The unknown man who was found lying
beside the railroad track in Brookfield
suffering from internal injuries evidently
received by being struck by train, still
lies al the City Hospital In an, uncon-

Thus far there has not been a single ray
OF light shed on his identity The ali-
thorities at the hospital say that no one
has made Inquiries concerning him, and
that they have no clue as to who the un-
fortunate man may be. He is suffering
from severe internal injuries and his re-
covery is doubtful. At the time he was
found he. was bleeding from one Of his
ears and one Of his feet was badly
crushed.
From papers that We're found in his
pocket and from the lining Of his hat it is
believed by the police that he belongs in
Springfield.

Commodore Schley signaled the Oregon

be penetrated. We went in and did the

Deafening Applause Greeted the
Speaker When He Appeared.
HIS B RIEF S EE G 81

PORTLAND, Me-, August 2.-Ths repub-
licans of the first congressional district
held their convention here today. After
preliminary business the name of Thomas
B. Reed was presented to the convention,
and he was nominated by acclamation,
amid much enthusiasm.
Later Mr.. Reed appeared on the floor OF
the hall. He was greeted with deafening
applause, which prevailed until Mr. Reed
began to speak. Then some one shouted:
Take the platform
NO." said Mr.. Reed, "let me have my
own way once" and the convention broke
into laughter.
Reeds Rrfef Address.
Mr. Reed then spoke as follows:
Il am very grateful for your continued
kindness to me, and being in Portland II
is not unsuitable for me to come here ana
say
Il have no other purpose than this: A
newspaper the other day announced that
l would come here and open the campaign.
That is not SO. l shall not open any cam
paign, for the simple reason that there
seems to be no campaign to open.
In this district there appears to be thus
far great harmony in both parties as to
the great issues of the past, and l Shall
leave to somebody else the task of dis
turbing it. All over the country also there
knew less of it in all the years in which 1
have known of such things. To me this
seems fortunate for the country. l do not
refer to the war alone. The war is taking
care of itself and seems likely to be soon
finished by the fighting qualities of our
soldiers; qualities not diminished by thirty
three years of peace, and by the skill Of
our naval gunners, engineers and sailors,
which skill the general education of our
people seems to have wonderfully increas-
ed The unfaltering courage of both SOL
dfers and sailors is q cause of pride to
every American.
The problems after the war will be the
most troublesome and will demand the
most earnest efforts of us all. For my
part, l hope that all these problems may
be worked out consistently with out time
honored and dearly-bought institutions and
with the traditions of our wise forefathers
Returning to the purpose for which /
came here, l renew my thanks to you for
your continued and unvarying good will
Ihat good will, permit me to say, has not
consisted half so much in bestowing and
continuing to bestow on me a position of
distinction, as 1t has in the large liberty
you nave always given me in interpreting
your wishes. l am proud to say that that
consideration is not the characteristic OF
my district, but of the whole state of
Maine" =.
After adopting resolutions indorsing Mr
Reed and indorsing the declaration of prin-
cipies made by the republican state conysn-
lon last June the convention adjourned

Arrangements have been comnleted for
handling all the mail matter in this city
Intended for the soldiers and citizens in
Porto Rico. Superintendent Beavers of the
salary ard allowance division has been
formulating the plans, and the local post
office Is about ready to handle the mail.
1t is believed that the large quantities of
mail intended for our new possession will
make it necessary to increase the working
force, and arrangements have been COM
pieted for putting as many men to work
as the necessities demand 1t Is not known
yet from what point the mail will be dis
patched, but 1t will be either from Charles
ton' b c.; New York or Newport News In
any event, all the mail will first come to
Washington, and from this, as a central
point, sent away.
BY reason Of an order of the Postma ster
General, issued today, the order of the
PRESIDENT prohibiting the dispatch of any
mail matter to Spain or her denendencies
Is mod1fed SO far as to permit postal COM
mtnlcatlon between the United States and

At the Cabinet Meeting.
The cabinet had so little to do and so
little to talk about today that it adjourned
after session of a few minutes over an
hour Cabinet members said afterward
that there was nothing of interest before
the meeting.
The President explained his conference
last Saturday afternoon with Ambassador
Cambon, and told of a small change which
had been made in the note. No concessions
from the original determination of the
President and cabinet were made, and only
one word in the entire note was changed.
This, in the mind of the French ambassa-
dor, softened portion of the note to some
extent, but in no way took away the
strength of the American demands or al
tered our position. 1t was SO unimportant
that cabinet officials today ridiculed the
reports that a considerable concession had
been made. -.-
Every cabinet member said that nothing
has been received from Spain. An answer
to the American note is looked for in few
days. So far as the cabinet knows, Spain
has not asked for an explanation of GER
tain portions of the note, and it is not
known whether she will do Cabinet off,
GERS consider that this would be simply kill
ing time, and say that it would be of no
service to Spain. While the note of last
Saturday did not go to Spain as an ultima
tum, there is no intention of receding from
or changing any of the demands made.
Secretary Days Statement.
Secretary Day said this afternoon at 3
o'clock, in response to a direct inquiry on
the subject that no reply had yet been re-
ceived from Spain to the United States

The President today. It is stated, in
formed several persons as to his inten-
TORS. He has received a number of
inquiries about the assembling of Congress
and his answer sets at rest reports that it
will be necessary for Congress to draft
legislation to meet the deenands that will
follow the close, Of the war.
According to the Presidents view, the
military occupation efr-the~ territorial ae-
quisitions of this government will not
nee essitate legislation expressly providing
fer the continuance of a large military
force. 1t is said that the law calling into
the field the thousands Of volunteers in
service does not contemplate the disband-
ment of these soldiers as long as conditions
make their services necessary. The Presi-
dent feels confident that the law gives him
all the authority wanted to keep the SOL
diers in the field -
The belief was expressed by prominent
man today that the government will have
to keep 100000 soldiers In the field for the
next two years. The adjustment of affairs
In Cuba and Porto Rico will. he says. take
months and will cost a great deal Affairs
in Cuba are likely to +, be disturbed for a
long time, and United States troops will
have to be kept at all points i'll the island.
This will be SO until President Mckinley
recognizes Cuban government. which he
will not do until one Is In operation in
which he has confidence, That time looks
remote to many men now
