Americans Insulted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, October IL
News from Butariatra, the chief city of
the Gilbert Islands, gives gloomy out
look for American trade on the islands
unless the United States does something
to protect its rights. Since the British
flag was hoisted in July Americans have
been subjected to many insults and ma
tive chiefs have been plainly told not to
pay attention to the orders of United
States Consular Agent Rich who here
tofore settled all disputes and had been
real power on the islands. Command
Ell Davis, of the British man-of-war Roy
alist, went aut of his way to insult the
King and leading Americans. Captain
Ruskel local manager for Wightman
Bros, of San Francisco, has complained
of Davis actions to the secretary of
state at Washington. 1t is no secret that
Davis wishes to break a contract of isl
and5trade which two his American firms
have secured and turn itsover to the Ger
mans. 1t is said the islands were seized
by the British in order that they may be
traded to Germans for territory in
Africa Meanwhile the King is waiting
to hear from the United States in regard
to his application for a protectorate as
he holds that the British protectorate is
invalid because it was established with
out his consent.

zen shall have the right to cast his full
ballot and have that ballot counted as
cast, without distinction of race.

union with the Free Baptists and other
denominations stated that no results had
been reached since the last council and
recommended a continuance of it's func-

RuMFoRD FALLS ROAD.
The Surveys for the Extension Completed
The sulphite Mill at the Falls and
Other Matters.

The surveys for the extension of the
Portland and Rumford Falls railroad
have now been completed by the survey
ing party under Engineer "A. S. Hilton,
and on the Oath of this month the con
tract will be let. Three routes have
been surveyed, the first from Mechanic
Fails, along the Little Androscoggin
through Minot Corner to the Maine Cen
tral railroad at a point two miles this
side of Auburn. The second route would
be from Mechanic Falls through Poland
Corner within mile and quarter of
Poland Spring, and thence to the Maine
Central railroad, at the same point as
that reached by the first route. The
third route begins at Mechanic Fails,
runs through Poland Corner, Poland
Springs, and thence to Danville Jnnc-
miles in length and the other two about
III miles each. These routes are now
being examined, with a view of determ-
lining which is preferable.
1t is understood that the Portland and
Rumford Falls road is doing an excellent
business, the local traffic along the ex-
tension surprising all expectations. The
traffic on account of the work now going
on at the Falls is also large, and is al
ways likely to be, as the industries that
are being established will furnish good
deal of traffic. Arrangements have just
been perfected for the building of the
new sulphite pulp mill which will be the
largest in the state, with capacity of
20 tons day.
Work is going on expeditiously at
Rumford Falls, and the new bridge
across the Androscoggin is well under
way. This bridge will be one of the
five best iron highway bridges in New
England, with span of 1S2 feet and 30
feet wide, with an 1S-foot drive and two
5-foot walks. The abutments for this
bridge are practically completed.

EDITING THE HYMNAL.
Tt Made Considerable Stir Among the Epis-
copaI Deputies.

BALTIMORE, October 17.-In the Epis-
copal House of Deputies today the re-
port of the commission on the hymnal
was taken up. Rev. DR.. Henry W. Mel
son of Western New York, presented a
voluminous report. He pleaded that the
action of the committee be ratified by
the House without going into committee
of the whole. DR.. Nelson presented a
resolution that the present hymnal be
used until the next general convention in
addition to the revised one. The hymns
omitted by the commission are: Numbers
3, 80, 45, lO2, 104, 139, al, 143, 1852, 1865.
45S, 4s0, 4s3, 49s, 500, 500, SIS, 522, 553,

The only other changes the commits
sion made are in hymn 81. verses 4 and 5
and hymn 1876, verse 21. line 1, so that it
may read as in the report of 1889. ssAll
the world is Gods own field.''
Considerable opposition was made to
the adoption of the report. Rev. Mr..
Davis, Of Missippi, offered resolution
to the effect that the proposed hymnal
be permitted for use until the next gen
eral convention. Some opposition was
developed to the suggestion to consider
the hymnal in committee of the whole.
While the discussion was at its height,
Secretary Tatlock appeared from the
House of Bishops with message No. Al.
This message stated that the Upper
House had passed a resolution adopting
thereport of the joiatcommission on hymn
nalwith these changes: Omit hymns SO,
part 2; POS and 652; restore hymns 24S,
396, 31S, 504; add the dpxology to hymn
1856; prefit the first verse Of hymn 314 to
hymn $50.
Motionx and resolutions were made in
inextricable confusion, but the House of
Deputies finally concurTed in the mes
sage from the House of Bishops.

ter they had secured rooms, MI. Reid
went away, but left his secretary with
Mr.. Blaine. ID. 0. Mills. sent carriage

were driven to the Damrosch home. Mr..
Blaine's arrival in the city interested the
politicians. 1t was reported that Mr..
Blaine would write another letter here,
intended for Irish-American voters.
When Mr.. Blaine heard of this story he
laughed and said to reporter: II am
in New York waiting for Mrs. Blaine.
She will probably be here tonight OF to-
morrow. Soon after her arrival we will
journey to Washington, where we will
spend the winter. That's all the politics
there is in my visit to New York"
When asked if he would write another
letter or make other speeches in the cam
paign, Mr. Blaine replied: 81 would not
want to answer that directly. If say
mo- | shall be besieged by people who
will beg me to do something for my par
ty. If | say yes shall be requested
to go here, there and everywhere, and l
won't know which way to turn. So you
see, there is only one thing for me to do.
That is, to rest. am obliged to take
good care OF my health. That comes be-
fore politics.

The Chilian bark Augusta was fired up
on late last night in the straits four
miles below here by the United States
cutter Oliver Wolcott The Augusta at
tempted to leave Puget Sound without a
customs house clearance. The trouble
was occasioned by jealousy between
Chilian Consul Macoudray and Vice
Chilian Consul Delion at Tacoma, as to
which shall transact the business of the
Chilian government on Puget Sound.
The Augusta arrived several weeks ago
from Chill, surrendered her register to
Consul Macoudray and proceeded to Ta-
coma to load cargo. Vice Consul De-
lion advised the captain to demand the
register from Macoudray and, if refused,
to proceed to sea with a temporary reg
lister provided by Delion. Macoudray
instructed the vessel TO clear from Port
Townsend. AS the vessel was going to
sea she was overtaken by the Wolcott,
She>would not heave to until fired up
on. The vessel is subject to $500 fine. 4
