STUPEND0US FRAUDS
BY the Democrats in Recent Elections in Ala

WAsHrNGToS, Aug. Ex-senator Chapd-

gram from w. II. Skaggs, chairman of the
Republican committee of Alabama:
BIEMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. II, 1894.
Hon. VIM. Il. Chandler, U. S. Senate:
We hope the Senate will pass the resoiu-
tion TO investigate the Alabama election
and appoint committee composed of
Democrats, Republicans and Populists.
We will get petitions of 90 900 citizens of
this state for the appointment of the COM
mittee.
We can furnish conclusive evidence of
the most stupendous frauds ever committed
on the American continent. Dallas county,
Senator Morgan's home, gave 300 major
ity for Oates. We have list of the votes
polled in tba. county in every precinct, and
the total is less than 2000.
Armed deputies were in every precinct
and the bulldozing and intoxication were
without precedent.

FROZEN AND SALT HERRlNGs.
Stringent laws 10 Be Enforced by Both
United States and Newt ioundland.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. l2.-The IN
vestigation now being conducted per order
of the treasury department., by 4. Aubrey
Byrne, special employee of the treasury,
relative TO the importation of frozen and
salt herrings from Newfoundland, has ere
ated quite stir among those engaged in
this traffic.
II Is learned from man engaged in the
Newfoundland herring fisheries, corrobo-
rated by information of u semi-oilicial char
acter, that American vessels in the future
fitting out for New foundland to obtain fares
of fish will do so 1T their peril, il they fail
to conform to all the laws of the
United States bearing upon aud governing
the importation of merchandise from
foreign country. Vessels should clear in
the usual form under register, foreign ward,
aud having secured cargo in Ncwfound-
land, see TO it that the invoice, consular
certificate and bill of lading &C company the
merchandise, with full description thereof
as to quantity and value, that regular entry
may be made of the same at the port of ar
rival in the United States. Otherwise, there
is q strong likelihood that said vessel and
cargo might be imperilled by forfeiture, for
alleged violation of the revenue laws.
1t is learned that the Newfoundland
government has been watching with con-
siderable interest the investigation prose-
cuted by the treasury official of Boston, and
it contemplstes the enforcement OF very
vigorous laws, now enacted, but not pro-
claimed as in force. When these laws are
proclsimed any American vessel obtaining
bait fishes for food, in the waters of New
foundland, will be liable to seizure and for
feiture, if the masters have not procured
Newfoundland fishing license.
1t is further learned that the present gov
ernment of Newfoundland has under con-
siderstion an earnest petition of Newfound-
land fishermen and vessel owners, that the
government pay their exporters of fish to
the United States the amount exacted in
duties upon said fish by the United States,
thus putting Newfoundland shippers of fish
upon the same plane as the American fish
ing vessels owners, who, under existing
practice enjoy free frozen and salt herring
from Newfoundland waters, alleging them
to be "product of American fisheries"
The act above referred to has been with
held from operation by the proclamation of
the Governor awaiting reciprocity between
the United States and Newfoundland. AS
it appears that there is little prospect Of
reciprocity convention being agreed upon
by the two governments the enforcement
of the act is now imminent.

to the steamboat wharf, where, amid the
cheers of the crowd cf citizens who were
there to bid them farewell, the roaring OF
cannon, waving of hats, handkerchiefs,
ETC., the steamer with flags flying from
masts and rigging, steamed away from the
wharf. ..:# -.

BOYS IN BLUE
Are Once Again Tenting on the
Muster Ground.
Over 900 Men Arrived, Saturday,and
Now at Camp CIeaves.
A Quiet Sunday in camp-Ken Orderly and
Well Disciplined.
CAMP CLEAvEs, August u.

The muster of the National Guard
of the State of Maine for 1894
will have, doubtless, several char
acteristic features. There is surely one
Sunday in camp. Today Camp Cleaves
has been scene of animation, but all has
comported with the requirements of Sab
bath in a military camp and the services
connected Herewith were exceedingly ap-
propriate.
The special train from Portland, bringing
eight companies of the lst Regiment and
two of the I'd, arriveda few minutes past
o'clock. Saturday afternoon. Those of the
/ st were lined up by companies previous to
the regimental formation. Quite number
of the officers of the regiments were at the
depot mounted when these arrived. All
the companies of the lst Regiment were
formed in line and marched to the muster
grounds.
The companies from Biddeford, Norway
and Rockland, with the lst Regiment Bri-
gade band came in on the 7.l5 train.
The special train from the East, bringing
the companies, eight in all, of the ID Regi-
ment arrived at 5 P. M. The companies
we're formed in regimental order on Water
street and, headed by the I'd Regiment
band of Lewiston marched to the camp. 10
passing the headquarters salute was given.
Capt. Charles B. Hall of the 10Th U. S
Infantry is here on inspection duty and is
assisted by % Lieut.. Mark L. Hersey Of
the 9th Infantry. 1t was evident from the
remarks of these officers, this afternoon, that
they were much pleased with the disposition
evinced by the men at the outset. While
the camp was without guard, Saturday
night, good order in general prevailed
Some Of those coming in on the evening
train left ranks but on the campground there
was little if any fault to find with the men.
They show disposition to learn and to
make the most from the discipline.
Notwithstanding the troops did not go in
to camp last year, it is evident that the time
intervening has not been misspent. A
proper spirit among officers and men, a
prospect for more efficient organization
under the new regime, and the work done
oy Capt. Hall and Inspector General
Choate the past few months, are to bear
good fruit during this cncampment, unless
all signs fail. Capt. Hall made 22 COM
pany inspections prior to muster. A good
indication of the discipline of the men was
shown by those companies that remained
lnder arms at the depot awaiting the arri
val Of other companies by later trains.
Sunday morning did not dawn as auspici-
5usly as could be desired, and during
greater part of the day the handsome flag at
headquarters indicated that the wind was
blowing strongly from the southeast and
east. Until about 2. NJ, however, the
Eeather was quite pleasant. The wind
then blew up raw and cold, but the
promise of rainy Monday was much less
later.
The number of men in camp, this morn
ing, was unexpectedly large.
