The Condition Of Liberia.

Liberals independence was declared
in 1S47. The republic is peopled with
liberated slaves from the United States
and their descendants, natives Of Africa
who have had the advantage of 200
years. contact with civilization. These
people are called Liberians. There be-
ing no manufactures in the country,
everything must be imported. The ex-
ports are the natural products, to which
may be added coffee, a very fine article
being easily raised, The government
Offices are precisely like those of the
United States. As the national treasury
is empty, the currency is unfortunately
worthless. 80 that English money is used
as available on the steamers.
The feeling Of liberty and freedom
prevails SO that it would be difficult for
the people to come under monarchical
rule, although that is only question Of
time in the opinion Of many. If the
United States does not come to the pro-
lection Of her daughter, England, Ger
many and France all stand ready to
grasp the little republic. Whether this
would be moro favorable to the develop
ment of the country and the elevation Of
the people remains to be seen It would
certainly be the learning of many hard
lessons by the nation.-Cor. Gold

chiefly In the Last third that the most as
tonishing steps forward have been taken,

to yield, from hitherto unknown re-
sources, a myriad aids to easier living.
Petroleum began it, and in the search
for oil many another mystery disclosed
itself. 1t was plain that earth held in

POLICEMEN PREVENTED.
A Shooting Affair on Federal Street Last
Night.

What promised to be tragedy last
night on Federal street was undoubtedly
prevented by Mr.. Frank Robinson and
the timely arrival Of officers Williams
and Firth.
At about 10 o'clock two we'll dressed
young men walked down Federal street
near the United States Hotel. One was
Mr.. Van Morton, shoemaker employed
in shop on Plum street and the other
was Andrew Galloway of Freeport, also
a shoemaker.
When opposite the Perry House the
two became involved in an alteration in
regard to woman who lives in Portland
and both having paid her court harsh
words were spoken.
After the wordy discussion had pro-
ceeded for while Morton endeavored to
draw a revolver which he carried in his
overcoat pocket. Galloway saw the
movement. and clinched with his oppo-
nent, crying out, Don't shoot
They stopped in front of the entrance
to the Salvation Army barracks asd re-
newed their quarrel when Galloway
claims that somebody tried to steal his
watch. The guard and chain were torn
from his vest.
When officers Williams and Firth
arrived they arrested both Morton and
Galloway and relieved the former of his
revolver. Morton at first denied that he
had a revolver.
A PRESS reporter interviewed Morton
in his cell last night and he denied any
quarrel but said he took the pistol away
from his son last evening
When Morton pulled the revolver on
Federal street a couple of cartridges
dropped on the sidewalk.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Rumor That the Next Move on New Eng
land Railroad Systems Will Be by the
Vanderbilts.

land Railroad Systems Will Be by the
Vanderbilts.
A Portland citizen who has Just re-
turned from New York, reports that there
is some talk in railroad circles there that
the next big move in New England rail-
roads will be by the Vanderbilts, and
that they will not be satisfied until they
obtain the through line to Bar Harbor,
that is, the Boston & Maine and Maine
Central. The story goes that the Van
derbilts will work through President
Frank Jones; and quietly acquire the
control of the Boston & Maine, which
will carry with it nearly the whole
northern and eastern New England rail-
road system. Their plan of campaign
will probably not be far different from
that pursued by Mcleod when he made
his famous coup, with this exception,
that the Vanderbilts have plenty of
money and buy railroad properly to
keep. Should they gain possession of
the :roads in this region they would
probably continue the present conserva-
tive management.
