active demand from all quarters, new
era seems to be opening for the lumber
industry of Maine, and with the extern
sion OF the northern and eastern railroad
systems important developments in this
direction may be expected.
The encouraging condition of the hard
wood lumber trade in the southwest Is
indicated in the following despatch from
Memphis, Tenn:
The hardwood lumber industry in this city
and in the entire Memphis district has shown
marked Improvement during the past ten days,
the demand having been materially better and
the volume of business much larger than for a
number of fortnights past. The Improvement
has not been confined to any particular quarter
but has been general.
Large firms here who make a specially of the
export trade have been advised through their
resident agents both In England and on the
continent of healthier condition both as re-
CARDS the demand for hardwoods and the prices
paid for them, and have advised prompt ship
ments of items in best CALL including white oak,
plain and quartered, ash and three by nine red
gum for paving blocks. Business In that quar-
ter has been practically suspended during the
summer and the return of healthy feeling lie
hailed with unmingled delight
The manufacturers of doors. sash and blinds
are calling for cypress In larger quantities than
formerly. But most of the cypress available
here has been sold on contracts long ago. Pop.
lar is being called for with more than usua,

The coming session will witness a
serious campaign for irrigation in
the western states. There is said to
be an understanding between the rep
resentatives from Montana, Nevada,
Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska and some
of the territories, and that important
legislation will be pressed. The fact
that the President has had western
experience and thoroughly under
stands the situation, leads the friends
of irrigation to believe that the pres
emit is an exceptionally favorable time
to press their views, and they are con-
fident that definite and progressive
legislation will result.

OBITUARY.
ELBRIDGE E. MORRISON.

ELbRIDGE L. MOkEiHON-
Elbridge Z. Morrison, one OF Els
worth's Oldest citizens, died Sunday
morning at his home in the Morrison dis
trict. He was in the seVenty-ninth year
of his age. He had been in poor health
many years.
Mr.. Morrison died in the house in
which he was born, which is one OF the
oldest in Ellsworth. The frame, in fact,
is said to be the oldest in the city, having
been moved from the vicinity of Pond
spring to its present site, the top OF Nor
rison's hill, nearly ninety years ago. 1t
was the home of Mr.. Morrison's father,
the late Des. Joseph Morrison, and OF his
father before him, one of the original
settlers. The locality has been known as
the Morrison district from this family for
a century.
The late Mr.. Morrison lived the quiet
life OF farmer on this place all his years.
He leaves three chiIdren-M Henry W.
Estey, and Mrs. Scott S. Estey, both of
Ellsworth, and Joseph Morrison, of Bay
side. He is survived also by one sister,
Mrs. PAMELA Morrison, who lived with
him.
Funeral services were held at the house
yesterday afternoon, Rev. Davi Kerr, OF
the Baptist church, officiating.

The great gains in our trade with
the Philippines are source of much
qualification. The returns show that
for the nine months ending with
March, 1901, our exports to the Phil
sppines have increased 81 per cent.
over the same period ending with
March, 1900. During the same period,
American enterprise was making it
self felt in the islands to an extent
that increased the total exports by "a
per cent. The value of goods sold to
the islands by this country for the
nine months above stated was $1,000
COO, while for the entire year of 1896,
our total trade amounted to only
s125, GOO. Moreover, the figures show

The Isthmian Canal. y

While no definite official statement
has been made, President Roosevelt
has permitted it to be made known
that draft for new Hay Paunce-
fote treaty is completed and will be
handed to the Senate as soon as Con-
gress convenes.
The prominent features of the new
treaty are the supercedence of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty by the new
convention, the guarantee of the
United States that the canal shall be
neutal, and the exclusive right of the
United States to fortify it. These are
practically the only points that ex-
cited opposition when the former
treaty was before the Senate, and now
that they conform to the Senate's
recommendations, there is every rea
son to believe that the treaty will be
promptly ratified.
The ratification of this treaty will
remove the chief obstacle to Canal
legislation, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that definite action leading
to the construction of an Isthmian
canal will be taken by the Fifty
seventh Congress.
The next question to be settled is
that of route. The choice lies be-
tween the Panama, the Nicaragua and
the Tehauntepec routes. The merits
and dement's of the first two are well
known, while of the last but little is
known. 1t is not thought likely that
the Walker Isthmian canal commits
sion will recommend any specific
route, but that it will content itself
with comprehensive discussion of
the advantages and disadvantages of
all three.
The Panama route would avoid the
dangerous shoals and the high winds
of Lake Nicaragua, and might prove
the best from a purely commercial
standpoint, but it is understood that
the Nicaraguan route is regarded as
the best from a military standpoint,
and that is the consideration most
likely to weigh with Congress. Sem
ator Morgan believes the Nicaraguan
route will be adopted.

President Roosevelt returned from
the Yale bi- centennial at New Haven
Thursday morning, and on Friday
held the first fully attended Cabinet
meeting of his administration. He
somewhat surprised his Cabinet by
the announcement that he would
write his entire message himself in
stead of calling upon the various
members to write those portions deal
ing with the work of their respective
departments. He further stated that
it was his intention to state the facts,
without making recommendations, in
regard to several of the important
matters Congress would have to- con-
slider. He read some excerpts from
the message, and the impression of
his advisers was that the paper would
be a conservative, terse production,
probably somewhat shorter than has
heretofore been the case. 1t is said
that he will recommend the establish
ment of department of commerce
and industry.

Secretary Root returned to his desk
last week and found many important
affairs awaiting him, the chief being
the disposition of troops for the Phil
ippines. The expiration of terms of
enlistment during the next three
months will reduce the forces by
about 10, 900 men, and in view of the
recent trouble in Samar and the
recommendation of Lieut.. Gen.
Miles, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Gen.
Macarthur, it has been determined to
maintain the present strength of
about 40, 900 men until further devel-
opments warrant its reduction. No
increase is contemplated, but it will
be necessary to establish numerous
small garrisons in order effectually to
police the islands and maintain order.

DEATH IN A FIRE.
milwaukee, Residence Burns and Five
Children Lose Their Lives
by SuffOcatiOn.

Milwaukee, Feb. Five children
met death by suffocating and one
woman was fatally burned in a fire
in the dwelling of Andrew Luebke
Saturday night. The Luebke cottage
is in Bay View at the corner of Rus
sell and Clement avenues. When the
fremen responded to an alarm at ten
o'clock Saturday night they found the
house locked. They broke in the doors
and quickly extinguished small
blaze in the kitchen. In the bedroom
were found the dead bodies of the
five children, who had evidently been
suffocated by the smoke which filled
the house. Behind the stove in the
kitchen lay the body of an Old wom-
an, yet alive, but unconscious and
badly burned. She was taken to the
emergency hospital and is not likely
to recover. The children were two
boys and three girls, the oldest -
years, the youngest four. The parents
were away from home and left the
children in charge of Mrs. Baywater,
the old woman found in the kitchen.
The fire was evidently caused by an
overturned lamp.
