A Visit to the Minerve.

Yesterday afternoon, upon the invitation
of the French consul, Dr.eLeProhon. a large
party of the members of the Board of Trace
and ladies visited the French man-ofwar
Minerve. The party were taken to the
frigate on the steamer Josephine Hoey and
We're courteously welcomed by the officers.
Admiral Visgnes was obliged to be absent
and the guests were received by Commander
Menard, to whom they were presented by
Mayor Chapman. The greater part of the
officers were unable to speak English but
the few who knew the language did what
they could to add to the enjoyment of the
party by their explanations of the appoint
ments of the well-kept frfgate. The guests
spent pleasant hour inspecting the ship.
They were shown the armory and the work
ing of the ugly looking Hotchkiss guns on
the gun deck explained. On this deck a
number of sailors were bending over tables
diligently studying from French primers and
learning to write. A little farther along, the
cooks were preparing the evening meal,
while above deck and below deck the re-
mainder of the crew of 400 men lounged or
worked. The party was present at the sun
set hour and witnessed the saluting of the
colors as they were hauled down, the ships
excellent band playing Immediately after
wards.
The Minerve is about twenty-five years
old but has been well taken care of and
looks as fresh as when she was launched.
She carries an armament of eighteen Hotch-
kiss guns. The admiraPs apartments on the
main deck are handsomely furnished, and
also the staterooms of the other officers.
The frigate sails for Portsmouth at o'clock
this morning. The Minerve, with the ex-
ception of the Talisman which was in the
harDor few days this summer, is the first
French man-of-war to visit Portland for 116
years.
The party left the ship at about $50
o'clock. Among the gentlemen who enjoyed
the hospitality of Dr. LeProhon and the Off
GERS of the Minerve were Mayor Chapman,
Messrs John E. Dewitt, Theodore c. Wood
bury, Gen. II. G. Thomas, T. G. Moody,

A Possible Case of Cholera.

The barkentine Shobeleff of Portland ar
rived at Gloucester yesterday from Trapani,
making the passage in 45 days. Captain
Tucker reports that two of the crew died on
the passage of slow fever. They are j. Ellis
and Robert Bulman, belonging in England.
Two others of the crew are sick on board.
1t is thought that cholera is on board the
vessel and that the captain and crew should
not be allowed to land until the case is well
investigated.

How Record Errors May Effect an
Officer.

Mr.. James H. Tolman was in the City
Clerks office yesterday, and wanted to see
the record of the late election from Ward 2.
According to Mr.. Tolman's statement, which
is SUPPORTED by the reading of the statute,
if two County Commissioners are elected,
the one having the highest number of votes
takes the long term of six, and the other the
short term of four years. If the Ward
record is accepted Mr.. Tolman gets the long
term, as County Commissioner, by a plurali-
ty of 80 votes; if it is thrown out, he takes
the shorter term, as he is 2O6 behind the oth-
er commissioner

In the Range Cattle Convention, in
session at Denver, DR.. Moore, of Wyo-
ming, offered Thursday the following
resolution
WHEREAS, The range cattle industry
shares the present long-continusd bust
ness depression, and whereas We be-
lieve this depression is largely attri-
buted to the contraction of the eur
rency consequent upon the demonetiza-
ton of silver by the German Empire,
and the hostile attitude of our Govern
ment toward bi-mstallism; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That in our judgment it
is time for the United States to act 50
Independently in protecting and foster
ing her interests as great producer of
the precious metals that she shall
bring other nations to her own policy
rather than silently submit to their
dictation.
That it is a cause Of congratulation
that in the crisis our Senators and
Representatives from Kansas, Califor-
MIA, Texas and Oregon are a unit in
favor of the continuance OF silver coin
age and . rigid compliance by the
Treasury Department of the Govern
ment with the laws relating to gold
and silver; that q copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the Representatives
and Senator's in Congress as an indica-
tion of our profound interest in this
great question, and of our hearty
commentator Of their advocacy OF
bimetnllisn.

but Is in arms against them. 1t il
surprising how general this Chinese
agitation has become. For a time it
was confined to a few professional
agitatOrs who would not work if they
had a chance, but the agitation il now
taken up by substantial business men
who see the evil and 60 about remedy
ing it in business like manner. Take
Truckee as an example. Here sixteen
hundred Cinnamon had found employ
ment in the factories and mills OF that
busting lumber center. They were
of no use at all to the community, but
a great drain upon its resources con-
stantly. The business men saw it and
determined to stop it. They called
meetings and appointed committees
and warned the Chinese to go and the
employers to discharge them. All
this was done quietly. The days for
action came and rigid boycott was
commenced against the two or three
firms who tried 10 brave it out, but so
uncomfortable did things become and
SD unsafe were the stubborn ones that
at last all gave IN and the victory Was
complete.
