There has been some controversy In
regard to the identity Of the official who
wrote the famous dispatch to Admiral
Dewey when he started from Hong Kong
for Manila harbor. In speech before a
Massachusetts, audience, last week, Sec
rotary Long told the story Of how the
famous dispatch to Dewey ordering him
to destroy the Spanish fleet at Manila,
was composed by an obscure clerk
"who it was" said the secretary, "God
only knows"-though he (the secretary
had signed 1t and had uniustly been
given the credit for it. Secretary Long
is not the man to take credit for what
does not properly belong to him. He
doesn't need to.

Hon. George G. Weeks Of Fairfield
mas been given considerable compliment
ary mention during the past week In
newspapers, because of his supposed
connection with the progressive Regis
ter" paper published here by Mr..
Roland T. Patten and other Skowheean
gentlemen associated with him. Mr..
Weeks connection with that publication
Is by no means intimate. He was sx-
pected to contribute an article upon the
Camden Water question In the discussion
OF which he took prominent part when
thebill was before the Senate, ,last winter,
out the article that appeared in the
Register" we are informed, was written
oy another gentleman, one personally
Interested In the issue by virtue of being
resident Of the town of Camden.
Senator Weeks would be welcome &C.
cession to the editorial fraternity Of
Maine, but we hazard nothing in stating,
that he has no intention, whatever, of
leaving successful practice of his pro-
lesion, the law, to engage in the already
crowded journalistic field. 1t requires q
newsgatherer Of keen, prophetic vision to
construct prospective editor out of a
lawyer who has no inclination to leave
hls profession.

you must say, Yes, thank you,' and II

During the nineteenth century 235
new comets were discovered as against
62 In the eighteenth century. The
nineteenth century also beheld great
er number of large and brilliant COM
cts than did its predecessor The finest
of these were the comets of 1911, 1S43,
1853, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1900
only one periodical comet was known,
Halley's. Now many are known. Of
which at least II have been seen at
more than one return to perihelion.

The Chicago Tribune has for some
years gathered reports of Fourth Of July
casualties from all the over country.
This year the reports show the number
actually killed to have been 16 against
20 last year, but the number of injured is
considerably larger, the figures given
being 1911 against 1925. Fireworks
ranks first as the cause of casualties and
the toy pistol comes next. The explo-
sion of cannon in the hands of those not
accustomed to their use seems to have
done the most serious injuries. Care
lessness enters very largely into these
casualties.

NEW CLIPPER LINE.

VANCOUVER, QB CO, September p.
A new line of sailing vessels is TO be
put on between this city and Liverpool,
England. The system is now being ar
ranged by the Vancouver Engineering
Works with some English capitalists.
The proposal was announced today at a
meeting of the City Council, when the
company sought to lease the city wharf,
which is the best available position on
the water front. 1t is intended to put
on four clipper ships at first and others
will then be built in Vancouver They
will all be steel ships, and as large cap
ital is available for the venture, it is ex-
pected that it will be a big success.
General cargoes of cannery supplies,
cement and other products will be
brought out here and return cargoes
will be Of salmon and lumber.

Fear the Company viii Steal q March

Pittsburg July 31.-The McKeesport
strikers We're restless all night and
there was more excitement than at any
time during the strike Rumors of the
company attempting to steal a march
on the ". DeWees-W oOd men and bring
in train load of non-union men while
pickets and patrols on the alert and
the evident readiness of both the Wood
and Dernler plants to start at a few
minutes notice increased the feeling of
uneasiness that was prevalent but no
attempt was made al either plant to re-
sumo The report that an agent was
coming to town to secure men for
Wellsville kept the strikers on the
anxious seat and 100 men kept watch
all night for him If found the strikers
asserted that they would put him on
a car and have him leave town. The
strikers are not as hopeful of a settle
ment of the strike as they were yes
terday-
Since the return last night of the Nc
Keesport men who were in attendance
at the conference the feeling that a
long strike is certain has become gen
eral and those close to the national Off
GERS of the Amalgamated association
seem to have lost hopes of any settle
ment being made at present. It is
currently understood that the terms
asked by Mr.. Morgan are nothing like
those which were published as consti-
tuting the agreement and that they
would necessitate steps which would
force matters to about the same point
they were before the strike.
