REPUBLICAN RALLY.
OPENING GUN OF CAMPAIGN
FIRED IN ELLSWORTH.
CONGRESSMAN GEORGE. f. Foss, OF
CHICAGO, sPEAKs-oTHER RALLIES
SENATOR FRYE NEXT.

! The opening gun Of the campaign In
| Ellsworth was fired by the republica ms at
Hancock hall last Monday. In spite OF
the oppressive heat good-sized crowd
| turned out to hear Congressman George
| E. Foss, Of Chicago, speak ON the issues
OF the campaign. Monaghan's band
furnished music.
| DR.. George A. Phillips presided at the
meeting. His speech OF introduction was
an excellent one. In referring to the
splendid navy Of the United States, he
spoke o: the part which Senator Hale had
taken in making it what it is, and then
paid deserved compliment to Congress-
man Foss for his work as chairman of the
House committee on naval affairs.
| Congressman Foss presented the i'm
portant issues OF the campaign clearly,
and discussed them logically. He
devoted some attention to Mr.. Bryan's
speeches on The Philippine question. He
scored Mr.. Bryan for his action in fore
ing the ratification Of the Philippine
treaty for the purpose OF keeping 1t as a
campaign issue ON which he hoped TO
reach the presidency.
He showed clearly the inexpediency, the
| impossibility, OF Mr.. Bryan's proposed
policy in the Pnilippines-the giving of
| self government at once to the Fiiipiuos
under a protectorate by this country,
which would place upon the United
States all the responsibility with none OF
the authority. He pointed out the fact
that there are eighty different tribes in
the Philippines, many Of them In a bar
barous state and at war with each OF her.
The withdrawal OF our troops now would
precipitate riot and anarchy throughout
the islands.
This country, he said, was now engaged
in putting down an insurrection On
American soil for the Philippine Islands
are American soil, however much the
democratic orators may try to obscure
hat fact. He believed II President Nc
Kinley did not use every means at his
he would be liable for impeachment.
The speaker said the republican party
had decided upon no policy for the
future with regard 10 the Philippines,
the duty now was to establish peace, 30
put down the insurrection. 1t would be
time then to talk ABOUT the form OF gov
ernment for the islands. No one, he
said, would think OF giving self-govern-
ment to a child, or to u man who did not
know what self-governmeut meant. The
republican party did not believe the
Fiiipinos were now capable OF seIf.gov-
ernment, but as Soon as they are capable,
he believed they would get II.
The democratic talk about this govern
ment, which had fought and almost died
for the purpose OF freeing slaves, SEN
shaving the Filipinos," was nonsense.
Congressman Foss also touched briefly
on The issues OF militarism and free silver.
He closed by briefly reviewing the record
OF the republican administration for the
past four years, which furnished suffi-
cient reason why 1t should receive the
endorsement OF the voters Of Maine this
year.

A thrill of life along her KEEL

"she starts. she moves, she seems to feel
thrill of life along her keel"
The lines may as well be applied to
Bucksport as to the handsome schooner
"Thallium" which WAS launched there
last Thursday. Bucksport felt thrill OF
the old lie along her keel when the
schooner, with colors flying, glided from
the ways and bowed gracefully to the
assem- b'ed thousands rs she reached her
element A year ago the grass WAS rank
In the Verona shipyard; now there is a
modern shipyard there, with two more
vessels on the ways to be launched in a
few weeks, and still more to be built, 1t
is said. Bucksport lives again.
Narrsguagus lumberman, bad a lively
experience with bear last week. He
was walking along an Old tote road, when
he stumbled over couple of bear cubs.
The whining Of the cubs brought the
mother bear promptly on the scene.

being unprepared to dispute the point
with the enraged she-b bear, he took to a
tree. The ahe- bear was a close second In
the race for the tree, and az Schoppe
Jumped to the lower branches and
dangled moment before gat herring him

one OF his boot heels. For two hours the

shuft1ed off with her cubs.
Secretary Mckeen, OF the State board of
agriculture, who WAS In Hancock county
recently holding farmers Institutes, Is
telling Of the experience OF I. NJ. Allen,
OF Sedgwick, in cutivating blueberries.
few years ago Mr.. Allen had tract OF
pasture land that was comparatively
wortbie he had this burned over, aud
made arrangements so that third OF 1t
should be returned every third year. In
this way part OF the land WAS kept in
good condition for BURBERRY picking.
After the berry season was over, he
turned his sheep into the pasture, with
the result that not only were the sheep
furnished a feeding place but In addition
the land was greatly beneti ed. During
the present year he sent over $50 bushels
of berries to Boston mar kets, and received
a good price. The enterprise was also a
benefit to the town, as he paid his pickers
as much for their work rs they could get
from their trips to the mountains. In all
Mr.. Allen had about fifteen acres under
cultivation.

HOLDS THE WATER BOARD.

Conference Committee Acts on Conn
plant of Fire Department.
At the conference committee meeting
late yesterday afternoon a warm discuss
sion came up over the lack of water for
fire protection in the district north OF
Seventh street, from Cedar to Broadway.
Kenneth Clark. president Of the fire
board, presented Chief Cook as a witness.
Chief Cook stated that with one engine
attached to tho MIGRANTS anywhere In
that district the hose had collapsed seY.
eral times for want of a sufficient supply
of water from the main.
Mr.. Wolterstorff, president OF the wa
ter board, admitted that the difficulty
could be remedied by turning On the Lake
Vadnais service. but in that case the
Phalen water would run to waste down
the creek.
The solution of the difficulty was found
in the proposition to station q man at
Broadway and Tenth to turn the Vadnais
gates open in case of a fire in the district
under discussion. Then there was some
trouble as to whether the fire board or
the water board should pay the additional
expense of employing the necessary men,
one for day and another for night.
The conference committee passed a res
olution to the effect that 1t was the duty
of the water board.
