TO LAND ON IRELAND
The Port of the Canadian Pacific
Line of Fast Steamers
Quick Time. !,

Ne,U York SUI, Special Servtos
Chicago, Sept. SIT is planned by the
Canadian Pacific railroad to make a
landing on the west shore Of Ireland for
it's proposed line Of fast steamers from the
eastern terminus Of it's line to the British
islands. The English government Is said
to have approved the plan, after it was
demonstrated by the railroad people that
this scheme would give the best connec-
lions and the speediest route over which
to reach the West India possessions and
the colonies Of the south sea. AS an evil
dence Of the ability Of the road to make
fast time across the continent from Mon
treal to Vancouver, a ninety six-hour
train was put on few weeks ago. The
fact that the line will. in connection with
the Pacific steamers, fly the British colors,
be under the flag Of England from the
coast Of England, or Ireland, to the ter
mination Of the journey in the South Pa
cific, IS mentioned for its sentimental ef-
feet. Above all, however, Is the capacity
to make reported time for the transmits
sion Of mails, troops, munitions of war, or
the ordinary freight Of commerce, as we'll
passengers, who may have to pass be-
tween the home country and the colonies
on private or public business.

which hitherto has steadfastly stood in
the way of Canadian reciprocity, is rapid
ly undergoing change of heart, and may
be expected in the future to stand with
the west and northwest In advocacy of
that proposition. z. N. FOss. a candi-
date for congress in the twelfth district
Of Massachusetts, is making reciprocity
with Canada the principal argument of
his campaign, and Congressman Lover
ing, his opponent, is saying that If re-
elected he will do what he can to bring
it about. Other congressional nominees
are said to be taking similar ground.
Business men of New England who have
trade dealings and trade correspondents
in Canada have been told quietly that
unless within the next six months some
thing is done to bring about a better
feeling in Canada toward the United
States, tariff discriminating legislation
will be passed by the Canadian parla
ment. The warnings are practically Off
cial. The Canadian government is work
ing on a plan to secure reciprocity treat
les with European countries, which are
expected to wipe out the market now held
by American manufacturers in Canada.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, it is said, believes
the outlook In this country so hopeless
that he must look elsewhere, and he does
not feel bound to give any public warning
Of his schemes to New England or any
other sections of the north He prefers
an American treaty. however, if he can

MAINE VOTING TO-DAY
The Democrats Fave Tried Hard to
white a Hostile Ma
jority Down.

From, The Journal Bmreau. Room lk5, Post
Building. Washington
Washington, Sept, S.-Leading politi-
clans of both parties in Washington are
exhibiting unusual interest in the outcome
of the contest in Maine to-day. which
will be settled by the election Of full
set Of state officers and an entire house
delegation. The democratic managers of
the congressional campaign have exerted
themselves to the limit Of their resources
for more than a month in Maine. They
have sent every spellbinder available into
that state and have spent a good deal
Of money in so doing. If, therefore, the
returns do not show a noticeable demo-
cratic gain, Chairman Griggs and his
associates will be the subject Of a great
deal Of criticism from men who have con-
tributed to this campaign fund as we'll as
from the leaders Of the party in congress.
1t is generally believed here that there
will be a smaller vote in the pine tree
state to-day than there was in the
election four years ago, when, as now, 1t
was an off year" Two years ago the
state was carried for Mckinley by ma
jority Of over 10000. If the returns show
a majority Of $1,000 the republicans will
be satisfied. Maine republicans do not
vote very enthusiastically except in pres
idential years. Unless the democrats cut
the majority down 10, 900 1t Is generally
conceded that they will have nothing to
brag about w. W. Jermane.

Washington, Sept. S.-The sum of gold

that of any previous time In the history of

ception, it exceeds that Of any country at

country was preparing to resume gold
payments. At that time Russia is said to
have had in it's treasury $59S,o00,000 In
gold. Last Saturday. the vaults Of the
United States treasury contained 1878,
936,194, an increases since July 1, 1901, 'of
$79,0S7,S97. This stock of gold Is now be-
ing added to at the rate Of from 5000, 00C
to 100000 a day. with no immediate
prospect of a cessation in the deposits
This condition of things is eminently sat

gard it as the best possible evidence OF
prosperity and of confidence in the finan.

RAIN Is NEEDED
The Only Thing That Will Check
the Cholera Endemic.

San Francisco, Sept. s-A bountiful
downpour Of rain is the only remedy
which will check the cholera epidemic now
raging in the Philippines. So said Cap
tain E. N. Southall, a surgeon in the
United States army, who has arrived
here on the transport Buford. Captain
Southall was for a time in charge Of the
cholera hospital In Manila. In speaking
Of the epidemic, Captain Southall said:
THE Americans in the Philippines seem
unable to cope with the cholera plague
Despite the rigorous methods used to sup
press it, the disease seems to spread and
increase. It is very difficult to get cor
rect figures of the mortality. because the
natives hide their dead and try to keep
knowledge Of the presence Of the disease
from the authorities"

Mr.. Powell, the Uniteu states minister to
Haiti, reported promptly to the state de-
