Across the Atlantic,

The U. S. battleship Kearsarge arrived
at Bar Harbor at 5.45 Sunday afternoon
and anchored in the upper harbor at
.Gl5.
Capt. Hemphill said: I'VE left the
Needles at l.25 p. M, on Friday, July
18th, and arrived at Mt. Desert at II 80
today, covering the distance of 1900
miles in nine days, four and one quarter
hours, an average speed of 1916 miles
an hour. The highest speed attained
was little over 10 knots an hour and
the slowest was ten. Three times dur
ing the trip, the ship was slowed down
once on account of being 10 the vicinity
of an iceberg, and twice on account OF
very thick fog. Head winds and thick
weather retarded the speed of the ship,
and under favorable conditions she
would have covered the distance In less
than nine days."
Captain Hemphill says that he could
start on a return trip at once and beat
the record made on this voyage. Since
the kearsarge left New York, 30 days
ago, she has visited Germany, Denmark
and England, has steamed s POO miles.
has been at sea twenty-four days and In
port 20 days, and during all this time,
there has not been a single accident to
the machinery, not break or a stop of
any kind. She Is ready for action.

Panic at Panama.

There is serious trouble in Panama.
Columbia. Shortly after O'Clock Satur.
day evening the Office of FL Lapiz, the or
gan of the Liberal party on the isthmus.
was visited by some officers of the gen
eral staff OF the army, who destroyed
Saturdays edition of the newspaper.
The news spread rapidly and In the Santa
Anas neighborhood where most of the
Liberals reside, sentiment rose to high
pitch and a few OF the prominent people
counselled retaliation. They took no
action, however.
The next event came like bombs
A company OF soldiers, apparently under
the orders of General Vasquez CODES,
commander OF the national forces, sur
rounded the residence of Governor Nuts
but the governor and his wife,. who is
an American lady, having been warned
few minutes before the arrival of the
troops succeeded In escaping.
Associated Press correspondent has
interviewed General CODES, who admit
ted differences with Governor Nuts be-
cause of the latter's refusal to pay the
soldiers who, he said, were hungry. He
said that Governor Nuts had systemati.
cally opposed everything emanating
from the military authorities, but denied
that he intended to arrest the Governor.

Unprecedented Issue

In the matter of the enforcement of
The game laws of Maine there is always
some new phase presenting itself. The
latest OF these came up In the course of
some prosecutions by the commissioners
up at Bingham, last week. Sherman
Bean, boss of crew of log drivers, en-
ployed by the keunebec Log Driving
Co., was arrested on the charge of
having two deer in his possession during
the month of June, which was contrary
to the laws of the State. Hon. l.. L.
Carleton of Augusta appeared for the
prosecution, while Hon. S. j. Walton of
the firm OF Walton q Walton, Skowhe-
gan, appeared for Bean.
After full hearing, Bean was adj
ldged guilty and the usual sentence
imposed. Mr.. Walton took an appeal
upon the ground that, as his client was
in charge of the crew in so far as its
labors were concerned and had nothing
10 do with the provisions which were
furnished the men, that being done by
the company, he was not responsible
for the deer being in camp and that they
were not in his possession, but in that
OF the company.
As this is the first time that defense
of this kind has been made in the pros
ecution of game case, it attracts much
attention. Several times In recent wears
lumbermen have been prosecuted for The
killing of deer Illegally and for having
1t In possession contrary to law, but
none of them have ever raised this point
in defense.
In case the supreme court sustains the
point, Chairman Carleton says that he
will prosecute the company.
Charles r. Mckay and Charles NJ.
Hackett, cooks, employed by the same
company, were convicted of having deer
in their possession in June. The deer
being the same ones for which Bean
was before the court, they having cook
ed and served the venison to the men,
bers of the crew. The usual penalty
was inflicted in their eases.-K ennebec

Modern sun Worshipers.

In Europe several persons now sedu-
lousy pay homage to the sun. and in
a learned journal, entitled LEcole
Nouvelle, one of them maintains that
the sun should be especially honored at
Christmas.
christmas should be regarded as a
festival for the benefit of humanity"
he says. "In this way we can once
more become united with the Aryans,
our ancestors, who worshiped fire and
who celebrated the birth of the divine
constellation, who is the father of
light, of heat and of life"
He then suggests that the following
prayer be said daily
20 thou who causcst lies to vanish,
who drivest away the evil influence of
prodigies, of malignant predictions, of
dreams and Of wicked apparitions- O
thou who bringest to naught the plots
Of the wicked, to thee we pray, Lord
Sun. since thou art the light Of the
world"

Carnegie Writes a Letter.

Andrew Carnegie in long letter in
the London Times warns Englang
against the tariff policy of Mr.. Chamber
lain. He sees danger of discrimination
against the United States which he dep
recates. The result he says might be a
war of tariff and in such a contest Great
Britain would suffer.
He continues: "There must be a
wiser and better policy for England
today than to attempt to revert to the
discarded policy of discrimination against
the republic which feeds her and fur
nishes the cotton which keeps running
30, 10000 Of her A 10000 spindles. A
word from the President cancels the
privilege now extended to Canada of
reaching open American ports through
American territory with all her exports
and imports, free of duty, for five
months in the year when her own ports
are icebound. She uses the privilege all
the Year The withdrawal of the priv-
lege given to Canada would probably be
sufficient to satisfy Great Britain that
the American people were in earnest.
Negotiations would soon begin and the
privilege so rashly disturbed would be
restored"
Upon this the Times remarks editori-
ally: 1--WE think more highly of Amer-
can instincts of fair play than to believe
that an honest attempt to improve our
position without injuring theirs will call
forth the Indignation with which Carne-
gle threatens US. 1t is just possible
that he does not know quite everything
about his countrymen.

Palaces of Wnters.

The principal Palace of Waters Is an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
FERROUS grandeur far beneath the city
of ConstantinopIe. It's roof Is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart and their capitals
are deliberately wrought
This marvellous building springs
from an expanse of waters which IN
derlies the foundations of the city for
miles. It's origin and extent have been
shrouded in mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some Of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace of waters was the
stately Palace of Ice which was built
In 1879 at the command Of Anne, en-
press of Russia, to honor the nuptials
of the Prince Gallitzin and a simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, in
rooms of which the walls and furni-
turc and bed We're constructed wholly
of frozen water.

An Orchid Tragedy.

Perhaps Madagascar has claimed
more orchid hunters lives and been
the scene of more revolving acts of
cruelty than any other place. Some
years ago a German orchid fnncier,
while seeking some specimens in the
forests of this island. was captured by
some of the native priests, who, after
covering him with OIL burned him
alive. Another collector who was
seized by some of the same priests was
allowed to choose between being burned
alive or himself setting fire to some
fagots on which lay another prisoner,
also an orchid collector, and thus saw
ing his own life, He chose the latter
alternative and died six months later
a lunatic.

Horse Breeders, Meet.

Horse breeders of Maine and the
Provinces recently organized an associ-
alton known as the Eastern Horse
Breeders Association, and they have
arranged to give their opening exhibition
at Maplewood Park, Bangor, August
4th, 9Th and Oh. it is claimed that
the public generally will realize that
here is an opportunity to see the best
exhibition of all classes of horses ever
presented in Maine, to say the least.
The racing will be of very high order,
as the entry list includes the very best
horses in Maine and the Provinces. AS no
hopples are allowed, and no jockeying
will be permitted, the visitor ought to
see some clean sport, and he undoubtedly
will. But this is not all, for in addition
to the races there will be an open air
horse show every forenoon, as we'll as an
auction sale of breeding stock and a
display of carriages, sulkies and harness.
There is also to be display of working
horses, something similar to what was
so very popular in Boston last spring,
when $50 horses were exhibited for
premiums, as well as for the approval
of the large number of spectators.
Liberal prizes have been offered for this
display and large entry list Is sure to
result. Railroads offer half fare for the

downward, sometimes almost perpendicu-
lar. sometimes banked with huge heaps

nacles and towers often surmounted with
eagle nests, and all painted, glowing with
the richest color-vast patches Of yellow
and orange, streakings OF red and blue,
with here towering abutment all of red,
and there another all of yellow. At the
bottom flows the cleaning green river,
and at the top the dark green forest
reaches to the canon-edge, and sometimes,
even, rugged and gnarled pines, the van
guard of the wood, venture over the pre-
cipice, to find footing on some ledge, or
to hang, half dlslodged, with angular
dead arms reaching out into the mighty
depths, resting place for soaring eagle
or hawk. The sides of the canon, being
not OF solid rock, but of crumbling, soft
formation, have furnished plastic mater
ial for the sculpturing of water and wind.
which have fooled them into thousand
fantastic forms. Ones eye traces out gi-
gantic castles, huge dog forms, bird
forms, titanic faces-all adding to the
awful impressiveness of the place.

grasping hard upon the railing lest the
dizziness of these heights unnerve him,
may behold hundred varied views of the
grandeur, looking either toward the falls,

to tie northward, where the stupendous
gorge widens out, loses some of its color
