In the Alliance News of December IS
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, who visited
Portland last summer, gives the English
people his impression of this city and
the moral and material condition of it's
inhabitants. He says:
Liquor-loving Englishmen have written home
and brought home such extraordinary accounts
OF the effect of the Prohibit0ry Liquor Law in
pected proyidentlal opportunity of visiting
Portland, in the State of Maine, the town OF
General Neal Dow, the headquarters of the Pro-
hibitory movement in the United States. My
taken aback by the almost ideal beauty of the
city Of Portland. We might have been on the
lovely shore OF the Mediterranean during the
most beautiful season OF the year. Portland is
a charming watering place, with a most pictur-
esque coast, and islands dotted over the ocean,
Which, when we were there, was peacefully
LAYING it's shore On this Beautifully shore.
where sea and land were equally fascinating,
stood the fairest city have ever seen. There
was an entire absence of the hideousness and
squalor that we witnessed everywhere in Eng
land. Everybody seemed to be healthy, pros
porous and cheerful. AS we went through the
city we felt that it was 100 years in advance of
anything we have ever seen in England. In
deed, we scarcely dared to hope that a century
foulness and misery as Portland is today.
Contrast this picture with the one
which is being painted here in
our midst-of a town con-
Stunning more rum year by year;
getting noisily drunk on ''villainous
split at rumshops, and from private
bottles at home; of town so hard up
that one of its prominent newspapers is
advocating the opening of more rum
shops so that more money may be put in
circulation here; of town upon which
liquor has taken so firm hold that it
has gotto turn out a 'proportionate num-
ber'' of drunkards every year anyhow; of
town whose efforts to repress drinking
and drunkenness have proved so utterly
futile that it is deemed best by ''large
number of professional and business

The story of the concentration of the
CHILEAN fleet in the Straits Of Magellan
turns out to be all humbug, like great
many other stories that have been put in
circulation during the tendency of the
controversv with Chill by the people who
are an-Lously scanning the horizon for
signo "a ,dr indeed the war material
has So fur been exhausted that the war
prophets (whose wish in many cases is
undoubtedly father to their predictions)
have been driven to the expedient of
claiming that Chili's growing disposition
to meet our demands fairly is all sham,
meant merely to gain time. We guess
the war boom is over.

The inter national silver conference
device by which the eastern Democrats
hoped to stage off the silver question I'M
til after the Presidential election appears
likely to result in dismal failure. The
coinage committee have decided to re-
port unfavorably in regard to it, while on
the other hand they have decided to re-
port fsForably on bill for the free and
unlimited coinage of the silver dollar
and to present their report to the House
early in February. Of course there is no
longer any chance of keeping the silver
question out of the House, and no longer
any prospect that the Democratic party
will be able to dodge it. Its representatives
have got to put Che'nselve; on record on
one side or the Other, with pretty good
chance of wrecking their party whether
they vote for free silver or against 1t.

He Arrives ut Virginia Beach-Greetinr ut
Petersburg.
President Harrison, Mrs. Harrison, their two
grandchildren, Mrs. Dimmick and Two servants
arrived at Norfolk yesterday afternoon on a
special train for Virginia Beach, where the
PRESIDENT and party will spend a week in rest
and recreation. When the train drew into the
station at Norfolk the President was saluted
with salvo Of twenty-one guns from the bat
terry OF the Norfolk Light Infantry Blues, the
crack veteran company of Norfolk large
crowd was at the station to meet the dis
tinguished visitors. The party was taken in
charge by Gen. v. D. Groner, who escorted
them to Virginia Beach, where they arrived in
time for o'clock supper. The President
seemed to enjoy his run through middle and
tidewater Virginia, and when he retired last
night was not at all fatigued. The weather,
which had been bad for several days, was clear
and pleasant last evening.
When the presidential train arrived at Ash
land, sixteen miles north of Richmond. the
students of Randolph-M Macon College gave the
college yell, ending with "three cheers for
Baby McKee,"
A large crowd greeted the presidential party
at Petersburg. There were loud calls for the
President and he was forced to make his ap-
pearance. He was introduced to the assem-
blage by Mayor Collier as benjamin Harrison,
the President of the United States" and was
greeted with cheers. The President spoke
from the rear platform Of his car, with uncov-
cred head. His speech was very brief, mere
expression of thanks for the courteous recep-
ton extended him ana the hospitable spirit Of
the people, as shown by the large gathering.
The President excused himself from much
speaking because OF a severe cold.

terror as the thought that this is the year 1892

''Say 20 him then, said the young man in .

MILITARY SURVEYING.
Two Views Presented Before the Geographic

Two Views Presented Before the Geographic
Society Last Night.
Two views OF military surveying during the
civil war we're presented at a meeting Of the
Geographic Society at the National Museum
last night, representing the Typographical work
OF both armies engaged in the conflict. Mr..
Gilbert Thompson delivered an address on be-
half OF the Union engineers and Mai. Jed Hotch-
kiss did the same for the confederate surveyors.
Mr.. Thompson read careful review of the
work OF the army topographers during the war.
He said they we're necessarily the vanguard and
consequently subjected to all the dangers that
war involves Oftentimes they we're shot down
unawarss and frequently taken prisoners, but
he wished to say to the credit of American man.
hood on both sides that never did an engineer
betray his trust. SO true we're they that when
surprised and captured the first thought with
them was to destroy all the data they had col
lected If possible, SO as not to give the captors
any advantage Of their work. No men took
greater risks, did harder or more invaluable
service They were the sine qua non to the
army and without them the war might have
been prolonged indefinitely
Maj. Hotchkiss said that beyond Question
Lee was the most superior engineer that this
country had produced. and that jackson
studied maps at times nearly the whole night
he said that one of the great results of the war
was the knowledge gained Of the topography Of
the country by the engineers on either side 1t
was the work of those daring, unarmed SOL
uiers; save with note book and pocket compass,
tnat had laid the groundwork for the splendid
geological system that is now being so admir-
ably worked out. He predicted that the time
was not far off when the government would
nave IN its possession minute Typographical
map OF the whole country, equal to those that
the imperial generals of Europe study with so
much assiduity:

Judge Nelson VIII No Longer Omciate q
That Place


Between the running Of the second and third
races at Gloucester yesterday Judge Nelson
and President Thompson had a disagreement
over the affairs Of the track and it wound up in
MIR. Thompson requesting Judge Nelson to re-
tire. Whatever il-feeling there was between
the president and judge of the track was height
ened by an investigation held over the actions
Of Jockey Clerico in the first race.
Clerico rode Easter and he DELAYED many
starts. Finally, when start was made, Easter
got of SO badly that he was practically left at
the post. Starter Pettingill had Clerico up
before the executive committee with the re-
suit that he was suspended for thirty days.
Judge Nelson was in favor Of suspending the
trainer for the same length Of time. but in this
he was not supported by the other members
OF the committee.
After the committee had left the Office Judge
Nelson and President Thompson had some
words. and the judge consigned the president
to a place too warm for comfort and told him
he could secure another judge. Mr.. Thomp-
son took Judge Nelson at his word, and Mr..
James Watson offcated in the stand during the
last four races. Judge Oden Bowie has been
appointed as the successor to Mr.. Nelson. AT
present Judge Bowie is in the University OF
Pennsylvania Hospital suffering from dis
located shoulder.
