THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEsT

To the Editor Of the Press:
What is the trouble about Judge Hop
kins in Ward 9?
: The writer has been repeatedly asked
this question during the past few days.
The only answer [ can give S that
Judge Hopkins did what he could to
have the will of the majority of the
legal voters of Dee ring carried out by
an act of legislature in the annexation
When Mr.. Hopkins was nominated for
representative he was an avowed annex
ationist and this fact was well known
and he was elected by voters of both par
ties. Although 1t has been openly as
serted that quite number Of Well-known
Republicans cut Hopkins because of the
position he assumed. Shortly before the
legislature met meeting OF the leaders
of the annexationists was held, at which
the subject of annexation was fully dis
cussed and it was finally voted that the
matter be left to committee to notify
the legislature that a petition would be
presented praying for the annexation
of the two cities. After the legislature
assembled and the notice of hearing be-
fore the committee on towns was pub
lished, the opponents to annexation
flooded the town with petitions against
it and secured about 700 signatures
which were sent to Augusta. The annex
ationists then had meeting and decid-
ed that there was nothing left for them
to do but to secure petitioners in favor
of the bill, and in less than one week they
secured more than 1000 signatures. These
petitions were all presented by Repre-
sentative Hopkins, and when it was so
clearly shown that large majority of
the citizens were in favor of annexation
he did his duty as he saw it and worked
to carry out the will of the majority.
Now there is a little cotsrie of Republic
cans who were anti's, and who have been
so long accustomed to having everything
go to please them that they have been
sore ever since.
The bill passed the legislature and now
they are seeking revenge by placing Mr..
Lowe in the field against Mr.. Hopkins,
well knowing that Mr.. Lowe cannot
receive the nomination, for if Mr.. Lowe
su cceeds in Ward 9, he cannot expect to
succeed in Ward 8, and it will only cause
deadlock and the probable nomination
of some other candidate as a compro-
mise. The duty of all Republicans who
believe in fair play and honorable deal
ing in politics is to go to the caucus and
vote for Mr.. Hopkins's delegates. He
is entitled to denomination by party
usage, and all who are working for
the best interest of the Republican party
cannot fail to see this matter in its true
light. W. w. Merrill.

Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens and Miss Anna
A. Gordon reached New York July 14th
by the steamship St. Paul. They are
spending a few days at the eagle S
Nest, cottage built by Miss Willard

who has been abroad the last four years
as w. @. I. U. missionary. The de-
monstration at Ocean Grove will be in
appreciation of her heroic self-sacrlfclng
labors in many lands. After this meet

At the w. G. Il. u. meeting Friday,
the observance of Old Home Week was
discussed, and though no plans were
made it is understood that there Will
be kept open house during the week.
Upon the arrival home from the world S
convention of Mrs. Stevens, arrangements
will be perfected for that event.
The Flower Mission has been enabled
to observe Prison Day. About 100 bou-
quets of beautiful and choice flowers,
mostly of the hot house variety, were sen.
to the Reform School boys and to the
Jail.
Mrs. M. T. W. Merrill, one of the pa
iron saints of the mission, put So in the
hands of the committee for this purpose.
In response to a request from the
Rockland Union, the Portland W. G. Il.
U. ladies sent box of flowers to that
city for distribution among the prison
ers. It is probable that the flower mis-
sion committee will do no further flower
work this season. They are look ing fol
a young woman possessing leisure, love
of flowers and humanity who sees the
need and beauty of the flower mission
work and who will gladly accept the
trust OF looking out for it's interests.
No doubt there are many such in Port
land

$4,000 such books were discovered. A few
years ago scholars learned to read this
peculiar Wedge-shaped writing and to
their surprise they found written on
these clay books the same stories which
are recorded in the first part of the
Bible. The books of Kings tell how the
Assyrians captured Samara and besieged
Jerusalem, but on these books one may
read the Assyrian accounts OF the
events. The Bible tells many stories of
Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, but
now party of Germans are digging up
the great palace in which Nebuchadnez-
Ear lived.
One of these ancient cities is Ur of
the Chaldees, the home of the Biblical
Abraham, one OF the earliest cities of
which we have record, for its history
can be traced back to 1000 B. G.
DIR. Banks will shortly leave Annerica
to make excavations in this ancient city
and he hopes to find there some of those
tablets which will give to the world the
history of the Hebrew people and throw
much light upon the Bible. Yesterday
at the close of his talk, Dr. Banks ex-
hibited few of the wonderful clay tab
let's which were found in ancient Baby
Ion and which are over {, 200 years old.

Kwane Hsu Resurrec ted.

Victoria, b. c., March 6.-The lat
est chapter in the Chinese policy of
court intrigue, as told by the Oriental
papers, is stranger than any Of Its
forerunners, the Empress Dowager,
who had proclaimed Emperor Kwang
Hsu dead by suicidal poisoning, being
forced in view Of the popular indigna-
ton and unexpected strength of the
reformers following Kwang Hsu, as
well as the declaration by Japan that
intervention would follow the thron-
ing OF her nominee as the Emperor's
successor. to contradict her former
proclamation, declare Kwang Hsu
alive and concede point to the re-
formers, to whom Kang Yu Wei had
wired from Singapore that he could put
1000 men In the field at once to fight
for or to avenge the Emperor. Kwang
Hsu Is stated to be in hiding now, al
though the Empress declares he Is i'll
at Picking. All efforts to supplant him
are abandoned for the present.

Pauncefote Will Stay.

London, March 6, 5:o7 p. NIT is
learned that the British Government
has decided that Lord Pauncefote will
remain as ambassador at Washington
Indefinitely. The decision to retain
Lord Pauncefote as British Embassa-
dor to the United States Is chiefly due
to the unanimous declarations OF the
Britis' press in favor Of such step,
and although Lord Salisbury previous
to last Friday had not considered the
further prolonging of Lord Paunce-
totes term. he apparently became SO
much impressed with the strength OF
the arguments regarding the Embas-
sador's acute knowledge of the matters
pending between the two nations that
he asked him II he were willing to re-
main. Lord Pauncefote replied in the
affirmative.
No definite period was mentioned by
Lord Salisbury, SO 1t is probable that
the dean OF the diplomatic corps will
not leave Washington this year, at any
rate, at the end of which time the
British Government hopes for a set
