Walking Home.

A middle aged man who gave his name as
Mason went into the Office of the Saco House
Sunday morning, in an extremely tired con-
dition apparently. He told some one in the
office that he had walked from Portsmouth
since 10 o'clock Saturday night. He also
said that about two weeks ago he was upon
a vessel that capsized in foreign port and
was sent from that port by an American con
sui to Portsmouth, n. Il. At that place he
said he tried to get pass on the railroad to
Portland which he claimed is his home, but
upon being refused he started to walk the
distance He told long story about the
vessel upon which he shipped being wreck
ed, and If his words are true he has endured
great deal of suffering within few weeks.
Certain guests of the Saco House, together
with the proprietor. invited him to stay at
that house Sunday and start for Portland
upon the train Monday morning, which he

The Disaster More Serious than at
First Reported.

GALVESTON, Texas, Nov 16.-Collections for
the benefit of the sufferers by the fire were taken
in all the churches of the city yesterday. The
general feeling is that the disaster is more serious
in its results than the people at first realized.
Some 80 well known citizens addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the News last night

fallen upon Galveston and her people, and the
great destitntion resulting from this. unprece-

situation and checking the great current of chari-
table contributions prompted by the generous
hearts of GalyestOn's friends"
The knights of Pythas of the city held meet
ing yesterday with view of obtaining accurate
information as to the number of members of that
order who were losers by the fire. 1t was found
that large number of members were burned out,
many losing everything but their lives. After
canvassing the situation, the Knights determined
to issue call for aid up0nall Knights OF Pythlas
everywhere. The Odd Fellows of the city also
met yesterday, and concluded to issue an appeal
to their brothers throughout the country.

SMALL Pox.

HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 16.-There is considera-
BILE uneasiness in this city over the prevalence of
small pox in various parts of the maritime prov
inces. In New Brunswick cases have been crop
ping out every now and then, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the authorities to prevent the disease
spreading. AT Sydney, an important seaport OF
this province there have been several cases re-
ported within the past few weeks, and the board

there is no general small pox scare, but in Char
lottetown, the capital of that province, 1t is evil
dent it will be hard to stamp it out. Reports from
Charlottetown today state that there are 20 cases
at present, which is large number in comparison
to the population. Churches and schools there
are all closed, and public meetings have been for

issue orders at once to have all the vessels arriy-

ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC.
How Far the State Department Is In
terested In Their Neutrality.

New YORK, Nov. I6.-A Washington special to
the Evening Post says:
"The report that the Secretary of State is one
of the movers in diplomatic project to secure
the neutrality of the islands of the Pacific which
are now not occupied by the European powers is
officially .denied at the State Department. A
prominent official states that the department has
always recognized the fact that it would be to the
advantage of the United States to have the Pacific
Islands neutral, but that the State Department
has no authority to enter into any negotiations on
the subject to give official expression to its views
or to entertain any proposition which has such an
end in view 1t appears, however, to be fact
to inaugurate movement of this kind, and that
he has endeavOred to secure the active co-opera-
ton of this government, but it is also quite clear
that in the absence of some specific authority from
Congress the State Department will not venture
to commit itself in the matter except possibly to
approve recommendations designed to accomplish
the desired object, if this can be done without
violating international law or interfering in any
disputed questions with foreign powers.

rAE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Points to be Considerable Trouble
with the Slips.


WASHINGTON Nov. 15.-It is said that the
President has got well along with his message
and that some portions of it are now being copied.
Considerable space will be devoted to our com
mercal relations and the steamship controversy
which has arisen because of the action of Post
master General Villas IN refusing to distribute the
$4,000 subsidy that was authorized by the last
Congress. The Navy Department will receive a
large share of attention and Congress will be
urged to make large appropriations for the con-
struction of new vessels. The tariff and the sill
yer questions will be considered and some i'm
portant recommendations made
1t is expected that the message will be COM
peted and ready for the printer this week. 1t
will be set up at the government printing office,
and Public Printer Rounds will exercise the same
care and secrecy in its handling which he has done
for the past three years. 1t will be remembered
that one of the messages Of President Hayes was
published in various parts of the country in ad-
vance of its presentation to Congress, and it was
ascertained that it leaked out through the medium
of proof-slips at the government printing office.
The affair raised a tremendous row, and since
then the greatest precautions has been taken to
prevent repetition of that affair. Nothing of
the kind has occurred and it is not likely that any
portion of Mr.. Cleveland's message will see the
light before the proper time.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON & MAINE.

BOSION " MAlNEs
The Boston Advertiser says the directors of the
Boston & Maine have negotiated lease of the
Portland s. Rochester railroad, and the stock
holders of the Eastern are to vote upon its ratif
cation as well as upon that of the Worcester
Nashua Rochester lease, at a special meeting to
be held in Boston, December 0. PRACTICALLY
will involve no change, as the road is already con-
trolled by the Boston s. Maine and Eastern jointly,
and since the Eastern has become leased to the
Boston u Maine the latter has nothing to gain
except more perfect consolidation.
There is the best of reason, the Advertiser says,
for believing that the story telegraphed from Port
land last week. to the effect that Barring Brothers
had taken large interest in the bonds of the
Portland q OgdenSburg, and that the Boston &
Maine and Canadian Pacific were Joining hands
with them in the formation of line from ocean to
ocean, was without foundation The Boston &
Maine officials deny all knowledge of it. The city
of Portland owns controlling interest in the
Portland g. 0gdensburg, and after having been
once placed at disadvantage by selling the Port
land Rochester, it is not likely that the city will
bottle itself up by disposing of the only road
Canadian Pacific desires a line to Portland and
Boston, and has one by the Southeastern Pas
densburg. 1t can get no better one by buying or
building, and no railroad man expects il to do
either for some years to come, if ever. The Bos-
ton & Maine officials assert that they are not
reaching out, but simply getting their lines into
the best possible organization and condition for
taking care OF the traffic naturally tributary To
them.
