proposed to shorten the passage between
 London and the leading cities of the United
 States by three days. The idea is to build a
 line from Cape North to Cape Breton in Nova
 Scotia, and thence to the Straits of Canso.
 Here connection will be established with the
 Halifax and Cape Breton railroad, which is
 already constructed so New Glasgow. From
 the latter point road is to be built to Oxford
 to meet the Intercolonial railroad which runs
 to St. John. A bridge is then to be put over
 the St. John river, which will open the way
 to communication with the different rail
 routes at present built to New York, Montre- al, Chicago and other cities. So far as the shortening of the water route across the ocean is concerned, the proposition of the projected company is to put on line of fast steamers to cross. the Irish Channel, and then to traverse the ocean from Galway to New foundland, and lastly to cross the mouth of the St. Lawrence Gulf from Cape Ray to Cape North. Here the railroad facilities will
 be called into requisition, and passengers may secure rapid transit to any point they may desire to reach. By the above outlined system of combined water and rail route the
 projectors of this latest scheme of rapid travel claim they can gain the three days of time which they undertake to save.
 The President has no power to set aside the sentence of the court martial which con demned Fitz John Porter, but this does not weaken General Porter's claims to justice. It is now said that if the President will move by pardon the disability imposed (which he has the power to do) and will direct the attention of Congress to the subject an effort will be made by bill to authorize him to nominate General Porter to the rank he held when dismissed In view of the in justice with which General Porter has been treated there should be no unnecessary delay in giving him his rights. The board of army officers named by President Hayes in 1878 to review his case reported that justice re- quired the aunulling of his sentence and his to his former rank. It went fur ther, and declared that, so far from deserving censure for his conduct General Porter actually was worthy of the highest honor, ,and that his patriotic services on the occasion of the second battle of Bull Run very likely sav- ed the army of Pope from greater disaster than it actually sustained. At this rehearing much testimony was introduced which was not available at the first court martial, show ing that Pope was in complete ignorance Of the rebel forces in front of Porter and indi- eating clearly that Porter acted in way to prevent the overwhelming disaster which would have followed had he not held those forces in check. Since then General Grant, who, it is said, once believed that General Porter ought to be shot, has re-examined the case and has frankly expressed his complete change of view and his belief that Porter has been i'll treated.

WlLSONIA MAGNETIC GARMENTS Great Reduction in Price.

It is now positively asserted and every day being demonstras ed that there is not disease in the long catalogue that the Wilsonia Magnetic Garments will not cure. and if you will call and let explain the scientific principle you will believe it. The Wisonia is fast gaining popularity as curative of disease. Read the following testimonial from the Rev. Dr. Dennen, pastor of the Third Congregational Church of this city:

JULIUS IvEs-Dear Sir: Having your W'lsonia Garments for several months and received very marked benefit from them, I deem it more than due to you to make this statement have been sufferer at times from rheumatism in it's most ag- gravated forms; since putting on your garments have been almost wholly relieved and have regained much of my former vgor and elasticity.

A pamphlet has been published in Belgium and other countries written somewhat in the vein of ''The Battle of Dorking." It de- scribes the siege of Antwerp in 1900. It makes Germany supreme in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. France engages in war with Germany in 1896, and is dismembered, and the several provinces are called ''The United States of France" Ger many then determines to annex Holland and Belgium, that her natural frontier. the Ger man ocean, may be secured. When the in- vestment of Antwerp is complete the English government sends afeet to succor the city, but the British are defeated by the German fleet, aided by the French vessels absorbed in the force of their conquerors. Holland and Belgium, on the fall of Antwerp, are joined to Germany, and Te Deums are sung from one end of Europe to the ether-

Maine Militia,

The report of the officers of the regular
army sent to the various State encampments
is made public
Second Lieutenant J. II. Totten returns an
elaborate statement Of his observations at the
Maine militia muster at Augusta Three

and six gun battery form the division,
commanded by Major General J. l.. Chamber
lain While commenting the troops the
report hnds plenty to crIticise and hints
whereby the militia can be improved The
men are not properly uniformed. Dress
uniforms only are provided. No fatigue suits
are issued. not so much as caps, aud the
result is that citizens clothing is worn in
camp when off duty. Not half the companies
are provided with overcoats. and the
blankets are too small and light. No
floors were furnished for the tents, and a
general lack of proper equipments was
noticed. This is largely due to the attempt
made to keep up division on the scant an
nual appropriation-Sl6,0 00-made by the
State. A decrease in the troops to tive regi-
ments, or an additional appropriation, would
seem to be necessary. One thing seems to
have been entered into with great spirit. that
is target practice. Began in 1880, this year
one-half the encampment had qualified them
selves as marksmen, and the national guard
team sent to CreedmoOr stood fourth among
the numerous teams competing. This indi

People in the vicinity Of Vickery's Pub
fishing House have been troubled for some
time from an odor which was at first sup
posed to come from the sewer. The health
officers were notified but were unable to find
the trouble Wednesday it was discovered
that the gas pipes were leaking on Court
street. The leak was 50 bad that enough OF
the gas escaped through the ground, so that
it could be lighted in several places on the
surface. During Wednesday night some 5000
feet was wasted. The company are making
repairs, and undoubtedly no more trouble
will be experienced.

A note from the Secretary of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars of Maine says
work for the advancement of the order and
the cause of temperance is being pushed
throughout the State to the full extent OF the
means and ability of the Grand Lodge. New
lodges were organized last week in Aroos-
took, Washington, Sagadahoc and Cumber-
land counties, and several organizers are in
the field. Some 40 lodges have been installed
during the past six or eight months, which
will make good the average losses and add
something to the grand total in Name
which now numbers nearly 800 lodges, with
10000 members. Besides this there is
Juvenile Temple army of some 80 Temples
and several thousand children pledged to
total abstinence from not only alcohol, but
tobacco and profanity. Towns, settlements
and places large or small, desiring to start
lodge of this the largest and most prominent
temperance organization in existence, should
correspond with the Grand Secretary at Bel
last at once and obtain full particulars.
