As evidence of the unfavorable weather
for late harvesting which farmers have en-
countered this fall, we may mention that Ira
d. Sturgis of Vassalboro, had field OF
seven acres of barley which had been cut and
raked into windows just as the wet sweather
came on, and it is in the field yet where it
will remain the ground being complete
mud puddle. To 81 upon the land TO get the
grain would be to cut it all up (the field was
seeded down at sowing), and as for the bar
ley, it is, of course, not worth hauling from
the ground. Mr.. Sturgis also had a field OF
ten acres of oats which has not been cut yet,
and will not be, the crop being worthless
This 10 only one instance among thousands
with farmers in all parts of the State who
have met loss and injury to crops of all kindi
this fall, on account of unfavorable weather

DRAFTED RY MANToN MARBLE.
How the Presidents Tariff Message
Is Said to Have Been Written.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Worlds Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs what he al
leges is the inside history of President Cleve-
lands famous tariff reduction message sent
to Congress last December. Mention Marble
is named as the person who persuaded the
President to force tariff reform into politics
as distinctive issue. Henry Watterson as
sisted Mr. Marble in convincing the Presi-
dent that this course was the proper one to
pursue. The. original draft of the message
Is said to have been made by Mr.. Marble AS
transmitted to Congress there were some
changes from Mr.. Marbles composition, but
the main features were preserved. When
the President first submitted the message to
his Cabinet, Mr.. Whitney was absent from
the city; the other Cabinet officers indorsed
the Presidents determination to send the
document to Congress, Before the message
was sent, however, Mr.. Whitney returned to
Washington and was Immediately consulted
by President Cleveland upon the subject of
the proposed decided tariff reform stand to
be taken by the administration. Secretary
Whitney at once suggested that however
wise and commendable the propositions ad-
vanced might be in the abstract, it was not
the right time to cast them upon the country.
The Secretary also pointed out to the Presi-
dent one important instance in which the
alleged facts advanced were not correct In
this Mr.. Whitney was found to be right and
the message was modified accordingly A
special meeting of the Cabinet was then
called, at which the subject was again con-
sidered-all of the members being present
Mr.. Whitney was alone in his opposition to
the proposed measure, all of bis colleagues
urging the expediency of the message at that
time. The discussion was rather heated.
Messrs. Whitney and Villas exchanged bitter
words during the debate. 1t was finally de-
termined that the message should go to Con-
gress, although the President was undoubt-
edy disturbed by the position taken by Mr.
Whitney, whom he regarded as the shrewd-
est political adviser in the Cabinet.

MR.. LOWELL BANQUETTED.
One Ex-MInIster on the Action Of
Another Retired Diplomat.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 21.-James Russell Low
ell was banquetted by the Phllomathic So
ciety this evening. Mr.. Lowell leaves for
New York tomorrow. Mr.. Lowell said he
thought the recent tenson between England
and America would result in a little irrita-
tion on both sides, but nothing was more
foolish or ought more rigidly to be left to
children than the expression, you're anoth-
err; because there were occasions when
these words might be used with very disas-
trous effect. 1t was impossible to think OF
the enormous growth Of the influence OF the
English speaking races without the reflection
that the English had the noble distinction of
Deing the greatest cOlonizing people. They
had glrdled the globe with three prosperous
and vigorous communities. 1t seemed TO
him that no one who looked far could help
seeing that the time might not be distant
when good understanding between those
peoples with their enormous influence would
have great weight in deciding the destiny of
mankind He believed civilization and free
dom were better married than divided. The
duty of the English speaking races had ever
been to carry forward the great lessons of
liberty combined with order. This was the
great secret of civilization. They might
have different laws and forms of government
put, as long as they sympathized with an
idea that so far transcribed all geographical
boundaries and municipal limits as that, he
tnought they would agree with him that
nothing was more important to preserve the
friendliest relations between the two great
representatives OF this conquering and colon
izing race.

HURRYING THE ACT TO ITS PASSAGE.
Second Reading OF the Ashbourne
Bill Moved by General Madden.
ParneIIites Not Pleased with the
Fight Against the Measure.
James Russell Lowell Talks About
the sackville Episode.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-In the Commons this
afternoon, Mr.. Madden, solicitor general Of
ireland, moved the second reading of the
Irish land puehase bill.
Mr.. Labouehere moved that the bill be
rejected. He complained of the undue haste
In which the measure was being pressed for
ward, and said 1t was the obvious desire on
the part Of the government to prevent the
country from considering their proposals on
the questions of land purchase He denied
that Parliament obtained at the last election
any authority to legislate upon this question,
the immense Importance Of which required
the special sanction Of the country. The
bill was unjust to English taxpayers and in
furious to Ireland, as 1t would encourage a
gigantic system of absenteesism. Until
nome rule measure was carried, nothing
ought to be done towards land purchase.
Sir George Otto Trevelyan, Liberal,
warned the House that il 1t assented to the
bill, 1t would not be able to stop further
grants and would soonl be called upon land
compelled to advance more millions. The bill
gave no good security for such advances and
left the tenant in position to repudiate il
bad years rendered him unable to pay his
installments.
On motion of Mr.. Parnell the debate was
adjourned.

InDIANA's REPRESENTATIVE.
1t May Be Chairman Huston-The
Next Public Printer.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 2l.-The News this
evening says: st is the confident belief of
intimate friends of Chairman Huston, of the
Republican State committee, that he will be
the Indiana representative in the Cabinet
and they offer many reasons for their hope.
The most important, of course, is the service
he rendered the President-elect. 1t is claim
ed he did more than any other portion to
secure Gen. Harrison's nomination and no
man In Indiana did so much to carry the
State for the Republicans at the recent cleo
tion. Besides. it is asserted, Gen. Harrison
has indicated a warmer friendship for him
than for any other prominent Republican
OF the State, and he has. good reasons for
expecting an exalted position under the ad-
ministratiOn. The announcement that Capt.
VIM. NJ Meredith of Chicago is likely to be
the next public printer will be no surprise
to those who know him. He was captain of
a colored company in Gen. Harrison's war
days when they were army comrades. Since
then they were neghbors many years. and,
when Capt. Meredith became candidate for
the position of public printer at the time S.
p. Rounds was appointed, Gen. Harrison,
then member of the Senate, strongly sup
ported him. Capt. Meredith is now in the
city on visit and seeks the position simply
as man who has had practical experience
that qualities him to properly discharge the
duties. He has had charge of large print
ing establishments for % years or more and
is popular among the union printers, and his
strongest support will come from them"

FISH AND GAME.
Proposed Change In the Close Time
on Deer.
Especial to the Press. i

BANGOR, Nov. 21.-Fish and Game Com
missioner Stilwell says that not for years
have deer been so abundant in the State as
this season and sportsmen have been nnus-
ually successful. A movement is being
made to have the close time on deer end
September 1st instead of October 1st as now,
thus giving an extra month for shooting ear
ly In the fall. The commissioners will not
oppose this change and the matter will be
brought before the legislature for consulta-
tion.
The taking of land locked salmon eggs at
Sebago Lake this fall has been attended with
much success. some 100000 having been se-
cured. The parent salmon were either very
large or very small. One weighed 30 pounds
and many ran above 20 EACH Besides the
sea salmon eggs purchased of the United
States at Orland, there will be large num-
ber OF eggs left over which the State will
receive as gift. United States Commits
sioner Mcdonald has been experimenting at
Orland in keeping Young salmon until about
a year old. AS these fish could not be moved
about 100, 600 were liberated into the Penob-
scot river and may be depended upon to in
crease the number of salmon in the river
perceptlbly Not only this; Mcdonald pro-
poses to enlarge the works at Orland Tor
raising little salmon and it is expected that
three or four hundred thousand will be
turned into the river next year. The State
commissioners contemplate placing portion
OF their stock of salmon fry in the Kennebec
river which they are In hopes to make into a
salmon river some day. But they require a
larger appropriation than they now have to
do it,

THE BALL PLAYERS.
No Error Column to Appear in the
Score Card.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Fifth Avenue
Hotel was crowded with base ball men early
this morning. The committee on rules fin
ished their business last night very late. The
only additional cha nges they made in the
scoring rules was to eliminate the error col
umn from the score and put the total errors
of each club in the summary. The official
scorers, however, will keep the individual
record of each players errors for the official
averages. Sacrifice hitting was given a
place in the fourth column, and was defined
as follows: player will be credited with
sacrifice every time he advances a player a
base. 1t was the general opinion that, by
doing away with the error column, the play
ers would not be tempted to work so much
for record, and would be more willing to
go for anything. 1t was done to encourage
team work, and the giving credit for sacri-
fee hitting was for the same purpose.
The convention formally convened this
morning at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The
work Of the joint committees which met yes
terday was approved without opposition, ex-
cept the question of the high or low ball,
which the Western men have not taken
kindly to. 1t is now conceded with certain
ty that Cleveland will succeed the Detroit
club in the League. Manager Schmelz is
very. reticent in giving any expression of
opinion about the prospects of the Cincinna-
Il club The topic which has given the New
York men great deal of concern is Short
Stop Wards release. Manager John b. Day
says Ward will be given to the highest bid
ding club. Manager Hewitt of the Washing
ton club is very anxious to secure Wards
services for 1889, but thinks he cannot com
pete with Boston in the efforts of that club
to secure Ward. The directors today award
ed the championship pennant to the Giants,
and also verified the percentages of the va
rious clubs for the past season. The base
ball men individually are more than enthu-
siastc over the changes made in general and
the season of 1889 will be inaugnrated with
many improvements.
The League elected the following officers:
Presdent-N. E. Young.
Bard of Taustees--J. 4. Brush, W. A. Nimick,
j. b. Day and W. +. Hewitt.
Board of Albitration-N. 4. Young, j. b. Day
and Johu o. Rogers.

and j. L. Brush.

has been finished for week or more, and
that the track Is pretty well laid to Ship
Pond. In about ten days, they think. all the
rails will be shipped to Ship Pond bridge.
Rspid progress is being made on the Ship
Pond bridge, although the weather during
the fall has been very unfavorable. 1t is ex-
pected that the last span Of the bridge
will be stretched about the 18th OF Decem-
Der. With respect to the gap between
Brownville junction and Mattawam keag,
they say that this must be pretty well closed
up, IL not altogether finished, as only three
miles OF track remained to be laid day or
two ago. Ballasting Is going on on this sec
tion. The temporary wooden bridge at the
outlet. twelve miles west Of Greenville, has
been replaced by substantial structure OF
steel, and the temporary bridge at Miseree
