Immigration Increasing.

New YORK. November 16.-The steamer,
City of Chester, from Liverpool, landed 324
steerage passengers on Ellis island and the
steamer Etruria, 1872, making total of 656.
This is the largest number that has been
landed since September, and from this on
it is probable that the big government
building on tho island will begin to assume
some of its old time activity. Colonel Web

$10,594 80

The deficit now Sl0,594 80
A report of the progress of the work, with
detailed statement showing the receipts
and expenditures. will be made to the gov
ernor of the state prior to the meeting of
the legislature.
In view of the urgent need of money to
carry on and complete this important work,
so essential to our material interests, we are
extremely anxious to have an expression of
your views on the subject. We believe that
it is the general desire and expectation that
the state shall take charge of the work, max
ing such an appropriation as shall reimburse
those who have advanced the money to carry
the work SO far forward, keeping the state
fully abreast with all and in advance of
many, and sufficient to fully complete and
maintain such an exhibit as shall attract the
attention of the world to our unequaled re-
sources and opportunities.
We think it is universally desired that this
shall be the work of the state, in order that
the state shall receive the honor, and that
the expense may be fairly and equally dis
tributed.
We desire as early as possible an express
sion of your views, 50 that no time may be
lost in pushing forward the preparation of
the exhibits. We meet again on the 21st of
November, and we beg of you to advise us
prior to that date.
By direction of the board of managers.

THE COLUMBIAN BOARD

To the Legislature Of Kansas.
TOPEKA, November 16.-The board of man.
ayers of the Kansas exhibit at the Columbian
exposition has addressed circular letter to
each member elect of the Kansas legislature.
The letter relates the history of the organiza-
ton of the board. and the work so far
accomplished. 1t then continues as follows !:
1t has been the purpose of our board of
managers to do only those things that were
absolutely necessary to be done in order to
hold our place in line with other states until
the legislature should meet, and then ask
the state to assume the enterprise and relieve
US. We have taken lot and built the house.
and made large collection of exhibits, be-
cause it was part of the work that if done
at all had to be done prior to the meeting of
the legislature, and could not have been
done afterward.
The management has been economical.
The secretary who has devoted his entire
time to the work, has been given a salary of
$50 per month, He is the only paid officer
connected with the enterprise. The men,
bers of tie board have given much of their
time to the duties of their positions, but they
have served without pay. The two lady
members have given their entire time and
have received no compensation.
Much profitable work might have been
done in the development of display of our
cover a wide range, but We have not been
supplied with funds that could be used for
that purpose. Prof. E. Hayward, of the
State university, has been asked to take
charge of this department., and will give it
attention. The educational department is
thoroughly organized, and prepared to make
an exhibit that will fully represent the pro-
gress of the state.
The contributions of money hare been
liberal, but have not been as liberal as the
promises made, and have not been sufficient
to enable the board to employ superintend-
ents of departments, to design plans for in
stallation, or to collect, classify and prepare
exhibits for presentation, or do many other
things that, if done, would contribute to the
complete success of the undertaking.
The total amount of cash contribu-
tions that have been received is..... $7,142 70
The expenditures have been:
For premiums in competition in de-
signs for state building ......... $50 90

Another Sunday Excursion.

Tomorrow there will be another ex-
cursion to the mountains. A special
fast express train will leave the Union
Station at 9.15 a. M, and will make very
few stops before reaching Fabyan's.
Last Sunday was an ideal day for seeing
the great peaks and there is every pros
pect that this Sunday will be just as
fine. The cool, bracing autumn air, COM
bined with the gorgeous tints of the foil
age, will make this trip very enjoyable.
People between here and Rockland will
have chance to go on this excursion,
for the train leaves Rockland at $50 a.
m and arrives at the Union Station at
9.1O. After wait of five minutes it will
leave for the Notch, with all Portland
people on board who desire to go.

is HE A BAD CAPTAIN Z?
He Sold His Cargoof Fish and Has Gone
With the Proceeds.

Wednesday Mr.. James E. Tarr of
Gloucester, Mass, came to Port
land to look after his mackereI schooner
the David Sherman. According to the
story of Mr.. Tarr's Portland agent, the
commander of the schooner, Capt Good
win, who resides in Shelbourne, n. S.,
brought his vessel into this port without
authority, after having been out on the
fishing grounds for nine weeks, and sold
the fare to A. NJ. Smith & Co. for $1,000
The captain then cleared out with the
money. Mr.. Tarr heard that his vessel
was here and ordered his agent to arrest
the captain if in Portland, but the
captain had gone with the proceeds of
the cargo as stated. Mr.. Tarr, on ar
rival here, engaged a captain to take the
schooner back to Gloucester. Only a
week ago one of Mr.. Tarr's captains
skipped from Gloucester with $3.50 the
proceeds of a fishing trip.
1t appears that it is the Nova Scotian
captains who are guilty of these breaches
of trust. American captains very rarely
are false to their trust.
The crew of the schooner say they
think the captain has not gone off with
the proceeds of the cargo, for he told
them that he was going to deposit the
money. They think that he may have
met with foul play.

The Grand Trunk Draw Bridge.

In the United States Court yesterday
G. A. Hight, Esq, appeared in behalf OF
the Grand Trunk Railway and moved
that the indictments against that road on
account of the draw bridge across the
bay channel be quashed. The judge di-
rected that memorandum be made to
the effect that the cases were to be con-
tinued until the next term of court. The
Grand Trunk is about completing new
and improved draw which will undoubt-
eddy meet all the demands of the situa-
ton.
The new draw for the bridge has ar
rived and the draw will soon be closed
for the passage of vessels, while the new
one is being put in place.

DECLINES A REELECTION.
A Sharp Letter from Rev. DIR. Charles
Dickinson.

Rev. DR.. Charles Dickinson. pastor OF
the Berkeley Temple, Boston, formerly
of Portland, in the following letter
ter, refused to accept reelection to the
Prudential Committee of the Board of
Commissioners for Congregational For
eign Missions:
CHICAGO, ILL.,. October 5, 1892.
To the Chairman of The Committee on tine
Nomination of Officers:
My Dear Sir-f must ask your committee to
refrain from using my name in nominating the
officers of the board for the ensuing year. 1t
seems to me also due to my friends who nave
heretofore urged me to continue In office, many
of whom are not present at this meeting, as
well as to the interests of the board ITSELF that
plainly state my reasons for this decision and
request.
Ihave consented for several years, at much
personal inconvenience, to be reelected mem
Der of the Prudential Committee. ! have done
so supposing, from what I regarded as suffl-
Gent evidence, that the policy OF the board IN
missionary appointments would gradually but
surely, and without pr0tracted and disastrous
delay, be enlarged so as to conform to the spirit
and scope of the Congregational denomination
But the conviction has been growing which |
can no longer resist that am mistaken In this
anticipation. Instead OF such progress tnere
has been renewed enforcement of opinions
and methods which make the board the mis-
sionary organ, not of the denomination, but OF a
theological party. -
/ venture, moreover, to assert, what will
probably be denied, but what large proportion
of the friends OF foreign missions are convinced
is true. that the administration of the board is
practically in the hands Of few men whose Ss
Spirit of technicality, and liberalism, and partl-
sanship, rather than. by that spirit OF compre-
hensiveness and adaptation and timeliness
which is befitting a great representative mis-
sionary organization, and 1 am convinced by
six years experience as q member of the com
mttee that so long as this spirit is regnant it
will continue to nu1fy, as 1t has nullified in the
past not only the unwritten will of the churches
but the expressed will of the board itself.
Therefore, believing as do, that an operative
representation of what our president has hap
PLY called the 1.-TWO wings of the board" is, un-
der existing conditions and restrictions OF ser
vice. not practicable, l must respectfully de-
cline to serve longer on the committee.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Louise Hamilton,


Last night Louise Hamilton, supported
by her company, appeared at Portland
Theatre in 1.-THE Little Detective" To-
day. She will be seen in sThe Major S
Daughter.
Anna Eva Fay.
Miss Anna Eva Fay, the well-known
medium, will appear at Portland Theatre
in her scientific seance on spifitualism.
She lis in many respects a remarkable
woman. The peculiar gifts she possesses
have made her admitted to familiarity
with great scientists and made her
sought by the thoughtful and curious.
She claims to have raised the subject to
a scientific plane, and scorning the con-
ventional and transparent methods of
others, she courts an intelligent con-
sideration of her manifestations. In her
seance materializations of spirit forms,
hands and faces take place, music will be
made, and tables will float in mid-air.
Flowers will be materialized and many
other strange and wonderful things will
occur entirely new, and as Miss Fay
does all this in the fullest possible gas
light. it will be a welcome change from
the usual dark room.
The Stockbridge Courses.
Week after next, on Thursday evening,
the Stockbridge Popular course, will be
opened with the unique entertainment
given by the Lady Minstrels, prominent
society womenof Boston. They will APP
pear in the first part with black faces
and powdered wigs. In the second part
there will be dancing and singing, and
many taking variety features. In short
a first class minstrel performance will be
furnished by ladies who decline to have
their names made public
The Regular course will open on
"Wednesday evening, October Goth, with
the scientific entertainment known as
"a Trip to the Moon" The New York
Times said of this:
The illustrations were wonderfully
pleasing and effective. BY combina-
ton of lights and screens the phenomena
attending solar and lunar eclipses were
shown in all their stages, and all the
beauties of sunset and sunrise, with
their gradual shading of lights and
colors, were accurately represented.
The effect was marvellous, and the spec
tators burst into applause.
There has been an increased demand for
seats during the past two days and the
board is being rapidly pegged. Don't
fail to give Mr.. Stockbridge generous
support in both his courses. They are
doubly worth the prices of tickets.
There was a rehearsal of Fra Diavalo
at Grand Army hall last night.
The soloist at the Damrosch orchestral
concert in the Stockbridge course will be
Nine. Felicia Kaschaska, soprano. Be-
sides the boy Patti there will appear in
the Strakosch Opera Company, Signor
Giannini, tenor; Signor Sartori, baritone
who gave such pleasure when here
with Gilmore-and Signor Cesare, pianist.
Cyrene, the high kicker, who appeared
here with Cleveland Minstrels, will be
at Portland theatre in Al Hayness COM
pany next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day in ''Pert." Several of the company
were seen at Peaks Island the past
summer.
