Tho Bark Salvatore Given Up For Lost
Arrives.

Bucksport, July 21.- The Italian bark
Salvatore, Capt. Fareiello, was docked
at Nichleson's ware house today to dis
charge her cargo of salt. She arrived in
port yesterday after 11a days from Au-
gusta, Sicily. Nearly two months over
due, she was given up for lost by the
agents who were about to file insurance
claims. The vessel had less than six days
OF good sailing breeze on the voyage
which was one continual drift in a sue
cession of calms from Sicily to the Maine
coast. She left port March 23 and was
AZ days working down the Mediterranean
to Gibraltar, which she could have madt
with fair wind easily in ten days.
After two days good run, the charts show
days and weeks during which the ships
position hardly changed and others where
she made but five or 10 miles. She came
by southern passage and neither sighted
nor spoke vessel on the voyage ..The
Salvatore is a fine craft of her class and
made practically the same trip last year
in So days. But one days provisions re-
manned in the crews stores VIXEN she ar
rived at Rockland. The barks Vega and
Michael, now overdue here are thought
to have had similar experience.

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-In the Peoples
Party Paper sof this week ,Eout tonight,
Thomas E. Watson calls on Senator
Marion Butler to resign the national
Craftsmanship of the Peoples party. He
says:
"With Butler at the head of our host,
am not going to march. We had enough
of Butler and Butlerism HE has deceived
us and is deceiving us now. He is in ollu-
sion with our foes, just as Allen is. We
cannot fight fusion with fusionist in
command. There is no sense in trying
it. This party is entitled to a chairman
who is in sympathy with it's policy as
declared at Nashville. Populism cannot
go to success unless Populist leads-a
leader who puts principles above the
offices, and who realizes the deadly mis-.
take of putting our party into corrupt
bargaining for Office with it's foes.
's1et Mr.. Butler resign. Let us have
Washburn or Reed for chairman. Let
us have an official head in whom the
rank and file put confidence"
