OF the dreadful disease which this Is be-
lieved to be.
The physician, DIR. Foster, was this morn
ing in consultation with Lewiston physi.
Clans, and said that Mr.. Avery was SO vic.
lent that he thought that he would either
have to place him under the influence OF
chloroform or elso tie him to the bed tolpre
vent him from doing himself or others harm
Mr.. Avery was bitten about six months
ago by pup which he had in his lapsand

The dog was killed at once, and did not bite

access TO one OF the finest quarries Of split black
rock that there Is in the state, II Is situated on
the land OF Mrs. Charlotte Holt, inst beyond the
Foye hill. The stone is OF even grain and Of good
size.
II there is enough of it the stone ought to
be passed around outside of Fairfield Black

with scorn.
Says the Kennebec Journal "Henceforth
the appellattOn 'Togus' will be no more and
the handsome place where Uncle Sam takes

name has for some time been the only one
used about the Home, but outsiders have
more frequently called 1t Togus than any
thing else. Now, however, all Is changed
and the outside world will henceforth know
the place as the National Home" Every
body please take notice! Togus is dead.

platforms from 1856 to 1885, 1t endorses

the disability pension bill; demands honest
elections and favors the Australian!b ballot as

recognizes the right of labor to organ iZe !;
favors the control of railroads by legis la

rates and the establishment Of system of

of more stringent usury laws. A resolution
endorsing prohibition was tabled. The

THIS rs OFFICIAL.
The sehring Sea Correspondence as
interpreted for Canadians.

TORONTO, July 24.-The Empire, the chief
government organ, today says: "The diplo-
matte correspondence on the Behring sea
question published today will be read with
interest though it really contains very little
that is new, or that might not have been an
ticpated, at least in its main outline. That
Lord Salisbury staunchly maintained the
rights Of British subjects, including Cana
dians, is proved beyond question. Secretary
Blaine's course Is not surprising. His con-
tentions craftily avoid the main point, that
the seizures were contrary to international
law as being outside territorial waterS and
United States jurisdiction. All his legends
about Russian rights are acquired. His COM
plants OF injury done United States inter-
ests and his claim to insist on the preserva-
tion Of seals, even II as we'll founded as they
are inaccurate, would be quite beside tho
mark. for no amount of wrong doing or loss
would justify interference outside the juris-
diction. He might as well assume TO send
his police to Toronto to make arrests and
seizures because some citizen Of the United
States were robbed All this has been the
United States policy. The cessation OF these
high handed outrages Is not due 60 any
neighborly feeling Of fair play or any respect
for the law and rights OF others, but the rec
ognition Of the fact that the end OF British
patience and fOrbearance was reached"

BRoCKToN, Mass, July A.-Fire was dis

W. 81. Pease, a teamster. 1t spread to an
other wooden building owned by Pease and
occupied by Fl. T. Shattuck, carriage painter

fire to several adjoining buildings, but per-
sistent efforts saved them. Twelve horses
were consumed. The total loss is estimated
at $4,000, mostly to Pease, who
is partially insured. Cotton waste was
found burning near the building
and during the fire A. w. Hurd discovered
broken windows in Means's shoe fac
tory and on the inside wall fire in some
cotton waste. Eorcing an entrance, he ex-
tinguished it. The facts show conclusively
it was the work of fire bugs.

MANY CATTLE PERIsHED.
The Egypt's Living Freight Jumped
Overheard to Escape the Fire.

LONDON, July 24.-The following particu-
lars OF the destruction by fire Of the Ma
tional line steamer Egypt are received. The
Manhattan sighted the Egypt in full blaze In
latitude 4O' 2S n; longitude 3s'. but, being
laden with oil, dared not go near the burning
vessel. Captain Robinson Of the
Manhattan informed the rescued officers
that he had only enough provisions for forty
persons and discussion was had as to wheth-
er to make the Azores, 250 miles distant
Finally 1t was decided to proceed for Dover,
and every one was placed on short ratlons.
The GAO head Of cattle on the Egypt were ali
either burned to death or breaking loose
and plunglng overheard, were drowned. For
the time there was much confusion on the
Egypt, but no panic occurred. The National
Company chartered tug at Dover TO meet
the Manhattan and supply her with provis-
ION. The tug started at six this evening
with full supply Of provisions and other
necessaries Tor the rescued people. The Ma
uonal line does not insure its vessels but
premiums into a special fund.
The tug met the Manhattan off Dover and
returned with her, the crew Of the Egypt be-
ing landed In boats. They say that the fire
broke out at ten on the night Of the nth.
when the steamer was 100 miles from
Lands End. 1t was discovered by fireman
In the starboard coal bunker. The men were
ordered to the hose and pumps. They be-
haVed In an orderly manner throughout, but
despite their efforts the FIRE continued TO
spread and there seemed to be no chance OF
escape. At one o'clock when the men were
nearly exhausted and the fire had complete
possession Of the steamer, the German yes
sci Gustave Oscar of Hamburg, bore down
upon the Egypt. Six Of the Egypt's boats
were lowered and by three all the crew were
safely transferred to the Gustave Oscar,
whence they watched the burning Egypt un-
til noon. The men suffered terribly from
smoke, heat and overwork before help ar
rived and are now being cared for In the
Sailors Home. When the Manhattan ap-
preached the Egypt she saw the Gustaye
Oscar giving signals of distress. The seven
ty-six men taken from the Egypt were
crowded on her decks with hardly room TO
stand. The little vessel was almost sinking.
The Manhattan quickly transferred the suf
fere-s to her own decks. CAPTAIN Summers
