AUTOMOBILES.

The Locomobiie Co. of America have
placed the State agency of their Locomo-
bills in the handssof +. o. Bailey Car
riage Go. and hereafter all sales in Maine
will be made through that house. The
Locomobiie Company has done more than
any other company to demonstrate the
fact that motor vehioe could be con-
structed upon simple, safe lines and be a
success. The unsolicited testimony that
they are receiving from all over this
country and in Europe, OF the practical
and successful operation OF their ma.
chimes, demonstrates beyond question
that they have solved the horseless car
rlage. The motor vehicle that can ac-
complish what, as Is shown by letters
which they hold in their possession, 1t
has accomplished, Is proof that the ex-
perimental stage Is past and the practical
age is upon us.

SECRETARY ROOT PLEASED.

Washington, January 4.-Seoretary
Root said this afternoon that he was glad
to hear that the Supreme court has de-
cided that Nelly could be extradited for
the reason that the failure Of the United
States to return Nicely to Cuba for trial
for the embezzlement of Cuban postal
funds would give American justice a
black eye in Cuba, especially as the
United States was doing all 1t could to
reform and purify the administration Of
justice In that Island.

The wide field will feed q thousand hocks and herds; the sunshine, frost and rain will rear q hardy brood, and the rivers that run in glee, and the hills crowd ed with waiting metals, shall enrich land strong and prosperous and free.

For Acquisition of 70 More of the
 Philippine Islands.
 Washington. Jan 23.-The senate yesterday in executive session ratified the treaty with Spain for the acquisi- rion of the islands of Sibutu and Cayagan of the Philippine group at 8 cost of $l0O,0OO. There was no vote to spare. q two-thirds vote being need ed and the voting standing 3S to 19. In the debate preceding the ratifica- tion q number of senators manifested q disposition to oppose the further ac- Quisition of oriental territory. Sen ators Lodge and Chandler spoke in be half of the treaty and Senators Bacon, Money and Pettigrew in opposition. Senator Lodge. speaking for the com mittee on foreign relations, said that the treaty was made necessary by the failure to include the islands of Sibutu and Cayagan in the original negotia- ton by which we acquired the Phil ippines. and that it was necessary To acquire them to prevent Germany's getting possession of them. The Op- position senators replied that the land was worthless to the United States. and added that as there are no har- bors on the coast of any of them there could be no object in any other coun- try's taking them. They also charged that as the islands are in the Sulu group their population is polygamous and also that slavery exists on the islands

The mayor had this to say: 'The flag on city hall has been ordered at half mast in respect to Queen Victoria. During our Civil war when we needed friends, there was reason to believe Queen Victoria op- posed war with the United States. For nearly two-thirdS of a century she was our friend, or. at least. she was not unfrisndly.

More About the Trouble in Oak vile. More light is being thrown on the recent trouble at the Oakville Pin fac tory. This paper stated recently that the station agent had considerable to do toward getting the help fired, but now we find the reason an entirely different, but a justifying one. It seems that after the employees (some of them) left the factory at night for Watertown, they would commit any depreciation that they wished. This was reported to the superintendent Of the factory who declined to believe It.. X night or two after Mir Place, untitled himself up, procured team, and pro- ceeded to make investigation. When he returned to the factory he prompt ly had several of these discharged Although the dismissal of many of them wns justifiable. yet in the case of several of the girls. We think their being fired was wrong, as they were not concerned in these attacks.
