Especial to the Press.1


WASHINGTON, June "A despatch was
received today by Representative Boutelle
from Eastport, saying that the Canadian col
lectors of customs threaten to seize Ameri-
can boats if they buy herring on provincial
shores to be used for canning in the United
States. If this is done it will greatly injure
the business in Eastport and vicinity, as
nearly all the fish canned there come from
Canadian waters. Mr.. Boutelle, with Sena-
tor Hale, called upon Secretary Bayard with
the despatch, and he promised to take steps
Immediately to ascertain the facts and de-
fend our commercial rights. He repeated
the sentiments expressed in his letter to
Senator Frye, and said that the delay was
due to the fact that all diplomatic negotia-
tions on this subject had to be conducted
through the British home government.
Senator Hale also presented to Mr.. Bay
ard the resolution of the Portland City
Council, which he presented in the Senate
yesterday, and those of the Portland Fish
Exchange, asking for Prompt action by our
government in regard to the fishing troubles.
A vote will undoubtedly be reached on the
oleomargarine bill tomorrow, and in spite of
the dilatory tactics adopted by the opponents
of the bill, it will be passed by large ma
jority.

AssaiIing Lord Salisbury.


AUGUSTA, June 2.-The following letter
will appear in the Kennebec Journal tomor-
row morning:
To the Editor Of the Kennebec Journal:
In the Associated Press report of brief
speech which delivered in Portland, last
evening, on the Irish question, l am quoted
as applying the words ''impudent, .insolent,
brutal to Lord Salisbury. This is incorrect.
/ was referring to His Lordship's declaration
that ''the Irish might remain as they are now
situated or emigrate," and | said lnterroga.-
lively, SIS not this an impudent proposition
is it not insolent in its terms? does it indeed
stop short of being brutal in its cruelty"
1t is parliamentary to say that a statement
is not true, but altogether unparliamentary
to say that its author is guilty OF falsehood.
The first describes the thing, the second as
sails the person. My Characterization was
aimed at the proposition and not at Lord
Salisbury personally.
As spoke without notes and didnot see the
stenographer's report until it appeared In the
papers of this morning, | hope shall not be
held accountable for the errors that appear
ed Some of these were, in DR.. Johnson's S
quaint phrase, "risible absurdities," For
example, Kosciusko appeared as a leader IN
the Hungarian revolt of 1s4S in place OF KOS
Suth, to whom | referred.
Very respectfully,
JAMES G.. BLAINE.

The plan of National university, pro-
posed by Secretary Lamar in his report, is
obviously impraCticable; and the fact
that this recommendation did not meet
with the endorsement of the President
shows that Mr.. Cleveland had the good
sense to recognize its disadvantages Mr..
Lamar's idea is that the various scientific
bureaus Of the government, which have
been established chiefly for study and re
search, might be consolidated so as to
form the basis of a National university to
be located at Washington. Theoretically,
this plan may seem to have some merit,
but practically it could not succeed. The
various scientific bureaus which are sup
ported by the United States government
are not in any sense educational
institutions The element of instruc-
ton does not enter into the provisions
which have been made for their support.
They are intended simply to furnish the
means for skilled scientific research, for
the benefit of the people. If these bureaus
should be consolidated into national
university, the government would be
obliged to provide for the necessary in
struction. Endowments and increased
salaries would be necessary, and the treas
ury would he compelled to bear large
burden of expense in providing for the
management of the institution. Even
in case it should be successfully establish
ed, it Is doubtful if it would receive sulIi-
cient patronage TO warrant its main
tenance. The land is full of universities
Offering just as valuable opportunities for
| instruction and Studyas could be provided
by the government, and undoubtedly at
as small expense. \ national university
would be simply an elephant on the hands
of the government. 1t could not be self
supporting, and its advantages certainly
would not warrant the extra expense
which the government would incur in its
management. Mr.. Lamars scheme looks
well on paper, but it is very evident that
practically it would not work.

one of the 'ships" which almost every
impecunous American citizen vaguely eN-
poets will come in, for him, sometime, is Il
legacy. There are thousands of humble
.Jonses, Robnsons and Smiths all over the
country who have been blessed with rela-
tons somewhere in the dim past, from
whom they have heard nothing for gener-
ations. Who knows but some day lega
cy, of thousands and even millions, may
descend to them from these remote ances
tors 1t Is this romantic delusion which
has enabled spectators and unprincipled
men to prey upon the scauty resources of
many poor family. There are sharpers
who have made and are continually max
ng large incomes from the dupeS whom
they persuade that large sums of money
in England are awaiting them as heirs to
great fortunes, or to immense deposits IN
the Bank of England. While Minister
Lowell was in charge of the English mis-
sion he caused IL careful examination to be
made into various frauds of this nature.
The secretary of the American legation,
by whom this investigation was made. re-
ports that he finds that the great mass of
these claims have no foundation whatever

lively small sum, Il few thousand pounds
of unclaimed money III its possession, and
in the Court of Chancery there is less than
a million pounds for " hich at the present
time no owner is known As for the great
estates awaiting American heirs, AS rule,
they have no existence whatever. They
are like the alleged vast lawrence Town

of money has been spent by persons of one
or the other of those names in this coun-
try. In response to numerous inquiries,

The New York sun, which is always
complaining about something, found its
milk of human Kindness soured the other
morning, by the reflection that the Sena-
tors and Representatives of the United
States enjoy altogether too much leisure,
considering the salaries that are paid
them. The sun is greatly disturbed at
the easy way which our national legisla-
tors have of taking recesses and adjourn
ments. of leaving the Senate or House
when 50 minded, so that there is often II
bare quorum for the transaction of bust
ness, and of going at the public business
with so little of zeal and despatch. 1t is
true that the average Congressman is
char geable with the bad habits referred
to by the sun, but it should also be borne
in mind that human nature is human ma
ture, the world over, and that as friend
of ours puts it "You don't encounter II
formidable amount of perfection in this
world" There are few, if any, legislative
bodies which do not by virtue of long
prescription feel entitled to some personal
leisure during the period of their session.
1t would be absurd to attempt to tie our
statesmen down to their desks, like so
many school boys, during the hours de-
voted, each day, to the consideration of the
public business. Then again, many of
them are not open to the objection stated.
Our Vermont Senators, for instance, are
two of the most industrious, attentive and
faithful workers in any legislative
body. No public business fails by
reason of their neglect. The Vermont
representatives are commonly in their
seats, and their votes recorded on most
questions, aud they commonly throw their
votes and influence on the side of due
despatch of business. The men who are
fit to be in Congress, could, as general
thing, earn good deal more than their
salaries in the time they give to the pub
/ lie business
/ And while considering this question
why not look at it on the other side, and
give our congressman credit for what they
/ do over and above their bare obligations
! There is no requirement Which binds {
| Sena or or Representative to work at all
! if ne does not choose to. He may simply
attend HE scssio us often enough to be
come recognized as II member and draw
II salay without opening bis lips. le

coed the entire period which is allotted to
the Congressional session. 1t would de-
velop no end of controversy, bitter feel
ing, scandal and disgrace. Bad as would
be the policy of confirming all the Presi-
dental appointments as matter of form,
to challenge them all would be worse
policy still.
The third alternative, therefore, seems
to he the one which the Republican mem
bers of the Senate are likely to adopt. The
grossly unfit and unjust appointments are
pretty well known. They have been sfted
out and brought plainly before the people
by the newspapers. Some of them the
Senate can not in justice to itself or the
people, overlook. And when some of
them are overhauled, it is quite possible
that the fur will fly
