Incidents at the Chamber Of Commerce
Dinner.
NEW YORK, May Sat a dinner at the
Chamber of Commerce last night, Judge Noah
DAVIS spoke in response to toast to The State
OF New York." In the course of his remarks
he turned to the President, Mr.. Dodge, of the
hrm OF Phelps, Dodge & Co., and said that as
much as he had been denounced for saying that
while the firm of the President had violated
the law, yet they had been free from fraud. He
Davis never had entertained contrary opin-
ion, and whers statute had been violated, it
was the duty of the public officer to prosecute
whether the act was done in ignorance of the
law or not.
Mr.. Dodge replied by saying that an insinua.
ton that Judge Davis wrote letter to his
firm under promise of compensation was un-
true, and not one cent directly or indirectly,
had been paid or offered Judge Davis.
Mayor Havemeyer, in his speech at the same
banquet, said the city of New York wa, treated

MAINE CENTENNIAL CoMMIssIoN.-At The
meeting of the Centennial Commission fol
Maine at Augusta Thursday night, an Execu-
Messrs. Kimball, Sprague and McMullen; also
a committee to prepare an address to the peo-
pie of the State, consisting of Messrs Shaw,
Simpson and Sprague. The following resolu.
tions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That, to our sister States of the
Union that propose to unite in the proper OBJ
servanee of the centennial anniversary of the
independence of the United States, we send
our cordial and fraternal greetings, accompan-
led by pledge that no efforts shall be lacking
on our part to secure for Maine proper repre-
sentation on that great occasion. That, not
forgetting the records of other States, we rec
ognize the propriety of locating this celebra-
ton at Philadelphia, SO imperishaby connected
with the glorious memories of the revolution,
and we extend our thanks to her people fol
their patriotic aid so largely and freely extend
ed to the centennial exposition.
ResolUed, That, while not dscouraging aid
from other sources, we respectfully nrge the
friends of the centennial to Immediately organ
ize, In each State and Territory, the most per-
feet system to reach the hearts of the entire
people of the country, and to interest them in
the success of the centennial exposition, and
to receive from true patriotic American citizens
such sums for the stock as each shall see fit to
contribute.
Resolued, That we fully believe that such a
course will be the means of bringing the whole
subject directly before the people, and of in
teresting them in the grandest enterprise our
natiou has ever witnessed The people of the
nation have never failed to promptly respond
to any great call on their patriotism. They did
not fail in 1776. We still have the utmost
faith in them, and believe that when fairly in
formed of the objects of the centennial and
properly appealed to- they will as promptly and
cordially respond now as heretofore.
