ISEULAH.

BEULAH, April 2O.-Edwin Wilson
took breakfast with us last Sunday
morning. He was looking for his cat
tie and he found them down by Mr..
Schnider's.
The farmers that have pastures on
the creek will have fences to repair as
the high water tore them down in
many places.
We hear of number OF farmers who
are unable to obtain as much seed as
they would like to sow. 1t may seem a
little rough because the county COM
missioners did not furnish SEED this
spring, but it may be good thing
when fall comes that they didn't.
It's got 80 late and farmers want to do
SO much that they will just have to
rush the cattle from start to finish
Last Saturday was busy day around
here. Ira Fraser was threshing on
Mr.. Peck's place and the moving bee
at Mr. Jays. made things look business
like.
Mr.. Jay will farm what is known as
the old Cheney place. south of the
Silsby farm.
Frank Babcock was drowned out
down in the Badger hole so he had to
bunk with Theodore.
We though. we could cross the Fire
steel north Of Mr.. Fraser's. Well we
got over but in doing so we got our
horses in ali over and thought we
would drown one of them. The oc-
cupants of the wagon were almost
tipped into the creek. It used to be
good crossing but the water washed
the sand in so bad we couldn't see it
under the high water. 1t learned US a
lesson.
Who says the thistles did not get a
move on themselves last Sunday
Ben Weeks has returned to his faith
er's house after wintering on this side
with Joe Emmons and wife.
Your correspondent from the north
side got up nice little verse of poetry
last week. Well try our hand:
Thistles in the corn stalks,
Thistles in the stubble,
Thistles in the pasture fence
Cause you heaps of trouble.
Mr.. Jay and Mr.. Titus could not come
to terms SO Mr.. Jay concluded to vacate
the Titus farm and he got the neighbors
to help him to moYe to the Silsby farm
last Saturday. Those who helped him
were: John Good, Frank Babcock,
Joe Emmons, John Beddoes, Theord ore
and Dominck Schnider.
Mrs. Beddoes had a bad case Of
neuralgia of the stomach last Tuesday
afternoon.

FRANCE is SYMPATHETIC.
But Beyond that Bimetallic Commission
ers Have Learned Little,

Paris, June At is learned from an
authorized French source that the letters
of credence presented to President Faure
by Senator Edward o. Wolcott of Colo
rado and his colleagues of the United
States monetary commission, former
Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois, and Gen. Charles jackson Paine
of Massachusetts,, are as ministers plenipo-
tentiary to France, Great Britain and
Germany with the mission, in concert
with the United States ambassadors of
those countries, to discuss monetary
bimetallism.
President Faure carefully avoided max
ing statement to them which might he
interpreted as promise to take any
steps in the matter. No doubt the gov
ernment of France is friendly to the
American mission, but nothing tangible
will be done beyond expressions of SYM
pathy and the assurance that the matter
will be seriously studied. =

PORTLAND, MAINE MORNING,

business in which there were ten Or
more annually during the three years
named. Purely commercial enterprises,
wholesale and retail, are seen to furnish
20 per cent of the business failures each
year, and manufacturing embarrassments
about 90 per cent Out of the increase of
nearly 2100 failures in 1896, compared
with 1895, 1135 or more than one half
were of retail concerns. The counting of
the total number of individuals, firms
and corporations in business in " groups
of the more important lines of trade, is
an unprecedented work.
These totals constitute what may be
termed the business population of the
country in these lines and permit, with
the totals of failures in these lines the
calculations of the commercial death rate
in the departments of lines of business
specified. This record shows that in 1895,
II out of every 1000 clothing concerns
and 81 out of every 1000 bicycle houses
failed in business, the two lines having
relatively the greatest commercial NOR
tality last year: The rate throughout the
country in all lines last year was IA
commercials deaths out of every 1000 in
business. Commercial failures were rela-
lively most numerous after the two lines
specified, among manufacturers of, or
dealers in hats, furniture, glassware, dry
goods, notions, woolens, jewelry, lumber
and hardware. After that the rate of en-
barrassment approximated more nearly
the normal.

BOTH TO BLAME.
Rseort of Another Subway Gas Explosion
Investigation.

Boston, June 1.-The Massachusetts
board of gas and electric light commits
sioners this afternoon presented to the
legislature its report on the investiga-
tion which it has been holding for several
weeks past into the explosion at the
corner of fremont and Boylston streets,
in this city, just before noon of March 4
last, by which ten persons lost their lives
and nearly so were more or less injured.
The report attaches responsibility to
the Boston Gas Light Company and the
Metropolitan Construction Company,
jointly. Commissioner Arker, the chair
man and Commissioner Schaff agreed
upon the report, but Commissioner Gift
ford was not altogether satisfied with
their finding and he filed separate re.
port.
4 This is the report of the third investiga-
tion of the disaster. Judge Ely, after
an inquest on the death of one victim, de-
clared the gas light company responsible.
Fire Marshal Whitcomb's report after an
Investigation, did not place the blame.
District Attorney Stevens has said he
would take no action in the matter I'M
til the commissioners reports were re-
ceived.

The Bangor Athletes.
ESPECIAL TO THE PnEss.j

Bangor, June 4.-The Bangor High
school athletes who are to compete in the
games of the Maine interscholastic meet
a. Brunswick tomorrow, left on the
noon train today for the scene of the
battle, accompanied by James H. Horne
of Bowdoin college and Manager H. f.
Quinn. The team which will try and
carry away the honors from Portland on
Saturday is comprised of 20 men,
The Bangor boys are already complain
ing about the officials. They say that Pre-
sident Griffeth named the officials and
selected those men who were Portland
men, and. if there was any close decisions
to make, they would probably lean to-
wards the boys from their own city.
Only one Bangor man was named as an
official and that was Geo. f. Stetson of
Bowdoin, who is a manager in the field
events. Several of the Bangor athletes,
notably the men in the sprints and hur-
die races have been at Brunswick for
TWO or three days getting used to the

COURSE OF PRICES SIMILAR TO
OPENING MONTHS OF 70.
When Occurred Most Wonderful Advance
in Production and Prices Known in
History of This or any Other Country
Failures Continue to Fall Off.

New York, June 4.-R. G. Dun &
Company in their weekly review of trade
will say:
The statement of failures in May by
branches of business gives much encour.
agement. In amount of defaulted liabili-
ties the month was the smallest since
September 1895, in manufacturing liabili-
ties the smallest since November, 1895,
and in trading liabilities the smallest ex-
cept the last month since September, 1894.
The statement that except for the tenn
porary depression in prices, the volume
OF business transacted is now larger than
it was in 1892, the year of greatest pros
perity, has been questioned by some. But
comparison of prices this..week in the
leading branches of manufacture only
confirms that view, but shows a remark
able similarity to the course of prices in
the earlier months of 1879 when the most
wonderful advance in production and
prices over known in this or any other
country was close at hand. The key
OF the situati on is the excessive product
ion of some goods in advance of an ex-
pected increase in demand. So in 1879
consumption gradually gained, month by
month, until suddenly it was found that
the demands was greater than the posi-
Bile supply. All know how prices then ad.
vanced, and the most marvellous progress
in the history of any country resulted in
two years. Reports from all parts of the
country now show that retail distribu-
tion of products is unusually large and
increasing.
There is no improvement in the market
for farm products. Cotton is not higher,
nor is there any satisfactory demand for
woolen goods. The boot and shoe manu-
facturers have larger business also, in
part, because many have made the conces-
sions in price reported last week. Ship
ments from the east for five weeks have
been 339,754 cases, against 399, 200 last
year.
The iron industry is apparently expand
ing in production and is certainly get
ting larger contracts, in part because of
very low prices.
Crop prospects are so good that the
rumors customary at this season have no
attention
Failures for the week have been 24t
in the United States, against 234 last
year, and 80 in Canada, against 30 last
year.

That Most Probable Solution Of
Spanish Crisis.
GEN. CAMP0S NAMED AS A POSSI-
BILE SUCCESSOR.
Conser vatives Won't Stand BY Him to Ex-
tent of Retiring from Ofice-Sagasta
Says His Recall VIII Be First Act of
Liberals If They Come Into Office.

Madrid, June 5.-Every one is convinced
that the main question at issue in the
present crisis is the selection of new
governor of Cuba capable of convincing
the people that Spain is in earnest in the
matter of colonial reforms. The crisis is
likely to be prolonged; but there is sig
niicant change of tone visible in the
to hint that the future of the Conserva-
tive party is not altogether dependent up
on Captain General Weyler. The impress
sion gains ground that rather than see the
Liberals in office, the Conservatives
would consent to recall Weyler, and it is
believed that Marshal Martinez Campos
is willing to replace him.
\ 1t is understood that Senior Sagasata in.
formed the Queen Regent that if the Lib
erals ca me into office through the refusal
to countenance foreign dictation, the re-
call of Capt. General Weyler would be
among theEfrst steps taken.
1 The Queen Regent is expected to con-
suit Marshal Blanco and Dominguez
tomorrow on the military aspects of the
situation in Cuba, and there is great an
xiety to learn the result of the long con-
ference between Her Majesty and Mar
shall Canpos.
