THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois stIrs Up the
Opposition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. TN the House to-
day, the consideration of the retaliation bill
was resumed, Mr.. Nutting said that the
Canadian authorities had Disseminated
against American commerce passing through
the Weelland and other Canadian canals,
and the effect of this unfair treatment was
that commerce on Lake Ontario was con-
fined almost entirely to Canadian and Eng
ish vessles.
The President had power to stop this dis
elimination inasmuch as Great Britain had
violated the obligations of article 81. In
addition to this, Congress had, year and
half ago, given him express authority to re-
taliate The President had made no at
tempt to stop this infraction of the rights of
the American people. If the Mills bill
should become law, England would have
accomplished by her diplomacy and influence
in this country, what she has been unable to
accomplish by the sword.
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, explained that
the President had not exercised the power
conferred upon him by the act of 1887 be-
cause, prior to that date and at the very time
OF the passage of the act, the United States
had been endeayoring to enter into negotia-
tions with Great Britain to settle the Ques-
tion OF what are the rights of American
citizens.
Mr.. Cannon, Of Illinois, said the American
fishermen wanted the privilege of entering
Canadian ports, and shipping their fish
through Canada to American markets. That
was what they had if article 20 Of the treaty
Of 1871 was still in JORGE, as he coItended it
was. II there was a man in the Presidential
chair who would issue a proclamation to-
morrow stopping the shipment of Canadian
fish to the United States, in As hours
xuh kn 11x~oA
Mr.. Cannon read an order signed by the
President on the 18th of March, 1887, designa-
ting San Francisco as port of entry for
goods in bond, to show that at that time
lafter the passage Of the retaliation bilD the
President did not think the 29th article abro-
gated. Now the President said it had been
dead since 1885 and turned a double somer-
sault and with an anathema against the Can
adian government cried out 'Gorel gore!
gore!" [Laughter.] But nobody would be
deceived. The gentlemen might as well un-
dertako to dip the Atlantic dry with spoon
as to fool the loyal masses of the country by
any such clap trap. IApplause on the Repub-
lican side.
1t was agreed that vote on the bill be
taken at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon and,
pending further debate, the House at o.
CLOCK took recess until o'clock.
The Chinese Exclusion Bill.
The Chinese exclusion bill was passed in
the Senate today. Afterwards Senator
Blair introduced resolution to reconsider.
This was debated and was the pending
question when the Senate adjourned.
Notes.
The Washington Post says that Secretary
OF the Navy Whitney intends to resign i'm
mediately after he submits his annual report.
The President has vetoed eight more pri-
vate pension bills.
Senator Vest stated in the Senate today
that he understood a second message on the
fisheries was about to be transmitted. No
message was received.

called to the advertisement of the "Citizen's
Excursion" over the Boston & Maine rail-
road Monday. the 10th inst. tits to be hoped

trustees for all creditors. The liabilities are
reported as one hundred and twenty-six
thousand and the assets are claimed to Be a

aggregate seventy thousand. The failure Is
due to the fact that all cash is in material
and none is on hand to meet maturing paper.
Mr.. Mason has had 500 men in the woods at
one time, but 1t thought all the help will be
PAID IN full. His statement OF August created
uneaslness among the creditors, and the as
slgnment was forced by the pushing Of some
small writs by the more timid ones. 1t will

The Vassalboro corn factory, which Is op-
Grated by the Portland Packing Company

The frost OF Wednesday night at winthrop
was followed Thursday night by the heaviest
frost ever known in that locality: The older
people say they never saw anything like 1t.
The landscape, at sunrise, looked as II COW

ly injured. Sweet corn for canning purposes
which was raised in abundance In Kennebec
must prove complete failure. IL Is a heavy
blow to many farmers who depend upon Il

Aroostook in Line.

CARIBOU, Sept. 7.-Hon. W. w. Thomas's
stumping tour in Aroostook county has been
continued ovation. Large assemblages of
the people have gathered to hear him at Car
ibou, Presque Isle, New Sweden, Washburn
and Blaine. In all places the halls have
been packed full to the last foot of standing
room, and hundreds have failed to gain ad-
mittance. In his speeches Mr.. Thomas has
confined himself to the tariff issue as it af-
fects the industries of Aroostook county,
with which he made himself intimately ac-
quaInted at the time he founded the success
ful colony of Swedes in our northern back
woods. Mr.. Thomas, at that time formed
an extensive acquaintance among our people
and he has everywhere been welcomed, by
Democrats, as well as Republicans as an old
friend. We had been rather backward in
this remote county, but you may be assured
that now the Aroostook valley is thoroughly
aroused throughout its entire length, and we
shall vote on Monday next to protect our
homes, our industries and our labor. 1t is
possible the Democrats may make gain
among the French settlements along the st.
John river. Large sums Of money have
been disbursed there during the past week
by Democratic agents, who have travelled
from house to house among these needy peo-
pie. But thanks to Mr.. Thomas and other
orators who have been among US. the inter-
eSts OF Aro0stook's people have been made
SO plain that ''he who runs may read" and
the accession to our ranks among the English
speaking population will not only offset all
possible Democratic gains among the French
but will leave a handsome margin, which
will surely increase Aroostook's majority of
two years ago.. You may look with certain
tp for good tidings from Aroostook on Mon
day next
