AGAINST MAINE INTERESTS.
Mr.. Manley Gives His Opinion of the Loud
Bill.

The following open letter from Mr..
Manley, on pending congressional legis-
lation will be read with great interest.
Mr.. Manley is deeply interested in his
opposition to the bill:
The Arlington,
Washington, D. c., March rs, 1896.
Mr.. Walter ID. Stinson, Augusta, Maine.
My Dear Sir In answer to your letter
permit me to say that J. have been doing
everything in my power to prevent
the passage OF the so-called Loud bill.
DR.. John r. Hill was here several days
ago and rendered very valuable service in
Explaining to many members of Congress
The Objectionable features of the bill. The
ntire Maine delegation are deeply inter
ested in its defeat, and our congressman,
Mr.. Milliken, has been laboring in season
AID out of season, to prevent the passage
ofthis bill The BILL if it should become
a law, would work great injustice
Throughout the country ana especially to
the State of Maine. 1t is framed upon a
WIRING basis, namely, that the postofilce
deLartment should be selfsupporting. =
lac public desire the most efficient pos
tai Service that can be obtained, regard
less IT itsYcost. AS matter of course
they want it economically administered,
but they want the most superior postal
| service that can be furnished, and they
are Wiling to pay for il. This bill, If it
becomes law, would strike blow at
every bounty and state paper in this
countr!, outide of the great city papers,
and 1t Sould not render any benefit to
these ogans. 1t would compel every
small newspaper before depositing its
mail MATER in the postoffitee to separate
the sameAn the United States mail sacks
for all cltPs, towns and counties at its
own experse, thus putting upon them
| burden of ? clerical force to do mail
work, with belongs to the postoffice
Departmental perform and pay for. 1t
would larger ourtail the circulation of
newspapers aid periodicals, and thus in
jure materially the paper trade and the
pulp trade, which is such great indus
try in Maine 1T would greatly reduce
the work doneln the great establishments
devoted to publication of periodicals and
ployment, in the printing and paper
trades and csnA see no corresponding
benefit to any oTs.N
Inasmuch as tie bill so seriously affects
the interests of iaine and Augusta
shall give to It's dfesat all the time l can
command, consultfhr with members of
the House of Representatives from every

grave defects of this I'LL The bill is very

aid the early adoptionof one cent letter

and a snare. They ap pouring letters

senators and members ugiDg its passage

What will be the ultim te fate of the
bill it is early to predict but you can
rest assured that every effort Is being

ENCAMPMENT PROGRAMME.
Will Be Interesting to Veterans and
Civilians.

Gradually the programme for the forth
coming national encampment of the 6.
A r. at ST. Paul, is assuming definite
shape. The several committees are work
| ing ndustriously in their respective de-
partments and tolerably accurate out
line of the features of the encampment
week has been prepared.
| Monday, September O. the first day OF
the encampment, will begin with the re
oeption to the oommander-in-oh chief at the
depot and escorting him to headquarters.
In the afternoon of the same day, Com
mander-in- Chief Walker will give recep-
ton in the Ryan to old soldiers and oiti
zens.
Tuesday, September 8, the parade of the
naval veterans, which is one of the most
brilliant features of the encampent, will
take place. The uniform worn by this
section of the e A. R., is very pictur-
esque and inspires enthusiasm among
the spectators. The Sons of Veterans
will probably march with the naval brig
ade.
Tuesday afternoon the ladies of the
Women's Relief Corps and also the
! Ladies Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie will take carriage ride through the
city, and in Sthe evening these organiza
tions will give a reception to the officers
of the Il. A. r.
Wednesday, September 4, the day of the
general parade of the old soldiers and the
naval veterans, will open with nation
al salute of Al guns, which will be fred
at 5. 80 O'Clock in the morning. It is in
/ tended that Battery A shall fire this sa-
| lutte, but Gen. Mason is now negotiating
to get permission for the light battery
stationed at Fort Sheridan to come to
ST. Paul during the encampment. It is
the crack artillery corps of the United
States and is known as the famous
"Capron Light Battery" The drill and
tactics of this battery is the most finished
in the artillery service of any country,
and if Gen. Mason Is successful in his
efforts their performance will be some
thing new to the old soldiers as we'll as
to civilians.
| At $50 o'clock one round will be given,
the signal for forming the first grand
division of the parade. AT 10 two rounds
will be fired, the signal that the escort is
moving toward the head of the column,
and at 0.30 three guns will be fred for
the starting of the parade.
| The convention will open on Thursday,
September 5, when the governor and
mayor will formally welcome the yete-
rams to the city. Throughout the week
dog watches, campfres and entertain
ments of one kind ana another will be
given.
| Gen. Mason is also negotiating with
the War Department for 300 oonioal wall
tents for the accommodation of the 5000
old soldiers who are to be put under
canvas during the encampment, and also
for 300 cavalry equipments, such as sad
dies, brides, blankets, etc. To this end
the general has enlisted the services of
Senator Davis, Senator Nelson and Con-
gresham Kiefer.
The state is also to be asked to furnish
tents for housing the veterans. In the
event Of the board of managers being un-
able to secure the Illinois light battery,
the national salute will be fired by the
local battery, the two guns in Minneapo-
lis also being brought into service.
