VISIT OF THE WHITE SQUADRON.
Majority of Citizens Wish to Have 1t
Come Here July 4th.

Portland expects a visit this summer
from the North Atlantic squadron but
just when that visit will be made seems
to be matter of speculation. The New
England fair has requested the secretary
of the navy to send the fleet here in Au-
gust, while the Portland city government
and majority of the citizens want the
fleet to come here on July 4th to .partici-
pate in the celebration. The Knights of
Pythias who hold three or four days en-
campment in Portland beginni ng the
first Wednesday in July have petitioned
the secretary to have the fleet come here
on July 4th, and remain during the week.
Secretary Long has written the managers
of the Knights of Pythias encampment
that the date of the fleets visit to Port
land has not yet been decided upon, and
will not be until June first. The Port
land city government and the committee
on the July 4th celebration are putting
in their best efforts to have the fleet here
on July 4th, and it is hoped that this may
be brought about.

 Patrolman Bowers Plucky Fight.
 Patrolman Charles Bowers had a lively tussle Saturday evening on Fair street while in the act of arresting James F. Clancy, who had taken too much bad whiskey The patrolman made 9 piucEy fight against odds and won
 Clancey's friends, who were deter mined that the officer should not take him to the lookup, began to assist him in his struggle with Bowers. The plucky patrol1nan beat them off, at the same time getting his prisoner nearer the signal box. Patrolmen Dargan and Lautenbach, who were in citizens clothes looking for suspecting vag- rants, appeared upon the scene when Bowers was in most need of help. They forced their way through the crowd. One of the men laid his hand upon Dar- gan's arm, but a gentle tip from the policeman's billy was sufficient to re veal the identity of the new corners. There was no more resistance and Clancy was landed in the lookup. He will be charged this morning with drunkenness and resistance. Clancy formerly lived in the house where the Ripple murder took place, but had re- gently taken rooms at 65 Fair street
 After the arrest Mrs. Clancy went to the police station. She had small child with her She said that the pro prietors of the lodging house had turn ed her out when he found that Clancy had been arrested. She went out of the station saying that she would go to the Associated Charities
