Remarkable progress is being made
in the excavation of the Panama
canal. The reports for August show
that one tenth of the entire amount
OF excavation has been completed,
and in some respects it has been the
most difficult tenth. So great was
the excavation for that month, ex-
ceeding that of any previous month,
that tbs President cabled congratula-
tions to Col. Cocktails, the engineer
officer in charge, and his corps Of as
sistants. There was total rainfall Of
11.s9 inches along the line Of the
canal in August, and yet the great
force employed managed to take out
1,274, 404 cubic yards of material, as
against 1 ,o56,776 cubic yards in July.
Sixty three great steam-shovels are
eating their way across the isthmus,
while sc, 900 men wait on the shovels,
and remove the masses OF material
which they bite out of the sides Of the
canal. Thirty four more huge shovels
win be delivered and placed in COM
mission in the near future.

MAINE MUSIC FESTIVALS.

Eleventh Season-At Bangor Oct. 3,
4, 5-Portland Oct. ., 8, 8.
The eleventh season of the Maine music
festivals will open in Bangor three weeks
from ;o-morrow-oct. 3, and will con-
tinue in that city through Friday and Sat-
urday.
The concert will be repeated in Port
land on the following Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, Oct. y, and 9with the
same artists and orchestra, but with dif-
ferent chorus. Conductor-in-Chief w.
r. Chapman. will direct both series OF
concerts.
The bright particular star Of this year s
festival is Mime. Emma Calve, one Of the
most brilliant and popular operatic artists
in the world. She will appear in Bangor
on Saturday evening, and at the Friday
morning rehearsal.
With the single exception OF Clifford
Wiley. all the other artists are to sing for
the first time in Maine festivals, but the
unitorlnly high character OF the artists
whom Mr.. Chapman has brought each
year for the past ten years, is sufficient
assurance that those Of this year will
prove satisfactory.
For the second season the incompatible
New York orchestra will play sixty Of
tbem-the best players from the New
York Philharmonic society and Man.
haitian opera house orchestras. No such
orchestral music has ever been heard in
Maine as that played last year by this ag-
gregation.
There will be five concerts-Thursday
Friday and Saturday evenings, and two
matinee concerts-Friday and Saturday
afternoons.
Thursday evenings concert will be g
popular programme. with soprano and
/ baritone soloists, orchestra and chorus

inee, as il has done heretofore. The Fri

Judge Emery at Portland.

The address of welcome at the meeting
OF the American bar association recently
held in Portland was made by Chief-Jps-
tice l. A. Emery, speaking for the bench
.,snd bar of Maine.
-, The press reports of this admirable sd
ss-tress were so meagre that it is gratifying
to be able to give it here in full. 1t was
as fellows:
By the constitution OF this state of Maine.
the three departments of government are
rigidly separated and it is commanded that
no person exercising any of the powers be-
longing TO one department shall exercise
any of the powers belonging to either
of the other departments. Hence the
Chief Executive, having worthily well
coined you in behalf of the whole people,
j am now put forward to attemnt TO express
TO you the special welcome OF the bar and
bench Of Maine. Our welcome is AL the more
earnest because of our belief that you will
bring US great and lasting good
When we consider the various attractions
OF our State, its fields and forests. its noun
tains and meadows. its lakes and rivers. its
beaches and blufIs. its islands and inlets, It's
bays and headlands, its bracing air, and its
pure water. we wonder that you delayed your
coming SO 2oHk- luGrtG- cdtH Is our love INf
our state we wonder you can consent to live
so far away some of you do. You will be
heartily welcome, however, now and always,
whenever YOU come
Our welcome at this time will not give you
any headaches. Under the administration of
our excellent governor. and that Of the high
sheriff Of this good county of Cumberland
our hospitality in some respects may seem
sextra dry. II, however, it be true, as said
by Shakespeare, that ''smaH cheer and great
welcome make merry feast, you viii have
the time Of your lives.
But Won have NOT come here for festivities;
YOU have come for discussion OF and con-
ference upon matters of great human inter
est. Other professions and trades have asso-
Citations for promoting their share in the gem
ersl good. The physicians meet to develop
the science that cares for our bodies while
living. Even the nndertakers meet better to
care for our bodies after death. Across the
ocean at The Hague sits the great interna-
tional conference in the hope of mitigating
war and preserving peace. But greater than
any or all of these purposes is the great cause
OF Justice. There is nothing in this world
better than Justice. There is nothing in this
world worse than injustice. He who shall
move any cause of injustice, who shall
move any obstruction from the road to just
Judgments, will serve mankind even better
than he who shall cause two blades of grass
TO grow where. but one grew before.
And now. in the words of the fair and wise
Portia:
s.Sir, you very welcome 10 our house,
1t must appear In other ways than words,
Therefore lscant this breathing courtesy"
Again assuring you OF hearty welcome, we.
the lawyers and judges of Maine viii sit
with you, even at your feet. willing learners
in the school Of jurisprudence.

As to the proposed electric railroad, i have
