And so ends the effort to move the center of Maine's political and judicial gravity down to the southwest corner of the state.- Standard.

TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1907.

Much practical work is being done by the forest service in aid of tree planting in the middle west. The service has been anxious all along to disseminate as much information as possible about tree planting and to encourage the work. Many import ant works on tree culture, treating in detail of the different varieties have been issued. But it was found that a man was seldom interested in more than one or two varieties of tree adapted to his particular locality. The service therefore has adopted the plan of issuing leaflets on indi- vidual varieties of trees. each con- taining just as much as the average inquirer would want to know. These leaflets are printed with view to their use in certain localities and farmers and others interested in the culture of the best trees for their own particular sections can be fur nished much valuable information in a very small compass by applying or writing to the forest service" Washington, D. C., and merely stat ing their locality and asking for the literature bearing on that region. Much money is being saved on print ing and postage and more is left to be devoted to other lines of forest research.

ALL LIKE BEER.
The Italians, Says Consul Cunning,
 Like It Very Much.

Washington, D. C.. March 26.-- United States Consul Dunning of Mi Ian. Italy. records the fact that Ital- ians. like Japanese and other nation alities. even Americans, arc turning tO beer. which is being drank in tine land of wine in immensely increas- ing quantities. So far. it Is minated the few prohibitionists in Italy have brought forward no objections. aS more favor than many of the wines. containing much larger quantities of alcohol. The consul does not dare touch upon the interesting question of whether the drinking of beer will have any effect in changing the char acteristics of the Italians. who have for so many years drank their wines with the greatest regularity.
 To accommodate the largely in creasing demand for beer many brew cries are going up. and they are be- Ing equipped with American machin- cry and the American system of fer mentation. The increased consulnp- ton is in the face of the fact that Il small glass holding one-third of Il quart. less than the average Ameri- can glass. costs q cents. while ID cents Is charged for q glass holding a pint. Wines are far cheaper for tle same quantity.
 Mr Cunning says that ten years ago the Italian government collected only S3lo0O0 tax on hreweries. while last year tho same tax yielded an in- come of Ss90.O00. Importation nf beer likewise grew in large quantities.
 While Italians drank about l0.- OO1.OO0 quarts of beer in 1905 and productions of wines totaled 2.9.s..r. quarts. Of this amount 2.SsJ.200 quarts were consumed at home.
 Japanese consular reports say that the temperate. Japanese is becoming exceedingly fond of beers. both do- mestic and imported and is slowly forsaking sake. his native drink. fer if.

Back and forth the tide of third term talk ebbs and flows. The pres ident himself has said nothing on the subject for some months, and the chances are that he will not again let himself be drawn into the dis cussion till toward the meeting of the next national republican oonven- ton. Then he is likely tO throw some much needed light on his posi- ton. and it probably will take the form of backing some one man. probably Taft. for the nomination. Everyone knows that the stock mar ket furry in New York was the cuI- imitation of threat on the part of the railroad managers to knock the bottom out of the presidents popu- larity by putting in a dam to the wave of prosperity" the country is enjoying. says a friend of the prcsi- dent who is watching the trend of things at the Capitol. Everyone also knows now that the president told the high fnanciers in effect to crack their whip and see what they could do They let the panic go as far as they dared and shook down some values without harming the actual properties. The furry is over now and the result has been 10 leave the president stronger with the public than he was before. and the railroads are sending President MeIIen to Washington to talk the matter over. The eyes of the country are more than ever focused on railroad and other corporate control The preSi- dent has mapped out definite line of poliey. and what he wants now is to see that poIicv carried out He uflI not be the next nominee for the presidency. but he probably riII name the man

The railroads as a whole are still very nervous of action by the admin istration, says a Washington writer. The fact that Secretary Cortelyou has refused to accept any more rail road bonds as security for bank cir culation is thought to be possible forerunner of action demanding the withdrawal of bonds already so de- posted. The mere fact that Mir Cor telyou has said he has no such inten- tion is not received with the assur- ance such positive statement would seem to warrant. A number of the railroads have taken course that is a little puzzling. The Erie, for instance, has issued peremptory or ders to discontinue work on about SS,000,000 worth of improvements. This will mean cancellation of orders and throwing thousands of men out of work. One of the big southern lines has taken the same step. though its work is not quite so extensive. Many of the other roads have sus- pended work on extensions and are doing only the most pressing work of maintenance. The roads taking this action allege that it is almost impossible in the present state of public feeling to get money to carry on their work. This doubtless is true in measure, but there is little doubt also that the situation is not so desperate as the roads make out. It looks more like an organized at tempt to start national depression and accomplish by this sort of threat what the furry in the stock market did not accomplish. namely. a break in the presidents policy of railroad legislation intended to pro- duce really honest railroads.

CRAFT AT BROWNSVILLE.
Corporal Testines That Government
 Rines Were Sold to Citizens.

WASHINGTON. March 26. - That soldiers invariably were able to se- cure extra cartridges and sometimes had extra rifles as we'll was asserted by William Ryan. corporal fin Con- pany K, Twenty-sixth infantry, in the Brownsville investigation before the senate committee on military affairs. Ryan was at Brownsville prior to the coming of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-ifth infantry.
 He was serving as the artifcer under the quartermaster sergeant. at whose orders. he said, he sold 1000 rounds of government ammunition to junk dealer in Brownsville. Under the same mans orders, he said, he defaced the numbers on six Krag-Jorgensen rifles which had been secured in the Philip pines. with fourteen others. as surplus guns. The defacing was done and the guns held out at the time the order was issued for the surrender of all of the Krag type of rifles.
 He claimed that he did not know what had become of these guns. In reply to a number of questions. he de- clared that he did not consider that he had done wrong in aiding in the sale of government property.
 Thomas Taylor. former member of Company R. Twenty-fifth infantry. was put on the stand, as the expert examination of shells picked up in Brownsville is declared to show that his gun was used in firing eleven of these shells. Taylor denied that his gun had been fired since his company left Fort Niobrara a month prior to the shooting.

 PARIS. March 26.-The Moroccan situation. which has been forced into the background for year past by acute internal problems. has now been brought to the front by the assassina- ton in Morocco City of Dr. Mauchamp, a French subject. The decision of the cabinet to send French troops to occu- py Oudja. in Morocco. was unanimous. The occupation of this point will be continued until full satisfaction has been accorded. The French demands include the punishment of the nur- derer of Dr. Mauchamp. indemnity for the family of the victim and the appropriation of a large sum for the foundation of a charitable institution in Morocco in memory of Dr. Mau- champ.

THE DIAM
GOOSE EGGED
 BY ORATORS
Again Did Our Sticks Fail Us When They Were Needed =
 Trouble in New Haven.

Bridgeport, June 1S.-With the en- couraging shouts of horde of young sters permitted to see the game through the kindness of Uncle Jeems'' O'Rourke ringing in their ears the Ora tors shut out Waterbury yesterday afternoon at Newfield park, ? to o, winning the game by good batting, errors not figuring in the scoring at all.
 It was very interesting contest to watch and was rather fast. Bridge port played snappy ball and batted Yerkes hard although many hits fell into the hands of the fielders. Cornen pitched in good form and allowed Waterbury only three scattered bits which by good fielding were not. al- lowed to avail Waterbury anything.
 The crowd was an enthusiastic one, especially with the small ones cheer Ing at every good play Waterbury played good ball but they could not bat Cornen so as to make, runs.
 Bridgeport got little ''wobble" in the seventh inning which was really the only time that Waterbury came very near scoring but alter the first spasm or so they rallied and retired the next batters in order so that no runs resulted. Nicholas hit a warm one at Hughes which that player stopped in a snappy fashion, but threw very badly to first, although having time enough to spare. The next man up, Schincel, hit a slow one towards shortstop which Cornen gathered in but when the ball reach ed Phelan on the throw 1t bounded out of his hands allowing the runner to reach first while Nichols went to third.
 It began to look as if the 1 which represented, the score of the Orators was to be duplicated by Waterbury but the kome team settled down to business. Bronkie hit to Hughes and was thrown out at first as clean as a whistle. Cooney Rice popped up foul fly -tnat Hughes fastened onto and Yerkes went out on fly to Ladd. The crowd now breather easier.
 Bridgeport scored both runs by clean batting. In the third inning Jimmy" 0'Rourke singled and stole second, being scored on Sawyer's two bagger In the eighth after two men were out Ladd nearly knocked the cover off the ball by making a three bagger to right center and Beaumont following scored him witn clean single to left field. i, Some pretty catches were made by Ladd.

FIGHT AT NEW HAVEN.

New Haven, June 1s.-The Spring. held-New Haven game here yesterday afternoon was declared forfeited to Springfield by the score of Q to Q by Umpire Crocker, who was immediately surrounded by mob of 50 fans, who threatened personal harm, and certain ly would have made good their threats but for the timely arrival of a squad of policemen.
 Manager Dan O'NeiI dashed hatIess into the crowd, followed by the Springfield players grasplng base ball bats. and by main t0rce helping to keep the enraged mob at bay. Then the New Haven players took a hand and Umpire CrOcker was surrounded safely and escorted of the field.
 The score at the time all this hap pened was to 2 in favor of the Ponies The trouble started over a ball which the Springfield players claim was sOused in kerosene oil to prevent CT Miller from using the splitter. Umpire Crocker appeared to hold the same opinion and refused to allow the ball in play.
