OUR SUMMER TRAVEL.
General Manager Tucker Reports a
Big Season.

General Manager Tucker of the Maine
Central speaking to the Rambler of the
Lewiston Journal, Tuesday, about the i'm
mense Bar Harbor business done by the
Maine Central, this year, said. eve have
carried at least 33s per cent more passengers
than last year. In the month of August,
alone, the Pullman car agent at Boston sold
600 more Bar HarbOr tickets than were sold
in the same month last year. If the travel
does not increase 80 per cent next year,
shall be disappointed.
1--WE propose to put new ferry boat at
Mt. Desert Ferry next year. We are going
to have one built especially for this purpose
"a good long-legged one that will make the
distance in % minutes easily. 1t now takes
about 40 minutes to cross.
1--WE believe that Bar Harbor is going to be
one of the greatest watering places in the
world-that it Will eclipse Newport and Sar-
atoga- and we are making preparations ac-
cordingly. Everybody and everything at
Bar Harbor have prospered this year. The
Green Mountain railroad has paid handsome
ly. Our new hotel The Bluffs, which was
built in five days and was not opened till Au-
gust, got fine start.
sit has been grand season for Moosehead
Lake too. The travel increased very largely
over last year. The hotels have overflowed.
They have had to put their guests on cots and
ON the floors, There will have to be increas-
ed hotel accommodations there next year.
1T has been so at nearly all the Maine
summer resorts. Real estate all along the
coast is booming. James G.. Blaine said to
me not long ago, that in twenty years land
ON the Maine coast, now sold by the acre,
will be sold by the foot, and / thoroughly be-
lieye he was right.
'It has been intimated in some quarters
that the Maine Central will try to Obstruct
the starting of the proposed outside steamer
line from Bar HarbOr to Boston. That is
not so. We will be glad to have it succeed,
and | think it will. The last l heard, the
necessary funds within few thousand dol
lars had been subscribed. The greater the
facilities for reaching Har Harbor the great
er will be the amount of travel and we shall
get our share of it.
'sWe shall not make our fall change in the
time table until the middle of October.
Nothing has been decided as yet. There
has been some talk of keeping on the Fly
ing Yankee If we can see our way clear to
do it, we shall keep the train on.
1--WE expect a large increase of business
from the opening of the new st. John bridge.
The date of the opening has been postponed
from the 23d to the 30th, on account of some
trouble in building the track across the city.
We expect to haul good deal of Nova Sco-
tia coal across that bridge into Eastern
Maine."

Sentence of a Murderess COMMITTED
-BIaney's Case Again.

The Governor and Council will give anoth-
er hearing ON the 22d inst, to the petitioners
for Communication of Oscar Blaney's SEN
tence from hanging to Imprisonment for life.
The grounds upon which change is asked
are as stated in the PRESS some time ago,
that he was deficient in will power and that,
he having testified against Mrs. Barrows,
the State is bound to recognize its obligation
to him. Within few days Chief Justice
Peters has said that he can see no objection
to granting Communication of Blaney's SEN
tence. Before the next meeting of the Coun-
ell, Judge Virgin, who tried Blaney and Mrs
Barrows, will probably address, letter to the
Governor upon the subject. Just at present
the women of the State are also interesting
themselves in securing signatures to peti-
tion for the commutation of Mrs. Barrows
sentence, though she instigated the murder
of her husband and inspired Blaney to COM
nit the deed.
Gov Robie has commuted the sentence of
Sarah Whitten of Alfred, sentenced to State
prison for life for murder in the second de-
gree to four years imprisonment.

Emperor William Will Not Trench
Upon Spanish Rights.
Fears of the Spread of Cholera in
France Renewed.
The caroIlnes Affair.

MADRID, Sept. 9.-The minister of foreign
affairs had long interview yesterday with
the German envoy. 1t is rumored that the
government has received information from
the man of war Valasco, showing that the
Pelew Island had been occupied is not true.
Military men insist that their comrades al
zap acted under orders from Madrid and
Manila In order to avoid a conflict with the
Germans.
The campaign against the press is active.
Thirty-four papers of Madrid have been pro-
secuted. CaricatHre journals are being seiz-
ed by the wholesale. The press censorship
prevents any receipt of true accounts of the
expressions of popular wrath against Ger
many at Saragossa, Valencia, Barcelona,
Granada and twenty other places.
The German Ambassador has informed
Sener Cauovas Del Castillo that the retreat
OF the Spanish government officials at Yap
before the German gunboat would not affect
the question if Spain actually occupied the
island first Not single German had been
attacked by Spaniards in this city since the
beginning of the excitement over the Ger.
man occupation of Yap. During the hottest
part of the excitement on Saturday last a
crowd of Frenchmen grossly insulted several
Germans in cafe, compelling the walters
and number of Spaniards present to pro-
tect them from serious bodily harm. The
Germans eulogized the conduct of the Span
iards.
LONDON, Sept. "A despatch from Ma
drid to the Times says that Emperor William
has sent a despatch to King Alfonso stating
that he has no intention of trenching upon
Spanish rights, and will do nothing to preju-
dice his old friend Alfonso; that Germany
will withdraw from Yap, p,abandon all designs
on the Caroline Islands, and admit Spanish
sovereignty over those islands provided it be
made effective. It is rumored that Bismarck
wished to pursue his original plans, but was
0yerruled by the Emperor.
The Cholera.
ToULoN, Sept. 9.-There were four deaths
from cholers here last night. FugitiveS are
returning to the city in large numbers, and
it is feared this will lead to revival of the

THE GREAT RACE.
The Puritan and Cenesta Repairing
Damages.
Another Trial to be Had on Friday.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Genesta lay at
anchor near the Seawanhaka boat house, off
Tompkinsville this morning, and hundred
yards distant, near Stapleton Landing, was
the Puritan. j. Malcolm Forbes left this
city at 8 o'clock, to visit his yacht at Staple
ton, while his brother, William Forbes, re-
manned at the Brevoost House. He said this
morning that he did not see the accident
which resulted in the loss of the Genesta's
bowsprit and the tearing of the Puritan's
mainsail. He regretted the occurrence, but
did not care to venture any opinion on the
causes that led to it. He said the Puritan's
mainsail would be sewed and used in the
coming race Friday and new sail will not
be substituted At Pollon's shipyard at the
foot of Bridges street. Brooklyn, this morn
ing, gang Of ship carpenters were at work
upon the bowsprit for the Genesta. 1t will
be "a feet long, and will taper gradually from
thirteen inches in diameter at the hull to six
inches in diameter at the tip. The timber is
yellow pine, and has been well seasoned. 1t
will be finished at about 3 o'clock this after
noon, when the Genesta will be towed from
her anchorage and the bowsprit will be put
in place before nightfall.
The committee last evening formally an
nounced that the races will be sailed inithe
order as first arranged, on Friday, Monday
and Wednesday next, over the same courses
and under the same regulations.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
CANADIAN PACIFIC.

Now that the Canadian Pacific has secured
additional funds from the Dominion govern
ment, the scheme to bridge the st. Lawrence
at Montreal is again brought to public atten-
ton. Besides the scheme to reach the Prov
inces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,
ambitious plans to reach Boston and New
York are said to be on foot. If the roads of
the Central Vermont cannot be acquired on
terms to suit, it is in the programme to par
allel the Stantead Shefford and Chambly as
far as West Farnham (some 20 miles, where
connection is made with the South Eastern,
which is already under control of the Cana
dian Pacific and the Passumpsic companies,
and which affords excellent lines to Portland
and Boston. From Newport, VT, the Pas
sumpsie's Massawippi Valley extension can
give the line connection with the Interna-
tional. 1t is the wish of the Central Yer
mont people that the Canadian Pacific shall
make its short line to the Atlantic from OF
tawa, instead of from Montreal running
over the Canada Atlantic, which, is owned by
people connected with the Central Vermont,
and which crosses the st. Lawrence by ferry
at COteau, some 80 miles above Montreal. 1t
is said by those interested that this is at
least as good place for bridge as the La
chine rapids. From a point ON the road a
few miles southeast of this crossing they say
it is only about 10 miles across level c0un-
try to st. Johns, and that the construction of
road there would give the Canadian Pacific
almost straight line from Ottawa to st.
John, N. B. 1t cannot be learned. however,
that there is any intention of adopting this
route.
NOTES.
The New Hampshire Railroad Commissions
erS were in Dover, n. H, Tuesday, to inves-

from the track, The commissioners made
very strict inquiry, and will report their find
ing in a few days.

SMALL Pox.

R1cuFoRD, Vt, Sept. 9.-The small pox is
increasing in Montreal, and has reached
Sutton, Que, town eight miles from here,
and fears are entertained that it will reach
Richford. The sleeping cars between Boston
and Montreal are now detained here on the
trip from Boston and not allowed to enter
Canada. Much excitement prevails, and it is
feared that the epidemic will yet reach the
States. Physicians are busy vaccinating.
MONTREAL, Sept. 9.-The official report of
the health officer today states that 40 new
cases of small pOX were reported yesterday,
were reported. About 200 French-Canadian
