Visible in the Work of the Assassin at
Sofia, bulgaria.
LONDON, March 30-Public opinion in
London and Sofia holds Russia responsible
for the assassination of the Bulgarian
minister of finance, Baltcheff, and no one
has any doubt that the intended victim
was Stambulof. 1t is not the first time
that Russian intrigue has nerved the
hand of crime Russia contrived the kid
naping of Prince Alexander, and was
proven to be at the bottom OF the PanitZa
conspiracy against the life of Prince
Ferdinand Stambuloff is acknowledged
to be one of the ablest men in Europe.
His genius and energy have created Bull
Caria, and made it the most respectable of
the Balkan states, with the possible ex-
ception of Roumania. He has made it a
military power which not even Russia
can despise.
The Bismarck of Bulgaria.
While Stambuloff lives, it does not mat
ter how many princes Russia may kidnap
or assassinate, Bulgaria lives. Stambulof's
death now would be what the death of
Bismarck would have been in Germany
fifteen years ago or of Cavour when Vic
tor Emanuel was not yet in sight of the
promised land of united Italy. Therefore
his murder would be of the greatest SER
vice to Russia and also in accord with
many dark presidents of Russian history.

Does Prohibition Prohibit?

BooTHBAY HARBoR, April 20, 1891.
A very successful movement has Just been
made at Boothbay Harbor to suppress
drunkenness and the liquor traffic. For
year or more, several lobster smacks and
coasters have been doing quite business in
the line of importing liquor, and three or
four beer shops have been run wide open.
Through these and other channels the town
has been flooded, land drunkenness came to
be common thing.
About four weeks ago, a paper was drawn
up, pledging each signer to do all in his pow
er to enforce the law. and Rev. Mr.. Hans
com, pastor Of the Methodist church, can
vassed the town for signers. The names of
majority of the men In town were soon Sc
cured. Two or three hundred copies of the
paper were then printed, with the pledge en-
closed in square figure, and the names of
signers ranged on the four sides, and were
scattered about town.
Then mass temperance meeting was held
and the large assem- bly, thoroughly aroused by
several speakers. The speech Of Mr.. Hans
com was marvel of eloquence, and at its
close the people were ready for action. The
following evening the signers of the pledge
met and organized with president, vice presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and executive COM
mittee, and the campaign opened. Several
arrests were made. Three persons were
fined, and sentenced to Jail, and then the en-
envy surrendered.
Their case furnishes another proof that
the people of Maine have the power In their
own hands to abolish the liquor traffic among
them whenever they will. Much, however.
depends on good leadership in the attempt.
In this case it was all that could be de-
sired. Associated with Mr.. Hanscom. who

The Cartagena Terminal and Inn
pYoYement Compan ny.

Boston capitalists who have been identi-
fed with the great railroad development
west Of Chicago, are now turning towards
South America as field for the extension of
New England enterprise. The first venture
will be into its most northern country, the
United States of Colombia, which has a pop
ulation of 100000. and the main trade of
which passes up and down the Magdalena
river. navigated for 600 miles, but impassa-
BILE at its mouth by reason of shifting sands
and the absence of an y harbor.
1t is pro posed to build 81 miles of railroad,
giving the traffic Of this river connection
with Cartagena, which has the finest harbor
upon the Spanish main. Subsidies, land
grant. exemption from taxation, and monop-
oily of the wharfage, lighterage and ware
house business have been obtained during
the past two years.
To develop this enterprise. a novel yet
strong plan for the investment Of capital Is
offered by the Old Colony Trust Company of
Boston. Shares In the company are divided
into 100000 of common stock issued TO the
people in Colombia and this country, who
have obtained the concessions, subsidies and
options, and ST. 100000 of per cent cumula-
tive preferred stock, which is offered to the
public at par, and for which full cash will be
obtained from all interests alike,
The preferred stock will be entitled not
only to per cent cumulative dividends. but
per cent additional each year for its re-
demption at par before the common stock re-.
ceiyes anything. After this the common re-
ceives per cent. and then both classes of
stocks share alike In any surplus, but the
preferred stockholders will get common
stock, costing them nothing for all their pre.
ferred stock cancelled and shouid finally
have two-thirds interest in the company.
costing them nothing.
The company will start with net income
of $4,000 per annum from its port earnings
before the railroad is constructed. FnrtheT

A handsome Car.

Several Of the directors of the Boston and

Maine Central corporation, in attending the
monthly meeting here. yesterday, came in
their new car especially built for them by
the Pullman Company. The car is a very
commodious one and we'll arranged for
both business and pleasure. 1t is 70 fee
long, considerably longer than an ordinary
passenger gcoach, and is arranged on the
Mann boudoir plan; that is, a narrow pass
age way runs along one side almost the en-.
tire length, and doors open from this To the
various apartments. 1t is finished in oak
upholstered in old gold plush, and has the
very euphonic and consistent name of "Sor
rento"-a consistent name because Sorrento
is one of the leading resorts on the Maine
Central, and Hon. Frank Jones has a verv
beautiful cottage located at that point, max.
ing 1t his summer home. There are sleepino
ommOdatiOns-which are regulation beds
and not berths-f0r ten people, each room
being fitted with wardrobe, lavatory, writing
desk, etc. A parlor is at one end of the car
and dining room at the other, the latter ele-
gantly furnished with table and movable
chairs, while wall sidebOard contains an
array of silver and glass. The kitchen and
rOrter's room complete the arrangements.
Altogether 1t is a car precisely suited to the
needs of the gentlemen for whom 1t was de-
signed.
