SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The lighthouse steamer Myrtle arrived
on her annual visit to remove the buoys
above Bath which are taken up every
fall
Two robberies, the second ending in 1t
hand-to-hand fight between the burglars
and the defenders of a South Portland
store, has resulted in three young South
Portland men being caught and released
because their parents have paid for the
amount of goods stolen on the first break
and for the amount of damage done by
breaking down doors. The scene of the
bold breaks by the three youthful bur
glars was the store owned by Mason
Brothers and w. +. TWitchell which is
located at the head of the ferry wharf
on Sawyer street, South Portland. AS Il
result of the hand-to-hand fight one OF
the men on guard at the store is nurS-
ing a severe wound on the head received
when one of the youthful intruderS
struck the guard on the head with a
piece Of lead pipe. The burglars were
finally overpowered when one was knock
ed to the floor from blow struck with
the butt of a 32-calibre revolver. When
the young men entered the store they
did not frighten them 4 mite, for they
pitched into the three men on guard and
he free for-all fight was on.

A GENERAL ELECTION
Said to Be Certainty, to Be Held Be-
fore Next Christmas.

London, Nov. IA general election
before Christmas is a practical Ger
taintv hut the steps whereby this will
be brought about are still unknown.
The King Is evidcntly taking an at
tive part in the crisis. and His Majes-
tvs Influence may have an important
bearing on the situation. 1t is under-
STOOD tonight that the government will
acceie to Lord LanSdoWne's demand
to have the veto bill submitted to the
House ot Lords. on condition that no
dilatory tactics are employed for tn"
mere purpose of gaining time. As it
cannot he supposed that the lords viii
accept the bill, this move is not likely
to have much effect on the general
situation.

ETERNAL PEACE
Between Canada and United States Is
the Wish Of All.

New York, Nov. 15.--"We have lived
at peace with the United States and
it is certain that we propose to do so
forever, but we do not abate any part
OF our right to assert our interests in
a friendly but effectual manner" said
Adam c. Bell M. P, of New Glasgown.
\. $, in a speech Tuesday night at
the annual dinner of the Canadian
Cub OF New York. The Canadian peo-
pie would look upon war with the
United States as a war of unnatural
character, for which no sufficient rea-
son could be found" he continued.
And yet there has been no occasion
when the Canadian people has allowed
the national belief that war with the
United States would fall most heavily
on their, to cause them to put for
ward any counsel of timidity"

minister of labor, urged the appoint

ton of century of peace between the
United States and Great Britain. Near

Panama Canal Will Be Completed

dam base which is half mile wide ana
so gradually sloped that it could never
be recognized as a DAM
Col. Goethals explained to the Presl-
dent that the informal opening of the ca
nal in 1913 necessitates immediate action
on the part of Congress relative to toll
rates, because 10 months will be required
by shipping interests to adjust their rates
to the new routing.
The President expressed himself as de-
lighted to find the efficiency of the canal
workers increasing daily. The canal Is
beginning to take the form of a water
way and this accelerates the work Of the
employees. Col. Goethals is not officially
promising that the canal will be complet-
ed in 1913, lest contractors delays and
trouble with supplies may interfere. but
he is sanguines of accomplishing the
great feat. Regarding landslides in Cul-
ebra cut all the possibilities of their
recurrence have been estimated and pro-
vided for.
The President also rode over the re-
located railroad and ended the day elated
to see the wonderful project So near to
completion. He declared it was impos-
sible for anyone to realize what is be-
ing accomplished without seeing it.
This evening the President briefly ad-
dressed the Americans engaged in the ca
nal work at a reception given under the
auspices of the Y. VI. G. A. and the Red
Cross. Tomorrow he will inspect Culebra
cut and in the evening will dine with

home ward trip the President will go
ashore at the proposed naval base at
Guantanamo for a few hours Saturday

Ships in the mean time will be granted
the privilege Of the canal but at their
own risk of delays incident to ineXpe-

the report that President Taffs visit
was the fOrerunner of a request Tor
another S10O000,0G0 from Congress was
unfounded. The canal will be complet-
ed in 1913, he said. within the $ll5,oOo,-

The President was tremendously
pleased at the outlook for the early
completion of the. great work and con-
graduated Col. Goethals. He expressed
amazement at the amount of work ac
compliShed since his visit to the 18TH
mus in February. 1909. He displayed a
knowledge of the technical details OF
the canal that surprised and delighted
the officials, his familiarity dating
pack to the time he was secretary OF

against a sea level system. He was
greatly surprised. however, at the i'm
