BATH, Me-, Jan. 3O.-A large portion
of the business section of the city was
laid in ruins by tre on Sunday. The
waterworks system proved useless,
there having been big break in the
main pipe Saturday night, and with

BUSINESS is BETTER.
Chicago Merchants Think the Worst IL
Past.


CHICAGO, Jan. 29--The Tribune has
interviewed a number of the leading
business men of Chicago as to their
opinion of the outlook. The views
presented offer the highest authority
in the way of practical opinions on the
subject. They come from men whose
figures are on the pulse of industry,
and who will be among the first to
recognize the signs of approach.
ing activity. There is sufficient
similarity in these opinions to
amount to practical agreement on
some OF the more important points.
Every one is of the opinion that we
have touched the bottom of this de-
preston, and that any future change
must be in the right direction. Most
of them believe that this change has
now started, but none of them look for
any very rapid revival They are prac-
tically unanimous in attributing to the
tariff legislation much of the present
hesitation in business affairs.

Henri Waterson's paper, secon-
ded by a Chicago paper, is mourn
ing the disposition of congress to
legislate for England and the in
clination of the government to
look 10 Great Britain for prece-
dents Here is marvellous swak-

United States dare not sneeze un-
less it knows that Queen Victoria
has taken snuff. 1t dare not en-
ter into q financial obligation, not
even to the extent of signing q
dollar bill, until it is sure that the
people of Lombard street approve
of it. In its relations to Great
Britain there is not much differ.
enoe between India and America.
The principal point of difference
is that if India does not consent
to be raped financially, the Bri-
fish lion will chew her up, while
on the other hand, if the United
States resists, Great Britain will
buy congress, or in some other
way allure our honorable inno-
cents into making internal fools

Cane and Beet Sugar
BOuntieS.

It is but q few years ago, as
years count in tho history OF
trade, since every pound of sugar
used in Europe came from Asia
or from America. The idea of
growing beets and making ner-
charitable sugar from them was
secuted as ridiculous. When wise
rulers the great Napoleon being
first to adopt the plan offered
bounties for sugar thus produced
the theorists ridiculed it as con-
trary to economic law, aud not a
few politicians denounced it as
class legislation, and do SO at the
present time. But the bounties
have proven profitable invest
ments. Continental Europe to-
day not only supplies herself with
sugar but exports many billions OF
pounds. The imports of sugs r from
Europe to this country alone were
near to four billion pounds in the
year 1893. Great Britain impor-
ted still greater quantity. Never
was money more wisely spent
than in fostering the sugar bust
ness of continental Europe.
It should go without the saying
that like policy would have like
result in this country. The boun-
ty system of the Mckinley law
doubled the cane-sugsr product
of Louisiana in the two years of
its operation. It also gave the
beet sugar industry a great impe-
tus. The withdrawal Of the boun-
ties not only greatly lessons the
Louisiana output but will check
the growth of beet-sugar produc-
ton in Iowa, California and Ne
brasks.
There is more at stake in the
far west especially in the semi
arid regions of Nebraska and Kan
sas, than the mere increase of the
sugar output, though that is a
most desirable consummation.
There is the question of develop
ment or abandonment of large
tracts of land. Mr.. Arthur Hansl,
the Nebraska commissioner of i'm
migration. resident in Chicago,
who is q native of one of the Euro
pean beet sugar countries, recent
ly read an able paper on this sub
ject before the Nebraska bankers
convention. Mr.. Hansl dwelt up.
on the fact that the sugar beet

for wheat or for any cereal. Its

PROHIBITION ORATORY.


An Eloquent Temperance Tnlh at tho
Auditorium by Hon. John G. W cooley of
ChicRgU---A Forcciul Argument to u
largo Audience.
The Hon. John g. Woolley of Chi
cage addressed Prohibition meeting at
the Auditorium Thursday. There were
about 1000 people present, and Mr..
Woolley was listened 10 with the closest
attention for about one hour and half.
He has the reputation OF being Que of
the finest orators on the American plat.
form of to-day, and his speech Thurs.
day fully confirmed this opinion. Mr.
Woolley hits slcdge-hammer blows in
such way that no offence can be taken
and his appeals to Christian voters TO
stand against the saloon and saloon
politics are irresistible.
lie gave a touching account of his
own reformation, which occurred about
eight years ago, and said his alliance
with the Prohibition party was because
he wanted the death of the American
salooa--the debaucher of man, and the
insulter of woman. The time has come
when Christian ought to be man.
He said that with the church there is too
much bookkeeping and not enough
actual business; too much dealings in
margins and too little dealings in mer-
chandise delivered at the ballot boxes.
Jesus Christ has overcome the world.
DO you hear that discouraged temper
ance worker? Do you hear that Chris
tians who vote with other parties2 Some
men say the saloon, the brothel, &c, are
necessary evils. There is no such thing
as a necessary evil or else there was no
such thing as the death of Jesus Christ,
who sought to destroy the works of the
devil. Tho saloon is the fortress of the
devil. The business that brings me to
you is to help bring back the temperance
question to the heart of the church.
Mr.. Woolley closed with a word pic
ture of the dawn of u spring morning
on the Pacific coast, which, for ora
torical effect, was simply grand, and
his audience hung spell-bound upon his
words.
The singing Of a quartet composed of
Messrs. j. II. King, A. s. Mowbray, G.
n. Cline and John Todd, with Mrs.
King as accompanies, was fine. They
sang "There is Prohibition Music in the
Air" and other stirring Prohibition
songs.
In the audience were the following
gentlemen Samuel H. Baynard, John

In EVERY EVENING of August Gath
the following editorial note appeared:
The River and Harbor bill, which be-
came law OH Saturday, carries in nppro-
priatinn of SIS 0DD for the further improve
mcnt of the hRrbor of Wilmington. Tho
amount is perhaps inadequate to tho
needs of our colninGrce, bar, judiciously
applied, it will do u great deal of good.
No doubt there was a very general
feeling throughout the city that the
amount appropriated was insufficient
for the proper improvement Of the
Christiana, but this feeling was duo to
lack OF knowledge Of a change in the
original plans, and the great project
contemplated by the last appropriation.
The original project for improving
the Christiana river contemplated
channel 10 feet ut mean low water, and
100 feet wide between the mouth and
Pusey & Jones yard For this work an
estimate of SAT ,634 was made by the
local engineer. But after consultation
with the business men of Wilmington,
whose interests were along the Christi
ana, il was concluded to abandon this
plan Of channel of 10 feet deep, and
try to open the river to depth of from
81 to "a feet. The vessels seeking an
entrance to the river, owing TO the de-
velopment of the trade of the city and
the large ship.building interests, which
are at present unable to compete with
other places, rendered such change
imperative.
If our trade is to have the benefit of
cheap freight rates by water, and our
shipbuilding firms are to meet the new
requirements of commerce, it is abso.
lutely necessary to have channel of
sufficient depth to float a larger class of
vessels.
The plans being changed and the
original estimates increased 50 greatly, u
much larger expenditure will be neces-
sary. For this new work survey was
required, which will cost from So, 900 to
$4,000. Tho balance Of the 5000 APP
preparation is to keep the channel open
until the survey is completed and the
new work commenced. In proportion TO
the estimate this appropriation is also
far above the average of this years
River and llarbor bill.
To the many who have hitherto been
unaware of the change OF plan, or its
Importance to the business interests of
Wilmington, this information will prove
OF great interest.

In the park Mr.. Fougeray rendered
them the use of the tobOggan.slide and
the merry. go-round, while Mr. Pollok,

manufacturer of this city, thinking, it
is supposed, that the boys were getting
dry" treated them TO ice cream, to
which they did ample justice.
Besides the five sisters who accom-.
panied the boys from Delaware City
there were also three sisters Of the same
order from this city, who enjoyed and
needed the outing as much rs any Of

ice cream, and to all those who were il
any way interested in the picnic.

A NorE sHIRPER.
Many Notes Given in Exchange for AL
legged Patent Rights,


CHEsTERrowN, MD, Aug, ga
man who has awakened an unusual
amount Of interest throughout Kent
and the upper part of Queen Aune's
county took hastv leave of the Chester
town jail and OF Kent county yesterday
morning. About two weeks ago w. t.
MCGEE came to the county and con-
tracted with Joseph Guestto become the
manufacturer of combination wire
and picket fence. McGee, who claimed
to represent W. I. MCGEE & Co., Gin
cinnati, Ohio, contracting to furnish all
necessary machinery within 30 days.
Without any agreement or authority
from Guest, as is claimed, McGee
flooded the town and sections Of the
county with circulars bearing no other
name but that of Mr.. Guest. With
these circulars the man worked Kent
and Queen Anne's county farmers most
vigorously, selling district rights TO
handle the fence, and taking their notes
for amounts OF from $125 to $3.50 at six
months. Among the large number Of
persons who gave notes was 5. A, Wal
len. Wallen became suspicious and de-
manded the return of his notes and the
contract of agency, which demand was
refused, McGee stating that he had dis
posed Of the note for consideration to
parties in Centrcyille.
Wallen thereupon had him arrested
and placed in the Chestcrtown jail to
await the action Of the Queen Anne's
authorities. MCGEE finally consented to
surrender the notes and contract and
was released and left town at o'clock
u. m. Since his departure kilograms and
letters from others have been coming in.
II is estimated that farmers in Kent and
Queen Anne's county have given their
notes for possibly severa. thousand
dollars and the notes, it is generally
conceded have been transferred to inno-
cent parties. 1t is expected that another
series of suits similar to those of the
celebrated hulless-oat cases will follow
at the court after the falling due OF the
notes.
