NOTES.
The people of Washington county are
again agitated by the railroad problem. The
charter of the Shore Line will expire In n
few months, and the rumor that both Colonel
Greene and the Maine Central are to applv
for its renewal causes the Machias Repnbii-
can to declare its lack of faith in either
Colonel Greene or the Maine Central. The
Republican thinks the county must take the
matter in hand and hold mass meeting and
form corporation to get charter for the
use only of such parties as will build the
road.

Some Strange Features of the Acct
dent at the Dupont Powder Works.

WILMINGTON, Del. October S.-The death
of an infant from injuries received by falling
timbers brings the powder mills fatalities up
to AZ. OF the injured all are reported as do
ing well, apprehensions Of fatal result being
entertained only in the case of Daniel Har-
kins. Harkins Is over seventy years old. He
was standing on the porch OF the press mill,
and was blown into the race by the force of
the earlier explosions just before the press
mill itself went up. The buildings destroyed
were two magazines, the packing house.
press mill. canister house, mixing house, dust
mill and grinding mill. The small storage
rooms, soda house and charcoal house were
destroyed. OF thirty or forty houses COM
prising the village of upper Banks" little
except the stone walls escaped. No one is
habitable; The inmates were busy all day
getting the furniture out of the way. A
member OF the firm said 1t was impossible as
yet to give the figures of the property loss.
Early this morning Gordon of guards was
posted and rigid orders issued to exclude
from the powder yards all but employees.
This extra precaution was imperatively re-
quired to avoid further danger, as considera-
BILE powder was lying about in kegs and can
listers and loose. One strange feature of the
disaster is that Of a mill which escaped de-
struction but had the powder contained
therein blown out over the adjacent ground
by the conclusion without igniting. Ano-
ther strange sight, vouched for by one Of the
wOrkmen, was the explosion of a keg of
powder by impact on the surface of the water
of the reservoir near by.

The French spoliation claims are
again before congress. They have
been the subject of forty-nine reports
of committees of the two houses
since they were first introduced in
1S03-all but two of them favorable,
and all without exception favorable
since 1922. They were made the
subject of diplomatic negotiations
with France during the administra-
tions OF Washington and Adams,
terminating in q treaty by which the
United States assumed the payment
of indemnities due from France to
citizens OF this country, in considera-
ton of release by France from GER
tain obligations undertaken by this
country under certain treaties of
1778. In January, 1885, congress
passed an act under which the court
of claims reviewed and Investigated
the whole subject, and made awards
which are now before congress for
payment. The whole amount in
volved is about S3,OO0,000. The re-
port to the present congress is by
Mr.. Mansur, OF Missouri, and is
strongly in favor of paying the claims.
Mr.. Mansur reviews the whole sub
ject carefully, and fully concurs in all
that has been said by those who havs
had the subject under consideration

President CARROTS Trlumphal Tour OF
the French Republic.

LONDON, April 23.-The triumphal
tour of France which President Car
noa is now making is one Of the most
powerful strokes Of political wisdom
that could possibly have been con-
ceived in the mind Of any politician
desirous Of perpetuating the French
republic, to which it may be said it
has given,a new lease OF life. Every
where the president, whose name
recalls historical events of the most
stirring character, has been received
with manifestations o. devotion to
the existing administration, which
must convince the minority of NAL
contents, adventurers and intrigners
of the hopelessness of their attempt
to overthrow popular government
and re.establish monarchy. The
itineracy Of Carnot's tour has been
admirably planned and faithfully
carried out, while everything has
opportunely added itself to the sue.
cesslon OF preconcelved events whlch
could tend toward the achievement
of the objects of the trip. His visit
to the house in which the great Napo
Icon was born, at Ajaccio, yesterday,
is described as an intensely theatrical
affair, wherein his tour We'd with bis
entertainers in magnifying the i'm
portance of the occasion, and it's
effects as shrewd political move may
be accurately estimated by any one
acquainted with the volatility OF the
French provincial character. Alto
gether the trip is the greatest triumph
of the Carnot regime, and it's returns
will be plainly apparent at the next
election.
