SHARP POLITICAL DEBATE.
Newspaper Publishers Convention

Especial Dispatch by Interna ional Line.l
AUGUSTA, Feb 20.-The Senate had unde
consideration to-day the assumption of mum
cipal war debts. The amendment offered BY
Mr.. Farley of Lincoln, increasing the amount
assumed two-fold, was under discussion. Mr.
Greene of Oxford, favored the amendment
Mr.. ROBBIE of Cumberland opposed ii. He made
it appear that equalization of the war debt
will fall very heavily on Cumberland County
Nine towns lose $355,766; fourteen towns gain
S29 1888, and Cumberland County pays into the
State Treasury S326,42 to equalize the town
debts Of other sections Of the State. The
amendment of Mr.. Farley doubles this amount
The question creates much interest and will
be further discussed tomorrow.
The bill giving the city of Portland power 10
aid the ogdensburg Railroad win engage the
attention of the House tomorrow.
The House had sharp political debate to-
day on the question of granting Elliot demo
craft Of Waldo Comfy, pay as a contestant for
q seat In that branch, occupying the whole af-
ternoon. He was anything else but a war
democrat, and DIR. Billings of the same coun-
~, used him rather hard. The discussion took
a wide range, and the history of both political
parties was discussed with ability by Bradbury
of Hollis, Andrews of Buckfield, and Hubbard
Of Berwick, democrats. and by Hale of Ellis
worth and Dingley of Lewiston, republicans.
The officers Of the Eastern Associated Press

SPAIN.
MADRID, Feb. fS.-Dispatches Just received
in this city from the Provinces convey the in
telligence that the leaders of the Carlist party
have effected revolution against the author
ity of Queen Isabella in the North, and that
their adherents have taken up arms in consid.
cradle numbers in Navarro.
Skirmishes have taken place between the
Civil Guard and the insurgents in the city OF
Navarro, the Queens officers maintaining their
allegiance. Some few persons were wounded
during the tumult, and the ancient Franco
Hispano province of Navarro is agitated at
many points. 1t appears as if the movement
is the result of deliberate and well planned
organization. the police are ON the alert, and
have seized documentary evidence of the fact
The officers have already found and carried
away from Navarro three thousand copies OF
revolutionary placards or maniiestoes address
ed to the people of Spain. Each copy is head
ed with a portrait of the eldest son of Don
Juan, who is entitled Charles the Seventh OF
Spain, second cousin to Queen Isabella, and
grandson of Don Carlos, who made the wal
against her accession to the throne.

USE RESULT OF TIE ERIE RINGS"
The combinations now c~ontending
for supremacy in the Erie railroad, have
ct last accoua plished the distrust OF Brit
ish capitalists, which it was predicted was
certain to follow upon such rascality as
has been discovered on both sides and
the consequence is that the general rail-
road interests Of the United States are
likely to be affected detrimentsiIy, in
the esteem Of 8 class Of men to whom we
owe much of the progress Ii country
has made in railway extension.
We learn that at a general meeting
held recently in London by the owners
Of foreign bonds and securities, and pre-
sided over by Mr.. GosCHEN, 8 commission
was appointed to report every week on
the financial condition of Europe and
America. This meeting was held with
the view of protecting the interests OF
the English holders OF bonds and other
foreign securities against the fluctuations
of foreign markets, and particularly
against these of the United States. The
intelligent correspondent from whom
we gather these facts, adds: "The
apn in which the Erie bonds have
been recently managed he's created great
suspicion among English capitalists"
50 much for railroad combinations and
(" rings.n
