ST. JOHNS DAY.
Portland Commandery Celebrated the Day
by Going to the IslandL to Drill.

Yesterday was St Johns day, and the
Masons celebrated it in an approp riate
manner.
Portland Commandery, K T., went
to Great Diamond island by special
steamer in the morning, having secured
the use of the Portland club house. A
hot game of ball was quickly under way
and some marvellous runs and strikes
were made while occasionally the um
pire was obliged to flee for his life. The
game continued with various Interrupt
tions all day, and the final score was said
to be IS to 1S which will, perhaps, do
asAwell as any. The star base running
of DR.. Vose, the gobbling of sky scrap
pers by Sir Knight Fred Bickford and
the wild and erTatic pitching of Sir
Knight Harmon Crocker are some of the
features that deserve mention. The game
reminded one of national league con-
test-it was so different.
Dinner was served in the long dining
hall and then an hour was given to drill
and some seventy five Sir knights were
in line. A fragment of Chandler's band
fortunately containing the only VIM. E.
Chandler, was present and furnished in
spring music for the marching This
is in view of the proposed visit of the
Commandery to the triennial conclave at
Boston, when the Portland detachment
intend to do their prettiest. The wealth
er was just right and altogether it was
one of the most successful field days
ever enjoyed by the Commandery.

all her competitors for the cup offered
by Lord Iveagh, but was subsequently
disqualified for not sailing the race IN

ditions, she having more hands on board
than she carries while cruising. The
disqualification led to Mr.. Palmer chal-

NAyleAqIoN OF TIE LOIRE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A, 1S95.--The ma
ritirne canal of The Lower Loire, says
Consul Bennett at Nantes, France in a
report to the State Department. has
greatly improved the condition of nayi-
cation OF that river from ST Nazaire to
Nantes and increased the commerce of
the latter port which was rapidly disap-
pearing on account of the difficulties en-
countered in navigating the. river. The
canal is nine and one-haf miles long and
cuts off a most Objectionable bend in the
river. It was begun in 1882 and completed
in 1892 a.
IN 1898. the first full year the canal was
operated, 595 vessels, having a registered
tonnage of 2Gs.313, passed through it and
in 1894 the number increased to Sal. with
a registered tonnage OF 249,554 In the first
five and one-half months of 1885, 346 YES
sells of 1856 207 registered tonnage used the
canal. Vessels drawing q feet of water
can navigate the canal and H. r. Ray
of New York, Captain of the bark Evfe
]. Ray. which draws 20 feet OF water, has
testified by letter to Consul Bennett his
appreciation Of the satisfactory condition
The increasing prosperity of Nantes is
shown by the fact that in four years
the total steam traffic of the port in
creased 43 per cent. in the number of YES
sells and "a per cent. in the average tom

KU-CHENG COMMITS
SION,

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA, 1S95.--A ca
blegram received at the State Depart
ment today from ]. Courtney ltixon,
United States Consul at Foo-Chow. re-
ports the departure from that place Of
the mixed British and American Com
mission to investigate the Ku-Cheng
massacre. Mr.. Hixon Is member OF
the commission. and is accompanied by
Ensign Waldo Evans of the Detroit, as
the other American representative.
The recognition of the joint commits
sion as an official body whose conclu-
sions shall be binding has not been ac-
corded by the United States. Such au-
thorization could not be given by Min
lister DENLY, but by the Secretary of
State or the President only. 1t Is said
at the State Department that, Mr.. Den,
made ali arrangements respecting the
commission without explicit directions
from Acting Secretary Adee as to how
ly The State Department has 10
knowledge, and will leave 1t to the dis
cretion OF, the American representativMes yes
whether they will Join with the British
officials in making the same report TO
both governments.
AS the conclusions reached and the re-
will not be binding on this government,
it is not matter of concern whether the
commissioners agree or not. Whatever
they report. whether jointly or separate
ly, will not interfere with negotiations
between Great Britain and the United
States as to what course shall be. pur-
sued If both nations think it desirable
to make joint protest or demand. AS
matters stand at present, the Washing
ton Government is free to do what It
pleases: to proceed separately in re-
lation to its overtures to the Chinese
Government or to act in consort With
Great Britain in the premises.
Consul Reid at Tien Tsin cabled the
State Department today that there was
cholera at Tien Tsin and Cheefoo. This
information may have bearing on the
Chinese trouble, because the United
States flagship Baltimore has gone to
Cheefoo in order that Admiral Carpenter
may be in close telegraphic communica-
ton with Minister DENLY. The Navy De-
partment is exceedingly careful about al
lowing any naval vessel to remain in
an unhealthy port. and the Baltimore
and the. gunboat Machias. which is also
at Cheefoo. may be compelled to go else
