A Systematic Attempt Mad© to1 Expel Foreigners. (Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press.) Shanghai, September a.—Mr. William Woodvtlle Kockhlll, special commission erof the United States government to in vestigate and report on conditions in China, in an interview with a representa tive of the Associated Press emphasizing the importance of the harmonious action of the powers as a measure of self de fense, said: “If the Chinese government is able to break the concert of nations and to bring about a disagreement on the part of any government in such a w ay as to secure my relaxation of the joint demands.

I believe that all of the govern ments are impressed with this truth and I believe most of them realize that a deli nite and permanent settlement of the status of foreigners and the establishment of freedom of trade are more important to them now than the acquisition of terri tory. lhls has been a deliberately planned movement on the part of the Chinese government to expel all foreigners. The decrees printed In the Imperial gazette prove this. The movement has been prac tloally successful since every foreigner In the interior has been obliged to seek refuge In the treaty ports. The Imperial government merely utilized the Boxers as convenient accessories to Its schemes. ‘‘Ihe relief of Pekin Is merely an In cident of the crisis. The really important work remains'to be done. Marquis Ito, probably the best informed man alive on eastern politics, said to me that the pres ent was the greatest crisis In the history of China and that all preceding eastern questions sank Into significance beside it. Are civilized nations to yield to the Chinese conceit of their own superior ity?” Mr. Kookhill and other officials In Shanghai like the public are utterly ignorant of the oourse of diplomatic and military events In £Pekin. The consuls of the various governments have sent frequent telegrams to their respective ministers bat have been unable to get replies. It is suspected that the official messages are tampered with between Shanghai and Che Foo. The attitude of the southern viceroys in protecting foreigners commands confi dence in their good faith and negotia tions will probably be conducted through them. There is a financial panlo In Chinese business circles here. Probably an Important factor is the money rate which is now 88 per oent per month. The trailers are trying to get^ the ear of the officials. .La Hung Chang still remains In Shanghai. He Is thoroughly discredited but is Intriguing to get the foreigners to quarrel among themselves. Today he told American and English diplomats that the Russians had promised to with draw from Pekin regardless of the poli cy of other nations. His statement is not believed, on the contrary it Is thought probable that he Is simultaneously as suring the Russians that the Americans and .British have promised to withdraw. LI HUNG SEES FRENCH CONSUL. Shanghai, Septembr I.—Li nung Chang visited the French consul this morning and had a long interview with him. The subject matter of the conference has not been divulged. FI11ED AMERICANS OUT. I The War Lonl’a Troops Running I i Things at Tien Tstrn. I _ j (Copyright 1900, the Associated Press.) Tien Tsin, August 29, via Taku, August I i d0.—The Germans have formally demand i ed for themselves all the buildings and I grounds of tho camp of the United 1 States, explaining that these will be 1 needed by the large German forces soon 1 to arrive. As the American camp lies in the German cencession the demand will probably be complied with and a new camp for the United States troops will be established outside the city. Orders received from Washington di rect that the 5,000 American troops be divided between rekin, Tien Tsin and Taku for the winter. Abundant supplies are now arriving and all that is necessary is being rapidly forwarded to Pekin. It is understood here that United States Min ister Conger insists that Li Hung Chang shall bo allowed to proceed to Pekin for a conference. THE WEATHER.

Any Withdrawal of Troops Will Have Terrible Results. Insurgents More Active Recently. In Spite of War Island More Prosperous Than Ever. (Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press.) Manila, September 2.—The peace com missions announcement of its assump tion of power yesterday has met with childish comment at the hands of thb Spaniards and foreigners who jealously sneer at the new arrangement. A ma jority of the islanders desire peace and the resumption of business under the Americans but they are so cowed by a long series of murderous atrocities and destruction of property by their armed countrymen that they dare not actively show their feelings. A genuine reign of terror Is exercised by Insurgents and ladroces over peaceful country folk In order to collect the revenues and recruits their operati as require and widespread vengeance is wreaked In the vicinity of garrisoned towns. Any change of policy involving the withdrawal of the United States troops without substituting for them an ade quate offensive force, is certain to result in fearful retaliation at the expense cf the friendlies. T he approaching patria tion of the volunteers tends to Influence the situation unfavorably. In Northern Lu2on the status quo is fairly weli maintained. But in South ern Luzon conditions are far from satis factory. Life there is not safe outside the garrisoned towns. Karely does a day pass without an encounter between th United States troops and the insurgent or ladrones resulting In casualties. Ther are 18, 000 troops in tnat district. Tin activity of the enemy increased las month. There is evidence that the in surgents have come into possession o: new rifles and that they wish to annihi late some small’Americangarrlsons. Con ditions in the Visayans continue virtu ally unchanged. Nevertheless the imports for the Iasi quarter and a half were greater thar during any equal period of the Spanish regime. The internal revenue collection is a third greater than made by Spain. This is due to an honest system of ac counts, to a lack of favoritism and to im partial enforcement of the law. The mil itary authorities will turn over $6,000,000 Mexican to the commission and this will probably he expended in pnhlio improve ments, notably In harbor developments, The commission will lirst organize municipalities in the provinces, with the idea of establishing a central civil gov ernment during the next eighteen months. Twelve Americans including two cap tains and two lieutenants have been killed during the past two weeks. ATTEMPTED murder. Unknown Mai* Trie* to Slioot n Guide la Maine Woods. Bingham, September 1.—An attempt to murder Herrnon Templeton, a guide in the Moosehead lake region, is repor ted by sportsmen who have recently come to this place. The alleged attempt was made several days ago, but not until now have the facts been made publio. Templeton is one of the best known guides in these regions. In addition to being a guide he is a game warden. He has been so vigilant In efforts to stop poaching that he has incurred the enmity of some of the guides in the section he is licensed to work in. The returning sportsmen state that Templeton was on the west branch of the Penobscot during the week, and as he wished to make rapid progress, was pad dling his canoe. When a short distance from the shore he heard a loud report of a rifle, aud then felt a peculiar sensation at the back of his head and a pain in his back. He dropped flat In the canoe in which he had been standing and as he saw the muzzle of a rifle sticking out from the heavy growth, discharged his revolver several times in that direction. As soon as possible he went to the shore and as soon as he took his paddle in his hand, having dropped his revolver, another shot came from an unknown source. This time he was not able to return the shot but pressed toward 6hore, being in hopes to flnu hi6 would-be assassin. When he reached shore and examined the ground he could find nothing but the prints of a moccasin and a discharged cartridge. He was ablo to trace the tracks several miles, andflinaliy learned through the tracks on the ground that the would be assassin had followed him up river in a canoe, followed up the shore until he came to a favorable spot from which he fired the shot. A strong wind was blowing at the time the attempt to murder him was male and the canoe was pitching badly. This, it is thought, was the only thing that saved Templeton’s life. Had the bullet struck him it would have passed through his skull as the would-be assassin was at such short range. lempleton has not the remotest idea who the guilty parties are, and cannot think of anyone who has hatred enough against him to prompt a deed like that. The guides have formed a combine among themselves, and promise they will try to discover the guilty party, FLEET AT BAR HARBOR. Arrival of Admiral Farquhar’i Ships There. Bar Harbor, September 3.—The United States cruiser N ew York, the flagship ot the North Atlantic squadron, Hear Ad miral Norman H.I'arquhar, commander in chief, anchored in the outer harbor west of Bar Harbor, at one o'clock this afternoon after a day and night run in clear weather, from Newport. The flag ship was accompanied by the auxiliary gunboat Scorpion, Lieut. Commander Nathan Sargent. The other ships com prising the squadron to arrive tomorrow are the Texas, indiana, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Kearsarge. The later ship arrived at Northeast Harbor yesterday and is now anchored in Southwest Har bor. The U. S. S.« Dolphin, now on sur vey duty off Lamoine, the new coaling station live miles north of this place also may join the squadron here. Hear Ad miral T’arquhar will order all his vessels to anchor outside Bar Island, leaving the inner harbor clear for the guests, the British squadron, which is expected to arrive Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. The reading room, hotels, stores and cottages are gay with British and Ameri cans flags. Bear Admiral John H. Upshur (reti red), and the resident com mittee, are completing arrangements for the reception to the officers of both squadrons. On account of the small quarters for the ball at the Kebo Valley club on Wednesday night, the function will not be public. Only those invited will be admitted. There has been a thick i fog off shore all day. This may delay t the arrival of the other vessels. t ODELL AT THE HEAD. 1 The Probable Republican Ticket In j. New York. S AT-Alntrn AT V o m L 1 0 consensus of opinion here tonight makes 8 up fhe Republican state ticket as follows: 3 For governor,Benjamin, B, Odell, Jr., 5 of Orange; for lieutenant governor,Tim othy L. Woodruff or Kings; for comp tro.ler, William J. Morgan of Erie; for secretary of state. John T. McDonough of Albany; for state engineer, Edward A. Bond of Jefferson; for attorney gener al, John C. Davies of Oneida; for state treasurer, John Jaekel of Cayuaga. So far as obtainable tonight, because over some sections of the platform, there is still debate, the resolutions have been deoided upon which will first, indorse strongly the administration of President MoKinley,vigorously upholding the estab lishment and continuance of the gold standard. Second, a strong endorsement of the government policy in Cuba and Porto Rico and a statement that the Philip pines are ours by every right and that if it can be called expansion then the party in New York state is for expansion. Third, an indorsement of the admin istration of Theodore Roosevelt as gover nor of New York. Fourth, an endorsement of the legisla ture of 1900, specifically calling attention to the tax rate of 1,96 mills, the solution of rapid transit for New York, the pro tection of New York city's water supply, shortening hours of labor, reform in tenement houses and sweat shops, the erection of consumptives hospital, protec tion of the forests, improvements to the agricultural land. Fifth, non-committal plank regarding the canals, saying that there is now be ing made a preliminary survey author ized by the last legislature for the pur pose of accurately determining the cost of their enlargement and that the Republi can party will not favor any large expen diture unless it is certain that as a result of the enlargment of their capacity, the condition of all ciasses of the people and all section of the state will be materially improved. Sixth, an endorsement of the national Republican ticket. Although nearly every politician of prominence in Republican state politics is here, the day has been strangely devoid of conference, the only gathering of lead ers being one held to discuss a roug h draft of the proposed platform. So far as can be learned, the full ticket has been decided upon, and it Is Inti- mated tonight that there will be an unanimous endorsement of Mr. Woodruff for a third rerm as lieutenant governor J even if he fails to acquiesce, prior to Wed- 1 nesday. ■Passenger Cars Crushed in Terrible Collision on Reading Road, Thirteen Persons Were Killed and Over Thirty Injured. Excursion Train Runs Into Milk Train at Hatfield, Pa. Reports Are ConUietingr As To Responsi bilily For Disaster. Philadelphia, Pa., September 2.— Thirteen passengers killed and over thir ty others injured is the appalling record of a rear-end collision between an excur sion train and a milk train on the Beth lehem branch of the Philadelphia and Beading railway this morning at Hat fleld, Pa., 27 miles north of this city. The killed are: Miss Annie Sherry, 21, South Bethle hem. liobert Miller, 21, Soutn Bethlehem. Bichard Bachman, 22, South Bethle hem. William. Ehret, 22, South Bethlehem. Ira Ehret, 20, brother of William, South Bethlehem. Joseph Mordaunt, 22, Sguth Bethlehem. Charles Mclionlgle, Allentown. Thomas Bay, Allentown. Miss Mamie Kaelin, 14, Telford. Godfrey Kaelin, father of Mamie. William Blackburn, Ambler. Harold Eandls, Hatfield. Askermann, Philadelphia. The seriously injured: John Bavid, Philadelph ia, engineer of xcurslon train, skull fractured, critical. Albert J. Wagner, Philadelphia, fore uan excursion train, contusions of ches nd legs. Wilson Crossland, South Bethlehem, aggagemaster of milk train, head iace ated. Michael J. Tighe, Allentown, legs rushed aDd burned. Abraham Transue, Jr., South Bethle em, deep scalp wounds, back and inter al injuries. Mrs. William Burkhardt, South Beth ahem, lniured intornaliv Miss Uertude Burkhardt, South Beth lehem, both legs broken. John lielchley, South Bethlehem, In ternally Injured. Miss Carrie Bachman, chest crushed. W. H. Kosenberry, jaw broken and in ternally injured. The wrecked train consisted of ten day coaches and was the first section of a large excursion made up of people from Bethlehem and Allentown to Atlantic City. This section carried only those people who lived in Bethlehem and Allentown and left the Union depot in Bethlehem I at 6.05 a. m. exactly 35 minutes behind the milk train, The latter train con sisted of two milk cars and two passen ger coaches and had stopped at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Philadelphia. At 5.54 the milk train drew up at the milk platform at Hatfield and in less than two minutes, the special excursion train, running at the rate of 35 miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk train. The locomo tive plowed through the two passenger coaches and crushed them as If they were egg shells—the milk oar immediately in front was also badly wrecked. Four per sons, Godfrey Kaelin, his daughter Mamie, Harold Landis and William Blackburn on the passenger car of the milk train, were almost instantly killed Fortunately there were very few passen gers on this train. The excursion train was a picture of indescribable horror. The locomotive was a mass of bent and broken iron and firmly held the bodies of its engineer and firemen beneath its great weight. Behind the engine six of the ten cars were also a mass of wreckage. The first car was broken in two and the other five cars were thrown on their sides, completely demolished, Nine persons were killed In the first two cars and the others in these coaches were badly maimed. As soon as the crash came, a terribly cry rose from the smashed cars ind those who had not been injured luickl/ crawled from the cars and went to the assistance of the injured. Many ivere pinned down by the wreckage and nad to be freed by the liberal use of axes. With three or four exceptions, the dead were killed instantly the others dying on ;he way to the hospitals. All the In ured were first taken to a shed at the fatfleld station and the dead were re uoved to a barn. Messengers were sent io the nearby villages for a physician and 1 i relief train was telegraphed for from Botlilehem. With fifteen doctors and half a dozen nurses a special train was J sent from Bethlehem but before it reached the scene .of the wreck it was signalled to return to Bethlehem as a special carrying nearly all the injured had started for the hospital at that place. On the run from Hatfieled to the hospital three of the injured died. Great trouble was experienced m keeping the relatives away from the inju red on the train so that the doctors gathered from near Hatfield could attend to the wounded. The special train arrived at Bethlehem at 11.30 and was met by fully 5,000 persons all clamoring to get a bit of news of the wreck or trying to learn whether loved ones were among the vic tims. The news of the wreek had reached Bethlehem at 8 o’clock and spread like wild-fire. All the people of the town were gathered at the station and It was with great difficulty that the injured were removed to the waiting ambulances and other vehicles which conveyed them to the hospitals. All during the day people from Allentown, Gatasaqua and other places came pouring into Bethlehem and confusion reigned throughoat the day. The second section of the excursion made up of persons from towns other than Bethlehem and Allentown, left after the first section, but was flagged before it reached Hat field. As It could not get through on account of the blocked tracks, it was re turned to Bethlehem and there was great 'ejoicing at the narrow escapes of its iccupants from a catastrophe. The coroner of Montgomery county wLeua. eariy ana spent; the entire day at the scene. He at once di rected the removal o£ the dead to JLans dale, a short distance south of Hatfield. He promises a vigorous investigation into the horror. There are conflicting stories as to the responsibility for the accident, one ver sion is that the engineer of the excur sion train hai been warned at Souderton, the station above Hatfield, that a milk train was a few minutes ahead of him. Another story is that the train despatch er s office in Philadelphia was at fault' The trainmen refused to talk of the acci dent. Fifteen hundred tickets had been sold for the excursion to the seashore and it was to have been the last of the season, Wellington H. Kosenbery of Hansiale, a representative of the Pennsylvania legislature was on the milk train. He had his jaw broken and was also inter nally injured. His condition is serious. ALL DONE BUT VOTING. The Vermont Campaign Ended Satur day Night. Montpelier, Vt., September 2—The close of the campaign in Vermont came last night with political gatherings in nearly every city and town in the state. Tuesday will be election day, and the result is anxiously awaited by the leaders of the two great parties. Both Republicans and Democrats have worked out to its final act an elaborate plan of campaigning, through flag rais ings, platform addresses and distribution of literature. This year the canvass has not been quite as vigorous as that of four years ago, although the Democrats have done a larger amount of work. The national committee sent in outside speakers, but generally speaking, the details of the campaign plan were worked out by local committees. The senatorial fighters, and ihe license issue will enter into the bal lot to some extent. The legislative fight ivas precipitated by the candidacy of Jongressman William W. Grout and lormer Governor William P. Dillingham 'or United States senator. The Republicans it Is understood do lot figure on receiving the plurality of 10,000 which they secured four years ago tnd in their loss, the Democrats count ;heir gain. RIFDE SHOTS COMPETE. Sea Girt, N. J September 2.—After ;wo days' firing on the ranges of the New Jersey Rifle association, the military and lay marksmen enjoyed a rest today. The shooting will be resumed at the different ranges tomorrow morning and it is ex pected that during the week there will be some high class shooting done In the several contests which are to be decided. The ranks of the shooters were consid erably augmented today by tne arrival of regulars and stato militia men who are entered In the Interstate matches in the programme, It is now certain that there will be no International contest for the Palma or centennial trophy, as the Cana dians will not send a team this year. Among the arrivals today were Lieut. Sumner Paine, battery A, 1st regiment Massachusetts Heavy Artillery; Captain VV E Lombard of battery 13; Serge; nb Cole, Cornorals Smith,Thresher, Goddard and Private Tom Anderson and Sergeant Major W.

Pennsylvania Is well represented and the Philadephians are in high feather over the victory of Willliam Deveaux EoulKe, in the shoot for the Wimbledon cup yesterday. His work on the 1,000 yards was very fine and all the more cred itable from the fact that he has had no practice at such a long range.

SAVAGERY. Awful Stories of Russian Cruelly in China. Natives Killed in Pure Wantonness. Robbery, Ravishing and Murder Common on Every Wand. Children Bayoneted and Old Men Drowned. Reports Which Are Almost Too Horrible to Relieve. (Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press.) Taku, August 30, via Shanghai, Sep tember 3.—The Chinese in the Pei Ho ■valley are paying dearly for the folly of their government. Along the river and the roads travelled by the foreign troops between Tien Tsin and Pekin an orgie or looting and destruction continues with much useless slaughter of unoffending inhabitants. The conditions prevailing leave little ground for the favorable comparison of civilized warfare with Chinese methods. Kobbery, ravishing and murder are so common that every responsible person one meets contributes stories from per sonal observation. Fires are started daily although the shelter will be much needed if the troops are to hold the country during the win ter. The soldiers are having ‘‘fine sport” in using natives who creep back to their houses, or attempt to work in the Helds, as targets. The Russians are the chief actors in this style of conquest but the French are remarkably conspicu ous, considering their small numbers. From the beginning the conduct of the Russians has been a blot on the cam paign. When entering Pekin correspon dents of the Associated Press saw Cos sacks smash down Chinese women with the butts of their guns and pound their heads until they wire dead. TheJCossacks would pick up children barely old enough to walk, hold them by the ankles and beat out their brains on the pave ment. Russian officers looked on without a protest. While Genei*al Chaffee was watering his horse at a stream under the wall of Tung Chow, the Russians found a feeble old man hidden in the mud, ex cept his nose, and dragged him out by his queue Shouting gleefully they impaled him on their bayonets. General Chaffee remarked, ‘‘That is not war. It is brutal murder.” Amerloan officers at Taku, days aftefr the fighting was finished, saw Russians bayonet children and throw old men into the river, clubbing them to death when they tried to swim. The Russians killed women who knelt before them and begged for mercy. UEKflANY UIVES IN. A Shanghai Report that War Lord Will Withdraw From Prklu. London, September 3, 4 a. m.—The publication of the text of the Russian proposals has intensified rather than diminished the suspicion entertained by England of Russia's proceedings. The rupture of the European concert is con sidered as an accomplished fact. Opin ions differ, however, as to the way in which the powers will now group them selves. The Daily Telegraph which expresses regret that President McKinley “has committed the United States to follow the Russian lead" considers, howe^fer, that Japan will throw in her lot with Russia and will be reluctantly followed by France. The Times feffs perfectly clear, it says, that neither honor nor the interests of England will permit her to follow Rus sia s example. It trusts that Germany will refuse to leave Pekin. Most of the other morning papers ex press similar views. Li Hung Chang had a long conference yesterday morning with Mr. William Woodville Rockhill, U. S, special com missioner. Earl Li’s party is said to be jubilant at the present aspect or affairs. The Shanghai correspondent of the Times wiring yesterday says: “Li Hung Chang has received a tele gram from the Chinese minister in Ber lin asserting that Germany is prepared to act In concert with Russia with a view to a settlement and that tnerefore it is probable Germany will follow Russia and withdraw her troops from Pekin.” OFFICIALS RETICENT. Empress Said to Have Moved Still Farther Frpm Pekin. Washington, September 2.—As far as can be ascertained there were no im portant developments in the Chinese situation here today. The officials main tained unusual reticence. In diplomatic circles the opinion prevails that none of the great powers have as yet reached a final determination as to the course they will pursue. An interesting bit of information re gaidiug the Empress Dowager came to Washington today. It was to the effect that the British government had reoelved word that the Empress was going from Tyan Eu in the province of Shansi to which place she had fled after her escape from Pekin, to Hainan Fu. Tyan Fu is farther away from the Chine se capital. PRINCE MADE REGENT. St. Petersbuig, September 2.—The Of ficial Messenger published the following despatch dated Pekin August 20, from the Russian Minister, M. Do Giers: “There is an unconfirmed rumor that Prince Cliing has been appointed regent but is afraid to return unless the foreign envoys will guarantee his liberty. Ten dignitaries remaining in Pekin have con sequently resolved to petition the diplo mats in the interest of an amelioration of the situation to invite Prince Ching to return to Pekin and to give explan ations.” ACCEPTS GEORGE FRED’S CHAL LENGE. Richmond, September 1.—Gov. M. W. Atkinson of West Virginia, who picked up the gauntlet thrown down by George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, in his Portland speech, said, tonight: “If the Republican state committee of Maine sanctions my act I will be pleased to accept George Fred Will iams’ challenge. I have the questions in mv nop.kp.t which Mr Williams was asked to answer, and those are the questions I want him to reply to. I don’t know what political etiquette in the North is in regard to accepting a challenge, but in my home in the South aud we never let such an opportunity pass.” A prominent Maine republican said: “The Republican state committee will, without a doubt, give Gov. Atkinson all the latitude in the world. The Gover nor is no bully, bluffer and braggart. His handsome, manly face shines with southern honor. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word. No better man could be picked to make Williams take back water.” RETURNING IN STEERAGE. Berlin, September 2.—Owing to the unusually heavy westward passenger traffic as well as to the interruptions in sailings, owing to Fne Hoboken disaster, and to the chartering of passenger steam ers by the German government for use In Chinese waters, many American citizens have recently b8en compelled to take steerage passage in returning to the United States. The physicians of the North German Lloyd steamship company have Insisted upon vaccinating all these to meet the requirements of the United States laws. Recently an American filed strong ob jections with Mr. Henry W.

New York, Spetember 2 —Among the passengers on the French line steamer La Tmiralne whlrh arrlvori fmm Hum day was Arthur V alols, United States commissioner of the Paris exposition, lie defended Commissioner General Peck from the cabled charges that he had acted discourteously to state representatives at the exposition. In speaking of the story that Mr. Peck had secretly worked to prevent Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Poter Palmer from being decorated by the French government, he said: “That is impossible for I know how such things are done. The name for the legion of honor are handed in and passed on their merits. I know that Mr. Peck presented the names of Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Potter Palmer and Michael De Young for the order. As to there being criticism over being so many representa tives from the United States, and the difficulty of supplying all with Invita tions to entertainments, all that I can say is that here always is trouble when a big enterprise like the exposition, is under way. There are certainly many officials from this country to the exposi tion.” CRONJE DOING WELL.

PREPARING FOrIlIGHtT i Kruger and Steyn May Leave Country. i _ j i In Pretoria They think the War Is About Over. j

_ i i i Boers Can Prolong It If i They Wish. Force of Boers Destroy British Supply Train. Pretoria, Setember 1.—Mr. Kruger and Mr. Steyn have gone to Barberton. It is believed that they are preparing for flight. The general opinion is that the war is now very near the end, but should the Boers construct strongholds in the bush on the veldt, or elsewhere, and begin a system oi raids the British would require further large supplies of horses. Ceneral Buller moved fourteen miles northwestward along the Bydenburg road and crossed the Cjocodile river to Badfonteln. He found the Boers concen trating in the Crocodile mountains. A force of Boers under Commandant Ehron broke through the British lines and captured and burned a supply train at Klip river station, taking 35 prison ers. Brabant's horse proceeded thither, recaptured all the prisoners and drove the Boers into the hills. Col. Plumer dispersed a small commando under Com mandant Pretorius east of Plnaar’s river, capturing 26 Boers, a number of wagons and a quantity of cattle and rifles. THE GOLFERS. Miss Frances A.

Miss Grlscom is one of the best exponents of the round swing with a fine follow through and on form and was easily the superior of her 17-year old antagonist. She is the daughter of Mr. Clement L. Grlscom of the Ameri can Navigation company and is about 21 years old. She fully deserved her vic tory. Morning trains from Southampton Drought in a large number of people who had come to see the finals between MIbs Curtis and Miss Grlscom. The fact that for the first time since the champion ship was inaugurated the champion would come from outside the Metropoli tan district did not seem to abate the in terest of the Metropolitan players, for the attendance was large and the players had a following of enthusiastic admirers who tramped around the course in the hot sun and applauded vigorously and without partiality every good play of either contestant. Miss Curtis was a favorite In the morn ing and several wagers were made at odds of 8 to 5 that the Boston girl would win the championship. Her opponent, making a good score yesterday, did not seem up to Miss Curtis in the long game and the indications were that one or the other of the players would be able to defeat her opponent in less than the full 18 holes. The rlav w:w u, anti warm, and there was nothing in the conditions to warrant the expectation of other than good play. HITCHCOCK WON. Newport, R.

New York, September 1.—Richard Croker was filled with wrath yesterday and the man servant of the Tammany leader, as well as the attaches of the Democratic club, wore long faoes. A story was published that there was a plan forming to depose Mr. Croker from the leadership of Tammany Hall, backed by John P. Carroll and Mayor Van Wyck. “It’s rot,” said Mr. Croker, wrathful ly. “Such nonsensical stories really makes me feel like never saying a word for publication.” Street Cleaning Commissioner Nagle, who ifi a ■man nf hftrmi lfi»n hnilrt waa more angry than the Tammany leader. His name had been mentioned as one of the men who were lighting to depose Croker. He said: “I have never talked with Patrick H, Keahon or any one else about such a subject. The man who invented the story should write a tank drama and then fall in the water some night by ac cident. If that fellow came to Harlem I would like to duck him in the river.” The story of the fight asrainst Kichard Croker is said to have been started by friends of the new Tammany leader, Patrick H. Keahon, to injure John F. Carroll, A few days before the primaries, John F. Carroll sent for several politicians in the seventh district and asked them to side with James W. Boyle in the faction al fight. A few politicians agreed to comply with John F. Carroll’s wish. Others refused and informed ex-Alder man Keahon that Mr.Carroir was work ing against him. After his victory ex Alderman Keahon is said to have sought some way to revenge himself on Mr. Carroll, and the publication of the story of Carroll’s gattempt to depose Kichard Croker, was spread for that purpose. THE CASE OF MRS. MAYBRICK. (Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press.) London, September 1.—A tangible re sult of the recent visit to Mrs. Florence Maybrick at Aylesbury prison of l)r. Clark Bell of New York, the prisoner’s counsel, and a representative of the As sociated Pres3, was the discovery of a hitherto unknown letter from the late Baron Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England, to Mrs Maybrick, reaffirming his belief in his client’s in nocence and vigorously declaring his con viction that she had been unfairly con demned. This^letter^has since been made the basis for a new memorial praying for Mrs. Maybriok’s release,and so strong is Mr. Bell’s belief in the force of this document that a copy of it has been sent personally to Sir Matthew White Rid ley.the secretary of state for the home de nrvrfcnient,. Jit; Ills Rummer hnma In iVnrhh umberland, accompanied by the request that he give It his earliest consideration. Mr. Bell started for the continent to day, more than satlslied with the effects of his visit to England. Be has not only succeeded in seeing his client for the first time since her incarceration, but has since secured for Mrs May brick an interview with her mother, Baroness Koues. The dlsoovery of the Bussell lettBr is regarded as important, not be cause many people doubted his sincerity, but because it is couched in such terms as to preolude any question of his be lief that she was unfairly tried. Mrs. Maybrick’s frlands say Ur. Clark Bell feels the mysterious influence of oppo sition somewhere, which hinders a suc cessful result. The late Mr. Bayard evi dently felt this when h& declared the case had reached the end of diplomacy, and subsequent ambassadors also met it. But many recent evidences of leni ency toward the prisoner Incline her friends to believe that her incarceration will not be prolonged.

If a Republican tells you it is a good thing to have a large standing army,’ said Mr. Bryan, “remind him that when a Republican President went into office we had an army of 25,X)00 soldiers and that that same President asked for a standing army of 100,000 sol diers in December, 1898, and then re mind him of the fact that if we are to have imperialism we will never have a smaller army than we have now. “If a Republican tells you that im perialism is the same as the expansion that Jefferson sought for, you tell him that Jefferson wanted to expand the lim its of the Republic and to build up the territory into states and that he want ed the inhabitants to be citizens and to share In the guarantees of the constitu tion while the Republican party has al ready enacted a law in regard to Porto Rico that rests upon the theory that out side of the 45 states the President and congress cave power as unlimited as any despot ever exercised in the history of the world,” (Applause,) The meeting at South Bend tonight was held upon the courthouse grounds, Mr, Bryan had a fine audience, regard ess of the weather conditions. The speech was'a general discussion of the issues of the campaign, but special at tention was given to the consideration of imperialism. Mr. Bryan defended his course in advocating the ratification of the peace treaty, saying that he consid ered it preferable to have the treaty rati fied to having another made by the same parties, believing it better to eliminate Spain from the question entirely. “Deny if you dare, the doctrine that all men are created equal in the Philip pines and you are going to find your selves unable to maintain It here,” he said. “Once destroy the doctrine and you are all at sea. We are in advance of other nations; our government is the best in the world. To change to the Eu ropean method is not progress, tut it is to go backward,” Mr. Bryan said he was satisfied with the progress that had been made and he would not exchange the American gov ernment for all the empires that had ev er existed. If the President could haul down the American flag In Cuba, 200 miles away, he could certainly haul i t down In the Philippines, 7,000 miles way. IT WAS SUBLIME. Lincoln, Neb., September I.—Vice Chairman Edmlston and Secretary Edger tons of the Populist national commit tee, have issued an address appealing for 1 support of William J. Bryan and justi fying their endorsement of Adlal E. 1 Stevenson as Vice Presidential candi- date. The address, in part, says: “In nominating Mr. Stevenson for the Vice Presidency, the People’s party gave a sublime Illustration of the renuncia tion of partisanship. We had already nominated Mr. Bryan as our candidate for President. We had nominated Mr. Towne for Vice President and for the sake c harmony and unity overlooked all mer party considerations and made both Den: ocratic standard bearers our own. VVe believe that by this act we hav not only strengthened the cause, but tha in tne long run we have also strength enei our own party organization. W have laid down much that the caus might succeed and in its triumph w will triumph as well. “While Lincoln did not believe i abolition, his election means the endin of human slavery on this continent. I the same way the election of Brya means the beginning of a new era i American politics. The Populist part was the beginning of this movement an is the impulse which carried it forward We have grown until our principle have permeated the masses of anothe great party and have thus made then our allies ia this campaign. “In the name of humanity and for th cause of liberty, we call upon every peo pie to rally to the support of the republi in its hour of struggle between the world old forces of monarchy and freedom. “There are only two sides to the con test, Tnere is no middle of the road Who does not give his full supply to the cause of popular government is its ene my.

Cheyenne, Wyo,, September 1.—lie ports received from the trail of the Union Pacific train robbers state that the pos sees have surrounded the bandits in the mountains near the Colorado-Wyoming State line at a place known as the Hay stacks, and that the desperadoes cannot escape. Everything points to the fact that the robbers secured at least $100,000 in cur rency of small denomination, which was being sent to the Philippines. They also got $10,000 in unsigned currency, which was being sent to the First National bank of Butte. More than 500 men are now on the trail of the bandits, all intent upon earning the $1000 reward The chase is similar to the famous hunt for the Curry brothers in this same section about this time last year. The latter blew up an express car on the’Union Pacific and got away with $50,000, though chased for ten days by a small army of men. The escape of the Curry gang indicates just how difficult the pursuit of outlaw bands In this country Is. FAVOR LOUISVILLE.

It Will Be Paid the Doctor Who At' 3 tended William Goebel, t _ 0 Louisville, Ky., September 1.—One o: i'ke handsomest fees ever paid a genera' practitioner for services in a single case will be received by Dr. J. H. McCormici of Bowling Green for his attendance up y on William Goebel after he was shot at -trankfort. Arthur Goebel, brother of j the dead Governor and his devisee under j th® will, has placed a claim against the estate of Governor Goebel for $10,000 for j ■Ur* McCormack’s services. Salt solution was used to replenish the blood lost from 3 i'i18 mortal wound. Dr. McCormack and tfl® other physicians worked incessantly 1 to insure a prolongation of the patient’s life un il he could be sworn In as Gov ernor of Kentucky. When Arthur Goe bel arrived he requested Dr. McCormack j to remain in Frankfort with his brother and not return to his practice in Bowling Green. The doctor willingly consented to do so and until Goebel died he worked with him night and day. HANNA’S MOVEMENTS. New York, September 1.—Senator Han na virtually closed his work in New York for the present. He will not go to Chi cago before Wednesday and on Tuesday and Wednesday he will put In a little time at headquarters. He does this beoause of his interest in the Republican state convention. It is currently reported that he pre fers to have Odell nominated, because the corporations which are contributing so largely to the Republican campai gn fund are all in favor of Odell. He de sires to see the programme adopted by benator Platt safely through before he goes away. He also feels that with J oseph H. Man ley in Maine and ex-Senator Gibbs at Saratoga, it is better for him to be around until Gibbs at least can come back Perry S. Heath, secretary of the com mittee,will be in New York during Sen ator Hanna’s stay in the West. Repub lican headquarters will be closed from noon today until Tuesday morning. VOLUNTEERS TO RETURN. Washington, September 1 —So far as the War Department has any plans for the return of the volunteer troops for the Philippines, it is intended to commence the homeward movement about the’mid dle of November. No orders have yet been issued on the subject, but it will take practically all of the transport ser vice at the command of the department to accomplish the return of the 31,000 vo' unteers between the date named and June 30th of next year when their term of service expires by operation of liw. It is the Intention of the department to return the organizations in the same relative order as they were shipped to the islands, thus equalizing as near as possible their terms of foreign service.

Here will be an opportunity to make the trust the “paramount” issue, if he has got tired of exploiting Imperialism as has been reported. Stories of trading are always rife just belore eieotion. As a rule they can be set down as the products of a heated Imagination. Where there is a large body of voters under the control of a boss, as is the case in New York city, trading on a large scale is possible, but In this state little can be done in the way of trading. Certainly no trade can be arranged which will have any appreciable effect upon the result of the election. Thera Is nothing to be gained for the enforcement of law by electing a Demo cratic sheriff in this county. It makes very little difference how strong the promises of the canddiate may be or how sincere Tor the time being. The elements which will surround him will be too btrong for him to resist and they will not be elements that will want the prohibi tory law enforced What the Democrats want the sheriff’s office for is to use it for political purposes. Already some of them whose enthusiasm has clouded their discretion are toasting that with the sheriff:s office in their hands they can elect the next Mayor of Portland. The Horton law—the New York statute that permitted prize lights under the guise of boxing matches—has come to an end and none too soon. There is no question that the “mills” that have been given under its auspices for two years past in New York and vicinity have proved very corrupting, The brutality of the exhibitions was not their only bad feature, The betting which was one of their concomitants was ex ceedingly demoralizing also. We are Inclined to think that the frequency of these exhibitions for the past two years has served to dull somewhat the edge of public interest in prize lights, and in this way may have been productive of some little good, but it is small compared with the evil which has come from them. Andre started in his ballooi to reaoh the pole at 3 p. m. on July 11. 1897, over three years ago. The buoy which has just been found was thrown out seven hours after'his departure. Two mes sages sent out by him later than this were found long ago. One of them was borne by a carrier pigeon, and was dated July 13 at 12.30 p. m., or nearly two days after his ascent. The other which was a letter buoy, found last year, was thrown out after he had been in the air seven hours and tifty-five minutes. It will be seen that the buoy just found bore an earlier date than the proceeding messages from him and therefore adds nothing to our information in regard to the aeronaut and his voyage. In addition to these three messages, one other relic of the party has been found. This ^is the empty buoy found on September 11 last, on the north side of King Charles island. It is the specially marked buoy called the “North Pole buoy,:’ which Andre intended to throw out when passing the North Pole. As it contained no mes sage it 1b believed to have drifted away from the wreckage after the collapse of the expedition. Mr. Bryan Is still troubled by his ad vice to Democratic Senators to vote for the Paris treaty. Saturday night he again attempted to justify it, this^time explaining that he desired to eliminate Spain. As matter of fact Spain was bound to do whatever we demanded whether she wanted to or not. She did not want to part with th9 Philippine s but we told her she must and she did. She was of course a party to the treaty, she signed it, but we dictated every word of it just as wo wanted it. There would have been no more difficulty in getting Spain to agree to a disposition of the Philippines similar to that of Cuba, than in getting her to transfer her sov ereignty over those islands to us. Mr. Brj m's explanation looks like an after thought. At any rate it Is a very lame one, and will relieve him from the re sponsibility of securing the ratification of the treaty in the opinion of no person who is familiar with the facts In the case. We imagine that if Mr. Bryan should tell the whole truth it would appear that a political motive influenced him to a larg8 extent. He wanted to make the ulti mate disposition of the Philippines a question in American politics In this he succeeded, though at the expense of con sistency. It appears that neither Kussla nor the United States intends to withdraw its troops from China at present, but only from Pekin. They will probably remain at Tien Tsln until the Chinese question is settled, and a stable government estab lished. Whether the other powers will also withdraw from the capital remains to be seen. As far as we are concerned it makes little difference. Our alms can be as well accomplished with our troops at Tien Tsin as at Pekin, and we shall be less likely to be drawn into any Ku ropean complication wnion may arise, we have little doubt, however, that even tually the other powers will follow the policy adopted by Kussia and the United States and withdraw from the capital. The fact is that unless such withdrawal takes place, and the Chinese government which fled on the approach of the allies is allowed to return and establish itself there will be no government with which to treat. The allies might possibly be able to set one up, but it would last prob ably only so long as foreign bayonets were behind it. When they were with drawn it would fall and treaties made with it would not be worth the paper they were written on. Unless the powers are to permanently administer Chinese affairs they must negotiate with the reigning dynasty, and in order to do that they must permit it to reoccupy the capital. If negotiations fail, if satisfac tory guarantees for the future, and in dem nity for the past cannot be secured, the powers then may have to adopt some other policy. But under present condi tions the proper course would clearly seem to be that adopted by Kussia and the United States. The power that will hesitate the longest in assenting to it is probably Germany, whose war lord has been apparently cherishing some ambi tious designs which he will be reluctant to give up. England is showing some hesitancy now, but it is due largely to a suspicion that Kussia is not sincere. When she is convinced that there is no duplicity in Kussia's programme she will undoubtedly assent to it. The English public have burdens enough without assuming any new one3 in China, and public sentiment is sure to be against permanent occupation unless it is absolutely necessary to secure equality of rights and privileges. CURRENT COMMENT. TAKES AWAY JOHN BULL'S BREATH. (Lewiston Journal.) John Bull has lost his wind. He is wholly unprepared to learn that Russia is more anxlou3 to prevent the partition of China than any other nation save the United States. It is a distinct victory for the leadership of Uncle Sam in the pacification of China. Germany is equa ly dazed. That Kussia, the great land grabber of Asia should thus join in the effort of the United States to maintain the open door in China, is beyond the English ability to credit. Yet such is the fact, and the sooner England and Ger many get into line with the United States, France and Russia, the better both for England and for Germany. SENSE OF PROPRIETY. (Waterville Mail.) It needed no denial to convince the average person that the Hon. Arthur Sewsali has not deserted the Democratic party. Mr Sewall has too much political pride for that. He is In sympathy with very little that Democracy at present stands for, and believes in most of the principles set forth in the Republican platform, but political propriety and good taste would forbid a man like Sewall to turn against the candidate with whom he ran only four years ago. Mr. Sewall has a^son, however, who is a warm Re publican. FOR HUNTINGTON’S PL 1CE. M. E. Ingalls, a Maine Born Man, Among Those Mentioned. New York, September 1.—Speculation as to who will succeed the late Collis P. Huntington in the presidency of the Southern Pacific railroad was renewed yesterday with added zest by the publi cation of a dispatch from London which asserted that the new president would be a man who had not hitherto been iden tified with the management, “When Mr. Huntington was pinched in the panic of 1893,” it was cabled, “he was forced to let go a large part of his securities to raise money. Messrs. Speyer advanced him large sums. The Southern I Pacifio stock whioh they then obtained, together with their recent nurohasss. give these bankers a controlling interest in the road. While Mr. Huntington was alive Messrs. Speyer were content to have him keep the presidency, although they believed a change in the manage ment of the Southern Pacifio was advis able.” It was added that while James Speyer was in Europe the news came of Mr. Huntington's death, and that Mr. Speyer and his brother decided to off er the va cant presidency to a man “who is now president of one of the greatest roads in the East.” Guesses at the identity of the man were rife all day yesterday in Wall street, but according to the best information obtainable the London story was an irre sponsible one. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four; W. H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western, and Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr president of the Long ^Island railroad, were each report ed in turn to be the choice of the Messrs. Speyer. There was practically no basis for these rumors. A Tribune reporter was informed by a'person in authority that no definite se lection had been made and, moreover, that a meeting of the directors to fill the office would not be held for some time. The men who had been spoken of as likely to succeed Mr. Huntington said they had not been consulted about the matter. “You cannot deny this rumor too em phatically, was what Air. Truesdale had to say, while Air. Baldwin dismissed Inquiries with the terse remark, “I have heard nothing whatever about it.” The Vanderbilt officials said that if Air. Ingall3 had been approached it was not in their knowledge. James Speyer said: “The new presi dent of the Southern Pacific has not beeh elected yet, and until he is I do not care to mention the name or names of those under consideration. The direc tors will determine who he will be,” Mr.Speyer added that no date had been fixed for the meeting and that there was no need of haste, as the road was in no way suffering under the present condi tions. Charles H. Tweed, second vice-presi dent and general counsel of the road, re fused to discuss the reports, except to say that so far as he knew they were entirely baseless. Several prominent railroad men ex pressed the belief that H. E Huntington would succeed to the presidency of the South Pacific, despite the many rumors to the contrary. ADOPTED BY THE OJIBWAYS. Sault Ste. Alaire, Alioh., September 1. —Garden River, nine miles from the “Soo” on the Canadian side, entertained a distinguished party of visitors todav, when Aliss'Alice Al. Longfellow and Mr’3. J. G. Thorp of Cambridge, Alass,, were guests of the Ojibways, on whose reser vation the settlement is situated. Airs. Thorp and Miss Longfelljw are daugh ters of the famous author of “Hiawatha,” and Garden River is the ancient seat of the Ojibway kings, who ruled a hundred years ago, when the nation was supreme among the aborigines. The last of these kines was the father of the Ghief Hub. wuk-Jlnini, who gave to Longfellow the legends on which “Hiawatha” was based. The poet’s daughters are accompanied by a party of eight or ten, and for the last two weeks they have been camp ing near Desbaiats, on one of the Islands in the extreme northwestern part of Georgian Bay, about 30 miles southeast of Garden River. This place Is supposed to have been the scene of many of Hia watha’s exploits, and a few days ago the Ojib'ways.who are entertaining the Long fellow party,gave a dramatized version of “Hiawatha” for their guests. It was an out-door production and realistic. On Wednesday night Miss Longfellow and Mrs. Thorp, with the other members of the party, who were descended from the poet, were adopted Into the Ojlbway nation, The following morning Miss Longfellow presented her hosts with a handsome portrait of her father framed in birch bark. This will hang in the council house at Garden River. THE SULTAN CONGRATULATED. Constantinople-.

The Ot tawa bouse, the beautiful summer hotel on this island, will shut its doors to the public on Thursday after having expe rienced a most excellent business. -L’he warm weather that has prevailed curing the week has had a beneficial effect on all of the other islands In the harbor so that the exodus to the city has not yet been noticed at Peaks, Great Dia mond and Little Diamond. These Islands on iSaturday held nearly as large a num ber of cottagers as at any time during the summer. With the beginning of the schools next week, however, many of the families will have moved up to the city. r-!'his has been a most delightful sum mer in Casco bay and the season of 1909 will go down in history as one of the best in ail respects. Especially noticeable has been the long run of line weather. There ha^re been very few stormy days and hardly any fogs have obscured the beau tifnl’scenery. These characteristics have been the subject of very general comment among the many people at the islands this summer. Air. William Gordon, M. P., who has i been spending several weeks at the Ot I ta-wa house, left for his home Eriday night. His family will go this week. f_Phfainliios nf Mi* nhurlm and Mr. Lemuel Cushilng have vacate! their oottages at Cushi ng's and have re tamed to their homes in Montreal. Air. Prentiss Cleaves, who has been on of the clerks at the Ottawa, goes back t Ann A. rbor, Mich., to resume his studie at the University at that place. Mr. M J Linden, who lk>s been the head wait t ear, ret urnea to Brown University when he is a student. Mr. Joseph Wade, who has been in charge of the bar, will leave the first of October for Victor,Col., wher to make a few sug gestions.

Geo. H. Griffen, JEWEI4BR, 509 CONGRESS ST. I Indicate? To me it seems the feign of insincerity and that men are exploiting 1 moral laws for immoral purposes. What we need today in the state of Maine is more conscience on the part of the people where the individual heart'touches God! lhe kind of atheism we dread .is the 1 practical atheism. We want somebody who will strike a blow now. We want an oar of legal suasion and an oar of mor ai suasion, ‘‘’hen there i3 a positive side and 1 believe that we must look to it that there shall be furnished to ;the people pi aces tor social enjoyment without this terrible evil. When the time comes every man will be found at his post as was the case in Israel when Gideon was sent by V T,bel? yo,u ,VU tindlthaf tyranny will be broken in Portland as it was in Israel, for forty years. Then there will be liberty from this terrible monster and what an influence for good our state will exert.” TWO BURGLARIES. Thieves Ransack More Houses in Portland. When Mr. and Mrs. Frederic C. Cush ing returned from a residence in the country a few days ago, they found that in their absence their house at 636 JJCurn berland street, had been visited by bur glars. Mrs. Cushing was the first to reach the house and she found it in a con dition which gave ample evidence that the thieves had been through in their search for valuables. Every room had been ransacked. Bureau drawers had been pulled out and overturned, their contents being scatereu on the floors. Mr.Cushing s valuable desk was a wreck, the burglars having almost demolished it when they broke it open. Entrance had been effected at the rear of the house and in the hallway was an axe which must hive been left by the intruders. When Mr. and Mrs. Cushing went away, the greater part of the silver was removed from the hous6 but a dozen tea ^spoons Ur£»r»Q luff nnH _ _ --uv ocwjr liUUVYllH standing the overhauling the burglari gave the premises, these were not no ticed. The burglars were not particular as to the kind of spoils. They took a pair of gold bracelets and packed a dress suit case with some of Air Cushing’s wear ing apparel A pair of bedside slippers was also stolen and a variety or small articles. Just when the robbery was com mitted is not known. One of the neigh bors noticed a day or two before Air. and Airs. Cushing’s return that the back door of the house Avas open but thought that some of thd family was probably at the house and so did not investigate. A card of matches, found on the back door steps of one of the houses nearby, would indi cate that the b urglary was done in the night and that this house too had been visited, although no attempt to enter It bad apparently been made. BURGLARY ON CUSHA1AN STREET. The family of C. W. Pickard of Cush man street has been away for the sum mer at the Cape. Saturday they returned home and found that during their ab sence someone had entered the house and stolen a large amount of clothing and other arcicles. In every room of the house were found burnt matches showing that the break had been made during the night time, The police had not been notified of the break Saturday night. 212 THE MARGINAL WAY. To the Editor of the Press: Portland, September 1, 1800. I was much pleased to read your arti cle in Saturday’s Daner in rea-ard tn th« Marginal Way. I fully agree with you that it is an unwise thing to dispose of the Marginal Way at this time at a price that those who are seeking it would give, and I venture the assertion that the last city government would not have seriously thought of such a thing as many of its members had years of exper ience in city affairs which is of great advantage. The present city govern ment is composed of many new members who would no doubt act In accord with their [best judgment, but they lack ex perience, therefore they should not pass hastily upon a matter so vital as the Marginal Way. In fact no city govern ment should do so. The council should consider the state of affairs past and present. The Margi nal Way was built at a cost of over $100, 000 for purposes of development and re quirements of the near future, which did not develop as rapidly as desired and the city received from parties but a nominal rental for many years. Now at a time when everything points to an Im mediate realization of our hopes, it Is unwise to hastily dispose of it at a nomi nal sum. Most corporations look much farther ahead than the city. Most all brains now run from Union station to Preble street. Coal pockets are to be built m Back Bay side, the Grand Trunk passenger station soon to be removed to nake room for increasing freight busi less, are to have cold storage plants and many other developments that are only waiting for certain things to be accom plished. The loss of $25,000 is not so arge as to prove disastrous should we lot sell, Bet us wait and watch the oom ng events, and reap the benefits and not jive them to another. Careful Observer.

Washington, September 1.—Complet official returns for the fiscal year ende June 30, 1900, show that 1,446 vessels o 393,108. gross tons were built and docu mented in the United States. Since 186 this record has been exceeded only twice in 1804, when 416,740 gross tons weri built and In 1874 when 432,725 gross ton were built. The construction may bt classed according to the toliowing types: Schooners, schooner bartres and sloops 499, of 109,605 gross tons; Great laki steam vessels, 25, of 97,847 gross tonnage canal boats and barges, 625, of 74,86( gross tons; ocean screw steamships, 20 of 60,369 gross tons; river steamers, 375 of 44, 282 gross tons; square rigged ves sels, 4, of 6,205 gross tons. The steam vessels built—420, of 202, 498 gross tons—surpass the record. The steel vessels built, 90, of 196,851 gross tons, exceed the previous recorc year 1899, when 91 such vessels of 181,379 gross tons were built. Cleveland, Ohio, ranks first as a builder of steel vessels, with nine steamships of 42,119 gross tons, followed by Newport News, 7 steamships, of 28,202 gross tons; Chicago, 5 vessels, of 24,504 tons, and Detroit, 4, of 15,6: i: tons. During the past decade, the steam vessels built in the United States aggre gates 465 of 7£2,830 gross tons, of which 189 of 450,089 tons, were built on the Great Lakes. Eor comparison it may be not3d that the British board of trade reports 827 steel steam vessels of 1,423,344 gross tons were built in the United Kingdom during 1899. During the past 10 years 69 steam vessels of 194,080 gross tons, were built at Cleveland, and 110 of 138,593 gross tons at Philadelphia. The total tonnage built and document ed on the Great Lakes during the year, 125 vessels of 130,611 gross tons, is the largest in the history of that region. The total for the Middle Atlantic and Gulf coasts, 605 vessels of 135,473 tons exceeds ontr tmnnrrl cinna 1 'I’ko rnloi *-■_ New England coast, 199 vessels of 72,179 gross tons, has not been equalled since 1891, while the product of the Pacific coast, 800 vessels, of 40,396 tons, is sur passed only by the returns of 1898 and 1899. Construction on the Mississippi river and tributaries, 217 vessels, 14,509 tons, Is 9,000 less than 1899. The foregoing figures do not cover yachts or government vessels, THE ELDEK- DEMPSTEK CO. DE VELOPING. New York, September 1.—It Is learned here on good authority that, in addition to the purchase of a fleet of twenty-five vessels in England, recently, Elder Dempster Co. have made arrange ments to run a line of steamships from London to Jamaica. Three steamers of 3,000 tons displacement are being built on the Clyde. Early next year five steamers will be built to replace the first three, which, is said, may be used for a line to Bermuda, jut nothing definite as to this has yet been made public. IS A BIG DEAL.

ON FITCHBURG LEASE. Boston, September 1.—Section three of the act ratifying the lease of the Fitch burg to the Boston Maine railroad pro vides that any holder of preferred stock who is dissatisfied with the terms of the lease may have a valuation put upon his holdings by either a commission ora jury in the same manner as other civil cases are tried before the court having jurisdic tion and oblige the Boston Maine corporation to purchase his shares at that price. It is understood that a number of Fitchburg stockholders have already obtained an expert analysis of th 3 condi tion of the road,with a view to ascertain ing whether any advantage is to be ob tained under this section, and that they have been so impressed at this report that thay are working to interest other hold ers, On their success in this line depends the likelihood of any action. They will probably encounter a good deal of scepti cism, however, as to whether the advan ages are real or merely apparent. The ninety days set by the bill as the limit after which appeals cannot be made expire October 1, and until that date there will be considerable Interest to know just what proportion of tha stock holders wiirtake advantage of the sec tion, which was inserted.it is understoo d at the Instance of Governor Crane. WAR TROPHY STOLEN. Attleboro, Mass .September 1.—A brass cannon which saw service in the Civil War and was afterwards presented by an aot of Congress to the William A,Thresh er post, G. A. K,, has disappeared from its position near the KolriinT-s’ ment at Woodlawn cemetery. It Is be lieved that It was stolen by junk thieves The gun weighed 800 pounds, anc Jlhe veterans, who prize it highly, are great ly exercised over the theft. FIRE BUG AT BRADLEY Oldtown, September 1.—A disastrous Are occurred in Bradley Friday evening. The Oldtown fire companies were called out. The residences of Daniel Parlin, F. O. Leavit and James A. Rich were destroyd. Loss $11,000; insurance on property and furniture about $0,000. This fire follows one of J uly 16, when four structures were destroyed. It is also the third fire in less than six months. The fire is supposed to have been the work of incendiaries. SEARCHING FOR A CREW. London, September 1.—The gunboat which has been searching for the missing boats with part of the crew of the wrecked British steamer lndra, has re turned to Aden without meeting any suc cess. An empty boat belonging to the In dra was found ashore at Rasalula and it is now believed that the occupants have been rescued by some passing vessel and are being carried to Bombay or Colombo. NO DISAGREEMENT. Washington, September 1.—Mr. Adee, the aoting Secretary of State, does not hesitate to set the seal of his disapproval upon the stories that have been put afloat to the effect that there has been a disa- J greement of policy between the President l and Secretary Hay as to China, involv ing possible changes in the cabinet. Mr. Adee snvs the cfnvlua 1 lug In foundation. He feels able to en ter the broadest denial of the accuracy a of the statements for the reason that ha 1 has been In daily and almost hburly f communication with the Secretary ol State by mail and wire at the latter's (5 home and is perfectly acquainted with the Secretary's views respecting pendinc issu63. Therefore he is able to say that 3 Mr Hay is thoroughly in accord with the President In his Chinese policy, while on the other hand, the President has given his unqualified approval to every step In the negotiations which were directed to Mr. Hay.
