DANGOR , Me. , Sept. 8. The grcatci
nudlence cvor gathered in Dorchester count
nt a political meeting assembled In the tow
to listen to Governor McKlnlcy of Ohl
Long beforu the tlmo advertised for tl
opening of the meeting 'he ' hall was flllc
to suffocation. Every scat \as occuplc
And hundreds were obliged to stand , and ;
least 1,000 were turned axvay. Fully 2,5 , <
people heard the speech , which was r
celvcd Ith manifestations of approval , shov
Ing that even lu this quiet campaign inte
cst In national affairs Is strong In eas
ern Maine.
After making his speech In the city hal
Governor McKlnlcy addressed on ovc
flow meeting ot Young Men's Christian Ai
Boclatlon hall. At the city hall mcetlr
Congressman Iloutelle presided and mai
a speech ,
Governor JlcKlnley prefaced his addre :
by warm tributes to James 0. Dlalne ar
Hannibal Hamlln. The democratic pres
dent and democratic congress , he said , ha <
been running the government for clghtcc
months , during which ttmo little else h :
hern running. Industry has been practical
slopped. Labor has found little eniploymon
and when employed it has been at greal
reduced wages. Both goyernmcnt and pe
pie have been draining their reserves , ai
both have been running in debt , Tl
government has suffered in Us revenues ni
the people In their Incomes. The total loss
to the country In business , property ai
wages are beyond human calculation. The
has been no cessation in the waste ot weal
and wages ; no contentment , brightness <
hope has anywhere appeared. The appea
to charity have never been so numero'
and Incessant , nor the necessity every\s he
BO manifest.
Congress has disappointed the people , ti
fled with the sacred trust confided to it , e
cltctl distrust nnd disgust among their co
Etltuents and impaired their Investment
Pledged , If platform means anything , to ov
throw our long continued policy of protectlo
they have quarreled and compromised , ai
upon their own testimony hnvo been coi
promised ,
SATISFIED NO ONE.
The result ot their long wrangle Is a tar
law with which nobody Is satisfied ; a U
which oven those who made It apologlzo Cc
a law which the chairman ot the ivay& a
means committee and almost the entire tie re
cnitlo side of the house condemned by a y
nnd nay vole only a few days before 1
passage , affirming their Intention In the me
solemn manner not to permit It to be e
113
acted ; a law which factions of the dcm
crallo party are agreed Is the work of
monstrous trust , which Chairman Wilson ,
the house , amid the applause ot his contc
crates , confessed with deep chagrin "he
congress by the throat ; " a law of which t
liouso ot representatives was so thorougt
ashamed that they had no sooner passed
than they made hot haste to sock Its ii
mediate amendment by passing supplemc
tary bills which put coal. Iron , lead a
barbed wire on the free list , making st
further asnaults on the much disturbed a
distressed Industries of the country , uttei
heedless of the etupendous ruin they h
already wrought ; a law which the preside
condemned before Its passigo and from whli
when passed , ha withheld his approval ; a 1 ;
which was characterized before Its jiassa
by tlio greatest leader In the dcmocra
party , the senator from New York , as
violation ot democratic pledges and pr
clples , " and which was denounced by t
oltlclal head ot the government , as such ,
an act of "party perfidy and party dlshonoi
and that It the house should concur In
"they would not dare to Icok the p ople of I
country In the face , " and which the executl
Btill condemns since their surrender as ,1
"very communism of pelf. " The preside
In his letter lo Congressman Catchlngs
Mississippi , said : "Tho millions of c
countrymen who have [ ought bravely a

who , while ho permitted the bill to bccoi

Governor McKlnley gave a history of

cording to the estimate he had seen cf

MILWAUKEE , Sept. S. Master In Clia :
eery A. L. Carey filed his report on matte
referred to him ( or Investigation In comic
tlon with the Northern 1'aclflc rccelversh
contest this atternoon. Tha report Is
bulky tlocuiuent , covering 153 closely typ
written pages , nnd contains about 45,0i
words. It ( a a complete victory for the r
celvcrs , the master exonerating Thoni :
Oakes from e > ery charge preferred again
him , but Henry Vlllard Is found guilty
having rnadu unlawful gains as n director
the Northern Pacific Railway company ,
synopsis of the mailer's report showing tl
\arlous findings follows :
First , The master finds that Thomas :
Oakes had no pecuniary Interest In and d
rived no personal advantage or gain fro
any of the matters referred for ln\estlg
tlon.
Second , The master finds that Henry V
lard , a director of the Northern Pacific Ha !
road company , made unlawful gains by tl
acquisition ot the Northern Pacific & Mar
toba Hallway company by the Northern P
clfic company to Iho extent ot J363.691.70.
Third , It Is found that Mr. Oakea did m
and was not , bound to know that Mr. Villa
waa Interested In the Northern Pacific
Manitoba railroad or that ho was makli
unlawful gains by the acquisition of sa
railway by the Northern Pacific Ilnllwi
company. As a sequence , the master fin
that Mr. Oalies was not bound to take ai
measures to prrvcnt Mr. Vlllard from malili
such unlawful gains or for the protection
the Interests of the Northern Pacific Ha
way company In respect thereto.
Fourth , During the four fiscal years en
Ing June 30 , 1S93 , the Northern Pacific coi
pany made savings under its contract wl
the Itocky Fork Coal company to the amou
of $1,593,681.96 , nn average of over J175.fi
per year for each oj the four years.
Fifth , The master finds that William
Bull , Clmrles Barney , James B. Heggcn ai
Charles B. Wright , directors of the Northe
Pacific Hallway company , were Interest
in the Hocky Fork & Cook City Railw
company and In the Rocky Fork Coal coi
pany , and In the acquisition by the Nort
ern Pacific Hallway company of the Roc
Fork & Cook City railway and In the co
tract made by the Northern Pacific wl
the Rocky Fork Coal company.
NO DIRECTORS MADE ILLEGAL GAIK
Sixth , The master finds that no direct :
of the Northern Pacific acquired unlawl
gains by the acquisition by that compa
of the Roclfy Fork & Cook City railway ,
by the arrangement' ' made with the Hoe
Fork Coal company.
Seventh. The master says he cannot ft
that as to these two subjects of Invcstlf
tlon Mr. Oakes was in any respect < llslo ;
to his company or its interests.
Eighth , The master finds that the Chlca
terminals cost the original parties that w <
interested In the matter at the time th
were turned over to the Chicago & Northe
Pacific company $10,296,783.92.
Ninth , The master finds that the Oregon
Transcontinental company received $18,00
000 of the bonds of the Chicago & Norl
ern Pacific company , and that It Is possll
to trace the disposition of all ot them <
cept three bonds. These bonds are um
counted for.
Tenth , On pages 134 anil 135 the masl
reviews the account with the Oregon
Transcontinental company and shows that
received from these bonds $15,067,879is , tr
It paid out fcr these properties and for e
penses , etc. , J15,4S1OS5.42. , leaving a balar
ot ? 1BG,798.9G unaccounted for on the del
side of their account. This Is swelled
these considerations. The master credit
the company with having paid $1,350,000 I
the station , which was in bonds the sai
as all other Items In the account are , on
cash basis ; reducing these b.nds to a en
basis the sain a as the others , 90 per cci
that would Increase the debit side of the i
count $125.000 more. Furthermore ,
finds that the 1441,000 of bonds that nt
delivered .to Baxter , treasurer , for the pi
pose of finishing the st alien should
charged up and would Increase the de
side of the account to the cash value of th <
bonds at { 90 cents , { 44,000. The teetlmo
only shows that they bad only paid In ca
$650,000 In the purchase ot the elation. 1
master finds that there are $409,000 of t
btmds that Mere delivered to Vlllard upon I
Weggs' order , but are entirely unaccouni
for except that thsy were receipted for
Mr. Villard through Colgate Hoyt. The 0
gen & Transcontinental company , In all
transactions relating to the acquisition of I
several Chicago terminal properties , acted
the agent for the real parties in Inters
whoever they may have been. This Is In
oated by the agreement of January , IS
with the Wisconsin Central company , t
shown by records of these transaction * . O
slderable testimony was given tending
show the disposition made by the Oregon
Transcontinental company of the moneys
had received on account of these propertl
but the master says he shall not attempt
further trace such moneys or look Into
accounts of the Oregon & Trascontlneu
company , as he hai reached the conclus
that for the purpose of this Investigation
Is Immaterial whether such moneys w
icnt or who received them for reasons wh
he then states :
ONLY TWO INTERESTED.
Messrs. Colby and Hoyt were the only mi
hers of the Northern Pacific board ilur
the years 1889 and 1S90 , in which the trans
lions under review tcok pltce , that
parently had any direct Interest In the C
cage terminal ! . They Acquired such
tercit long prior to the lime when they
came- members of the Northern P c
board and at a time when t
owed no duties to the Northern Pacific ci
pany. The Northern Pacific did not furr
hcso bends and wan "net In feny degree Hi
lo for them. It Is true by Its lease i
April 1 , 1890 , with the Wisconsin Ccntn
ystcm It had asiumed al | the coven tn
nil agreements made by the Wisconsin Cei
ral company , and the Wisconsin Centrj
ompany with Its terminals , and thercl
mvo agreed to pay the Chicago & Northci
'nclflc compiny In ridilULn to a fixed ai
nual rents ! ot $350,000 n sum sufficient 1
> ay any deficiency on , the first , mortgaf
bonds of the Chicago t Northern Pad !
ompany , the money In question not belli
crlved from ether rentals , There was in
direct promise to pay the Interest due c
his , and hence no right of tct.on upon tl
ovenants or agreements existed against tl
ompany. The agreement of the Norlhei
'aclfic company lo pay a guaranty as renta
a sum sufficient to pay tbc Interest on the !
londa was ot that character and made enl
\lth such purpose that It could at any tine
> o cancelled by the mutual consent of tt
wo companies , and the holders of the bom
vould be remcdyless to prevent suoh cancc-
atlon. Further there was no ngrccmei
whatever on the part of the Northern Pacll
o pay or provide any funds fr the paymei
f renUls or for the payment of these bond
t cannot , therefore , he said that the Nort ]
cm Pacific railway has paid any Interest the
ho bonds that have come Into the ham
f the Oregon & Transcontinental company.
his were a suit cr proceeding on the part
ho Northern Pacific to set eslde Iho nssum
Ion of the Northern Pacific lease the mast
hardly thinks It could compel the partli
who had received the proceeds of the Chlcai
c Northern Pacific bands to. account thereto
f these conclusions are correct , he continue
hen Mr. Oakes as an ofllMr of the Nort :
rn Pacific company had no .duties to pcrfor
n relation lo the Chicago , & Northern P
clfic bonds or their proceeds and was n
bound to Investigate the transactions In tl
sale of these bonds ,
The next finding Is that the Union P
clfic company loaned the Oregon & Tran
continental company , through the WUcons
Central company , under the date "of Janiui
. ' , 1S90 , sums amounting In the aggregate
13,550,000 , which were all paid back wl
nlcrest at 5 per cent on the 2Cth day
June , 1890 , and that the Northern Pacll
therefore suffered no loss or injury by reasi
of the loan.
The next and last question considered
whether In respect to ( ho lease of the CI :
cage terminals- the Northern Pacific cor
pany , an exorbitant or Improvident rent
was agreed to be paid , or whether the san
was so exorbitant or Improvident as to i
llcate nonteasanco or misfeasance on t ]
part of Mr. Oakes In the discharge of li
duty as an officer and director of the Nort
ern Pacific railway. The finding as to th
s that the rental agreed upon to be paid 1
; he Northern Pacific Hallway company
ts lease of the Chicago terminal of 1890 w
not exorbitant or improvident , and th
Thomas F. Oakes v\as not guilty ot any nil
teasance or nonfcasanco as an officer of t
Northern Pacific company In rasped to bo
lenso. .

more palatable by the solace afterwards ad

mail injected Into other animals has > th
effect of conferring Immunity upon the la tic
or healing them If sulferlng from diphtheria
Of this blood Dr. Behrlng extracted Ui
serum and has Injected it into human being
with wonderful results. Prof. Heubner o
Berlin and Prof , Uoutz of Paris endorsed th
dlscoVery at the congress. Prof Routz sat

To our astonishment Japan also dlspa'c' '
troops to Coren , pietenOIng1 that it was f
the purpcse of assisting to nuell the t
Celllon , their renl object b lns"to occui
Seoul , which they did , depositing themselv
at all Important put-sen. They contlnu
to reinforce thcmielvcs until their nnm
rose to upward of 10,000 men , nnd then U
innmled that Coren , should repudiate li
allegiance to China niul declare herself I
dependent. Japan further drew up a gre
number of rule.s and regulations for t
alteration of the government of Cert
which they required the king to conform
In every partlcglar.
The circular goes on to say that China , o
of consideration for the commendable effor
of the powers to effect a peaceable solutl
of the difficulty , had abstained from bloo
shed , and thru concludes :
Notwithstanding all this , nnd by the me
unexpected nml treaclieious system , t
Japanese on the 2.d ! of the sixth mont

of war outside the point of Yaelian a
commenced hostilities by firing on a

STOCKHOLM , Sept. 8 , The most Import-
lit political campaign In the history of Nor-
vny is now going on. Numerous meetings
re being held and the two main parties , the
Ifiht and the- left , are contesting every Inch
f ground. The first elections to ths > Storth-
ng resulted favorably to th ? radicals , but
liter on the conservatives wcro victorious
n several districts. This alarmed the party
of the loft , especially as there was a slrlfo
tt ecn Unit party anil the socialists.
Jomo kind of a deal had to bo made , and
ho left decided to Insert In Its plat-
orm ono of the principles of
ho socialist party ths demand for
inlversal suffrage. With the help of the
oclallsts the left hopes to secure a majority
or Its candidates , \\lio arc In favor of a
eparato minister ot foreign altalrs for Nor-
vay , and ols-o ot separate c 'isuls. In BOIIIO
udlclal courts of the countrj no cases can.
) o heard or taken up , the reason being that
ho Judges have deserted their benches and ,
arc traveling through the country making
pccches in the interests of the radicals.
Should the election result favorably to th
radicals , the Swedish Hlfisdag must Imine-
llatcly act in rcRarJ to the consular questions
as the constitution of Sweden says Sweden
and Norway shall have mutual consulates.
The redlcal Norwegian party has few , lr any.
rlends in the Swedish Rlgsdng.
At present more than torty of the mem-
icrs are peasants. The rest have liberal
Ceas , but are conservatives as regards Iho
claim of the party ot the- left of Norway , and
nest of them regard the consular question
as ono that can only be solved by a war or
the dissolution of the union.
The health of the crown princess VlctorlOi
