MR.. WESCOTT'S TOUR.
Interesting Observations of Euvope as
1t is Today.

Hon. George p. Wescott, who has just
returned from a two months tour of
Europe, has returned in excellent health,
much benefited by the trip. Mr.. Wes-
colt, who journeyed with a party of New
York friends, landed at the German city
OF Hamburg. He visited some time in
Berlin and other German cities before
proceeding southwark Mr.. Wescott says
that Germany is fully alive to modern
progress and development, and there is q
general national unity and ambition.
The young Emperor, with his energetic
ways, has become generally popular with
his people, and seems likely to have d
prosperous reign. Mr.. Wescott visited
several OF the most famous cities of Ger
many and Austria, including Dresden,
Vienna, and that most famous Of resorts,
the interesting and curious city of Carls-
bad. Vienna was found to be most in
teresing and enterprising city, its life IN
many respects resembling that of an
American city.
In Italy Mr.. Wescott happened to ar
rive in Rome just in time to witness an
unusually imposing ceremony, the conss-
Grafton of a new saint by the Pope in St.
Peters. That famous edifice contained an
audience of about thirty thousand ON this
occasion. When it is remembered that
one of the great American convention
halls, like the one used at Philadelphia
recently, holds but twenty thousand peo-
pie, one gets q new idea of the vastness of
the worlds most famous church. The
Pope was borne in, waving his blessing
to the assembly with his right hand He
appeared quite aged and feeble but in the
full possession of his powers of mind.
From Rome, Mr.. Wescott passed to
France by way of the Riviera, and then
visited the Paris exposition. In his
opinion It is a great exhibition, although
hardly to be compared with the Fair at
Chicago because it is SO different in char
acter. The predominant idea of the
French exposition, as it impressed the
visitor, seemed to be artistic rather than
commercial or mechanical Yet the me-
chanical and commercial exhibits are
very numerous and interesting In ma
ehinery the enterprising Germans press
the French very closely. An especially
noteworthy feature of the mechanical dis
play IS the astonishing array of auto
mobiles. Two things about Europe inn
pressed Mr.. Wescott very forcibly, the
great number Of soldiers everywhere; and
the exceeding righteousness with which
every inch of ground IS cultivated; the
one very likely being consequent upon
the other. In Italy the mountains were
terraced to their very tops with costly
stone walls in order to procure narrow
levels Of ground for cultivation.
In London there were fewer soldiers in
evidence, most of the Tommies being in
South Africa. London, however, did not
seem outwardly disturbed by the war
which is going on.

VOLUNTEERS AT CHIOKAMAUGA.

Information has been received from
Washington to the effect that Chicka-
manga National park is to be the main
rendezvous of the returning volunteer
soldiers from Cuba, Porto Rico, the Ha-
wall island, and the Philippines. 1t has
been selected as the main volunteer army
camp, and by November 1, unless the
situation in China becomes SO critical
that the presence of the volunteers will
be demanded on Chinese soil, a mighty
army will be located just outside OF
Chattanooga.
The Chickamauga National park has
been selected for camping grounds for
the volunteers for various reasons. First,
it is believed that in the fail of the year
it Will prove particularly healthy, and
IN the event the volunteers are cOntin-
ued beyond the present limit, the camp
win be particularly adapted for quarters
for the winter. A second reason assigned
is that the government owns the land,
and viii be at no expense for rent.
II tho present plans are carried out,
and the camp proves as satisfactory as is
generally believed it will, it is more than
probable that permanent barracks Will
be erected IN the park and a regular army
post established.

MORE CARRIERS NEEDED.

After a weeks trial of the Woodfords
carrier delivery system Postmaster Barker
is satisfied that the four carriers allowed
are entirely inadequate to cover the fifty
miles of streets in their prescribed dis.
tricts. Another difficulty arises from the
fact that when the Woodfords sub-station
was established five local post offices were
abolished and many of their patrons come
without the carrier limits. They are now
complaining bitterly and asking that they
be allowed carrier service. Postmaster
Barker estimates that two mounted car
riers and four foot carriers are necessary
for satisfactory work.

AN OLD SOLDIER.
story That one From Portland is Being
Wronged IN the West.

Postmaster Barker has received from
Rockford, Pennington County, South
Dakota. a letter giving some interesting
information about a man named Reube u
Vile, who has claimed that he formerly
lived in Portland and that he enlisted
for the civil war at or near Portland in a
Maine regiment. He has been in COM
munication with some Of his old com
rades recently, for Postmaster Bankers
formant says that about q year ago he
received letters from colonel or major
Of the regiment asking for certain infor-
nation as to the battle of Antietam
Vile Is now about 63 years old, and has
lived in that country many years. He
owns a ranch which is peculiarly valuable
because on it are several springs Of water
particularly desirable for use by cattle
owners IN that region. Postmaster Bar
ker's Informant says that, as he believes,
interested parties have trumpet mp
charges Of insanity against Vile and have
got him incarcerated in an asylum. This
was accomplished about a year ago, after
two trials, IN the first of which Vile was
sane. The ranch and stock. are
now bout to be disposed of, and the
writer Of the letter thinks that Vile will
be greatly wronged unless he has some
relatives in Portland or other parts of
Maine who can interfere.

The Firemen Were Called Out by
Them Again Yesterday.

At noon yesterday brisk fires again
broke out on the westerly portion of
Peaks island, and as theirs were indioa-
tions that a big conhagration would fol-
low an alarm was rung in from 48 at a
few minutes past two o'clock. A large
crowd gathered at Portland pier while
Engine made preparations to go to the
island. Chief Engineer EIdridge gave or
der for the fire boat to take 500 feet of
hose along and also mustered into service
thirty-two members of the department..
Arriving at the island the fire boat TIED
up at the Casco Bay companys wharf.
Chief Engineer Eldridge and Assistants
Hatch and Hodgdon then took trip over
the island and found that the fire was
still burning in those parts where it had
been raging last week. But no big fires
were found, about dozen of the Peaks
island company having done excellent
service with buckets. Chief Eldridge de-
cided that 1t would not be necessary to go
to the trouble and expense of again
stringing line of hose up over the hill
and across to the woodlots and swamps
where the fire was only smouldering. But
he left ten men at the island and in
structed them to work with the island
men in managing the fire with buckets.
When he left late in the afternoon he told
the nremen to stay at the island working
until it was dark.
AS soon as Engine had returned to
the city the 5000 feet of hose was taken
out OF the fire boat and again returned to
the houses where it belonged.
