POLITICS IN CUBA.
The Programme of the Union Demo-
cratic Party.

Havana, August 25.-At a meeting of
the Union Democratic party, Senior
Pierra said the question of the election
of delegates to the constitutional con
vention was one OF immense Importance.
If the convention failed through the IN
capacity of the delegates, he declared that
only the Cubans would be blamed for
it and he counselIed that a careful Sc
lection be made. Senior Giberga said the
question of the relations between Cuba
and the United States could be settled to
the satisfaction of both parties without
the independence of Cuba being inter-
ferred with. Cuba, he asserted, sWOuld
willingly guarantee the United States
commercial privileges and would give
assurance that she would make no alH-
anoe with a foreign power. All guaran-
tees would be given in treaties between
Cuba and the Washington government.
La Luoha today publishes the names
of six probable candidates for the nation
al party in Havana province. They are
Gen Maxine Gomez, Gen. Alexandra
Rodriguez, the present mayor of Havana,
and Seniors Estrada Palma Quesada,
Gener and Tamayo.

TO BANGOR REPUBLICANS.
Speeches by Senator Fairbanks, Com
gresham Foss and Hon. Z. G. PIRATE.

Bangor. August Ex-senator Fairbanks
OF Indiana, Congressman Foss Of Illinois
and Hon. Edgar q. Pratt of New York
addressed the opening meeting of the Re
publican campaign here tonight, Sena-
tor Fairbanks spoke for an hour, taking
up all the leading issues. He defended
the course of the administration at home
and abroad. He declared, in referring
to the effects Of the protective tariff, that
Nelson DingIey was one OF the greatest
OF American statesmen and he paid ga
warm tribute to the character and SER
vices Of Congressman Boutelle IN build
ing up the American navy and thus
making possible the triumphs in our war
with Spain.
Congressman Foss cited historical facts
to prove his contention that the Dsmoc-
racy Of today had drifted away from the
ideas expounded by Jefferson and other
leaders of the party. He defended the adj
ministration's foreign policy and de-
cIared the Republican party would not
enslave the Fnipinos, because it had
freed the blacks in America and was the
party of liberty, not of slavery.

Bangor, August 95-rhe last of the
Penobscot river log drive, that from the
west branch, has arrived in boom, and
it is now apparent that the stock OF
saw logs on the river is to be the smallest
for many years. About $4,000, 600 feet
of logs are available for the saw mills,
against ITO, 000, 600 to 100, Ooo,O coo feet, the
usual stock in the past ten years. The
quantity of logs carried over from last
year was only about 24,o00,000 feet, OF
two-thirds of the usual quantity. which
reduces still further the quantity avail
able for saving this year, as out of the
total stock at least 8O,OO0,OO0 feet must
be carried over to the spring of 1901 tc
provide for ordinary necessities early
in that year.

John ". Bookwalter OF Ohio. whose re-
ant books on Siberian and Asiatic prob
Ems have been much quoted in recent
Kngllsh papers, is now in London. In
IN Interview with a representative Of the
Associated Press, he said:
"Ihe present situation IN China, It
SENS TO me, is not It's most serious
phase, IS it Is likely 10 preoipitate the
whole Aslatio problem with It's many
complications for permanent solution
There are two chief considerations IN
this problem. First. the double relation
that Russia occupies toward China and
that which Russia occupies towards
England. through her dependency. Since
lie building Of the great trans-Siberian
and trans-Caspian railroad systems
Russia has been brought into direct con-
tact with China from the Hinterland. 1t
is Obvious, therefore, that Russia is the
most potent factor in directing events
which win determine what the future
relations OF the various nations shall
be In the Aslatic continents.
1.-THE building OF the railroad systems
has rapidly changed the entire situation,
bringing China, politically and CONNER
eally, to the very doors of Russia.
Il believe that when a general show
Ing Of hands is made, it viii be apparent
that If there is not an actual alliance be-
tween Russia and China, there win be
found to be an Intimate cooperation for
the maintenance of their political and
commercial interests. Under these con-
adeEatons, it does not seem possible
that the Partition Of China among the
Western powers can occur, nor could a
composite control be established.
Under the circumstances it would
seem, therefore, probable that an identi-
cal note viii be issued by Russia and
China IN which they viii jointly agree
% guarantee the integrity Of the Chinese
empire which Is IN direct line with the
present expressed wishes Of the various
towers, and also the safety of foreign
Residents and the property OF other ma
uons In the country. Such a guarantee
nom 50 powerful and reputable a ma
uon as Russia would carry with 1t such
weight that refusal to accede to 1t by
me Powers would certainly lead up to
most critical international situation
ana very probable clash of nations.

railroads, quickly throwing the military
strength Of her empire into China and
az the same time organizing and equip

country, it is obvious what Issue such an
