Themselves at Clinton.

Clinton, July "a tramps' paradise
has been instituted near the Canaan town
line IN this town. Ever since the Fourth
a dozen tramps have made their head
quarters in an old barn that sits alone on
the Westoott place, ON the road to
plshons Ferry. The men manage to get
hard cider or other drink. and they make
day and night hideous.
Sunday the grass on the place was set
on fire. Sunday evening the tramps set
fire TO an old well house, building that
had set over the wsll and had been used
for the cattle. The tramps We're bolster
ouEly drunk, and they formed a ring
about the burning structure, singing and
dancing to beat a Chinese stampede.
Several sheep have disappeared from
two nocks in the neighborhood IN the
past week, and it is supposed their disap-
pearance Is due to the presence of the
tramps.
Sunday evening" Horace Williams, a
farmer living in the vicinity went over to
the Wesoott place TO see what was going
on, and as he approached the crowd OF
tramps he was told that he was not vel
come and that the safest thing for him
to do was to get OUT Mr.. Williams
says be got a glimpse of several sheer
skins on the ground inside the burning
wen house.

TO SEND MORE TROOPS.
Part Of Philippine Army May BE De-
spatohed to China.

Washington July "a cabinet meet
ing was held at the state department. to-
day for the discussion of the latest deveI-
opments in the Chinese situation. There
We're present Secretaries Hay, Long and
Root and Attorney General Griggs. There
is good reason for the belief that Admiral
Kempff's latest despatch telling of the
military necessities Of the case was the
basis of discussion. The question at issue
it is understood is the sending of rein-
forcements to China from the Philippines
pending the arrival of the troops ordered
to the east from the United States 1T is
realized that only small portion Of the
six thousand troops ordered from this
country viii arrive out for two or three
months at the earliest and that the troops
IN the Philippines are tie only ones that
can be utilized for operations in China
within the next month. ii action on a
large scale is to be had at once, it win be
Philippines. II war should result from
the present troubles and the struggle be
prolonged, the troops in the United States
now under orders for the Philippines,
will be available in due course Of time.
It was rumored this afternoon that the
officials had concluded to despatch addi-
tional troops from the Philippines to as
sist in the proposed allied movement
against Pekin for the possible rescue of
the foreign ministers and residents but it
was impossible to verify the rumor in
official circles. Those people who origi-
mated it seemed to be positive of it's
accuracy and even went SO far into detail
as to assert that the fourth and eighteenth
regiments OF infantry now serving in the
vicinity of Manila have actually been or
dered to prepare for embarkation to
Taku.
Secretary Root was questioned in re-
gard to the report late this afternoon but
declined in the most positive manner to
commit himself on the question. He
would not say that no more troops will be
sent to China from the Philippines, nor
would he admit that such movement
was in con temptation.

6aneyoshi, F. r. s.,Eof Toxic, medical
director general of the Imperial japanese
navy has arrived from Vancouver en-

probably attended by great war. DR..

GALE TERRIFIC.
BiddefOrd Visited by a Cyclone Sum
day.


Biddeford, July 9.--Part of the city was
visited Sunday by a wind that was very
much like a tornado. It came in adj
vance of the thunder shower, shortly be-
fore sunset with force sufficient to tear
up big trees and to damage buildings.
Fortunes Rocks, the Pool and Camp Ellis
felt the wind with greatest severity, but
it blew strong IN all parts of the two
cities and in Old Orchard.
Cottagers at the Pool were treated to
the most frightfu1 exhibition of the tor
nado's force. The cloud was visible to the
Pool people when it struck Fortune s
Rocks, but 1t came across the three miles
of beach so rapidly that there was no
time to close doors or windows to pre-
pare for it.
The first place in the South Point col
loney where the wind struck was at the
cottage of Miss Laura &. Foss. The shed
which stood a few feet from the cottage
was lifted bodily from the wooden posts
on which it rested, and was dropped
again four feet away. One side Of the
shed was completely wrecked.
Windows in several cottages were
smashed by the force of the wind. The
whole neck of land was swept clean of
everything movable. Pals, boxes and
lobster traps were lifted by the wind and
either strewn along the shore or carried
out to sea.
Chairs were carried off the piazzas Of
about all the cottages and left on the
beach, some of them broken past all
further usefulness.
The Pines came in for share of the
wind fully as strong as that which
threatened to blow the Pool cottages into
the water. Three trees on the land Of
Fred A. Tarbox, chief of police of New
ton, Mass, and two on Mr.. Fenderson's
lot at the Pines were torn up by the roots
and carried some distance.
Two men named Norwood, who were
not far away, were less fortunate. They
had a top buggy which threatened to tip
over in the wind before they could reach
a stable door which was inyitingly open.
They got there all right, however, and
quickly embarrassing the horse, ran in
to the barn with the animal. just then
a particularly powerful gust of wind took
the buggy and blew it down across the
shore, making a complete wreck of it.

LONG BRANCH SWEPT BY CY
CLONE.

New York, July Columns are print
ed today of the ravages of the cyclone
which yesterday afternoon swept along
the New Jersey coast at Long Branch.
The storm, which struck with fury the
cottage colony alone Ocean avenue caused
damage to the extent Of thousands of dol
lars.
Pretty much all the destruction wrought
in Long Branch was between the cottage
of the late George w. Childs and Lincoln
avenue, opposite the Franklyn cottage,
where Garfield died. The gale was ac-
companied by severe hail storm, which
showered stones as large as hickory nuts
and caused as much destruction as the
cyclone itself.

PARADISE OF CRIME.
Another Robbery In Kennebunk and
Two Criminals Given Plain Drunk
Sentence.

Biddefora, July 9.-Sunday three
tramps walked into the power house of
the Mousam Manufacturing company in
Kennebunk and relieved the engineer,
Edward Boothby, of a nickel cased
watch. While two of them engaged Mr..
Boothby in conversation the third ex-
tracted the time piece from the pocket of
his coat which hung on nail on the
wall. As soon as the sharper had secured
the watch he left the building, his two
companions meanwhile keeping Mr.
Boothby's attention engaged by talking
to him.
The two men waited until the one
with the watch had made good Roadway
towards Wells and then they also left Mr..
Boothby. They had be gone only a few
minutes, however, when Dir. Boothby dis
covered his loss. He Immediately made a
complaint to the police, and although
they succeeded in capturing the two
tramps who engaged Mr.. Boothby in con-
versation, they We're unable to find the
one with the watch, he having escaped
into Wells.
This morning the two prisoners were
arraigned before Trial Justice Haley, who
sentenced them to thirty days apiece at
Alfred JAIL They said they belonged in
Boston and that they stopped in Bidde-
ford Saturday night sleeping in wagon
on Cults street. They hal in their pos
session several razors which they said
they bought at auction.

The time is drawing near when
the present incumbent will retire
as postmaster at Ardmore. to be re-
placed by a republican. AS there
are Sc, eral applicants for the place
all good men and true-would 1t
not be well for the people of Ard
more by vote to select from the
republican ranks the one they de-
sire to fill the Office of postmaster
for the next four years.
This method was adopted by the
democratic applicants who sought
the appointment to FIJI the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Capt
Jno. S. Hammer. Moran Scott
and other contestants entered into
a compact that the candidate re-
ceiving the largest number of
votes would be the one the presI-
dent should be requested to APP
point. Why should it not be so
now!
Surely the contestants would
cheerfully abide the voice of the
people and not care to hold, unless

which belongs so universally to the
people. On this proposition let
