The Auburn city fathers are alarmed
by the rapid rate at which the electric
cars are run through the streets of that
city. At a recent meeting the subject
was widely debated, and one alderman
said that the rate run on Court and Golf
streets was fully 90 miles an hour. The
Board finally came to the conclusion that
public opinion was strongly opposed to
such speed. A committee consisting OF
Mayor Harris, Aldermen Wiggin and
Oliver, was then selected to meet Presi-
denU Jerrard to see it the present speed
cannot be reduced. 1t was said that Su-
perintendent Farr had a scheme by which
the road was to run on the fast time un.

FOOT BALL NOTES.
The Bangor News says:
The following letter has been received
from Mr.. Hanaford, manager Of the Port
land High school foot ball team
Editor Daily News:
Will you kindly allow me space In your
columns to correct any wrong influence
that mig hit be drawn from the statement
between Portland High and Edward Lit
tie High, at Auburn, Saturday last
which reflected upon Portland's right
to play Gulliver.
Frank ID. CULVER played on the tea m
for the entire season OF '95, and during
part OF 30. IQlB Is his 6n1rQ year on
the team, and his senior year in the
school.
There is and will be no man playing on
the team this year who is not strictly
an undergraduate member of the school.
and no one who has played over three
years will be allowed to don Portland
suit
Respectfully yours,
II. s. A. Hannaford,
Manager Portland High School Foot Ball
Team.
1t should be q matter of satisfaction to
all true lovers of football that the Port
land and Bangor high schools will be
fairly represented on the gridiron next
Saturday. Contrary to few mistaken
reports Dangers team will not include
q single member who is not entitled to
play and judging from Mr.. Hannaford's
record in the past he would not consent
to allow any ringers" to play on his
team.
The great game takes place on the
Deering grounds Saturday afternoon
and by all accounts 1t will be very hot
game.

The annual report of the Bureau of
Statistics of the State Department es-
tablished the significant fact that the
foreign trade Of the United States last
year showed steady increase in the
export Of manufactured goods. the per-
ceutage of such exports rising from
24.93 per cent in 1895 to 25.71 per cent
last year. Meanwhile. the percentage
Of agricultural exports declined slight
ly. from 67.5S to 67.3S. The report finds
additional confirmation of the relative
ly rapid advance Of the foreign trade OF
the United States in some figures pre-
sented to parliament by the British
board Of trade. showing that while
Great Britain still retains her lead over
other countries In exports OF manufac-
lures. the United States Is advancing
at more rapid pace. and that that ad-
vance was larger in amount and much
larger in proportion than the advance
made by Germany.

MAY SEND ARMY OFFICERS.

Washington. May 24.-The president
on the suggestion Of Secretary Alger.
is considering the plan Of assigning mn
officer from the cOmmissary depart
ment Of the regular army to take
charge of the assembling Of relief sup
plies for Americans In Cuba. This de-
partment is trained In the handling Of
supplies, and has advantages in con
tracting for large quantities of neccs-
saries. Through the good offices Of
the Spanish government 1t Ia probable
that, in the event it is decided to send
food supplies to Cuba. in addition to
the remittances Of money. our govern
ment will be able to send much more
than would he the case If duty were ex-
acted upon the goods imported. An in
timation has been given that such sup
plies will be admitted duty free. The
Importance of this remission can be
perceived when 1t is realized that the
duty OH -four is $3.50 a barrel. or
about its original cost. In other words,
the $4,000 appropriated will be prac-
tically doubled in value by the saving
of tariff deductions.
1t was said this afternoon that the
President tomorrow would begin to
plan the details OF the distribution, 80
