BOWD0IN COLLEGE
Opens the Spring Term With
the Usual Attendance.
Base Ball is the All Absorbing Topic
--Materia! is Good.
This Years Team viii Probably be the
Strongest Tor fears.

BRuxswicK. April l2.-{Speeial. The
spring term of Bowdoin College opened
Tuesday after weeks vacation. Most of the
students were present and the rest viii return
during the week. Nearly ali who remained
out during the winter term have returned.
but quite number are kept at home by
sickness.
Typhoid fever has been unusually COM
mon and severe in Brunswick this spring
aad gloom is east over the opening of the
term by the death during vacation of j.
Eyarts Pearson. popular member Of the
freshman class. living in this place 1t is
the first death to oecur among the members
Of the college for several years. 1t is hoped
that the organization Of the Brunswick Vii
lage Corporation. one of whose chief Aims
is the immediate construction of an
extensive and improved sewerage system,
will bring about a much needed reform in
the sanitary condition Of the village.
The base ball question Is one of the most
discussed matters as the spring term opens,
and its importance is not lightly considered
by the college in general. Capt. Hutehin-
son has for a large part of the winter term
been giving the candidates regular work
and drill in the gymnasium with very salts
factory results. The practice will be trans
ferred to the Delta tomorrow or next day,
as the ground is in fairly good condition,
and then it will be carried on with much
more vim and enthusiasm. Downes, the
fielder and famous batter, who graduated
last spring, is the only member
of last years team not now in
college, and the nine will probably
be made up very nearly the same as last
spring 1t will be strong team and the
students entertain most sanguine hopes
that it will defeat The other three colleges
in the contest for the pennant. Harrington,
Plaisted, and Williams, freshman who is
developing in fine style. will doubtless do
the pitching and Allen will be the leading
catcher. Manager Clifford has arranged
several games outside the league schedule,
among them being one with Tufts College
here the 2sth of April, and one with Exeter
on Memorial day.
The freshman nine, which distinguished
itself by defeating the sophomores last fall,
contains some good material and hopes to
arrange several games during the term,
among others one with the Colby freshman
Capt Soule of the freshman team, is at
home now in Freeport, said to be seriously
ill with typhoid fever.

TIE cARavELs EXPECTED SOON.
What Will be Done With Them PuzzIGq the
Authorities.

WASHINGTON, April ~ The caravels
are at last TO reach the United States. The
commanding officer of the Santa Maria.
Capt. Concas. has telsgraphed the navy de-
partment inquiring abont the weather likely
70 prevail during the next few days, and in
tima'ing that he proposes to leave Havana,
where the earsvels are now stationed, for
Hampton Roads at once.
The conveyance of these ships to this
country was expensive, and now that they
are here the department is puzzled to know
what to do with the useless things. 1t is
sal by the constructors that much better
craft could have been built on this side of
the water at the sacrifice of only the senti-
ment that they would not have crossed the
ocean, symbolic Of the voyage OF Colum-
bus. to join in the parade of modern war
vessels.
II is not known Mt the war department
whether Capt. Concas will depend on the
sails of his ships or resort 10 the more GER
tain means of being towcd tn Norfolk from
Havana. They will proceed with the ships
from Hampton roads to New York and take
part in the parade. 1t is then proposed
that tLey shall be taken to Chicago and ap-
pear off the EXPOSITION grounds during the
fair. Their ultimate destination is as
yet unknown.

THE GREAT QUESTION.


WAsaiNGToS, April IA systematic
inquiry among the great number of strsn-
gers congregated in Washington during the
last month has left no doubt of sentiment
little less than unanimous as to what this
country's policy should concerning Hawaii
and kindred questions. This sentiment is
that we should pursue continental pol
icy" active as to Hawaii, vigilant rs to
Canada, and watchful as to the southern
countries, giving notice to all the world 10
keep ''hands off,"
ifreasons should develop of contrary
intention on the part of President Cleve-
land, or should it come to be understood
that there is any liability to unsoundness
in the administration action following
upon Commissioner Blounts report from
Honolulu, there would be an instant protest
through every channel of popular express
sion.
A do-nothing policy is favored by a few
individuals only. The public mind is practi.
cally solid for annexation as speedily as
practicable as to Hawaii, and in favor of
steadily advancing toward union with Can
ada. As to the southern republics there
appears to be no other idea than closer
commercial union. There is no subject on
which public opinion is so firmly fixed as
on navy that will be fully up in every re-
spect to a comprehensive American policy
While positive distrust cannot be said to
felt of Mr.. Cleveland's intentions, it is
nevertheless true that the public mind is
not without degree of anxiety as to the
purpose in sending Mr.. Blount to Homo
lulu. 1t should be borne in mind that this
anxiety is entertained among representa-
tive Democrats gathered here from every
state.

oErao,rs NEWPORT TRIALS.
She Developed Nigh Speed and Showed Great
Turning Ability.

NEWPORT, April l2.--The cruiser DE,
troit had her official trials here preliminary
to her acceptance by the government. She
developed remarkable speed and showed
surprising curves and time in turning. The
runs were the government measured mile
course in this harbor, for the purpose of
standardzing her propeller revolutions for
the fiual test, the four hours run straight
away.
The cruiser was runa n Z, 10, II and l6
knot speed, and the maximum at the low
rates unusual qualities were shown. At the
maximum speed of 10 IA knots was
developed, and the mean of her four runs
at the maximum was is i-l0 knots. this the
builders claim with engines never fully
opened and with inexperienced fremen.
They say that in the big test 20 tnots will
be made at least.
The engines at great speed work easily
and smoothly. The vessel at the low rates
ran without vibration aud at the maxiu.um
the vibration was very slight. This feature
particularly pleased the naval board, as did
also the turning of the Detroit. At full
speed the cruiser turned completely round
and was OFF on the back track in jnst two
minutes and one-tenth of second. The
mean draught during the full speed run was

Lumber Duties Reduced.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The treasury
department has modified the existing regu-
lations as to the entry of lumber sawed in
st. John, N b., from logs cut in Maine, 80
as to make them less stringent.
This is great industry on the northern
frontier. Millions of feet of logs are cut
annually in the Maine forests and fioated
down the St. John river and saved into
lumber there and then returned to the
United States, duty free in ships.
Because of improved machinery the logs
net more lumber than formerly, the saws
being thinner. and the treasury department
has directed that an .sover-run" of pei
cent of the measured quantities Of the logs
sawed into lumber be admitted free of duty
into the United States.
