The Suspicious Powers.

The Turkish situation Is continually as
Stunning new phases. The suspicion that
Russia has been fomenting the Armenian
disturbances for purposes of her own Is
now offset by a declaration that Russia
her self believes that England is at the
bottom of certain developments in the COM
pick affair. The British, it is said, are
known to have preponderating influence
in southern Arabia which Is just now the
scene Of the rebellion or a large number of
the sultan's subjects, and Russia appears
to be busily engaged in spreading the belief
that this demonstration is a part of the
London program to annoy the sultan and
precipitate his downfall. With two great
powers regarding each other with Jealous
suspicion the chances for harmonious in
ternational action to reform Turkey are
much reduced. And the worst of it all is
that the sultan himself appears to be wholly
without means to restore confidence among
the powers In his administration of Otto
man affairs, even If he sincerely desires to
reform, which Is doubted with the best Of
reason. He is surrounded by a corrupt, In
efficient set of men as ministers and ad-
visers. and he Is mainly engaged In pre-
serving his life, which is threatened at all
hours by conspirators within his own pal
ace. The apparently contradictory actions
that result In the disgrace of an official to-
day and his re-establshment in favor on
the morrow are the result Of this unsettled,
disjointed state of affairs with the reins Of
government pulled a dozen different direc-
tons at once by as many plotting scountl-
rels who apparently do not see the sword
OF International displeasure that hangs over
their heads, or else have confidence in the
restraining effect of the jealousy that exists
among the powers.

Give your thanks for sunshine;
Give your thanks for rain:
Poverty Is no disgrace,
And pleasure follows pain.
If the turkeys little,
Let's be thankful still.
Maybe II 'twere larger
It would make the family i'll;
Thankful for the old folks
And for children's funny ways
But for grandmas and for babies
We would have no holidays.

DRUGGISTS IN TROUBLE.
Maine Pharmacists Alleged 10 Have Illegally
Dealt in Phenacetine.

Portland, Jan. 20.-During the past
few days officers of the United State:
marshal have been serving writs on promi
nent druggists over all parts of the State
to appear in suits in equity instigated fol
infringement of a patent on pharmaceu
tical product, presumably phenacetine
which is a drug used as a remedy fol
fevers.
In June, 1888, Oskar Hensberg of Bro
men, Germany, secured the exclusive righ1
to sell phenacetine through the Unitet
States for period of II years. Whe1
Hensberg died, in 1889, his assignees dis
posed of the privilege to Edward N. Dick
erson of New York city, who is now tE'
complainant in the suits.
Mr.. Dickerson, through his counsel
Cowan, Dickerson & Brown of New York
prays that the United States circuit court
for the district of Maine may cause the
cases to be heard ON the first Monday o.
February and March. For damages hi
demands in addition to the profits made
by the dealers also the losses sustained by
him.
Prominent druggists have been sum
moned from the following cities and
towns: Portland Bangor, Lewiston
Rockland, Augusta, Belfast, brunswlck
and Skowhegan.

tells much of its story in the following
words:
Built by Boston Bridge Works, Boston,
Mass, 1894. George A. Murchie, mayor
of Calais, Hon. James Mitchell, provincial
secretary for New Brunswick. Hon. H.
r. Emerson, chief commissioner of public
works. Engineers, F. W. Holt of the city
of Calais, A. r. Wetmore for province OF
New Brunswick. Jos. McVey, contractor
for superstructure. F"
The bridge as built consists of two steel
trusses of the Pratt type, so called, the
diagonal tension bars going from the top
of one post to the foot of its neighbor.
The work was begun on the evening OF
July 8, 1894, by beginning excavation for
the Calais pier foundation and the bridge
was practically completed on Jan. 3, 1898.
1t was closed by the substructure con-
tractor only one-half day to teams, and by
the Boston Bridge Works only 1919 days,
including Sundays.
The bridge covers the same length as
the Old one. The bridge proper that is,
the floor supported by steel works. is $50
feet long, 80 feet wide over all, and has a
head run over the floor of IL feet, while
the depth of the trusses of the long span
is 81 feet in the centers of upper and
lower members. The piers are about 20
feet high above the foundation crib and 2S,
80 and "a feet respectively above the bottom
of the river They are all well protected
near the water by rip rack bank that
covers all of the wood work so that 1t is
always wet and should last forever.

Conveyed to Secretary of State Grsshan
of Hawaiian Revolution.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Early Saturday
Secretary of State Gre.ham received for
NAL notice that there had been an attempt
at revolution near Honolulu on the 9TH OF
the month. This notice came in the shape
of the following dispatch from Minister
Willis, telegraphed from San Francisco.
Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. IL, 1895,
Hon. W. Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, Wash
ington, d, c.;
AT Waikiki Beach, five miles from executive
building, night of Jan. 6, uprising of Ha-
waiians, reported several hundred well sup
piled with arms and ammunition Commanded
by Captain Newlein and II. W. Wilcox. Hon.
G, l.. Carter, Lace commissioner, killed first
night. Desultory fighting every day since
without further loss of life or property to gov
ernment.- Three Royalists killed and so taken
prisoners. Over 80 non-comhatants, mostly
whites, arrested, including three ex-attorneys
general and many prominent citizens. Martial
law declared Tan. T. No vessels allowed 70
leave. Other islands reported quiet. Crisis

policy that has so developed your country,
l am confident that all thinking men
will declare that she deserves commenda-
ton and praise.
/ perceive that the cities of Calais and
St. Stephen have steadily advanced in
wealth, population and all that makes
modern life SO enjoyable. You have an
excellent electric railway, electric light
ing, a splendid system of water works,
beautiful streets and splendid residences.
You and your mayor, who has taken the
lead in this great public work, can con-
graduate yourselves that you have not
only conferred great benefit upon the
present residents of Calais, but lasting
blessing for many years to come, to all
who shall dwell in your enterprislng and
beautiful city.
If your growth has not been so rapid as
in some other places it has been steady
and healthy, and we all know that wealth
and numbers are of secondary Importance
in republic. To produce men, intelli-
gent, virtuous, brave and patriotic men,
is vastly more desirable and toward this
great object you are contributing your
share. If there is anything that today is
sapping the foundations of the republic
it is the despotism of great wealth on one
hand and the dependence of the wage
class upon the other
When you shall have direct railroad
communication with the other parts of
the State and with your natural markets,
as you are sure to have in the not distant
future and shall have almost annihilated
the distance that now separates you from
the rest of the State shall have those liy-
ing there your neighbors and bring their
products to your very doors, then with
your future assured you will be able to
confidently assert that the winter of your
discomfort has become glorious summer
by the bright sun of prosperity, and all
the clouds that lowered about your house
are in the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
The above is but an abstract of what Is
conceded to have been very able and in
teresting speech.
After Mr. Powers had ceased speaking,
Mr.. Murchie introduced the Hon. James
Mitchell, provincial secretary, as follows:
now have the honor to present to you
gentleman, who is we'll known to the
people on the st. Croix; one who at all
times has devoted his energies for the
best interests of his province and to
whose efforts we are largely indebted for
the beautiful structure on which we
stand-Thc Honorable James Mitchell,
provincial secretary of New Brunswick.
Mr.. Mitchell was received with ap
plause, and made excellent remarks.
Excellent music was furnished by the
Calais band.
