Arrangements are being made for a
Steamboat line from Rockland to Booth
bay. The steamer Salacia is to run from
Portland to Boothbay and the steamer
Silver Star. Captain Archibald. will run
from Rockland to Boothbay to connect
with the Salacia. 1t is proposed to COM
mence the trips about April 10 and for a
while three trips week will lie made
and afterwards daily. This line will be
a great accommodation and should prove
success.

Insurance Commissioner S. W. Carr
has granted licenses to the following
companies to do fire insurance business in
this state: The Commercial Union Fire
Insurance company of New York; Read
ing Fire Insurance company of Reading.
Pa, and Norwalk Fire insurance com.
pnny of Norwalk, Conn. The recent
amendment to the insurance laws, made
at the last legislature, have made the
business profitable forH companies, and
apparently advantageous to those insured.
AS result of this, more licenses have
been granted companies of this sort dur
ing the past six months in this state than
for any corresponding period.

We have been sitting on
the ragged edge of a damp
cloud for the past two weeks,
contemplating the result in
the event Of the non-arrival
of the S. G. Wilder, with our
cut glass ware and other ar
ticles which we had selected
for the holiday trade. Yes
terday the tension on our
nervous system relaxed; the
Wilder arrived and twenty
four hours after this goes into
print, we will have a display
of fine goods on our counters,
such as never was seen here
before. ....
The additional space re-
quired has been obtained by
doubling up on our show coun-
tiers, making new ones and
changing around some of the
old ones on the second floor.
We're ready for business and
the number of sales of holiday
goods we have made during
the past three weeks constrains
US to believe that the business
is ready for us.
By the Wilder we have all
kinds Of things suitable for
Christmas gifts. Many of them
are in cut glass and they COM

NEW STEAMER ARRIVED.
Called Mauna Loa hfter tho Famou,
volcano Of Hawaii

Called M.nna Loa After tho Famous
volcano ofHewsIi.
The fine, new steamer Mauna
Loa, for the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, arrived in
port last night under command of
Captain Godfrey, having left San
Francisco at IL a. m. Dec. l.
Fine weather was had during the
voyage. When she came in last
night her electric searchlights
were turned on, showing they
were very convenient appliances
in moving about on dark nights.
Her dimensions are as follows:
length over all, 1876 feet; beam, "a
feet; depth, 155 feet; gross tom
mage, 8l7; net tonnage, 511. She
has triple expansion engines,
which drive her propeller at the
rate of 125 revolutions in min
ute. There are two boilers, 1lx12,
giving 900 horse power, and capa-
Bile of IT'S lbs. steam pressure. On
the trial trip a speed of Ii knots
was made. The new boat has two
masts, and is schooner rugged like
the rest of our inter-island fleet.
There are three decks, main, up
per and hurricane.
Besides comfortable rooms for
the officers, there are % state
rooms for passengers, 1S on the
upper deck and four on the lower.
The saloon, situated forward by
the wheel house, is 2lx22, with
seats for 90 at the tables. There
are four toilet rooms. All the
staterooms are large and airy, and
are fitted with patent wash basins,
and push buttons connected with
electric call bells. The smoking
room is about amidships on the
upper deck, with the smokestsck
running up through the center; it
is quite cool though.
A cold storage plant is one OF
the features aboard the new boat.
Food from the galley is sent to
the saloon, above, by means of
dumb waiter. In fact, the steamer
has the latest modern improve
ments throughout.
The steamer was launched at
Port Blskely in August, being
given the temporary name of
James Spiers. Hall Bros. were
the builders. She went to San
Francisco under sail, arriving
there TN Sept. 2.
Besides Capt. Godfrey, the
following we're officers aboard her
from the Coast: w. FL. Bromley,
chief engineer; Andrew johnson,
first officer; Peter Olesen, second
engineer; j. M. johnson, Charles
Klein, Alex. Mcleod and Chas.
Mcleod, quartermasters; Jas. Il.
Quinlan, first assistant engineer;
II. s. Wooten, second assistant
engineer; T. J. King, purser.

IDLE SPECULATION.

One opinion advanced Is that
the acceptance of arbitration OF
the Venezuela question by Great
Britain, at the express desire OF
the United States acting under
the Monroe doctrine, will promote
jealousy on the part of European
nations against the assumption by
The United States OF control over
territory beyond American con-
tinental confnes-for particular
instance, Hawaii. This is far
fetched speculation of the nature
of some wool that has been for
several years regularly pulled
over the eyes of Hawaiian ma
tionalists. Any European coun-
try will no more object to the
closer cultivation by the United
States of it's long recognized
sphere of influence" covering Ha-
waii, than the United States has OBJ
jected or will object toEuropean ex-
tensions of sovereignty or suzer-
ainty over parts of Africa and
Asia or islands in all oceans.
Any such objection could with the
greatest facility be disposed Of by
indubitable proofs of the bald fact
that subjects of every European
nation having interests here aid
cd, by force of arms and with no
small am cunt of financial influence,
to establish for Hawaii the at.
titude of being a suppliant for
absorption into the United States.
Every such European nation
has also not only recoguiz-
ed such alien cosmopolitan
action, but has recognized the Re-
public Of Hawaii as it stands con
stitutionally committed to "closer
political union" with the United
States. The time is past for di-
plomatic objection by other
nations to the existing claim of
the United States to the control Of
the Hawaiian Islands. There
only remains to be ascertained
upon what terms the United
States will admit Hawaii to the
Union, and whether or not the
people of Hawaii will accept the
best terms the United States may
be willing to concede. The Bull
LETIN does not believe that
the United States will ever make
a forcible conquest of Hawaii,
excepting it be from the threaten
ed grasp of another Power or to
rescue it from disastrous internal
commotion. Hawaii, in the name
and by the authority of her peo-
pie. will not be denied the priv
lege Of both Offering and accepting
terms Of union. 1t 10 the work of

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, OKLA,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was SO badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunaeo

he could open his mouth just wide

We have repeatedly urged the
necessity of organizing the Bryan
forces in this county. The Repub-
ican party is straining every nerve
to deliver Tennessee over to Nc
Kinleyism, and they are backed in
this by a campaign fund that means
something, Campaign literature is
being distributed by the carload,
and their speakers are making a
thorough canvass Of the State. 1t
is claimed by them that Tennessee
is o doubtful State, and we admit
the claim may not be an empty one,
unless all the friends Of free silver
unite and get their forces properly
at work. 1t is now only a few days
more than two weeks before the
election, and there is practically no
organization in this county. We
regret to say it, nevertheless it is a
fact that apathy upon the part Of
our committee has spread to the
rank and file, and thus we are drift
ing along in fancied security while
our political enemy is quietly but
surely preparing for one Of the most
important contest to the people we
have ever had in this country. 1t
is time our eyes were opened to
these facts. Tennessee is really
safely for Bryan, but not without
active concert Of action upon the
part of silver men. Don't wait for
somebody else to take the lead, OF
stand back because somebody else
has taken the lead, but 80 to work
yourself. Ifevery man will do this
