funds for the support Of ths striking cot
ton mill hands in those towns. The COM
mittee is composed of Michael MCCARTHY,

mittee paint dismal picture of Bidde-
ford and Saco. Everything there is dead,
they say, as the towns are dependent up
on the cotton mills and all of these are
closed. Nearly seven weeks ago. 5000
hands, men, women and children. went
out, leaving fifteen mills belonging to
tho Pepperell, Laconia and York corpora
lions without operatives. The strike was
caused by the general cut in cotton mill
wages, the Riddeford and Saco hands, 1t
is stated, suffering a cut varying from
ten to fourteen per cent.

Dor people have been discussing the pos
sibility of Spanish gunboat coming into
the bay and blowing up the costly sum.
mer residences on the island. Such a
| thing in case of war between this country
andsSpain might occur, as much wealth
could be destroyed in Bar Harbor within
al very short time. The water is deep
enough to allow any ship in the word
to float into the harbor within few feet
of the shore, and with no means OF de-
fence at hand the beautiful town of Bar
Harbor and its millionaire estates are
wholly exposed to an attack from an enc
my. Bar Harbor, however, could
be easily defended l,y means of torpedoee
and necessary batteries could be planted
at Schooner Head, ON the Porcupine ISL

and bay.
