of 5000 900 haye been issued by the
Chicago, Parkersburg and Norfolk rail

THE CRUISE OF THE BOSTON.
An Imprisoned Consul Released and
a French Scheme Prevented.

New YORK, Jan. 23.-The Tribune this
morning says: The recent cruise of the
Boston seems to have been fraught with di-
plomatic incidents of Importance, concern
ing which the public have been so far igno-
rant. The Boston was first ordered to Liv-
ingston, Guatemala, to investigate the i'm
prisonment of the American Consul there.
This imprisonmens proved to have been the
result of drunken freak of the civil COVER
nor of the province in which Livingston is
situated. The Consul was released after
having been locked up for three hours. When
the Boston arrived and her guns frOwned
threateningly at the town, the governor
made most full and ample apology. This
matter having been satisfactorily settled the
Boston was ordered to Corn Island, off the
coast of Nicaragua. This island is the key
of the proposed Nicaragua Canal, FROM
military point of view. Information had
been received at the State Department that
the United States of Colombo had set up
some antiQuated claim to the island, and had
entered into secret compact with France to
take possession of it and cede the French
government coaling station there. This
would enable France to command the east
erD entrance to the Nicaragua Canal. When
found that the Nicaraguan government had
also heard of the intended seizure of the ISL
and and had sent garrison there with in
structions to the commanding officer to forci-
bly, resist any attempt to occupy the place by
foreign power. This relieved the United
States government from any further action
in the matter.

QUEBEC TO THE SEA.
A Grand Plan Which May Soon Be
Realized.
rspecIal to the Press. ]

AUGUSTA, Jan. 23.-An important fact
was brought out this afternoon when Hon.
E. F. Webb, Of Waterville, appeared before
the railroad committee in be-
half Of the Somerset road (which has now
reached from Oakland to Embden and ex-
poets to continue up the Kennebec valley to
take the Canadian Pacifc) in opposition to
the petition of the Waldo and Somerset road
whose people want to build from Burnham
to Canaan thence to Cornville, thence to
Embden sand up the valley over the route
which Is already claimed as Somerset rail-
road territory. Mr.. Webb said the granting
Of the charter would be great blow at the
vested rights Of the Somerset road. Hon. j.
Manchester Haynes and Hon. Henry ingalls,
supported Mr.. Webb's position. Somerset
road has charter now to reach
the Canadian Pacific and form part
OF system which is expected
to connect that great highway with the sea.
Not only this, but the Quebec Central rail-
road will soon appear before this legislature
and ask for charter to build from the point
where their line intersects the boundary OF
Maine down to the Canadian Pacific. There
Will be strong and wealthy company be-
hind this movement and it is understood
that they come with the intention of making

THE BEST AsE.
Judge Webb Orders the Prisoners
Discharge.

In the United States Circuit Court yester-
terday forenoon, Judge Webb rendered his
decision on the petition of William j. Best
to be discharged on habeas corpus.
Judge Webb reviewed the law bearing on
the question, very fully, citing the cases Of
Kane, reported in IA Howard, Kelly, report
ed in 26 Federal Reporter, and Ferrell, decid-
ed in the Southern District of New York,
and other authorities, and said that in ac-
cordance with the rules Of law established
by these cases, the respondent could not be
held, and ordered that the prisoner be dis
charged.
This has been one Of the most interesting
cases heard before the courts here for long
time, and many new points of law were
raised by counsel for Best.
Mr. Best was a resident Of Eastport for
some years, and the citizens and members Of
the Grand Army post there have taken great
interest in his behalf. Mr.. Cleaves has
made a very gallant fight in this case, and
is to be congratulated on his victory.

CHAMBERLAIN MAKES A SPEECH.
The Ex-Negotiatos Getting Over the
Defeat Of His Treaty.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.--Josesh Chamberlain ad-
dressed meeting at Birmingham tonight,
and met an enthusiastic reception. Mrs.
Chamberlain occupied a seat on the platform.
Mr.. Chambeflain said the fishery treaty was
rejected inthe Senate by strict party vote.
He was disposed at first to overestimate the
importance of that VOTE He was convinced
that the feeling Of cordial friendship between
the two peoples was so great and firm that
nothing would be permitted long to interfere
with it. lCheers.l During his absence on
his second fortunate visit to the United
States he followed closely events in Parlia-
mont. What struck him most was the re-
markable diminution in prominence of the
Irish question. 1t was evident the county
felt the importance Of other questions.
Doubtless the improved condition of Ireland
was largely due to the wise and firm admin
istration OF Mr.. Balfour. He believed the
Sladstonians were fnding out that home rule
by itself was not name to conjure witt, and
hencetorth the Gladstouian platform would
give prominence to other questions.
