THE POLES WILL GO IN.
But Collector Deering Was Prepared to
Protect the Government.

The other day Collector behring's at
tention was called to the fact that. the
contractors who are placing the poles for
the electric railway on Commercial street
had cut through the stone tagging of the
sidewalk in front of the Custom house to
make holes to put the poles in Consider
ing it his duty to protect the government,
if the sidewalks were the property of
Uncle Sam, he ordered the work stopped
until he could inform himself of the
governments rights.
Yesterday Assistant Bradbury of the
Board of Public Works made a survey of
the walks on both Pearl and Commercial
streets at the Custom house. 1t appears
that the city owns a width of fifty feet on
Pearl and one hundred feet on CONNER
cial street and by the survey it was shown
that the city and not the United States
owns the sidewalks. Upon being satisfied
of the city's rights in the matter the Col
lector of course withdrew all objections
and the poles will go in.

HARBOR NEWS.

The steam yacht season is at it's height
now and nearly every day one or more of
the beautiful pleasure boats steam swiftly
up the harbor, drop anchor and announce
their arrival with cannon shot. Yester-
day afternoon the Viking and Vesta, OF
New York, a black and white yacht
respectively arrived.
The tugboat Grape Shot, George God
frey, owner, returned yesterday. After
looking for work in vain at Boothbay,
her owner took her to Clark's Island,
where he got some towing. The captain,
however. collected the amount of the bills
and skipped, leaving the Grape Shots
treasury as empty as ever. Her owner
returned here discouraged and wishes to
sell the old craft. She was built in the
fifties and repaired in 1879
The fleet of porgie steamers now cruis-
ing i'll the bay struck large schools of fish
off Great Diamond Island yesterday and
made large catches
The fire boat with Alderman Little on
board made trial of the pump yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of testing it's
working condition. 1t is desirable that
the pump should be used occasionally
TO keep the bearings in good condition,
SO that in case of need. it might be used
long time at high speed and not get
heated The fire boat made fast to the
end of Browns wharf and the pump sent
the great beautiful stream across the dock
for long time Engineer French found
everything in excellent working order.
Mr. Peters's catamaran that he is now
building on the South Portland shore is
rapidly nearing completion. The two
long narrow boats, or floats, are all made
and decked, and are being painted and
prepared for the water. The prows are
very narrow and graceful, with a very
long upward slope like those of the latest
models of sailing yachts. On the decks
of the boats are heavy blocks of wood
through which the beams will be inserted
that will support the framework that is
to..hold the two boats together. The dis
tance between them will be eighteen feet
from the outside. The catamaran will be
sloop rigged Each boat will have a
centre board and rudder. If everything
works right this large catamaran with its
thirty five foot boats ought to distance
any steamer in the harbor in a good
wind. Mr.. Peters made a twelve or
fifteen foot catamaran some twelve years
ago. The size of the present craft is not
unusual. There have been fftyfoot
catamarans, but they are too long to
| work we'll Those of thirty five or forty
feet are the best length.

Letter from Col. F. Il. Boothby to the
Board of Trade.


This correspondence explains itself:
1 have just received the following COM
munication from Mr.. Boothby, and
coming as it does unsolicited from an
official of the Maine Central railroad
company, of the prominence and thorough
knowledge of the correct situation of
affairs, such as Mr. Boothby possesses,
his correspondence is highly appreciated,
and it will be greatifying to ali the mem
bers of this board, as we'll as to the
citizens generally, and to the officers and
members of the American Institute if
you will give publicity to the same
through the columns of your paper.
Very respectfully,
NJ. N. RICH, Secretary
"A Offices of the Maine Central R. R. Co.
Portland, Maine, July 18th. 1895.
Portland Board of Trade, Portland, Me:
Gentlemen-As a representative of one
of the transportation lines centering in
Portland want to say to your Board
that l consider that they are entitled to
the thanks of this community for the ex-
cellent manner in which they provided
for the comfort of the people attending
the American Institute of Instruction,
whose meetings in this city have just
closed. And certainly it was no fault of
the Board that the attendance was not
what was anticipated and, as for that
matter, l can testify myself that the
managers of the Institute did not ex-
aggerate the number that have usually
attended, and it was President Stetson' s
idea that the teachers throughout the
State of Maine would come in such large
numbers as to swell the attendance above
the usual figures, and if they did not, of
course, it was not the fault of anyone
connected with the enterprise. To my
mind the Christian Endeavor Convention
in Boston, proved the more drawing card
To the committee of the Board, who
have spent their time and money in the
entertainment of the visitors, certainly
thanks are due for their untiring exer-
tions.
Yours very truly,
f. E. BOOTHBY,
G. p and T. A.

counter of J. P. Morgan X Co. and buy a bill of foreign exchange at q point a little below the cost uf boxing mp the coin for export, plus the freight and insurance.
 Now the claim is made by the syndicate that. as it prevented so much coin from going across the ocean and becoming for eign coin, that coin which it kept here was really made foreign coin, so far as the effect on the treasury is concerned"
 The Times has this to say:
 Although the present syndicate is freely conceded the right to manage its transac- tions in its own way, its maSterly perform ance having earned the sincere gratitude of bankers and merchants, yesterday s news excited comment and curiosity. F- nal payment for the bonds might have been deferred for from six weeks to three months. It had been expected that the syndicate would import gold to pay for half the bonds. Imports for their purchase have reached only about $l5, zoo, GOO. All other payments, have been made with gold obtained here.
 1t is believed that the syndicate's pub lishcd contract with the government, which expressly provided that gold to pay for one half the bonds should be imported, must have been modified. That this WAS done for good reason is not doubted by those whose view is comprehensive"
