The Oil City Blizzard says: "A certain
Sportsman wants the game laws amended

from Sept. l to Oct. l." And no doubt
bloodthirsty desire will meet with an
answering response in the hearts Of our
reader. The drummer. the insurance
agent. the lightning rod man and the book
agent have furnished the humorous para
grapher with rich material. At these and
the long suffering and patient 'mother-in-
law many an arrow OF satire has been d.
reoted. Truly, the presidency OF the aver
age agent does sometimes fragile our pa

The cost Of hauling the Bell Boy ore, a
distance of two and one-fourth miles, was
80 cents a wet ton. The cost Of mining in |
Bell Boy was higher on account Of the
property not being opened up at the time
OF purchase. There was during 1892. $4,000
tons of ore mined and miiled at the EN-
pire properties, and 10,S90 from the Bell
Boy.
A great painter, whose pictures we're
famous for their coloring, was once asked
how he mixed his colors. and he answered:

If asked how they were enabled to mine
and mill the ore in the Empire and Bell
Boy properties 30 cheaplv, might have
made the Same answer. In mining they
recognized the fact that the greatest cost
was not In breaking the ore. but in breaking
the richer ore. and timbering the poorer to
keep it from falling. and in sorting ont the
good ore, which must always be lone by
hand. for no matter how much ce o is used
i'll taking out rich ore. there will be much
poor ore mixed with it, in such a vein as
that of the Empire. In that vein it was
cheaper to break all the ore, and send it to
the mill, saving both timbering and sort
ing. for the walls were Of such strength, the
underlie not being at a great angle, that
timberinR could be dispensed with, except
in a few places. 1t was also cheaper 10

DEMOCRATS SAY LITTLE.

Washington, December Ex-senator
voorhees,, when interviewed, character
lied the Presidents message as exceed
ingly strong and unanswerable. Other
Democratic Senators preserved silence on
the subject. The Republicans generally
condemned the message. Senator Frye
said the whole message proves that Mr..
Blount was appointed counsel for
Queen Liliuokalani and the President
has now constituted himself attorney
for Mr.. Blount.
Mr.. Dingley said "The message pre-
sented the Hawaiian matter in a more
astounding situation than was supposed.
BY what authority the President with
out the authority of Congress sent an
agent not confirmed by the same to
Hawaii accredited to a government
recognized by the United States to en-
deavor to induce a subject of that gov
ernment; to wit, the ex-Queen, to set up
a rebellious government which in it.
self was practically an act of war on that
recognized government. should like to
have some explanation
Mr.. Boutelle said: The message and
instructions more than sustained the
most extreme suspicion of the public in
regard to their extraordinary character.
1t is difficult to conceive now it could
be possible for the Executive, under
our form of government, to formulate q
policy of procedure in regard to a foreign
government fully recognized by our own
and other governments of the world that
could be more fagrantly and amazingly
in violation of the plainest requirements
of the constitution.

A SUMMER COLONY LOST.
Doubt as to Whether 1t Is in Readfleld

Winthrop. December 1s.-Winthrop,
Readfeld and adjoining towns are at va
rance oyer the ownership of Craig's
Point, projecting into Lake Maranocook
opposite the grounds of the Maine Cen
trail. Readield claimed it and sold it to
Boston parties some time ago. A sum-
mer colony has been established and
thousands expended until there is valua-
BILE taxable property on the point. A re-
cent survey showed it to be part of
Winthrop. To this, Readfeld takes
issue. Probably it will require legisla-
tive action to determine the question.

Light in Darkness.

Pittsfeld, Mass, December 1e.-By
the resumption of work at the Richmond
Iron Company's Shaker ore beds this
morning, large number of miners and
their families were saved from destitu-
ton, if not starvation. Superintendent
John Colbert secured reduction of 6
per cent in royalties and per cent in
freights, and cut his own salary s25 a
month. By reducing wages 10 per cent
he was able to start work at profit of I
cents ton on the ore mined. Since the
mines closed in August the men have
been allowed to occupy their houses
without paying rent and now the compa-
ny has reduced the rent $1.5O month.

MESSAGE IN DETAIL.
The Te xt of the Document Transmitted
to Congress.

~
to Congress.
The text of the message is as fol
lows:
Message to the Senate and House of
Representatives: In my recent annual
message to the Congress briefly referred
to our relations with Hawaii and ex.
pr essed the intention transmi tine
further information on the subject when
additional advices permitted.
Though l am not able now to report a
definite change in the actual situation,
| am convinced that the difficulties late
ly created both here and in Hawaii,
now standing in the way of, solution
through executive action of the problem
presented, render it proper and expedient
that the matter should be referred to the
broader authority and discretion of Con-
gress with full explanation of the en-
deavor thus far made to deal with the
emergency and a statement of the con-
siderations which have governed my
action.
l suppose that right and justice should
determine the path to be followed in
treating this subject. If :national
honesty is to be disregarded ana a desire
for territorial extension or dissatisfaction
with form OF government not our own
ought to regulate our conduct, | have
entirely Inexperienced the mission and
character of our government and the be-
havior which the conscience of our
people demands of their public servants
When the present administration en-
tered upon its duties the Senate had
under consideration a treaty providing
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to the territory of the United
States Surely under our constitution
and laws the enlargement of our limits
is manifestation of the highest at
tribute of sovereignty, and if entered
upon as an executive act all things re-
lating to the transaction should be
clear and free from suspicion.
Additional Importance attaches to this
particular treaty of annexation because
1t contemplated departure from an un-
broken American tradition in providing
for the addition to our territory of
islands of the sea more than 20O0 miles
removed from our nearest coast.

Washington, December 1S.-In the
Senate, today, at the close of the reading
of the papers accom- panying the Presi-
dents message, Mr.. Hoar, Republican,
OF Massachusetts,, moved to refer the
message and the accompanying docu-
ments to the committee on foreign re-
lations. He expressed the wish that
the motion might lay over that he might
speak upon it. This was done.
Mr.. Morgan, Democrat, of Alabama.
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, offered an important bill. hav-
ing an apparent bearing on the Hawaiian
situation which, at the request of Mr..
Frye, was read for information before it
was referred to Mr.. Morgan's committee.
The bill provides that whenever the
United States shall acquire dominion ov-
er any foreign country by annexation,
cession or otherwise, the President of
the United States may appoint govern
or and council of five, whose acts shall be
subject to the revision of Congress, such
governor and council to form provis-
ional government of such community.
Mr.. Morgan also offered a joint resolu-
tion for the appointment of acommittee of
three senators and three members of the
House on the Nicaragua canal. This
was referred to the committee on contin-
gent expenses.
