CATHOLICS AFTER HoKE.
They Have a Grievance Against the
Interior Department.

May Ask Congress to Investigate the Sec
retary's Dealings with Indian Affairs
Mons. Stephan's Statement.
Washington, October "A newspaper
here says the Catholic Arohb ishops in a
secret session will discuss the expedlency
and propriety of arraigniDg Secretary
Hoke Smith of the Interior Department
upon complaint of Mons. Stephan head
of the Catholic indian missions, for I'M
lust discrimination in the administration
Of Indian affairs. The special grievance
of which Mons. Stephan complains, is
the treatment Of over 200 of the Nez Perez
tribe who he asserts have been deprived
OF allotments, solely because they were
Catholics, and members of one of the
bureau missions A long correspondence
ON the subject, alleged to have passed be-
tween the mission bureau and President
and Secretary Smith, is quoted by the
newspaper as consequence of which the
Monsigneur determined to fight the
Secretary. If the church dignitaries ap-
prove his plan, charges will be preferred
against the Secretary's management and
Congress be asked to investigate them.
Besides this, the article g.says body of
church members will be organized to
support at the polls the demands of the
mission. Heretofore when we have been
attacked Mons Stephan is quoted as
saying. ''our priests have been practically
prohibited from seeking relief through
any political agency, Hereafter, I hope
this reticcnce Of Catholics will be
changed, and we will stand mp as an or
ganization for our rights under the Con-
stitution. From now those who wtlfully
disregard to accord us equal privileges
with other religious bodies, in this
country will have to answer for such to
the voters. The history of our Catholic
missions is reproaoh to the dealings OF
| this government
Neither Secretary Smith or Indian
Commissioner Browning are in the city.
Other officers of the Interior Department
declined to discuss the matter.

EAsTPoRT INDUSTRY CRIPPLED
The Sardine Factory Employees Are All
Out.

Eastport, October 2.-Contrary to ex-
pectation and against the wishes OF many
of the sealers and can-makers, the entire
force of sardine factory employes-with
the exception of j. D. Young's factory,
which does not reduce the wages until
Thursday have left their work in body,
and, refuse to return unless the old
price is allowed. This the manufacturers
refuse, and how the strike, or cut-down
will end it is difficult to tell. There is
one sure fact. All factory owners are firm
in the reduction, and will close for the
season, if the men do not return at once,
at the cut prices. The men have been
given until tonight to decide their fate,
and at that time if they do not consent,
the buildings will be closed:
The Lubec people are working day and
night, putting up fish at saving to the
owners Of 10 cents a case, big profit on
seasons pack.
Quite number have left the city, in
Guiding the Canadians who are satisfied
that they cannot afford to wait for the
end of the strike.

Gorhan.


The usual weather, clear. cold and
windy attended the annual fair of the
Gorham and Standish Farmers Club
Tuesday, October LIST. This fair is run
by some of the best farmers in the two
towns who have made it SO successful
that it has quite local reputation.
They do not pride themselves on running
big show, but they have a first class
one, and this year was no exception. The
attendance was much larger than for
many years. The hall was we'll filled
with exhibits, fruit and vegetables be-
ing especially noticeable. The needle
and fancy work was very fine, but not
as large as last year.
There was good show of cattle and
horses. The fakirs were conspicuous by
their absence, but the dining tent pro-
prietors and peddlers used their lungs
with good effect advertising their bust
ness. Better police arrangements ought
to be made in the future, there being
several scenes not ON the programme. At
10 a. M, the trials of strength took place
feet inches and over, Frank Morrison,
1st;. W. Waterman, I'd. The ladies'
competition race took place at II o'clock.
Mrs Kate Lamb finished first and Mrs
2. H. Hawkes., second. Mrs. Lambs
time was 2.47, beating the best record
made at the County fair.
The interest in the afternoon of course
centered in the races and they proved
very interesting. a The track is not a
Rigby and fast time was not looked for.
Messrs e. M. Wilson, c. f. Swasey
and George Chadbourne were in the
stand. Following is the summary:
