To the Honorable the Harbor Commi-
si0ners of the City of Portland:

Respectfully represent James p Baxter
7mayor OF the City of Portland, by order Of
the City Council, dated June i, 1896, he is
authorized to petition the Board of Harbor
Commissioners for permission to extend the
solid abutment and fill of Tukey's bridge on
the Portland side fifty feet.
Your petitioner further rel resentS that the
City of Portland is under the necessity of
demonstrating Tukey's bridge with draw
of such width as will make it necessary to
erect a pier similar to that of the Grand
Trunk bridge; that the new bridge will be
iron, with granite piers, that to properly
construct the same it will be desirable to eX-
fifty (50) feet that this abutment with the
removal of the piles of the old bridge will
not diminish the water way OF accelerate
the current.
The Honorable Board of Harbor Commits
sioners is therefore respectfully requested to
give a hearing at their earliest possible con-
venience at which this matter may be IRE
scented.
Dated this nineteenth day of June, A. D.,
1896.
(Signed) JAMES P. BAXTER.

that hearing be appointed for Tuesday,

DISCOVERY OF TONY WELLER.

Plies to the horses, were given the first

Mr.. Lowman was as conscienstious in
his service as Waterman and detective for
Dickens as he is now In his capacity as
elevator man, his recolleotions of the
novelist are none the less not of the most
favorable character. In fact, his relations

tive. While acknowledging the genius
OF his erstwhile patron, he hints at
knowledge of facts in Dickens life that
would shock his present day admirers
inexpressibly to know.
His genius impressed Mr.. Lowman as
a sort of insanity. When Dickens went
out for an evening stroll he usually took
the watohman along as bodyguard.
He was also frequently accompanied by
stenographer. As they reached the
Tanks of the Thames sometimes Dickens
would be seized with perfect frenzy of
ideas. which would pour out as he paced
hurriedly back and forth, the stenograph-
r understanding his duty and following
to take notes as hest he could from this

VILE THERE BE WAR?

The concentration OF British warships
near the Dardanelles strengthens the
belief that unless the Sultan of Turkey
gives satisfactory assurances of his flu
ture dealings with the Christians !esld-
ing within his domain. that there will
be war, and that Lord Salisbury is pre-
pairing for the inevitable. The opinion
prevails that Grelt Britain will strike
the blow at an early day. and that one
of the reasons why action has been de-
layed so long Is because the Government
does not wish to proceed while the Gear
is on English soil. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Gar and Czarina are on
visit to Queen Victoria, and out Of
respec, to their presence In England
Salisbury has stad his hand.
Should England attack Turkey there
is little doubt that she will have Russia
to fight also. A Russian general has
been inspecting the Qualifications Of the
Dardanelles for some time, and a
Russian fleet is being gathered in the
Black Sea
These facts lead to the opinion that the
Muskorite is preparing for what he be-
iieves is to come.as come It will sooner or
later, and no man outside of the Sails
bury cabinet can tell how soon.

election would demoralize business

That every branch Of trade and industry
would be ruined. This, Of course. no.
BODY believed. but still it suited the Re.

However. there is no truth in such as.
sertions as the following from the
PHILADELPHIA Record attests:

ands OF iron workers came reports

fhe concerted movement to cur

safely predicted that none of the

occasion TO suspend operations

The possibility OF Bryan's election will

claimed. and the above is one of the
evidences of it. The philadelphia Re.

THE PEOPLE AROUSED.

1t Is gratifying to hear the Richmond
DISPATCH speak so confidently of the
election OF Mr.. Bryan as 1t did on Tues.
dav last. 1t said:
THE Democratic orators might
quit speaking and go home, and yet
BRYAN would be elected President
Of the United States on the Sd Of
November next. AS we have said
heretofore. the people are aroused as
we have never seen them aroused
before. and are doing their own
speaking. their own thinking, and
their own talking. How is It posi-
BILE for Mckinley to get a majority
Of the electors OF President? Where
will they come from? From no
where. The people are on the Bry-
an side. and will let that fact be
known on election day. We are not
