He Makes a Ringing Speech on the Home
Rule Bill.

Rule Bill.
PORTLAND, Me. June lin speech at
a home rule meeting here tonight, James
G. Blaine said: "Suppose the state of Maine
should be linked with the state of New
York, relatively as large with the state of
Maine as England in'numbers with Ireland,
and your beautiful city here could not take
steps for its own improvement nor the
state of Maine organize an association of
any kind, or charter a company of any
kind, unless the overwhelming galaxy of
New York legislature gave their consent,
how long do you think the people of Maine
would stand it? [Applause.] That is the
simple question between England and Ire
land, except that there is the great fact in
addtion-which would not apply to New
York and Maine-that there are centuries
of wrong, which have built up monuments
Of hatred on the part of those who are sub

The Diplomatic Corps Cannot Under.
stand the Presidents Actions

ST.. PAUL, June 1.-Washington special
to the Pioneer Press: The members of the
diplomatic corps are wrestling with the
most Derplexing social problem they have
grappled with since their observations Of
American institutions commenced. They
regard the arrangements for the presidents S
marriage and the incidents connected with
his engagement as little short of phe-
nomenon. and are puzzled how to conduct
themselves in relation to the affair. They
cannot understand that it is Grover Cleve-
land who intends to be married, and not
the president of the United States, and the
readiness with which he can shift from his
official to his personal character and re-
verse, causes them as much bewllderment
and amusement as we are amazed over the
lord high chancelior's dual life in the
opera.

in Lewiston, yesterday morning, short time
before O'Clock. He had been sink
ing for several days, and for number of
weeks previous to his death had not been
out of his house. The news of his death oc-
casioned universal sorrow and regret. No
figure in Lewiston's business or social life
for years has been more prominent. He was
man of marked Individuality By business
sagacity and hard work he has amassed an
immense fortune, and has maintained the

POLITICS IN ST. LOUIS.
Free Fights InduIged In and One
Man Fatally Shot.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 7.-Politics has developed
an interesting phase in this city and imme-
diate vicinity, much bad blood being de-
veloped. The Glover and anti-Glover fight
in the Ninth district has perhaps furnished
the greatest amount of excitement. Satur-
day there was free fight at meeting of
the congressional committee, resulting in n
number of broken heads and blackened eyes,
while Ed. Butler, well known ward poll
tician, had a rib broken and sustained other
severe injuries. Yesterday there were sew
eral pitched battles at the Glover primaries
in the first, second and third wards, the fac
tion which won the fight invariably refusing
to permit the vanquished to vote This re-
suited IN two primaries being held in each
ward and in contesting delegations being
sent to the convention, which met today.
Hardly had the excitement over the prim-
aries subsided when a disturbance was
carried out by the shooting of Constable
Jas. +. Ryan by Billy Cooley, ward
rounder, from the effects Of which Ryan
died this afternoon. Across the river ia
East St. Louis affairs are in still worse shape.
The election for city clerk and police judge
today was marked by an unusual amount of
fighting. AT some polling places the voters
were arbitrarily hindered from voting,
while at others seven challengers were un-
tremendously thrown out. The most con-
spicuous example of this was in the fourth
ward, where Judge Lountz and his chal-
lenger, John Moore, were thrown into the
street.

LADIES' DAY,

LADIES DAY.
Today will be ladies' day at the Portland
grounds instead of Friday The Portlands
will play the Lynns, and fine game will un-
doubtedly be played. Madden and Reilly
will probably be the battery. The game as
usual will begin at o'clock, and it will be
called promptly at that time.
PoRTLANDs, 6: LYNNs, O.
Conway pitched another game yesterday in
which the opposing club failed to score MAX
ing three in succession since he joined the
Portlands. The Lynns ceuld do nothing
with him, and made only three scattering
hits off his delivery. Gruber pitched good
game for the Lynns, his weakness being that
of giving men their bases on balls. Three
out of the six runs were made by men who
got first base in this way. The POrtlands
were not able to bat him much, getting only
six with total of eight hits In the first
inning Wheelock was given his base on balls,
and went to third on wild pitch. Hatfield
reached first 1.-THE same way and stole second.
The "old reliable e"-Sheffler- then went to
the bat and brought them both in by hit to
centre field. The Portlands failed to score
again till the eighth. Galligan started that
Wheelock was for the third time given his
base on balls, and stole second. Shelter
again brought them both in by clean hit to
left field, reaching second on an attempt to
put out Wheel0ck at the home plate, and
stealing third. O'Rourke hit safe and Shoe
neck hit to Laroque. who fumbled the ball
and then threw it wild to first, both Shelter
and O'Rourke scoring before the ball was
returned to ithe diamond. This ended the
scoring. 1t looked like run for Lynn in
the 9th inning, Murphy hitting safe, stealing
second and going to third ON wild pitch,

ever, and Flanagan went out on a foul tip.

could be coached back, making
neat double play. In the second inning
Sheneck made bid for silk hat but the
ball dropped just inside of the fence and was
captured by Lovett, both the hit and the
catch being worthy of especial mention.
O'Rourke was presented with beautiful
bouquet during the progress of the game. he
also injured a finger, but after a moments
delay pluckily resumed play. Whitley in
jured finger in practicing, and Lovett mad
to be sent for, delaying the game nearly half
an hour. Following is the score:

(Testimony of Mr.. Jarrett, President of the
Amalgamated Labor Organizations Before
the Morrison Committee.)
He said that he desired to emphasize the
fact that high duties on imported good are
indispensable TO maintain liberal loages in
this country. Any man claiming to be the
friend Of labor 'cho pretends otber7cise occu-
pies q false position, and Is not tohat he
claims to be. 1t is toeu kno,cn that ,coqes In
the United States are from 3S to 100 per cent

The Average is shOtgp to be 20 per cent hioher
than in England. This is true todav. eren

1t needs no argument, said Mr.. Jarrett,
to make it clear that if we had no tariff du-
ties on the manufactured products of Eng
lands cheaper labor when imported into this
country, then we could not make sueh arti-
cles here in competition with those made in
England and imported into this country. un-
less the wages of our labor should be brought
down to the English standard This is SO
plain that any man can see it,

Yes, replied Mr.. Jarrett. but if is proposed
to place on the free list imported manufae-
tured lumber potato starch, iron ore. hay,
potatoes, oats and many other articles into
which labor enters. So far this is free trade
as to the laborers who makeor produce those
articles and subjects them to direct Canadian
competition.
