Entries for the worlds Fair.

We call attention to the notice pub
lished in this number by the executive
commissioner Of the Maine Board of
Worlds Fair Managers, in which atten-
ton is called to the Importance of max
ing immediate entry Of all things intend
ed for exhibition. Too much import
ance cannot be attached to this subject.
The exposition itself not only displays
the products of the manufacturers of the
world, but at the same time advertises
them in all of the official lists, to say
nothing of the amount of publicity which
the exhibitor will obtain from the news
papers of Maine, the more prominent
ones of which will have their own spec
ial correspondents upon the grounds to
look up the exhibits. sS

Mr.. Bob Dee Enjoys a Ride.

Mr. Bob" Dee undertook to enioy
himself yesterday afternoon, and in do
ing it created something of a sensation
in this town. To begin with, he hired
team of Babbidge Bros, the Cushman
street stablemen. Once away from the
stable, he began to put the horse through
its PAGES. Near the Portland Eompany's
works the carriage was smashed; but
this did not deter Mr.. Dee from continu-
ing his good time. He left the carriage
and, mounting the horse, continued to
dazzle wondering citizens in the eastern
part of the CITY,. Finally, Officer Flynn
caught him, and last night he slept in
the station, charged with fast driving.

SUPREME. JUDICIAL COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE WALTON.

BEFORE JUDGE WALTON.
FRIDAY--Thomas Foster ct al, VS.. Moose
head Pulp and Paper Company. Action to re-
cover price of six machines furnished to the
mill. 8s,j ~ =.
The plaintiffs are manufacturers of the Foster
& Brown pulp screens at Saccarappa. The de-
PENDANTS claim that the plaintiffs agreed and
warranted the screens to properly. screen four
tons Of dry pulp per day and that they failed to
do; that the product was full of splinters Or
shiyes SO that it retlnced the quality and price
of the pulp that they gave the plaintiffs all the
opportunity to fix them and make them work,
but they were unable to do so. Finally the
company was obliged to take them out and re-
place them with others, and they claim damages
equal at least to the price of the screens
The plaintiffs claim that there was no war
ranty; they claim that the screens would and
did screen four tons of dry pulp in "a hours
and that the excessive amount Of shives in the
screened pulp was not owing to the screens but
to other causes, that the plant was new, and
they had no experienced manufacturer of pulp
about the mill that there are many causes of
shives in pulp besides defective screens such as
bad grinding, etc.
The case will probably occupy all day Satur-
day.

THE EXPORT REBATE.
1t seems Probable that Its Day is over as
Trouble to Portland Merchants.

In his speech at the Board of Trade din
ner ex-M Mayor Chapman mentioned the
ssexnort rebate as one of the causes of
the staenation which he thought he oh.
served in Portland's wholesale trade. The
general reader will not probably under
stand what the export rebate'' is. SO
the Press will give very clear explana-
ton made bv Commercial street mer-
chant Yesterday. 1t seems that it has
been general rule of the Trunk Line
Associations of railroads that FREIGHT
from the West should be delivered in
New York five cents cheaper on a hun
dred pounds than in Boston and Portland
which are practically as near the West as
New York: but the discrimination has
nevertheless been very persistently main
tanned. Boston merchants complained
that with this five cent discrimination
against them they could not export in
competition with New York exporters.
Consequently the railroad Instituted sthe
export rebate" under which Boston
and Portland exporters were allowed a
freight rebate of five cents hundred
pounds on all freight destined for ex
port The result Of this was that mer-
chant in Portland could get carload of
corn which he intended to export, hauled
on the railroad to Portland for five cents
less on the hundred than the rate ON
carload to be put into his own store. In
itself this did not necessarily go against
Portland trade; but,was made to by the
very loose construction which was al
lowed to be put ON the words sfor ex-
port 1t was construed that a man
might load the carload Of corn onto a
schooner and take it to Rockland. and
that this would be an expectation en-
titling the dealer to the five cents rebate.
1t is plain that the effect of this was to
discriminate seriously against Portland
wholesalers and in favor of Rockland and
other coast points. A man with one
room for an office in Portland could get
better freight rates from the West than
the established merchant, with many
warehouses.
But there seems to be a prospect that
an end may soon be put to the rebate bus
iness. The Interstate Commerce com
mission have rendered a decision which
seems likely to give the same rate to
New York, Boston and Portland.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Reduction in Freights.

Reduction in Freights.
Chairman Midgeley, Of the Western
Freight Association, has authorized the
Western roads to make proportional
rate of 81 cents per 100 pounds from the
Mississippi river to Boston, via Chicago,
on all wool shipments from the West.
This is reduction from S15 cents, here
tofore the regular tariff rate. The re-
duction is made to meet the competition
of the 500 line, which, in connection
with the Canadian Pacific, has put into
effect a rate of 55 cents from st. Paul
and Minneapolis to New England points.
The Western roads are enabled to meet
this cut through the cooperation of the
Grand Trunk, which has agreed to pro-
rate with them on any basis made neces-
sary by the action Of the Canadian Pa
Acific. The reduced rate, therefore, ap-
plies only by way of the Grand Trunks
main line to Montreal, Boston and COM
mon points, as none of the other roads
east of Chicago have offered to accept
less than their regular proportions on
this traffic. The result, tits claimed,
will be that the Grand Trunk will get
about all the wool that comes this way.
and will add largely to its tonnage and
revenue, while the other roads are COM
planning of a lack of business.
Boston g. Maine. tGi
The project for "a big elevator at East
Boston, to be built Jointly by the Boston
& Maine and Canadian Pacific, is killed
by Thursdays vote of the Boston &
Maine directors to build the new eleva-
tor on the Mystic wharf. 1t was calcu-
lated that it would cost far more to car
ry freight to East Boston than to Mystic
wharf. 1t is said that an elevator termi
nal at East Boston would be so expen-
sive by reason of increased switching
charges as to absorb all the profit on
through grain from points SO far west as
Buffalo.
1t is now authoritatively stated that
none of the Boston & Maine directors fa-
yored 81 per cent dividend at Thurs
days meeting. The only question was
as to whether it should be OF 4t per
cent. ~

1t is reported in railway circles that

Dear Sir and Comrade: " our letter of
lth inst. was forwarded to the Citizen S
Executive Committee, 26th National En-
campment, G. A. r., and the following
is received from them in reply:
1T is the intention of this committee, pro
vlded the necessary authority shall be accorded
US from congress, to use our municipal funds
to furnish free quarters for all comrades of the
g. A. r. desiring the same, and take all neces-
safy steps to see that they are comfortably and
pleasantly located in them, but at this time it is
Impossible to state just how extensive these
quarters will be, or to give their exact location.
hed Me reel sure from the legislation now pending
Defore Congress, that Comrade Jones can be as
sured that the accommodations desired by the
comrades OF his department will be freely and
gladly furnished by the committee.
Regarding the query raised by him as to
railroad rates, would state that al this writing
line territory, and which has been virtually ac-
cepted by all the lines, is that of one fare for
the round trip. The impression prevails with
the comrades having charge of transportation
al1alrs in connection with the encamprent, that
possibly. a one cent per mile rate may yet be de-
or superstition, onefare rate as above referred
TO being the determination"
There is but little doubt that the ap-
preparation desired will pass Congress,
and If it does the free quarters will be
furnished.

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED
Order To Be Maintained On
 The Mexican Border.
REVOLT MUST BE STAMPED OUT.

Troops to Be sent to the Scene Our
 Neighbor Strained-Captain Bourke on the So-called Revolution. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-Capt. John G. Bourke, of the Third United States Cav airy, who has taken an active part in campaigns against Mexican bandits along the border, has been in consultation with War Department officials here and returns to the Rio Grande country to-day. It is understood that he will be given enough troops to stamp out the so-called revolu- tionists and maintain order
 The representations of the Mexican au- thorities to the State Department have been such that prompt action is necessary if friendly relations with ouT southern neighbor are to be maintained. Captain Bourke says:
 Il really believe things cannot help be- ing worse before they are better. l also believe that the United States is going to do it's best to make life burdensome for the irresponsible and troublesome Mexi- cans who have for the past year made themselves so conspicuously disagreeable.
 'There are two kinds of MeXicanS on our side of the boundary line. Those who reside in the towns, such places as Laredo, Brownsville, Matamoras, Corpus Christi, and San Diego, are in the main very de- cent people, and, of course, have nothing to do with these troubles.
 ''The beligerent class is made up of the worst clements that ever stood in the way If civilization. MeXicans in their origin md speech, but anti Mexican in sympathy hey cause our southern neighbor a great ieal Of trouble.
 'Incidentally they worry us a great leal, for they are just as much anti American as they are anti-Mexican. Their character is utterly devoid of principle, md in all their utterances there is no semblance of patriotism. When you say they 'rel agin the government on each side of the river, you have stated their creed. They live from hand to mouth, and are altogether extremely undesirable people to have any dealings with.
 "Everbody in that region, or nearly ev- erybody, sympathiZes with this lawless- ness, and in very many instances officials who have sworn to uphold the statutes have barred the way so enectually that justice could not be meted out.
 The Rio Grande Valley is very rich country. Its area is as large as that of all New England and its soil extremely fer tile wh erever water can be poured upon it.
 The day is coming when it will be a remarkably wealthy section of the Uni ted States, but before such a desirable condition is possible we must purge our selves of the detestable class which now prevents civilization from putting it's foot in the valley of the Rio Grande.''
 The War Department has received from Gen. Wheaton, commanding the Depart ment of Texas, despatch confirming the news of fight between Lieut.. Vests troop of cavalrymcn and bandits.

WITH IMPOSING CEREMONIES.
The Corner Stone of the Cathedral of St
 John tho Divine Laid.

NEW YORK, Dec 28-The corner stone Divine was laid yesterday hafternoon by the Rt. Rev. Henry Potter, D.D., DC. L., of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, in the presence of host of clergymen and dignitaries of the Protestant Episcopal Church from all parts of America.
 The ceremony took place at o'clock. The site of the Cathedral is at West 10th street, on what is known as the Leake and Watts Orphan Asylum property. The elevation commands 8 fine view of the Hudson river, and many miles of city and country surrounding.
 The scope of the Cathedral, as enun- ciated by Bishop Potter in reconvening the trustees, was declared to be that of a church for the people-all people-and his aim has been kept constantly in view in the six years of revivif1ed work, which has just eliminated in the laying of the corner stone, the first step in the work of actual construction.
 It is to be noted, in this connection, that the design for the Cathedral includes which there will be service, at least, every Sunday, in seven different languages.
 In it's national aspect the Cathedral project commands attention on account of its aim and scope.
 It will, when completed, have cost fully $10, GOO, 900, and no doubt will be Americas greatest church.
 The ceremonies of yesterday were witnessed by an immense throng, which filled and surrounded the temporary cru ciform tent over the foundation.
 Invitations had been sent to the Presi- dent of the United States and his Cabinet, the Governor and his staff, Mayor Grant and Mayor r-elect Gilroy, Bishops of the Episcopal Church and other dignitar- ies.
 Over a thousand guests were seated un- der the tent, from the central staff of which hoated a banner with the arms oi the ancient diocese of New York embossed on blue silk with gold border. Two bright silk American flags hoated from poles at the main entrance.
 The procession of clergy and guests es- corting the Bishop of New York formed at the Orphan Asylum and marched to the site.
 The programme of the exercises which was carried out was as follows:
 Processional.
 Reading from the psalms.
 Special office, prepared for the occasion by Bishop Potter
 Address by the Right Rev. Dr. W. c. Doane Bishop of Albany.
 Laying of the corner stone by Bishop Potter.
 Recessional hymn.
 In the corner was placed large pewter box containing church books and publica- tions and a brick from the first church in America, the church erected by Columbus in 1493 on the island of Hispaniola.
 The procession of Bishops in their robes, doctors in scarlet and blue hoods, choir boys in surplices and divinity students in cap and gown was striking.
 The music included a special anthem written by Choirmaster Parker of Holy Trinity, and was sung under the direction of Richard Henry Warden of St. Thomas.
