THE TAXPAYERS OBJECT.
Because the Company Has Not Taken
Advantage of Its Present Privilege.

The Senate committee on corporations
gave a hearing on the petition for the
amendment of the charter OF the
Narragansett Electric Railway Company
in the Senate chamber today. The
attendance at the hearing was very large,
nearly oil of the prominent residents of
the South counties being present, and the
discussion was OF somewhat heated
character.
The corporation received its charter in
1890, but since that time it had
not taken advantage OF the per-
mission 10 operate street rail-
road. The people long ago objected to
the delay and now that the company has
appeared to ask for permission TO sell
electricity for highway purposes the tax
payers OF the town appeared in force to
speak against the proposed amendment.
Attorney Frank Arnold appeared for
the company, while Hon. Rowland Haz-
ard, Jr., led the opposition which includ-
ed many OF the largest taxpayers in that
section of the State.

BAccALAuREATE. SERMON.
Before the Graduating Glass at Maine
State College.

Orono, June 17.-The paccalaureate address
was delivered this evening at the Town
hall. This was the programmed Anthem
by the choir, reading Scriptures by Rev.
S. L. Bowler, prayer by Rev. N. S. Hill,
anthem, and an address by the president.
The baccalaureate address of Maine State
College was delivered.by President Harris.
The topic was the need of definite aim
in life and his. text the phrase. Whittier
GOeSt Thou: Judges, chapter 10 and verse
II. In his introduction he called attention
to the number of lives that are without any
definite aim, and contrasted the man of pur-
pose with the man without. A plan in life
is not only an inspiration. but az logical
prophesy of success. Nothing is so import
ant to young man as the dedication of
his life to some worthy work, according to
some definite plan, with a holy earnestness.
Such devotion brings success for good
reasons. 1t gives life, force constancy
and persistency, and deveIopes a mans
bodily. and mental power. Keep in work in
which his experience has it's greatest use
and enables him to use every conquered foe,
it enables him in the battle of life to hit
hard, it gives life directness. Most failures
come from vacillation. 1t teaches the figh-
to strike straight; it cultivates skill. In
the days of specialization the men of skill
rule the world; the factory; the market;
the school. ALI call for the man who Is not
only good but good for something. The
practice resu1ting.from constancy. makes a
man strike sure. 1t increases enthusiasm
and enables man to fight fearlessly. How
shall this end be First, to get living
that will free one from the fear of poverty,
next at work of usefulness undertaken not
simply as means of support, but as ser
vice. This work should be selected with
insthesrange of mans abilities in accor-
dance with his tastes andswith devout de-
sire to do the right. To reach this end a
man must Ike the most of his own powers
and cultivate carfully the. opportunities of
his circumstances and must get holy sense
of the divine under standing.
The benediction was by Rev. W. F.
Holmes.

STOPPED LEAK WlTHiFLouR.
The Steamer Etheo Arrives iu Damege d
Condition.

Glasgow. June SlTG-TAe steamer Etheo
arrived from New Yorkd~ She collided with
an ice berg in the Atlanttc and stove hole
in her bow above the4watsr line. She struck
the berg in dense fog. Everybody stand
ing was thrown to the floor and the captain
ordered the boats lowered. The excited
passengers crowded up to the deck and the
pumps were tried, but no water was found.
The order for boats was countermanded
and something like confidence was restored
among the passengers. Soon the fog lifted,
and as there was little sea the crew were
able to work to advantage in making tenn
porary repairs. A wall of bags of flour was
built up near the bow. When the flour be-
come thoroughly saturated it was almost as
hard and unyielding as cement. The crew
worked two days shifting the cargo aft to
lift the broken part of the bow above the
water. She put ahead after the worst
damaged portions of the bow had partially
been closed and braced. The passengers
were sosspleased with the work of the crew
that they subscribed SsTo for the sailors.

natives, and unfortunate internescene
warsare maintained wholly in this. manner
While the conflicts between small parties
of natives, are of frequent occurrence,
little life is lost in the trobuies that
have SO far happened some distance from
Apia. A letter from a prominent Brit
ish resident of the islands says the poll
cy of Germany in regard to the islands
is apparent. Local laws render it impossi-
bic for any foreigner to take the land al
ready occupied by the natives, and un-
der the tripartite agreement the Germans
cannot force the Samoans to give up the
land. The Germans are interested in in
creasing their acreage of sugar. indigo,
coffee and cotton, and the native Samoan
will not labor, and the German plant
ers have to get laborers from other ISL
ands and through these laborers the
ammunition reaches the Samoans. Petty
quarrels are stirred amongst the Samo-
ans are encouraged to gradually EXTERN
mate each other. Cntil the American
andfBritish planters becomes numerous
as the Germans there is little or no lik-
lihood that the general absorption oflall
good lands of the islands by the Ger
mansAwill be curtailed. The compiica-
tion into which the United States has
been drawn seems profitless to this writ
er and he conIesses that even Great Brit
ain has little or nothing to gain by con-
tinuing the triple agreement.

sive Was to Have Been the Agent Used.
Washington, June 1.-THE Post, tomor-
row, will publish an exposure of plot
which had for its object the destruction of
the Capitol. and perhaps other government
buildings. According to the story, the plot
was formed at the time the Coxey army
was marching to the capital. The prime
mover was Honor Jaxon, who came from
Chicago, and is still here. He is a half
breed, and was one of the Louis Riels ilieu-
tenantsin the Canadian rebellion some
years ago.
After Jaxon's arrival here letters were re-
ceived by the secret service officers and
Capitol officials stating band of anar-
chists were being organized in Washington.
The anarchists have committed no act SO
far in Washington upon which they could
be convicted, and this has prevented their
arrest. The formula for the making of a
new and dangerous explosive, which the
consplrators propose to use, says the Post,
was discovered by a detective, and the
police took the formula to chemist. He
made up small sample and placed it on
the window sill in the sun. Soon there was
an explosion. Not great deal of noise ac-
companied. the explosion, but terrific con-
cussion and nauseating and binding smoke.
The cat died in a few seconds from the
effects of the vapor.s An occasi on for using
the explosive the anarchists hope, it is said,
will occur on the arrival of Frye's Indus
trials now in the Cumberland valley.
