TO TRY THE ERICSSON.
Difficulty Experienced in Laying Out
the Course.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The officers Of
the navy department are having some
difficulty in laying out the course in
Long Island Sound for the trial Of the
torpedo boat, Ericsson. There have
been several consultations between Ad-
miral Ramsey and the bureau chiefs,
but as yet no plan has been entirely de-
cided on. The trouble is the ship is so
small and the time two hours is so
short, that it IS difficult to anchor
buoys so that a distance Of two miles
can be accurately measured. The
Ericsson must make twenty-four knots
an hour or she will be rejected. The
contractors insist that the trial must
take place in deep water. The navy
department cannot obstruct the sound

i Bangor, Me, Sept. 1O.-The greatest
audience ever assembled in Dorchester
county at political meeting assembled
here Saturday to listen 20 Governor
Mckinley, of Ohio. Every seat in the
hall was occupied. Hundreds We're
obliged to stand and thousand We're

with enthusiastic manifestations of
approval.
Governor Mckinley prefaced his ad-
dress with warm tribute to James G.
Blaine, and Hannibal Hamlin. Continu-
ing he Said:"The democratic pres dent
and democratic congress have been
running the government eighteen
months, during which time little else
has been running. Industry has prac-
dcally stopped. Labor finds little en-
plOyment and when it is employed il
IS at greatly reduced wages. The gov
eminent has suffered IN revenues and
the people in incomes. There has been
no cessation in the waste of wealth
and wages. No cententment, bright
ness or hope has anywhere appeared
congress disappointed the people

fided to it, excited distrust and disgust
among its constituents and impaired
investments. The members quarrelIed
and compromised and upon their own
testimony have been compromised

a law which all factions of the demo-
cratic party agreed is the work OF a

plauSe Of his cOnfederates held con-

the house was SO thoroughly ashamed
that 1t no sooner passed the bill than
1t made haste to amend it by passing
supplementary acts which put sugar

Wire on the free list. A

its passage by the greatest leader III
the democratic party, the senior sena-
tor from New York, as a violation of
democratic pledges and principles and

head of the government as such an act

it so. Its members have so declared

least, and for two years longer unless
the people in the congressional cleo
tons this year make the house repub-
lican, in which event no further wreck

with the labor of our people can occur
during the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. What will the ver-
dict be?'
After his speech in the city, Governor
Mckinley addressed an overlooking
meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A hall.
Congressman Boutelle also made a
speech.

One end of the course may be marked
by the light houses, but this is impos-
sible at the other end. Ii is probable
that the buoyS will be anchored by sew
eral chains in order that they may not
be displaced by the tides movement.
If the Ericsson should make 2414
knots she will earn the premium of
S2,500and $1,000 for each additional
quarter OF a knot. The contractors
insist upon an accurate course in deep
water so that she can make the fast
est possible speed.

Painters and Decorators of America"
We're filed today with the secretary of
state. The objects of this organization
are given as being for mutual protec-
ton and benefit and to aid members
to become more sl1illful and efficient
workers. The general office and head
quarters will be at Lafayette. and the
directors, whose names follow, all live
lin this city
John w. Mckinney, C. W. Pritchard,
John L. Riffenberricll, Frank E. Hy-
lander, Joseph Recks, Joseph H. Ell
.dred.
The organization of this association
grows out Of the differences in the
Painters and Decorators union of
America. By a special convocation the
convention met on Monday of this
week at Cleveland, and the previous
convention held at Buffalo was declared
irregular, because of a lack of suf1i
cient number of delegates.
j. w. Mckinney, the Buffalo conven-
ton selection for general secretary and
treasurer, was voted out of office, and
this has caused many of the western
unions to regard the Cleyeland assem-
bly, as illegal.
