are found greatly superior to tents.
Shooting boxes twelve feet square were
found convenient both to use and trans

warm and clear, which the Republicans claim
is in their favor A very heavy vote is being
polled everywhere, and SO far everything is re-
ported to be orderly, although there is very
deep feeling on all sides. There are reports of
fusion being made in several portions of the
State on the Democratic and Greenback tickets
but these reports can be traced to no Ger tain

heard from, nearly 5000 votes were cast in this
city. The second ward which is incomplete,

There are IA scratched tickets to be counted.
The Democrats claimed this ward by 20 major

The constitutional amendments are the reg

must receive majority of all the votes cast for

largest vote ever polled, consequently the re-
turns will be delayed.

AMERICAS WHEAT FIELDS
How They Compare with Those of Europe
Interesting Report.

How They Compare with Those of Europe
Interesting Report.
WASHINGTON, Oct. o. Prof. Clifford Richard
son of the department of agriculture has just
completed two years. task in analyzing near
ly 1000 specimens Of wheat from various parts
of the country, comparing them with each
other and with European wheat. He says in
his report that the main failing of our wheats
is deficiency in albuminoids, which are re-
grain. While among our wheats the highest
percentage of albuminoids was found to b9
17.15, in wheat from Minnesota, Russian
grain analysed contained 24.56 per cent, "a
different specimens averaging 1948 per cent,
the lowest having 1868 per cent of albuminoids
In the East our wheat is the poorest, falling
below the general average in albuminoids and
ash, and in the size of the grain. A regular
graduation of improvement from East to West
is found until the Pacific coast is reached
where there is most remarkable ia ling off in
everything but the size of the grain. 1t is in
the country between the Mississippi aud the
mountains that the best grain is produced. 1t
has higher average ash and larger average
amount of oil and albuminoids than that of
any other part of the country, and highest ex-
tremes for ash, oil, albuminoids and weight of
100 grains. The middle West, represented by
Michigan, kentucky and Tennessee, holds
an intermediate position betweeen this
district and that on the Atlantic coast. The
latter shows plainly that its soils have become
more or less worn out, the middle West that it
is losing its fertility and the far West the fact
that ii contains those stores of the plant food,
and nitrogen especially which make rich
grain of wheat. Why nothing better has been
done in the way of prod uction than per-
centage of albuminoids high as II. 10 is diff.
cult to say, but the conditions undoubtedly dc
not equal those to be found in Russia Com
parisoR of spring and winter wheat shows
spring wheat to have slightly more albuminoids
than winter wheat.

FARMERS FESTIVALS.
Gorham and standish Fair.

Gorham and Standish Fair.
The annual autumnal meeting of the Farm
ers' Club, composed of the thrifty tillers of the
kindly soil of two of the best towns in Cumber-
land County, Gorham and Standish, was held
yesterday in joint exhibition in the grove and
adjacent grounds of the P. & o. r. r. Co., at
the foot of Sebago Lake. The weather, which
opened inauspiciously in the morning, very
considerably changed into beautiful Indian
summer day in the early forenoon, and the
people gathered in great numbers, not only
from the towns making the exhibition, but
from Windham, Westbrook, Raymond, Casco,
Baldwin, and in fact, from theswhole tier of
towns in the western part of solid old Cumber-
land.
The display of cattle was large and excellent,
some sixty pair of steers and working oxen be-
ing upon the grounds, near the railroad sta
tion, and there was degree OF comparison pre-
valing that was suggestive of the good old
fashioned cattle show in its palmiest days.
The town of Gorham seemed especially
strong in her outpouring of fine oxen. Fore
most for size, among them were the pair be-
longing to Charles johnson, which girted eight
feet, four inches, and weighed over 4,S00
pounds.
Isaac johnson of the same town had three
yoke, the finest among them being pair of
yoke took the first premium at the Cumber-
land county fair, the Maine State, the Eastern
Maine, and in fact they have captured the
"blue ribbon wherever exhibited. This same
Mr.. johnson also showed very fine pair of
Hereford cattle, six years old, girth feet
inches, weight $500, and matched, with white
faces and other points, as closely as twins. AL
so a past of four year olds that took the first
premium at the State Fair, and weigh 3,700
pounds.
Matthew johnson displayed seven pair of
very fine cattle, among them yoke OF five
| year olds, grth over seven feet; and two yoke
| Of three year ods, girth feet inches, and
Lewis johnson had three yoke present, of
| five, three and two years old respectively, all
| fine cattle, and W. I'll. johnson, two yokes, one
| of five and the other three years of age
| The same town was also represented by re-
markably fine pair of five year olds belonging
to e. r. Wentworth, girth feet, and most
| evenly matched.
A. e. Wescott of Standish had two pair of
five-year-old Durhams that were splendid
| specimens OF the bovine race They girthed
| about seven feet, and as a sample of working
| oxen were hard to beat
Sewall Libby of the same town had pair of
| blacks that attracted much attention for their
| fine form and close matching, and the town
showed noble yoke of five-year-olds, girting
seven feet, four inches
William Marean had fine pair of brindes,
| glrth six feet, ten inches, very closely
| matched.
Ephraim Libby's pair of tive-yesr-olds was
one oil the handsomest p ,irs upon the grounds.
| They were from Gorhan.
After dinner the center of attraction for the
| spectators was the testing of strength OF oxen
1t was hardly as thrilling for the majority as
the truly agricultural horse tr0t, but many OF
the sturdy farmers enjoyed it very much more.

CANADIAN MINES.
A Fsecen. Decision Which Practically
COnfiscaics Large Properties.

A KsecensA Decision Which Practically
COnfiscaics Large Properties.
OTTAWA, Ontario Oct. S.-The recent decis-
BILE alarm among those who have invested
Quebec. The judgment in this case sets aside
an act OF the Quebsc Legislature canceling the
title to certain Grown lands in the Province on
the ground that the necessary tetters' i'm
provements had not been made. Thousands
of acres of land in the Province have thus
been forfeited by the Government for non-fus-
hllment OF settlers duties under the act which
has been set aside. Large tracts of phosphate
land have thus been dealt with by the Quebec
Government, which, after confiscating them
Las resold them for mining purposes. The re-
cent decision is to the effect that the clause au-
thorizlDg the Commissioner of Grown Lunds
TO cancel titles for such lands, was only COM
mlnatory, and that, the Government could not
say under the act that more lapse of time in
making improvements or in making payments
entails fer the future. II this decision holds
good in the higher courts, to which it will be
appealed, the titles to the greater portions Of
the valuable phosphate mines in the Province
OF Quebec will be worthless, as in most cases
these lands have been forfeited under the act
in question and resold by the Government In
that Case the property would revert to the
original owners. The mines have been largely
developed by American capital, and, it is un-
derstood that fearing the recent decision will
be sustained in the higher courts, to insUre
title, several owners of large mines are endeav-
oring to purchase any claim the original own
er might have.

The Proposed Pacific Bank Compromise.
BosToN, Oct 9-The indications are that
the proposed compromise of the Pacific Bank
muddle will fall through. 1t is not believed
that any legal release can be given the stock
holders from the assessment claims now pend
ing in the courts. At least no one but the
Comptroller of the Currency can cause these
claims to be non-suited, and nobody pretends
to speak with bis authority. The officers of
the American Loan and Trust Company,
through whom the proposition is made, state
that that institution does not offer to guarantee
the stockholders against actions of law or any
other claims. Mr.. Price, the Receiver, natur-
ally has no opinion to express as to the advisa
bility of accepting the proposition.
The suits brought by Mr.. Price against the
stockholders to compel payment Of the assess
mont of 100 per cent. would in the ordinary
course of events be many months yet in reach
ing trial and decision. The stockholders pro-
pose to force an issue at once on the merits of
the case. To do this bill of equity will prob
ably be filed in the United States Circuit
Court seeking to restrain the Receiver from
prosecuting the suits. Such petition would
secure an immediate hearing aud would bring
the main question before the court for decision
