To Keep Commerce On American Rail
roads,

Senator Cullom, chairman Of the special
committee appoi1ted to investigate the
alleged diverting of commerce from the
railroads of the United States to those of
Canada, presented the report of the com
mittee today. The committee recommends
that as An entrance fee fifty cents. and as a
clearance fee fifty cents is collected every
time an American vessel visits a Canadian
port, or on the inland waters of the Great
Lakes and their tributaries, all Cana lian
vessels should be required to pay entrance
and Gle france fees of an equal amour, on
entering and clearing ports of the United
States, or on the Great Lakes or their trib-
utafies.
The committee recommend that so long
As discrimination in tolls of Is cents a ton
on the products Of the United States pass
ing through the WelIand canal is made in
favor Of Montresl and ports below tha,
city on the st. Lawrence river, discriminate
ing toll on the tonnage Of all Canadian YES.
sells shall be imposed upon all such vessels
every time they pass through 81. Marie
canal.
The committee recommend that either
such license system be established as will
be applicable to Canadian railroads doing
business in the United States or some other
plan not injurious to the general trade and
commerce Of the country be adopted which
shall secure to American railroads an equal
chance in competition with Canadian rail-
roads.

1ne state Convention that comes Oh -
Augusta June il,h is an important one for
Republicans of Maine To attend and they
doubtless will attend 1t in large numbers.
II will be good thing for members Of the
glorious old party that has done so much
for the country To get together In conven-

from the grasp of the hand and the touch
of the elbow as they start in on the cam
paign that is to give them an old time
victory. A rousing. big, enthusiastic State
convention is a campsign well begun, and
Se believe Maine Republicans will start
that way this year. We hear of no opposi-
ton to the nomination of Governor Bur
leigh for a second term the indications be-
ing that he will be reDominated by acclama-

like and economical administration certainly

port Of the wreck of T. J. Southard 1
Sons brig At the mouth Of the Rennebec
has reached here:
The brig wss coming up the river with .
breeze blowing directly over the etern, and
everything looked as If she would have no
trouble running up to the fats. The tide
WAS out at the time. and just as the brig
came inside Whale Back the wind suddenly
veered squarsly arouod to the north and
came in strong gust out over the river
striking the vessel right in the head Capt.
Haskell at once ordered the mainsail
dropped that the forward sails might blow
her head of so that che might fll and drive
her to one side Of the ledge, but before
this result could be reached the strong cur
rent hsd set her back and her stern drove
heavily on the rough rocks. Being coal
loaded she at once began to fll, and it soon
became evident tina. she could not be saved,
as she lies in place exposed to the full
force Of the swells from the open sea. The
brig is now going to pieces and is being
stripped by orders OF her owners. and her
sails and most of her rigging will be saved
