possible for him to be present. In

G; DR.. T r Howell, umpire for the
game.
Mr. B Richardson was disabled by
o ball from the pitcher, j Altman,
and was taken home, his place being
taken by Mr Cecil Tallavast. This
was hard fought game, but the
Rosemary boys took their defeat in
good cheer.
The Harpers team was challenged
by the Spring Gulley niue and
crossed bats with them at that place
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of
June q, the score resulting in 20 to

SHIPPING ITEMS. During the calendar
year 1907 the bureau of navigation reports
1856 vessels of 2,508 gross tons built and
officially numbered in the United States,
compared with 1O45 vessels of 393.291 tons in
1906. During the first six months of the
past year, 675 vessels of 259,974 tons were
built, compared with sos vessels of 181, O93
tons for the six months Of the previous ifs
cal year. The customs officials report no
vessels building and no contracts in sight
in the districts of Bangor, Belfast, Castine,
Machias, PassamaquOddy, Portland, Kenne-
bunk, Saco, Wiscasset and York. Machias
district usually builds one or more small

the coming year. The yards of Belfast,
Camden, Thomaston and Waldoboro are
idle, without prospect of business so far as
now known. At Bath five wooden vessels
are under construction, viz, one six-masted
schooner at Percy & Small's yard, a big
four-master at G. G. Deering Co.'s yard,
three four masters at New England Co.'s
ward and 16OOton barge at Kelley, Spear
Co.'s yard. At the Bath Iron Works are the
scout-ship Chester and the steamer Belfast.
In addition to the above Percy & Small
have contracts to build a big six-masted'
schooner for J. S. Winsl0w & Co. of Port
land and big five-master schooner for VIM
F. Palmer of Boston, and the Iron Works
has contracts for two torpedo destrOyers...

how to keep them. Among other things he
was told to put them in the hay, but as he
kept no stock and had no hay that sugges-
ton could not be followed. He has since
been told by an old fisherman that hay
twill take every mite of salt out of dry
fish," and that the best way is to wrap
them in canvas. In this connection the
fisherman said that dry fish that had been
picked were never good but were hard and
tough. The best fish are dry sailed.

Minneapolis, Aug. 19.-The Demo-
cratic state convention was called to
order here this morning at 1880 by
State Chairman Frank A. Day. Things
were in the same chaotic condition of
yesterday, although in some quarters
there was faint rumor that Gov.
johnson would not decline the NOM
ination if it were forced upon him.
despite his wish not to be considered.
Owing to the uncertainty Of
the gubernatorial nomination no
definite slate has been fixed. After
the delegates listened to the phono-
graphic speech of William j. Bryan,
State Chairman Day began his open
ing address. He said If the wish of
Governor Johnson was respected
there were dozen democrats in Min
nesota who could carry the party to
victory. At the conclusion of Mr..
Days remarks state senator, Ray G..
Harrington of Ortonville, was made
temporary chairman. In his keynote
speech he said that the Republican
national house and senate at all times
afforded unusual rights and privileges
to few and that the reason for the
popularity of Roosevelt is because he
mas proceeded upon Democratic prin-
ciples.

Winnipeg, Aug. 19-Forest fires
burned all last night in the neigh
borhood of Kimberly, states a Gran
brook dispatch. The towns of KIM
berly and Sullivan are still threat
ened. The weather is cloudy and the
residents on the eastern slope of the
mountains are hoping for a heavy
rain to remove all danger. Every
thing is as dry as tinder and when a
fire starts up it proceeds rapidly. An
other serious fire is burning about a
mile from Moyie and a change in the
direction of the wind may cause the
towns destruction. A fourth fire is
burning near Ryan. There is smoke
in all directions and vast amount
of valuable timber has been destroy
ed. The Canadian Pacific and the
government have called in their fire
fighters around Kimberly as any at
tempt to control the flames is out of
question.

THE G|LOERLAND
RETURNED ARMED
Vessel Which Carried Away
Dutch Minister, Returned
With Decks Cleared

Caracas, Aug 19.-When the Dutch
cruiser Gelderland, after taking away
Minister DeReus, came back to Le-
Gauira last Saturday without saluting
and with docks in fighting trim, the
greatset excitement reigned here in
Caracas, as it was known that Cas-
tro's new French coast defense guns
mounted on the mountain side above
La Guaira and on the beach had been
made ready to meet any emergency.
Speculation was rife as to whether the
warship would bring an apology for
DeRue's letter and the stoning of
Consul Lopes in Curacao, demand
for the immediate release of Carlos
Perret Conteli Of LaGuaria re-
Gently imprisoned on a contraband
charge or an ultimatum of some kind.
The curious were doomed to disap-
pointment, however, as the unexpect-
ed happened, as it usually does here.
The cruiser was not allowed to COM
municate with the shore, or deliver
any of the documents which it
brought, presumably because its fall
ure to solute on this and recent oc-
casion has been considered an offense
by President Castro. So the Gelder-
land had to return to Curacao with
Its mission unfulfilled.
Meanwhile the German minister,
Baron Won Seckendorff, was fuming
in Caracas because he could not OBJ
tain permission from the government
for the German consul to go alongside
OF the crusier to see IL there were not
some expected dispatches for him.
Minister DeReus had left him in
charge Of the Dutch interests and he
was at his wits ends to know what to
do because of the absolute impossi-
bility xof. communicating with his gov
ernment. The baron is almost the on
~ diplomat in Caracas.
