DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL
Of CARRYING MAINE
Son of Last Bourbon Chief Ex-
eCutive Named to Head
Jeffersonian Ticket

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 2S.-The rock
ribbed Republican state of Maine Is
trembling in the political balance.
The state election is to be held Septem-
ber u, at which time a governor, four
representatives and a state legislature,
which is to choose a United States SEN
ator as successor to Senator Eugene
Hale, are to be elected, and at no time
in the history OF the state since the
days of the Greenback party has the
outlook for Republican success ap-
peared more gloomy.
For the first time in thirty years the
Democratic party is hopeful-nay, al
most confident-of a sweeping victory.
The Republicans have again placed the
name of Governor Bert NJ. Fernald be-
fore the voters for reelection. He was
elected two years ago by the smallest
majority any Republican had received
in thirty years, and is opposed by the
Hale wing of the party.
The Democrats have nominated for
governor Col Frederick w. Plaisted of
Augusta, who is the son of Names last
Democratic governor of thirty years
ago, the late Gen. H. NJ. Plaisted of
Bangor.
In every congressional district of the
state the Democrats have named strong
tickets, have perfected good organiza-
ton and have been campaigning for
three weeks.

1000 MILES OF FENCE
WILL MARK BORDER
United States and Mexico Arrive
at Agreement
Especial to The HERALD

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 23.-The
longest fence in the world and the
queerest artificial boundary established
between two countries anywhere will in
the near future separate the United
States and Mexico. According to a dis
patch in the Mexico Record, final
agreement TO tkat effect has been
drawn up between the two govern
ments, and the fence will be built In
the very near future. 1t will be con-
structed Of stout posts, possibly re-
inforced concrete, and five-strand steer
tight barbed wire. In all places where
the United States government owns the
land the fence will be set up twenty
meters, or about 60 yards, to the north
of the true boundary line, and where
the ground is owned individually the
fence will stand on the exact border.
Mounted Mexican rurales will patrol
the fence on the south and United
States rangers will do the same on the
north.
The immediate purpose of the fence
is to prevent cattle from the two coun-
tries from straying onto foreign SOIL
It will also be useful in the prevention
of infectious diseases among cattle,
especially the tick. However, the fence
will be useful in other directions. 1t
will render smuggling and the Illicit
immigration of Chinese and others into
this country more difficult than they
are now. About 1000 miles of fence will
have to be erected.

CONSUL SENDS REPORT
ON DOWNFALL OF MADRIZ
600 Prisoners Escape, Obtain
Rifles and Roam Streets

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The final
word, telling Of the passing into history
of the Madriz government at Managua,
was received at the state department
today In an official dispatch from Amer
lean Consul Olivares, stationed at Ma
nagua.
The message was dated II p. m. Sat-
urday. 1t told Of the disorder that pre-
ceded the downfall of Madriz at Mama
qua, of the escape of the defeated pres
ident from the city as shots were fired
at his train, and of the assumption or
the presidency and of the command OF
the local troops by brothers of the rev.
olutionary leader, Gen. Juan Estrada,
officials of the penitentiary at Ma
nagua, where 700 prisoners were con-
fined, called at the American consul
ate Friday night and voluntarily made
affidavits to the effect that the COM
mandant of the prison had Matched a
plot to blow up the institution and its
inmates in the event of the downfall
of the Madriz faction. 1t was in this
prison that William Pittman, the
American engineer, was conhned.
Prisoners of other nations were among
those behind the bars.
The American and foreign consuls
at Managua promptly laid the matter
before DR.. Madriz. The president said
he would guarantee the plot would be
nipped. Consul Olivares, however,
asked for and obtained the removal
of Pittman to the consulate.
On Saturday morning, Madriz dis
missed the commandant of the prison.
Before Madriz abandoned his office
that afternoon, all the inmates had es-
caped. About 600 of the 700 prisoners
had been arrested for political rea-
sons, and many of them obtained rifles
and roamed the streets, in some cases
firing upon the troops of the Madriz
faction

OVERHEARD FOR FREEDOM
Marine on Princeton Makes Race
from Pursuing Officers

SEATTLE, Aug. 2S.-William Bower,
a marine on the gunboat Princeton, es-
capped from the receiving ship Phila-
delphia, where he has been held a
prisoner, at the Puget Sound navy yard
early today. Bower, who was being

felled his guard with a monkey wrench
and jumped overheard, reaching shore
in safety.

the locker of a shipmate, cashed a
stolen check at a Bremerton store, and
at the point of revolver forced O. fer
ryman to take him across the. sound to
West Seattle. After buying the ferry
man a meal and giving him some mon
ey, he ordered him into his boat and
started him back to Bremerton.
Bower was arrested later on infor-
nation furnished by the ferryman, who
recognized him as a new conductor
breaking in on an East Lake street car.

MADR|z AND GENERALS
SAFE ON MAIL STEAMER
Estrada Forces Take Possession
of Managua Without
Any Disorder

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 23.-
The downfall of the Nicaraguan gov
ernment after the defeat of the regular
army by the insureent forces Of Gen.
eral Estrada last week was accom-
plished quietly and marked by no
scenes of disorder in the capital.
President Madriz left the city Sun

tombo, on which 1t Is presumed he
ran down to the western extremity OF
Lake Managua, where he could take
train for Corinto. Reports have
been received from Corinto OF the safe
arrival there Of Madriz, accompanied
by Generals Ortiz, Toledo, Valdez,
Lara, Chavarria, Chavez and Perdomo,
and DR.. Julian Irias, and of the de-
parture Of the fugitives from Anal
pala, Honduras, on board the Pacific
Mail steamer San Jose.
The men who fled with the deposed
president into exile are all, with the
exception Of ORTIZ and Chavarria,
former supporters and adherents Of
former President Zelaya, who could
expect no mercy from the new ad-
ministration. Three of them are
foreigners, General Toledo being from
Guatemala, General Lara from Hon
duras and General Perdomo from San
Salvador.
The administration in the capital is
still in the hands of Jose Dolores Es-
trada, brother Of the insurgent leader,
to whom it was turned over by Madriz
on his flight. The provisional govern
ment, however, has announced its In
tention of holding the reins of power
only until the arrival Of his brother,
Jose j. Estrada, with his victorious
forces.
