have Seccntly occurred will necessarily
awaken the Governments TO the impor.
tance ofpromptly adjustinga dispute, by
d which il is now made manifest that the
peoce of the two nations is daily aud i'm.
minently endangered.
This expectation is frrher warranted
by the general forbearance which has
hitherto characterized the conduct OF the
Government and people on both sides OF
the line. la the uniform patriotism OF
Maine, her attachment to the Union, her
respect for the wishes Of the people OF
her sister States of whose interest In her
welfare she cannot be unconscious, and.
in the solcitude felt by the country at
large for the preservation Of peace with
our noighbors, we have strong guarantee
that she will not Disregard the request
that has been made OF her.
As, however, the session Of Congress
is about to terminate, and the agency
of the Executive may become necessary
during the recess, it is important that
the attention of the Legislature should be
drawn to the consideration Of such mea.
sures as may be calculated to obviate
The necessity Of call for an extra ses-
sion. With that view, have thought it
my duty to lay the whole matter bo.
fore you, and to invite such action there.

British authorities persist IN maintaining exclu-
sive jurisdiction by military force, the exigeney
will have occurred in which, under the Consti-
tuition, it will become the duty of the President
to repel invasion. That il the Government OF
New Brunswick shall refrain from executing
its threat Of enforcing exclusive Jurisdiction,
and Maine refuse TO Withdraw her troops. Maine
will not then be entitled to the military aid OF
the United States.
Ia the House. Mr.. Howard, Of Maryland,
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to
whom the Presidents messages. Of yesterday
and the day before had been referred, made a
report on the subject Of the Maine Border war.
The report was accompanied by bill, making
provision for the raising Of sixteen regiments OF
infantry, two do. of rilemen, do. of dragons,
and do. Of artillery. II also provides for the
raising Of loan Of - millions Of dollars, to
carry on the war. 1t is said that the blank will

yides for the salary and outfit of special Min

WASHINGTON, March 1. 1889.

The Maine question hns awakened q
strong feeling among the members Of the
federal legislature. Some difference of
opinion il is true prevails; some members
are in fuvor Of stronger aud some of nilder
measures, but all are agreed in denying the
right of Great Britain to any part Of the
territory claimed by Maine, and nearly all
are in favor of taking some decided step to
bring to q conclusion the controversy CON
corning ths, boundary, which has now be-
come the most serious which we have with
any foreign power.
Mr.. Buchanan's resolutions relating TO
this controversy, were taken up in the Sen
ate to-day, and were made the subjec, Of
long and earnest debate. 80
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Williams complained
Of the resolutions for not sustaining suffi-
ciently the State Of Maine in the course she
had taken. The concluding resolution,
which called on that State to desist from
the measures she was taking to protect her
lawful territory, under the penalty of being
abandoned by the federal government, was
neither courteous nor just to the State.
She was engaged in = righiful quarrel, and

o. THE Car OUT OF THE BAe.-The
advertisements and bills of the Steam Boat
Lexington are headed People, New Line"
y" No Monopoly" &c, although i, is we'll
known that she is put on this line by the
H0nopoty Ca. ON purpose to run against
the Richmond. Something which occurred
here on Monday evening proves this, con
clusively. A dispute arose on the wharf
respecting which boat the mail should be
sen, by; when person well known to- BE-
interested in the Monopoly Co., said that
the mail had always been carried in the
Company's boats, and that it should 20 in

STEAMBOAT J. w. RIcHMoND.-The line
of conduct pursued by the Directors of This
boat Is such as merits public appreciation
and we nre glad to see that approbslion So
decidedly evinced, as ii is. by the preference
shown for her by travellers. Since she has
resumed her trips, this season, she has had
an average Of more than $50 passengers,
and full loads Of freight. This is as it
should be, and we hope the travelling pub
lie will continue to sustain her, and thereby
contribute to their own interest.
During the winter, as soon as the Rich
mond stepped running. the fare was raised
on the Sronngtsn route to eight dollars d!
When she resumed her trips il was reduced
to fUs dollars. and il has subsequently, been
reduced to three dolIlts. On SATURDAY af.
terncoh The Lexington left New York in
company with the Richmond, bringing pas
sengers for one dollar in the cabin and fifiy
cents on deck This is another attempt on
the part of the Transportation, or Monopo-
ly Company to drive the Richmsnd off the
line-the Lexington being in the employ,
or owned by that Company. She arrived
here about seven minutes before the Rich
mond, no efforts being made on board that
beat to increase her ordinary speed.
The Directors ofthe Richmond have pos
itivsly instructed Capt. Townsend not tn
increase the ordinary speed of his boat while
running with the Lexington, and our con.
fidence in Capt. Townsend enables us to
assure travellers that their safety will not be
endangered on board his boat, by any at
tempt to race with the Lexington. In pr0of
fthis We will mention what took place ON
Monday last, when the two boats left Prov
idence. The X. waited some time for The
Lexington to start, but finding HAT she was
waiting for the purpose of forcing trial of
speed, il possible, the Richmond started and
the Lexington directly after her. As soon
rs the Richmond got into the channel Can't.
Townsend stopped her engine and permit
ted the Lexington to pass, thereby quietiug
the apprehrnsions of his passengers as to
any danger which trial Of speed might oc-
cnsion. This is the right course, and we
believe that the public will appreciate and
reward the forbcarance which it manifests.
The Richmond had over 200 passengers
and the Lexington about $50.
We are informed that public meeting
was held in Boston, on Monday, Mt which
resolutions were passed to sustain the pro-
prietors ofthe Richmond in their lavdable ef.
forts to transport travellers al reasonable and
regular prices.

A SrEc OF War At THE SourH.-The u.
States schooner Dolphin, Lieut.. Purviance,
came near having brush with the French brig
Baardelaise, on the Sd instant, off the mouth Of
the Salado. II seems that the American schr
Fleet had entered the port contrary TO the
blockade, and that the French Admiral had
given orders to capture her when she came out
This the Dolphin determined TO oppose, and
accordingly cleared their decks for action, dou-
bic shotted the guns, and sent the stars and
stripes alof. This was rather more of demon.
stration than Johnny Crepeau" had relish
for, aud therefore invited Lieut.. Puvianse on
board the brig, when they held "a talk" and
agreed to refer the dispute to the French Ad.
miral, who settled the matter amcably.
