The Senate did good piece of work in
ratifying the treaty for the settlement of
damages by reason of our seizures OF
Canadian vessels in Behring Sea. The ar
bitration tribunal found that we nosright

follow ed that whatever damage accrued
on "A account of them it was our duty to set
tie. There has been an apparent DISPOSE
ton in some quarters to evade this re-
sponsibility, but it is gratifying to see
that the Senate is not disposed to give

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

Mr.. E. l.. Knapp of Vest Hampden,
shot a large otter near Goodale's noun
tain Monday. 1t was fine specimen
and Mr.. Knapp sold it in Bangor for a
good price.
One of the cars of the Bangor, Old
Town & Orono electric railroad jumped
the track at point near Orono Tuesday
night and ran 80 feet before coming to a
standstill. 1t struck heavily against a
telegraph pole which was knocked over
by the force of the collision. There were
20 passengers in the car and although
they were somewhat frightened, no one
was injured.
The agitation for new hotel in Bath,
has broken out in a new place. 1t is I'M
derstood that thu proprietor of the Ton
tine in Brunswick has offered to put a
certain sum of money and to lease the
hous, when built, and that certain Bath
parties are talking of taking up with the
offer.
Capitalists of Bangor, Boston and ST.
John have subscribed to large amount
of stock to build steam band-saw mill
at Ashland. The refusal of mill site
has been obtained and parties are now
negotiating with the owners of timber
lands with view to making their source
OF supply certain for term of years. The
plan Is to build a mill that will manu-
facture sixty million feet year.

The readers of the PRESS have re.
Gently had set before them by an able
supporter Of free silver coinage the
happy condition Mexico has been brought
to by the adoption of that policy. There
seems to be another side to the picture
which was foroibly presented by Secretary
Carlisle in his address on Wednesday at
Chicfago in these words:
Our neighboring republic of Mexico
with constitutional government very
similar to our own, with an area of 767. :
600 square miles and population of only
about II, 600, 900, with almost marvellous
natural resources awaiting development
and Offering most inviting field for the
investment of capital and the employ.
ment of labor, has the silver standard of
value, gold not being in use, and if cheap
money Is a blessing to the laboring man
he ought to be prosperous and happy in
that country. The Mexican dollar con-
tains S77.17 grains of pure silver, or
nearly 3 grains more than is contained in
our dollar, and yet, not being sustained
by monetary system which Keeps it at a
parity with gold, it is worth only about
63 cents in our money. Wages are paid
in silver and are very low in comparison
with the wages paid in this country for
the same services, in many instances not
being half as much. while the prices of
commodities generally are much higher
than the are here. The prices of import
ed articles especially are exorbitantly
high in Mexico, because they have to be
paid for abroad in gold, and the depreoia-
ton Of their money is SO great that If
requires nearly 50 in silver to pay ST in
gold.
If free silver coinage is the stimulus
that has produced this state of things
the workingmen of this country, who
constitute the largest part of the popula-
ton, will hardly want any of it intro
duced here.

Mr.. Patterns remark in the convention
yesterday that the adoption of his resolu-
ton in favor of discriminating duties on
ships would not hurt Mr.. Reeds oandi-
dacy was entirely superfuous. Nobody
ever supposed that it would, and nobody
opposed it on that ground. The real
ground Of opposition was that it was not
clear that such a policy as Mr.. Patterns
resolution outlined would help the ship
owners. The willingness, the .eagerness
even, of Maine Senators and Representa-
tives, and Maine Republicans in general
80 help shipping is admitted by everyone.
and there is no question that policy
that will accomplish that end will re-
ceive their hearty support. What the con-
vention refused to do was to commit it
sslf to a particular measure concerning
the effect of which it was not reasonably
certain, and it acted wisely in doing SO.

FOR PLAYING POKER.
Little 0ame Which Was Not Fin

This afternoon in, Judge Miller's court a
number of faces familiar about poker
rooms were seen in the audience when
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny called for
trial the case Of Thomas Miller charged
with setting up gaming table in the Hotel
Regent. corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street. 1t Is alleged that a game of
poker was in progress in the room about 2
o'clock yesterday morning when Sergt. Ac-
ton and Policemen Schuyler, Hollinberger.
Kilmarttn and Simpson called and notified
those in the room that they were under
arrest. The poker players were very much
surprised, but they went to the station
with the officers without any trouble
Lawyer A. A. Lipscomb appeared as coun-
sci In the case. and claimed that 1t was a
case of q few gentlemen INDUCING in a
friendly game of poker. Those who were
in the game that was raided got their
chips from Miller.
Mr.. Lipscomb, in arguing the case, ask
ed why the authorities did not stop these
crime-creating and suicide-breeding places
stock brokers' offices and bucket shops.
People rob and emhezzle to feed these
places. and yet the authorities bring into

efforts are being concentrated toward the
arrayiEg of employees against employers.
Almost daily until the close Of the cam
paign. 1t is said. sensations are to be sprung
all bearing upon the labor question. These
sensations are to grow in boldness with the
approach of election day.
The latest reached the republican national
headquarters from Denver today. 1t is in
the form of letter written by Samuel T.
Presley, an alleged gold advocate of Bos-
ton, to Geo. F. Patrick of Pueblo, Col. At
ter statement about "a Mc-Kin-
ley corruption fund.-" the writer says
that Chairman Hanna is authority for the
statement that after McKinley's electi IN
the standing army will be increased to
100000 men, and that force will be used to
prevent strikes and riots, and that labor
is to be regulated by the regular army.
Mr. Hanna does not know of such per-
son as Presley and says that the statement
is a lie out of whole cloth: that he not only
never made such statement, or an intima-
ton that could be distorted into such a
statement, but such an idea never entered
his mind.
No Financial Claim ON Mckinley
The first report of this character was that
Chairman Hanna had a mortgage of $1iS,-
COO on Mckinley, growing out Of a security
debt several years ago, which security was
hquidated by popular subscr. ption, and
with which Mr.. Hanna's friends say he
had nothing to do more than several hun
died other citizens who contributed to the
fund
Mr.. Hanna has no financial claim against
Major Mckinley.
There are no notes in evidence, and never
were, on account of the extinguishment of
this obligation, which was paid by volun-
tary subscription. The notes became the
property of and were destroyed by the per-
sons throughout the country who con-
tributed to the fund. -.'-.r
