white men. They began adjustable,

the house. The fire was returned,
and combat was general. A bullet
struck Harp's wife, aged SIS, and killed
her instantly. No cause for the at
tack is known, save the feeling
against Harp. Sheriff Robertson has
been notified of this lawless act, and

upon by the people of the Maritime
provinces to enact that all freight carried
by the Canadian Pacific shall be shipped
from Canadian ports. If the Canadian Paci-
nc cannot haul through Maine it can haul
around. We have also another road, the
Grand Trunk, that every winter is shipping
large quantities Of Canadian produce from
Maine port. A Canadian rule that all Cana
dian roads should send their freights to
Canadian port would cut that business off.
And If we attempt to interfere in these
matters we must expect that Canada will
also. But Mr.. Cullom's committee went
over this subject very carefully last summer,
and before any individual measure is passed
the whole question of our relations with the
Canadian will probably be settled

A Foolish Move.

The Castine railroad people have succeed
ed In getting before the United States Sen.
ate their plan to force the Canadian Pacific
railroad to select the pert Of Castine as an
Atlantic terminus. The Castine people are
proceeding on the assumption that if they
can prohibit the carriage of goods origin
ating In the United States through Maine to
port la the Provinces, the Canadian Pacific
will be forced to use Maine port. And
this, they seem to think, would be Castine's
opportunity. The gentlemen who are back
OF the scheme to build a connection between
the Canadian Pacific and Castine may have
assurances Of a nature not known to the
public that the move they have begun will
be likely to have the desired result; but to
the ordinary observer their plan seems little
likely to bring about this or any other useful
result. In the first place the Canadian
Maine port, would hardly go to Castine, to
which railroad must yet be built, when 1t
can come into Portland over roads already
built. In the second place, any attempt to
compel the Canadian Pacific in Maine must
almost inevitably be failure. The reasons
for this seem conclusive. The Canadian
Pacific, literally subsidized by the Canadian
government, is expected to make its winter
port ON Canadian territory. That it will do
SO II left to itself does not seem probable.
Inc exigencies Of competition will forbid
the long and costly haul down to st. John or
Halifax when Portland or Boston are so
much nearer with better facilities, too, for
handling the traffic. Ii the laws of COM
merce count for anything American ports
VIII get naturally more traffic out of the
Canadian Pacific than the Castine people
are planning to wrest by the bill now before
congress. But II an effort is made to super
seoe natural forces by legislative inter-
ference the Canadian Pacific becomes FROM
that moment no longer commercial high
way, but political highway. The maritime
provinces have aided the construction Of the
road in the expectation that thew would
share in the traffic from the West. Thew
are already Jealous lest all that they exnect
may not come their way; let Congress mass
a law to tuin off In Maine part Of this that
they are expecting. even though it may be
traffic that has originated In the United
States. and Canada will very soon be.:called

The motion to shut reporters out of the
deliberations of the Pan-American Congress
breathes the spirit of the Spanish nations of
the continent. The press in those countries
is regarded as more or less of nuisance by
the authorities, and is severely disciplined
for things that would not be noticed in the
United States. 1t is to be hoped that the
delegates will not persist in their plan. No
harm can result from publishing the pro-
ceedngs, but on the contrary much good will
come from letting the public know just
what the Congress will do. In the interest
which the people Of the two continents take
In these proceedings lies the surest success

In the pleasure of the thought she soon

cided that the nest was abandoned Reach
ing far out, she held on with one hand,
while with the other she grasped the frail
support and tore the coveted prize from the
limb and let it fall to the ground. The two
dogs sat below. looking anxlously I'D, and
when they saw the nest fall they made a
Simultaneous rush for it, and before il
touched the ground they had II torn
asunder: but the contest was short, for
suddenly. with a fearful yelping and ears
laid back and tails tucked close between
their legs, the two dogs vanished among
the tall weeds. At the same time, sow

warm sunshine at the foot Of the tree be-
