~nbrar. Zip BILL.
Its Poor Prospects .e House of
Representatives.
Especial to the Press.


BATH, June 23.-When Mr.. Dingley was
in Maine, few days ago, he had some con-
versation with gentleman from this city on
the fisheries and the prospects of the free
ship bill. In relation to the latter bill he
said:
The bill has been debated one day, replied
Mr.. Dingley, and the fact that its friends
did not press it to vote indicates that they
regard the discussion thus far as damaging
to the bill, and | should not be surprised II
they quietly let it go over till after the fall
elections and bring it up next winter III the
hope that they can pass it then. If it is al
lowed to go to vote this spring | am conf
dent we shall defeat it. l have made can
vass of the House and | find nearly every
vote against it. Of course if it goes over to
next winter some of the Democratic oppo-
nents of the bill may be brought to vote for
it with their party associates. The protests
of the Knights of Labor against the bill have
aided us greatly, as the laboring men plainly
see that the free admission of British-built
ships to an American registry or enrolment
would result in the destruction OF our ship
building industry,
Speaking of the fisheries dispute, MIR.
Dingley prophesied that Canada would back
down, just as she has done. In relation to
the importation of fresh fish, he said:
What hope is that we may be able eventu-
ally to get duty placed on imported fresh
fish and the duties on preserved fish doubled.
If this could be secured our fishermen could
snap their fingers at the Canadians. The
trouble now is that such a measure cannot
be carried through the present House, which
tends too strongly to free trade.

BASE BALL.
The New England League.
poRrLANps. 10: pRocKToNs. Q,

POhILANDS, lU, BROCkTONS, "
1t was raw and cold afternoon for base
ball yesterday but there was large attend
ance for all that. The game was interesting
for the heavy batting and from the fact that
the Portland slowly and surely erept up
from score of s to 8 against them at the end
to the second innings to final victory. Con-
nor, who will be remembered as the pitcher
who was so effective on the Boston Re
serves two years ago and who then would
smile as he handled the P0rtlands about
as he wished, was in the box for Broekton
and was badly pounded as the score will
show. Mckinley pitched for the Portlands
and with the exception of the second inning,
pitched q good game. In that inning the
Brocktons got nearly half their hits and six
runs. They only got one run after that and
that one was on missed third strike. The
Portlands steadily crept up on them after
the second inning, and at the end of the
eighth the score was tied. In the ninth
Wheeloek made a run by coming home from
third in a most daring manner and winning
the game. Shelter struck a foul fly for
which Davis had to run out by the players
bench. AS soon as it settled in Davis
hands, Wheelock started for home and by a
handsome slide succeeded in getting there.
He also made run in the third inning by
coming home when the pitcher turned his
back although he had the ball in his hand.
The umpiring was bad and several question
Ohln decisions were given

Parson WisWeII.

Among the loyalists who shook off the dust
of their feet and departed from among us at
the outburst of the Revolution, was Parson
Wiswell. He came here first as school
teacher in 1853, and in 1756 was called as pas
tor of the Congregational church in New
Casco. In 1854 he changed his religious
views, and became rector of an Episcopal
society just founded here on the Neck. AT
the breaking out of the Revolution he took
refuge on board the British fleet then in the
harbor, and went to England At the close
of the war he went to Nova Scotia, and was
settled over parish at place now called
Wilmot His son Peleg was judge of the
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, and died in
Annapolis in 1886, aged 70. Mr.. John T. Hull,
in seeking for the descendants of loyalists of
old Falmouth, has reached a distant connec-
tion of Parson WiswelIs family, VIM. H.
Wiswell, Esq, of Halifax, who writes an in
teresting letter, giving some account of the
family connections, and sends this inscrip-
ton, found ON monument at Middleton, in
the parish in which Rev. John Wiswell was
settled, which reads as follows:
Sacred to the Memory of the
REVEREND JOHN WIswELL, A. M,
who was born at Boston, U. s., Sd
April 1871, ordained by the
Bishop of London, 1894.
He left his native land in 1775, in consequence
of the Revolutionary struggle, and was
appointed Rector of the Parish
of Wilmot, in 1889, where
he continued until his
death, End Dec,
1912.
He was the first clergyman of any
denomination who settled in
this place.

THE STATE,


Mr.. Andrew c. Bean, late of Buenos
Ayres, S. A., who died very suddenly at.
Brownfeld, his native place, June 6, 1886, at
the age of 40 years, went to Buenos Ayres in
1857, where for several years he managed
the large American estancia "rataY." In
1869 he formed the house of Andrew G.. Bean
& Co. at Buenos Ayres in connection with
the Messrs. A. & S. Z. Spring of Portland,
which was dissolved in 1894 by the death of
Hon. S. Z. Spring. He had returned home
only two weeks before his sudden death, and
had made arrangements to continue the
South American business, and to reside in
Boston permanently. He was prominent
and successful merchant of unimpeachable
integrity and marked business ability, and
for many years did a large export and import
business with the United States, and-was
one of the most popular and influential Of the
foreign residents of Buenos Ayres. Mr.
Bean was modest and unassuming, of gen.
ial and benevolent disposition, and had
greatly endeared himself during his long res
idence in Buenos Ayres to all with whom he
was associated. He will long live in the
memory of his many friends there, and those
to whom his generous hospitalities were ever
freely extended. He had just received the
appointment of Argentine Consul at Boston

wholesale Poisoning.

PHILADELPHIA. june 23;;-.Exactly PA
people were poisoned at last Thursdays pic,
mic near Flemington, n j., six Of them will
probably die and twenty are in precarious
condition. 1t is now believed that ice cream
plentifully supplied, and freely eaten, caused
the trouble. Whether inside of the cream
whether arsenic was put in the cream pur-
posely still puzzles the doctor. One of the
physicians in charge of the patients said
this morning Ibelieve the poisoning was
Che work of some devilish mischief maker,
The symptoms manifested by the patients
are clearly of arsenical poison. Arsenic in
some form was put in the cream after the
picnic was under way. If arsenic was put in
# was large dose, for those who are sick
are very sick. We all have our hands full,
and we viii be lucky if we do not lose great
many patients,

tee on rules amending the rules of the House
upon which the debate occurred yester-
day.
Mr.. Reed of Maine, raised the question OF
the consideration and Mr.. Hiscock of New
York, expressed his desire to go on with the
sundry civil bill.
Mr. Randall remarked that he could take
care of that measure.
On standing vote the House refused, SO
to 81, to consider the report and the result
was received with applause from the Repub-
icans, but on yea and nay vote the House
determined, yeas 1873, nays 115, to consider
his report, Mr.. Reed changing his vote at the
last moment to enable him to move to recon-
sidered having made that motion he yielded
to Mr. Hiscock to move to adjourn, and this
motion he supplemented with the other that
when the House adjourned today it be to
meet ON Friday next.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, ironically sug-
gcsted that Friday was too early day and
moved to substitute Saturday
Then roll call followed, roll call with monot-
onous regularity while the members lounged
in their seats reading and writing or retired
to the cloak rooms to smoke and talk. Both
sides were determined in their course, but
little attention was paid to the proceedings,
which were unattended by any occurrence
to break their unilteresting character. A
resolution was adopted directing the SER
geant-at-arms to arrest absent members.
The House remained, as one member char
acterized it, in a state of "In0culous desuL-
ter" until 415 o'clock when further proceed
ings under the call were dispensed with and
the question recurred on Mr.. Burrows mo-
tion to adjourn until Saturday. This was
voted down, yeas 2, nays 1859. No quorum,
and another roll call consumed the time to
o'clock when the House adjourned.
