manly Conduct by Englishman.

association of America arrived last night
from England. He states that Mr.. Chatteris,
president Of the English amateur rowing as
sociation, informed him that the two last
crews from America, Cornell and Shoewalc-
smetti crews, had proved very ungentlemanly
in their conduct, and it was the determine
ton to guard against giving another crew an
opportunity to display their vulgarity which
prevented their acceptance of the Hillsdales

Hillsdales were a regular amateur club
whose challenges would be considered &C.
ceptable by regular clubs of America. Chat

GERMANY's POSITION.
The Maintenance of European Peace
Her Only Aim.

BERLIN, Aug. II.
The Greuzbaten, an officially inspired or
gan, says Germany cannot risk the loss of
the good will of the other powers by paralyiz-
ing or counteracting their policy, unless she
is absolutely forced to do so. She has neither
the wish nor the right to play the part of
European censor, she will neither give a
mandate to England to act on the Nile, nor
hinder her from doing what she may think
necessary for British interests. The inter-
ests of Germany have not been mcnaced. If
they are menaced hereafter she will have
plenty of time to take her resolutions. Her
only aim is European peace, which will be
maintained"

THOMAS b. SWAN. but truth compels
us to say that there are many convicts in
our State Prison, whose testimony under
oath, upon any matter in which they had
an interest, would be received with more
credence by the public than the testimony
of Swan against Wallace r. White. Swan
was expelled from the House, and has not
been seen in the State since he ran away
to escape the officers of the law.
Mr.. Daniel H. Thing. fusion candidate
for member Of Congress. seems to feel it
incumbent upon him to remind his thin
audiences of the accusations against
Wallace r. White for bribery; we sug-
gest that it would be only fair and honor
able to relate at the same time the story
of the exploits of THOMAS B. SWAN as
. swindler and defaulter, exhibiting
also specimens of Swans Excelsior Corn

might be the better convinced of the
swindle Swan had put in operation against
the ''tillers of the soil' that he might rob
them to ill his pockets with plumber.

TIE PRrxcrrAL WITNESS AGAINST WALLACE
r. WHITE.

Some of the fusion papers. notably
those that defend the attempted State
Steal of Garcelon and his infamous Coun-
ell. are very glib in their denunciation of
Wallace r. White, for alleged bribery OF
members Of the legislature.
The principal witness against Mr..
White, in the investigation Of the charg-
Is against him, was THOMAS b. SWAN,
fusion representative in the legislature
from the town of Minot, who declared with
his hand upon his heart and calling God
to witness the truth of his statement, that
White attempted to bride him(Swan),
giving him $1,000 for that purpose.
The next year after the before-men-
toned charges we're made against White.
THOMAS b. SWAN was again member
Of the legislature, and received the full
fusion vote Of the House as the candidate
OF that party for Speaker. Swans charges
against White had served to elevate him
in the opinion of the brethren, and as he
had always claimed to be the poor mans
friend" the enemy Of "bloated bond-hold-
ers." "monopolists," ''money kings"
and the Supreme Court of the State. there
seemed to be peculiar fitness as his fus-
ion friends thought in making him a
lieutenant to Governor Plaisted by nomi-
mating him for Speaker. Certainly such
shining light in the fusion party as
THOMAS B. SWAN deserved to be
placed at the right hand of Governor
Plaisted.
In short time, however, after the legis-
lative session began, THOMAS B. SWAN
was missing from his seat in the legisla-
ture. Soon the startling report shook the
fusion side of the House as though charge
of dynamite had exploded beneath them,
that SWAN had skipped out of the State
between two days. closely followed by
government detectives. The report was
at first denounced as republican lie,"
but facts are stubborn things. and they
came so fast and thick in confederation of
the original report that it was useless for
the fusionists to deny them.
To make long story short, THOMAS
b. SWAN was a swindler and defaulter !;
a swindler of farmers and factory girls.
and defaulter to the town of Minot,
of which he was treasurer. His swindling
was done through the mails by circulars
purporting to be sent out by the Eastern
Manufacturing Company" the Mechanic
Falls Jewelry Company" and his work as
n defaulter was by stealing the towns
money and using it to cary on his business
OF defrauding farmers and factory girls.
and supplying himself probably with
good clothes in which to appear as a fus-
ion member In his seat at Augusta. where
he had rendered himself conspicuous the
year before as the poor mans friend"
and the upright and patriotic member
who exposed. as he asserted, vain at
tempt by Wallace X. White to bride him.
The following is copy of one of Swans
Circulars.
