PoRTLAND's NEEDS.
How Ex-chlef Damwell Of Boston
Thinks confIagratIons Can Be Pre-
vented.

Several Of our merchants were talking
over the Boston and Lynn fires yesterday
and their ideas seemed to be that this city
should have hose-carriage house located
on Commercial street at, or near, the head
of Central wharf, and another near the foot
of High street, with a crew to live in the
houses composed of a few men, who, in case
Of fire, could run out the carriage. attach
the hose to the hydrant nearest the fire.
supposing it to be located on the wharyes,
or Commercial street, and have a stream on
long before steamer could reach the spot.
They also thought another steamer should
be brought to be located up In the seventh
ward, and still another about Llbby's
Corner. There should also be O hsse-eaf-
riage near the corner of Hanover and Port
land streets. This was the opinion of these
gentlemen.
A reporter talking with ex- C hief Damwell
Of Boston Fire Department, was told yes
terday by that gentleman "when people
learn to construct their buildings in COM
partments, and by law are controlled so that
they shall occupy only so many cubic feet on
any one floor, .then we will begin to have
safety and permanency as against any terri
BILE conaagrations, and not till then. Sup
pose, for instance, building having 1,0O0.-
600 or 100000 cubic feet. Divide that up
into one tenth parts, and put cross brick or
fire walls, so that in case of fire only one
tenth of the building would burn. Now,
supposing fire should strike Jordan &
Marsh's, or Whites, with their large, open
floor areas filled with with inflammable goods,
at any one part of the building; of course it
is in every part of it, suppose they think
it is necessary for their trade to have those
large areas, but as long as such areas exist
just so long we shall have extensive conda-
grations,"

MORE ABOUT THE NEW WORKERS.
mr.. Flood Joins the Column of the
Reed Men.

despatch to the New York Press.l
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The New
York Republican Congressional delegation
held caucus at the Arlington tonight.
Chairman James j. Belden was the host.
The gathering was Of vital Importance, in
asmuch as it had been announced that the
attitude to be assumed by the Empire State
on the speakership would then be clearly
defined. Should the delegation conclude to
vote solidly for Thomas b. Reed, the elec-
tion of that gentleman to succeed John G..
Carlisle would, his adherents asserted, be
chances of the Portland boy would be seri-
ously threatened. The result was, there
fore, anxiously awaited by all in any way
interested in the struggle for the gaVel.
James j. Belden presided. Except Con-
gressmen WILDER and Knapp all the New
York members were present. The session
continued four hours, and it was after mid
night when the caucus adjourned.
Alter full discussion ballot was taken,
which showed 16 votes out of II for Reed.
Congressman Flood declared for Mckinley.
have telegraphed that they will vote with
the delegation. Flood finally declared that
he would probably stay with his colleagues,
insuring the whole nineteen votes to the
Maine statesman. The Rev. DR.. Ramsdell
Of Washington was indorsed for chaplain,
instead of Rev. Thos. Armitage. DR.. Rams
dell was college friend of Senator Stan
ford. Consideration of other offices was de-
ferred until tomorrow.
Reeds adherents are overjoyed at the ac-
tion of the New Workers, and now predict
his nomination on the first ballot. The news
that Mckinley has captured six of the Penn
sylvania delegation was received simnltan
eously with the announcement that Wisc0n
sin would cast seven votes for Reed.

AT DINNER TOGETHER.
Four of the Speakership Racers En-
tertained by Ben 6utterworth.

despatch to New York Tribune.]
WASHINGTON, November 29.-People who
called at the quarters of the five candidates
for the Speakership today were greeted
more particularly as the hours of the after
noon wore on-by the fragrant odors of ad-
joining kitchens, suggestive of roast turkey,
stewed cranberries and mince pie, drenched
in the fermented juices of the grape. Those
pleasant reminders of the day had a most
Quieting effect upon everybody in the neigh
borhood of the headquarters, the candidates
not excepted. There was less than ever of
shop talk, even on the part of the most en-
thusiastc bottle-holders; and as for vexa-
tious Estimates" they seemed to have been
entirely tabooed. In the evening four Of the
candidates, Messrs. Mckinley, Henderson,
Burrows and Cannon, took dinner at the
house of Representative Butterworth. MT.
Reed had also been invited, but was unable
to attend, owing to a previous engagement.
Immediately after this became known, the
quidnuncs of the street put their heads to-
gether and whispered knowingly about a
scombine" of the Western forces. as If the
long heralded and much-thIeatened consoli-
dation against the man from Maine was
about to be conSummated and his fate sealed.
There can, of course, be no objection to
speculations of this kind. especially when
they lack every element of truth; because,
after all, they do not hurt any one, and fur
nish temporary amusement to few idlers.
in the light of frozen facts, however. they
seem Just a trifle ridiculous, and one cannot
help feeling certain amount of pity for the
poor gossips VINO waste their energies in
this aimless fashion, and who must wake in
the morning to find all their nice calcula-
tions upset. The dinner, 1t ought to be said.
was entirely informal, and the subject of
the speakershp contest was not even con-
sdered by any of the candidates present.
except when, after the cloth was removed,
they fell to bantering one another on their
chances and prospects.

SLEEPER NO THE TRACK.
What a Boston & Maine Engineer
Saw Thrown Into the Darkness.

BIDDEFoRD, November 29.-Another at
Boston & Maine road, near Wells, last night,
and Gilman's train, which goes through here
at o'clock from Portland to Dover. was the
intended object of the wrecker.
There were but two cars in the train last
night one combination baggage and smoker
and one passenger, and the scene of the at
tempted wreck was the nearly the same as
upon the former occasion. When the train
was between The EmS station and the
Burnt Milp' road crossing, just this side of
Wells station, Conductor Gilman was sitting
in the forward end OF the passenger car when
he heard sharp cracking sound and in a
moment more came the noise of the air
brakes, which brought the train to a stand
still. The engineer told Conductor Gilman
that he had struck something upon his side
of the track, which looked to be about two
thirds of SLEEPER, placed across the track.
He knew when he struck 1t and saw it
thrown by the engine to one side of the track
The train was run back and a search was
made, but nothing like a piece of timber
could be found anywhere
The engineer is confident that he saw the
timber across the track and knows that he
struck it, but what became of it is a question
not easily answered. Some lit le time
elapsed from the time the object was struck
until the train was run back to the spot and
the trainmen are forced to one theory, and
that is that an attempt was made to wreck
the train by some person or persons who
were concealed in the thick woods which
wall the track there, and that seeing the at
tempt fail, they carried the timber off with
them into the woods, which they had ample
time to do, as the train came to stop some
little distance above.

IN FAVOR OF EDISON.
InportantDecisiono Of Cana dian Min
lister of: Agriculture.

OTTAWA, Ont, November 29-The minis
ter of agriculture has rendered decision in
the petition of the Royal Electric Company
of Canada for the cancellation of the patent
for the Edison incandescent lamp, owned by
the Edison Electric Light Company, and
originally granted to Thomas A. Edison. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Richard Pope.
deputy commissioner of patents, rendered
his decision in this same petition on Feb 26
last, in which he annulled the Edison patent,
in virtue OF section 81 of the patent act. A
doubt having arisen as to the jurisdiction of
Mr.. Pope, it was decided that the case should
be commenced de novo.
A rehearing accordingly took place before
Mr.. Carling on July % last, Sir John Thomp-
son, minister Of justice, sitting with him.
The evidence taken at the previous hearing
before the deputy commissioner of patents
was accepted by both the petitioner. and re-
spondents. and some additional evidence was
taken. Counsel on both sides argued the
question at issue. Sir John Thompson made
an Elaborate report oh the whole case, and It
is his view which the minister of agriculture
accepts. The decision sustains the patent.

coyery OF the New World. and to the admir-
ers of him who was the first practical author
of the boldest theory of man, the sphericity
of the earth.
The scene opens in Deering's Woods. 1t
was the favorite haunt Of Longfellow in his
boyhood and Of which he has sung in the
poem "My Lost Youth" Hither he is sup
posed to have come at the close Of a summer
afternoon, and while indulging in a day
dream, is visited by the spirit Of Poetry,
who gives him her silver harp, indicating he
Is to be her favorite son. He now has a

pass before him; some sing, some speak,
Others appear in tableaux and professions.

TO AFRICAN HOMES.
A Prominent Llherlan's Rather Inn
practicable Idea for the Negro.

COLUMBIA, s. c., November 26.-Dr. e.
W. Blyden, ex-minister from the republic of
Liberia to the court of st. James, is in the
city and was interviewed last night. DIR.
Blyden is a man of much learning and is
one Of the best Arabic scholars in the world.
He is member of many of the most promi
nent literary and scientific societies in both
the old and new worlds He comes to this
country to study the methods of education
as used in the colleges for the cOlored youth.
His chief aim is to induce mechanical train
ing.
He does not believe in the amalgamation
of the races. and considers that the plan of
education as now adopted for the c0l0red
youth cannot bring ANYTHING but discord and
strife. He says that the negroes must be
sent to Africa. There, being removed from
the restraints of a dominant race. they could
develop their mental powers and otherwise
improve their condition He says that the
negroes want to go to Africa; that he (Dr.
Blyden) has received hundreds of letters on
the subject from all parts of the South,
South Carolina included, and that if ship
were fitted out there would be no end of ap-
plications for passage.
The removal of the negroes to Africa, DR..
Blyden thinks. would be a great, step to-
wards developing the comerce of the South-
ern States. He considers that slavery was
ordained by Providence, to accomplish GER
tain ends; that the negro race was destined
to go through the experiences of slavery in
order to appreciate second condition, the
necessity OF education and that moral and
physical culture which alone can render
them independent The third condition will
be the amelioration of the whole race, DR..
Blyden makes two problems of what is usu-
ally regarded as one, the negro problem.
One, he says is negro question; the other
is question of the man of the country. This
latter is the one that he thinks will give us
the most trouble, and he insists that it can
only be averted by giving the negro back to
the country from which the original stock
came
