AN APPEAL FROM MISS WILLARD.

My Comrades: The cup Of wrath is
full. In these two terrible years when
the massacre Of the innocent has gone
on under the eyes of our paralyzed
rulers in Christian lands, we have
thought that men alone could help.
But it is women who are dying two
deaths in the bloody East, and we
their sisters, cannot longer wait. You
have nobly responded TO my earlier APP
peal, and in the name of Christ, and
humanity of the home against the
harem, / earnestly and tenderly call
upon you to organize meetings in every
locality, urging our government to CO.
operate with England in putting stop
To the massacreB, and giving protec-
tion henceforth to Armenian homes.
Let these be massmeetings addressed
by the pastors, the business men and
the most capable women. Let money
be raised by Systematic visitation, as
we'll as by collection, and forwarded to
our national treasurer, Mrs. Helen NJ.
Barker, the Woman's Temple. Chicago.
And may God deal with us at last
as we deal with our Armenian
sisters, brothers and their little ones in
this hour of their overwhelming
calamity. Union Signal, Sept. Gath.

THE CHRlSTlANA RIVER
Dredging the Streams Channel 10 Be.
Gin at an Early Date.
THE BOARD OF TRADE GRATIFIED.
Visit of War Department Rep.
reSentatives.

Ii is expected that the work of i'm
proving the Christiana river by dredp-
ing the channel through the city to the
Delaware river will be commenced in
very short time. The money was
appropriated at the last session Of Con.
gross, and s2O, 600 should have beer
available for the work by the first Of
July.
1t was feared that til, some
hitch in the matter and mo, u..tints and
manufacturers using the river were
becoming anxious, and numerous in
quiries have been made during tbe
past few days. When the matter began
10 lag, the river and harbor committee
OF the Board of Trade began to look it
VI, and they are gratifled to know
that something is about to be done.
A delegation representing the War
Department was in this city on Satur-
day and spent considerable time in
consultation with local parties in
terested, and while here they were
pressed with the Importance of having
tho work done at once. After looking
well over the ground they took data,
and will make report to the Washing.
ton officials.
Nothing definite could be learned
from the delegation, but it is believed
that they will recommend that the
work be commenced as soon as prac-
ticable.
This is good news, as It was feared
that nothing would be done until next
spring.

y Clerks of the Peace Foard of New

Dover on Saturday to consider the
question of allowing the name ma

Committee of tho National Democratic
party will be held to take action in the
matter.
The clerks of the peace did not object
to the word Democratic, " but simpl,
to the word National" which pre-.

confusing to voters. They might &C.

VITAL DECISION.
Commissioners Refuse EIeC-
trio Road to Gorham.
Find No Grounds for Granting loca-
tion--Reasons Given.
Summer School at Hoult0n Largest Ever IN
Manufacturer Capitol News.

The railroad commissioners at their
regular monthly meeting held. Wednes-
! dav. at the capitol. announced their
L decision in regard to the petition of the
Portland Extension railway for ex-
tending its line from Westbrook to
Gorham.
The commissioners do not approve of
the proposed location because they find
that the public convenience does not
require the construction of the electric
railway as pctitioned for.
The reply of the commissioners gives
many reasons for their action, showing
why they mike their decision. They
say in part:
THE same question presented by
this petition was once settled by the
board, when it was submitted by agree
ment of parties upon the petition for
approval of articles of association.
We hesitated then about giving any
consideration to the question. The
result justities the doubt we then had
, of the proprety of considering any
question not presented by regular pro-
ceedings.
The corporation applying for such
allegations embraced in the petition,
. ana it devolves upon the Portland
Extension r. r. Co. to show that the
construction of this railway is required
by public convenience.
The location is not to be approved
as a matter of right. simply upon the
I filing of an application, unless evidence
4 is produced before the board to show
that the public convenience requires
such construction"
] After a number of citations from de
csions in other states in support of
4 the commissioners position, the state
4 ment continues:
,. Some of the petitioners certify that
public convenience and necessity re-
! Qllire the construction of the proposed
4
1 convenience and necessity do not re-
4 quire the construction. Petitions pre-
scnting no facts, nor the evidence
thereof, but simply expressing the
, opinions and desires of the petitioners
are not evidence and cannot take the
place of evidence.
And so we feel that we are not
authorized either legally or morally
to be influenced by a public sentiment
however much we may respect that
sentiment For a public sentiment
however commendable it may be, is
not legal evidence of a public conven-
fence which requires the building OF
a street railway.
q LAS we have stated in our former de-
cision, the Portland & Rochester r. Il
. now runs six passenger trains each
= way, daily, between Gorham and Port
e land. and the gross receipts from trans
u portation between these points aver
+, ages only $2,002 per train.
|, "In view of the facts presented
: while the feel regret at not being able
u to accommodate those who want the
electric road, they find no cause foi
its construction, and have based then
decision accordingly"
