WHO OWNS FIG ISLAND.
That Will BE n Question for the
Court to Determine.

The city is making test of the own
ership of Fig Island. 1t is its claim
that the ownership is vested in the
city, while a counter claim is made
that it is the property of Thomas e.
Shiels.
The city admits Shells ownership of
the western portion of the island, but
it holds that he does not own the east
ern half. This view has long been en-
tertained by the city, but there has
been question raised by Shells. The
city limits were extended to include
Fig Island, and the property is now
taxable.
Notice was served on H. M. Morgan
who holds the island under a lease
from Thomas E. Shells, that he would
be given twenty-four hours to tear
down a shanty on the eastern part Of

LAST OF CAMPAIGN.
Hon. n. M. Heath Says Trusts Began
in CIeveIand's Time.

Bath, Me-. Sept. THE last Repuh-
lican rally of the campaign was held
ut the Alameda, last night. The Hon.
Herbert NJ. Heath of Augusta. delivered
the principal address. He told of the
work of the Republican party both in
State and national politics for 40 years,
and closed with rather 2 lengthy dis
cussion of the trusts. He said:
This is the all absorbing question
of the hour and will be two years
hence The Democrats credit the Re-
publican party with responsibility fog
the formation of the trusts. A close
examination of the subject, however.
shows that when they first begun to be
formed in alarming frequency was dur
ing the Democratic administration from
1S92-lS96. People are crying for Con-
gress to break the trusts, yet during
President Cleveland's second admins
tration he announced that under the
limitations of the federal constitution
Congress was powerless to interfere
until the constitution was amended
That same condition holds true. today.

WILL NOT RUN.
No Thompson Liners to Come to Port
land This Winter.

Portland. Me-. Sept. THE latest
rumor in steamship circles is to the
effect that the Thomson liners will not
come here this winter This seems TO
he founded on the best of authority.
AS the report has it, the Thomson lire
will not come to this port at all this
season. but the London service will be
continued, though by another concern.
Thomas Harling. now of the Mont
real offices of the Leyland Line. will
open a special London service at this
port. boats leaving every week.
Other sources say that sailings Will
be weekly, but that the sailings for
London will be only bi-weekly. The
steamers will go to London one Satur-
day and the next Saturday to Ant
werp. "A new service for this city.
In regard to the other steamship
lines. there will probably be no
changes. The Allan Line. as it now
seems. will run the same Glasgow SER
vice from this port that it did last
wear. 1t is practically settled that the
Elder Dempster Line will operate boats
from this port, though some say that
il is still doubtful. The Hamburg
American Line will probably have the
same service as last year, one boat ev-
cry month.
With steamers from all these differ
ent lines. with the exception OF the
Thomson Line. the sailings from this
port will be about the same as last
wear though the Dominion Line will
not run semi weekly service.
