Of the. matter with reporter Of the

In substance:
II believe in Portland and Its success
as shipping city but it's advantages
must be- made known to shippers abroad
In order to induce them to send their
goods here. There are now considerable
Quantities OF English goods sold in Maine
but they are not imported at Portland.
Instead they come TO New York AMI the
Maine purchaser Ia subject not only to
delay In receiving his wares bus he must
pay the freight from New York to Maine
and beside that the. brealyags fees are
probably ten times as large as they would
DO In Portland on the same goods Tbs

believe, be glad to avail themselves of

them and | am willing to give some of

Wei. as will be remembered, went to
the Orient on the steamer Empress of
India. When he reached Yokohama
he lay hidden in the captains room,
refusing to see any one. When the
steamer reached Kobe he tried to go
ashore, but the japanese authorities
refused to allow him to land. He was
transferred to the steamer Kawachi

Hongkong, thus avoiding calling at
Shanghai, at which port he feared trou-
BILE From Honglong Japanese news
agency says Kang will go to Hawaii.
Kang Yu Wei was prompted to go to
China by telegram announcing the
serious illness Of his mother. While
at Yokohama he learned by wire that
his mother had not been sick, and 1t
then became evident that the message
was a ruse invented by his would-be
assassins. He decided, therefore, to
abandon the idea of going to China,
and asked permission to remain in ia
pan until he could secure passage to
Hawaii. Permission being refused he
went on to Hongkong.

the refugee to land.

BARHAN STRONG FOR EXPAN-
SION.

Washington, Nov. l1.--Judge Bar
ham of California will probably retain
his place on the Interstate Commerce
Committee i'm the next Congress. He Is
q warm advocate OF the Nicaragua Ca
nal and gold standard legislation. Con-
corning TIE former he said today: II
had some doubts till last winter wheth-
er San Francisco would be benefited
by the canal Professor Haupt was be-
fore our committee and | asked him
whether the traffic through the canal
would not pass southwark. He answer
ed me in the negative, quite to my sur
prise. repeated the question to make
sure, and he informed me that II would
be 500 miles nearer to Hawaii and the
Philippines by San Francisco than to
pass farther south, on account of the
curvature of the earth. He said that
this was easily demonstrated by fig
ures.
"The trade of the Pacific Coast" add
ed the Judge, touching upon the results
of the new island possessions in the
Pacific ocean, has already increased
marvelolsly. Everywhere in Califor-
mia one sees signs that men, women
and children are wanted for employ
ment. In many parts of the State the
vacation of the schools was prolonged
to enable the children to work. There
are 400.000000 people ont in front OF
the Pacific Coast, and when their trade
is opened up to us we expect San Fran
cisco will rival New York in CONNER
cial importance. There Is no question
ing the benefits already received by
California from expansion"
