To Camden and Back in Fog and Rain.

1t was not very promising day for an ex-
cursion, Aug 18th, but Ratio and the writer
had planned to make trip to Camden on
steamer Salacia, returning by steamer NJ. &
M, and concluded to take the chances On
the weather. The Salacia is a smooth rum
ming craft, but there was considerable fric-
ton in the vicinity of the purser's Office
when the passengers began to buy their
tickets. A folder issued by the company.
and distributed by the local agent, gave the
fare from Belfast to Rockand as so cents,
and the round trip Is cents. But the purser
said the single fare was 70 cents and round
trip S125, and of course he held the fort.
The folders will no doubt be called in A
landing was made at Northport Camp
Ground, which looked almost deserted and
presumably everybody was under cover.
Soon after leaving The wharf the Salacia
was swallowed up in the fog, and nothing
was visible from her deck until the spindle
on Sherman's Point, at the entrance to Cam
den harbor, came in sight. The town still
renamed hidden. AS we steamed into the
harbor something doomed up like a ten story
building, but which proved to be the big
ive-masted schooner building in Beams

Officers Tell of Feeling in Some Southern
Sections.

Capt. E. E. Hatch, Co. E, 18th United
States Infantry, passed through with his
regiment on the Colon. AT the outbreak of
the war, Capt. Hatch was detailed for re-
crulting duty and for several weeks was
travelling through Louisiana. Speaking of
the war sentiment in the South, he said
The Old civil war feeling seems absolutely
wiped out. All through. the country dis

l had no trouble in obtaining the quota of
men needed to bring the regiment up to the
war footing. When we got in New Orleans
the place was ablaze with the stars and
stripes. There was absolutely nothing to
indicate that the people of the South had
ever followed any other flag.
zone thing, however, the southern people
can't look with favor on, that is the negro
regiments. Quite little feeling was dis
played against these men. and officers had
to be on the outlook for impromptu scrim-
images when the men had liberty 1 heard
OF one man who started out in Louisiana to
form negro regiment. There were plenty
OF negroes ready to enlist, but the sentiment
among the white population was so strong
against the movement that the scheme was
dropped"
Capt Hatch considers that the regulars
with the Manila expedition will be capable
of standing good deal of ''grief' in the way
of hot weather, the Eighteenth having been
stationed in southern Texas for some four or
more years.
Officers of the regular army anticipate
that in event of the United States annexing
Hawaii and holding the Philippines, regi-
ment OF regulars will be stationed here and
the Philippines will be handled in much the
same style as British India. Not few of
the regular army officers remarked of Homo

stationed" Honolulu, Fl. L., Evening

The Australian Ballot.

The visible advantages of the Australian
Ballot do not seem to increase as the years
go round judging from the position the Maine
press is taking against it. The Bangor Wing,
the Pennington Chronicle. the Bridgton
News, the Belfast Republican Journal, the
Observer, and many other papers, have op-
posed it from the first, and the Maine Farmer
is making strong opposition to it today.
The Observer has not heard of illegal voting
that it has prevented, but it has heard of num-
erous cases where honest voters have been
DISTINGUISHED because of what the Farmer
terms sits exacting and cumbersome de-
tails" If the people of Maine do not like the
system the remedy is in their hands. [Pis-
