HARBOR NOTES.

Capt. Dobbin of the schooner Island
Queen which arrived from Boston yester-
day, reports that on Thursday he w as
passed by the elegant new Russian cruiser
which was recently built at Philadel-
phia. The cruiser fairly flies through the
sea, Capt Dobbins said, and the splash
from her waves was so violent that his
little boat was nearly tipped over and he
and his crew were for several minutes
pretty badly frightened. AS it was the
deck load of the Island Queen was COM
pletely shifted.
Mr.. Tolford, who was at Blake's, on
Widgery wharf, yesterday, said that the
thunder storm at Scarboro beach was
very severe Wednesday. The big trees
were swayed to and fro and few build
ings were shaken. But no serious dam
age resulted.
The steamer State of Maine arrived
from Boston late in the afternoon. She
was we'll filled with passengers and also
brought large cargo.
The steamer Bredfield sailed for London
in the forenoon, taking 21O cattle and a
full cargo.

A High License Scheme Which May
Rival the PopuIar Bangor Idea.


A new phase in the enforcement of the
prohibitory law has been inaugurated in
Calais by the city government, states a
dispatch to the Bangor News. Under
their direction the assessors of the city
have doomed the liquor dealers, saloon
men and hotel proprietors. Their business
has been valued from $1,000 to $40, QUO upon
which a tax has been placed at the rate
OF S24 90 per thousand. This new method
of doing business came like thunder
clap upon the heads of the men engaged
in the liquor trade. No one seems to
know just when the city officials directed
the assessors to make the tax but it IS be-
Iieved that the scheme was decided upon
some time during Monday. 1t was Tues
day morning that the matter was first
known. The assessors took a list of all
the dealers known to them in town and
and COMMITTEE the same for collection to
the tax collector, Thomas Mccullough,
and he at once notified the dealers that
this tax must be paid. While 1t was not
specifically stated that the men who are
in the business would have to quit if they
did not pay, that is the general SUPPOSE
ton There are about twenty dealers in
liquor in this city and the tax as levied
upon them by the assessors figures up to
nearly $500 on valuation of over 800, =
00O There are six dealers whom the as
SCISSORS have down on the list at $40, 900
and there are ten whose valuation has
been placed at $4,000, and four at $4,000. In
addition to the liquor tax all of these
parties will be Obliged to pay the usual
tax on their personal ana real estate.
The idea OF making this tax is to do
away, so it is said, with many of the
places in town and also to raise money
for city expenses, the specific object of the
latter it is reported, being to get money
to pay for the running expenses OF the
police department.. Some say that on ac-
count of the assessors having made this
tax that the dealers win not be fined as
usual by the high court.
Some of the dealers were very much
surprised toIhave their valuation placed at
SO high figure when it is fact that
they do not have $50 worth of goods in
their places of business at any one time.
There are many who say that the tax is
illegal and cannot be collected because
the assessors have no legal right to tax an
iIlegttinate business. The whole matter
is one that has caused great deal of talk
and it is regarded as one of the most in
teresting happenings which Calais has
had for many a day. Further develop
ments are likely to take place and on ac-
count of the matter being anovelty in the
prohipitory question it cannot fail to att
tract attention all over the state.

New York Journal of Commerce.
Since the announcement recently made
in these columns regarding the organiza-
ton and plans of the Manhattan Steam
ship Company, which is to start new
and extensive service this fall between
New York and leading New England
ports, it has been alleged in various
quarters that the new company would
endeavor to secure business by cutting
artes, especially to and from points
where water competition was encoun-
tered. 1t has also been alleged that the
new enterprise is an amalgamation of
certain lines, and the criticism has been
made that the New England trade Is not
sufficient to warrant the establishment
of such a service between this port and
the principal ports OF that section, chiefly
Maine.
When questioned yesterday by a repre-
sentative of this journal as to these re-
ports and statements, prominent officia
of the Manhattan Steamship Company
denied most emphatically that it was the
company's intention to cut rates. He
also stated positively that the company
was not an amalgamattOn OF any lines,
but was an entirely new enterprise. AS
to the statement that the New England
trade was not sufficient to warrant the
starting of a new service, he gave statis-
tics and data to show that the outlook is
very encouraging. The details of the new
service, as published recently in this
journal, have attracted widespread atten-
tion throughout the New England sec
ton and among transportation interests
and merchants in this city and other
parts of the country, and the outcome of
the enterprise is being awaited with no
little interest. The official OF the COM
pany above referred to said yesterday In
the course of his remarks: awe do not
intend to cut rates. We are q practical
company and practical men do not cut
rates. The Manhattan Steamship Com
any will conduct a legitimate business
and Will observe prevailing water rates.
III competitors start in to cut the Man
haitian will follow suit, but 1t most de-
cidedly will not take the initiative AS
for our having consolidated various lines,
there is no truth in the report. The en-
terprise is new from the beginning We
VIII own our six boats and will start all
of the different services between this and
New England points as early In the fall
as possible. We will have rates for
different classes of freight and will work
with the official classification, and will
be able to give through bills of lading

ALREADY EXISTS.

AS to the opportunity for business for
a new steamship service such as the Man
haitian the official quoted said:
''Part Of the business which we expect
to get already exists, the rest we will en-
deavor to create. BY the latter statement
l mean that there is vast amount OF pro.
duce. ETC., which now does not reach any
market but would find a ready sale in
New York and other trade centres, and
which only awaits adequate transporta-
tion facilities. The lumber industry Of
the State of Maine, for instance, is very
extensive. Bangor shipped last year

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
UNDERWOOD SPRING.


It was a most satisfactory programme
that the Fadettes played yesterday, and
the audiences were greatly pleased with
the march and waltz, as well as with the
selections from 'sThe Bohemian Girl
and the rag time melodies. The duet for
flute and saxophone by Misses Ball and
Dunn afforded genuine pleasure, being
rendered with a degree of expression and
good musical taste that won for it the
highest comDendation from the musical
people present. Miss Balls excellent
flute playing is so familiar to all our
people that no added praise Is necessary.
Miss Dunn handledlthe saxophone with
an ease that proves long practice. The
music for this afternoon and evening will
be the same as yesterday. The Sunday
concert at q p. m. should be kept in
mind, for the full orchestra will sthen be
heard in a programme of high grade
music. The big cars are now able to
handle the crowds at all times without
delay, and every body can get a seat.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY,

SAN FRANCISCO, September T.
Stanford does not show the marked in
crease in numbers which her rival
across the bay does in this years re-
gistration, yet she has a small increase
over last years total. The total for
the first three days of 1899 was 104S,
while 1900 Guns up 110l. This 11Ol total
for three days registration will run
the entire number enrolled in the uni
versity up to about 140O for the year
of 1900.
The entering freshmen class falls
short of last years class by over $50
students. The total to date in this
class is 225, and to this number there
will be about fifty more added when
the DIFFICULTIES over entrance credits
are Strengthened out. Last years class
had over live hundred and fifty stud
ents. The reason given for the marked
falling off is that the entrance require
ments have been made harder The
great number of advanced students at
tracted to Stanford from other colleges
keeps the total number of students
above the total of last year.
The percentage of women in the class
of '04 is not as large as that of 'O3.
