The introduotion ait this time of an

The introduction at this time of an
amendment to the tariff bill providing
for bounty on beet sugar is unfortunate
to say the least. We are inclined to think
that such an amendment at any time
would have been a mistake for the need of
revenue is so great at this time and there
is SO much danger that the bill may not
produce enough for the first year that we
cannot afford to diminish it by bounties
But even if it would have been advisable
to introduce 1t weeks ago it is certainly
impolitic to attempt it now when the bill
is or. the eve of passage. 1.-THE committee
ought to have foreseen that so important
an amendment would precipitate a long
debate and refrain from Offering it. To
be sure they quickly withdrew it, but not
before Senator Allen had seen in it an op-
portunity to make some political capital
for himself, an opportunity which he
seems disposed to use even if the effect of
doing SO is to postpone indefinitely the
passage of the bill AS rule the finance
committee has managed the bill very
skillfully since it's introduction into the
Senate, but in proposing this bounty
amendment at the eleventh hour tn ey OBJ
viously made a mistake.
The Portland daily press., 1897-07-05

The Constitution provides that the
President shall appoint consuls with the
advice and consent of the Senate. OBJ
viously it was intended that the President
should take the initiative in this matter
Senator Wellington of Maryland appears
to think. however, that the Senators should
recommend and the President should &C.
cept their recommendations. Indeed,
judging from his speech in the Senate the
other day it is his idea that it is an in
vasion of the senatorial prerogative for
the President not to appoint whom a
Senator has recommended or to appoint
him to different office. To one who was
una equainted with the practice that has
obtained for many years past this idea
would appear strange, but to one familiar
with the practice it appears quite natural
For great many years past the Senators
have been accustomed to regard certain
offices as practically their personal
property to be filled by their friends, and
they have frequently enforced this view
by refusing to confirm nominations that
were not in accord with it. This idea is
seldom so frankly avowed as it was by
Senator Wellington, but that!it is held by
all of them they have frequently shown
by their actions.

Gen. Hays Reception.

London, July s.-The reception of the
United States ambassador, Col. John
Hay, at his residence on Carlton House
terrace, today, was attended by 1900 peo-
pie, the highest on record. American and
British flags predominated in the decora-
tions and a Hungarian band was sta.
toned on the terrace where the guests
gathered. Among those present were the
United States Special Envoy, the Hon.
Whitelaw Reid, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassadors to the United
States and Lady Pauncefote, the Hon.

Bike Records Smashed.

Racine, Wis.,, July 3.-Tom Cooper low
cred the worlds mile record for paced
flying start by two and two-ffths seconds
at Athletic park today before 1900 people.
Cooper was paced by quad and made
one mile in las fiat. Eddie Bald held
the record at ISL IS, which record he
made at Buffalo in June of this year.
The events at the national circuit here
today were full of interest. The one
mile open professional was taken by Tom
Cooper with Bob Walthour second.
Time, 2.05. The one mile, 2.15 class, pro-
fessional, resulted: o. f. Bowman of
Chicago, first; Fred Hicks, second. Time,
40 In the mile handicap, professional,
a fall by J. E. Molle resulted in several
of the fast riders being thrown from their
wheels. Cooper was thrown forty feet,
but came out without scratch and later
lowered the mile record.

Of the marks was correct, but it has never
been questioned. On Saturday evening
the .workmen reached depth of ninety.
five feet. On Monday they returned and
the shaft was full of..water. This was the
first setback. An effort was made to
pump out the pit, but it proved fruitless,
and it was decided to sink another shaft
and tunnel under the money pit'-as it
was called Work was begun, but after
getting thirty or forty feet down the
water burst in and the workmen had to
give it up. Thus ended the operations of
the first company.
"The next serious effort to recover the
treasure was made in 1s49, when another
company was organized, in which DR..
Lynds and Vaughn, although well along
inEyears, were interested. A force of men
was put at work. What they accom-
plished can be vouched for by J. B. Nc
Gully, their manager, who is now living
in Truro. The old money pit was tackled
1t had in the course of years filed up. At
a depth of eighty six feet the water was
encountered and a boring apparatus was
utilized. The platform was struck at
ninety eight feet. After going through
this platform and through sections of
spruce and oak two feet below it, the
auger dropped twelve inches and then
went through twenty two inches of pieces
of metal. The auger failed to take any
of it except three silver links, ! apparently
no rio of an old watch chain
Eventually in the boring at depth of
ninety nine and half feet the anger
came in contact with chest or cask.
Pieces of .oak, metal and fibre resemb-
ling cocoanut fibre were brought to the
surface. James Pitblado was foreman
of gang of the workmen at the time.
John Gammell, of Upper Steniacke, who
was present at the boring and who was a
large stakeholder in the company, said
that he saw Pitblado take something
from the auger, wash it, examine it
closely and put 1t in his pocket. He de-
clined to say what it was, and as he was
killed in gold mine not long after the
secret never came out. At last the old
enemy, the inrushing water, put an end
to the work of this company.
: "The next year work was resumed, and
then for the first time 1T was observed
that the water was salt and rose and fell
with the tide. This was important, for
it led to the discovery of subterranean
channel connecting with the pit, and
having it's outlet to the sea at Smith 8
Cove, on the eastern side of the island.
During the ensuing year up to the pres
ent time the work was continued along
the line of the newly found tunnel. The
pits on the island have been the scenes of
the greatest activity, and the effort now
is to pump them out. Think we'll do it,,
and when we reach that oak chest well.

Mr.. Bryan takes great pains to deny in
all his speeches that prosperity has come
or that business has materially improved.
That is only natural. Bryan knows that
prosperity will sound the death knell of
free silver and relegate himself to OBJ
security, and he will keep on believing
just as long as he can that it has not
come and will not come until he and free
silver bring it. Luckily it is not necessary
for prosperity to be here for Mr.. Bryan to
admit that it is here. The country can be
very happy while Mr.. Bryan is very
melancholy Indeed as long as Mr..
Bryan is in pursuit of the Presidency it
is inevitable that he shall be melancholy
when the country is prosperous.

The Sagadahoo county attorney threat
ems to prosecute owners of buildings
where liquor is sold, under the nuisance
act. There are more and sharper teeth in
that part of the law than in any other,
and that is the reason probably why it
has been SO little used. If the Sagadahoc
