This Is the first interior picture
taken OF the infamous San Juan de
Ulua prison at Vera Cruz since the
American occupation It shows two
of the cells in the upper and better
part Of the old fort and the water
soaked walls. The dungeons lower
down were even worse than those
here pictured In this horrible old
prison the Mexican government con-
fined its political prisoners. The
Americans freed over $50 OF them.
Some were half insane from the lack
of food and air and from the foul con-
dition Of the insanitary dungeons be-
low the water. General FunstOn's
soldiers have cleaned out the place
and now guard it. A few dangerous
criminals are still confined ia the

that work which should be done by
the laity.
Mr.. Woodruff, in his address on the
Importance Of social service in
church work, took issue, in limited
sense, to some OF the things that had
beer said by Bishop Garland. He in
sisted that much missionary reform
and social service work already is
being done by Episcopal laymen. He
did not assert, however, that such
laymen are doing, by any manner Of
means, all OF such work that they are
capable of doing and should do. Dis
cussing the benevolent assimilation
Of immigrants and of their American
patriotism following such assimila-
ton, Mr.. Woodruff called attention to
the expressed eagerness OF thousands
of such foreign-born American ciu-
zens to volunteer to serve under the
American flag in Mexico in event of
war with that country
Mr.. Trapnell, of St Andrews, said
he had discovered since he came to
Wilmington that the Episcopal church
does not reach the masses of the
I'VE do not like to admit it, he
said, "but it is true
As he views it, much effective work
can be done among those engaged in
industrial pursuits and the church
must be democratic enough to meet
and to greet them.
IF they will not come to the
church." he said, "the church must
go to them"
That sentiment was heartily ap-
plauded.

Dudley Bartlett, chief Of the Fors,,,,

portation Into Canada of goods from Ger.

ports from these two countries into Can.
ada amounted in round numbers In ss.
100000 annually. 1t was also pointed m,
that the imports from France, Belgium,

ITO assume that Canada will be in thu

which make UP this total That they
will have to be imported Is a reasonable
assumption. 1t Is hardly likely that the
Canadian manufacturers at this time are
In a position to make up the deficit.
though they may seize the moment TO
develop along the necessary manufacture
ing lines This leaves two alternatives,
Importation from Great Britain or from
the United States. It is hardly reason
able to expect that British manufao-
turers will be able to take advantage Of
the present opportunity. On the other
hand, 1t would not be surprising II Inn
ports from the mother country, which
amounted to sl3e, ,646,356 last year. should
be temporarily curtailed."
The present opportunity for American
manufacturers In Canada is principally
in the lines here enumerated And to
make the information of practical value

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
BY 1898 AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature = Three
of the -Four Congressmen
Republicans.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 1b.-1n one
Of the closest elections the state has ever
known. the Democrats yesterday elected
Oakley O. Curtis Governor. The seve: al
thousands of voters who supported
Roosevelt in the 1912 election focked to
the polls yesterday to back the Repub-
lican ticket, but their number was not
enough to down the Democrats.
Owing to the exceeding closeness of
the vote no one could be Mt all conf
dent of the result until the last ballot
had been counted. The returns from all
the cities, towns and plantations gave
Curtis, Democrat, 5syS77; william t.
Haines, Republican, 5S,17e, and Gardner,
Progressive, 17,147; Curtis plurality, $685.
The four Congressman. Asher c. Hinds
John A. Peters and Frank f. Guernsey,
Republicans, and Daniel j. McGillicuddy,
Democrat, were reelected, according to
the same returns as those received In the
governorship contest. The missing towns
are too small to change the count, al
though the plurality may be reduced
somewhat.
The returns indicate that the Demo-
Gratis have made gains in the Legislature.
The representative districts reporting
have elected IS Democrats, AZ Republicans
and Progressives, just the reversal of
the Democratic and Republican count of
two years ago, while the Progressives at
that time reported three. The Senate ap-
pears to be about the same as two years
ago. The House elected then was made
up of 72 Republicans, so Democrats and
I Progressives.
The early returns favored Curtis, then
the tide turned toward Haines, but after
midnight Portland and Bangor were heard
from, and the former failed by 1000 to
keep up the pace set by the rest of the
State, while Bangor fell off completely
on Haines votes.
