tions, and all for the benefit of the Ca.
nadians. Unless Great Britain will
join this country in making and enforc-
ing effective regulations for the protec.
ton OF the seals after due notice, Mr..
Dingley declared that the United States
should at once kill and secure the en-
tire herd, and to that extent save the
pro perty that belongs to this nation.
This, he said, was the only alternative.
and he introduced bill to carry his
proposition into effect. Great Britain
is familiar with all the facts of Cana
dian operations in Behring Sea, and
she has almost as much financial inter-
est in the preservation of thu seals as
this country, because nearly all the
seal skins are prepared and dyed in
London, giving employment some 5O,-
600 persons in the English capital. Mr..
Dingley is right, and congress should
adopt his plan for settling the seal
question and taking it from the list of
those unsettled issues which have no
mercy for the peace of nations or the
patience of individuals.

THE region around Lake Winnepesaukee,
N. H., was visited by tornado last Thurs
day evening that did much damage. The
path of the gale was nearly 200 feet wide.
Many farm buildings were unroofed, several
barns were demolished and the stock in
them was killed. Several cottages along
the shore also suffered. The extent of the
damage cannot be estimated at this time,
but it will be several thousand dollars

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND sent to con-
gress on Monday message on the
financial condition of the government.
He sets forth facts respecting the en-
barrassments Of the national treasury
which have become matters of familiar
kno wledge during the long and some
what perfervid discussion of the fnan.
cial question in congress and in the
newspapers. The recommendation the
president makes are found in report of
proceedings in congress. The presi-
dent has nothing to say of the one
thing that is needful to accompany any
plan for the relief of the treasury--an
increase of the revenues-except that
this is hardly cure for the trouble. He
does not state that the deficiency in the
revenue since September amounts to
nearly S50,000,000. There is, he says,
now in the treasury, ga comfortable
surplus of more than $4,000, 0O0," but
he has borrowed during the year the
uncomfortable sum of $4,000, 000--
principal and premium. The silver
senators and representatives are in a
frenzy over the message, because of the
recommendation that the bonds shall
be paid in gold, and that customs shall
be collected in gold. The sound money
men in both houses commend the
presidents doctrines, but do not re-
gard his recommendations as practical,
because they cannot be carried out.
Authority to issue gold bonds cannot
be obtained from this congress.

rs cents for the round trip from Portland,
and other places in proportion will
probably call together a large number
Next Sunday an extra train will be run
from Portland and way stations, giving
all an opportunity to attend all the meet
ings through the day, and return in the
early evening. On Thursday the through

turn and themselves give God the glory.

Rev. Stephen Merritt led an overflow
meeting in the grove in the evening, and
stayed there until he was called to the
meeting in the Tabernacle, when his
place was taken by Rev. Walter Russell.

prayed for a continuance of the work of
divine healing begun the previous eve
ming Rev. DR.. Wilson then delivered
powerful revival sermon, his text being,

come for the preaching of the old gospel
warming people that eternal danger will
follow refusal to accept Christ. Dr.
Wilson was followed by Major Whittle,
and Rev. Stephen Merritt Miss Louise

ing effect.

THE MYSTERIOUS VOICE.
Cyclops, etc., But Finally Laid it All to
An Alderman.

For time yesterday the Cushing's
islanders thought they were haunted
From out of the glorious, circumambient
atmosphere of that isle, 1nterrupitng the
wunday quiet, suddenly came stentorian
hail, 81 Boat ahoy, what yacht is that?"
The people rubbed their eyes, looked
around and saw no one. Then they
looked above, thinking their might be q
fleet Of new tangled air ships cruising
over their heads. But there was nothing
above but the Heavenly blue shining
down through the mists. Neighboring
piazzas were inspected for parrots,
nautical tramps were suspected of lying
in wait under the piazzas, and in short
all the resources of conjecture and
timidity were exhausted Then, loud and
distinct out of the circumambient air
yacht is that?"
Then yacht was disco vered passing
out the roads; but the nearest place
whence the hail could Co me was the Cape
shore, more than a mile away The
human voice could not be heard for half
that distance. Yet again resounded in
the ears of the islanders the stentorian
query. "Boat ahoy, what yacht is that?"
was there cyclops loose in Cape Eliza
beth?
By this time the people on the yacht
seemed to be getting excited; and some
sympathetic people who had read of the
mariners proneness to superstisition,
conceived that there must be panic on
the craft. The yachts people made an
effort to answer the mysterious uestion;
but the islanders could not hear the feeble
response.
Finally one or two readers of the
PRESS remembered the description of
the Yacht clubs megaphone, and it was
decided that some one on the Cape shore
had one also. The various eminent citi-
zens who dwell along that shore were
mentally canvassed, and Alderman Smith
was pitched upon as the probable
offender.
Alderman Peters lives on Cushing's
island, and it is suggested that if he can
be induced to buy megaphone, debate
may be arranged on the silver question or
some other issue, that will entirely
eclipse the Horr-Harvey debate.

advices state that President Barrios OF
Guatemala has formed a secret alliance
with Costa Rica, looking to the formation
of the union of all the Central American
States with Guatemala exercising dom
inant influence in the new federation.
The first step in this programme will be
the downfall of the present Bonilla ad-
ministration in Honduras, and the ap-
pointment of Bonilla's successor in the
person Of Marco Soto. This last named
gentleman is favorable to the proposition
and if the present plans are perfected so
