rived yesterday morning from Rockland,

that had been removed from the mouth of
the Penobscot river.
The British schooner Utility arrived

f2?O tons Of grindstones which she will dis
charge at this port.

Nichol, 67eO; Mile Davis, 1900; Emma G.
Berry, 300; Hermann Reessing, $500;
Judith Ann, $500; Blanche and Ada, 500.
We learn from British Vice Consul
Keating, stationed at this port, but whose
official district includes all ports of the
state of Maine, that for the year ending
June 3d. 1898, 1929 British vessels entered
at Maine ports, and all the transactions
pertaining to this extensive commerce
and the care of disabled or distressed sea-
men, and the usual statistical details of
the business and requirements and
possibilities for trade or immigration,
has all had to be inoorpo1 ated in his
official reports. The increase of commerce
by British vessels atlthis port in the past
two years, has been over 62,OOo tons, and
since 1885 the increase has been over 49,
600 tons, surely a good showing for
Br itish commerce with Portland by sea.

FIRE in A PARLoR,
Lively Blaze in W. III. stevens House
Last Evening,

At five-forty O'Clock last evening an
alarm of fire from. box S21, called the de-
partment !. to the house of Mr.. W. H..
Stevens, 2S1 Brackett street, where there
WAS lively blaze in the front parlor.
The paper han gers and white washers
had been at work in this room and the
carpet was covered with paper clippings
while screen Of some light, indammable
fabric was draped over ths chandelier to
keep the dirt from soiling it. About half
past five O'Clock, Mrs. Stevens ad occa-
sion to enter the rooms and desiring a
light threw backbone corner of the curtain
over the chandelier and lighted one of the
gas Jets. The window of the rooms was
open and a gust Of wind blew the curtain
over the flame, setting the lnfiammable
material on fire. When Mrs. Stevens
turned around the whole chandelier
covering was ablaze. A portion OF 1t
dropped down onto the carpet and al
though Mrs. Stevens with great presence
of mind rushed out into another room and
procured water and some old carpeting
to smother the fire, the scraps OF paper on
the floor caught too easily and in a
minute the whole room was ablaze.
Mr.. Francis L. Littlsfeld happened to
be passing the house about this time and
quickly realizing the situation rushed to
the nearest box, which happened to be
S21, and pulled in an alarm. Before hose
three reached the house the fire had de-
stroyed new Chickering piano, several
articles Of maghonay furniture, two or
three carpets, etc. Fortunately most of
the parlor furniture had been removed
from this room while the workmen were
busy there and this was saved, but
enough was ruined or destroyed to make
Mr.. Stevens's loss something over $500.
This loss Is covered by $1,000 insurance
placed with Norton and Hall.
The firemen soon extinguished the
flames by the Use of pony chemicals and
prevent it doing very much damage to the
house, although the parlor was badly
burned.
The building belongs to the Maine
Savings bank and is covered by insurance
placed with Adams, Anderson q Co.

speaker recognized Mr.. Adams, acting
chairman Of the foreign affairs commit
tee. He asked unanimous consent for
consideration Of the resolutions that he
submitted. A thunderous outburst Of
applause from the door and galleries

Great confusion followed. The trouble
arose out OF an objection made by Bailey,

tion without proper understanding as
TO the length OF time allowed each side.

was TO see II reasonable understanding

not act without complete consideration.
