PORTLAND. Me.. Sopt. . The atate
campaign waa ended tonight by the re
publkans with a big rally, at which Sena
tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachuaetts
was the principal speaker.
He gava his attention to the trust ques
tlon. In opening he urged hla hearers to
continue In power the republican party.
Referring to the war in the Philippines
lie aald he belle Ted "the embers of insur
rection still smoulder in Springfield, Oroton
and Boston." He said that the subject
most in the minds of men waa that of
trusts and tbat the prealdent had recently
aid some strong, wise words upon the
subject. Senator Lodge aald that the
prealdent waa not at liberty, as he was,
to dlacuaa It from a party standpoint. He
described the trust In a technical way
and aald that to 95 per centlof them there
waa not the least objection. To undertake
to destroy them by raah legislation, he
aid; would bring on at the preaent time
the most disastrous business panic that
could be imagined. He aald that undoubt
edly the great combinations preaent cer
tain dangers and certain evils and that
at present the difficulty waa In distinguish
ing among the corporations.
He had been asked: "What' are the evils
of the trust?" and he had replied that they
can easily be enumerated. First and more
serious Is that there Is a great popular
suspicion about them. Somewhere there
ought to be some means of a atate con
trolling what It createa. He aald thla
W.1S an evil, because under this govern
ment he did not believe tbat anything a
creature of the government should be be
yond the government'a control. There had
been many schemes proposed to solve the
trust question, and chief of these waa legis
lation. Reckless legislation would be de
structive to property.
Woald Me Only Punishment.
Another solution proposed is that ot
weeping away the tariff duties on articles
that a truat makes. He aald that that
sounds easy, and would be punitive, no
doubt, but the moat It could do would be
to reduce profit. Som trusts would suffer
and Senator Lodge said that he would like
to aee the Meat trust punished that way.
The Steel truat, he said, Is organized to
compete In every market of the world,
while many other companies having been
built up under the protective tariff, would
be dealt a death blow should ths tariff
be removed. "You may reduce the profits
of th Steel trust," he asld, "but you leave
it master fit the Held. If you took off the
outy on wooieua, the Wool trust wouiu
probably cloas every one of its mills."
Senator Lodge thought the methods ot
regulating trusts by putting them Into the
control of ths publlo through the govern
ment Is the silliest remedy ever suggested.
He thought the first remedy Is supervision
and publicity and the latter is the first
thing to seek. In this connection Senator
Lodge referred to the suits against the
railroad merger and ths Injunction against
the Beef trust In conclusion, he said
tbat this country wants to retain pros
. perity and at the aame time meet the
queatloa of trusts. He said some means
must be found to bring them within the
Isw not to ruin them, but to regulate
them, to make the public understand them,
to remove the mystery and the discon
tent. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. . At the close
. of the state and congressional campaign
tonight the republican leaders assert that
they will re-elect John F. Hill on Monday
by about 18.000 plurality. Two years ago
Governor Hill's plurality was 83,000. but at
that Urns there was much mors Interest
in the contest than there Is now, as ,lt
was the year of the presidential election.
It is generally conceded th"t all four
ot tho republican congressmen will be re
elected. The legislature, as usual, will be
easily republican, although the democrats
expect to make gains In both branches,
especially In ths house.
The principal Interest In the election
centers In ths four counties where the
Issue is enforcement ot the prohibition law.

It was asld that admission would be

granted only one day each week, and upon
devoted to the aid of local charities. Instead
of allowing Popl. to vl.lt the abbey every
day a. formerly. The Inhabltanta ot Ha.t-
inga were, therefore, thrown Into consterna
tion, and one paper went so far as to say:
"Mr. Grace baa evidently lived long enough
In London to be thoroughly Imbued with
the principle that an Englishman's house
Is his castle."
Mr. Grace informs the Associated Press
that no change whatever will be mad.
When the late duchess of Cleveland, to
whom the abbey formerly belonged, resided
on the estate, th public waa only admitted
on Tuesday and thla rule will be continued.
When the Graces are away the public can
aee the ahow place every day on payment
Of a small tee to heip the poor ot Ksaiiuaa.
Referring to other rumors that he was
desecrating the Interior of the building, Mr.
Grace said: "It Is all quit absurd. Every
thing remains as It It. All the ancient fea
tures of the building. Inside and outside,
will be preserved. W are only putting in
electric lights and baths, Ther was not a

Most ot the papers today fill many col- I
umns with sketches ot Prof. Vlrchow's
career. Th Vosstsch Zeltung tells again
the story ot Prince Bismarck's cballeng-
lng the professor to a duel In 1865 for re-

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE LINGO.
Narrowly Escaped an International
Complication In Germany.
' A Harvard graduate tells in the New York
Tribune this story on himself. Says he
"The summer after graduation I was trav
ellng alone through Germany. Before land
ing in the country I had thought that I knew
considerable about the language, having
spent two years In the study ot it, with a
finish of Goethe and Schiller. But I soon
found that a reading of the poets' or th
'Nlebelungen Lied' did not help mi whsn I
wanted to order a beefsteak at a hotel or
was Inquiring ths distance to the next town.
Indeed, as I went farther up the Rhine I
found myself more and more confused by
what I beard, and had finally made up my
mind that an American can not learn the
German language out of text books, or even
by a week's sojourn among ths Oermsn peo
ple themselves.
'I hsd reached this sober conclusion when
I entered cn evening a small ton or 'gast-
haua,' Just outside th town of Heidelberg.
Thirsty from th hot sun and dusty road, I
managed to order a glaas of beer. Whits
th heavy German innkeeper was drawing
anothsr I put my feet on tbe table to better
as my legs. At ths other end of th t
ble sst a number of German soldiers, drink
lng and smoking together. A few moments
Ister one ot the soldiers arose hastily and
taking off bis cap, addressed me at some
length. Not knowing a word that wss said
I concluded thst yes would be a proper aa
swer, and so I said, politely: 'Yah, yah!
'There was a moment's pause, and then
a aecond soldier sprang to bis feet. He re
peated over thn apeech of the first soldier,
snd then all the group In uniform stared at
mr By a natural Inference, I new decided
that If 'yah' was wrong, a negative answer
must fit the question, so I smiled plsss
aatly and, taking off my hat, answered
Neln, neln, Dimmer.
"AH th aoldlers now sprang to their feet
and there might have been International
complications at the preaent time between
th United States and Germsny It the hotel
keeper, who knew a bit of English, had not
aald:
" 'Young man. they hav aaked you twice
to tske your feet off the table, and threaten

who know German refuse to speak it and
French Is sometimes the common medium
of communication. The language queatlon

Malcoa Praying Difficult.
What the Polee are especially angry over
ia the requirement In tbe acboola that the
Lord's prayer must be learned in German.
How, tbe Poiea ask, can ons pray In a
German language? And In this the Polish
Catholio church supports the Poles. The
administration apparently did not forsee
tbe effect of this order, but it cannot well
withdraw It under Are.
A- violent local question Just now Is the
expectation tbat a German not knowing
Polish will bo appointed head of th Rac-
slnskl library, a famous collection of 10,000
Polish volumes open to the public The

least chance of the government giving up
Its determination to reduce the uae of the
Polish policy begun by Prince B!amack. It
la having tbe effect designed and in sev
eral generations must win. Ths Polish
outbursts of the Isst few months are only
Incidents. The government does not waver.
Tbe Poles also admit tbat tbsir language
Is rather loalng than gaining ground and
this consciousness embitters them. The
burgomaster, Herr Witting, a German, who
la about to Lav Poaen and become man
ager of the National Bank of Berlin, at a
aalary of $26,000, told Emperor William
whan his majesty asked what he thought of
th stories of Polish conspiracies snd sec
ret movements towards Independence thst
ther was nothing whatever In them and
that tbey simply were inventions Intended
to barm Poles and further confuse tbe sit
uation.

MARK TWAIVS FIHST WINKING.

Stones Down Incline.
In the September Century Rev. Henry M.
Wharton tells this anecdote of Mr. Clemens
as a boy, which he heard In Hannibal, the
humorist's old home:
A favorite sport of tbe boys waa to go to
a high hill near an old mill and atart a
loose rock down the steep side until, gath
ering force and velocity. It finally went
crashing Into tbe water below. On on
occasion an ill-directed mlaaile aaaalled the
mill and made a hole through it Ilk the
path of a tblrty-pounder. Th miller ran
out and lifted up his voles In prayer, be
seeching heaven to spar him and bis prop
erty, promising. If the prayer waa answered,
never to ask soother favor of the Almighty
while be lived. One Immense boulder,
partly burled In the hlllslds, promised to
the mind of young Ssm a lot of tun. H.
called tbe boys together and thua addressed
them: "Fellows, this is a bigger rock than
ever rolled dowa any hill; It will tak lots
of work to move ber. but when shs starts
all ths ''world can't stop ber. We can lift
her out. I will be th boss, and you fel
lows work, and ws will see the greatest
thing that ever happened." Many Sunday
were spent In tolling at th sides and un
derneath the great rock. - The "boaa" nsvsr
for a moment lost bis nerve, but cheered
the others on In tbelr work, until on day
they succeeded In turning over the great
mass of stone. Over and over It went, fas
ter and faster, till the boys were frightened
almost out of their senses. They did not
know where or how the thing would stop.
It wss msklng for ths road Vhlch wound
around tbs bill; some ons might b pass
ing; or, even if not, the wsy might be for
ever blocked. Tbey watched and wondered.
At last it struck tbe oad wltb tremendous
power, snd. tsklng a mighty leap, landed
in the channel of the Mississippi river. Of
course no one knew who did It, but It is
said tbat H waa neceaaary to send a gov
ernment dredge to tak th obstruction
from th stream.
