and which Mr.. Noble had deprecated NHon
the Bangor proposition was under ols-
oussion, should not be considered. lhis
matter should be settled as business proIo-
sition and from he light TO be gained lfoin
the reports of the institution and from
other sources, he argued that the plgsehs
should be built.
MI, Wells of Wells agreed with the gentle-
man from Bangor, that halt must 10
called in the matter of appropriations
Whatever the gentleman might say. the iao'
remains that when the Legislature appropri-
ated the other day S1J0,cO0 for the new Dali
COR hospital it placed burden on the STATE
that prevented the generous trea' gen
which might have otherwise been given 'De
Augusta institution. AS the representatives
of a constituency of farmers. Mr.. Wells ulo
not believe there was necessity OF TINS ooT'o
piggery. ~
Mr. Fair banks in Withdrawing MS 'Aenu-
ment said he was glad that he hao e"lleo
attention to the need of putting stop 10
large appI opriations. Sectional Ieeiihs nau
no, entered into the discussion,and only the
gent ileman from Lewiston, had lntlmateo
any thing OF the kind.
Mr.. Gilbert of Greene, as one who ought
to know something about farming, sup
poi ted the resolve.
The matter then came TO vote. Inc
amendment was voted down and the resolve
passed.
THE AROOSTOOK WAR CLOUD.
The European war cloud just at present
has retired beneath the horizon. but the
Aroostook war cloud is casting dark
shadow over northern Maine, and there are
rumblings which tell of the coming battles
| of oratory. Major General Keegan of the
! Van Buren, forces, say there is likely to be
preliminary skrmsh on Friday. when the
| Arooslook delegation will get into line ana
decide what position TO take in the war
| fare Mr.. keegan has written an appeal 10
President Albert A. Burleigh of the Bangor
and Aroostook to come to his aid. In 1871.
Mr.. Burleigh wrote letter saying that Van
| Buren, was to be the terminus or Inc nne
which was to be built there before branch
ing out in other directions. Now MT.
Keegan, in the letter he is preparing, asks
Mr. Burleigh to appear before the delegation
at the hearing on Friday and tell the MEM
bers OF the circumstances and the under
/ standing that Van Buren, should be made a
pa1 t. of the line. Mr.. Keegan in his letter
says that Mr.. Burleigh should appeal to the
committee .'on bended knees" if necessary,
to carry out the agreement to buili to van
Buren before constructing any branch lines.
If Mr.. Keegan's amendment to the pending
bill is adopted. it will be necessary to build
to Van Buren before the branch from OAK
field to Ashland can be begun. The adop-
tion OF the amendment will cause, according
to Mr.. Keegan's view OF the situation, the
sun of content to dispel the war cloud. But
if this course is not pursued. then formal
declaration of the second Aroostook wal
will be made and General Keegan will
a marshal his forces to secure the rights and
|, liberties of Van Buren,.
