PORTLAND MARKET.

The local markets present much the
same general features that prevailed last
in the volume and charac er of business
in progress. Staple groceries have been
in better request, and there is an increas-
ing demand noted for dry goods. The
feeling is very hopeful all along the line;
and settled weather, together with an
easier money m rket, would surely siimu-
late almost every branch of business ac-
tivity.
Sugars have advanced &c as the logical
result of the situation in San Francisco.

THREW THE CARGO OVERHEARD.
An American Skipper's Treatment
by Canadian Customs Officers.

NEW YORK, April ga despatch from
S. Pierre, Miquelon, says Captain White of
schooner Rapid Transit, of Gloucester.
Mass, entered Fortune Bay a week or two
ago under register, with salt, TO procure a
cargo of herring, having previously taken a
cargo Of frozen herring to Boston under
bond. After his arrival the vessel was
boarded by Customs Officer Mullins, who, on
examining the papers and finding them cor
rect entered and cleared the schooner coast
wise, and demanded duty on the SALT which
White paid Mullins then authorized White
to load, Whites former bond being re-dated
by Collector Clinton for that purpose. Sub
sequently, when Whites vessel was nearly
loaded with herring, lawfully purchased, the
revenue steamer Fiona, with the Judge and
court arrived. White was summoned to ap-
pear. and given 80 minutes to decide whether
to 60 to jail at Harbor Briton for three
months and have his cargo confscated, or re-
tain 80 barrels Of herring the quantity al
lowed fishing vessels, and pay license fee.
Captain White replied, 81 will do neither"
but being compelled to decide accepted the
latter option, whereupon Captain McGrath
Of the Fiona sent crew and threw over
HOO barrels of herring, White stating to him
at the time "You do this on your own re-
sponsibility." He then paid $50 to the court
instead Of going to prison. Great excite
ment exists among American captains now
here on account of the arbitrary ruling of
the court and the destruction of private
property, involving serious loss and damage
to the owners. Captain White returns home
with his empty vessel, and will seek redress
for what he considers fragrant wrong and
an act of injustice; in fact, another Fortune
Bay outrage.

To The Editor of the Press:
As we have no paper in Saco, please allow
me space in the Press to reply to above
that the mistake, II mistake there be, Is
wholly with oar Biddeford friends. A bill
asking for post Office and custom house
building in Saco. was introduced in the 5lst
Congress, but not till after the committee on
public buildings had reported and the appro-
priation exhausted. At this session Of Con-
gresS, Saco was promptly on hand and Its
bill before the proper committee, before the
Bddeford Board Of Trade woke up and con-
cluded that Blddelord must have a new
building. The Biddeford Office is in the bes.
building in the city, centrally located and sup
piled with all the latest improvements In
lock boxes, etc. while the furnishings of the
SaeO Office are on par with the building.
which IS one OF the most dilapidated and un'
safe buildings in the city
The Biddeford Office does about double
the business Of the Saco office, but lis ac-

CAST DEMOCRATIC VOTES.
Negroes Were Cheated In the EIec-
tion Which Led to Clayton s Death.

LITTLE Rock, Ark. April 25.-The Clay
ton-Breckinridge investigation committee
examined about 70 witnesses today, nearly
all being negroes They testified that they
voted at White River precinct, Woodruff
county, at the presidential election, each
swearing that he cast straight Republican
ticket containing the name of John M. Clay
ton as candidate for Congress. The county
clerk and attorneys for the parties to the in
vestigation and the contestee counted the
ballots in the White River precinct box, and
reported to the committee that they found
210 for Breckenridge and A for Clayton. A
majority Of the negroes who testified were
unable to read, and could not tell whether
the tickets shown them were the ones they
voted or not. In a few cases the ballots
showed that they voted for Breckenridge In
this state number is written on the ticket
corresponding to the number opposite the
name Of the voter in the poll books. 1t is
easy to ascertain the ticket cast by each vot
or. In nearly all cases where the negro was
unable to read, the ballot produced was
straight Democratic one.
