The South to be Benefited.

The abuse which has been heaped upon
the present Congress by Democratic
sneakers and the Democratic press will
not arrest the beneficent effects OF the
legislation it has enacted. The Mckln-

can interests, with the reciprocity pro-
vision incorporated, opening the markets
of South and Central America to Amerl-
can products, and the subsidy bill to en-
courage commerce with those countries,
will fully demonstrate their wisdom be-

HANOVER IS TIRED OF ABBOTT NOW.
Efforts Being Made To Secure His
Immediate Removal.
Proprietor Of the Hotel Orders Him
Taken Away.
Sone People Believe He Is Stronger
Than He Seems.

HANOVER, N. e., August 24.-The same
law-abiding spirit of the citizens Of Hanover
which was equal to the severe test put upon
crime, George III. Abbott was dragged from
his lair in Warden's barn, is undergoing a
rapidly increasing strain as the days pass by
with no Indications Of his removal to jail.
When told that the law required action by
the Supreme Court before he could be taken
from Grafton county to jail supposed to be
strong enough to hold such desperate, the
people were, of course. content to wait.
They did rot think it would be necessary to
wait so long. Today the heretofore silent pro-
test has taken shape In this petition to the
Supreme Court:
TO the Honorable Judges of the Supreme Court of
the State of NetO Hampshire.
lnasmuch as II is nearly five days since the so.
called Frank O. Almy, murderer, was captured
and brought into the yillige of Hanover, during
which time he has had pleasant quarters In our
hotel; and. inasmuch as his retention there Is
producing an impression both dem0rallZing and
detrimental to the interest $ OF our community,
and inasmuch as we are informed that the omcers
in charge of him await the action OF the Supreme
Court before removing him to jail; we therefore
respectfully petition that sucn action may be TAX
en- as speedily as possible, so that he may be
placed at once in proper place OF confinement.
frOI6SSOr William L. OmlLI, Wuil6 LalkIuR
with N. S. Huntington and the Associated
Press correspondent, voiced the sentiment of
the community when he said: I'VE don't
want this man here. This monster In crime,
who Is lie to himself and lie to everybody
else. His very presence p0llutes the atmos-
phere and he should speedily be put in
place provided for such as he." That Sher-
if Brigham and his able corps of deputies Is
doing everything that can be done to safely
guard him. everybody knows. But they can
not forget that he once made a bold dash
from the bed on which he lay seriously
wounded, almost from under the eyes of as
good an officer, and that he led his pursuers
a long chase. They also realize that an un-
expired term In the Vermont penitentiary Is
fair evidence that the best Of prison walls
will not hold him.
Professor s. s. Coues, lecture on surgery
at the Dartmouth Medical College, who
helped set Abbott's leg, says: THAT man Is
not In a safe place. With the plaster and
bandages on his limb he could be a lively
fellow for little while, and with nelp from
c0nfederates he might escape"
:, Il. I. Smith, proprietor. of the Wheelock
House, perempt0rily ordered AbbOtts re-
moval from his premises. Mr.. Smith says:
II did not want him brought to my house at
ALL but felt under the circumstances that
must make the sacrifice. But must draw
the line somewhere, and he has got to get
out Of here without further delay"

The young admiral was dumbfounded, If
the language of those in position to know
expresses it. He recognized that there was
only one thing to do-namely, get away from
Port au Prince without delay, and right then
and there, in Admiral Gherardi's cabin, he
asked permission to get up anchor.
You can fly the signal for permission to
get up anchor and l will reply to IT, was
the quiet reply.
Admiral Walker withdrew and Immediate

fore going below, he ordered the permission
signal to be hoisted
The signal was read by every officer in the
two fleets, and In less than 80 seconds they
all read the reply, "You will remain at an
chor until further ORDERS" and what made it
more aggravating, young officers declared,
was the fact that the signal remained up
tantalizlngly long. For Sc hours Rear Adj
miral Gherardi held Acting Rear Admiral
