The people of England, have supreme
confidence in the financial standing of
their country and with good cause. The
war loan of $500,000,000 WIS oversub
scribed in two hours, although the rate
of interest was but "a per cent. The
loan was opened Saturday morning, and
the Bank of England and other designat-
ed banks were crowded with applicants
early in the day. All sorts and condi.
tons of persons were present Silk
hated finauciers, fine ladies, farmers,
clerks, governesses and thrifty repre-
sentatives of all classes appeared anxious
to put their money into Britannia 8
pockets, and 1t is estimated that the loan
was over. subscribed within two hours
after the time of the opening of the
banks. Every mail brought hundreds of
subscriptions. So keen was the demand
for the new bonds, in spite of the low in-
terest, that the bonds commanded a
premium Of IA to 2 from the start, al
though 10 the published announcement
of the Bank of England we're offered at

The corations of the hall showed eX
celent taste and when the doors werc
thrown open many complimentary ex-
pressions were heard. The galleries
were draped with red and white bunting
and from them were suspended emblems
of the order. The arch over the stage
probably attracted the eye more than
any other portion, the bunting being ar
ranged In a very artistic manner, while
from the centre was displayed the
Passion Cross, brilliantly covered with
more than fifty electric lights of red
and white, representing nearly one
thousand candle power.
On either side of the stage which was
prettily decorated with fllwers, was II
emblematic OF the hospitality Of the
Commandery, while at the rear of the
hall was tent of like character, which
was used as a booth for dispensing rc-
freshing lemonade, presided over by
Misses Pearl Estabrook and Leila Fair

Shipbuilding In Maine seems to be
taking on something of its old time ac-
tvlty. The months of January and
February of this year have launched
10000 tons Of new shipping, including
the five-masted schooner, Mary W.
Bowen at Bath, from the New England
yard; four-masted schooner, Henry S.
Weller at Phippsburg, frpm II. $. Bow
ker's yard; barge Iowa, Bath, from New
England Company's yard; barge Elk
Garden, Bath, from Kelley, Spear & Cos
yard; iive-masted schooner, Helen w.
Martin, Bath, from Percy IL Small's
yard; barge. at Bath, from the New
England Co.'S. yard; steel tug, No. 10,
and steel tug, No. Id, at Bath, from the
Bath Iron Works yard; three-masted
schooner, Wellfleet, Rockland, from
Cobb, Butler & Co.'S. yard. Indications
are said to be that this rate of 5000 tons
per month will be maintained and per.
maps exceeded during the year 1900.
Ihls will be grand thing for our Maine

The ice harvest on the kennebec this
winter, has been AN exceedingly expen
sive one. The popularity of the weather
has caused many yexatious delays, and
In addition to this has increased the cost
of housing the ice to such an extent that
the crop of 1899 1900 will go on record
as the highest priced crop-to the har-
yester-ever housed on the Kennebec.
The crop will be not far from SIS, 200
tons, but it is expected this amount will
find ready market at good rates.
There are also about $50, 900 tons left
over from last year which will make
shipping lively on the river if it is all
moved.

The reelection of Hon. Samuel W.
Lane as mayor of Augusta, by largely
increased majority in lively canvass
with popular Democratic candidate in
opposition, is, in face, an argument in
favor of the elimination of party politics
from municipal affairs. Mayor Lane,
last year, gave the city vigorous ad-
ministration on business principles,
materially reducing the city debt. This
course was approved by the voters Of
the city and many of them showed their
appreciation of this by voting against
their party nominee. A judicious and
honest administration counts more than
party tenets in municipal affairs, and
should so count.

The Kentucky Crisis.

The situation in Kentucky is critical.
The present acute stage arise from the
arrest of Secretary of State Caleb Pow.
ers,. Capt. John w. Davis and one or two
other prominent Republicans on the
charge of having been accessories to the
assassination of the Democratic leader,
Goebel. Powers and Davis attempted
to escape under disguise but the band of
soldiers who accompanied them WAS
overpowered at Lexington by the local
police, and the two accused men were
taken into custody.
Gov. Taylor forthwith summoned the
State Militia to the capital, and Gov"
Beckham has taken steps to gather
armed partisans to back up the purposes
of the Democratic faction.
