THE EXPULSION OF DU Bose.

London, July 29.-The Secretary of
Stat for the Colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain,
replying in the House of Commons today
to MIR. Thomas Gibson Bowles, said that
Senior Du Bose, the former Spanish
charge d'affaires at Washington. was
formally requested by the Canadian
premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to leave
Canada. This was done at the direction
of the Imperial government andfon the
ground that there was reason to believe
that Senior Du Boo was using Canada for
the purpose Of belligerent operations
against the United States. Continuing,
Mr.. Chamberlain remarked that the au-
thority to expel aliens from Canada in
such cases. rests with the crown.
Answering another question Mr.. Cham
berlain said the government could not
undertake to lay on the table the papers
as having bearing upon Senior Du Bosc's
expulsion.

Why WE HAVE FOGGY Wealth.
ER

A cold Arctic stream flows from the
North Pole along the coast of Maine
which is the reason Maine is SO cool.
Further out to sea a warm Gulf tream
flows II the opposite direction on it's way
from the Gulf of Mexico to the coast OF
England.
When the wind is east it blows across
this Gulf Stream and carries the warm
air along with it until it reaches the Arc
tito Stream, when it is condensed into
vapor which forms the fogs on our coast.
This fog blows inland only about
ffteer 10 twenty-five miles SO that while
it is rather discouraging for seashore
pleasures 1t does not mar the pleasures Of
the excursion to the White Mountains
which the Maine Central R. r. is adver-
Using for next Sunday by special train
to leave Portland at 1910 a. IN. on ar
rival of morning train from Kennebunk
on the Boston and Maine r. r. and

tickets will be sold at $3.50 the round
trip to Fabyans and return.
Connection will also be made at Sebago

THE SANTIAGO PRIZE MONEY.

r-
W ashinst ton, July 29.-The sailors from
Simpsons fleet who participated in the
destruction of the vessels of Ceryera's
squadron. probably will have to wait
some time for their prize money. The
Navy Department. had prepared lists Of all
the crews of the Spanish vessels, and of
the vessels Of our own feet that partici-
pated in the engagement who were en-
titled to prize money, for the use Of the
auditor of the treasury in settling the ac-
counts but the Treasury Department ofti-
Gals in their care to prevent any mis.ap-
plication of the funds, required that they
be supplied with further detailed infor-
nation and this request has necessitated
the return of the lists to the North At.
lantic feet off Santiago for amendment.

ARRIVAL OF A RED CROSS
STEAMER.

New York, July2e. Tho Red Cross re-

by Captain Young, arrived at quaran-
tine at noon today from Santiago. Inc

DENTS private secretary, who volunteered
az a Red Cross nurse, Sister Blanche, one
Of the Red Cross staff Of nurses, and four
Red Cross surgeons, Drs. Ball, Long,
Doherty and Lightstone.
Mrs Porter was seen on board the state
Of Texas. She said: II aided in the land
Ing and the distribu tion of the Red Gross
stores at Santiago. I went ashore and
| visited the hospitals and visited the
battleflelds, where our soldiers first died.
I can not speak too highly of the magnif-
cent word done by the Red Cross society
at the front. feel that without Its AID,
numbers of our brave men would have
died from lack of medicines and other
necessities. "
The State OF Texas has the distinction
of being the first vessel to enter the har-
Dor of Santiago after it's surrender. Gen.
eral Shafter with Admiral Sampson ana
Commodore Schley visited Miss Barton
on July II and ordered that the State OF
Texas be permitted to enter the harbor.
Miss Barton and her staff disembaTked at
Santiago and proceeded to carry out the
work of relief to the sick and wounded
and also to assist the reconcentrados. The
State of Texas left Santiago July 81. and
experienced very pleasant Weather
throughout. On arrival at quarantine the
State of Texas was boarded by Health
Officer Doty, who inspected the steamer
and her crew. All being well on board
she was permitted to proceed to her dock
at Pier 10 East River. She brought two

THE MAINE REGISTER.

The edition of the Maine Register for
1S9S.99 contains 20 pages more of town
statistics than any preceding one. This
gain in the statistical matter in the
several towns and cities is proof positive
that the State of Maine is making a
healthy and substantial progress year by
year. The new map has been carefully
revised, and shows the route of the new
Washington County railroad, also the
extensions Of the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad from Caribou to Limestone, the
Portland g. Rumford Falls railway from
Canton to Chisholm's s, and the Bridgton
s, Saco River railway from bridgton to
Harrison.
No other State in the Union is SO we'll
represented in its statistics, or SO well adj
vertised in all it's varied interests as our
own, by means of this yearly publication.
1t thus invites the attention of outside
parties to the superior advantages offered
by Maine to manufacturers, tourists,
sportsmen, etc., and in this way is of
great benefit to our State 1t is book
that Ii almost indispensable, not only to
business and professional men, but to ev
cry person who desires to keep posted on
our Industrial political, educational nd
religious progress.
There are few men of intelligence in
the State who do not, at some time dur
Ing the year, have occasion to look up
matters connected with some one or more
of our 423 towns 20 cities and nearly 100
plantations. The officials, business firms,
professional men, and in fact all interests
are carefully given in the Register, and
no one can afford to get along without
it.
The price of the book is So. 90, and
drenville M. Donham, 1856 Middle street,
Portland, is the publisher, and also the
maker of this wonderfully complete and
accurate volume.

THE WISCASSET AND QUEBEC.
So great has teen the change in senti-
ment toward the entrance of the Quebec
& Wisoasset railroad into Waterville that
there is good prospect that when the vote
as to whether or not the city shall sub
scribe for $4,000 worth of stock for the
road is taken. the project will be carried
by a two.thirds vote.
Present Indications show that, with the
help of the city, by taking part OF the
stock, beginning will be made on the
road this fall. According to the special
charter granted to the road by the legisla-
ture, work must be commenced on the
road before the present year has expired.
In order that the promoters may not Lose
the rights granted them by the charter
it Is proposed to make beginning this
year.
The promoters of the road are quoted as
saying that II $4,000 worth OF stock is
taken in Waterville there will not be the
slightest trouble in bonding the road SO
that work may be commenced in very
SuOTt Ulul6s Al oIuoT oAoo WILLS 'SA~AoA-
may be raised the city will be asked to
make a subscription for the stock. With
this amount subscribed for and what 9th
ers have signified their intentions OF tax
ing in stock, there seems to be but slight
question but what the promoters Of the
road will be able to start the work of
building late In the fall.
