MAINE MEN ON wooLEN SCHEDULE,
Delepation of manufacturers Before Ways
and Means Committee,

Washington, January THE woolen man
ufacturers were we'll represented before the
ways and means committee today.
Thomas Sampson, who operates mill In
Wateryille, Me-, stated to the committee
that if the conditions of the past few years
lasted all the WOODEN mills of the country
must close. He spoke of the use OF shoddy
or waste in the manufacture of cheap cloth
ing and asked that no prohibitive duty be
placed on these products. There was not
enough wool grown, he said, to make cheap
clothes and the use of waste was necessary.
Galen C. Moses of Bath said that all man
ufacturers wanted was tariff OF such MOD
crate nature that il would not be upset IN
few ears. The change from the mckinley
to Wilson bill had cost his company $l00, IVY.
He said he had been a Democrat all his lie
and was one of the original free wool men,
but he had changed his mind regarding
wool, having become convinced that CON
ditions here did not warrant the admission
of that product free of dutv.
His statement that he had cast the hfSt
Republican ballot forNIcKinley caused consld
erable amusement. Mr. Grosvenor OF ONO
remarked that he was getting in good COM
pany and hoped he would stay;
The committee adjourned until tomorrow.

BIG HOLE IN GROUND.
News OF Mysterious Explosion at
Wells Beach.
supposed to Have Been Work of A gents of
Cuban Junta Trying New Kind OF
Dynamite.

Dynamite
Bjddeford. January 7.-Information was
received tonight from Wells to the effect that
a trial of new explosive, alleged to have
been designed for use in Cuban warfare, was
secretly made near Black creek several
miles from Wells village today.
Two men arrived in that town on the
morning train from the west. One carried a
satchel and the other "a box. They left the
village in the direction of Black Creek and
a short time afterwards the sound of an ex-
plosion was heard. When they returned to
take the afternoon west bound train, they
declined to answer any questions regarding
the object of their visit. Some OF the
townspeople start I'd out to investigate and
found In a pasture hole twelve feet deep
and extending nearly five rods. 1t IS sup
posed the explosive was operated by means
of kite and an electric al appliance.
The men who came to Wells to experiment
with this explosive were undoubtedly the
agents of the Cuban Junta which has been
irving all kinds of inventions that might be
ased n their fight against the Spaniards.
some weeks ago the papers printed a dis
patch from New York stating that expert
ments with some kind of an explosive would
soon be made in some town along the coast
of Maine and that the Junta were guarding
this secret with the utmost care. That the
mysterious strangers who visited Wells to-
day were the agents of the Junta there is
yery little doubt and that their experiments
with the explosive were successful the big
hole in the ground near Black Creek is good
evidence One of the men whose visit has
stirred Wells up to pitch OF excitement
seldom attained in the town, is described
as being tall, soldierly looking fellow
with dark complexion and evidently a
foreigner. The other man looked like q
bright. wide awake Yankee machin1ss.
