We have not yet encountered the full
rigor of the new caucus and registra-
ton law, but have found that even the
lawyers differ as to its Interpretation;
and have no doubt that, as has been
the case with the Australian ballot law,
it will tend to disfranchise quite per-
centage of voters. The Journal OPP
posed the Australian ballot law from
the first, and has seen no reason to
change the position then taken. 1t is
opposed now, and will continue to op-
pose, every measure that tends to pre-
vent the voter from exercising his right
of suffrage. Instead of placing OBJ
structions in his way in the shape of in
tricate, if not unintelligible laws, the
way to the polls should be made easy,
that every voter may deposit his bal
lot, and have that ballot counted. In
brief, The Journal is now, as always,
for free ballot and fair count, and
it does not believe that either is posi-
BILE under the existing laws governing
elections.

Presumably the proposed extension
of the Bangor and Aroostook railroad
to the coast is needed and will pay if
built, but it seems as though the lines
of the Maine Central that are already
built ought to furnish the desired facil-
tiles at as low rates as a new road
could carry it; for we take it for
granted that the Maine Central would
haul the cars at as low rate as pos
sible rather than to lose the business
entirely.-Gardine Reporter-Journal.
The Maine Central cannot furnish
the facilities sought by the proposed
extension of the b. & A. to tide water.
Lumber cannot be profitably shipped
by rail to distant points. 1t is esti-
mated that some 2oo,Qo0,000 feet of
logs are now annually driven down the
st. John river to be sawed into timber
at the mills along the river, but princi-
pally at st. John, from which port it is
shipped. This business would be trans
ferred to Maine with the building Of
the projected road, and the handling,
manufacture and shipment of this vast
output of the Aroostook forests would
mean a good deal to our State Then
the development of Aroostook would
be greatly promoted by the building of
this new road, and the Maine Central
would share in the general increase in
trade and traffic. All the passenger
travel east and west would be over the
Maine Central, and it would gain rather
than lose in freight.

NEXT IN NEW ORLEANS.
Knights of Pythins Will Meet in the
 Crescent City.


 Louisville. Ky, Aug. 19.-The Su- preme Lodge of Knights of Pythias to- day decided to hold their next biennial encampment in New Orleans.
 The fight between New Orleans and Nashville had been on actively since the opening of the encampment last Monday, and the presentation of the claims or the two contestants yester- day and today was one of the features of the executive session of the lodge. New Orleans won by a vote of 99 to AL. The encampment will be held ths third Tuesday in September 1906.
 The Supreme Lodge has adopted nev' uniforms and equipments for all of- ficers of the Pythian army. except gen. eral officers and the officers of the gem eral staff. The uniforms adopted are practically the same as worn by the officers of the United States army.
 The full dress uniform for all regi- mental officers and members of the rank, has been discarded. The regular fatigue uniform must be worn by all companies organized and mustered Tn from and after the promulgation of the revision of the rules and regulations. These changes do not meet with the approval of the uniform rank as an en- . tirety, and had 1t been left to their vote they would not have been made. The ruling of the Supreme Assembly, how ever, Is final.

Savannah, Ga., Aug. 1s.-Capt. Rob- ert M. Hitch, who commanded the troops that were overpowered by the Statesboro mob, has no intention of de- manding a court martial or a court of inquiry. Neither, however, he said to- day. has the slightest terror for him as he Is fully convinced that he acted as the occasion demanded and that he would have successfully defended the prisoners without firing shot had 1t not been for the treachery. he claims the deputy sheriff who seized him, showed.

If, after sa eE animation of my report and the state ments appended, the Governor thinks have been derelict to my duty, he may have my resignation. I would not con- test his decision.
 Captain Hitch's friends are rallyine to his support. hundreds assuring him of their confidence and their belief that his course was right and proper. They talk calm, consideration of the compre- hensive report he has made would sat isfy any competent military court of
 the wisdom of the plan he had adopt ed for the defense of the prisoners.

Fears That China Has Grossly Viola
 ted Its Neutrality.

New York August 19.-In an inter- view with the Herald correspondent at Bar Harkor, Count Cassini, the Rus- sian ambassador, discusses at length the Ryeshitelni incident at Che Fee. The question instead of being closed, he says. Is just opened: and in an in ternational sense, 1t is regarded by the American ambassador ar far more serious than any problem since the ad- justment of the Boxer troubles.
 T regard the matter in such a seri- ous light" he said. because 1t is in fair way to terminate suddenly and finally the international agreement for the maintenance of the neutrality of China. That would be a calamity because of the dangers with which 1t would threaten not only China. but every nation that is interested in China"
 few incidents of similar charac- ter, the ambassador believed might possibly force a war upon China as at present the entire matter stands where 1t did before Secretary of State Hays not to the powers on the subject of China's integrity and neutrality being respected by the combatants.

CONDUCT OF MILITIA.
Captain Hitch Alleges That Sheriff Be-
 trayed His Plans.


 trayed His Plans.
 Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-According to a special from Statesboro today, the town and surrounding country are quiet and no more disturbances have been reported.
 The chief interest now centers about the attitude of the Statesboro military company regarding its part in the work of last Tuesday. Lieutenant Cone, who was in command of the local company, is quoted as saying that he no longer wants to be "tin soldier" He is reported to have said that with his company of forty men he could have protected the two negroes from the mob. As the mob passed by the guard tent, soldiers were gathered there, who. had the order been given, could have taken them prisoners and held them against the mob.
 Lieutenant Griner second in com mand of the Statesboro company, is quoted to the same intent.
 Captain R. M. Hitch of Savannah. who was in command of the troops at Statesboro will demand, so 1t is re- ported, a court of inquiry of his con- duct and that of his soldiers. Captain Hitch in his official report alleged Sheriff Kendrick and his deputies be- trayed all his plans to the mob. The sheriff has entered a most emphatic denial of every charge and in effect charges the military with neglect of duty. '~
 The matter is in a state of rest until the return of Governor Terrell from St. Louis. He is expected here Mon- day and 1t Is certain from directions that he Is said to have made to his official cabinet here, that a most searching investigation will be order ed
