American interests Sacrificed by
the Administration.

At the request of a committee of British
sugar refners, the government of the United
States through the Treasury Department
mas consented to remove part of the rebate
OF duty now allowed American sugar refin-
ers on exported sugar. The rebate up to last
Saturday was 2.S2 cent less per cent per
pound OF pure sugar. This has been reduc-
ed to 2.6o cents less per cent per pound, a
reduction Of p cents per hundred. A com
mlttee Of British sugar refners come to the
United States and Informed the ''English
party" now in power in Washington that the
United States government was paying %
cents per 100 pounds bounty on imported
sugar; that is, the rebate allowed exceeded
by this the amount paid by refners ON pure
sugar The American sugar refners, of
course, protested, and demonstrated by let
ter, and offered to open their books to the
government in order to prove that the Eng
lish committee deliberately misrepresented
the facts. They were not listened to. and
the word of our British rivals went for more
than the protfered sworn statements of
American citizens. As the rebate, as reduc-
ed, is less than the duty, American refiners
are handicapped, and the English sugar re-
liners will start up their fires again.

have enough to hold the balance of power
and thus control the selection of United
States Senator.

Lopeclai 10 tne ffeSS.
BATH, Nov. 2.-The regular monthly meet.
! ing of the Bath Board of Trade was held in
q City Council room last evening. A reso-
r lon was adopted that the proposed extern
sion of Water street to the premises of M. g.
Shaw q Son, and ultimately still further
south, VIII be great benefit to the general
business interests of the city.
President Fuller read a circular letter from
the American Shipping and Industrial
League, stating that the league in question
was organized for the purpose of uniting all
shipping men in plan for the relief of this
interest and to urge upon Congress the i'm
portance Of some legislation in its favor
Ihe league called attention to the bill now
before Congress for mileage bounty for
foreign going tonnage of thirty cents per ton
per thousand miles, and stated that the bill
would probably fail of passage unless
pressure should be exerted by this interest
upon Congress- In order to defray the ex-
penses Of the leagues delegates at Washing
son and to meet other necessary bills for
printing, etc., all owners or managers of deep
sea tonnage were invited to mem bership and
to the payment of trifiing assessment of
one-haif cent on every ton of shipping so
owned or controlled.
On motion of Captain Whitmore. P. M.
Whitmore, VIM. Rogers and John Mcdonald
were appointed committee OF three to take
the matter in hand and solicit the hearty CO.
operation of the ship owners of Bath to
assist the National League in this contribu-
tion
The question of Bath navy yard next
came up for discussion. This matter awoke
the liveliest interest. D. P. Percy, chairman
of the business committee, submitted the
following resolution:
Resolved That committee of such members
as the Board may direct be appointed to ascertain
the requirements of the national government re-
INTO the facilities of our city for filling those re-
qulrements and consider the adyisabtv of nre-
sesdhtlng petition to the Navy Department to CON
slder our advantages and examine into the same
before making definite decision In the matter
Ex-Mayor Ledyard, Hon. William Rogers.
President Fuller and Capt Whitmore each
spoke at length on this question, stating that
the city of Bath possessed unequalled facili-
ties Tor navy yard. 1t is so far from the
sea that it is free from attack, and has a har-
Dor OF great depth, together with plenty of
yard room on its banks.
Hon. William Rogers offered an amend
ment to the motion to invite the congressman
Of this State to meet the Board at an early
late. and to be its guests for few days.
Mr.. Ledyard moved that the committee
consist of ten members: P. NJ. Whitmore.
Geo. ID. Nichols, Thomas w. Hyde, Saml S.
Sewall, VIM. Rogers, John Mcdonald, F. B.
Iorrey, II. W. Swanton, John B. Houghton
and Galen G. Moses. 1t was unanimously |
adopted.

LoNDoS, Nov. 2.-Very encouraging In
formation Is coming from Ireland. There
has been an unexpected subsidenee Of dis
turbances and there are many evidences that
the people are devoting themselves more to
ordinary business pursuits of life than they
have been doing for many years. Many pur-
chases of land are being made under the
Ashbourne act and there Is an increase of a
peaceable and. .conciliatory disposition on the
part OF landlords towards tenants. Another
good sign Is that the country fairs held this
fall have been better attended than for a leng
time and the exhibits more numerous and Of
a better character tnan usual There Is an
abundance OF farm produce and fair prices
are received for large quantities OF cattle and
and sheep sent to English markets. Strange
