Game in Maine.

The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad
Company which pierces the game region
of northern Maine as well as the more
central, Moosehead Lake region, pub
fishes circular giving the deer, moose
and caribou shipped from different sta
lions on its line for the month of Octo-
Der, viz; deer, 500; moose, 50 caribou,
81. In October of last year the number
of each was, deer, 40; moose, "a; carl
bou, 10. This is large amount of game
for one road to ship out of one state
and could the shipments by other roads
and by other transportation lines be
known and the number of deer
slaughtered and disposed of in the State
they would make an aggregate that
would surprise people.
Mr.. Houghton, the general passenger
agent of the B. & A. says he believes
that next fall will be the greatest hunt
ing season that Maine has ever known.
The new law prohibiting the killing of
a COW moose and permitting the killing
of but two de err and one caribou in the
place of three deer and two caribou, is
the greatest boon to Names game in
terests that could possibly have befallen
them.

The opinion prevails in Washington
that action on the Nicaragua canal will
be one of the first questions pressed on
the attention of the next Congress. The
subject has been canvassed by letter and
otherwise and there is little doubt that
the canal bill will be promptly intro
duced and it is hoped passed. The posi-
ton President Cleveland will take in his
message is matter of much conjecture
but it is expected by prominent mem
beers of his party that he will favor cor
structon of the canal. Further delay in
this great project is not justifiable on the
part of the Legislative and executive
powers Of this nation.

1t is estimated that 250. 900 A-menians
in the ravaged district of Turkey are in a
state of starvation. Minister Terrell ex-
presses the opinion that upwards of
10000 Armenians have been massacred
during the last thirty days and wears
that the worst of the outrages in num-
Der of localities have not been reported.
A traveller who has arrived at Trept
zond from ErZeroum states that when he
was approaching Baiburt he met 300
Armenian women. who knelt before him
and implored protection, declaring that
their husbands, fathers and brothers had
been killt d by the kurds and that there
were no males of their race who could
save them from either dishonor or death.
In spite of the bad financial condition
Of the government, which is now in ar
rears in the pay of the reserves already
called out, it has been decided to sum-
mon more reserves for service. 1t is
doubtful if the government scheme can
be eff cited, owing to the scarcity of
money, but the attempt will be made,
owing to the constant demands of the
powers that the Porte restore order
forthwith.
1t is estimated that during the past
week or ten days, 300 Armenians have
been exled without trial. from Constan-
tinople and the police are still engaged
