Nearly all of the ice on the Penobscot

The bulk of last winters cut was sold

1t is usual for the price of ice on this
river to decline at this season of the
year, but now it is going the other
way. A Bangor dealer has received an
offer of 81 ton for all the stock he
has unsold. about 1000 tons, and ne
will accept, although it is said that
the price of ice is likely to go up to
$3.50 a ton, such is the scarcity of ice
elsewhere.

DO you desire to urinate often. and are
you compelled to get up frequently at
night to make water? Do you have pains
in the small Of the back? Does your
urine stain lineng Is there a scalding
pain in passing water, and is it difficult
to hold the urine back?" II the answer
is Yes to any of these questions. your
kidneys are diseased and decay has set
in. Ask yourself these questions. and
answer them.
There is another thing you can do,
Put some of your urine in a glass tum-
bier or bottle. and let it stand "a hours.
IL there is sediment or powder-like
substance at the bottom, or a cloudy ap
pearance, there is grave danger. Your

New York, April 21.-Thirty students of sociology from Yale university ar- rived from New Haven this morning. The students have come here to make a short study of the slums and crimi- nals of this city and are under the guidance of Professor Blackman of Yale, professor of Christian sociology. The students arrived at Blackwells s Island at meal time, when fifteen hun dred persons were being fed. Visits were then made to the hospitals, the penitentiary and the workhouse. A band made up of attendants of the prison played as the students boarded a boat for Wards Island and the stu dents responded with a Yale yell Luncheon was served on the green sward on Wards Island The male and female hospitals were visited on the sland A man who let the students stick pins in his flesh interested the party.

Admiral Mahterola, the commander of the Spanish naval forces in these wa ters. All the meetings are private, and nothing is allowed to be known con- cerning the conclusions arrived at. The Spaniards say patriotic demonstrations are being made in all the interior towns as we'll as in the insurgent camps, where, it is added, white flags have been hoisted in the vicinity of such camps by relatives of the insurgents, who have been carrying food and pres ents to the men in the field.
 The Comemrcio to-day prints a pat riotic article, during which it says: "The hour has come at last to unveil the situation. Every Spaniard is in his place, awaiting orders. The newspa- pers should remember Spain's history trusting to 1t for victory over Ameri- can injustice. The public spirit here is quiet, though the opposite is shown there Gin the United States), where the bitter sentiments are increased and have made us hate the Yankees and anxious to fight them" The local newspapers ridicule the idea of a blockade of Cuba, asking "where is the patriotism, which does not exist, of the Americans who have to offer $500 bounty for sailors?''

May be a Fatal Errnr.

London, April 22.--A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via Paris, says: Grave apprehensions are entertained in the highest government circles that the issue of war may be decided not by valor and enthusiasm and dogged perseverance, but by re- serves of victuals of necessity. The Spanish government believing that peace would be achieved, neglected to lay in sufficient provision of coal, de- spite the representations made to them by one or two far-seeing naval officers. Besides this, it is believed they never once inquired of the British or other neutral governments whether coal would be regarded as contraband of war. The result is said to be fatal one for the Spaniards, after the deci- sions of to-day.
 If, as I fear, events should demon- strate it's truth, the close of the war may also be the end not only of the liberal government but of much else which is infinitely more worthy of re- spect than any political party and which enjoys the sympathy of all Europe. The impression prevails among a few that Spain will win in q few weeks"

DEMONSTRATION AT PRINCETON,
Students Call at ex-President Cleveland's
 House and He Speaks.

Princeton, N. J., April 21-The great civil war took place on Princeton cam- pus tonight. One thousand students paraded through the town and about the campus and finally drew up in front of ex-President CleveIands home and with ringing cheers induced him to come out. The enthusiasm was un- bounded and MT. Cleveland made a speech, every sentence of which was loudly cheered. He said in part:
 "I suppose that this demonstration is an evidence of your patriotism in this critical hour of our nations his- tory. 1 am glad to see it. Stand by the country when she is right, and, am not so sure that we should not stand by her when she is wrong. Let us hope that in this crisis which is upon us our arms may sustain their prowess and that it may be demon- strated in after years that we were right. Stern duties face the American people to-day and let us hope that these duties may be performed in the same high way that our duties were performed in the preliminary stages of this trouble and in the days to come let us prepare ourselves for the proper performance on all ocasions of these duties, But so far as in us lies let us be conservative and righteous to the end" Loud hurrahs were given for the ex-president and the crowd of students took up their march again.

He will shake his mane and disperse the rest of the brute creation.'s

DEPARTURE or wooDFonD.
Large Crowd at the Depot-Order Main
 tained by Police.

tained by Police.
 Madrid, April 21.-4:30 p. m.-General Woodford arrived at the station about a quarter of an hour in advance of the hour at which the train was scheduled to leave. But the train started half an hour late, and during the interval Gen eral Woodford conversed with the rep resentatives of the foreign press and a number of private friends. An inn mense crowd gathered at the station, composed of all classes. A strong force of police and civic guards maintained order while amid the crowd moved a large number of private detectives A detachment of civil guards accompan- jed General Woodford to the frontier. The retiring minister maintained his usual calmness, but looked worn and fatigued.
 5:30 p. m.--When the crowd was thickest about him General Woodford fought his way through and approach ing Colonel Morel, the chief of police, shook hands with him cordially, thank ing him for his kindness and zeal in guarding the United States legation and his residence for so many months.
 When General Woodford took his seat in the train there was a stir among the spectators and rush to- ward the window of the carriage. The minister sat unconcerned and dignified. Senor Aguilera, the civil governor of Madrid, his gigantic figure rising head and shoulders above the crowd in a stentorian voice raised cheer, which was thrice responded to frantically by the crowd. "Viva Espana" resounded throughout the station until the train was fairly outside. This was not meant as a kind farewell but was an explo- sion of long pent up feelings of ven- geance. Outside the station Senor Aguilera addressed the crowd, coun- selling calmness and confidence in the government which, he said, would safeguard the honor of Spain The English flag is now flying over the American legation, which is still guard ed by the police.

BRITAIN,s GREAT PROSPERITY.
Budget Statement Made by Chancellor of
 the Excheqer.

London, April 21-Sir Michael Nicks- presented the budget statement in the house of commons to-day. He said the country was prosperous, and that the apex of prosperity had not yet been reached. The surplus, he added, amounted to 93,67S,000 of which sum s2,550,000 had been appropriated for public buildings. He also said the na- tional debt had been reduced by &C.,, eos, ,000. The revenue, the chancellor of the exchequer added, reached the gi- gantic total of G116,01 o00. The cus- toms revenues had increased G532, 900, of which tobacco represented E419,000. The excise duties showed an increase of ES40,0 ,000, of which sum the beer in- crease was G4S7000. In addition, the death duties had increased 1865, ,000 stamps had increased E300,00, and the income tax had increased G600,000.
 The chancellor said that the postoffice and telegraphic receipts had increased G410,000.
 Sir Michael then pointed out that the total expenditure exceeded the record, being G115,0S9,000 or G395, ,000 above the estimate, yet" he added, "the treas ury is not depleted and could still meet an unforeseen call" The chancellor estimated the expenditure for the com ing year at G106, s29 900 and the revenue at G10S,615000. In conclusion, the chancellor said; Such an event, so important towards us, as a probable war between members of the great family of civilized nations. must cause anxiety to us, however remote it might seem from anything connected with our own immediate interest. If war comes. we must all pray that it will be brief. (Cheers.) I have carefully considered the matter but can see no reason to consider that we need anticipate any, thing which will injuriously affect ma- terially our revenue or our expenditure. But, in any case, our resources and the soundness of our financial policy will enable us to bear successfully any strain, however great, that might be put upon the endurance or patriotism of our country"

THE SPANISH FLEET.
It Has Not Left the Cape de Verde
 Islands.

Washington, April 21.-During the session of the cabinet to-day telegrams were read to the effect that the Span ish fleet was still at the Cape De Verde Islands. On the question of privateer- ing the cabinet from the first has been a unit in opposition to it unless that course should be forced upon us by the action of Spain. The president is strongly opposed to this so-called sys- tenn of robbery on the high seas, and unless he is driven to that extremity in retaliation the legitimate commerce of the world, so fas as this country is concerned, will be as safe after actual hostilities begin as now.

REVENUE CUTTERS ON LAKES.
Their Services May be Lost by Attitude of Canadian Goyernment.


 Chicago, April 21.-The United States government may be deprived of the services of three first class revenue cutters on the lakes which have been ordered to join the Atlantic squadron. It is intimated that the revenue cutter Gresham, which is the first of the cut ters to start for the Atlantic will not be permitted to pass through the Ca- nadian canals without permission from the Canadian government. As hostili- ties will apparently break out before the Gresham can get through the canal it is regarded as improbable that Ca nadian government will give permis- sion, as it might be deemed contrary to the neutrality laws The question is further complicated by the fact that the Gresham, which must be cut in two before she can get through the Canadian canals, will have to be put together again
