North and South have been swept away

Whatever we do with them they must
not be returned to Spain. The time has
not yet arrived when we can safely and

wrest from Spain. Aside from Cuba we
can safely lay the matter away for fu-

MINISTRY OUT.
Resignation of the italian Cabi-
net.

Rome, June 18.-The resignation of the
italian ministry was announced in the
Chamber of Deputies today. Amidst con.
siderable excitement the Marquis di Rud.
mi said that after considering the parlia-
mentary situation and in order not to
prejudice a grave public question the
ministers had placed their designations
in the hands of the King, who reserved
the right of decision..relative to their accep.
lance, remark which was greeted with
mmmurs. Continuing, the Marquis said
the ministry would remain In office for
the present in order to attend to routine
business and safeguard public order.
He then begged the chamber to suspend
it's sittings.
The request was tnet with shouts OF
"No," "No."
THE premier then added that the cham

Rod Loud dissenting mu1nurs followed
this suggestion.
Senior Vendemini, Republican, de-
manded that tho sessions continue and
expressed lively regret for the recent
victims of the military government.
This caused loud protests from all sides
and the extreme Leftists rose and fran
tically cheered for the army.
The President of the chamber, who was
loudly cheered, angrily protested against
Signor Vendeminis remarks and Signor
5onnino, the former minister of the
treasury, moved a vote approving the
conduct of the "arny during the recent
unhappy events" (Applause.)
After the minister for war, Signor San
Mariana had made speech, eulogizing
the army, the request Of the Marquis di
Rudini that tine chamber suspend its
settings for the present was approved
and the House adjourned.
1t is generally thought that the resig-
nation of the ministry foreshadows grave
events.
The Marquis di Rudini repeated his
statements later, in substance, in the
Senate, where they were well received.
The Senate then adjourned without
debate

dent of the Ocean Park Association de.
MES the story that the association and the
boston & Maine are at loggerheads over
une pudding of a passenger station at
ocean Park, and that the work will Hnot
be done this year. he says the only ques-
ton is in regard to the dividing line be-
tween the company's land and that of the
association. Surveys are being made to
determine the location, and the building
of the station will be begun at once and
completed in season to accommodate the
traffic. The station will have main
waiting room, 1890 feet, and baggage
room 1sxS feet.
ocean Park never before looked so at
tractive," said Mr.. Webb. Considerable
building has been in progress there this
spring, and the association has made
some marked improvements. The fitting
up of park opposite the station of the
Beach railroad adds to the appearance of
that locality. We have extended Temple
avenue beyond the Boston & Maine track,
thus giving US a direct road to Saco.
This will be greatly appreciated by Bidde-
ford and Saco parties, who drive to the
beach.
The general conference of the Free Bap-
fist denomination in the United States
will hold its triennial session at Ocean
Park in August. This alone ought to be
sufficient to bring large crowd to that
resort. Delegates will be present from
the State and subordinate conferences all
over the country. President g. F.
Mosher of Hillsdale College will preside
at the business sessions.
