Political Notes,

Frederick Hale, son OF Senator Hale,
will make his debut on the stump this
fall in Cumberland county. He is
scheduled TO speak at Otistieid Aug. 81
and at Casco Sept. l.
Congressman Littlefeld, who spoke at
Bucksport last Saturday evening, drew a
big crowd, large numbers going from all
the surrounding towns. Charles IL.
Drummey and Ii. F. Whitcomb went
from Ellsworth, and say they were well
repaid for their long ride.
In announcing the name of the speaker
for the republican rally at Hancock hail
Monday, Aug. q, q mistake appeared.
The speaker will be Congressman George
Edmund Foss, of Chicago, not Foster.
There is Congressman Foster from
Chicago, but his name is George P. He
isn't making republican speeches. He g,
unfortunately, a democrat.

Fire in Orland.

oRLASD, Aug. 10 (speciAI)-Friday

the stable OF A. q. Page was struck by
lightning. The ringing OF the church
bell soon aroused the villagers and a large
crowd quickly gathered. 1t was evident
that neither stable nor house could be
saved.
A portion OF the furniture on the
lower floor Was saved. A large quantity
OF hay, four moving machines, consider
able furniture, clot bedding, ETC.,
besides farming implements, a cow and
hog were burned. 1t was only after a
hard struggle that the fire was finally
conquered. The large new stable and
the buildings OF Mrs. Bessie Hopkins
were in great danger.

FROM CHINA.
Two Letters Received from Miss
Burnham this Week.

Two letters have been received from
Miss Mary L. Burnham, NJ. D., from
China during The past week.
One was written at P'sng Ch'wsng,
June II. only three days later than the
one from the same place printed in THE
AMERICAN three weeks ago. 1t evidently
had been much delayed In transmission.
The second letter was dsted ct Chefoo
as late as July IS, and Is the first direct
news Miss Burnham's parents have re-
ceIyed from her since she reached the
coast.
From this second letter 1t is apparent
that another letter, which doubtless re-
lRtes her experience in reaching the coast,
has misearried or been delayed.
The letter from P'ang Cb'wsng added
little to what she had written In the one
previously printed. Alarming news was
increasing, and she was still In doubt rs
to what her next move would be. She
had at last decided TO return to Cbinsnfu,
on the promise OF the governor to protect
foreigners. She writes:
"of course we are In great danger here. but
this is hard 60 realize this beautiful morning.
We hear very little of the Boxers, hut as soon
a. the allied troops do anything Al the north,
we fear the reaction here. 1t is very doubtful
that we will ever zee the things tina, are left
behind.
III we escape ourselves we may he thankful
Our greatest anxiety IA for the poor native
Christians who are left behind.
whatever the future holds, you win be glad
to hear from me. This need cause you no
anxiety. BY the time this reaches you. viii

anxiety can trouble US no more.
whatever comes, ! want 10 assure you that
] am not sorry for my HE GU, here. I am

In the letter from Chcfoo she writes:
"You see am stiii here. although like the
ioafers on the park benches have been ordered
TO move on. So far we have had no good oppor
tunity TO leave. Each beat for Japan is over
crowded. and We feel that ought not to take

peritonitis.
Mr.. Flood arose Saturday morning, APP
parentIy as we'll as ever. After breakfast
he complained OF not feeling we'll. A doc

not consider the case serious. He grew
worse, however, and further medical at
tendance was secured. Everything pos
sible Was done to relieve him, bat he failed
rapidly until his death at 100 O'Clock
Monday morning.
No recent death has caused greater
shock in Ellsworth than the news an
parents had not the least warning, 1t
having been impossible to get telegram
through on Sunday announcing his i'll
ness. The telegram announcing hts
deaf was a terrible shock, and both Ar.
and Mrs. Flood were Frustrated by II.
Mrs. Floods condition Is considered
serious.

in 1870. He graduated from Ellsworth
high school with the class of 80, and FROM

teaching q few years, during which he
was principal OF Fryeburg, Bethel and
Hsmpden academies, he entered Andover

Flood preached each Sunday at the State
reformstory. He won two valuable cash
prizes for essays during his course. He
was always popular with classmates and
instructors, and indeed wherever he was
known. President Hyde, OF Bowdoin
college, said OF him in q letter received
yesterday: "He was one OF the nohlest
Of our graduates, and well prepared to
do an excellent work.
On his parents and his fiancee, Miss
Alice NJ. Furnish, OF Brunswick, the blow
falls hardest, but many mourn with them
the loss OF sincere friend.

gregstionsi church OF Ellsworth Falls.

Oil In California.

PASADENA, CAL, July rs, 1900.
To the Editor Of The american:
The resources of Southern California, In
a very great degree, have shifted from
fruits to Oil. For the last twenty years
fruit culture has been the industry of
Southern California, but during that time
a few restless spirits have bored holes
down deep into the ground to see what
they could find.
In few instances they found oil, and
the oil proposition has been worked from
year to year until We are sure we are living
in land OF oil, and now one sees derricks
and pumping plants in many sections.
especially In the low lying foothills and
those ranges OF hills cropping out and
rising up in the midst of long and wide
stretches OF valley country, and signs OF
the oil Industry are multiplying wonder
fully fast.
II a man you meet on the street Is not
in some way connected with some com
pany boring for oil, he is behind the times
The great procession is far In advance 1t
Is getting to be time almost ripe for oil
producers exchanges to take the place
OF fruit growers associations. We are
sprinkiing many OF our county roads with
oil with great success in laying the dust
and making them hard and smooth.
We have demonstrated beyond a doubt
that there are much fine, oil bearing lands
in this part OF our great State. We have
wells that are pumping several hundred
barrels daily, and also several gushers.

The only interests that will be
benefited if the American shipping bill
is passed next winter will be Ameri-
can-American labor in the mines,
factories, shipyards and on board the
ships. The republicans, naturally, de-
sire to pass the bill. The democrats,
just as naturally, oppose it, and sug-
gest no other remedy than the i'm
portation of foreign-built ships that
will benefit American labor not one
particle.

Edward Lee Hanscomb, New York
business man who has been spending
some time in Cuba, where he was
when the official order for the cleo
ton of delegates to the constitutional
convention was promulgated, said of
the situation on the island: 1.-THE
people of Cuba are generally well sat
isfied with the provisions laid down
by the administration for the forma-
ton of the Cuban government. There
is a class of agi;ators and adven-
turers, many of whom have been
placed in government positions, who
would, no doubt, like to build the re-
public along the lines of their own
choosing, but the conservative and
solid classes are more than willing
that the United States shall have a
hand in launching the new ship of
state, such as editing the proposed
new constitution and looking, for a
time at least, after the foreign rela-
tions of the infant republic"

BIiiehlll Fair.

The Bluehill fair, on Sept is, 10 and 20,
will be the first of the familiar Hancock
county fairs this season.
There is every reason to believe that the
Mountain park exhibition this year will
be bigger and better than ever. In no
section do the farmers take a Hyelier in
terest in their fair than in western or
southwestern Hancock county. The ex-
hibition OF fruit and vegetables at this
fair is always notable one.
Then, too, the horse lovers over that
way are tbirsting for a real good horse
trot. They were disappointed when the
Fourth Of July races were not pulled OF.
1t Is longer than usual between heats IN
Bluehiil. The starters bell on Tuesday,
Sept. IS, will be merry music.

Home week. Every town will well
come by some special observance the
sons and daughters of the State re-
turning for little time to the nour-
ishing mother. IL is easy to imagine
the simple ceremonies in many a
stately town and quaint village, the
pilgrimages to the old homes, the
greetings of old friends and neigh
bors, the tables spread with the joys
of Maine cooking, the concerts and
parades and excursions, the games
and races and fireworks, the firemen
and the hand tubs, the clambakes and
fish dinners along those lovely shores.
Here town keeps the one hundredth
anniversary of its foundation. There
public library is to be dedicated or
there is reunion Of the pupils of
some ancient academy. Portland has
the North Atlantic squadron AS her
guest. Bath will launch the biggest

The Chinese situation is more hope
full, but there is no question but a
hard problem, either diplomatic or
military, according as the tide turns,
is before the powers. The United
States has demanded that the allied
troops be allowed to enter Picking and
rescue the ministers and other
foreigners in danger there. This de-
mand has not yet taken the form of
an ultimatum, hut is very near it. In
the meantime the allied army is
marching on to the relief of the
ministers in Picking. Friday it was
reported within thirty three miles of
the city. 1t may even now be knock
ing at the gates. A sensation in the
news OF the past week was the new
evidence of Chinese duplicity con-
tanned in a message from U. S. Minis
ter Conger in Picking. The message
showed that the Imperial government
had falsely represented to the minis
tiers in Picking that all the foreign
powers had requested that their
ministers ,eave Picking with Chinese
escort. This would have placed them
at the mercy OF the boxers. 1t would
be quite in line with Chinese tactics
to declare that after leaving the city
the imperial army escort was at
tackled by boxers, defeated after a hot
battle. and the foreigners massacred.
