popular government in the city of New York, in the contiol of the Democratic, party, which is ruled by one autocrat, all these things the marks of a republic and yet it is called the “Empire State.” But It is not an em pire. Neither is any party In this coun try imperialistic In its policy. If, however, we are to elect an em peror, 1 want a better emperor than Bryan. (Applause.) If we aro going to elect a constitutional President, we want a man who In his youth has fought for American principles and who through his life has been working for American interests We want a man like William McKinley/ (Applause.) The imperialism is a bogus issue. No one believes in it. The Democrats themselves don't believe in it. There isn’t a sensible man living who lies awake nlgnts because he fears that if he falls asleep be may awake to find a Caesar at the White House. Already this paramount issue or tne Democracy Is beginning to break down. The candidate of the Kansas City con vention Is going to turn his strength shortly against other issues. In my judgment, within a fortnight only, will this paramount issue or the Democratic platform "disappear as completely as has the paramount commissioner whom President Cleveland sent to the Hawaiian Islands to haul down the American flag. To prove the falsity of the Democratic olalm that party is the projector of the people's rights; just glance at the Southern States where they are in power. Anyone who has followed the history-of Kentucky in the last ten months will see there just as much crushing out of the pojiular will as there has been In the Philippines, Whare no popului will ever existed. Anyone who will1* study the constitution of North Carolina and the proposed amendment to it which disenfranchises the colored voters, will see that the Democratic sym pathy for the condition of the dark man extends no further than North Carolina and that they have no sympathy for his dark skin. Bryan himself has proved this para mount Issue to be a fraud. He lays it down as his policy to retain these Is lands. He says that If ho Is elected he will call an extra session of Congress. If he gets In with a Democratic Congress the^dellghf. the country will take in the proceedings which will follow is better Imagined than described. He says he will give the Philippines a stable govern ment. That's just what the Kepublioan party Is trying to do, but how are you going to give them a stable government unless you hold these islands and give it to them? Bryan says he will promise these people their independence. He is promising them something which he may be able to give them in ten, In twenty, and perhaps, not for fifty years. It is a method which he has taken to kindle insurrection, Ilis next step in the Phil ippines will be to establish a protector ate over these islands and protect them against the nations of the world. He will take all the responsibility for the condition and order of these islands, but we will have no power over them. He would assume all the rejionslbillty, but take away our power to police these islands In order to keeji order. The policy of Bryan falls to pieces In the statement that he would give them a stable gov ernment, These people must first be pac ified and as fast as they advance along the path way of self-government they wllljbe given that government, This is the policy of the llepubllcan party. It will deal with the conditions as they are and meet the conditions as they arise. It has been jirophesized that the repub lic will fall If the rejmblie is expanded. This was prophesied when Ijoulsiana was purchased. It was predicted when each new bit of territory was added to the Union. The republic never has been In danger from the polloy of expansion, but it was in imminent danger for four years. This was when the Democra tic party was trying to make this country smaller by just one half, when it was tried to break this Union up. There never has been any danger of this repub lic falling while the country has been united and while it keejis its allotted way of destiny. This Philippine question Is an Ameri can question and one which should never have been tossed into the arena of party politics. It Is a question for the whole people to deal with. The Philippines came to us after the war with Spain and the treaty by which we otained these Islands was ratilied after Mr. Bryan had given his aid. If Mr. Bryan was elected President he would not withdraw one man or one ship from the Philip pines. There is no danger of an empire exoejiting In the minds of a few hundred aged men and some who start when they thing of what we are doing in China, a number really so small that it is not worth considering. Senator Lodge went on to show that the Philijjplnes are not united as a na tion; that they have a different lan guage and several different kinds of relig ion That some of them are civilized, but that many are not. When Bryan talks about the Filipino nation he talks about something which never existed. The only hope for these people is that the United States government or some strong power like ours may take them give them that freedom an^ self govern ment which they never have known, and make them men. To whom should the solution of such a question as this be given? To McKinley and-the Repub lican party with its advisers or to Bryan and the men whom' you know will be come his advisers? Senator Bodge charg?d that_the Demo cratic agitation had tended to prolong I the war and to encourage the Filipinos to tight the United States. Had it not i been ror his agitation this war which is now smouldering away, would have died long ago. The Filipinos only wait ing for the election of Mr. Bryan. Senator Bodge told again how Mr. Bryan had gone to Washington post haste to urge his party associates to ratify the Paris treaty. He said he was ready to com pare the record of the party of Lincoln with the Democratic Let us reject this talk about imperialism, there is no such thing and deal with the momentous questions which confronts, the people. We have a great trust to ex ecute in those islands, but I have no doubt, said Senator Lodge, that t nose problems wi^l ail be settled well and rightly by the American people in whose judgment I have the greatest confidence. Senator Lodge went on to say that the real question of questions Is the Eastern question. There the attention of the United States has lately been llxed while the trouble In China has been in prog ress. All have rejoiced to see the promi nent part which the United States has taken in this question. Not a mistake has been made by the administration in China up to this time, not even the enemies of the admin istration are mak ing a charge of this kind. Why is it that this country has been in such a position that it has been able to do its part in protecting its ministers and its mission aries? It is because we have the Philip pines, The United States says to the world so far as our power and inlluence goes no nation snail destroy tne oniuBse govern ment or attempt *o divide that country. The United States will endeavor to keep the ports of this nation open to the whole world. CIoso by where I am speaking, some of the mills have found it necessary to partially close because of the trouble in China, which has put an end to the demand for the goods which they are manufacturing. The best argument we have got towards Keeping the ports of China la Manila, and that bay which will shelter the entire fleet of the United States and the soldiers we have In Luzon. Senator Lodge said that If we didn’t have the Philippines when this trouble arose all we would have In Asiatic wat ers to protect American property and American lives wotild be the old Monoc aoy, which has been on the China station for thirty years. As it was we were able to land American troops in China with in a short time and the American 1 Hag was the first to wave over the walls of Pekin. This was one benefit which had been derived from the Philippines which no man had foreseen. “The paramount tsssue of imperialism is but a mask,” said Senator Lodge. “It is a mere cloak. It is not what the Dem ocrats mean. What they really mean is in the Chicago platform.” Senator Lodge sail that Immediately Dryan is elected the free silver coinage plank will clrae to the front and it will be found that 16 to 1 Is the Democratic policy above off others/ This will be enacted as the people will then have giv en the party the right to it, for the Dem ocratic platform must all stand and fall together. No part of It can be separat ed from the rest and no part of it can be eliminated now. With the free coinage of silver will come the withdrawal of the national bank notes and the destruction of the national bank system. “Now do you think the country h»s been prosperous in the last four years,” Senator Lodge continued. “Business prosperity depends upon confidence. The confidence of the business world would be shaken the moment Bryan came Into power and. the result would be the worst panic tli e country has ever known. Not this alone but the panic would be felt all over the world and the re-aofclon on us would take years for this country to re cover from, if there was a panic in the United States we would call our loans in Europe and this would cause a general panio the world over.” Senator Lodge closed very eloquently and made a strong appeal for Maine vot ers to do their duty. After Senator Lodge, Lee Falrchilld spoke briefly. His was a witty speech and he made a great hit wl th the audi ence. Among other bright things he said was that under Cleveland's admin istration the country grew thin and Cleveland grew fat. It was found that the phantom free trade meant no trade. “Before we give the Filipinos self gov ernment,” said Mr. Fairchild, “we want to see more evidences of the spindle and the loom upon them and we want them to know how to write, The Democrats compare these Filipinos with the men who signed the Declaration of Indepen dence. The signers of the Declaration of the Independence were not naked at any rate. The Democrats so love the yellow men that they have forgotten the black men in the South whom they are dis franchising. Bryan talks of free silver in a sea of words in which there are plenty of oysters of fancy but not one pearl of truth.” He compared Bryan to a quack doctor who was constantly procuring remedies for the cure of all the ills of mankind but whose cures never did man kind any good. Speaking of the cam paign of ’96 and the death of the free sil ver issue he said: “What happened? In stead of the silver mule there was found a gold horse pulling business along day and night and has been at work ever since. In the ship of state the Democrats are the steerage passengers, said Mr. Fairchild,referring to the outbreak of the Spanish war and the scenes In Congress at that time. “Commodore McKinley was onjthe bridge of that ship and Speak er Heed on deck. There was a sudden commotion down among the steerage pas sengers who wan tea to get on aecx ana fight, lie said to them, ‘You keep quiet until we get the decks cleared for action and then you can go ahead.’ But when the decks were cleared and the light bs gan few Democrats were to be found on deck. If Bryan would rather worship the silver moon by night than the golden sun by day let him play the owl of poli tics and play away,” was the manner in which Mr. Fairchild concluded amidst much applause. General Adam E. King of Maryland who has stumped this country from one end to the other and who was on Han cock’s stall during the oi\ 11 war and who will be heard in this vicinity again be fore the campaign is over, and Congress man McCall of Massachusetts, both made stirring speeches, confining themselves almost wholly to the imperialistic charges of the Democrats and free sliver utterances of Bryan. The speaking last ed from 2 3 0 until after live o'clock and the big crowd remained until the very end. FOOT BALL AT PREBLE. A Flue Team Will Be Put lu Field Tills Year. Active preparations are going on at Fort Preble for the coming football sea son and the formation at that place of a football club. The men have just ac quired a whole new set of football suits and other necessary outfits In addition to last year’s, and yesterday afternoon as many as thirty men in regulation suits could be seen commencing the first day’s practice on the parade ground. The team played five different clubs last year and only one was capable of making a score against them, which must be con sidered a good record in view of the short time taken for preparations and the fact that they haa only 66 men to select from— and that mostly green men at the game. This year they have the full battery strength of 110 to pick from and, with the experience gained last year and the active aid of Dr. Pond (an old timer also at football) and Electrician Sergeant Ha oT>od. fnrmerlv cantaln ot the South Car oiina college team,they hope to sweep ev erything In the State before them Lieut.

PUSC'ELLAJVEOUS. I I I _ You won’t have to stop so often to rest up if you rub yourself all over ■with Omega Oil before you start out on your wheel. And when you get home, rub on some more of the Oil. It is a wonderful liniment—a freshener, an invigorator, a builder of muscles and sinews, a food that goes in from the outside and makes men, women, boys and girls strong. Rub on plenty of it, and rub hard. “In training for bicycle races I have used a great many kinds of ‘rubs,’ but I never used anything that could begin to equal Omega Oil. It takes all that tired feeling out and makes the muscles fresh, strong and pliable. I heartily rec ommend it to all riders.” W. C. STERY. Ex Capt.

Enthusiastic Republican Rally Held at That Place. [SPECIAL TO THE PRESS.] North Yarmouth, August 22.—Hon, H. G. Evans ancl Mr. Frank I, Moore ad dressed a large audience here this even ing, discussing the issues of the cam paign from a Republican standpoint. Mr. Moore spoke, in part, as follows: We meet tonight to once more pledge our allegiance to the grand old Repub lican party, its past record and we look with courage and hope into the future, marching forward toward that future with minds ever open to the sunlight of the morning, ever open to new truths and new duties, as the new years bring their lessons, And what does the election of McKinley and Roosevelt mean? It means the supremacy of the constitution of the United States, It means the independ ence and integrity of the supreme court of the United States. It means the pro tection of every American citizen in his rignt to live, to labor, and to vote. It means a vigorous foreign policy. It means the maintenance of law and or der. It means the enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine. It means a great, splendid navy, not of the massive propor tions of Great Britain, out suilioient for all of our requirements, and for the con struction of lortifications for the protec tion of every American citizen cn every sea and in every port. It means sufficient revenue to carry on all governmental de partments, and the gradual extinguish ment of tne publio debt, It means a our renoy as sound as government and as untarnished as its honoi’, every dollar of which, whether gold, silver, or paper shall equal the best debt paying dollars to the civilized world, and every dollar of which shall be as good as bright, shin ing gold. It means protection that pro tects, reciprocity that reciprocates, there by insuring the best markets for our products, and insuring the employment of the American laborer. It means a pen sion policy, just and generous to our liv ing heroes, and to the widows and or phans of their dead comrades. It means the protection of American citizens, from unlawful combinations of aggregated wealth, and the unjust exaction of oor porated power, it means an American welcome to every God-fearing, liberty loving, constitution respecting, labor j seeking, decent man, It means the ex clusiorTof all those wli03e blood, whose lives, whose practices, w'hose teachings, unlit them for American citizenship, or lessen opportunities of American labor. It means the abolition of sectionalism, for the honor, and the glory of every commonwealth, and all its people. It means an undying love for everything American, and patriotism as eternal as the stars. The Kepublican party has been in power during the past three years and gives to you an account of its steward ship. Now what has it done? What has the administration of William McKinley done? It has given to you a tariff law dratted by that distinugished scholar and statesman, the lamented Nelson Dingiey, It has given you th3 gold standard. It has fought the war iwith Spain, it has made peace with Spain. It has given a government to Porto iRco, it has given a government to Hawaii, it has given a government to Alaska, We are restoring order in the Philippines, We are guid ing Cuba along the path to independence and self government it has given our country prosperity that is unexampled in its history. Our people are employed at good wages, our milis aud factories and workshops are busy, and when the sun j rises in the morning, it sheds its rays j upon a happy and contented people. Now wiiat has the Democratic party done? When the adminisration of Presi dent Harrison handed over to the Deino j oratic pafty the reins of government, it j left the treasury filled with a surplus, I and during the four years preceling that 1 event reduced our National debt by two hundx-ed and sixty-two millions of dol lars Hut the Democratic party in times j of perfect peace added to that debt, by is suing bonds to the amount of one hun dred and thirty million dollars, and sold to a syndicate at tar iess than their mar ket value. They premised in 1862 that they wo aid give you anew tariff iaw, and they did it. They gave yon the Wil son tariff law, the greatest political blun der in the history of. this country, or of any other. Speaking of our expansion and its re sults, Mr. Moore said: Who in this land today believes that with the union of states, bound together by bonds of love and honor, for onr institutions, that we would as a nation be so unmindful of the blessings that have come to us as a re sult of the Declaration of Independence, during, our life as a nation, as to refuse to any people, of the earth that has be come a;parc of this country, the bless ings, that we enjoyed and to be so un mindful of the right to enjoy life,liberty, and the pursuits of happiness as is guar anteed to this people under the benign ln fluences of the immortal Declaration of independence, and to deny the self evi dent fact that all men are created equal. The Philippine Islands coming to this country as a result of the Spanish war, were honoralby acquired, by twro indisput able titles, that is oy purchase, and by conquest, that gives to this country a right to govern them as may seem best and proper, after t.ho rebellion has been put down, which is now about to come to an end. And when the insurgents have laid down their arms, will receive such a government as will be for the good of the people, and as they progress along the pathway of liberty and of self gov ernment, they will receive all the assist ance that can be rendered by a nation that is not unmindful of the difficulties of a people that are moving along the pathway of the future, that was also trod by this people whose happiness is founded on liberty and self govern ment, that will guide the Filipinos until they may enjoy, all that we enjoy, and with the people of this country as teachers The government of the United States Is founded on the consent of the governed enjoying the highest type of liberty, and freedom, but the only difference between the form of government that we enjoy and the form of government that will be given to the people of those islands, is in the opportunity to take part in the election of the President, for with the territorial form of government which will undoubtedly be given to them, the governor is appointed by the President and the laws so far as they relate to the country in general are mado by the Con gress, but the laws so far as internal affairs are concerned are made by-the leg islature, or by the people themselves,Jwho are allowed a member in the National House of Representatives,to caro for their people's Interests. Now does it not seem as though with the coming of peace in the islands and with a government drafted upon similar lln9S to the government given to Porto Rico, that the people of the Philippine islands should be a happy, contented and liberty loving people, taking part in the affairs of the land and that in the end they will receive the fullest measure of self government. And will not tneir condition be as good as the people that have become a part of this land by the several periods of expansion and will not they, as well as the people of the several territories, enjoy all the benefits that we have enjoyed under the Declaration of Independence.

A social calm seem to have settled over the city doubtless from the fact that so many of our people are taking their out ings at the beaches and other summer resorts. There is, however, a political activity which is beginning to show it self and by September both parties will have lighted their fires on every hill and in every valley of this section of the county. The Republicans, as usual, took the lead and organized a club which has already done effective work.

New York, August 32.—The police con tinue actively at work trying to clear up the mystery of the murder of Kate Scharn In her apartments last Saturday night. The detective s declared today that there is half an hour unaccounted for in the alibi set up by the girl’s broth er, Fred erlck, to clear himself. Young Scharn is now in the Tombs, where he is held without bail. Inspector Harley, who has charge of the case, said today, speaking of young Scharn: “He was out of work for two months. He was dependent upon his sis ter for support, He was continually ask ing her for money. “We know that a suit of clothes he had ordered for $12 had only $5 paid on it. We know that the tailor went to the sis ter and asked her to pay the balance, which she refused to do. “We know that the boy was the only one that knew where to find the hammer wun wmofl Liie crime was cuiumimeu. Notwithstanding their suspicions against Scharn, the police are trying to find other clues and are searching lor the man with whom the murdered girl went shopping on the day of her death. A girl who occupied the same ilat as Miss Scharn had a watch stolen from her which it has been learned young Scharn pawned. Emanuel Friend, counsel for Frederick Soharn, obtained a writ of habeas corpus from Justioe Fitzgerald today for the ap pearance of Scharn in the Supreme court tomorrow morning with a view to obtain ing his release. Counsel claim that the boy is unjustly and without sufficient cause, kept In prison. STEAMERS. The I staunch and elegant steamers “GOV'.

Rules For Handling the Australian Ballot. To vote a straight ticket make a cross (X) in the square above the political des ignation of the ticket you desire to vote. If you want to vote the straight Repub lican ticket make a cross in the square above the word Republican; if the Dem ocratic make the cross in the square above the word Democrat, and if the Prohib ition make a cross in the square above the word Prohibition. If you want to split a ticket proceed as follows: First make a cross in the square above the political designation of the ticket the most of which you propose to vote. Then follow down the list until you come to th9 name of the candidate you desire to cut. Draw a line through that name. Then in the vacant space be low either write in the name of the per son you want to vote for, or stick on in this vacant space a sticker bearing the name of this person, BE BURE AND NOT PASTE THE STICKER OVER THE NAME YOU INTEND TO CUT because that will make the ballot defect ive and it will be thrown out.
