OPENING OF ATLANTIC AND ST.
LAWRENCE RAILROAD.
20 the Editor Of the Press:

o the AutUOf o. tRe PTeS3:
In order to make the record clear in re-
gard to the opening OF the Atlantic q st.
Lawrence railroad on the 4th OF july
1916, would say that as boy l had n
strong desire tc be present atsthat time
and secure part of the first shovelful OF
dirt that was thrown up towards the
building of the road.
Accordingly / was on hand, and pressed
my way through the crowd and stood
close to Judge VIM. P. Preble, the Presi-
dent of the road, and at the proper time,
the genial president with his face beaming
with delight, uncovered his head, and
O. plated or bright ne " steel shovel was
handed to him and amid the shouts of
the immense audience, he took up the
first shovslful of the soil and threw the
same into the wheelbarrow. At that
moment, standing there with q paper
bag, ! took a double handful of the soil
from the first shovelful, and holding on
to the same backed out of the crowd,
placed the soil in the bag and carried it
home and kept it for many years.
After years had passed away in clean
ing house., much to my disgust, the help
round the house found "bag of Dirt
"a nd threw it out OF doors.
In this connection would | say that but
short distance from the crowd a hole
had been drilled in the ledge and charged
With powder. AS the shouts went up,
the fuse set on fire, and not being covered
in as good shape as it should have been,
the rocks and timbers flew in the air.
The crowd scattered in all directions, not
understanding what the trouble was at
the same time the tugs and steamboats,
in the harbor blew their whistles and
rang their bells, and the opening was
completed.

Washington, July 6. "A special dispatch
via Port Antinio, July 6, says after the
destruction of the Spanish feet some $50
men on the Maria Teresa were placed as
prisoners on the Harvard. For some
reason not yet ascertained, these men
mutinied. The officers of the crew were
not unprepared, however, and the
muniGineers were fred upon. Six Span
were wounded. This taught the Spaniards
lesson and restored quiet.
Secretary Long says that the navy de-

Washington, July 6-The annexation
of Hawaii is now accomplished so far as
the legislative branch of the government
is concerned. Quite unexpectedly the
resolutions providing for the annexation
of the islands were brought to vote in
the Senate late this afternoon and they
were passed by the decisive vote of AZ to
81. Early in today's session of the Sem
ate conferences of the leaders on both
sides of the chamber were held and
tacit agreement was reached that vote
should be taken tomorrow or Friday at
latest. The opponents OF annexation
practically had concluded their argument
and as they had no desire to keep the
Senate in session by purely dilatory tac-
tic, they announced their willingness that
a vote should be taken as soon as Mr.
Pettigrew and Mr.. Allen had finished
their speeches.
Neither MIR. White nor Mr.. Pettigrew
spoke at great length. MIR. Allen decided
to eliminate q Fart OF the matter he had
prepared aud at 4l5 he completed his
speech.
1t was evident that vote was at hand.
The word was passed swiftly through the
corridors and committee rooms md in
q few minutes every senator at the CAPT
toll was in his seat.
The galleries nlled rapidly and mem
bers of the House came hurriedly to tire
Senate chamber. The test vote came upon
an amendment offered by Mr. Whita Of
California. 1t was rejected by vote OF
40 to 20.
Amendment after amendment was
offered, but the advocates of the resolu-
ton stood solidly together, gaining rath-
er than losing strength on successive
votes.
Finally at $50 p. M, the resolutio ms
themselves in precisely the form in which
they were received from the House were
reported to the Senate aud the roll call
began.
When the Vice President announced the
vote by which the resolutions were
passed, a tremendous wave of applause
swept through the galleries. A sharp
discussion WAS caused by the introduction
of a resolution early in the session tender
ing the thanks of Congress to Commodore
Schley for destroying Admiral Cervera's
fleet. The resolution was sent to the
naval affairs committees.
The Senate eoncurred IN gthe House
amendment 10 thenngeneral de1oieoneysbill,
thus passing the last of the appropriation
measures.
The Portland daily press., 1898-07-07

Washington, July 6 Soon after the

to make a thorough investigation Of the

Mr.. Frye of Maine reported from the
COMMITTEES on commerce d bill granting

that the vessel shall not engage in the
constwise trade, was passed.
Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota, offered
the following resolution rendering the
thanks of Congress to Commodore Schley
for destroying Admiral Cervara's squad
ron and asked that it be referred to the

Resolved, That the thanks of Congress
and the American people are hereby
rendered to Commodore Winfield S.Schley
of the Us. naval forces operating against
the Spanish forces in Cuban waters for
highly distinguished conduct in conflict
with the enemy, as displayed by him in

harhor of Santiago de Cuba, July, 1898.
Section 2.-That the thanks of Congress
and the American people are hereby ex-
tended through Commodore Sehley to the
