Lectures on Evolution.
To the Editor of the Press:

May have space in your paper to say
word respecting the lectures on Eyo.
luton to be given in our city by Prof.
Tyler of Amherst college. It has been
my good fortune to attend two courses
of his lectures. I know him to be q
pleasing lecturer. His scientific ability
is fully recognized and can be seen n q
volume-The Whence and Whittier ot
Man-just issued from the press of The
Scribners. The theme of the lectures is
one concerning which many know lit.
tie, but of which only master can
speak. 1 am sure it will be to the profit
Of the citizens of Portland to hear Prof.
Tyler.
Very truly,

olSPeNSARY INVESTIGATION.
Nothing Startling Developed ON the First
Day.

Columbia. S. c.. Sept. 1.-THE dis
pensary investigation began Wednes
day morning. but nothing startling was
developed beyond what was already
known. Governor Evans was the first
witness All he knew beyond hearsay
evidence was that w. T. Mixson, a son
of Commissioner Mixson had gotten
81 sos commissions from the Live Oak
Distillery company OF Cincinnati. The
governor admitted that he had no pos
tive evidence against the commission
er. He denied most positively that he
had ever received any commission or
that any had been offered him.
Clerk Scruggs of the board OF control
testified that he went to Cincinnati
last winter and Manager Yost of the
Live Oak company informed him that
Commissioner Mixson was being paid
commissions. He showed Scruggs
where he had. paid Mixson's two sons
$500 in two months. Scruggs had told
the governor that Secretary of State
Tompkins was as deep in the mire as
Mixson, but when questioned he ad-
mitted that he was merely suspicious
by reason of the intimacy between
Mixson and Tompkins A recess was
taken until after noon to secure copies
of certain letters written by whisky
firms which will throw light on the
trapaaptiona

partment has taken steps To have
thorough investigation made OF the cir
cumstances surrounding the killing OF

1t is alleged, that although he was

Promised To BE Sensational.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 1.-THE
Democratic state convention. which
assembled in this city Wednesday be-
gan its business with every indication
of being as memorable an event as has
ever arisen in the political history of
Connecticut. While the delegates, num-
bering 500, were almost solidly for the
Endorsement of the Chicago platform
and candidates. the whole machinery
of the party in the state was in the
hands of the gold standard men. An
ticipating the upset which this condi-
ton made inevitable, twelve members
of the state central committee resigned.
There was also talk before the con-
vention met that there would be bolt
of the gold standard men at time
when such action might be expected to
have an effect more or less spectacular.
The convention is for the selection of
presidential electors and for the NOM
ination of candidates for the govern
orship and other state offices.
Chairman Davis OF the state COM
mittee called the convention to order.
but made no speech. William Kennedy
of Naugatuck was designated as tenn
porary chairman. the announcement
being received with tumultuous cheer
ing, which was renewed when In his
speech he praised the Chicago plat
form and candidates. The temporary
officers were made permanent. After
Chairman Kennedy had read the resig-
nations of the state committeeman
delegate moved that they be accepted
with the thanks OF the convention"
The motion was adopted amid loud
cheering and other marks Of approval.
The committee on resolutions not be-
ing ready to report the convention took
y recess.
A new state committee was ap-
pointed. all the members of which are
i'm accord with the declaration OF the

NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Remarks Of the ST. James Gazette on the
Subject.


London. Sept. 1.-THE st. James Ga
zette publishes a leading editorial art
icle headed "A New Triple Alliance"
In the course of its remarks on the
subject the st. James Gazette points
out the menacing tone of the continen-
tai semi official press on the subject
of Turkey and says:
We are openly threatened with joint
hostile European action IL we interfere
lin Turkey against the will of the
powers But there is one combination
which lritish craftsmanship might ef-
feet. Two states which have little to
gain from Russia could act with US
and end the tension. The United States
and Italy are both understood to be
friendly to Russia. Nevertheless. neith-
er is yet too deeply involved to be able
to assume an independent attitude un-
der British inspiration. Why should
not England. the United States and
Italy form new dreibund? Alors Of
the nations of the earth. the people OF
the United States can understand the
impulse which would drive Englishmen
to war in order To suppress tyranny or
rescue the oppressed Plenty of Amer
leans would regard with enthusiasm
the spectacle of the Union Jack and
the Stars and Stripes floating side by
side in the Bosphorus to back up their
joint demand"
Continuing the 81. James Gazette
points out that Italy is ready to Join
England in this matter IL invited. The
article concludes: 1T might be ex-
pected that the Russian combination
would go TO pieces at the mere aspect
of this genuine league of peace. and
that the new dreibund might lead to
fresh grouping of the powers and
the delivery of Europe both from
Turkish misrule and the dangerous
thraldom to Russia into which 1t is
sinking"
