Bangor is to have her lOng-waited- for
new railroad station and before another
fall has rolled around SO the people
who, ever since the possibility of build
ing a new station was first mentioned.
have been worrying themselves with
the fear Of its not being erected can
now rest easy. This statement is made
on authoritative information obtained
by the Commercial. At the meeting of
the directors of the road held in Port
land last week it was decided that work
| on the station would begin just as soon
| as possible and hurried to completion
so that new union station for Bangor
and specifications for the new station
are now in the hands of the architect
in Boston and have been approved by
the engineers of the road. The main
| obstacle i'm the way of immediate pro-
cedure on the work is the weakness of
the old wharves at City Point on which
the tracks are to be laid. Before work
on the station is begun it will be nee
essary to greatly strengthen these
wharves to hold the number of tracks
which will be part of the new station
This work is to be commenced at once
or as soon as the necessary formalties
can be gone through with the city gov
eminent. Another encouraging fact in
relation to the building of the new sta
ton is that the depot at Old Town
which was spoken of at the same time
that the new Bangor station was first
mentioned is already under way. 1t is
evident that the directors of the road
intend to have a fine new station here
and what's more it will go up just as
soon as the conditions will allow.

Somerset Reporter: The time was
when, at this season of the year. tons
of fine turkeys were being shipped
from Somerset county to the city mar
kets but this has long since passed and
even the local demand will be supplied
this year, as it has been almost en-
tirely for the past eight years, by ship
ments from AroostOOk county and. in
some instances. from the Boston mar
ket. Various causes lead to the aban-
donment of turkey raising in this Sec
ton but chief among them seems to
have been a disease which made its APP
pearance among the fiocks about 1885,
recurring at a certain time each year.
and causing such loss that the business
could not be continued. Within the
past few years the scattered flocks
that have been raised seem to have
been free from the original trouble
and it is likely that turkey raising
might now be resumed by Somerset
farmers with profit.

NEUTRAL VESSELS NOW SAFE
VIII Be No Repetition Of Knight Com
mander and Thea Incidents.

mlnQer and Thea INCIDENTS
St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Asso-
ciated Press is able 20 announce that
there will be no repetition of the
knight Commander and Thea Incl
dents. Russia has issued instructions
to naval commanders not 10 sink neu-
trail merchantmen with cOntraband on
board in the future except in cases OF
direct necessity. but in cases of emer-
gency 10 send prizes into neutral ports.
fDirect necessity" may be regarded as
a reservation OF q right which Rus
sin does not formally relinguish, but
which, it is safe to say, will not again
be exercised during the present war.
Russia's concessions in this matter
may be looked upon as proof of her
sincere desire to avoid international
complications or the unnecessary irri.
tation Of neutrals. The authorities
here feel that this course will be sat
isfactory TO Great Britain and the
other powers. With such assurances
it will make the Knight Commander
and Thea cases much easier of adjust
ment. As the witnesses and papers
are all at Vladivostok. these cases will
probably go through the prize court
there.
Much interest in manifested in gov
eminent and diplomatic circles here
regarding the dispatches from the
United States, which report that the
washington government is sounding
the powers az to their position con
corning neutral commerce This &C
ton OF the United States government
is interpreted as an indisposition to
act hostile, and as indicating no desire
to precipitate an unnecessary issue
with Russia. The attitude of the
United States government is very graf.
flying to the Russian authorities.
