by a good wagon read of easy grade four
miles southwest of Loomis. The property
consists OF twelve contiguous locations the
Utica and the orc Elmo being the central
and prominent ones. The vein on the Utica

cuts across the whole width where the I~es-

exploration 1t is not less than ninety Feet
in width. 1t is mineralized clear across and
in many places shows from five to eight
feet of solid ore. which IN numerous assays
reveals not less than 10 per cent. copper
and enough gold to carry the values into
figures ranging from $40 to s5s. 4 shaft is
being sunk on each side Of this singular
mineralized intrusion, or following the ere

ON THE STUMP.
A Portland MANS Experience I'm New
York.

Mr.. Walter G. Emerson OF this city has
Just rstnrned from New York where he
was engsgsc In speaking for the Republic
can ticket for SIX weeks during the cam
paign. He had a most exciting and sue
oessfuI tour.
Altogether he made about eighty
speeches For the first four weeks he
spoke In New York city, Brooklyn and
the cities and towns Of the southern part
OF the state and then he was seleeted BY
the state committee as one OF the speak
ers to accompany Governor Rooseveie In
his tour by special train through New
York state The trip lasted two weeks and
extended through thirty counties.
MIR. Emerson also spoke with Governor
Roosevelt at bis home In Oyster Bay the
night before election. the last meeting of
the campaign. In spite OF the fact that
during the last two weeks he spoke from
three &c seven times day, be returns
home IN good health and good voice.
A reporter for the PRESS called on Mr..
Emerson Saturday and asked him his
Impressions of Governor Roosevelt and
his remarkable campaign.

and vitality" was the reply, land then
his integrity and honest purpose impress
one at once. lie drives home an argu-
ment with great power and wherever he
camped on the Bry9n's trail he beat him
easily at his own game. He poured a
good deal OF hot shot into the Tammany
ranks and before he had been two days
on his New York trip 1t became evident
to all on the train that there was an or
ganized attempt all along the line to
break up the meetings and arouse the
Governor to anger. But although under
great stress at times he kept his temper
and maintained his dignity throughout.
and on the Saturday before election he
completed what was probably the most
remarkable campaign tour ever attempt
cd by q candidate on national ticket.
He is very popular among all CLASSES In
New York state and especially SO among
the younger element In politics.

CURRENT COMMENT.
GRATIFYING RECOGNITION.
New York Post. }

1t has been gratifying to observe the
temper In which the triumph OF the Re-
publican candidate in last Tuesday, 5 cleo
tion has been taken by leading members
OF the party. There has been general
rec~ 1nition OF what every candid OBJ
server recognizes to be the two funda-
mental elements In the result-that 1t
was not a partisan victory, and that the
sound money cause was what attracted to
the Republican NOMINEES most OF those
Democrats who supported him. "fou are
here," said Mr.. Mckinley to crowd at
SALEM o., on his way from Canton to
Washington Wednesday, Ito celebrate q
victory won. not by a single party but by
the people Of all parties" On the same
day Gov. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay re-
marked that 1.-The American people as a
whole has shown it's sobriety, It's good
sense, and its resolute adherence 70 the
cause OF civic honesty and national
be matter of the keepest gratitude to
notice the way those Democrats who are
staunch believers In sound money and
civic honesty, and in the honor of the
flag have Joined hands with their Repub-
lican brethren. They will share with
campaign managers have talked in much
the same strain. 1.-The Republican or
ganization has not won this fight" SAID
Mr.. Manley of Maine In a little speech
on Wednesday. ''lt has been won by the
people. This Is not partisan Republican
victory. We could not have won this
magnificent battle but for the loyal Dem.
ocrats who have sustained us through the
contest" Even Senator Hanna's inter
probation of the result runs along the
same lines. 1t happened, he said yester-
day, "beoause the peopl " were overwhelm-
ingly in favor OF sound money, law and
order, and continuation Of the political
conditions which mean prosperity to the
country. The questions OF patriotism and
loyalty to the age were strong features in
the campaign, and that, together with
the aid OF those you all Sound Money
Democrats, but whom We call American
citizens, all combined TO bring about the
results " Leading Republican newspapers

temper Of the party as whole Is com.

paper, taking tnn oocasion 60 say that
he intenas TO remain IN politics and speak
and write In defence OF the political doe
trines he believes in. A newspaper
would, It might be supposed, prove an
ex ceedingly good vantage ground for
the propagation OF his ideas. but unless 10
was his own 1t might put him under
some constraint. Evidently what Mr.
Bryan wants is perfeot frssdom to speak
and to act In the way that shall best pro-
mote his purposes. What those purposes
areswiIl appear eventually. hut 1t may be
safe to guess that he has not Jet put away
presidential ambition. II be Is really con-
tempiating another campaign for the
Democratic nomination he has nercu-
lean task bsfore him. There were signs
enough that ne was the candidate this
time by sufferance. Doubtless he had an
enthusiastic following. but his support OF
cient to nominate him had the South,
which was not at heart favorable to him.
asserted itself as IL might have done.
Four years hence it 10 scarcely possible
that this section Will be content to follow
q section which has contributed only q
bsggariy half dozen electoral votes to It's
hundred and thirty. On the contrary IL
will be likely TO insist ON exercising the
power and influence selecting the candi-
date which rightfully belong TO IT. That
that power and influence will be exerted
for man who has twice led the Democra-
cy TO defeat and who has never been very
grateful to the Democratic leaders In the
South is vastly improbable. Moreover
among the Democratic masses at the
North there Is sure to grow up a strong
opposition 20 accepting man as leader
for third time who has twice led the
party to overwhelming disaster. Indeed
this feeling is already beginning to make
itself manifest. Bryan has had his
chance and must now give way to some
body else, is q phrase that frequently
falls from the lips Of Democrats nova
days.

1t appears from an article in the Fort
nightly Review, written by Sir Robert
Hart, the British manager OF the Chinese
customs service. who was in Pekin during
the siege of the embassies, that the
trouble In the capital was precipitated by
the attack of the allied forces on the Taku
forts. The Chinese government construed
that as an act Of war and Immediately
notified the foreign ambassadors to with
draw from Pekin within twenty-four
hours. They refused, expecting that the
allies would march to their relief imme-
diately. Sir Robert says the escape OF the
embassies Was due to the power and In
fluence of some of the Chinese. The
Chinese regulars had they been unre-
strained could easily have demolished the
legation buildings In few hours. Here
is the explanation of the remarkable fact
that the embassies were able to hold out
so long. They We're really saved by Chi
nese influence. Sir Roberts article puts
the Pekin affair in light much more
favorable to the Chinese. No explanation
seems possible, however, that will miti-
gate the crimes committed against the
missionaries at Pao Ting Flu and other
stations.
