DISAPPOINTED FISHERMEN.
The Novelty Is Unable to Buy Coal
and Ice at PIctou.
Schooner Henry Willard Unable to
Ship Men In a Canadian Port.

A despatch, dated July 2, from Pictou,
Nova Scotia, to the Halifax Herald, gives
this account of the treatment received by an
American fisherman:
The Portland mackereling steamer Novel
ty put in here today for supply OF bunker
ccal, but was prohibited from getting 1t by
instructions from Ottawa. Coal is not
wood, and a fishing steamer can no more
claim or obtain commercial privileges than
fishing schooner. Capt. Joyce was very nat
urally disgusted at not being able to. obtain
a supply Of coal. Excellent quality of mack
erel are along the Prince Edward Island
coast in large quantities, and as the Novelty
can't carry much coal and mackerel at the
same time, and if she has to run home to
Portland every time she needs coal, she is
not likely to be successful in getting very
many mackerel inside the three mile limit
where they all are.
This is the account published in the Hall
fax Chronicle. 1t gives additional details:
The seining steamer Novelty, of Portland,
Capt. joyce called at Pictou last evening,
for coal,and ice. The collector of customs
served the customary notice to quit and eX-
tract from the treaty, forbidding the pur-
er will leave port this evening without coal
ing. Capt Joyce states that he left Port
land three days ago, and, under the impress
sion that the fisheries difficulties had been
arranged, LOOK SHOTb supply O1 puuk6l
coal While complaining of what he calls
the inhospitable conduct of the Canadians,
he processes indifference as to its affecting
him, and states that he can have supplies of
boal and ice sent him by sailing vessel, or in
future voyages can carry sufficient with him.
1t is believed, however, that the inconven-
ience is greater than he admits. The Novel
ty is new steamer of 1877 tens, very fast,and
carries a crew of 35 men. She will proceed
hence to Charlottetown, and arrange by wire
her subsequent movements, and either have
supplies forwarded or abandon the voyage
and return to Portland.
The Herald also has another despatch,
dated at Clarks Harbor, Cape Island, July
2. 1t tells how the Henry fWillard of this
city was denied the right to ship men;
The schooner Henry Willard, of Portland,
Capt. Pearce, arrived at Clark's Harbor this
morning, on her way to the Banks. She
wanted to ship four men, and understood
before leaving home she would be allowed
to make up her crew here. She reported at
the custom house, and was permitted to re-
main twenty-four hours, but forbidden to
take men. The captain is highly displeased,
and will likely pay as little attention to the
orders as others have done.

gramme:

Parting Address. H. w. Trafton
AT the trustees meeting it was announced
that the widow of Hon. VIM. E. Wording,
late of Plainyiew, Mimi, had conveyed in
trust to Colby University, $4,000, to be ex-
pended at Houlton, Me-, in erecting suita-
bic building for the academy and Baptist
fitting school there located. The building
thus erected to be called Wording Hall, in
honor of his love for Colby and the cause of
education.
A report was received recommending the
erection of a new building at Hebron, but no
definite action has yet been taken on any
important measure.
The report of DIR. Thomas Hill, d. d., of
Portland, Ex-President of Harvard on the
methods of instruction at Colby was read
and will undoubtedly be published. This
report speaks in high terms of the methods
pursued at Colby and Of the progress Of the
institution.
The officers of the Alumni Association
were elected as follows: President, A. L..
Lane; Necrologist. c. V. Hanson, Damaris-
Gotta; Treasurer and Secretary, Prof Hall

ize a Phi Beta Kappa society; also to ask for
a representation on the board of trustees.
Following is the neurology for the yeal
past:

Prof Charles E. Hamlin, class of AT.
Geo. A. Pierce, class of '49.
Rev. Henry A. Sawtele class OF 'b4.
w. p Young, class OF 3d.
The oration was by Mr. Hall. He dis
cussed the question, ''What is the American
People?" He ridiculed the theory of the
European writers who suppose that the or
ganization of society is a pyramid with its
apex in the sky resting upon a substratum OF
lodges which they call the laboring class
who receive the lowest wages and are the
foundation Of the State. He cited the statls
tics of the mass to show that all told the the
unframed laborers made but nine per cent o.
the working force. The so-called drudged
the untkilled laborers cannot be said even tt
hold the balance of power, far less to be thu
foundation of the social fabric. He CLOSED
by protesting against the ordinary demand
of commencement day that the schola
should go into the offices of administration
Here is the business of government nov
bee ause the people is sovereign. Let hlm d'
his work in that business where he can DO
best and he protested against the careless
ness with which people speak of Labor
and ''Work" as the same thing On the othe
hand the whole effort of modern lie is u
dispense with labor which wears out au'
destroys and substitute for it ''work' Whicl
is the triumph of spirit over matter
Our duty is TO change the laborer into
workman; to lift him in that development
that he may learn from his labors, whlle III
work shall follow him.

Yesterday was one of the hottest days that

morning delighted thousands, the City Hall
was packed to repletion despite the heat, ,and
hundreds were turned away who rushed to

hear some delightful speakers, the High
School reunion was great treat to the alum
nj, and the promenade concert that closed
the festivities delighted the young.

An Adverse Committee Report on

Tariff Bill.
[Snecial to the Press. ]

Especial to the Press.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The House com
mittee on ways and means today voted to re-
port the Randall tariff bill adversely. Mr..
Kelley of Pennsylvania, moved to strike out
all but the administrative part of the bill,
which is the same as the Mill bill, and this
motion was supported by the Republicans
present, (NIessrs. Reed and Hiscock were alb
sent) and by Mr.. Hewitt, but was voted down
on a motion to report adversely. The DEM
ocrats voted yes and the Republicans did not
vote. 1t will be placed on the calendar, and
will probably remain there, it being improb-
able that any attempt will be made to consid-
er it. The House ought to complete the ap
preparation bills this week, there being only
the general deficiency which will be passed
tomorrow, and Notifications which do not re-
quire over two or three days. The outlook
at present is that Congress will adjourn
somewhere between the 10th and the Goth.

There is but one old world romance more
touching than this; that these two gallant
young heroes who never met except as foes
should lie side by side like brothers through
the long night of time overlooking the scenes
of their last heroic endeavor.
What heart here is not richer with honest
sympathy; who does not feel deeper human
interest in the great Commodore Preble when
he has read the tender manly letter in which
he avows his love for the lady who after
wards bore his name. Love in all ages is
the same, the same sweet mystery when for
Sune favors, the same awful sorrow, when
brtune frowns. But Edward Preble, the
gllant sailor, the scourge of the Barbary
pirates, was our hero and we have personal
inereSt in the emotions of his heart as well
as n his glory and his fame.
Who here does not have an individual de-
light personal satisfaction when he STUN

Trelawnsy indignantly declared "he would

FROM the present outlook it is safe tc
say that there is going to be consjd era.
BILE wire pulling and cross lifting in the
republican party of this territory. AL
ready this is manifesting itself in the two
calls for a convention-one by the chair
man of the committee to meet in HALEY,
and the other by the secretary of the
same committee to meet in Caldwell.
Again, large portion Of the party,
with the Boise Statesman as their or
gan, favor the nomination of Col. Geo.
L. Shoup as delegate, while the other
wing push the claims OF Ex-Mashal
DuBoise. Several OF the Southern
Idaho papers have already run his epr
sign to thoir masthead, and are pre-
pared to do battle in his behalf. The
"Pan Handle" papers, having secured
the best Office in the territory for their
man, Baird, are disposed to let up lit
tie, and view the battle from afar.
They, however, still claim to be part
Of Idaho. How this will all end re-
mains to DO seen. A split in the repub-
lican party at this stage of the game,
would, probably, give the territory to
the democrats again.

POSTERS are out for meeting of the
anti-chinese third party, on the 21st OF
this month, at Boise City. Tho effort
to organize third party in country
where there is scarcely room for two, is
most i'll advised. The effort to rid this
coast of the Chinese, is a commendable
one so long as it keeps within the
bounds Of the law, but thore is no par
ticular necessity for third party to
force this matter upon the people, as
not one man in a thousand wishes them
to remain. BY and by this evil will
work out its own salvation. At present
the organization CT third party looks
Ike the effort of scheineing politicians to
place themselves in power. 1t can have
but little effect on either Of the two reg
ular parties, and can hardly be expect
ed to materialize.

The editor of one of the Washington
territory papers rofers feelingly to o
brother editor as ''base lyre." This
sickening statement is all wrong, and
jarS on the delicate sensibilities of the
public. There should be law against
throwing such epithets carelesly aronnd
or by and BY somebody will get hurt by
the explosion. To be sure we OCCASION
ally refer to some of our would -be COM
petitors as "that vile WRETCH" or "the
obnoxious cur, who runs etc. ;" but nevor
stoop 80 low ~ to call miserable
worm "base Tyre" The regular and
every day use of our own fond terms
has shown them to be comparatively
safe and harmless. But the case is al
tered when = man is called 4 ssbase
lyre," An "alto lyre," or even "base
trombone" wouldn't seem quite so bad,
but the reckless use Of all such little ep-
ithets is not to be commended.
