Conference Is Oft.

Berlin, Feb. 11.-In the reichstag to-
day the agrarian leader, Count Won Mir
bach. referring to Prince Hohenlohes S
statement on Saturday in regard to BIZ
metallism, said it was the manner in
which Germany sounded Great Britain
upon the subject Of a conference which
evoked a negative reply from the latter
country. He contended that in order
to arrive a solution of the question:
a preliminary conference which should
include the United States ana France
was necessary.
Prince HohenlOhe replied that Great
Britain had not declined in principle to
take part in the money conference, but
had clearly intimated that the opening
of the Indian mints was not contemplat-
ed In view of this situation, the impe-
rial chancellor continued. no practical
result had been expected from attempts
TO raise the price of silver, and he con-
s1dered it useless to prosecute them.

The New Shoe Factory Project.

The visit of Messrs. Legro and Spalding
to this city Tuesday resulted in considerable
progress in the move for new shoe factory,
and the outlook is decidedly favorable. The
stock subscriptions made on the preliminary
papers are being ratified and in all respects
the business is progressing in business like
way. 1t is expected that the citizens of Bel
fast will take at least SO 900 of the preferred
stock of the company, which stock will re-
ceive at least per cent. from the net earn
ings of the company. Negotiations are now
pending for the purchase of the Dana
building, and there is difference of but a
few hundred dollars between the prices ask
ed and offered. A paper is now in circula-
ton the signers Of which pledge themselves
to use their influence towards securing the
abatement of taxes on a shoe factory or
other manufacturing enterprise. We eX-
pect i'll our next issue to record more mark
ed progress.

That is the Verdict of the Green Noun

are as usual rather slow in coming in but the
count in all sections Of the State shows sub
stantial Republican gains and indicating

State, the nearest approach to it being in

throughout the State and brought out hun

been to the polls for years. Practically the
full Republican vote was cast On the other
hand the lack OF organization in the Demo

The Waldo Republicans can do no better
than to stand by the Waterville leader for
Attorney General, and the general feeling
in this county, so far as The journal is able
to interpret popular sentiment, is that Mr..
Haines has the support Of the leaders and of
the rank and file of tue party. That the
Kennebec candidate is good lawyer no one
doubts. He has long enjoyed the reputa
tion Of being case winner at the Kennebec
bar; and more earnest and hard worker
for the Republican cause cannot be found in
the State.
The manner in which Waterville under
his leadership has been brought out of Dem
ocratic chaos and placed again in the front
ranks of the Republican column, merits the
support for him of every loyal Republican in
the State. The first ten years of that city g
history was dedicated to Democratic mis-
rule, and it was only through the help of the
''Haiues' Registration law" by which an
honest check list was obtained, that the Re-
publicans could get fair chance to reclaim
their city, and he introduced and carried
through the law providing for an education
al qualification of voters. But it was not un-
til Mr.. Haines took the fight upon himself to
defeat the leader of the Democracy, not only
in Watervile, but in the State, which he so
successfully accomplished in his run for the
Legislature in 1894, that an old time Republi-
can victory was gained, and Waterville once
more made solid for the Republican party.
The record of Mr.. Haines IN the Maine
legislature has been that Of a man of prog
ress and enterprise always advocating
those things which tend to build up our
the State College aad of the agricultural in
terests of the State in general have made
him very popular with the farme rs and his
speeches for the cause of the nornla schools
and academies and our charitable institu-
tions have made him strong with the educat-
ors and philanthropists OF the State and the
railroads and hotels and others who believe
in the protection of our fish and game as a
substantial and material interest in our
State, will not forget the able manner in
which he carried through the bill before the
last legislature providing for change in
the law relative TO the Game Commissioners
and the Wardens, and also his advocacy on
the floor Of the house of an appropriation for
thus department.
Mr., Haines has the advantage of having
the solid support of the bar of his own coun-
ty, which is one of the ablest in the State
and also the support of large majority of
the leading lawyers throughout the State.

Our Distinguished Visitor.

Ii Hung Chang. Ambassador Penipoten-
tlary OF the Emperor of China, arrived at
New York Aug. 2Sth, where he was receiv-
ed with honors helitting his rank. Satur-
day morning he was otfcially received by
President Cleveland at Mr.. Whltneys resi-
dence. The reception was private and very
formal. The President was handed letter
from the Emperor of China and Ii Hung
Chang then made an address, communicate
ed to the President by an Interpreter. 1t
was very friendly III tone and closed as fol
lows:
trust that your eXcellencys government
will continue to afford protection and kind
treatment TO the Chinese immigrants in
America and to render friendly assistance
to the Chinese government when desired.
May the people of our two nations enjoy the
benefits of perpetual peace.
President Cleveland made an appropriate
reply.
Sunday our distinguished visitor who had
met Gen. Grant when the latter made his
tour around the world, went to the Tempo
rary receiving vault where the remains of
Gen. Grant rest, and with reverent ceremony
placed wreath on the coffin of his dead
friend, and from there he went to the resi-
dence of Col. Fred Grant to call ON Gen.
Grants widow. He remained an hour at
Col. Grants residence and was then driven
back to the Waldorf.
EX-Sec. of State John w, Foster, who was
Lii Hung Chang's adviser in the negotiations
following the Chinese-Japanese war, is of
the opinion that his visit will be of much
commercial benefit TO this country.
"His immediate presence here has no par
ticular significance, +" said Mr.. Foster Sunday.
He has come merely for pleasure, to see
the sights and to deliver message from the
emperor of China to the president of the
United States, but l am confident that it
will prove very beneficial to the business
world. He will see that China, to keep pace
in progress with other countries and to be-
come the foremost nation in the Orient, will
have to add to her present equipment, COM
mercial and military, and this will mean
good deal of trade with our country"
