which city is there the greater likelihood
of such an unusual expenditureP
Farmers of ward one, two, three, and
seven, please make minutenof this.
You will probably find the. .anti-annexa-
tionists we'll organized each with his little
canvassing book, ready to enlist you; bNt
as for his equipment OF reasons, we'll, he
will undoubtedly have some; but Il does
not follow that all which is for Portland's
advantage must be Instantaneous to
Deering. "In union there is strength"
One of the most fruitful grounds for
criticism of the report is that another
ward was not made of portions of wards
seven in Portland and seven in Deering,
thus making ten wards in all. But such
a division could have found little justiti-
cation, and would have leGa TO difficulties
and complications when it came to the
election OF the one representative by the
section now Deering, and the six BY the
Portland section, az the law provides un-
til the next apport1onment she'll be made;
besides, such a division of Deering must
have had a tendency to disturb her
proverbial harmony Of action and feeling.
The sentiment in favor of annexation
has certainly been increasing rapidly in
Deering since the facts disclosed before the
commission have become generally
known. The writer has met many a
doubtful one, who has heretofore been a
staunoh and outspoken anti-annexation-
ist. A list of the Deering petitioners for
the commission would, if space permitted
be edifying.
In Monday PRESS appeared several
interviews with Deering citizens, in one
of which Mayor Davis says, Had Deer
ing reckoned her public buildings as as
sets as Portland did then our debt would
be much smaller than it really is. :"
His Excellency is mistaken. Portland
did not reckon her public buildings, nor
did the commissioners do so for her.
De, rlngs net debt is slightly larger in
proportion than Portland s net debt when
the available assets alone are deducted,
without deducting anything for Port
lands numerous public buildings, insti-
tuUions. parks, and large amount of city
property and fire equipments. 1t is I'M
fortunate that such an erroneous state
ment Of facts should gain currency COM
ing from 80 high source.

AFTER THE LIQUOR SELLERS.

Yesterday forenoon for two or three
hours, several representatives of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union were
in consultation with Mayor Randall and
Marshal Sylvester. The ladies produced
a list Of people in Portland who have
paid special tax to the United States in
ternal revenue officers.
They argued that, by law, the fact that
these people hold United States license
Is prima facie evidence that they are en-
gagged in the sale of Intoxicating liquor.
The conference was for the purpose of
ascertaining II measures cannot be taken
to proceed against all these persons who
have paid the United States tax. 1t is
not known what conclusion was reached

PERU,s THREATENING ArrrrUDE.
Possible Purchase of Warshtps fn Eu- l pe-Antt-American Feeling.

Possible Purchase of Warshtps tn Eu-
 ope-Antt-American Feeling.
 New York, Aug. Ion the Panama liner Advance which reached this port to-day was Commodore Carlos Ferry ros of the Peruvian navy, who is en route to Paris for the purpose, it is said, of purchasing warships for the Peruvian navy. Rumors had been cur rent in Panama prior to July 21, when Commodore Ferryros arrived there from Callao concerning a strong agita- tion throughout Peru against the Unit ed States owing to difficulties between the two countries existing since 1860. There was some significance in the ut terances of President Paula at the opening of the Peruvian congress last Thursday. He said that the foreign relations of the government were friendly with the exception of an issue between Peru and the United States.
 He added that Peru had been com pelled to accept arbitration under somewhat vexatious conditions in or der to avoid a rupture. During the height of the anti-United States feeling in Peru there was considerable talk about North America being unable to protect it's Pacific coast line on account of the Spanish war and that Peruvian demonstration there about might con- pei the United States to modify her de- mands. It was also hinted that secret agents had been sent to Europe for the purchase of war vessels and that an important move might be made at an early day. These rumors were par tially confirmed by Commodore Ferry ros' admission that he was on his way to Europe to purchase warships No little excitement was caused in Central America when the information that Peru was taking steps to strengthen her navy became known.

The men met at 122 pounds and White ought to have been given the decision, as he undoubtedly earned it. During the last three rounds Smith took des- perate chances and fought wildly, while White kept his temper and never lost his head. Dave Sullivan was at the ringside to challenge the winner and will deposit $1,00O tomorrow to bind match with White.

THE RECTOR REMOVED.
Had Taken Sides fin a
 Family Scandal.

Monticello, N. r., Aug. 1-Rev. Da- vid T. Howell, rector of the Episcopal church, Monticello, N. Y, was removed from that charge yesterday by Bishop Potter of New York city. In April MT. Howells wife had him arrested for as- sault and battery, for which he was sentenced to three days in jail or pay $500. He took the three days in jail When he was released Mrs. Howell brought suit against him for non-sup- port and alimony, and received an or der for $10 week and S100 counsel fee, none of which has been paid by the rector Mrs. Howell then brought suit for $75,0o0 damages against Mrs. Jennie Green, wealthy member of MT How els congregation, for alienation of her husbands affections. The people in the church had taken sides and the bishop thought it best to remove the rector.

m'DUFFIE's GREAT RIDING.
Lowers Worlds Records for Ten to
 Twenty Miles.

Boston, Aug. 1,-J. A. McDuifie won
 his seventh consecutive victory of the
 season by defeating Edouard Taylore
 in a twenty-mile paced match race at
 also secured all the competitive records
 from ten to twenty miles inclusive, and
 lowered the worlds record for the dis
 tance of 35:1S 1-5 (held by Tom Linton) to 34:56. Taylore made plucky race. leading for nine miles and breaking the worlds competitive records from one to five miles inclusive. Taylore reeled off the twenty miles in 35:1S, just one-fifth
 of a second inside of Linton's record.
 Taylore's pacemakers did not have the speed of McDuffie's and the pick-ups were not as clean as those made by the
 national track team. There were no accidents to mar the work of Taylore' s teams, but they lacked in speed and training.
 One of McDuffle's teams was disabled
 on the turn into the back stretch in the | first lap of the tenth mile, but the | plucky rider forged ahead, riding the length of the back stretch unpaced, and tackled on behind the Tenzeler quint on the turnout of the stretch. It was a l magnificent exhibition of speed and strength on the part of McDuffie, con- sdering the killing pace he had been | following. It was one of the most ex- l citing races ever pulled off on an Amer | ican track, and ten thousand spectators | cheered themselves hoarse at the work of their favor1te. At the start McDuf- | f1e's high gear got under way slowly and Taylore got slight lead, but Mo-
 Duffie soon got down to work and for the first nine miles, although Taylore | led, the pace was furious and McDuffie was slowly but surely overriding him. | On the first lap of the tenth mile Me Duff1e passed his rival and from that | time to the end of the race Taylore was l unable to get nearer to him than ninety yards.

The Sentiment tn Germany Toward America Grossly Misrepresented.


 Berlin, Aug. 1.-In view of the de- plorable fact that the attitude and sen timent of both the German officialdom and populace have been, and still are, grossly misrepresented in a large por- tion of the American press, have un- dertaken to obtain some undues- tionable information, from competent quarters, on this matter. I have asked Andrew D. White, the diplomatic rep resentative of the United States in Ger many, for an explicit statement, and Mir. White was kind enough to grant my request in the most satisfactory manner. Another valuable statement of a highly official character was fur nished to me in the German foreign office.
 These two statements leave no room for the slightest doubt that the official relations between the two countries are the very best. From the beginning the German government has maintained the strictest neutrality--in fact, a benevo- lent neutrality for the United States. The vast majority of the German popu- lace is decidedly friendly disposed to the Americans Only the Agrarians and the anti-Semites show a defiant atti- tude. There are, to be sure, quite a number of journals which have pub lished unfavorable criticism on the American warfare; but this is of no meaning whatever, those papers only having in mind to keep up their right to criticise.' which is, as generally known, an essentially German peculi- arity. Andrew D. White said to me verbally:
 "The relations between the German and American governments have been, and still are, excellent. As a simple matter of fact no person acquainted with the matter will deny that the Ger man government has treated ours with fairness or claim that it has been want ing in courtesy to our government or to it's representative in Berlin. There is no exception to this statement As to German people at large. I am satisfied that the substantial thinking part of them are on the whole friendly to America I am receiving letters every day which indicate this. Of course, there has been on the part of consid- erable number natural sympathy with Spain, as a weaker power fighting a stronger one; quite likely. too, a con- siderable portion of landed proprietors and of leading manufacturers have had preiudices against the United States caused by what they have considered interference with their prosperity; and it must be confessed that a very large majority of the German newspapers have been more or less hostile to the United States. But it is perfectly evil dent that German sentiment is improv- ing in this respect every day, as the real character of the struggle is more and more clearly seen.
 ''There have been unquestionabIy | some provocations from the American side: some of our boosters and tall takers have been taken too seriously ,1ContinUd on Fifth Page.)

HAT4N4'S AWFUL PLIGHT.
Starvation Tightening Its Fangs on PeopIe-Death Rate Great.

London, August 2.-The Havana cor respondent of the Times in a letter dated July describes a condition of Growing indignation" He says: Though Havana is still quiet, extraor- dinarily, ominously quiet, as calm before a storm, there is an increasing feeling against the governments deceit in hiding the truth and spreading false news, apparently with the intention of leaving the people to the mercy ot their enemies. Slowly starvation is tighten ing it's fangs on the people. The bulk of the population would already have starved but for the supply of pineap- ples and bananas. The death rate is extraordinarily high here and still worse in other parts of the island In some settlements half the reconcen- trados have died since the war was de- cIared"
