of Congress that good constitution ratified

expenses of the convention.
The chief difficulty is likely to arise upon
the question of suffrage. The Mormons for
merly held the balance of power, throwing
their vote to the party they thought
was most available for their uses.
Five years ago the passage of the
test oath cut them off. They are now
rapidly colonizing remote portions of Idaho,
and are becoming such dangerous element
that the Republicans and anti Mormon DEM
ocrats of the convention insist that they

LEWISTON, July 13.-The crack Lewiston
team took the fourth consecutive victory
from the Augusta team in this city
today. There was big crowd in attend
ance. The Augustus brought quite con-
tingency with them, and the Lewiston
sports were out in force to back their fav-
orites. The game was hotly contested from
start to finish, and the interest was intense
to the last inning. Both teams played good
ball. Lewiston won by superior stick work.
II. Lesotte, after making two magnificent
catches, was given an ovation as he came to
the bat in the seventh. He responded with
a rafting two-bagger. Umpire Bures work
was impartial and generally satisfactory.

Notes..

This afternoon the Bath ball club leaves
for st. John to open series Of seven games
in the Provinces. The Socials Of Halifax,
the Monctons and the Fredericktons are on
the list, while the Houltons will play on the
return. The makeup of the team is as fol-
lows; Dunning, Brown, Magh, Stevens,
White, Leydon, Parke, Thompson and Hub
bard. As thus made up it is the strongest
team Bath has had this season, and should
give good account of itself.

Harold sewaII's Prospects.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-It has been ex-
pected that as soon as Harold M. Sewall of
Maine settled his accounts as disbursing off
Ger of the American commission to the Ber-
hn-Samoan conference, he would be reap
pointed to the consul generalship in Samoa,
from which he was removed bv the last adj.
ministration. But now that the appoint
ment is delayed, it is said that it may not be
made until the Senate has passed upon the
Samoan treaty. One reason why the Presi-
oent wants Congress to assemble in extra
session is in order to get speedy action upon
the Samoan treaty, and to get such legisla-
ton as may be necessary to carry it out.

A Legislature Of Two Bodies.

BISMARCK, OAK, July i2.-At today's ses-

large number of proposed articles were pre-
sented, including articles providing for con-
stitutional prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors, for tolera-
tion of religious beliefs, etc. The one legs-
lative body idea is losing strength, and will
scarcely have hearing in the convention.
Altogether the convention is now well at
work, and promises to labor earnestly for
the good of all.

WASHINGTON, July 13.
report Is current tonight among diplomatic
and official people that Secretary Blaine has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect September
next. The reasons given are that the duties of
the State Department are so exacting and as Mr..
Blaine's health has not been of the very best
lately, by the advice of his physician he has con-
cluded to take much needed rest. 1t is also
stated that it is not unlikely that he may be sent
abroad.
John A. Kasson, one of the commissioners TO
Berlin to negotiate the Samoan treaty, is spoken
of as the successor to Mr.. Blaine. Just before
the President left for Deer Park, he said to a
friend that further action in regard to changes in
the diplomatic and consular services would be de-
ferred at least two months. This would seem to
explain the anticipated change

Messrs. Magoun, the Vanderbits, and, of
course, Chauncey Depew, Phil d. Armour,

Will Probably Trot at Cornish.

lOpcCfdl W tuc IIeSS.I
BIDDEFoRD, July 12.-The communica-
tion from Cornish correspondent, pub
lished in Saturdays PRESS was quite sur
prise to the members of the York County
Horse Breeders Association and it put
check on their plans for changing the date
and place of holding their August races.
Ever since the association decided to hold
the trots on the Cornish track there has been
talk to the effect that the Ossipee Valley
Fair Association was opposed to the scheme,
on the ground that it would interfere with
with the fair which takes place a week later.
The meeting of the association held Satur-
day evening was called for the sole purpose
OF changing the arrangements for the races,
but the communication in the PRESS deny
ing that Cornish people were opposed to
holding the races there, prevented such ac-
tion. No definite arrangements were made,
but the matter was deferred to another
meeting to be held Wednesday evening of
this week. The probability is that the Au-
gust trots will occur at Cornish, as previous
ly arranged.
