A GOOD SCHEME.
A Movement Among Some Drug Clerks Of the
State to Establish Course Of Lectures.

There is movement among the drug
clerks in some places in the State to estab-
lish course of lectures this fall to begin
little later and run until May. As yet
no definite plans have been decided on,
but the work is fully outlined and the in
structors have been consulted and are in
favor of the movement, so that things at
present look very favorable toward the
establishing of the course.
The plan Is to have a suite Of rooms and
in them have one room fitted up as q
laboratory and another as lecture room
Lectures will be given twice q week and
before each lecture quiz will be given so
that the work of the previous lecture will
be thoroughly understood and an effort
made to have it remembered. Besides the
lectures r1actical work will be given in
the laboratory, so a practical as we'll as a
theoretical knowledge will be gained. A
chemist, doctor, pharmacist and botanist
have been consulted and all have expressed
ulCir WlllluSUeSS W dSSlSb III tlfo WOTh, So
that persons taking up the studies will
gain a fair idea at least of chemistry,
botany, pharmacy, materia medica, micro
scopy and therapeutics.
To the drug clerks this course will be Of
especial benefit, for beginning at the bot
tom of chemistry thorough knowledge
Of the chemicals and uses will be gained
as far as they go in the course. And al
though the first plan was to take in only
the drug clerks, yet as some in other lines
Of business have expressed their desire to
join the class, few outsiders will be
taken In. These are mostly young men
who, not having the value of higher
education, are anxious to know more than
they have gained in the common schools
Such an undertaking would seem to be
one which the drug clerks of this city
could make with profit.

SUMMER TRADE GOOD.
The Talk About the Cold Weather Killing Traf
iic Fabrication.

"The talk about the cold summer
spelling the traffic on tho railroads and
the hotel business at the seaside resorts
is, In my opinion, a fabrication" said an
Augusta commercial traveller, Monday.
He had just returned from a weeks jour
ney over the State.
There are more summer visitors in
Maine this-year, than ever before, es-
pecially at Bar Harbor. At least IL, 600
people are there, nearly every sleeping
room in hotel or cottage being occupied.
The Marlvern, Newport, Louisburg and
St. Savern are all full and the Rodick,
that has been closed for some years, is do
ing good business. At least 5000 of these
Bar Harbor people have come this month.
July was SO cold that the usual number
didn't arrive but they have come In such
crowds In August as to break the record. "
At Old Orchard store keeper told the
Augusta drummer that his trade had been
larger than ever before, and he knew that
the number of visitors exceeded anything
that he had known. The trains are all
crowded and the conductors tell the same
story of unprecedented crowds of summer
visitors, which plainly shows thot Maine
is the mecca for the summer tourists.

Madrid. June 22.-The Madrid press Is
publishing inhammatory statements as
TO the reported demand of the United
States for the settlement OF the Mora
claim The impression apparently is that
Havana Is to be seized and held unless
the Mora claim is paid. The Madrid news
papers say editOrially that President
Cleveland's recent proclamation against
Cuban hl-pusterers III the United States
was 10 be followed by the payment of the
Spanish government OF the Mora claim.
The papers take the position that under
this understanding the United States au-
thOriues Will not exert themselves to
carrying out the presidents proclamation
by SUPPRESSION OF the 1liDpsJerers until
SPAIN mas actually pald the claim. There
Is entire silence on the subject in gov

IN INTRICATE PATHS.
Spanish Soldiers In Search of In
SurGentS.


Havana, June 22.-Three columns
of troops consisting of 1000 men under
Generals Casco and Garcia and Colonel
Navarro. acting in conjunction and ac-
companied by nine guides, have left
Mongolia Songo, marching in the direc-
ton of Gran Piedra in order TO attack
the strong positions occupied by the in
surgents in Sierra Mastra. The coun-
try traVersed by the troops is full of
intricate paths and the soldiers are eX-
periencing much difficulty in pushing
forward. The place in which the in
surgent camp and hospital are located
is thought to be inaccessible.
One hundred insurgents under Basilio
Guerre has been attacked by Colonel
Riso at Aguidalla, near Medios, Santa
Clara. The insurgents disbanded and
left two dead and four wounded on the
field. Troops are being sent from the
province of Santiago de Cuba to the
province of Santa Clara in view of the
increase in the insurgents forces at
Villas Linarez. \ colonel of the Cana

New York, June pa special to the
requirement of official etiquette that
upon resigning, a minister snail give
no hint of sHch intention until it has
first been announced to the queen and
to the house of commons. But there
is practically no doubt that the Rose
berry government, after cabinet coun-
Gil of five hours, determined to resign.
and that Lord Rosebery who had al
ready been commander to dinner at
Windsor. seized the occasion to sur
render his office. 1t is also the Gus
tom of the prime minister to recon-
mend TO her majesty his successor.
Lord Rosebery may name Lord Sails
bury, Mr. Balfour or the Duke of
Devonshire.
1t is etiquette for the queen to send
first for the person named. II it is
Lord Salisbury he may decline and
suggest Mr. Balfour or the Duke of
DevOnshire, vice versa. In the other
case it seems to be the general impress
sion that even the Conservative party
will not again risk a poor premier,
and that MI. Balfour will be chosen.
But either of the three or any other
conservative may decline. Then Lord
Rosebery will retain office and be in
stronger position than before. He
has been defea ted and offers the OPP
position control of the government;
they decline; therefore, they confess
that he has the real majority as repre-
senting the effective lower house.
If a Conservative leader accepts,
there is no real doubt that he will find
a majority, even if small, against him.
He cannot dissolve parliament until
the supplies have been voted and a
liberal majority can prolong the situa-
ton. for months.

THE TRUE STORY.
How Campbell-Bannerm "Deter-
mined" to Resign.

mIneQN TO heSlSns
London, June 22.-The true story of
the determination of the Duke of
Cambridge to resign his place as COM
mander in chief of the British army
announced in the house of commons
yesterday by the secretary of state
for war, Mr.. embellishments
as exclusively cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday afternoon throws new
light upon the subject. There has
long been strong agitation against
the Duke and the government, it ap-
pears, acting on the principle of eXpe-
diency, caused it to be known that it
would materially assist the govern
ment if the duke would offer to resign.
Consequently the duke, not suspecting
that his offer would be accepted, sent
in his paper to the queen, the latter
handed them to the government under
the impression that they would be re-
turned. The government, however,
accepted the papers as a definite res
ignation and Mr.. Campbell-Banner-
mann made the announcemnt to the
house, which was the last thing ex-
pected or desired either by the queen
or by the Duke of Cambridge.
