CANNON is LOST.
Beal Post of Bangor Looking for Faith
full Field Piece.

Ihe members of Il. II. Beal Post, r.
q. A. r., would like to know what has
become of the big brass cannon which
was stolen from a stable at Mt. Hope
The gun was mounted on a carriage
and was used in firing salutes at the
cemetery on Memorial days. 1t is I'M
derstOod that it has been seen in the
vicinity of Milford and the post has
several officers at work on clues.
The Grand Army men say they have
pretty conclusive evidence that the
cannon was taken from the stable by
University of Maine students out on a
lark. Then, according to good in
formation, it was made way with by
Milford men who want it for use in the
Fourth of July celebration in that town.
1t is reported that the cannon is
somewhere in the woods about Milford
but as yet it has not been recovered.
While they say they would have been
glad to have loaned the cannon if they
had been consulted, the Grand Army
men object to the way in which it was
secured and they are hot over the con-
duct of the college men whom, they
sly, are liable to severe punishment on
charge of breaking and entering.
Just how the cannon got to Milford
isn't plain but the whole matter is to

Discomfort BECOMES ACUTE.
Internal Situation in Russia of the
Gloomiest Nature.

London, July 12.-NewS of the internal
situation in Russia continues to be of
the glOomiest nature. The Russian
Prince UkhtOmsky in an interview re-
ports that the discomfort is becoming
acute. Every gathering, even for scien-
tifc purposes, becomes at once political,

prince, he approved by the police. who

HIGH BALL DISABLED.

New York. July 12.-Hieh Ball. the
American Derby winner. nd one of the
best of the 3-year-olds in training broke
his leg ut the ankle during the running

shot, as High Ball is insured for s2a.GU.
A telephone message was cent repre-

New York to come at oncesto look at the
Derby winner and end his agony.
Only three horses faced the starter for

High Ball was seen to falter and Odom

RUSSIAN PAPERS EDITORIAL.
"lf Things Go Badly Guns May 81

retaining all dispatches from the front.
However, n vague Tachekiao tele-
gram has been allowed to pass. saying
that heavy fighting had taken place
and that the Russians had retired in
good order after losing 100 men. where
as the Japanese losses were 1000. The
dispatch states that the next great
fight is expected at TaChekiao. 1t Is
understood that Gen. Kuropatkin is
directing operations.
The usually staid Bourse Gazette
publishes a Chauvinistic editorial to
the effect that "if things go badly for
Russia the echoes of her guns will be
heard in the Himalayas and even to
the White House." which somewhat
cryptic threat is difficult to explain.
The paper. probably suffering from
nervousness. says also that "our ex-
pectations are great. but are constantly
disappointed by non-success.'

SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Railroad Could Support Only 100000
Men in Manchuria.

ST. Petersburg. July 1o-Tho traffic dl-
rector of the Trans Siberian railroad has
returned from Mukden and has informed
the mobilization authorities that an ar
nv of 10000 is the maximum that the
railroad could support in Manchuria in
the most favorable circumstances.
The line is working well, but the daily
necessity of replacing the army's waste,
together with Gen. Kuropatkins large re.
qliirements in the way of ordnance ana
field equipment, makes the call upon the
railroads resources the utmost to which
it can respond. The present line of com.
muncations cannot maintain in the 1lei,i
a larger number of troops than are de-
pendent upon it now.

bounty.
Because the bill did not receive the
votes Of twO-thirds OF the members Of

that it was not truly a passage over
the veto.
