CRUELTY TO SHEEP.
The Old Trouble Started Again at Mon.
hogan.

Some time ago the PRESS published
the report of Mr.. Eben N. Perry, agent
for the society for Prevention of Cruelty,
as to the cruelty practiced by owners OF
sheep on Monhegan island. 1t was
thought that Mr.. Perry's work would re-
suit In cessation of the cruelty.
-Four months ago complaints of the
same tenor as those presented three years
ago were made. Deputy William j.
Dyer went to the island with implicit nr-
ders to thoroughly Investigate. He finds
that there is little done by the inhabi-
tants for the comfort of the sheep. The
building which was ordered constructed
by the agent is not occupied by the
animals as 1t is placed in locality which
is little frequented by them. In fact,
Deputy Dyer reports that q sheep haz
probably never seen the inside of this
building. Lambs born in January, Feb.
| ruary and March, are left to care fol
themselves. Reliable parties told the
deputy that they had counted as many at
one hundred dead sheep last winter.
Skeletons of the animals are lying all
| over the island. Lambs are seen with
their feet frozen off, hobbling about.
Some of the sheep are estimated to be at
least Is years old. In the cold weather
they managed to exist by eating kelp
ana seaweed.
Last winter cargo of fish, frozen and
spoiled. was found thrown on the shore
ana 1t was devouIed to appease the
hunger of the animals. At least forty
sheep have not been sheared for from one
TO three years. The majority of the in.
habltants consider the sheep to be g
nuisance and would like to see the island
rld OF them. There are about $50 sheer
on the place aud portion of them are
not taxed by the assessors. Some of the
people are willing to cooperate for the
rellef OF the animals but others who were
seen are very defiant and go SO far as te
say that the society has no business in.
| terfering with their affairs.
1t was decided to bring the matter to
1ne attentlon of the grand jury Of
Lincoln county. That body has just
risen ana the following named persons
nave been Indicted for cruelty to sheep
Joseph Startling and Mary A. Startling OF
Cumberland, Joseph Startling of South
Portland, Clinton Stevens of Portland,
ana Eilzapeth Startling, Daniel F. Davis
and George L. Stevens of Monh cyan.
they appeared before the Superior court
on Tuesday and pleaded nolo contendere.
Upon payment of the cost of the cases,
the sentences were continued to the
January term on all pledging that they
would remove their sheep from the island
during the next month.

NEW BIDS FOR PRISON COAL
Complaints Decide to Readver-
tise for Bids.

The trouble over the disposition of
the surplus coal at the penitentiary
mines and the letting Of the contracts
foNit is still puzzling the board of pen
itentiary directors Some time ago
when the board advertised for bids for
this coal the bids were questionable and
there were numerous charges made
against the bidders. or one of them at
least. 1T was charged that some of the
bids were made in the interests of a
LeavenWOrth coal company
Yesterday afternoon the board was
in session here and after a vigorous
complaint had been made by delega-
tions from coal miners in Usage and
Leavenworth counties. the board de-
cided to re-advertise for bids
The trouble really began some time
ago when the board was in session at
Lansing and let the contracts for the
peuitentiary coal The bids were so
low that there was a general uprising
among the miners and they came be-
fore the board in this city yesterday.
Chairman Eckert and other members of
the board NJ NJ. Beck of HOltOn and
Lair Dean of Smith Center were here.
They used the Office of the governor
and heard the complaints Of the visit
ing delega atiOns of miners
Nearly all the visitors made speeches
asking that further action be postponed
till arrangements might be made more
equitable than the existing one in so
far as outside mining is concerned
The highest bid for the coal is S110
per ton, and the miners from Usage
claim that if the contract is made at
this figure the result viii be the forcing
down of their prices to that amount
They claim also that this result would
mean Ereat depression in their busi-
ness and q possibility Of stopping their
work altogether.
Chairman Eckert went over to Ian
sing this morning and Director Beck is
at his home in HoltOn. Director Dean
is still here and win remain until Thurs
day when the other directors viii re-
turn and another meeting viii be held

BLAND is THERE.
Goes to Texas In Person to See
To 1t.
That Teller Is Not Endorsed
by Silver Dem Ocrats.
A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT
Gold Men and Silver Men Hold
Two Conventions.
Nearly All Leading Texas Dem
Ocrats Are For Silver.

Austin, Texas. June 23-The Driscol
hotel was last night in receipt of tele-
gram requesting the reservation Of
rooms for Richard P. Bland and a
party of six friends who would be here
in the morning. BANDS friends here
seem to be acquainted with his COM
ing They say the presence Of the Mis-
sourian is all that is necessary to Sc
cure his endorsement and the coming
is probably at their instance
Up to noon Bland had not arrived
but he is expected this afternoon.
Large delegations of Democrats ar
rived today to attend the conventions
to be held respectively by the gold and
silver Democrats. as the representa-
tives of the two wings of the party of
the state. There viii be two conven-
tions. The silver men on the ground
today say they viii make no cOnces-
sions to anyone. The silver men are
under the leadership Of Ex-Governor
Hogg, Governor Culberson and ex-
United States Senator John b Egan,
and Senator Horace Chilson, who will
be the first in order on the Chicago
delegation.
Congressman Bailey is also allied
with this faction and viii doubtless go
as delegate. AS to the matter of in
strucLiOns an effort is being made by
tiOn in the hope that Teller will be in
a position by that time to offer some
propositions looking to fusion, though
many are in favor of straight out in
structiOns for Bland
The gold men, while they have not
the party machinery behind them, are
still sanguine Of success at Chicago,
and say they viii send their delega-
tions to Chicago. headed by George
Clark and Rufus Hardy two gold
standard men and prominent poHti-
clans
Both wings of the Texas Democracy
met in separate session here today at
noon, but outside of perfecting tempOr-
airy organization and the appointment
of the various committees, nothing was
done. Adjournment was had until af-
ternOOn.
A draft of the silver mems platform
was seen this morning by an Associ-
ated Press representative and it de-
clares unequivocally for 16 to 4; against
tariff and is at cross purposes with the
St. Louis platform
At almost every turn the gold men
in caucus last night agreed it would be
best to send a delegation to Chicago to
contest seats and they viii probably do
that.

THROWS Off ALL DISGUISE
Judge Caldwell Says the Republican
Party Has Departed From Its
PrincipIes-

Glenwood Springs. June 23.-Judge
Caldwell presiding judge of the fed
eral court of appeals for the Eighth cir
cult, said today:
THE expected has happened. The
Republican party has thrown off all
disguise; the declaration for the gold
standard is a departure from the faith
Of the founders Of the party. The gold
standard is synonym of mOnopolies
and trusts. Tt means oppression Of the
producers and the masses for the bene-
fit of aggregated capital in all its
forms"
What viii the silver Republicans
do2"
Those who have the courage of their
convictions win do as Senator Teller
has done they will step down and out
of the Republican party
Whom viii they support for presi-
dent?''
Some sound silver man, without re-
gard to his previous politics. Tt is to
be hoped that the silver men Of all
parties viii get together and name a
ticket that all can support.
s'The silver Republicans and many
silver Democrats prefer Senator Teller,
but they are ready to vote for Bland
or any other sound silver man that
may be agreed upon. Two silver can
didates would be a calamity to the
country DO not believe the silver
men viii be embarrassed by that CON
dition of things. / look for an agree
ment between the silver forces, and in
that event the country viii witness the
greatest political revolution it has
ever seen.
There is. Of course, some danger
that the silver Democrats in the Chi
cagO convention may conclude that
they are strong enough to go it alone
If they should do so and nominate a
ticket that the Populists and silver Re
pubhcans would not support then the
silver cause for the present would meet
defeat But I know that many of the
leading and most distinguished men
in the Democratic party are in favor
of a union of the silver forces and
believe that spirit viii animate the
silver Democrats in the Chicago con
ventiCn."

ExcIrEmENr IN MADRID.
It is Believed Armed Intervention is
Near at Hand.

New York. June 23.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The profoundest sensation has been
caused here by the news of the alleged
purpOrt of a. report by United States
Consul General Lee to President
Cleveland on the state of affairs in Gu
ba, which report is said to be on the
way from Havana to Washington.
The effect of the intelligence is diff
cult to exaggerate All classes Of the
community are greatly wrought up,
but the commOtion is especially great
in parliamentary and political circles
The lobbies of the senate We're ex-
tremely animated just before Senator
COmas began an energetic anti-Ameri-
can speech on moving an amendment
to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne asking the govern
ment to anuul all treaties between
Spain and the United States.
The impression is general among
politicians and military men that the
draw Consul General Lees eXequatur
if he really has expressed opinions as
unfavOrable to Spanish rule in Cuba
as credits him with having done.
The minister of the colonies intro
duCed in the cOrtes today a bill authOriz-
ing the government to eXpend in the
war in Cuba as much Of the colonial
and imperial revenues as may be nee
essary to secure success. and also au-
thOrizing it to ne Otiate unlimited
loans or credit
The Madrid Press continues to lay
much stress upon the closer relations
likely to be esta blished between Spain,
France and Russia, when occasion
arises The markedly friendly well
come given to the French fleet in the
ports of north Spain is hailed by Span
iards as a happy omen.

President Cleveland a few days ago to
ask him to approve a bill allowing the

My first impression was that the bin
should be vetoed" said President
Cleveland though for a personal rea-
son, I admit. 7 had an idea that this
proposed road would run into the Burr
farm, near Colesville where 7 have
spent many hours squirrel hunting, but
L am assured that the proposed line is
so for away that it viii not scare off
the squirrels. This may not be consti-
tutional grounds" laughingly added
the president, "and / assure you that
as soon as the bill reaches me 1T VIII

Kansas City. June 3.-Congressman
R w Blue Of Kansas is at the Mid

said, 1T did exactly right. The ticket
is good and so is the platform"
Can you carry Kansas with that
platform if the free silver elements
combine 2'
Certainly, we can. The money QueS-
ton is not the important one, though
the free silverites try to make it So
If we have the proper system of tariff
we have business and good times and
then we have money. The most pros
porous year this country ever had, ac-
cording to Bradstreet's, was 1891 when
we had exactly the same monetary sys-
tenn as now. The trouble is not with
the money. Give us the right kind Of
tariff and sound money and we will
have a gold reserve that everybody
viii know is there and nobody will want
to draw out
