THE CHANGE COMPLETE.
TWenty-eight Republicans Where Sat
TWenty-eight Democrats.
INAUGURATION DAWN BIDDEFORD
THE REDEEMED.

Mayor Hamilton's Predicament-He Has
Not Yet Been Able to FathomI.the
Democratic Financial Statements-In
Other Cities-Mayor Wakefield Opposes
New City Hall, and Mayor Beal, Who
is Hold Over, Wants New Bridge.
Especial to the Press.l
Biddeford, March 19.-The Biddeford
ring has turned the reins of government
over to Mayor Hamilton and the new Re-
publican city council, who assumed office
today. 1t was radical change. The 2S
members of the outgoing board were
Democrats, while the 2s members of the
new board are Republicans. The inau-
gural took place upon the stage OF City
Hall, as the council room would not be-
gin to hold the crowd that wished to see
it. Mayor Hamilton's address was re-
ceived with applause. AS it has been
impossible for good many years under
ring rule to get sight of the city books,
he could not give any idea of the finances
of the city, a queer predicament for
new mayor to find himself in. He rec
commended an immediate and thorough
examination of the books. In his ad-
dress he laid particular stress on the
need of honesty in every department.
Biddeford's pauper department has OF
late years made big drain upon the city
treasury, and many are the stories told
of the way it has been conducted. May
or Hamilton recommended that instead
of supporting SO many in idleness during
these dull times, all who were unem-
ployed be set at work building new
streets in the outskirts of the city. Many
new streets, he said, were badly needed,
and the poor could thus be employed,
the city built up and its valuation in
creased by the same means.
the bill for which was SO severely criti-
cized by Democrats when passed by the
last legislature, he said: ''It would not
be just, at this time, to pass without ex-
pressing our gratitude to our state legis-
lature for coming to the rescue of good
order and good morals by giving us the
police commission. There is no law
loving and law-abiding citizen but has
reason to be truly gratified for this
wholesome change. If there could be
such thing as a doubt in the mind of
any respectable man as to the wisdom of
the bill, it was dispelled by the riot in
this city election day. If there is any
one thing more than another thatrespect-
able people look to to raise the fair fame
of our city to the proud place she de-
serves among her sister cities of this
state it is the police commission"
As the Republicans have not been in
control here before for II years, it was
natural that there should be a rush for
the Offices. There was. The Democrats
predicted trouble and split in the par
ty, but caucus settled everything, the
offices have been fairly divided and the
party is stronger now than ever before.
At the meeting of the city council to-
night, the city treasurer was authorized
to pay all the acquisitions that have been
drawn by the police commission. Ever
since July, bills in the police department
have been accumulating, the previous
administration having declined to recog-
nize the warrants signed by the commits

Dole's Last Letter Regarding the Implied
Use of Force.


Use of Force.
Washington, March 10. The President,
with brief message, sent to Congress
today additional correspondence between
Minister Willis and President Dole III
Honolulu. The correspondence is main
ly explanatory. Mr.. Willis speaks of it as
I" the final correspondence touching the
attitude of the diplomatic agent of the
United States in regard to the use of
force"
On the 14th of February, Mr.. Willis
informed President Dole that he had
been advised by his government that his
special instructions had "been fully COM
piled with"
On the same day President Dole ad-
dressed letter of explanation to Mr..
Willis in the course of which he says:
at has not been my desire in any of my
letters in this correspondence to charge
the United States with intending to use
force against this government, but
rather to show that the withholding by
the United States of it's intentions on
that point, taken with other circum-
stances more or less expressive of un
friendliness to this government, produced
the unfortunate state of affairs brought
to your attention as reason why such
information should not be longer with
held" Mr.. Dole closes by saying: 81
trust these additional explanations may
and may assist in convincing you of the
good faith of this government and the
absence of unfriendliness on its part in
attributing the disturbed or, ditions of
affairs here, in December, referred to in
this correspondence, to fear and distrust
of your government based upon the cir
cumstances mentioned, feeling which

honest belief by large part of the COM

the United States naval forces was inn

that I never intended to put upon Your
Excellency the sole responsi biIity for the
matters under discussion as the cores
pondence will show, and to assure you
of my sincere appreciation OF the friend:

Washington, March 9. The announce
ment OF the engagement of Miss Hattis
Blaine, third daughter of the late James
G. Blaine, to MIR. TruXton Beale, only son

time very quietly In settling his fathers
estate and looking after his ranch in
California. 1t is understood that Mr..

LABORING WITH GROVER.
Dan Lamont Says Such Pressure Wa'
Never Used Before.
FRIENDS OF THE BLAND BILL ARE
DOING THEIR BEST.

One of Them Says that the Argument He
Presented Greatly Impressed the Presi-
dent-Nothing Yet to Indicate the Pres
ident's Decision Unless Lamont's State
ment MAY Be Regarded as Inspired
from the White House as a Forerunner
of Approval.
Washington. March 19.-Secretary
Lamont was quoted today as saying thas
stronger pressure had been brought to
bear upon the President to sign the
seigniorage bill than was exerted in
favor of any other measure which had
ever come before. him. The Secretary
did not.say what action the President
would take in regard to the bill, and
there is as much speculation regarding
it today as at any time since it's passage
by the Senate. Some of the arguments
made to the President are: First, that
the third section of the Sherman law,
which is still in force directs the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to coin the bullion
in the treasury when necessary to pro-
vide for the retirement of outstanding
notes, and that as a number of these
notes are ready to be retired. the coinage
of the seigniorage is merely. carrying out,
to partial extent, the provisions of
law; second, that another international
convention, looking to the enlarged use
of silver, will certainly be held in Paris
within the next year, that the sentiment
in favor of both gold and silver as
circulating medium is growing abroad,
that the United States has shown it's
belief. in the use Of both metals, and
that, if the seigniorage is coined, it will
emphasizes this belief to all the world;
third, the assurance that if this bill is
signed, no further attempt will be made
att this or the succeeding session of Con-
gress to pass free coinage bill; fourth.
that the bill. if enacted into law, will
tend greatly to the restoration of har-
mony within the Democratic ranks in
the South and West.
These arguments were made to the
President by one of the most conserva-
tive Democrats in the House, and one
who commands the fullest respect of the
President. The gentleman is quoted AS
saying, subsequently, that he was mani
testify impressed by them.
