try beyond the Mississippi-the country
now carved into the great States from
which so many of my hearers come-was
being governed territorially. a prototype OF
the modern anti-imperialist. the Hon.
Josiah Quincy, addressed the House of
Representatives in language that with very
slight variation might be used by his sue
cessors to-day. In a speech that would be
quite i'm place at the Kansas City conven-
ton, or in any anti-expansionist meeting
of to-day, he stated that his anxiety and
distress of mind were wholly unprecedent-
ed for with the admission of the trans
mississippi territory into the Union the
liberties and the rights of the whole peo-
pie of the United States were so COM
pietely upset as to justify a revolution.
lie declared that IL Louisiana was admitted
into the Union. then the Union ought inn
mediately TO be dissolved. He denounced
in unmeasured terms the territorial
avidity' of the American of the day. He
asserted that the Constitution was never
constructed to form a covering for the In
habitants of the Missouri and the Red
river country, and finally, when his pro-
phetic vision brought before him the awful
picture Of senators and representatives
west Of the Mississippi ar~rogantly assum-
ing a right TO take part In the legislation of
the country. he asked with a fervor worthy
OF the most pronounced neutrality-suspicious.
Ct to-day, DO YOU suppose the people of
the northern Atlantic States will or ought

tives and senators from the Red river and
Missouri country pouring into Congress,

PRIME ATTRACTION.
mile. FIJI" wtn be Repeated at the
Auditorium Tonight.

To satisfy popular demand, and
at the earnest request of Manager
Thompson, the Mile. Pillar NORM
company will repeat the perform
ance of "Mlle. Fi6" at the Audi
torium tonight. Our usually dis.
eliminating theatre-g ers were out
in very small force last night owing
to unfounded reports OF the impro-
priety of the play, but now that
this objection Is proven to be with
out ground, 1t IS reasonably ex.
pected that the patronage tonight
will be such as the attraction de-
serves.
"Mlle. Fi6" is clean, rollickiup
comedy of the French stripe, and
contains no line or incident that
should give offence to the most
prudish. Perhaps no comedy OF
recent years has attained the repu-
tation that 1t has for laug max
ing, and 1t Is not exaggeration to
say that better satisfied audience
than the one last night has not left
the Auditorium this season.
Mile. Moriu, the beautiful actress
who sustains the stellar role, is one
OF the foremost condolences on
the American stage today, and her
efforts at all times during the per-
tormance last night were delight
fully natural Associated with this
talented star are coterie of clever
players who bring out to the fulles,
all the manifold possibilities Of
word and action with which the
amusing comedy abouuds.

His first commission, that of second
lieutenant, was dated May ~, 1858, but
he had won the prize on account of his
services in field and camp long before he
was rewarded Had he been serving in a
Volunteer regiment instead of the regu-
lar army it is quite certain that his first
commission would have come sooner.
But it is no insignificant honor to OBJ
tain a second lieutenancy in the regular
army, especially when one has been pro-
NOTED from the ranks.
The beginning of the Spanish zAmeri-
can war in the spring of 1898 found our
soldier a lieutenant-colOnel, who had to
his credit, both as a line and a field Off
Ger, a most enviable record, and, basing
his action upon such record, the Presi-
dent appointed him in May, 1898, a brig
adler general of volunteers. Since this
deserved promotion Gen. Chatfee has
been constantly before the reading pub
lie. Ii Gen. Chaffee shall survive his
China campaign it is likely that before
he reaches the age of retirement he will
be placed at the head of the United
States army as it's cOmmander-in-ch1ef.
That he may live to return to his country
and to enjoy any additional honors that
may be in store for him every surviving
member of the old Sixth Cavalry who
served with him thirty weight and thirty
nine years ago most sincerely wishes

Splendid Attendance At Y. NJ. c. A.
Hall Last Night.
Mr.. Chapman T alks
About His Plans.
Something of the Artists Who
Will Appear.

Notwithstanding the excessive heat
nearly every seat on the stage was taken
last evening at the first festival rehearsal
awaiting the arrival of Mr.. Chapman
who Conducted in person. The work OF
the chorus was most commendable and
the time was devoted to selections from
Aida, Faust and Carmen with some mis-
cellaneous numbers. Next week Mr..
Chapman intends to spend the evening
on the Elijah and all the members are
requested to brig the proper score. The
president of the association. Mr., Wood
man, was delighted and remarked that
the attendance last evening was the
largest in the history of the festival at
it's first rehearsal.
Mrs. Chapman and Mr.. Whitmore
were Interested listeners and Mrs. Chap
man in very gracious manner spoke a
note of encouragement to all present and
urged them to continue along the line
which they had so successfully marked
marked out for themselves.
1t is Mr.. Chapman's intention to be
present each Monday event Dg with the
chorus until the grand festival and being
asked If he felt sure that all the distin-
guished artists whom he had announced
for October would be present, he re-
piled: Most assuredly. Many of them
are already in the country and Blauvelt
has been here some three weeks. Ma
dame Heink will sail about the 10Th Of
September. Campanari is in America
and by the way, he recently wrote me a
letter in which he said he was delighted
at the prospect of his coming to Port
land. -
"How about your nsw tenor, Mr..
Giles, do you think he win meet expec-
tations?"
II do most SURELY answered Mr.
Chapman, for he has won golden opin-
ions by his singing in the West ana will
make an equally good impression here.
Frangcon Daveis writes me that he shall
be glad to get to Maine once more and to
sing Elijah with the states wonderful
chorus -
Mr.. Chapman expressed his great per-
sonal satisfaction at the enthusiasm and
spirit with which the chorus had en-
tered upon its work. He leaves for Rock
land today, thence to Bangor to be pres
emit with the local choruses in these sec
tions of the state.
