LONDON, March 17.-In the HOus of Com
mons, Mr.. Defe member for Rea ding, said
that the managers of the Inman line positively
denied that the steamer City of Boston was
overloaded with corn in bulk. They believed
her still afoat.
Mr.. Mansell, Under Secretary for the Colo
NAL Department, stated that delegation had
gone from Canada to arrange matters in the
Red River district, and that he exonerated the
Catholic priests from all responsibility in the
lawlessness.
Mr.. Gladstone said the Fenian prisoner
were we'll treated, but the government courted
inquiry on the subject. Two prisoners had
certainly gone mad and had therefore been re-
leased. One of these (Rouke), who was con.
cerned IN the Clerkenwell affair, was slowly
recovering at an asylum. An amnesty of Fee
MAN prisoners was dntimely in the presence
of continued violence. (Cheers.) The tran.
guilty OF Ireland was an essential prelimina-
ry. When loyal men are able to pursue a
livelihood in peace and confidence, then am.
nesty will be proper
Winchester FOrtescue. Chief Sacretoru for
Ireland, gave notice of a bill for protection OF
life and property in Ireland, He recanitulated
the outrages in Ireland in 1866. Nine murders
had been committed, yet two murderers only
nad been brought to trial. The agrarian Of
lences since that time aggregated about 1900,
mainly threatening letters and unlawful Oaths
The government needed more powers to re-
press lawlessness and terrorism in ireland
which was mainly due to Fepianism.

YOUNG THIEVES ARREsTED.-For q long
time back number of storekeepers have lost
small articles from their stores, and the Depu
ties have been on the watch to discover tie
thieves. Information was lodged at the police
station yesterday morning that considerable
quantity of clothing had been stolen from the
store of r. X. Hunt, on Congress street, on
Wednesday afternoon. The goods consisted OF
shirts, undershirts, drawers and cardigan jack
cts, amounting in all to about $50. Deputy
Perry went in pursuit of the goods immediate
ly. In the secondhand clothing store of one
Meenan, on Fore street, was found the greater
prrt of the stolen goods. Inquiries of Meenan
disclosed the fact that he had bought them OF
three boys named Fred. Webb, Wescott, and
Frank jackson, who had stolen them from the
back part of Hunts store. The boys were ar
rested and have owned up. They are old Of
lenders, and will no doubt be sent to the Re-
form School
In the meantime Deputy Bolton, who was
searching after some other goods, found in the
store of this same Meenan, a box of butter
knives, which Meenan said he had nnrcbased
for so cents. The knives were worth 80 and
the low price paid convinced the officer that
they had been stolen. He took them to Hunt g
and while there boy told hsm he had seen the
boys when they sold them, and gave their
names as Howard Mitchell and William De-
low. The knives proved to be the property o,
Rufus Durham, who keeps at the corner Of
Fore and Union streets. In Meenan's store
were also found several wallets stolen from the
store of Hall L. Davis. The boys were arrest
ed and taken to the station house.
Deputy Perry al so discovered pair of MIC
kid gloves that had been stolen from Mrs
and a pair of suspenders and buckskil

Ayers Cherry PectoraL
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Conslinnrtion

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon tiie confidence Of Iudnklnd as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pecsoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses,
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
, be had. Take small doses three times a day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For Whoopin0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
rat on hand to protect them, in case Of attack,
hn ohnyT spfo IT,
spares the patient great amount Of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could other aid. Parents keep itin your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives, dear to you
may be saved by 1t.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that the best qualities it ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The storm.

Tie storm.
The severe gale and snow-stOrm which COM
menced in this city Wednesday afternoon
continued throughout the day and evening
yesterday, although the wind was not quite as
high as on Wednesday night.
Yesterday morning the city presented a
beautiful spectacle, every branch and twig
laden with its snow-whte burden, while over
the fronts of the buildings were rare designs
executed in the feecy material by old Boreas
himself By evening about foot of snow had
fallen, and in some places the snow bad drifted
pretty badly, but it was so damp and heavy
that il did not make such bad travelling as If
it had been light.
The brig mentioned by us in yesterday morn
ing's issue as having run into the wharf and
experiencing severe damage was the brig Ivan
hoe. A schooner drifted against the Mary H
Chase and carried away her head gear. A
vessel at Browns wharf sustained some injury
A couple of coasters drifted over to the Cape
shore and ran afoul of the Mary Lizzie, smash
ing her bulwarks in. The Chase for Hall
fax, which anchored in the roads, came back
and anchored off Atlantic wharf. The Gear
lotta,' from Halifax, is probably outside, wait
ing to get in. The tides were high yesterday,
AID washed over the ends of Long and Union
wharves, and filled number of cellars on
Commercial street The snow-storm was very
thick and binding all day yesterday.
The morning train from Saco river On the
Portland & Rochester road was about half an
hour behind time, and the noon train from
Alfred due here at 11.3O, arrived at O'clock
The Boston train came in on time. TIE morn
ing train from Augusta was half an hour late,
and the noon train So minutes. On the Maine
Central the train got off the track and had not
arrived when the post Office closed. An en-
CINE had been sent to its assistance. The
South Paris train on the Grad trunk, due here
at A. NJ. had not arrived here at P. M. The
$50 p. NJ. train out on the Portland & Roches-
ter road got out short distance from the city
and was obliged to return on account of the
deep snow.

To the Editor Of the Press:


AS the time is drawing near when a new
valuation must be taken on which to assess the
taxes of this city for the present year, permit
me to ask few questions through the medium
of your paper, ON subject that concerns all
tax payers. There is quite large amount of
unoccupied land in this city held by its owners
at very high prices, that for some time past has
paid not any or merely nominal tax. Will
any one be SO good as to inform me if this is
right and where they find the law to sustain
such practice? I believe the laws of this
State direct that property shall be taxed ac-
cording to its value, and not according to its
income. And is not this policy directly OPP
posed to the interests of the city by its encour-
agement to owners of land to hold on to it till
they can get larger prices? Three years ago
man who owns a large number of city lots
said to me, Il have no fault to find with the
city in regard to taxes, and the srise of land
will pay me good interest for waiting" am
willing to pay a just tax, but am not willing
to pay larger tax on my property when my
neighbor over the way has more property than
[ am worth that pays nothing

Brief Outings,

The alarm of fire about IL o'clock yesterday
morning, was occasioned by the burning of
cask of lime stored in shed on the westerly
side of Union wharf The high tide reached
the lime and set it ON fire. The fire was extin-
guished without the aid of the fire engines.
The lime belonged to the Cumberland Paper
Mills.
The snow blockade was pretty effectual
yesterday. Few persons were met on the
street. Everybody was housed that could be.
The Advertiser man had his war paint on
yesterday. We have no doubt that standing
throughout performance like that of Wednes-
day evening must be very aggravating.
A masquerade surprise party was given TO
j. M. Palmer, Esq, at his new rooms on Mid

complete success.
