The Alliance Procession and the Doughty General Wheeler. How Surgeon General Baxter Waited Nino Years for Promotion. Authors Should Be Thankful for the Now Rules In the House. [Special to the Press.] Washington, December 7.—A Tennesset member tells an amusing story of a dialogue with Gen. Wheeler of Alabama, about the best way of dealing with the Farmers’ Alii ance. It was when the craze first appeared and it waseithei!compromi9ing or sweeping awaj many of the Southern Representatives "i’ll tell you,” said the Tennesseean tc Wheeler, “there is only one way to meel this craze, and that is to smite it. We musl either go under it or behind it. If we do not : It will ruin us.” "Ah, ah, I don’t know about that,” ro plied the nervous little cavalryman, who had | been dancing around on one foot and then on the other, “when I was in the army ] used to tell men to go, and they went, and to come and they came; but I am not in the army now.” It is doubtful whether Gen. Wheeler went either under or behind the Alliance procession. Tho career of the late Surgeon Genera1 Baxter furnished an interesting case ol hope deferred by a combination of extraor- dinary circumstances. Gen. Baxter who went to the war as surgeon of Col. Fletcher Webster’s Massachusetts regiment, joined the regular army after the close of the war and rose to be chief medical purveyor, an office which he elevated from a condition of little importance to one of great value and efficiency. Ten years ago Dr. Baxter was in line of promotion to the position of surgeon nnnnvAl IIMiam Ha.. TIa./JaU ^..a a!aa»aJ »a the Presidency, Dr. Baxter seemed sure of the promotion, for Mr. Garfield was his friend. Mr. Garfieid made the appointment of Dr. Baxter a personal matter, and had his nomination all ready to send to the Senate on the 1st of July, 1881. Something de- layed the transmission of the nomination, and before it was sent Guiteau fired the fat- al shot. Another President came In, and not until this year did Dr. Baxter get the promotion which so nearly cime to him nine years ago. It is thought that the copyright bill has a fair chance of getting through the Senate, if it does its friends may congratulate them- selves in gettingtbeir long hoped formeasure safe in harbor just on the eve of tho storm. It would be hard to say how many years the agitation for an international copyright bill has been going on, but Congress under the old system of doing business could never even get to the consideration of the bill. The present Congress took it up last session, and after a debate in the House the bill was de- feated. But it was a gain to get even a chance to consider the bill, and the friends of the measure went to work to enlighten men who had opposed it as to its real nature. They were successful, and when the committee on rules brought up the bill in the House this week it passed. There are said to be a majority of senators in favor of it, and if a protracted contest over the elections bill does not prevent the passage of any general mea- sures i he copyright bill will probably become a law. The feature of the bill is that it permits foreigners to take American copyright on the same basis as A uerlcaa citizens in three cas"s: First, when the nation of the foreigner permits copyright to American citizens on substantially the same basis as its !own citizenss second, when the nation of the foreigner gives to Ameiican citizens copyright privil- eges similar to those provided for in this hill; third, when the nation of the foreigner is a party to an international agreement providing for reciprocity in copyright, by the terms of whic agreement the United States can become a party thereto at its pleasure. 1A subsidiary but important pro- position of the bill Is that all books copy- righted under the proposed act shall be printed from type set within the United States or from plates made therefrom. There has always been an unusual amount of pre- judice against the bill among a certain class of Congressmen who come from regions where there is not a great amouDt of book- learning. In general the seightof the on- position came from the Democrats and the weight of the support from the Republicans. In the next Congress, with its hundred majority of Democrats and stockiugless Alliance men from the West there would probably be little cbance for a bill to protect the author in the enjoyment of the product of his labor. The New Apportionment. Washington, December 7.—It Is under- stood the Republican members of the census committee have reached an agreement upon a reapportionmeut bill, based upon a representation of 359 members of the House. The |JU.ocnt jjuuou vuuouvo ut ww* uicuuciOi iuc rati 3 of representation is one member to each 17,391 of the population. This islabout the low est number which will permit each state during the next decade to retain its present mem beruhip. Massachusetts gains one member and is the only state in New England to gain. Washington Motes. Mr, Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co reports that the tests of nickel steel for armor recently made by that company were most thorough, and demonstrated even more suc- cessfully than the recent government tests at Anuapolis the superiority of that metal for naval purposes over any heretofore employed. Funds have been deposited by the treasury department to the credit of the disbursing officers for the quarterly payment, and during the weekending December 11, 831,000,000 will be paid out on account of pensions. The sub committee has prepared a fortifi- cations bill of 81.300,000, which will be reported to the full committee today. A House Republican caucus will probably he held Monday night, when Samuel Hosmer of Massachusetts, now assistant postmaster, will very likely he nominated for postmaster of the House. Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Stanley were the guests of houor at a luncheon given Saturday at 2 o’clock by President Harrison. In the ab ence of Mrs. Harrison Mrs. Dimmick presided. Lunchesn was served in the pri- vate dining room, which was elaborately decorated with palm and rare species of ferns. Daylight was excluded and the apart- ment lighted with incandescent lamps. Sec- retary and Mrs. Blaine and Miss Blaine were among the guests. Representative Gear of Iowa has introduced for reference a bill granting to the widow of the late Justice Samuel F.

Rockland, December6.—January 1,1891 will witness quite a change among the oc cupants of the Knox county court bouse it this city. On that date tho various count) officials, chosen in the recent fall electlor will take their new positions. Franklin Trussell of St. George, Democrat, who has held the office of county commissioner for the past four years,retires In favoi of Capt. Henry W. Sleeper of Union, a staunch Republican who received honorable mention wnlle serving under Admiral Farra gut on the Mississippi during tho late war. Mr. Trussell, the retiring commissioner, will renresent the next legislature from the class of St. George, Cushing and Friendship, the Democratic Gibraltar of Knox county. Edgar Beverage of Rockland, Republican, will be succeeded in tbe office of county treasurer by Alvah B. Clark cf Rockland, Prohibltioulst, ivho was supported by ite Union Labor and Democratic parties. Bever- age, who was a soldier in the late war of the rebellion, retires after serving a very satisfactory term. Mr. Clark, his successor, is at present foreman in the Opinion office, and enjoys tbe reputation of being one of the finest printers iu the state. Ho is a native Massachusetts. Sheriff Wilder S. Irish of Rockland, Dem- ocrat, who has served In that capacity since 1882, at. last abdicates In favor of J. Warren Gray, VinalhaveD, also a Democrat, who has the reputation of being a very shrewd and skillful officer. Perhaps t'ne most notable change is In tho office of register of deeds which has beon held for the last 12 years by Justus E.

New York, December 6.—The most interesting feature of the final session of the board of review of the National Trotting As- sociation was presented today in the letter of C. H. Nelson concerning the Balch stallion race at Beacon Park in September 1889. Mr. Nelson’s letter to the board of review is in substance as follows: “I was approached by Frank L. Noble, the reported owner of Alcryon, who made overtures for me to prearrange with him as to the performance aud result of the tace. He proposed, in substance, to divide with me the winnings of our horses, with an sgreement that whichever of the two became first winner of two heats should be as- sis:ed by the other to win the concluding heat. 1 refused to enter into such an agreement and told him 1 thought my horse would win the race in three straight heats. “The next day, and within two hours of the race, I learned by letter that Budd Doble, whom I had previously eugaged to drive my horse, was unable to leave Philadelphia, and could not serve me. I then risked John Bplau to drive for me. He replied that he could not, and the next day told me he had been paid $500 not to drive my horse. “Finding myself at the time unable to pro- cure a driver ou whom 1 was w illing to rely, I decided to drive myself, although I was 29^ pounds heavier than regulation weight. This and the heavy track constituted a se- rinnu ...» -U ~ U ». 1 _ gave me some concern, but caused much anxiety among my friends who were present, one of whom was a frieud with whom I bad important business dealings and who had done me many favors. “This friend was approached hy an asso- ciate of Noble, whose talk on behalf of No- ble so Influenced my friend’s judgment that he promised, in case of the race being awarded to Nelson, that Noble might have the premium won by the victory. “Of this I was informed after the race. “In this promise I know my friend was influenced alone by a desire to protect my horse from combinations and accident, and thns promote his chances to win the race, which would benefit the horse by enhancing his reputation, and that would gratify me more than to possess the money involved. “I am sure my friend hail no o her motive, for neither of us had a dollar wagered on th race in any form, either directly or indirect iy- “The race was won by Nelsun, and the promise of my friend was complied with, whereby Noble did obtain the money ($6000) won by Nelson in the race, beside obtaining the second premium, 82600, which was awarded to Aleryon. LJ“Netwithstand the doubts implied by the features reclttd, it is my firm belief that Nel- son won the race on its merits, and that it was not in the powerof Aleryon to have beaten him in either of the three heats that were trotted.” The board, after considering ail this testimony, ordered that C. H. Nelson and the horse Nelson be expelled from tho National Trotting Association. A Talk With Nelson. Mr. C. II. Nelson visited Saco on his way home from Now York. His object is said to have been try and buy Blue John of L. P. True. He has always been interested In this promising young horse, probably from the fact that Blue John and Nelson are half brothers. Mr. Nelson says that while in New York he received and iefused an offer of 8100,000 for the stallion Nelson, and that he also, in the presence of a number of moneyed horsemen, offered to bet from 85000 to 810,000 that the Maine stallion can beat in a matched race any trotting horse that stands in tho world, hut none of the horsemen present seemed to take aDy exceptions to this statement or to desire to wager any money to the contrary. He says that the stallion next season will be fitted for the track again and sent to lower his record, a feat which Mr. Nelson says he can do by several seconds under the right conditions. The stallion’s services in the stud will be from 8750 to 81000, and even at these figures his books might readily be filled for a whole season. MAINE. Fire at Biddeford.

The stem of La Champagne struck the stern of the Llsbonenese. Both vessels escaped serious injury, and no person was hurt. After the collision the Llsbonenese proceeded on her way to her dock at Brook- lyn. Captain Boyer, of La Champagne, says: "We sighted the Llsbonenese comlDg towards us quite speedily. Our pilot sig- nalled the other vessel that we would cross her bow, we having the right of wav. The other vessel answered that she would cross our bow. I gave the signal to stop my ship. The vessels approached each other steadily, and finally came together. It was very dark at the time.” The pilot and the captain of a tug near by say the fnult !ay with the Llsbonenese. La Champagne’s passengers were all asleep when the collision occurred, and but few were awakened so slight was the shock. Tnere was no excitement. The commander of the Llsbonenese said: "It was La Champagne’s; duty to keep out of our way. The current was against us. I think the French steamer wholly in fault.” LONG list of disasters.

The Majority Withdraw and Choose Mr. McCarthy Chairman. Gladstone, Upon Hearing the Result, Declares Homo Rule Saved. London, December G.—Today’s meeting of the Irish party ended in Its disruption. Alter a btormy session, Mr. McCarthy and 44 others, forming a majority of those present, withdrew and going to another room, elected Mr. McCarthy chairman In place of Mr. Parnell. Those who remained adopted resolutions in support of Mr. Parnell’s lead- ership. The majority, having chosen Mr, McCarthy chairman, proceeded to consider the following resolutions: We, the members of the Irish parliamentary party, solemnly renew our adhesion to the prlDcl- pie lu devotion to which we never wavered, that tbe Irish party is aud always must remain inde- pendents all other parties. Further,we declare that we will never entertain any proposal for the settlement of the homo rule question except such as satisfies the aspiration of the Irish party and the Irish people. This resolution, which was proposed by Timothy Uealy and seconded by Mr. Sexton, was unanimously adopted. The result was communicated to Mr. Gladstone. Upon learning what had been done, Mr. Gladstone exclaimed: "Thank God, home rule is saved.” The proceedings previous to the with- drawal of Mr. McCarthy and the majority from tbe meeting over which Mr. Parnell was presiding, were stormy in the extreme. Mr. Abrahaut had drawn up a resolution to depose Mr. Parnell. That gentleman got wind of the purport, and, intercepting it as Mr. Abraham passed it on to Mr. Justin McCarthy, crushed it in his hand and put the paper in his pocket. Mr. McCarthy rose to call to order, aud was met by Mr. Parnell with counter cries of "Order!” A dozen gentlemen rose with loud shouts of "McCarthy!” "McCarthy!” “Parnell!" Abraham!” “John O’Cunuor!” “Chair!" No tricks!” Mr. McCarthy claimed a hearing for Mr. A hmlllim fr\ O/linni \! Pavnall ilnnlin/>.l listen, calling upon Mr. John O’Connor. Mr. McCarthy Insisted upon his right under parliamentary usage. Mr. Parnell—Don’t preach parliamentary usage to me, sir. Mr. McCarthy—I have had a longer experience of parliamentary usage, sir, than you, for before I sat In the House I sat in the re- porters’ gallery, and I know that when a member catches the Speaker’s eye he Is In possession of the House. Mr. Abraham caught your eye. Mr. Parnell (disdainfuliy)-Mr. John O Connor, I called upon you, sir. The greatest excitement followed this au- tocratic abuse of the rules of procedure. In the midst of whlco Mr. John O’Connor, ’Long John” got upon his legs and moved a resolution expressing confidence in Mr. Par- nell I loud cheers Rud counter cheers], and regretting the unsatisfactory recognition given to tire deputation to Mr. Gladstone and condemning Mr. Glad-tone generally lrt this crisis. Mr. O’Connor made a long and violent speech, into which Mr. Parnell interjected approving cries of his own. Mr. O’Connor’s powerful voice was frequently drjwued by the furious opposition and the vehement counter clamor of Mr. Parnell's friends. Dr. Kenny seconded the resolution. Mr. Parnell, in speaking to this amend- ment, asked: “Who is to be the master of Ireland—Gladstone ?” Mr. Heary (dryly)—Who is to be the mis- tress of Ireland? [Uproar aud cheers and counter cheers.] Mr. Parnell (rising excltedl))—You are a low, cowardly scoundrel to speak nf a lady in that way before a body of Irish gentlemen. Loud contending cheers followed Ibis retort, and it was several minutes before order could be restored. Mr. Parnell at the time was blue with passion, and Mr. Heaiy sat calm and unruffled. 'I he member for Cork then continued a speech remarkable for its varying emotions. Mr. Abraham ri se to move his amend- ment, and was put aside In favor nf other SnHftlrprH II ruin whnm Mr Dnvnnll _I tills gave rise to a series of exditl ox incidence It becoming evident that Mr. Parnell intended to fight the position, if necessary, all night; that he had made up his mind not to resign, but to stand firm to his election on the 2otn of November, sharp at 5 30, on a given signal, Mr. McCarthy rote, with 44 others, and prepared to leavo the room. This action was followed by a svorni of personal abuse levelled at the retiring members. For a time it seemed that personal violence must follow and the police in the corridors prepared to interfere should blows he exchanged. The cooler heads among the retiring members exercised a restraining ef- fect upon tbe more beiltgeient, However, and tbe two factions separated without farther trouble. 1 ben the action stated above was taken. Afl’CARVKY’S PARTY Will Print a Newspaper and Requests a Den'ai. London, December 7.—The conference ol the McCarthy party was prolonged until after midnight last night. Mr. McCarthy presided throughout the session. A committee consisting of Messrs. Murphy, Darry, Mor- r nigh, IJealy, Sexton and Power was appointed to draft the prospectus for a limited company to establish a daily newspaper in Ireland to bo devoted to the interests of the Nationalist party. Darry Webb, treasurer of the new company, opened a list and the members present subscribed £1020. It Is probable that the "United Irelaud" wl 1 become a dally publication. Tbe nmuiual cap- ital of the company proposed is £100,000, of which £30.000 will be paid up. A majority of tbe party are keenly alive to the disadvan- tage ot leading Nationalist pipers siding with Parnell, and the whole machinery of the National League being under his con- trol. They are hopeful the influence of the bishops and priests will assist them to obtain a popular voruict. 11 th sides are pre- paring for an immediate campaign iu Ire land. Messrs, hexton, John Redmond, Crilly aud others present when tbe majority seceded from the parliamentary caucus, request a denial of seusalional statements that some members of the caucus stood upon ta- bles and threatened to fight mid that it was necessary to call in the pi lice lo quell the disturbance. On the contrary, it is stated the members who seceded leit the room without disorder and almost in silence, and no offensive epithets were exchanged. The Mayor of Cork, after hearing of tbe secession of the McCarthy party fast ( ve- iling sent this dispatch to Joliu O’Connor: "Ireland won’t allow Kuglatul to select her leader. Tills right lx 1 ings to Ireland. The Irish won’t stand Gladstone’* dictation.” Envois Moke a Statement.

We have received assurances that the Parliamentary Fund As- sociation of New York, otherwise known as the llolfman House Committee, which raised 8300,000, and turned it over to Mr. Parnell personally at the time of the last general election, heartily endorses our action and the Municipal Council of the League iu New Yolk also support us.” McCarthy Calls a Meeting;. Losmox, December 7.—Mr. McCarthy has addressed a circular to all the Irish n embers of Parliament including Mr. Parnell calling a meeting of the patty at two o'clock tomoi- row. Many of the majority of the party are in a dilemma.

While Mr. Meigs was giving his testimony A. A. Strout, counsel for the defendant cor- poration, Intimated pretty strongly that the witness was auswerlug a question, not in ac- cordance with his own knowledge of the matter, but in obedience to Instructions received from General ButJer. This provoked an angry retort from the general, who said the answer was based on the testimony of a witness for the defense, whoso exact testimony he had obtained from a copy of the stenographic report. ‘‘Ye?,’’ said Mr. Strout, ”we permitted you to have the use of our stenograpmc re port, on condition that you would share tbe cost. You agreed to pay half the expense, but you won’t even do that.’’ Tlie general smiled composedly aud every- body laughed. DR. DALTON’S LECTURF. Tha Probable Relation and Growth of Races. "Don’t prophesy unless you know.” This, said the Doctor, Is good advice, and so far as applicable to nations requires us to rely on statistics. Wbat do they show? First, that the Latin races have declined, and the Teu- tonic steadily advanced, for three hundred years. The probability of tbe future then is in this direction. The Teutonic races in- clude, of course, the English and American (mostly). One hundred years ago the En- glish speaking races were twelve percent, or ooe-elghth of the European or civilized nations. Today, they are thirty-three per cent or one-third. They were eighteen millions and arc one hundred and eighteen millions'. The United States alone, iu oue hundred years, will have from four to five hundred millions, nild ill two hundred vears. more than the present population of the globe, (dxtcen hundred millions). England end her colouies will grow In proportion. In all of which the Irish will |have a prominent pait. Dr. Dalton proceeded to discuss the Euro- pean situation, showing ihe peculiar perils of each power, Eugland in her relations to France and Russia, France as between Eng- land and Germany, Germany between France and Russia, Austria and Italy ditto; Rus- sia’s relations to England, Germany aud China, the possibility of China becoming a great power, threatening tbo western nations; and finally the relative resources of the races known as Slavs, Latin and Teu- tons. The conclusion is that Russia will rule the Chinese out of Europe, and over them more or less in China; but. In tier turn, will be restrained from .advancing westward, by the Teutons, who will also resist all Latin aggressions as In the late Franco-German war. In brief, ihe Teutonic race? will he easily the first, unless they (all to lighting eaeli other. I'bat event might reduce them to a second place, or even ruin all. OBITUARY. Capt. Thomas Bibber.

The mayor of Minneapolis has ordered a monument from Ames& Mills of Saccarappa. The Bridgton News says: As a matter of local history. It is of Interest to state that the first mill Dullt lo Saco was by tbe late Aaron Littlefield of this town, be being the master builder. It was about tne year 1826. “Later than this iu December iu 1879 they were plowing down our way” said a Soiilb Auburn far uer Friday to the LewlsO* Journal. “It came on cold the first of the month, as It has this year, and everything froze up solid, then we had a warm spell and In a day or two, as I said, several of my neighbors were plowing.” Aroostook makes some pretensions as a wheat country.

Mr. John Tardy of Farmington is a brake- man on tbe Sandy River railroad From his name one would infer that he was one of the deliberato people, but he had an experience last week that convinced him at least that he is not at all slow. Restated a freight car from the box factory for the Farmington station, about a mile distance. He had not gone a great distance before tbe brake broke and down the grade he came on the ear at the rate of forty miles an hour, hair standing straight on eud. As he ueared the station he saw that the switch would carry him right Into a hole where three men were at work repairing the railroad scales. Tardy halloed to the men to get out of the way. and they sprang out of the hole. Then John made a Hying leap off the car and the car crashed into the hole mashing things hadly. The next time he goes roasting on a freight car he will look carefully at the break before he starts. _ Children’s Christmas Club.
