An Exciting Race.

On last Tuesday evening a large
crowd which had gathered at the Malta
wharf had the pleasure Of witnessing
an exciting race between the steamers
zanetta and Valley Gem. When COM
ing out Of the Eagleport locks the "a
META stuck on a sand bar and the Gem,
which was near, helped in getting her
off. AS soon as she was free from the
bar race began between the two
boats which lasted clear to Malta. The
Gem had short start but the Zanetta
caught up with her near the Children's
Home and from that point they forged
ahead, side by side, their guards touch
ing good part of the distance, neither
being able to get ahead. At the bend
above Malta the whistles were cut
loose and the racket which ensued
soon brought Jorge crowd to the
waters edge. 1t was sight not soon
to be forgotten. The two boats, rae
ing neck and neck, brilliantly lighted
by electric lights from stem to stern,
presented a beautiful picture. The
aim of each was to reach the Malta
wharf first, but the Zanetta having the
inside track, SO to speak--on the Malta
side of the river-was enabled to first
make the landing They steamed in
with full head, one apparently not an
inch in advance of the other. 1t is said
by river men that after the boats got
side by side the race was not real
test of speed, as neither could forge
ahead on account of the swell created
by the other, without the ones drop
ping back and allowing the other to
proceed. McCopnelsville Herald.

ford to-day, and there were no new
phases reported from Cuba.
Army and Navy headquarters were
in state of comparative repose. The
preparations already begun progressed
steadily.
The Foreign Embassies and Legations
were somewhat apathetic. After con
siderable personal exchange, the repre-
sentatives of the great powers of Flu
rope were satisfied that further action
by the powers at this time would be in
opportune, and they so notified their
governments.
The Spanish Minister believes that the
war crisis has been averted, for the
present at least, and no further Thought
is being given at the Spanish Legation
to the necessity for departure. The lc-
CATION has been advised that the Spanish
Consul at Key West, and a number of
Spanish citizens there have removed to
Tampa for fear of their lives, which, the
Consul reports, have been seriously
mcnaced.
MUST BACK TO AVERT WAR.
There is a strong impression tonight
that the debate in the House will be
made short to prevent undue criticism
of the administration. Many of the
Republicans are in favor of no debate
at all, contending that the passage of Il
resolution without debate would
strengthen our position before the world.
In the Senate it is impossible to pre-
diet how long the debate will run. There
is a general feeling in Washington to-
night among public men that the action
of Congress as foreshadowed in the res
olutions, renders the situation extremely
critical and conservative leaders of both
parties consider war inevitable as a re-
suit of their adoption unless Spain makes
final and complete surrender. by Civ
ing up the island of Cuba. The situa-
ton is regarded as so critical that the
Republicans of the Ways and Means
Committee, as a result of private con
ferences, have reached an agreement as
to a method of raising S100,000,000 ad-
dit;onal revenue annually for the prosecu-
ton of the war by increasing the tax
on beer and tobacco and placing tax
on tea and coffee. They also agreed to
authorize the issue of popular loan Of
S.500,000, 900 and the issue of certificates
of indebtedness to meet emergencies.

One Of the changes that Is liable to be
made in the game laws the coming WI
ter will be the prohibition Of the shoot
Ing of partridges for the purpose of sale.
In all the leading markets can now be
seen the birds that are not any too
plenty in the State though thicker than
in the past few years.
The friends of the birds think that as
there are SO few, and the chances of
their becoming extinct are so great, 1t Is
not right to use them for any other pur-
pose than that of shooting as a matter
of sport, and not for the market. That
class of sportsmen who wish this kind
of sport to that of killing the larger
game, are not coming to the State In SO
large numbers as formerly. and the only
way to get them into the habit Of COM
ing to Maine again, is to protect the
birds in a better manner.
In a speech before the Maine Sports
mems Association at Kineo. this sum-
mer, Adjutant General Richards made a
great plea for the better protection Of the
birds, pointing out the absence from some
OF the localities, in the central sections
of the State, of the sportsmen who used
TO frequent the places for the purpose of
getting few days sport out of partridge
hunting. Now these sportsmen are near
ly all gone. and they either have gone to
some other State where the birds are
more plenty, or they have gone to the
northern sections of the State.
General Richards pointed out the fact
that it is the southern and central Sec
ton of the State that pay the bulk Of the
tax, and they naturally would like to
derive the benfits of 1t in a way. Not
that the people are sorry to see the
northern sections prospering SO greatly
but many who help pay the tax would
like to get some of the sport out of It.
and many prefer partridge hunting to
that of killing deer. Furthermore. many
cannot afford to go to the northern por-
tions in search of the game of that Sec
ton.
The men who are at work upon the
game laws have all these facts in mind.
and will doubtless, recommend the
changes.

The fundamental mistake OF the

been In Juggling the Chicago platform

into the local platforms. That issue

enter into another national election:
but the sentiment that gave the move
mcnt It's potency In 1896 is fast dying
ont. The fact that other nations are
moving to the single standard, the
great production of gold now rapidly
increasing In the silver states, the
plcntitudc of money, the general pros
perity, all operate to send the free
coinage Of silver question to the dump
heap, wheroon il cast the rubbish of
past campaigns. The democratic party

question. But its misfortune Is that,
in the hope of getting an accession of

few and not the convictions Of the
masses. In its stand for free coinarc
