Twenty-Seven Years
Of Accomplishment

In August, 1887, the present publishers
bought the Kennebec Journal. The daily
circulation at that time was 1925 copies
Here began the story of accomplish
ments. The retiring management had con-
tented itself with printing paper to fit the
circulation Of 1925 copies. The new manage
ment Immediately installed the element of
growth by removing any limitation and
boldly set a target which has since kept the
aim higher and ever higher. The experiment
Immediately justified itself. Slowly the cir
culation began to gain. Just run your finger
down the column at your left. Nothing
phenomenal, nothing mushroom-like, but
steady, upward climb of over a quarter
century. Sometimes t seems to drop
back; again it seems to stand still, but such
periods have proved only breathing spells
for greater accomplishments.
In 1902 the rural routes came, and with
characteristic energy the Journal set to &C.
curing the new territory AS fast as Wash
ington made new route, the Journal went
out and signed it up

US. Asks Only Proof That 1t Occurred
in Neutral Waters TO Open Case
With England.

The United States will make an is
sue of the boarding and search of the
American steamship Zealandia at
Progreso. Mexico. by men from a
British cruiser. if il is proved that the
incident occurred in neutral waters.

stated officially yesterday that the de-
partment has made no inquiry of the
British government and will not do
so until IL has obtained a statement
of the facts from the consul

ment is most interested is whether
the Zelandia. at the time she was
boarded. was within the harbor of
ProRreso proper or was at sea be-
yond the three-mile limit. II she was
in neutral waters. the United States
government without doubt will ask an
explanation from Great Britain. II
however. the vessel was on the high

The general position of this gov
eminent is that n vessel of a bellig-
erent nation may exercise the right to
visit and search any neutral craft on
the high seas.
1t was further pointed out that
there have been stories circulated
suggesting that the cargo of the
ZeaIandia was contraband and pos
sibly intended for a belligerent ma
val base.
