ROLLED for prohibition i'll this State, Is
still too small to cut figure, except i'll
isolated districts. The bulk OF II has
come from Democrats not i'll sympathy
with the low license platform of their
partv. 1t Is vet too early to forecast
the vote of the Legislature, or high l.
cense, or the United States Senator.
The reduced vote of the Republican
,mrty on the State and Congressional
ticket. it is claimed, is quite as much
due to the bruils and discussions of
the party in the State Convention a.
to the vigorous fight made 10y the Dem
ocrats for the first time in the history
of the State. The Democrats are
greatly clated over the election OF
three Congressman, and are hardly yet
willing to cuncelc the defeat of Amcs.
Mr.. Mcpherson, Secretary OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
makes the following computation OF
the returns received relative to the
complexion Of the Fiftieth Congress.
They indicate the election of l54 Re
publicanS, l53 Democrats, 5 Labor, Il
doubtful and one vacancy. Total, 325.
Doubtful, one in Illinois, Lands; one
in Kentucky, Carlisle; one in Ohi"
Campbell and three in Missouri
Clardv, Glover and Mansur. The
Labor and independents are. one in
Florida, Pendlrlon, one in Indiana
Rush, and one in Iowa; one in Nir-
ginia, Napkins and one in Wisconsin,
Smith. III the Democrats get four OF
the doubtful districts, they will have
the same attitude toward the present
Administration as that OF the Repub-
Leans toward the Administration OF
President Hayes. Many dissatisfied
Democrats, he thinks, voted the Labor
ticket.
Speaker Carlisle comedies his defeat
for Congress in the Sixth Kentucky
district. His successful competitor is
George II. Thocbc, a native of Ken
lucky, though Of foreign parentage
He is an artist in wood carving and
has been engaged in u furniture manu-
featuring establishment i'll that city
He is described as an agitator
and leader among the workingmen.
There was so little general know
ledge of the extent of his popularity
that no one dreamed of his election
1t was sanl by the Covington Cone
monWedlth, a few days before the clec-
ton, that Thoebe had II strong follow
ing among the working class, largely
on their objection to the free trade
leaning of Carlisle, and it was intim-
ated something OF Il surprise was in
store. Other papers indicate that Car
Isle suffered seriously from the Demo
cratic disaffection growing out of his
course in relation to the Government
appointments in his district.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Measures That Will be Brought Before
the Senate and House.
WASHINGTON, Aug,

WASHINGTON. Aug. l.
The conferees upon the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill met in the room of the Sem
ATE committee on appropriations at 10 this
mornlug and remained together until this
evening when they adjourned to reassemble
at y tomorrow morning. The meeting of
to-day was Unexpectedly harmonious The
impression prevails tonight that the brief ses-
sion tomorrow morning will result either in
an agreement on all points of difference or
conclusion TO report back a disagreement
on few reserved points for further instruc-
lions with the probabilities in favor of an
entire agreement. The most troublesome of
the remaining points of difference is found
IN the provision tor coast surveys. The con-
cessions made by the respective sides today
are said to be about equal,
The conferee on the deficiency bill meet at
lu tomorrow morning with a prospect that
their work will be completed during the day.
Inc measure has great many amendments
which fact entails considerable labor upon
the conferees, but it involves no important
question of principle and it is therefore not
likely to create dead lock-
The conferees npon the river and harbor
and fortitication bills will also probably hold
meetings tomorrow, but the outlook for agree
meet upon either Is not promising What
ever result may be, however, it is believed a
quorum cannot be held together after the
sundry civil and deficiency bills are disposed
OF. The surplus resolution Northern Pa
ciiic forfeiture bill, bill to repeal the pre-
empuon and timber culture laws, interstate
commerce bill and naval establishment bill
are the most important measures of general
legislation now in conference and the i'm
preston prevails that all but the last named
i'll fail to become laws at this sessiop

THE FAMINE IN LABRADOR.
A Whole Settlement Destroyed by wild
Beasts.

OTTAWA, July 81.
Horrible tales of the famine in Labrador
are received. In one settlement of about
twenty-eight families, comprising about thirty
souls, the Inhabitants had been reduced so
weak by the forced short rauous To which
they had been compelled to submit in order
TO exc out life that there was hardly a man
who was strong enough to raise u spea in
self defence against the brutes. The result
was that the brutes, numbering about $50,
made clean sweep of the place, devouring
every man, woman and child excepting four
young men, who succeeded in clambering TO
some neighboring rock. Here they remained
forty-eight hours, watching the bears at their
horrible repast. After these latter had fin
ished and moved away, a pack of wolves.
which had been hanging around outside came
in and finished what the larger animals had
left.
by the time forty-eight hours had elapsed
two of young men had perished from cold,
while third died shortly afterwards. The
fourth, who was an Esquimaux named Johann
Andernon, being u liltle better clothed than
serted houses and terrible sepuchre which
had once been his home. lie found som other
articles of clothing aud few scraps of food.
which had been stored away. Armed with
these he started out Tor White Bay the neigh
boring settlement, twenty-three or twenty
four miles away, and which almost by mira
Gle he succeeded in reaching, He there re-
lated his horrible story, and was cared for as
well as the limited resources of the poor
people would admit.

CROP REPORT.
What the Farmers Review Will Say Con.
cerning the Crops.
CHICAGO, August |

CHICAGO, August l.
The crop report in this weeks issue OF the
Farmers Review shows that the prolonged
and serious drouth, which has materially
shortened the spring wheat crop and caused
serious menace to the corn crop, was partially
brok' II this week, copious rain having fallen
in Kansas and portions of Missouri The
injury which corn has sustained cannot yet
be determined from tho reports. Nearly
one-third of the counties of Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas report that corn, while showing
the effects of the drouth, has not been serI-
ously injured and will make a fine WELD if
rain should come in time The remaining
counties report more or less injury, the tenor
of the reports being very discouragng, de-
claring that many fields have already felt
the blight and predicting it will not exceed
one-half the ordinary yield. The outlook is
reported gloomy throughout the entire corn
belt for all late planted corn. In portions of
Wisconsin there has been no rain for six
weeks and all crops are a bad failure. In
Ohio, Indiana ard Michigan the outlook is
still favorable for an average yield of corn.

A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS.
An immense Land slide in Washington
County-A Curious Phenomenon-The
Springs and Stream. Discolored.
CHERRYFIELp, July 81.

CHERRIFIELD, July 81.
A curious natural phenomenon that puzzles
everybody of more or less pretensions to
scienthc knowledge, has occurred in the
town of Deblois in Washington county-iust
when, nobody knows. A large body of earth,
chiefly sand, by some action OF nature, was
removed from the eide of dry sandy hill,
called the Pineo field, leaving an open chan.
mel or hole extending into the hill about 200
feet, being 30 feet deep and perhaps 20 or 50
ieet wide, as near as it could be judged with
out measuring. Afer the sand in its course
left the base of the hill land here the channel
was contracted and quite narrow it extended
long distance into piece of woods, spread
ing over wide space, burying the ulderbrush
and leaving the trees standing intact.
The correspondent of the Industrial Jour
nal reports that this slide, if it could be so
called, was evidently caused by a flow of
water bursting from the bowels of the hill,
though at the time there had been no freshet,
and the hill and its surroundings were dry
and barren. Now, in time of drought, under
the sand which has been so recently and
mysteriously sluiced through this channel,
there issue several small streams of water,
some feet apart, apparently entirely different
from each other in character, and different
from the springs and streams on the adjoin-
ing lands. The water in two or three of them,
which looks clear and pure, has an unpleas-
ant taste, something like oil. In one little
stream the color of the water is red and colors
the sand red through which it runs, leaving
red sediment at the bottom. In others
there seems to be Shiny substance at the
bottom of brownish-red color. The surface
of the water as it runs in several of these
little streams is covered with a little scum
such as oil would make turned upon water.
This seems to be very marked, and in places
where there is but little current. this scum
presented all the colors of the rainbow, en-
tirely covers the surface and when touched
will wrinkle up like the scum on boiled milk
when disturbed. Hundreds of people are
visiting the scene.

The pscie,rui na- uarbor Cano,

Two young people went out canoeing
Thursday without an Indian. When of the
cliffs opposite the Sears Cottage the canoe
capsized and the scene changed from two very
happy young people To two struggling NOR
tails clinging to opposite ends of the frail
birch bark structure. Mr.. Wilmington PEN
dleton was fortunately passing in n small boat
and, with the assistance of Mr.. Colgate. who
was rowing near, and a boat which put out
from fishing craft lying at anchor close by,
the two voyagers were rescued from their
perilous aud uurVtnantic position. The
yonng lady WAS lifted into the beat With some
difficulty. Both were able TO walk 20 car
risge. As they walked up the wharf the
young lady was heard to remark TO her COM
panion with some asperity, "why didn't YOU
help mer" why, | can't swim, duncher
know" said he.

DEATH OF WM. J. COPELAND,
A Prominent New Hampshire Lawyer,
Formerly a Resident of Maine.
DOVER, N. H., August |.

DOVER, N. h., August L.
VIM. J. Copeland, one of the most promi
nent New Hampshire lawyers, dropped dead
at the dinner table at his home in Great
Falls, of heart disease. He was a son of
VIM. H. Copeland of Lebanon, Maine; was
born at Albion, Maine. Jan. lS4l was edu
Gated at South Berwick Academy and
went to Lebanon, also at the Limerick,
Maine, Academy. The money TO defray ex-
penses was earned by working on farm and
teaching school.
Atan early age he studied law with Hon.
Increase L. Kimball OF Sanford, Maine, and
was admitted to the bar in 1862, locating at
Presque Isle, Me. He removed to Great
Falls in 1868, remaining there till he opened
an office at Manchester in 1882. He had
very large practice throughout the State and
was counsel for the respondent IN the Buzzell
on the first trial May 25th, though Buzzell
was subsequently held and convicted of the
statutory crime of hiring and procuring the
murder.
In managing this case, especially at the
first trial, Mr.. Copeland displayed his most
remarkable powers to the best advantage,
such magnificent force of character, COM
mand of resources, and influence of men be-
ing shown. For three years past he has been
extensively engaged in orange grove planting
in Florida, having spent the past three win
ters there. and had the honor of having a lake
named;after him. He married Ellen Nj. Wade,
granddaughter of Col. Benjamin Foster Of
Machias, Me-, in 1862. Three daughters

THE GALATEA ARRIVES.
The English Yacht at Anchor in the
HsrbOr at Marblehead.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. |.
The English yacht Galatea came to anchor
in This harbor at I. l5 tonight. Bv the time
the big steel cutter arrived at Marblehead
light the harbor was alive with boats of all
descriptions, When she came to anchorage
she was closely surrounded by all sorts of
craft The Englishman was quickly boarded
and congratulations extended TO Lieut. Hem
and his wife. In reply to the query as to the
delay on the passage, Lieut.. Hem said at
vas so smooth you could have crossed in an
open boat and that explains our tedious Jour
ney. | did not believe the Atlantic could be
SO quiet" On the course down from Thach-
er's the Galatea fell in with number of
cruisers OF the Hull Yacht Club, who came
close by and saluted the Englishman. Soon
after the anchor had been dropped the dory
reception committee gave three cheers for
'the lady who crossed the water" and three
more for Lieut.. Henn
At dark the Marblehead people, in honor
of the arrival, fired canonade aud ilumnat-
ed their shops with pyrotechnics. Several
members of the Eastern Yacht Club and
prominent yachtsmen sent their cards and
congratulations to Lieut.. and Mrs Hem on
their safe arrival. During the whole evening
boats foated around the cutter, and score
of interested oarsmen scanned her outlines
with critical eyes, and considerable surprise
was expressed TO find her standing so high
out of the water, as she has been represented
as lying rather low than otherwise. They
came into harbor without pilot, the Lieut..
saying he didn't need one when he had a
chart. When the fog lifted he found he was
only two miles off Thatcher's Island, for
which ne had shaped his course. If the fog
had not lifted the Galetea would have run
on to Thatcher's Island. After she lef,
Southampton she sailed to Plymouth, where
she lay several days waiting tor wind. This
time was utilized IN making preparations for
the ocean voyage.
