The proposed Camden extension of the
Knox d Lincoln railway seems destined to
meet with much delay and difficulty. A few
weeks ago, the work Of surveying the route
began and many people here are indignant
at the course 1t takes. Instead of using the
Lime Rock railroad track to the northern
end OF the city, as was first proposed, the
staked out line cuts through the finest and
heaviest tax paying residence lots, sacrificing
much valuable land and causing endless in
convenience. Even If the Lime Rock rail-
road Is not used, 1t Is claimed that a track
parallel with it would be far less costly as
regards land damages and construction,
while far more harmonizng condition OF
things would certainly result. A protest is

Secretary Foster VIII Send a Gutter
TO Eastpott.

WASHINGTON, July 2o-Secretary Foster
has just received another telegram from
Representative Boutelle of Bangor in regard
to the seizures Of the American fishery yes
sells near Eastport, Me-, by the Dominion
steamer last Thursday. Mr.. Boutelle inti-
mates that some of the seizures were made
in American waters, and suggests that rev.
enue cutter be sent to Eastport for the better
protection of American fishing interests in
that vicinity. AS the question Is an interna-
tional one, Secretary Foster has referred all
the correspondence he has received on the
suDJect 10 the State Department for such ac-
tion as may be deemed necessary. He said.
however, that revenue vessel will be sup
piled, II necessary.
The following is the telegram sent by Con-
gresham Boutelle:

Liquors Seized by Uncle Sans Off
cers Nor on the Maine Market.

RoCKLAND, July 20.-It will be remem-
bered that some time ago Collector Luce sold
at public auction lot of liquor seized by the
customs authorities at this port. This was
done under the law providing for the sale Of
LIQUOR seized by United States officers in the
district where such seizure Is made. When
the sale was advertised Secretary Mitchell
of the Peoples Prohibitory League attempt
ed to have the sale stopped. AT the sugges-
tiOn of Secretary Luce MIR. Mitchell laid the
case before the department at washington.
In reply Secretary Luce was notified that
the sale might be held elsewhere II tne IN
terests of the government could be equally
subserved. Mr.. Luce apparently could not
find better market than Rockland and the
liquor was sold here, although Nj. Mitchell
tried to secure postp0nement.
1t was then decided by the League TO make
a strong movement for general order that
liquors forfeited In prohibitory states for vi
olation Of revenue laws be sent to other
states for sale. Such action, however, was
rendered unnecessary by the voluntary ac-
tlon OF the department, which Is Indicated
by the following letter received by Secretary
Mitchell a few days ago:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, \
~. - WAsHIMGToN, D. G., July 10, lS9i;l
Mr.. y. w. Mitchell Secretary Peoples PT0hfbtt0-
reinforcement League, Roekldrd, Me:
Sir-Referring to your letter Of the 18th. ulti-
mo, In regard to the sale by the collector of Gus
toms at Rockland, of certain whiskey seized for
violation of the revenue laws, have 10 inform
you that said collector this day instructed to
withhold all spirituous liquors, when seized or
abandoned, from sale, and 10 report the cases OF
the department for such action as will not contra
vene local statutes
Yours respectfully,
y. l.. SPAULDING,
Assistant Secretary.
This is a matter of very general interest.
and is no small gain for prohibition. Such
sales in this state have besn quite common.
and not in this state alone, but in other
states. The action of the department is in
the line of justice and regard for the senti-
ments and laws of the state 1t Is practical
ly a general order that liquors seized in pro-
hibitory states shall be sent elsewhere for
sale.
