cLARKsoN DID US UP.
The Boston Club Played with the
Portland Aggregation.

The Bostons, champions Of the National
Leaue, played a game Of ball with the Port
lands yesterday on the home grounds and
won as everybody expected they would,
though that did not prevent 400 Of the local
cranks going out to see the game. Clarkson
pitched for the visitors and toyed with the
representatives Of this city, while Lawson
pitched for the home team. Whether the
Leaguers could have hit Lawson harder
than they did is a matter of speculation,
though we thought that they could, but
wanted to spare his feelings.
Johnnie O'Brien, the old Portland favorite,
played on the home team and showed he had
lost none OF his ability to play ball and act
the gentleman during his sojourn in the
City of Churches.
The visitors began scoring in the first in
ming. Long lead off with a single, ,,took third
on wild pitch and scored on McGovern's
muff Of loves fly, Lowe taking first A
single by Brodie gave him third and he
scored on Nash's out to OBrien. In the
third, errors by Burns and McGovern and
wild pitch gave. them their three runs. In
the fourth, errors by McGovern, together
with singles by Long. Lowe aud Stovey
gave them two. They earned one In the
next on Benefits double and Kelly's single.
A home run by Tucker in the seventh
sweiled the number of runs, while the sim
giles by Long and Lowe, followed by
double by Stovey, gave them two in the
eighth which completed their run. getting
The. home team made four in the third on
two errors by Long, single by Webster and
McGovern's home run over the left field
fence. Harmon added one to the score In the
sixth by sending the ball over the right field
fence for home. Singles by Morton and
Webster and a double by McGovern gave the
home team one in the eighth, while in the
ninth the Bostons gave the Portlauds a
couple on some rather queer playing just Sc
they would be In it and then ended the
whole with fine double play.
1t seemed very natural to sit In the cold
and shiver to see the boys play ball, to see
O'Brien and Webster scoop in the hot
Rrounders and hear the same old decision of
Umpire Dixon that we heard In the palmy
days OF the championship season.
King Kelly was present and he let.everyone
know 1t. Kelly is tall, dark complectioned
man who is a fine athlete. lie is a well
known ball player and at present holds the
worlds professional record as a Jumper"
Kelly had the same mouth, and used IL as
frequently as he had done heretofore. The

COULD NOT MAKE OUT THEIR CASE.
BIuenose Authorities Return Those
Captured Eastport Boats.
Americans Said to Have Gained
Valuable Fishing Rights.
Claims for Damages Waived by tho
Yankee Fishers.

EAsTPoRT, October 16.-The people here
are much pleased at the return of the Ameri-
can fishing boats wrongfully seized in this
harbor last July, on the charge of fishing in
Canadian waters. Two of the six boats
held by the Dream were surrendered two
months ago upon their owners going across
to New Brunswick to reosive them, and the
other four were brought here yesterday by
Captain Pratt and delivered up. United
States Consul Neill, as representative of the
State Department, lhas been untiring in his
efforts on behalf of the claims of the own.
ers.
The value Of the boats seized was compar-
atively small. but the fact brought .out that
American fishermen have right 0 fish on
Cochran ledge fishing grounds, is worth
great deal. This termination Of the case is
In the nature OF compromise between the
Canadian officials and the Ame rican owners
and leaves nothing for the United States to
contend for.
The vessels were seized off the New Bruns-
wick coast, and itj was claimed by the Cana
dian authorities that they were on the Cana
dian side of the boundary. The fishermen
claimed, on the other hand, that they were
in American waters. There was q heavy
fog over the water at the time, and the exact
Spot OF tn6 SEIZURE couiu not De located al
terward; A United States revenue cutter
visited the scene, and the consul at st. Ste
phens. N. B., in company with the officers of
the cutter, made careful investigation, and,
IS is understood that while the place where
the Dream located the seizure was In British
waters, 1t was place where there are no
fish and where the fishermen never go.
On the other hand, the location given by
the fishermen is on the American side of the
line. The action of the British authorities
In compromising the case seems to show that
they are satisfied Of their inability to prove
that the seizures were made In British wa
tiers.
WASHINGTON, October I6.-The United
States consul at st. Stephens has informed
the State Department that the seven Ameri-
can fishing boats, seized several m lnths ago
near Eastport, Me-, for unlawful fishing In
Canadian waters, have all been released and
the masters have signed bond Of indemni-
ty against all claims arising therefor

NEW YORK, October 16-A mutiny on the

murdered, will be recalled by a visit which
President Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, is preparing to make
as the head Of a deputation to President
Harrison.
The object of the deputation is to plead
for the pardon of Edward Clarke and Ge orge
Miller, two American sailors, who are under
sentence OF imprisonment for life in Thom-
aston, Me-, for participation in thi 8 murder.
The mutiny took place on board the schoon-
er Jefferson Borden, which sailed from New
Orleans for London, about 1874 The vessel,
1t Is claimed, was overladen and underman-
ned, and when she went out to sea the crew
were inhumanly treated. Finally, the cruel
ty OF the ships officers became so great, that
the crew arose In open revolt. Several of
the vessePs officers were wounded, and two
OF the officers killed, their bodies being rid
died with bullets, before the mutiny was
quelled. Clarke and Miller, and an English
when the schooner reached London the En-
glishman was delivered over TO the English
authorities. He was tried for participation
In the murder, found guilty, and sentenced
to ten years impris Onment, his term having
expired several years ago.
On the return of the schooner to this coun-
try, Clarke and Miller were tried in the
United States court and sentenced to death.
Through the delay caused by several appeals
the carrying out Of the sentence was deferred
for some time, and In President Grants ad-
ministration their sentence was committed
to Imprisonment for life.
The Sailors and Firemen's Union has tax
en- up the case. and other organizations have
interested themselves in it. The result is
that q committee of the American Fedora
tion of Labor is to 20 to Washington to in

WATERyILLE, October 16.-A terrible and
fatal accident occurred near the Maine Cen.
tral Railroad shops this forenoon, In which
Mr.. George E. Douglass, a carpenter in. the
motive department Of the shop, met his death
by being struck by one train and run over by
another. His brother-in-law. Geo. F. Libby
of Lewiston, is an engineer who runs every
forenoon on the train between Watervile and
Skowhegan. A few days ago Libby asked
Douglas to make for him cover to box In
which oil cans are carried on the tender to
his engine, and 1t was arranged that Libby
should slow up while posing the shops this
morning and that the cover should be hand
The-trains for Skowhegan and Bangor

10 O'Clock. For some distance out of the
station the two trains run on parallel tracks
and very near each other The Skowhegan
train is the lighter and easily pulled ahead
OF the Bangor bound train. AS 1t neared the
shops, Libby slowed up his train

tween the yo tracks, where he, seemingly
unmindful Of his peril, after rel nquishing his
hold on the cover, turned about and stepped
in front of the Bangor train. In a mo-

struck him and hurled him through the air
and under the tender of the other train. The
wheels of the Skowhegan train passed over
his body, and when at last the moving train
was stopped life was extinct and the body
feariully mangled.

MAILING A LIE.
Secretary Blaine SpOiIs an Ohio Cam.
paign Fiction.
Democrats Had Him Opposed TO The
Mckinley Bill.
A Letter Which Tells Of the Success
Of that Measure.

New YORK. October 16.-An Ohio editor
has written Mr.. Blaine that Democratic pa
pers are parading him as an opponent OF the
Mckinley BILL he replies:
AUGUSTA. Me-, October IA, 1891.
John Hopley, Editor Journal. Bueyrus,
My dear sir-You inform me that, Demo-
cratic papers Of your town and many Demo-
cratic papers throughout Ohio keep the fol-
lowing paragraph standing In type:
"But there Is not a section OF a line In the
entire bill Nhe Mckinley tarifD that win
open market tor another bushel OF
wheat or another barrel OF pork-James q.
Blaine to Senator Frye, July IL. 1890"
This sentence Is Rarbled and taken from
impression. What did say Is the follow
ingi ~, o.,,, .s.. m.,n ,..n..,. 49,.
tariff bill pending In the Senate Is a Just
measure. Most OF It's provisions are In ac-
coIdance with the wise policy Of probation.
But there Is not a section or line In the en-
tire bill that will open market for another
bushel OF wheat on another pound Of PORK"
The letter In which this paragraph occurs
was written to Senator Frye July IL. 1890.
The Mckinley bill did not become law un-
I'll October 1st, nearly three months after
that. In my letter to Senator Frye / object
cd to the bill because 1t did not contain re-
ciprocty clause which would provide mar
ket for the wheat and pork and other pro-
ducts Of the farm, and various fabrics. Be-
fore the bill was finally passed, the reciproci-
ty clause was inserted and a large addition
made to the free list. II will, therefore, be
seen from what said In my l6tter that the
objection made to the Mckinley bill was
entirely removed before the bill became
law. Let me further say that the reclproci-
ty clause has given an ample market for
many barrels OF -four and many pounds Of
pork. Brazil, some months since, entered In
to treaty BY which many American arti-
cles were admitted free. Flour was made
free and pork adEitted at nominal duty.
on flour. from S5S3 a barrel to
81. which gives US the market.
besides putting nearly an hundred articles of
American production on the free list. San
Domingo has made reciprocity treaty with
flour and pork upon the free list, besides a
large number Of other articles. Other trea-
ties for reciprocity are In progress. Germa-
ny, without negotiating formal treaty, has
removed the prohibition ON pork, and our
government. In consideration thereof, has
left her sugar on the free list. This opens
to us an entirely new market, aud SIC, ,000, 900
TO $50, 100000 worth Of American pork will
be consumed per annum, where not a pound
has been taken for ten years. The reciprcci-
ty provision Is provinR very successful, es-
peclallY In farm products, and more particu-
larly In the case Of the two articles men,
toned In the paragraph quoted, flour and
pork. / am not, therefore, an opponent Of
the Mckinley bill, as the Democratic papers
of Ohio are constantly alleging On the
contrary, have cordially supported IL ever
since Il was perfected.
Very respectfully yours.
