Gov. Black has given the bosses pain
full surprise by causing it to be known
that some of their pet measures will en-.
counter his veto if they pass the legisla-
ture. 1t is generally believed that it was
his attitude of opposition that gave the
Ellsworth press censorship bill its quietus
Another measure which the New York
city bosses had set their hearts upon was
what is known as the bipartisan rapid
transit commission bill which proposed
to abolish the existing commission and
set up one composed of Republicans and
Democrats instead, but the governor has
let it be known that this measure

pity he did not declare his in
dependence a little sooner, but even now
he has it in his power to prevent the con-
summation of several disreputable
schemes that are under way.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST


At a meeting of the Bangor High
School athletic association held Monday
noon, means for raising money for the
support of the track team were discussed.
The following plan was adopted which
will prevent the appropriation of the
funds collected by the solicitors, for their
private uses, as was done last fall. Mum
bered slips Of paper will be distributed
to business who may wish to contribute
will write their names and the amount
of the contributions. zach slip will be
handed to Principal White, who will re-
cord the same and the amount. The
amount will then be collected by the
treasurer of the association or his assis-
tant. The High school will have base
ball team this season and much interest
is being manifested in it; many boys
having announced their intention of
being candidates for the nine. Daniel
Smith, one of the best foot ball players
and all round athletes in the school, has
been elected captain.

The Maine disaster, assuming that il
was not caused by the direct agency OF
Spain, could be settled without any great
difficulty if there were no Cuban ques.
ton. If the evidence should show an
outside explosion the question would
arise whether Spain had been guilty
of negligence, which rendered her re.
sponsible pecuniarily in damages, and it
could easily be referred to a court Of arbi-
tration and there settled. But the
chances are that it will be impossible to
dissever it entirely from the Cuban ques-
ton. The feelings of Congress are SO in
tense ovar the revelations of barbarities
practiced.in the island and the horrible
condition of the reconcentrados that it is
almost inevitable that the report of the
Board of Inquiry should precipitate the
whole Cuban question, and lead to the
treatment of the Maine disaster as part
Of it, rather than as thing by itself.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Globe reports Senator Hale as
saying, "The country is on the verge of
war; fear nothing can prevent hostili
tles'' Mr.. Hale has been one of the
strongest opponents of q warlike policy
and has done his best to prevent its adop-
ton. He foresaw more than year ago
that the constant agitation of the Cuban
question in Congress, the fiery speeches
in denunciation of Spain, the belligerency
resolutions were gradually drifting us
toward war, and he and the other con-
sentative statesmen in the Senate and
House, did their best to check the rising
waters before their volume became SO
great as to be resistless. 1t looks
now as if they had struggled
in vain. No doubt President Mckinley
desires to avert war today, and so do most
of the prominent leaders of the control
ling party in Congress. Yet they all have
been forced to recognize that war is not
only a possibility, but SO strong prob
ability, that the world must be searched
i'll hot haste for battle ships, that our
gun factories must be set running day
and night, that our soldiers must be hur-
ried from interior stations to the sea
coast, and that our too long delayed sea-
board defence must be fastened to COM
pletion. A feeble attempt has been made
TO represent the appropriation of $50 1000, :
600 and the hurried preparations as peace
measures, they have been described as
guarantees against war, but the public has
insisted upon interpreting them, and
rightly too, as preparations for war
which if not absolutely inevitable, was
at least among the very strong probabili-
ties. OF course the Maine explosion did
much to hasten the country to the brink
of war, but it was tending thitherward

Charged With Stealing Oats.

John Cullen, thirty-three years old,
corporal of Company *. Sixth United
States Artillery, stationed at Washing
Ton Barracks. was arrested early yester-
day morning by Precinct Detective Horne,
of the First precinct, and charged with
grand larceny from the United States
Government He was locked up at the
police station and afterwards turned over
TO his company captain, who had him
locked in the guardhouse TO await the
convening of the newly appointed court
martial
Information was received by Horne
that a United States artileryman was
selling oats, presumably Government
property, to market men and feed deal
ers ana that he had arranged TO dispose
OF some to a well-known merchant yes
terday morning. Horne anticipated the
soldier and placed him under arrest. He
had offered twenty-five bushels of oats
for sale and admitted having previously
disposed of lbs bushels.

THE PosToFFIcE BUILDING.
Superintendent FOurchy Arranging
for Its speedy Completion.


for Its speedy Completion.
The work of arranging for the speedy
completion of the new city postoffice
building under the regime of the new
superintendent, Richard Fourchy, is now
well under way and within few days he
expects to have done a great deal toward
securing harmony among the various in
spectors and contractors for the purpose
Of Fastening the construction.
Mr. Fourchy arrived here from New
York last Monday evening and assumed
charge of the work on the building early
Tuesday morning. He was for number
OF years connected with the supervising
architects office at the Treasury Depart
nlent and in the capacity of computing
engineer in that division was brought in
contact with the new poStofflce building
in an indirect manner, but on the w.-oie
the entire plan of construction was for
eign to him and his first duty in assum-
ing charge of the superintendency WAS
the study OF the plans and charts cJn-
tanning the details of construction. This
was no small task in itself, there beng
now more than three hundred drawings
covering the various portions of the
structure The plans have a so been fire.
and when they entered the hands or MI
Fourchy last Tuesday morning they may
be said to have been as dark and laby-
rinthic as the work that has been dohe
by many of the contractors on the bdi.d-
ing
The study of the plans and the work to
be done yet has engrossed the attention
OF the new superintendent for about a
week and he is now perfecting plans by
which he hopes to infuse new lie and
Yigor into those who are contributing
toward the construction of the bui ding
Il am looking over the field and Will en-
Geayor to get the work done just as
quickly as possible" said Mr.. Fourchy t"
a reporter for The Times last night. Il
will strive to steer clear of the former
difficulties and will be responsible only
for the work from the time that / have
had control My orders from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury are to nnlsh the
building as sool as possible, and that is
my task. il seems to me that the lower
floor will be ready for occupancy be-ore
very long while, but ] cannot yet Sst a
date. The work on the upper eight sto>
ries is fairly under way and as the con-
tract for the interior finishing OF these
eight stories aggregates something ike
$500 900 they cannot be completed in day.
am determined, however, that when the
work is well under way that there shall
be no delay
Mr. Fourchy explained that the int rio:
work 10 be, done in these eight upper sto-
ries includes plastering. plumbing. cleo
trical work and marble work. 1t l. vet
probable also that the new superin-"
dent will make some changes in taG
working personnel of the force now en-
ployed on the bui ding in order to hurry
the work
The Treasury officials have great hopes
in the new superintendent. He is only a
young man but has on several occasions
proven to them that he is energetic, taor-
ough and competent to manage the con-
truction of immense Government struct-
ureS.

SUGAR beet INDUSTRIES

CONSUL DlEDRICH'S IDEA

tiles of the yegetable-Seed of
High Grade and Pure Pedigree"
Nece ssary.

In a report to the State Department
on the Importance of good seed in sugar
beet cultivation, Henry w. Diederich.
American consul at Magdeburg says:
The results of the war with Spain
are bound to effect changes in various di-
rections that no one could have foreseen
at the beginning of this year. Not the
least important is the bearing they will
undoubtedly have on the sugar industry
in Germany and in the United States. An
enormous increase in the production of
sugar in the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico,
the PHILIPPINES and Hawaii is probable in
the near future. With coolie and Chi
nese labor in the Orient and in the Pa
cifc, with the stimulus of American
energy and capital In the West Indies.
mad with the more or less intricate boun-
ties of Europe, the sugar question mas
become very complicated one.
Though the outlook of the young
beet-sugar industry in the United States
is not so promising as it was year
ago, it is much too early to become dis
couraged. While 1t mny De advisable
for those planning TO start new plants to
make haste slowly, yet the good work
already begun should continue. Espe-
cially should the work of locating the
areas in the United States suitable for
the culture of the sugar beet be con-
tinued as this can be done without risk
or loss of money, the sugar beets being
capable of utilization as feed. In reading
the reports of our experiment stations
in various States, both as to the yield OF
sugar beets and also as to their sacchar-
inc qualities, one cannot but admire the
wonderful progress made in this new in
dustry within a few years, and TO con-
graduate our people engaged in it upon
their success"
He adds that sugar is made. not in the
sugar factories, but out in the fields, and
advises the cultivation of beets contain
ing the highest proportion of sugar, and
at the same time, the largest tonnage
per acre, and to plant none but seed of
high grade and pure pedigree"
