schooner Galatea Of st. John, N. B.,
lumber laden, which was picked up
waserlogged, dismasted and abandoned
off Pollock Rip yesterday afternoon.
The vessel has q large hole in the star
board bow. The Orion reports having
parted from the Galatea last evening
while towing her in the fog. 1t was not
until after daylight that she again
sighted her and succeeded in getting her
hawser fast.
One of the Orion's seamen who had
been placed on board the Galatea was
compelled to remain there. drifting
about all night. Nothing is known of the
Ghlatea's crew or the cause OF the dis
aster. 1t may have been collision. The
captain OF the steamer reports seeing the
schooner Eliza Morse with headgear gone
and boat astern probably belonging to
the schooner Galtea.
1t was ascertained today that the Pen
tagoet can be freed of water by wreck
ing pumps. A diver has located bad
break on her starboard side, forward, and
patched the same, diminishing ths leak
materially. Some OF her cargo is being
lightered and it is hoped she will soon
be fioated. A large portion of sho cargo
will be uninjured.

good offices of this government towards

This correspondence includes letter
from Prince Lobanoff dated st. Peters

can minister is informed, in reply to an
expression of opinion by him, that the
refusal interpcsed by the Russian consul
lar authorities to request for wise Ia
contrary to the American constitution
which does not allow that citizens of
the United States should be deprived of

fesses; that the broadcast spirit of tolera-

Russian laws and the Jewish religion is
no more prohibited in Russia than 1t Is
in the United States.
1t is even legally recognized here, and
enjoys certain privileges, but when for
motives of international order Russian
law raises objection to the entrance to
certain categories of foreigners upon our

Prince Lobanoff says further, 1.-THE

Is the consequence of a foreign law of

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.I

Lewiston, July 12.-Lswiston and Au-
burn Democrats were inclined to look
upon the nomination Of Arthur Sewall
for Vice President rather in the light
of q joke when the news was first re-
ceived Saturday afternoon. Many could
hardly credit it when first informed of
the action of the convention.
The majority Of the leading Demo-
Gratis here are rather unfriendly toward
the Bath man politically. and the nomi-
nation weakens rather than strengthens
the ticket in these two cities.
On the other hand some Of Mr.. Sewall's
personal friends of both parties, expressed
their pleasure that he had been honored
as he has.

known in every section of the state:

sh ould have first to know the reasons
which prompted the nomination. at
present I can't see any and it strikes me
as rather weak one. Mr.. Sewall is re-
cognized by all Maine people as good
business man, but most Of us never
thought he displayed any of the qualities
of statesman. 1t can't be his wealth
