A Government TowbOat and a
Brig Go Ashore Off
Wolf Island
BOTH GOT OFF, BRIG DAMAGED.
A Lieutenant of the Navy is on the Tug.
Vessel Leaking RspidIy--For
Government Lumber.

The United States government tug
boat Nina, with the American brig
Robert Dillon in toy, went ashore on
Wolf Island shoals yesterday morning
at 80 O'Clock.
The Nina Was towing the Robert
Dillon from Esw York to Brunswick.
The government is having work done
on the Brooklyn dock, aRd 10 in need
of considerable lumber. Accidents
have happened to several vessels
whloh had oargses fer the wosk, and
various delays have occurred, which
have resulted in delaying the work
considerably. In order to insure qulok
dispatch for special cargo now wait
ing shipment from this port the gov.
srsn"Dt ordered its tug, the Nina, to
tow the Robert Dilloa to Brunswick
and return. Unfortunately the delay
in this instancs will probably be more
serious than the previous ones.
There was a stiF wind blowing
when the tug and the brig went
ashore, and it looked vary dangerous.
for awhile. The tug, however. man
aged to get off all right,and lay nearby
all night until daylight. Then the
tug gave repeated signals to the brig
but the brig gave no answer. Captain
Wells, of the tug, decided that all was
well on board and proceeded to Bruns-
wick.
The vessel pounded hard from Z to
a. M, but fioated off at high tide. The
tug U. Dart which was cruising off
the bar, picked up ths brig and towed
her into port. AS the brig came off
without assistance, there can be no
claim for salvage.
The vessels damages are consider
able. She has five fest OF waseK in her
hold and her bottom and top-sides are
damaged. A survey will probably be
held on her today.
Captain Wyatt, Al the brig. ex-
pressed himself in regard to the acct
dent to his vessel. He was asked ifhe
blamed the captain of the tug for leav-
ing his vessel in a preoarious posi-
ton, He declined to state, but said
that he did not fully sxcnerate the
captain from sill blame, but didn't care
TO express himself on that point. On
board the Nina 10 Lieut.. J. A Dough
erty, of ths United States navy, who
has charge of thu work on the Brook
Ign dock, and who came to Bruins
wick to see that the special cargo of
lumber wanted for the work is properly
shipped.
Lieutenant Dougherty was an OIL
Ger on the cruiser Columbia, when she
towed the Passsio to Bruins wick He
has prepared an Official report of the
accident 10 the tug and her tow, for
transmission to the navy department.

Citizens Bssslsssly Alarmed About Plant
System improvements
The citizens of New Town, who
have been in the habit of keeping
boats along the shore of Academy
creek, have beer somewhat alarmed
lately st the prospects of the complete
closing OF the foot of the streets by
the new Plant System wharvss. 1t
was reported yesterday that the citi-
zens had employed an attorney to get
out an Injunction against the Plant
System to stop the building of the
whRrves.
Investigation showed the fears of
the citizens to be without warrant.
Col w. E. Kay stated to The TIMES
that the original lease from the city
to the railroad provides that the foot
of one street must be lett open. This
one can be either J, K, L or NJ street.
Mr.. c. L, Parker, representing the in
terested citizens, informed Colonel
Kay yesterday that they preferred K
street. Col. Kay so wired Superin-

Credit Due to Newspapers.

An exchange says: eff the newspapers

1.-THE of the unfounded rumors set afloat
in a single week there would be social
revolution" Very true; or the founded
rumors either. Ii anybody is ever inclin-
ed to think that newspapers go out of the
way to hunt up scandal to publish, let him
listen to the gossip in stores, on the street,
at clubs, in private houses or at social
wherever men or women meet
and let their tongues loose,-an reflect
what kind of newspaper it would be
that gathered up and printed all the scan
DIAL that is currently reported and discussed
in the community. We do not mean sim j.
ly idle conjectures, but scandal generally
circulated and believed. Some of it would
make pretty interesting reading, too.
Newspaper men may, in their lust for
news, occasionally print things that had
better have been omitted. But look at
the oceans of it that they know of but do
not print-and wouldn't touch with a ten
foot pole. And yet, when newspaper
does offend in this matter, you shall hear
it condemned by hundreds who daily cir
culate and comment on ten times worse
stuff. Considering what rough, rag
ged and seamy old world this is, and what
lies just under The crust of society and is
constantly breaking through, we think
newspapers are entitled to some credit for
being so clean and decent as they are.

Inspection of Fertilizers.

The Maine agricultural experiment sta
ton is now sending out the second of the
bulletins on the inspection of fertilizers
for 1897. The bulletin issued in March
contained the analysis of the samples re-
ceived from the manufacturers. The per
cent. bulletin contains the analysis of the
samples collected in the open market by
the inspector.
The table comparing the percentages
guaranteed by the manufacturers with the
result of the analysis of the manufacture
er's samples and those collected by the
inspector in different parts of the State,
contain the figures of the greatest interest
to manufacturers as we'll as consumers.
'From these comparisons it is gratifying
to note that, as rule, the fertilizers are
we'll up in the minimum guarantee. The
comparisons indicate that the manufac-
turers, for the most part, do not intend to
do much more than make good the mini
mum guarantee and that is all that the
purchaser can safely expect
This bulletin will be sent to all who APP
ply to the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Orono, Me.

The Postal Savings System.
Bank Examiner Undertake Says IL Would be Bad
For the East,

Bank Examiner Timberlake, in his let
ter to bank presid ents and business men
in regard to the establishment of postal
savings system, says:
'The adoption of such system would
seriously affect the prosperity of all saw
ings and loan institutions, possibly
putting some of them out Of bust
ness. No private association can COM
pete with the national government in any
business. The provisions in the propos-
ed bill are such that but little of the
money collected would be invested in the
North or East. The friends of the bill
admit that all, for years, would be invest
ed in general government securities.
''Milions of capital would be taken
from the East and either centralized in
Washington, or invested in the West,
which would give that part of the coun-
try low rates of interest. The effect upon
business, by taking away SO much capital,
would be disastrous

From Across the Deep Sea.

SONG BY CHAs. E. HoDGDoN.
Oh, land of my birth, of thee do l sing,
IT'S with light, happy heart
That my fancies take wing.
How sweet art thy charms
In the land of the free,
To this poor homeless exile
From across the deep sea.
CHORUS.
Oh, Father in Heaven,
Thy blessing decree
Upon this poor exile
From across the deep sea.
Oh, land of my birth, of thee do l sing,
To thy teachings of freedom
Forever I'll cling.
Always free land
This country will be,
To this exile that's banished
From across the deep sea.
Oh, land of my birth, the land of the free,
My heart swells with pride
When thinking of thee.
The mother of Liberty,
From whom tyrants flee,
Always welcomes the exile
From across the deep sea.

The New Volume of St. Nicholas.

st. Nicholas, conducted by Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, enters upon the twenty fifth
year of its successful career as the lead
ing magazine for boys and girls with its
November issue. A remarkably varied and
attractive list of features has been secur-
ed for the coming year, including contri-
buttons by several of the foremost writer's
of the day.
Rudyard Kipling's first 'Jungle Sto-
ries" were written for st. Nicholas, and
this year he will contribute new series
of stories to the magazine, called 1.-The
Just-So Stories,' written in a new vein--
fantastic stories. Some stories, Mr.. Kip
ling says, are meant to be read quietly,
and some are meant to be told aloud.
Some are for rainy mornings and some for
long, hot afternoons, and some are for
bedtime. These stories of Mr.. kipling' S
are meant to be told "just-so''. and one
must not alter one single little word.
They are stories about animals, queer,
very queer animals.
Mr.. Frank r. Stockton will contribute
1.-The Buccaneers of Our Coast This
is series of narrative sketches in which
will be treated the origin, characteristics,
adventures, and exploits of that wild
body of sea- rovers, calling themselves

century ravaged and almost ruled the wa
tiers and shores of the West Indies.
Mr.. j. T. Trowbridge has written a
serial, "Two Biddicut Boys, and Their
Adventures With a Wonderful Trick
Dog" This is marked by his best quail
ties and is full of effective interest. A
lively story of track and field is ''The
Lakerim Athletic Club by Rupert
Hughes, which will tell of year of sports
carried out by a party of ''real boys"
Mr.. W. o. Stoddard writes stirring TO
nance of chivalry, "With the Black
Prince telling of the fortunes and adj
ventures of an English lad who fights at
the battle of Crecy, A fairy tale of sci
ence "Through the Earth" by Clement
Fezandie, is a serial of the Jules Verne

of scientist of the next century, who by
the enormously increased power of cleo
tricity succeeds in boring a hole through
the earth and sending boy in cigar
shaped car through the tunnel.
There will be the usual number of arti-
Giles of instruction and entertainment,
short stories, poems and jingles, as well
as hundreds of pictures by leading artists.

American Enterprise


The Right Hon. Charles T. Richie,
president of the London Board of Trade
made an important speech before the
Chamber of Commerce of Croydon, Nov.
sd, taking as his theme the decline of
British exports during the last ten months,
upon which he hung grave warning
against American competition, now ''oust-
ing British trade" Mr.. Richie after de-
claring that the Dingley tariff and the en-
cheering trade dispute were mainly re-
sponsible for the recent decline of exports
and after pointing out that England had
no weapons against the tariff, said there
was a great deal of talk in commercial
circles about the serious competition of
Germany, but he thought they were too
apt to overlook much more serious COM
petitor, the United States.
''The facts are serious,' he continued,
''and call upon us for the exercise of all
our powers to enable us to maintain our
position in the commercial world. There
is no doubt the United States are execut-
ing orders which ought to be executed
here. AS we all know, an American firm
obtained the contract for the central I'M
derground railway of London, as it's bid
was lower than those of the English con-
Germs, and it could deliver the supplies
three months ahead of the British tenders
Many important continental orders have
gone to America.
''The same is to be said of Egypt and
Japan, where the Americans are doing
work that Englishmen should have done.
In consequence of thelengineering dispute
many orders are leaving the country and,
unfortunately, these orders seldom re-
turn.
'America's successful competition is
due to her enterprise in embarking CAPT
tai, but it is yet more due to the freedom
her manufacturers enjoy of employing
the best machinery and working it in the
most economical manner, untrammelled
by the restrictions which have hampered
manufacturers here.

The Century Magazine, with its Novem-
Der number, enters upon its twenty
seventh year. During its long existence,
by reason of its many notable successes, it
has won an assured and commanding posi-
ton. During the coming year The Cen

as a magazine OF entertainment and as a
leader in art and thought.
Its pictorial features will be notable
and it will command the services of the
foremost artists, illustrators and engrav-
ers of this country and of Europe.

of its literary features can be attempted
now. DR.. Weir MITCHELL whose novel
of the American Revolution, Hugh
Wynne,' is the great success of the year.
has written a new story for the present
volume. 1t bears the piquant title: 1.-THE
Adventures of Francois: Fondling, Ad-
venturer, Juggler and Fencing master
during the French Revolution The tale
is full of romance and adventure. Mrs.
Burton Harrison contributes a new novel
of New York life, called "Good Ameri-
cans in which contemporaneous social
types and tendencies are brightly mirror
ed and described.
There will be a group of clever stories
about horses and people who like horses,
under the general title of s'Gallops." ga
Woman's "reminiscences of the French In
tervention in Mexico will be given in a
series of graphic and highly picturesque
papers by Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson.
Further contributions to the interesting
series of ''Heroes of Peace will be made

Stuart Phelps Ward, and others.

fury an unusual combination offer is made

Klondike Helps Seattle.

Mr.. William Fl. Lewis, an attorney of
Seattle, Wash, now in Boston, says:
The Klondike discoveries have made things
hum in our city. Seattle is at present en-
Joying such prosperity as she never ex-
perienced. This is not alone due to the
Klondike business. Our wheat crop this
year was tremendous, and brought big
prices. Our lumber, shingles, coal, fish
and fruit have likewise paid handsomely.
To this has been added the bulk of the
Alaska Quitting and supply trade, so
that nearly every business house, factory
or hotel in the city has been rushed night
and day to handle its increased business.
New concerns have moved in from San
Francisco, Tacoma, Portland and eastern
cities, and our population has increased
at least 20, 600 in four months.'
