WAsHINGToN,lM May 26.-The friends ofsthe
free shipping bill did not dare to risk vote
today without further debate, consequently
1t was made continuing order and will be
taken up again on Tuesday or Wednesday Of
next week. The exhaustive argument of
Mr.. Dingley on Saturday has left them with
out a leg to stand on, and had vote been
taken today without further debate it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful if it could have been
passed. Mr.. Dunn and other friends of the
bill are manifestly uneasy over the prospect,
and its opponents are correspondingly hope
ful.
1t is now claimed that twenty-five or thirty
Democrats will vote with the Republicans
against the bill.
Want the Chinese Protected.
Senator Hale today presented the petition
of the East Maine Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, composed of S6
ministers and representing 1901 church mem
bers, asking for legislation by Congress pro-
viding measures of protection which shall
enable officers of the law to suppress efforts
to drive out the Chinese residents, and to Sc
cure to such residents life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

The State Muster.
AUGUSTA, May 26.-It is thought that Gen
eral Orders, No 4, ordering the militia into
camp at Bangor, will be revoked on account
of the large rate charged this year for trans
portation by the railroad. The appropria-
tion is not sufficient to meet the inceeased
demand The Governor has been advised to
do this and to order the companies into camp
for instruction and drill near their own To-
calities at much less expense.

The sisters" Trouble.

TORONTO, May 26.-The Globe says: "The
people of the United States, we hope, will
not approve of the seizure of the Nova Scotia
schooner Sisters made at Portland, Maine on
Monday. The master of the Sisters proved
by going to the custom house to make the
usual entry that he had no idea of acting il
legally. When the fishery clauses of the
Washington treaty ceased to be operative the
Canadian government did not drive the Uni
ted States fishing vessels out of its waters at
once or sci e those that persisted in taking
fish, but it consented to the arrangement
which allowed Americans to fish from the
first of July to the close of the season with
out compensation, and when, at the opening
of the present season, Canada found it ne.
cessary to enforce the treaty of 1918, ample
warning was given to all concerned If the
United States government saw fit, by way of
reprisals, to require Canadian fishing vessels
taking their catch of fresh fish to a United
States ports to be provided with manifests,
they should have given timely notice to those
who must be affected by strict enforcement

The cultivated fields, village and city OF the
present period were then practically dark
and forbidding forest From the long centu-
ries of the past there came nothing but an
unwritten history, and the unreliable tradi-
tions of an Indian race, and the silence of a
vast solitude was only disturbed by the
tread of the red man. and the voice OF the
wild beast. From this point civilization
commenced. One hundred and fifty years
ago, upon yonder summit, was begun and
created family home, the unit of our. form
of government The multiplication of Simi-
lar family homes made our town, and have
made the State and nation. One hundred
and fifty years ago this morning the Family
Bible was read for the first time in our town,
the first prayer was offered, the first song Of
thanksgiving ascended to the throne of God,
and the appearance of the Phinney
family and the blows of the woodman's
axe were, the forces that commenced
to roll back the mysteries of the past for a
new departure, to make room for the begin
ming of the real historic life which we now
see and know. We are proud of our anees-
tor, and the first families who settled ouI
town. The noble characteristics of the pio-
neer family permeated the locality, and there
was unity of loyal brotherhood and Chris
tlan fellowship among our early ancestors
that is worthy the emulation of their descend
ants. We come as Pilgrims and view with
| unmeasured delight the spot where the first
Christian family home was conSecrated. we
tread here and there upon ground made sac
red by historical memories. We recall he
roic deeds that inspire our very nature and
excite our pride that we are the descendants
of race of men, who by sacrifice laid the
foundation of the homes and institutions we
now enjoy. On yonder hill the rude log cabin
was built, the first little clearing was opened,
the fort and block house erected, within which
the entire population of the town was shell
tered for four long years. In the fort was
the garrison, the only defense of the family
home, and there the parish pastor and the
school teacher found employment and securi-
| ty. The early history of our town tells US
of many sad story of savage cruelty, and
within half a mile from here are the stones
| and earthern floors which were once wet witt
the blood of four dear children; but the dark
clouds that then lowered so near had theil
silver lining. The power of endurance, loyal
ty, true religion and every other manly and
womanly virtue of the Phinneys, McLellans
Moshers, Watsons, Hardings, Cresseys, Files
Irish, Hamblens and other Representative
pioneer families were sufficient for every sac
rifice and danger, and the solid material tt
establish the Institutions of justice, freedom
and safety which we now enjoy. In our oldel
cemeteries lie buried in unknown graves
many of the brave men of those early days
