WASHINGTON. Jan. Sit is stated here
tonight, on first rate authority, that the Re-
publican Senators will be unit In opposi-
tion to the confirmation of Secretary Lamar
for Supreme Court Judge If so, this would
defeat him.
The opening of the Thebe-C Carlisle con-
test, together with Gen. Sypher's appearance
against the Speaker, excites great attention.
The Speaker tonight fayors reopening the
case and investigating fully with sub-com-
mittee, or giving ninety days to take testi-

Bad for Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Thebe-Car-
Isle contested election case was before the
committee today. serious charges being made
against the friends of Carlisle Thebe's
attorney, Gen. Sypher, said he had an affi-
davit in support of his charges and claimed
1t was the manifest duty of the committee
to do one of three things: Forty days addi-
.ionai tine must be ai1oMed for ThGbe to
collect evidence or the committee must go to
the district and investigate or summon wit
nesses to testify.
The most striking affidayits are the new
ones which Gen. SyphG, discovering how he
had been treated by Wood, got for himself
in Kentucky. They tel remarkable. story:
There is one from Covilgton on the night Of
the election. The returns came In until
a. M. from Covington. Newport and the
suburbs--two whole counties. The vote
stood: Thebe, 4971 Carlisle, 2902. There
was a conference Of seven OF Carlisle s
friends and mild query, whats to be
done?" After consultation the telegraph
called tn confidential friends in the mountain
towns: "Hold back the returns" Men on
horseback carried the same message.
Speaker Carlisle saw man the next day
and admitted openly that be was defeated.
He said he was glad of It. AT another con-
sultation, g. Ii. Nelson Of the Kentucky bar
was called in and asked to help. He indig-
nantly refused. Gwyde. was sent to manip-
clumsy.
1t will be shown by afidavits that in stuff
ing he used ballots of the Congressional cleo
tion of 1884, different In size from those OF
1856, when Carlisle ran against Judge Ian
drawn. The work was so clumsy, In fact,
that some of the Landawn ballots were
actually inserted.
In one whole county, Gallatine, the editor
Of the Warsaw Independent makes oath that
not Carlisle ballot was printed. but 67 in
one whole precinct were all counted for him.

Senator Voorhees, said on Friday that the

Sherman was speaking, Wednesday, was but
little initiated by Republicans when he was
speaking, "But / would scarcely refer to this
lack of interest,"" continued the Senator, ''if
it were not for an incident that occurred. l

laughter from a group of Senators on the
Repu blican side attracted my attention, fol-
lowed by conversation in tones almost as
pronounced as my own. | raised my voice

Boston to Bar Harbor Direct.
Boston Transcript


The next two years will probably see the
various roadroad enterprises now contempla-
ted practically finished. 1t will then be pos
sible to go to Machias, Calais and Lubec
from Boston by rail, These three towns are
in Washington county, the garden county of
Maine as well as the most easterly. But the
deep indentations of the coast by number
less bays and rivers necessitate a wide
sweep inland, thus adding to the distance,
while steamboat communication can be had
from Boston Light to a point between the
island of Grand Menan and the Maine coast
in line as straight as rule can be laid )
thence by a single turn straight up the Bay
of Fundy to Lubec and Eastport. A line OF
fast steamers can be established that, leav
ing Boston at 5 p. M, will land passengers at
either Lubec or Eastport at nine the next
morning. There is now but one means OF
getting to Eastport and that is by lnterna-
tiona line steamers. These steamers leave
Boston three times week at 81 a. M, to go
to Portland, spend one to three hours there,
and then proceed to Eastport, landing pas
sengers anywhere between nine and twelve
o'clock the next day, making it trip OF
from "a to 2S hours. A schedule time of IL
hours from Boston to Lubec or Eastport is
feasible, and what trip it would be. Leayss

a day and night spent in StuffV cars. Our
Boston capitalists are queer set; they will
go thousandslof miles away from Boston and
build railroads, investing dollars by the
hundreds of millions, but will ignore the op-
direct from Boston to Bar Harbor, and per-
haps three or four ports beyond, would un-
doubtedly pay and be of great convenience

A WAR RkINC

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusIvely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
ceed viii, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. As soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ

give you immediate relief novS-dIy-cT

ADoNIs.

ADoNIs
1t is late day to speak of the merits of
''Adonis" whose praises have been sung in
two countries for two years past But it is
pleasant to be able to say that Messrs. Rice
and Dixey have given Portland people an op-
portunity to see the burlesque, ds far as peo-
pie, costumes and music are concerned, put
on the boards as perfectly as in the large
cities. The great audience present at Port
land Theatre last evening therefore suffered
no disappointment, and from first to last,
songs, dances and all the specialties had to
be repeated again and again, in response to
the storms of applause.
Mr.. Dixey's Adonis is charming creation.
A travesty of Pygmalion and Galatea, as it
were,-the female being the sculptor in this
case and the male the statue-Mr. Dixey's
Adonis is remarkably easy and graceful and,
as the Chevalier. very refined impersona-
tomas lrying-in his imitations.he was sim
ply perfect. AS the ballet girl he is intensely
funny in the best sense of the word and he
dances gracefully.
Miss Ida Bell was pleasing Talamea, the
Sculptress, and Miss Kavanagh handsome
Goddess Artea with strong musical voice.
Miss Amelia Summerville was very taking
as Rosetta the simple village maiden and Mr..
Gresham most amusing Marquis of the pol
ished villain stamp. Mr.. Howard was cap
ita take-off of the Couldock Luke Field
ing style of stage father and the little four
-Messrs. Watson, ellison and the Carroll
Brothers-immense in their gymnasium
feats. The ladies of the remaining support
were handsome and youthful, and the dances
of the combined company, principals. ballet,
and figurantes, with their beautiful dresses,
so harmoniously blending the various colors,
with the ever changing lime light, were
poetic dreams, interspersed by the musical
selections, which, as in all burlesques that
Mr.. Rice has anything to do with, are always
admirable. The orchestra was large and
good, the only fault to be found with it was
that it was rather loud for the size of the
house.
Adonis will be repeated tonight and Sat-
urday night and the house will be crowded
on both occasions we have no doubt.
