REHOBOTH BAKE.
Annual Affair Of the Antiquarian
Society.


Yesterday occurred the gala day In
old Rehoboth. for it was the occasion of
the annual clambake of the Antiquari-
an Society and all the roads leading
10 the centre OF the town were crowded
with vehicles OF every description, for
tie day on which the bake is held each
year is set down in the Rehoboth cal
endar as a general holiday
The Antiquarian Society is composed
OF the most influential residents OF the
town and owns hall-the Con- memo
rial-which was presented the society
by the late Darius Goff. the braid and
silk manufacturer of Pawtucket. The
size OF the bake may be imagined
when IL is known that on the stones
were placed 100 bushels OF clans, 1000
pounds OF sweet potatoes, 1000 pounds
of fish, 1000 ears Of corn and 1000 pounds
of dressing, all of which was baked at
the same time. There were LIS water
melons cut up and placed on the tables.
At the first table 400 people sat down,
and all acknowledged that Ii was one
of the best bakes which IL had been
their pleasure to enjoy.
After all had eaten enough. dancing
was commenced and was kept up all
the afternoon, there being no end 10
the general gaiety OF the scene. Every
body had glorious time, and when the
time arrived to break up IL was with
evident regret that the visitors turned
their steps homeward.

Jcrnegan Works atLubec,
Me-, Started Up.
RYAN STILL HAS FAITH.
He Defies Anyone to Make a State
ment Against the Plant.
SAYS HE KNOWS THE PROCESS.

The machinery of the Electrolytic
Marine Salts Company, at Lubec, Me-,
is running again for the first time since
A. N. Pierson closed plant No. /.
Under the personal supervision of A.
b. Ryan, president OF the company,
three OF the famous accumulators have
been set at work and the dynamo
started.
Mr.. Ryan said that he still had faith
the process was all right, and he deSed
any one to make a single statement
against the plant that he could prove.
When asked what he was now doing
Mr. Ryan said that. he was extracting
golu from sea water.
1t is evident that he is hard at work
among the acids and chemicals, for one
hand Is badly burned with nitric acid
and there are marks on his face where
the same acid has touched the flesh.
In regard TO Mr.. Fisher. he said that
the directors were not especially exer-
cised about finding the missing promo
tor, In fact. IL he wished, he believed
he could locate the man without much
trouble, but he knew as much about
the secret process as did either Fisher
or Jernegan. and the presence of these
men was by no menas essential to the
success Of the enterprise.
A. N. Pierson, former manager OF
construction at plant No. 2, returned
from his home in Connecticut Satur-
day, and will stay i'm Lubec until the
experiments have been carried on long
enough to prove without question the
usefulness or uselessness of the pro-
cess.
Mr.. Pierson feels as though he had
had enough of the "Klondike," and
will be glad when he can go back TO
his home.
One Of HIS friends here. a poor man.
mortgaged his property and invested
5000 In stock. When the crash came II
bade fair to ruin him. but Mr. Pierson
sent him his own carriage horse. a |
handsome animal. that was worth |
more than the whole sum he had in |
vested.

GOVERNOR ON THE MESSAGE.
Had Read Only Part of 1t When He
Declined to Talk.

Governor Mount yesterday expressed him
self regarding the Presidents message. He
believes it is a safe, conservative, states
manlike document He thinks the President,
in reciting the stand of Jackson and Cleve-
land, shows that his own course in the pres
ent instance is well supported by prece-
dents. When the Governor was asked to
give expression on the message Monday
afternoon, he declined. He said yesterday
that he had read an account of it in an af-
ternoon paper and he was far from satisfied
with the message as he saw it. On picking
up the Journal yesterday morning, however
he had only seen the first part of the mes
sage, which merely recited the causes lead
ing up to the present imbroglio, in the aft
ernoon paper. The full measure impressed
him in an entirely different light. He was
convinced then that President Mckinley in
tended to stop the barbarous war in Cuba
by forcible Intervention.
The Governor readily sees the wisdom of
refusing to recognize the Independence of
the Cubans. They have no stable govern
ment and If the Spaniards We're driven out
of Cuba at once the islanders would proh-
ably have a new revolution every morning
before breakfast. The United States cam
not afford to recognize any government or
the island unless it shows itself to be the
choice of the people themselves and stable
as we'll

THE STAFF INVITED, TOO
GRAND ARMY ASKS GOVERNOR TO
IT'S STATE ENCAMPMENT.
RumOrs as to Exceptions Taken by
the Old Soldiers to the Gold
Lace Set Aside.

1t has been talked through the newspa-
pers and commented generally that the
Department of Indiana, q. A. r., was not
on friendly terms with the Governors staff,
and that the latter would not be invited to
attend the annual encampment, which is to
be held in Columbus next month. 1t was
said that the veterans do not like the lavish
gold display on the uniforms of the MEM
bers of the staff, nor the alleged superior
bearing which goes with it. All this talk is
set at naught by the acceptance of an invi-
tation by the Governor in behalf of himself
and staff to attend the encampment. Gov
error Mount received the following letter,
signed by Department Commander James
s. Dodge and Assistant Adjutant General
Smock:
1.-THE Department of Indiana, Grand Army
of the Republic, extends to you, and
through you to the members of your staff,
a cordial invitation to attend the nineteenth
annual encampment of the Department of
IL diana, Grand Army of the Republic, at
Columbus, Ind, on May Is and 10, 1898 We
shall feel highly honorcd to have you par
ticipate with us in the parade on that occa-
sion, and such members of your staff as
arc members of the order to attend the ses-
sions of the encampment.
Tho following is the Governors reply to
the invitation:
II beg to acknowledge receipt of your
cordial invitation extended to myself and
members of the staff, to be in attendance at
the nineteenth annual encampment of the
Der artment of Indiana, Grand Army of the
Republic to be held at Columbus May 17-20
next, to participate in the parade. / thank
you for your esteemed consideration, and
assure you that it is my intention to be
present. After comforting with members of
the staff / am also inclined TO add the as
surance that they will be present in body,
as it is the consensus, OF opinion among
them that nothing should be left undone to
manifest the respect and honor which they
feel for the old soldiers who SO nobly and
successfully fought in the armies of the
North for the preservation of the Union

would be asked for two regiments each.
and other States one regiment each, and
some, as III our own case, a battery in adj
dition TO the one regiment. 1t was said that
these troops would be called at once, placed
in camp under rigid discipline, and made
ready for an active service, which may not
commence before the LIST Of October; that
is, if it shall be found necessary TO send
troops 10 the Island of Cuba, as it would
not be considered safe to have them there
before that date. omitted TO state in the
proper connection that the matter OF max
ing up regiment will be left entirely to
your judgment. You may call a regiment
as It is at present organized or form one as
you may see lit.
The matter referred to in my telegram
that the authorities were still hopeful that
war might be averted through the declara-
ton of an armistice-waS only partially re-
allied, as you have been given to under
stand since through the press, as it did not
go to that degree of satisfaction which it
was hoped it might.
Trusting my mission has been satisfac-
tory To you, and the assurance which I was
given by the honorable secretary of war
that Indiana will be well cared for, convey
ing the appreciation of General Alger of the
patriotic disposition of yourself and the
people OF Indiana, and holding myself ready
for your further requests or commands,
am, respectfully yours"

The written report of Col w. Il. Durbin,
who went as special commissioner for
Governor Mount to Washington, was filed
in the executive cffice yesterday. Mr.. Dur
bin brought the report down from Anderson
In person and had long talk with the Gov
ernor, supplemental to the report. He
formed the opinion, while at Washington,
that war cannot be averted Mr.. Durbin's
written report is as follows:
AT your request. on the morning of the
18th, l started Tor Washington city, arriving
there on the Sth, and placed in the hands or
the secretary of war your letter and request
for q better equipment of our artillery com
panies in the matter OF guns, laying stress
upon the exchange of guns now held by
the companies for those IN possession OF the
schools at Greencastle and Lafayette. The
difficulty in carrying out the suggestion was
that the guns were in possession of the col
leges by act Of Congress 1 was told that
they would have 10 be returned to Wash
ington or placed somewhere at the disposal
of the government before they could be re-
issued. j am frank TO say this point was
not made clear TO my satisfaction, but the
secretary of war said to me that if it was
decided to use those guns that only the one
battery which would be asked for at first
Will be equipped with them, the remainder
held for use in other directions, He gave
me positive assurances that the troops
called from Indiana would have the best
guns and equipment at the disposal of the
government. and i was led TO believe that
there are better guns than those in pos
session or the schools mentioned. 1t is more
than likely that ether guns would be given
them when they shall have been located in
camp.
while the secretary of war did not care
to promulgate it officially, / was requested
TO communicate 10 you that the first call
upon Indiana would he for one regiment
of infantry and one battery of artillery
and that the National Guard would be pre-
ing, and that the selection of the regiment
and battery would be left to yourself. There
must follow an enlistment INTO the United
States service. This will be voluntary, and
not compulsory, and If. by reason of bust
ness connections. or any other good reasons,
a member IF the Guards should decide not
TO enlist. IL is not TO be held against the
Individual. but he will be permitted to step
aside honcrably, and with no reflection
cast upon him. In order that as little par

The average now we suppose is about
