The Alice B., which had been under char

While Captain Isaac Dunbar was making
Carvers harbor with the yacht Sasin in the

his course and ran ashore on the back side
OF Lanes Island. The captain soon made
known his predlcament and many helping
hands rendered timely assistance. At the
rise of the tide the Sasin floated with but
slight damage, the heavy lead keel being a
little the worse off from contact with the

To the Farmers Of, Waldo Co.:

The time is near at hand when the new
crop of hay will be ready for market, and it
is essentially necessary that the same should
be pressed III such manner as to command
the highest market price. This can best be
accomplished by using a Dedrck Column
bian Press, three of which are now ready to
start in the vicinity of Belfast HAY put up
by these presses is sought for and acknowl-
edged by all dealers to bring higher prices
than the same quality of hay put up by other
presses: From twelve to thirteen tons of
Dedrick pressed hay can be loaded in a
common box car at a saving in freight of 80
per cent. to the shippers and 20 per cent.
more hay can be pressed in a given time
than with the old style presses.
These presses are being introduced and
placed within the reach of the farmers at
considerable expen by the owners and we
ask the farmers of Belfast and vicinity to
cooperate with us in this matter and make
the standard of Waldo county hay equal in
preparation to that Of any section of the
country from which hay is shipped.
The !Dedrickl presses will be managed by
Freeman Ellis & Sons, South Brooks; Her
bert Hamlin, South Brooks, and Charles
Barnes of Waldo. Communications to any
of the above parties will receive prompt at
tenti0n.

and the framing Of the treaty-is
with the executive. The senate
has no part in the matter until
the president communicates the
treaty to it, and asks its concur
renee. 1t may then, however.
either concur or reject, or concur
with amendments. - When the
executive has agreed with any
foreign power upon treaty, and
1t has been duly signed by the
plenipotentiaries for their repec-
tive governments 1t is sent to the
senate for its concurrence, and Is
considered there in secret session.
Whatever may be said as to the
wisdom or necessity OF secret SEES
sions for other purposes it is mani
testify necessary that the terms
Of treaties, and the discussion of
them, should in many cases be
kept in the concluding them, I'M
til they are concluded.
Though all the attempts in the
constitution convention to give the
house of representatives a part in
the making of treaties failed, 1t is
still true that many important
treaty stipulstions depend for
their execution upon the action OF
the house. II treaty stipulates
for the payments Of money by the
United States, the money cannot be
taken from the treasury without
an appropriation. 1t may be said
that as treaty is a part OF the
supreme law Of the land 1t is the
duty Of congress to appropriate
the money necessary to carry ii
into effect; and that in the max
ing OF the appropriation the house
has no right to consider the ques,
ton OF the value or propriety OF
the treaty. But,sll the same, if the
appropriation is not made the
treaty fails. - Usually appro-
priations to carry out a treaty
have been given freely by house
but there is power to withhold
them, and so to defeat the treaty.
AS to treaties involving our
revenue laws, the house-having
by the constitution the sole power
to originate revenue bills-has
the right to act upon a considera-
ton OF the wisdom or unwisdom
OF the treaty"
