Portland Argus, and subsequently chief
editor Of the Portland Daily Advertiser,
which position he occupied at the time of
his death, March ID. 1864.
MI Simpson, " lp ueceeded Mr. Moore as
editor, had also learned he printers trade in
The journal Office, and those familiar with
the writings of both cannot fail to remark a
resemblance in their style and methods of
expression. Both We're apt in quotation,
witty, humorous, and strong in controversy.
AS one of Names veteran editors remarked
to the writer some years ago: 81 knew bet
ter than to tackle Simpson If he was ever
worSted in the controversies so common
in his day, but now happily unknown, there
is no recollection or record of it. Moore
and Simpson gave The journal a reputation
and standing second to that of no weekly
paper in the State Aside from his literary and
executive abilities Mr.. Simpson was past
master in the art preservative, and no detail
of the mechanical work on the paper es-
capped his vigilant eye. The compositor who
did not follow his rigid rules was sure to
hear from him. Sitting at his desk he would
listen to the running of the press, and if the
sound was not just right he would go to the
press room to see what the trouble was.
Machinery, ink and paper must be of the
best, and when new press was wanted he
had one built to order by Hoe & Co. That
press was discarded later, when The Jour.
nal was enlarged, but is still doing good
service in another Maine office.
William H. Simpson was born in Belfast
September "a, 1925, the son of Capt. Josiah
and Susan (Giles) Simpson. About 1889 he
became an apprentice in the Office of The
Republican journal, and later was employ
ed on the Waldo Signal. In 1886 he became
foreman of the LIMERICK Gazette, published
in Rockland. He subsequently became iden
titled with the Maine Telegraph Company

WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGS. The
administration has succeeded at last in
securing collection of opinions from
the leaders of the Senate of all politi-
cal parties upon which to base negOtia-
tions for new isthmian canal treaty to
replace the Hay-PauncefOte treaty. In
other words, it is aware of the wishes
of most of the Senators and the only
problem before the State Department
is to frame treaty that will reflect
these views and ensure two-thirds
vote. If, as reported from London, the
sine qua non is neutrality clause,
officials here feel that success seems
within reach. 1t is expected that two
drafts of a treaty will be framed before
long. 1t is hardly expected, however,
that final results will be attained
before the return of Lord Pauncefote
from London.. Adelbert Hay, son of
the Secretary of State, has resigned his
post as United States consul general at
Pretoria........Mrs. Harriet S. Blaine,
widow of the late James G. Blaine, has
placed on record deed in fee transfer

President and Mrs. Mckinley and their
party on their long excursion across the
continent and back made it's start April
29th precisely on schedule time over the
southern road. Before 10 O'Clock many
people had congregated about the sta
ton and when the President and Mrs.
Mckinley arrived, the building was
thronged. There was cheer as the
presidents immediate party drove up to
the station and alighted from their car
riages. Just as the minute hand of the
big clock touched the 1870 point, the
train started upon its 10000 mile jour
ney. The crowd cheered enthusiastic
cally and waved good bye. The demon
stration was continued until the train
left the environs of Washington, the
crowd extending well to the city limits.
