HALF ROUND THE WORLD.
ocean Steamers Racing to Gotham
with Wares of CathaY.

NEW YORK, August 1.-The Glen Line
steamship Glenogle completed race half
around the world yesterday with the steam
ship Monmouthshire and beat her. Both
racers were laden with new crop teas and
Japan rice, and each was nightly anxious
to be the first to get the precious cargo into
this port. The Monmouthshire left Hong
Kong three days before the Glenogle sailed
from Annoy. The Glenogle overlook
her rival at the mouth of the Red Sea. She
passed Gibraltar on July 81 with the Mon
to her dock at the foot of Market street at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and was well
coined by 500 people from the Seventh and
Fourth wards. who crowded the pier.
Her actual time from Annoy was forty-six
days. This is three days behind the record
of the Glenshiel of the same line. The Glen
ogle, however, is faster than the Glenshiel.
She is the biggest and swiftest of the Glen
line tea carriers. She can make sixteen knots
an hour, but ON this voyage. her first to New
captain, William Edward Duke, felt pretty
certain he could vanquish tho Monmouth
shire going at that rate, and, besides, he
saved coal, having burned only fifty tons a
day.
$40 tons. She holds the record from Foo
Chow to London of 81 days and IA hours. All
of her fremen are Chinese. They work
cheaper and can stand much more heat than
white man. She brings $500 tons of teas,
value $450,000, consigned to several firms,
and 1920 bags of Japan rice. value $16o, 900,
consigned to Dan Talmage's Sons. Her time
from Japan was 54 days, or one day. ahead Of
the fastest time heretofore recorded from
that point by the steamship Glenshiel.

How the .Chautauquans are Learn
Ing and Enjoying at Frveburg.
FRYEBURG August A.

FRYEBURG, August A.
Sunday came as welcome day Of rest and
worship to the occupants Of the grove. The
morning was filled with the three depart
ments of the Sunday school. primary. inter-
mediate and adult. AT o'clock services were
held in the auditorium.
The c. l.. S. c. vesper service was held in
Normal Hall at 5 p. m.
The most fitting, and to many the most
beautiful service Of the day, was the hour Of
song and prayer held on the rivers bank at
sunset. The chorus was led by the 0rches-
ira, and many of the fayorite. hymns OF
Chautauqua were sung. The quiet river re-
flecting the last glow Of sunset, the purple
mountains, and in the foreground the assem-
bled company under the naples canopy
made delightful picture.
Monday afternoon the first speaker intro
duced by Rev. G. ID. Lindsay was Mrs. Key
nolds, pleasant-faced, earnest-vOlced wom-
an, who gave a most interesting talk Oh an
half hour upon " The responsibility resting
upon this nation and the opportunity LOT tue
carrying on Of Gods work that Is given 10
it," ,,
The next address was given by DIR. Field,
who spoke upon "The Millennium:
The next Speaker was DIR. Whitaker, who
chose the same line OF Thought selected Dy
Mrs. Reynolds. He spoke OF tne great Gre
epochs il was being made ready for
the habitation of man. He sketched the
work of missionaries in early days, how diff
ficult it had been to send Gods word to other
lands, and spoke OF the return In commerce
that the nation had received from lands
christianized. Seventy-fve years ago two
men b. gan the gleat work of converting the
heather of the Sandwich islands; now,
through the work Of these and their fellow
ers. those people are advancing in an intel
lectual and moral life.

Southern Papers Locating a Sensa-
ton at Kittery Navy Yard.



WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Today has been
field day in the House. The revocation Of
the leaves of absence on Saturday had good
effect and most of the absentees were in at
tendance this morning. The House went
into committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of the general deficiency appro-
priation bill with General Henderson of
Iowa in charge. The time of general
debate was limited to four hours.
Mr.. Rogers OF Arkansas, used one
hour of the time as he has done nearly
every day for the past month in making a
most virulent and illtempered attack upon
the Speaker. The secret of this gentleman's
hatred of Mr.. Reed is hard to find unless 1t
be because the gentleman has been defeated
for renomination. Mr.. Breckenridge of Ken

quently interrupted with applause, particu.
larly in his references to the Speaker, and at
his conclusion the Republicans crowded
around his seat with congratulations.
The resolution about the Kittery navy
yard is being made great deal of by the
Southern newspapers in the way of an at
tack upon the Spea ker. The truth of the
matter is, Mr.. Reed never knew there was to
be an additional force appointed, or had
been appointed until after the order Of the
Secretary of the Navy. The resolution was
considered by the committee on rules this
morning, and resolution of inquiry was
addressed to the Secretary of the Navy ask
ing why such an increase of force was made
at this time and the precedents for the same.

opinion both the tariff bill and the federal
election bill would be passed by the first of

Population and Annexation.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The unmistakeable feeling Of disappoint-
ment over the result Of the census enumera-
tion In Portland seems to afford a good op-
portunity for observing that this feeling does
not proceed from mortified vanity, nor does
the desire that the city should show a rea-
sonable growth in population proceed from
mere love of display. Otherwise our staid
and conservative citizens who cannot be
charged with vanity and who regard display
with contempt, unless some substantial pur-
pose is gained by it, would not share In the
disappointment. It woulA - fmmaterial to
them whether the returns gave us more or
less population than In 1880, unless the In
crease or diminution as shown by the census
in some way indicated or affected the nate
rial prosperity Of the city.
Such citizens are, however, just the persons
who fully realize that the business standing
Of the city is largely measured by its relative
rank In population, and are most concerned
TO ascertain the cause of Its failure to make
the expected gain.
The principal reason which occurs to them
is that the city limits are so exceedingly
small there is no chance for growth In popu-
laLlOns Inc WaTuS DebWeen one ana seven
have shown no growth Where ikhe
chance? The houses are full and there rs no
room for more. The growth must go to the
territory outside the city, mainly to Deering.
1t ought to be known and recognized as a
part of the growth Of the city. Before long
wards one and seven will be entirely built
over, If the present rate Of build
ing is kept up, and then the overflow must
all go to the outside territory.
An increase in business will then mean an
actual diminution in population, because as
space occupied by residences Is given up to
business the new buildings required for the
displaced families can be built only outside
the city.
A city ought to include land enough to
furnish room for its natural and certain in
crease.
Had Deering been included within our
limits the estimated population Of 1900
would have been exceeded In the censns,
and would have been justly regarded as evil
dence Of the growth, enterprise and prosper
tty OF the city during the past ten years.
1t may be that the people Of Portland can
do nothing to hasten the c0nsummatiOn OF
this much to be desired result which de-
pends in the first Instance lpOn the will OF
the voters of DeeriDg. but 1t might help
somewhat IL they would relax their dignity
and give a warmer eXpTessiOO to the general
feeling In favor Of annexation.

RocKLAND, August Awhile the sehoon-
er George Bird, Capt. Grey, was lying at
Tilson's wharf today, young man named
James Leonards, brother Of one Of the sail
ors, came aboard and began to insult the
captain. Both Leonards and his brother
we're in toxicated. While the dispute was
in progress, Ernest Grey, the captains son,
appeared on the scene and came in also for
share of the insults. Later on young Grey
met both men on the wharf and meeting
more abuse, went for them, giving each a
terrible beating. James was found on the
wharf by the officers at about 4
o'clock in semi-unconscious con-
dition. Blood was flowing freely. He
was taken in an ambulance to the station.
His brother went aboard the vessel, which
was at once hauled off. The affair will be
investigated.

THE WoRKMEN AT KITTERY.
Fire Didn't Wait for Election So
They Are There Now.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-The House COM
mittee on rules today had under c0nsidera-
the resolution introduced last week by
Representative Cummings providing for an
investigation by special committee Of the
facts connected with the increase of force in
the Kittery (Maine) navy yard, prior to the
Maine elections.
The committee has decided to report the
resolution back so amended as to omit the
provision for syecial committee and to
consist simply of request upon the
Secretary of the navy for statement of his
reason for increasing the navy yard force.
During the discussion in committee it was
stated that when the secretary of the navy
first ordered the force to be increased for the
purpose of replacing the buildings destroyed
by the fire last January, and providing for
the repair of ships, he was ignorant Of the
fact that the Maine Congressional elections
were to be held in September. The law for
bids an increase of navy yard forces within
sixty days prior to the congressional
election except in an emergency and when
the secretary's attention was called to the
date of the Maine election he signed certif-
cate to the effect that the emergency existed
as to the Kittery navy yard.
