A Corporation Meeting.

The adjourned meeting of Skowhegan
Village Corporation, called to receive
the report of the committee raised to in
vestigate the condition of the force
pump under Robinson Brothers mill and
report thereon, came off in Engine Hall,
Saturday afternoon.
The committee reported that it had
made the necessary investigation, and
concluded that the force pump in the To-
cation where 1t had been in operation in
former years could not be made effective
without mourning large expense In put
ting in a new fume, pen stock and
submerged when the water reached
certain height, and therefore it could
not be relied upon. Beside the place is
very difficult of access for repairs. In
view of this condition the committee re-
ported in favor of accepting PROPOSE
ton made by the Skowhegan Pulp Com
pany to allow the corporation to attach
a pulley to shaft in their mill, on the
first floor below the street floor, loea.
ton easy of access, to which the force
pump can be moved and set up at an ex-
pense of about $500. The Pulp Com.
pany guarantee the free use OF the pow
er for the use of the force pump when
ever needed and that without the Cor
poraton losing any of its rights under
the deed of the power where the old
wheel was placed. The report of this
committee was accepted and the sum of
$500 was voted to make the change re-
quired.
This apparently is very favorable
result and there is very little room for
doubt bur what the pump will be very
effective in new position. Ii will be ar
ranged so that access can be had to the
pump from the outside, anl when
the change is made it will be in
shape to be put into operation very
promptly and have the whole kennebee
River as a reservoir to draw from. This
is an important auxiliary to Skowhegan's
tire.fighting facilities and will be appro-
ciated by our citizens, particularly by
our business men.

long in Washington as almost to be re-
earded as a fixture. He was personally
popular, and to his genial tact, sound
Judgment, cordial good will and careful
diplomacy are due, in no small degree,
the good relations between the United

Portland Press The ministers
who got together in fremont Temple
and so fiereely denounced the conduct OF
our army In the Philippines should hav,
remembered that to ministers belongs q
considerable part of the responsibility OF
our ever being there at all. When tho
question of holding the Philippines was
first preached, great many of the
clergy very strenuously advocated the
affirmative on the ground that it was
clearly the design of Providence that we
should go there to civilize and Christian.
ize the people. No doubt they did not
expect what followed. They anticipated
that the people of the Islands would re
ceive us gladly. That proved not to b.
the case and conflict followed. That
this conflict has been productive of some
lnexcusable atrocities is true, but so has
every conflict In history between superi-
or and inferior people. Such atrocities
are Inevitable and we ought 10 be thank
full they are so few. If the people who
advocated the assuming of the sovereign
ty OF the Philippines had been loss urgent
some other way ofsettling the Philippin,
question might perhaps have been found
less productive Of bloOdshed and of cruel
acts which many ministers are now de-
nouneing in sensational terms.
