the Public of Maine

To the Public Of Maine:
Having announced the intention of taking
my great travelling show as far East as Ban
gor, it seems proper that l should state my
reasons for a change of programme. The
daily expenses of my great combination being
twenty-five hundred dollars, it is found on
examination that many of the small towns
where we should be obliged to stop do not
contain inhabitants enough at fifty cents, TO
cover my expenses. Several bridges also are
impossible for some of my largest chariots.
l am therefore compelled to commence our
return trip after reaching Waterville, that
town being as far East as it seems prudent for
us 10 go with so large combination of exhi-
billions.

Annexation to the United States Seriously
Contemplated.

am enabled to lay before the HERALD's
readers the news that in Hayt there has been
another attempt at revolution at Port au
Prince. A second attack was made upon the
arsenal, but the rebels were defeated and a
large number arrested.
A great feeling of disgust prevails among
the respectable portion of the inhabitants at
the unsettled state Of the country; they declare
that the frequent revolutions since the inde-
pendence of the country was declared have
operated most disastrousy for those who
possessed wealth and intellect. This class
seriously contemplate annexation to the United
States, and only wait until st. Domingo comes
under the control Of Uncle Sam before making
demonstrations in that direction. This feeling
is rapidly spreading, but the President, how
ever, remains quite popular.

Rebel Cotton Bonds and Tenian Raids
Claims Brought Forward.

WAsHINGroN, Feb. II, 1871.
There Is already some apprehension IN certain
quarters here that the joint High Commission may
disagree at the outset upon the terms or the lnvestt
CATION committed to It's charge. One OF the WASH
ington papers this morning, In an article said to
have been inspired bv Official prompting, takes the
ground that the claims OF Canada for Fenian raids
cannot come before the Commission, as the objects
or the inquiry are limited to an Investigation OF the
fishery question and claims growing out OF acts
committed during the recent civil in this coun-
try. But, on the other hand 1t Is argued that the
original proposition OF Sir Edward Thornton
was ITO treat OF and discuss the mode OF settling
the dierent questions whicn have arisen out of the
fisheres as we'll those which affect the relations
OF the United States towards Her Majesty's possess
sions In North America Mr.. Fish agreed to this
proposition In the exact language OF the British
Minister, provided the Inquiry was extended to the
Alabama claims and other claims growing out OF
the civil war, &C This a proposition to enlarge
the Held OF inquiry, not to limit the original propO-
sitlon, ana 1t Is argued that 1t does not limit il.
Some people say 1t s "A bad omen at the start that
there should be apparently attempt to get out or
the only construction OF which the agreement u
susceptible; for they say there can be no ques-
tion that Mr. Fish, however unwittngly, has
entered into an arrangement which must include
consideration or the Canadian claims for Fenian
raids 1t Is whispered now, that In the desire TO
meet the apparently friendly overtures OF England
1T Is possible we may find ourselves really further
from an adjustment than ever, for there is also be-
lief on the part OF many prominent men here that
the assent to The Commission gives quasi sanction.
not only to the claims Fenlan raids. but also to
the English cotton claims, and various other caims
which VIII enable England to balance the account
without the interchange OF any cash.
Sir Edward Thornton Is delighted. II ls said he
considers the appointment OF the Joint High Com
mission to consider all claims, pro and con,
triumph In diplomacy for England. Meantime,
leading Senators take the grouud that they are in
no way committed to sanction the agreement which
may be entered into by the Commission, and thas
they viii exercise the same Judgment regarding it
that they would with reference to the action of any
other convention coming before them for ratihca-

buttons so far received by the Chamber of
Commerce at 1874, 45S, and by the chairman of
the Produce Exchange at $l3, ,47O, making a
total of $47,928 This is good; but we want
some general movement in this cause in order
to get the government ship from New York off
with her cargo for the suffering French and
Germans before the government ship from
Philadelphia or Boston. If the ministers of
divine charity in our various churches to-day
were to take hold of this good work we think
they would not come Off empty handed. We
respectfully throw out the hint for their con-

sent over three thousand tens of supplies to

humanity, will surely do her duty.

Congress Yesterday.

Yesterday was a quiet day in Washington.
Even in the House Of Representatives, where
the angry pillows Of contention 30 generally
personal explanation was made-not sol-
tary word of abuse or denunciation against
any one uttered A number of private bills
were passed, together with couple of bills
relating to public lands in Alaska aud the
region OF the Pacific coast, and bill to dis
pose of useless military reservations. The
consideration of the famous McGarrahan claim
was fixed for next Saturday, and notice was
given by Mr.. Hooper, Chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means of his intention to
make another effort next Wednesday to get
up the bill to repeal the income tax. We hope
that the selfish fears of the iron and coal men
of Pennsylvania and of the salt man of Syra-
cuse will not again defeat this movement and
infict on the country continuance of this
odious tax.
The Senate devoted itself yesterday princi-
pally to the consideration of private business
1t agreed to the report of the conference CON-
mittee on the bill pensioning the veterans of
1912, so that that measure now only requires
the signature of the President to become
law. And it also had up for discussion
another land grant bill for railroad in Utah
and Colorado. Time spent on land grant
bills at the present session is SO much time
lost, as not one of them can pass the House,
unless it may be the Southern Pacific Railroad
bill, which is in position where it can be
passed by majority tote
