There is a widespread belief that the
war is to be followed by a great revival
in shipbuilding. The impressment OF
merchant vessels into the naval service
has resulted in large number of orders
for ships to take their places, the opening
up of trade with Cuba and Porto Rico
will call for many vssels, and there will
be probably a considerable expansion of
the navy. All these demands will keep
our ship-yards busy for years to come.
The Maine shipblilders report that bust
ness promises better than for many years,
and the yards along the Delaware are full
of orders.

(F'rom the London Chronicle
The Hooley revelations have come, and
most astounding revelations they ars-of
deep import to the public honor. The
proceedings yesterday before the Registrar
in Bankruptcy will shine out in CONNER
cial history as the apotheosis Of the guinea
pig. The guinea pig is a much more
splendid-at least more costly-oreat-
ure than anyone suspected. If we are to
assume the substantial truth of Mr..
Hooley's statements, such man, say an
Earl, may be worth 10000, or even e25,
200, in hard cash, and even an introduce
ton to him may fetch $4,000. The his
tory of the Dunlop promotion, as 1T was
told by the promoter, is one of the most
amazing tales to which London ever lis
tened. stThat board cost me $50, 0O0 I
paid Earl De la War; e25, 600 for himself. !"
"The Earl of Albemarle got e1l2, 800. He
should have had half, but don't think
he knew what half was.'' "The two
solicitors got ECO, 900 apiece for putting
their5 names on the prospectus. - Alto
gether. 'the names on the front sheet of
that prospectus cost between 600, 900 and
e1OO, 00O." This, of corse, is not "black-
meil." We should call it ''deooying.
1t was Mr.. Hooley's way of inducing the
public to give him five millions for a
thing which cost little more than three.
For the moment the plan succeeded ex-
cellently. The trick was done in exactly
month--and Mr.. Hooley adds, with
pride, he ''had never heard of the business
till he came to London"
In plain English, Mr.. Hooley bought
and sold businesses with an astounding
recklessness, which we suppose must have
been accompanied by some quality of
shrewdness that we do not discover in his
evidence, and he succeeded, according to
his own account, by a system of gigantic
bribery. We hesitate to believe some Of
the things he said-as, for example, that
a gentleman who was solicitor to two
noble lords was paid 5000 in connection
with one promotion, land these noblemen
would not have gone on the DO ard with
out his consent" Although Mr.. Hooley
would not say that the sum was paid to

against himself a most odious sort of in
ducement to a professional adviser. No
doubt the gentlemen assailed. and many
other gentlemen against whom charges
only less odious were leyeled yesterday,
will defend themselves, and we sincerely
hope they will do SO successfully. But
Mr.. Hooley's evidence is at least good
against himself.
Among the rest of the payments Mr..
Hooley runs off with great volubility a
series of payments alleged to be for tho
corruption of the press. He begins by de-
claring that large number of papers had
what he calls "press calls'' on the Dunlop
shares. His own account of 1t indicates
on the face of it that there was not so
much blackmail as bribery But the ac-
count badly needs to be probed to the bot
tom. What Mr.. Hooley says is that he
was introduced by Mr.. Finch Hatton to
Mr.. L. Harrison Davies, who fused to
contract to settle all these little evening
newspapers and keep them quiet" This
useful go-between brought the great man

y It is within the range Of possibilities
that differences may arise between the
Spanish and American peace commission
ers relative to the Philippines that may
lead to renewal of the war. But it is
not within the range Of probabilities. By
the time the commissioners meet all the
strategic points in the Philippines and
the West Indies will be in possession of
our troops, and for Spain to attempt to
renew the conflict would simply be mad
ness. The great argument against de-
manding the surrender by Spain of the
Philippines is not that it will lead to a
renewal of the contest, but that compli-
anoe with it would impose upon
us the tremendous burden of governing
those islands and keeping their semi-bar-,
barous inhabitants in subsection.

THE HALE NOTES.
The Town of Foxcroft Effecting a Settle
ment of the Middle.

A speedy solution of the Hale note
middle is now expected. The town Of
Foxcroft, which at one time was thought
to be bankrupt, will soon emerge from
the gloom in which it was cast by the
fraudulent acts Of its late treasurer and,
with a debt of but little over $50, 900, will
regain it's former position. 10
To those note holders who have not
signed the compromise another opportuni.
ty is given and it is confidently expected
by the financial committee that all will
come in. This committee has sent to these
note holders circular letter, under date
of August IL. which reads as follows:
s'The committee chosen by the town of
Foxcroft, to effect settlement with the
holders of notes against the town must
now bring to a close the duties devolved
upon them by the vote.
''They are pleased to state that large
number of the holders promptly signed
the compromise at IS per cent. Others,
after investigation have signed. The
number who have not signed are CON-
paratively few. There has been feeling
with some whom have signed that, had
they refused to sign, they would have re-
ceived more than IS per cent. No doubt
the same feeling is entertained by those
who have not signed. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for us to say that we had no authori-
ty to pay anyone more than IS per cent.
We certainly had no disposition to pay
one more than another.
eve, however, are pleased to announce
to all who have signed, that an arrange
ment has been made by which those who
have not and do not sign cannot realize
as much as those who have signed. The
arrangement made is such that those who
now refuse to sign cannot realize upon
their notes.
ga 'Debt Syndicate has been TO rmed.
This syndicate is now ready to pay all
who have signed. We now give an oppor--
tunity to those who have not signed, and
who desire to accept the 25 per cent to
sign the compromise.
"By signing you will receive your
money at once; you will avoid expensive
litigation, with the uncertainty Of the re-
suit, and you will be relieved of that
anxiety that you must necessarily have in
case of litigation. Promptness is now
necessary

England's anxiety to have us perma-
nently retain the Philippines is simply
anxiety to get our fingers along with
hers in the crack of the open door which
Russia is now trying to shut. Undoubt-
edly it is for our interest as well as Eng
lands to have the door kept open, but the
cost of n permanent retention of the
Philippines would be too big price to
pay, especially as it is by no means GER
tain that it would bring about the result
desired.

Cheaper sugar and coffee are promised
as the result of the fight between the

Arkbuckles were coffee roasters and did
not deal in sugar until the Trust went

operations, we presume that eventually
they will settle up their row and

The Portland daily press., 1898-08-16

The advice of Admiral Dswey and Gen.
eral Merritt will have great weight with
the President in determining the future
of the Philippines. The natural inclina-
ton of military men is toward
greater expansion because it affords
greater opportunities to the branches of
the public service in which they are par
ticularIy interested. But Admiarl Dewey
and General Merritt will undoubtedly
seek to eliminate personal interests and
suggest such q policy as they believe to be
for the general good.

The Maine soldiers are to be sent home
from Chickamauga the very first moment
the public service will permit. 1t would
seem as If that ought to be very soon. No
useful purpose is served by keeping them
at Chiekamauga. There is no garrison or
police duty to be done there. If they were
in Cuba or Porto Rico it might be neces-
sary to keep them there to garrison the
towns. But they are not needed at
Chickamauga, and they are in no condi-
tion certainly to be sent to Cuba.

The South hasn't covered itself with
glory in this war. Her statesmen, or
many of them, were exceedingly eager
for it, but the people did not respond
with alacrity to the Presidents call for
troops, and it is said that when peace
was announced the quotas of many of
the Southern States were untitled. OF
course Gen. Wheeler covered himself with
glory at Santiago. and there have been
other individual cases of distinguished
service on the part of Southern officers.
But as a whole the South has not
figured in this war SO prominently as the
North, nor proportionally done SO
much to bringiit to successful con-
clusion.
