That Otis mystery makes "mighty in
teresting reading, and allows wide
field for fancy wild to roam. 1t seems
too bad to spoil such splendid mystery
by even suggesting that those stolen cat
tie went to Bangor not ION the hoof" but
in the back OF that covered cart. The
bloody trails are not hard to account for.
Perhaps il some OF the Bangor sleuths
will search diligently in the vicinity of
that abandoned camp, they will find the
cloven hoofs and horns and other parts of
slaughtered cattle that are not market
able.
A West Ellsworth woman who reports

be notified, but being woman, having no op-
portunity to visit the infested place TO study up
the subject; and moreover, havi no vote and
therefore no responsibility in regard to

troying army marched on while the voters and
law makers have shown their usual indifference
to what exists outside their little corner of the
world.
This is story about Felix. Our West
Franklin correspondent tells it: Felix is
Frenchman. He came here with Spen-
Ger x Mcdonald to shoe horses, mend
chains and carts, and to look after the
whole outfit, to pick up everyt hing that a
hundred men would throw down. He is
a good man, and has been in the employ
of Mr.. Spencer many years at the lum-
bering camp in the winter, at he farm in
summer. W hen they were done here
Felix went to the corner with the outfit.
One night recently about 10 o'clock, at the
house where Felix WAS acquainted the in
mates were aroused 10y loud knocking.

Correspondence.

OFFICE OF !
COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND
FISHERIES AND GAME.


| To the Editor of The American:
Our attention has been called to the
communication OF DIR. Phillips, in your
issue of July 20, relative to our decision
on the petition to order fishways in the
dams on Union river, but for his most re-
marksble and unaccountRble accusation
that we had prejudged the case, and were
acting not as commissioners, but as
counsel for the dam owners, we would not
| trouble You with any reply.
The facts will hardly bear the doctor
out in some of his statements. We went
to Ellsworth and carefully inspected five
OF the seven dams. We had no acquain
lance, so far as we know, with any of the
dam owners, and never met any of them,
and never had any communication wit h
any of them until the night of the hear
ing.
How we could be prejudiced in their
favor the doctor does not seem to make
quite clear The fact is we are bound to
be governed by the law which is as fol
lows:
1.-THE owner or occupant OF every dam or
other artificial obstruction in any river or
stream freouentes Nv salmon. sbad aIewiyes

By John J. Healy Who Has
Spent Six Years There.
S1OO,OOO,OOO YEARLY.
Is the Yield of Gold Which He
Predicts as Soon
As Quartz Machinery is Placed
in Operation.
Will Turn Out $3O,OOO,OOO
the Coming Year.

Chicago, Nov.3.-Capt. John J. Healy,
vice president of the North American
Transportation & Trading company,
who has just returned from a six years
sojourn in the Klondike, in an interview
today said: 1.-THE truth about the Yu-
kon country is that it will yield about
$50, ,000, 900 between now and next OctO-
ber and with the completion of govern
ment roads and the operation of quartz
mining machinery the output will
amount to one hundred million dollars
in gold annually. In less than five years
100, 600 whites will be at work in the
Yukon and a hundred years of steady
labor will not exhaust profitable mining
in Alaska.
1T is absolutely impossible to give a,
fair and adequate idea of the Yukon
gold fields by description. That can only
be gained by actually seeing the dig
gingS- I weigh my words well when
say that if the capitalists of the world
could see with their own eyes the opera
tiOns now going on there, they would be
glad to toss into the laps of the officials
of this one company 10000, 900 for its
holdings alone.
Now the question arises: How are
these statements to be recOnciled with
the hard luck tales brought out of the
Yukon by the men who have brought
with them only a few thousand dollars
in dust and nuggests? Whether it is
this: Scores of men who have gone to
that country don't know pay dirt when
they see it. They are farmers and
greenhorns and cannot set a sluice box,
or make rifle to save their lives. A
sluice box must have a certain pitch, or
the washings will not pan out Some
are quick to catch on to these things,

TRIBUTE TO MAINE DEAD.
Americans and Cubans Place Flowers
on Their Graves.

Havana, Nov. 3-Yesterday morning
General Wade and General Butler of
the United States evacuation committee
went to the Colon cemetery to lay flow
ers on the graves of the victims of the
Maine disaster. In the course of the
afternoon a number of other officers
visited the cemetery.
Just after Generals Wade and Butler
had left the Hotel TrOcha for the ceme-
terry, carrying the floral crown made by
the committee of young Cuban girls,
who had asked the privilege of paying
this tribute to the dead a carriage was
driven up to the hotel with representa-
tiveS of the Cuban club who brought an
immense floral cross to lay upon the
graves. On learning that Generals
Wade and Butler had already gone to
the cemetery, the Cubans followed and
overlook them in time to place both Of
ferings together.
Captain Calhoun and Lieutenant
Barnes, aides attached to Gen. Buffers
staff, arrived on the Orizaba and are
now at the Hotel Trocha. They brought
three horses for Gen. Butler. Lieut.
Hampton also arrived by the same
steamer.
In pursuance of the oral agreement
reached at the last joint session of the
evacuation commissioners, the Ameri-
can commissioners have sent to the
Spaniards a note naming January 1
next as the day upon which the Span
1sh evacuation must be formally ac-
COmphshed.

STONE THE TRAINS.
Negro Soldiers Resent Ejectment
From the Ladies' Car.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 9.-Three
private soldiers of the Eighth United
States volunteer infantry, colored inn
munes, camped at Chickamauga park,
were elected from the ladies car of the
Chattanooga Rapid Transit company's
line which runs to the park, by the
conductor and trainmen last night. The
negroes were very disorderly and ugly
about it and when they reached the
park they went to their camp and gath
cred together several hundred of their
comrades and went to the station at
Lytle, where they began stoning the
train just as it was pulling out for the
return trip to the city. They broke all
the windows out of the cars and serious
Iy injured brakeman. Fortunately there
were few passengers aboard.
Afterwards they stoned another pas
senger and three freight trains which
passed the station, doing great damage.
They have declared that they will stone
every train on the road Until they are
allowed to ride in the ladies' car. This
car was put on during the summer for
the use of officers and ladies, and no
privates, even white soldiers, were al
lowed to ride in it. The negroes re-
fused to listen to their officers, but Gen.
BOynton states that there will be no
further trouble.

PLATT MAKES DENIAL
Of Democratic Charges of Lukewarm-
ness on His Part.

New York Nov 3.-Senator t. G.
Platt has given out the following state
ment:
The Democratic campaign man
ayers at the Hoffman house seem to be
out of campaign matter. Before Col
Onel Theodore Roosevelt was nominated
sioners attempted to question his elig1-
bility. They quickly dropped that issue.
They then announced they would make
an attack upon the judiciary as one OF
their issues. That did not turn out
right. They then muzzled all of their
candidates on the money question. Not
a single Democratic candidate has peen
allowed to say single word on TINS
vital issue of the campaign. That issue
has proved disastrous to the Democrats.
$50 utterly demoralized are our Dem
ocratic adversaries that the latest issue
announced by them is a personal SLAM
der against me. They have caused it to
be circulated that am luke warm
to the candidates of the Republican
state ticket headed by Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt. would not pay the
slightest attention to such a slander II
it were not for the fact that our adver-
sarieS have peddled this story all over
the state. Tt is a baseless, slanderOuS
falsehood. The Republican party's or
ganization in the state and in Greater
New York from the most important
official connected with 1t to the hum
blest man in the ranks, has been work
ing day and night faithfully and Loyalty
for the election of the Republican state
the legislature and the Republican can
didates for congress. The sound money
allies of the Republican party in this
fight have also worked as they never
worked before. The business men, the
wOrkingmen and all classes of citizens
are determined that Colonel Roosevelt
and his associates on the state ticket
and all other candidates for office, who
stand upon the sound money principles
laid down in st. Louis, in 1896, shall be
elected on next Tuesday. Colonel Roose-
velt's election and the election of his
associates on the state ticket is as
sured beyond the shadow of a doubt
1.-The legislature will be Republican
by a good majority on joint ballot and
a great delegation of Republican con-
gressmen will be sent to Washington
from New York state to sit in the Fifty
sixth session of the house of representa-
tives.
Finally, and with fervor, I wish to
say again that the Democratic slander
that am luke warm to the election of
the Republican state ticket demon
strates the utterly demOralized cOndi-
tion of the Democratic campaigners. Tt
is too ridiculous and too untrue for fur
ther comment -
