BANGOR, Me, Sept. 8.—The greatest mudience ever gathered In Dorchester county at a political meeting assembled in the town to listen to Governor McKlinley of Ohio. Long before the time advertised for the opening of the meeting 'he hall was filled to suffocation. Every seat was occupled and hundreds were obliged to stand, and &t Jeast 1,000 wero turned away. Fully 2,500 people heard the speech, which was re- ceived with manifestations of approval, show- fng that even in this quiet campaign inter- est In national affairs s strong in east- ern Malne. After making his speech In the city hall, Governor McKinley addressed an over- flow meeting at Young Men's Christian As- sociation hall. At the city hall meeting Congressman Boutelle presided and made a speech, Governor McKinley prefaced his address by warm tributes to James G. Blaine and Hannibal Hamlin. The democratic presi- dent and democratic congress, he said, have been running the government for eighteen months, during which time little else has been running. Industry has been practically stopped, Labor has found little employment, and when employed it has been at greatly reduced wages. Both goyernment and peo- ple have been draining their reserves, and both have been running in debt. The government has suffered in its revenues and the people in their incomes. The total losses to the country in business, property and wages are beyond human calculation. There has been no cessation In the waste of wealth and wages; no contentment, brightness or hope has anywhere appeared. The appeals to charity have never been so numerous and incessant, nor the necessity everywhere 50 manifest, Congress has disappointed the people, tri- fled with the sacred trust confided to it, ex- clted distrust and disgust among their con- gtituents and Impaired their investments. Pledged, if platform means anything, to over- throw our long continued policy of protection, they have quarreled and compromised, and upon their own testimony have been com- promised. SATISFIED NO ONE. The result of their long wrangle is a tarift law with which nobody is satisfied; a law which even those who made it apologize for; a law which the chalrman of the ways and means committee and almost the entire demo- cratic side of the house condemned by a yea and nay vote only a few days before its passage, afirming their intention in the most golemn manner not to permit it to be en- acted; a law which factions of the demo- cratic party are agreed Is the work of a monstrous trust, which Chairman Wilson, in the house, amid the applause of his confed- erates, confessed with deep chagrin *‘held congress by the throat;” a law of which the house of representatives was so thoroughly ashamed that they had no soonmer passed it than they made hot haste to seek its im- mediate amendment by passing supplemen- tary bills which put coal, iron, lead and barbed wire on the free list, making still further assaults on the much disturbed and distressed industries of the country, utterly heedless of the stupendous ruin they had already wrought; a law which the president condemned before its passige and from which, when passed, he withheld his approval; a law which was characterized Lefore its passage by the greatest leader In the democratic party, the senator from New York, as “a Violation of democratic pledges and prin- clples,” and which was denounced by the official head of the government, as such, as an act of “‘party perfidy and party dishonor,” and that it the house should concur in it ‘they would not dare to lcok the p ople of the country in the face,” and which the executive still condemns since their surrender as the *'yery communism of pelf.” The president, In his letter to Congressman Catchings of Mississippl, sal “The millions of cur countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tarft reform, not accepting this bill, should be expected to continue this struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare nd constantly guarding against treachery and half-heartedness in their camp,” and who, while he permitted the bill to become law, lacked the moral courage to veto it. WORK OF RUIN CONTINUES. If the country were disposed to accept this Dill as final and could permanently adjust business to it the party in power would not have it so. They have so declared with boldness and upanimity. This means, un- fortunately, a constant agitatlon until the 4th day of March, 1895, at the least, and for two years longer after that unless the people in the congressiozal elections this year make the house republican, in which event no further wrecking of our industries or interference with the labor of our people can occur during the administration of President Cleveland, What will your ver- dict be? Governor McKinley gave a history of the new tarift legislation. He sald the bill as it passed the house would have created, ac- cording to the estimate he had seen of its revenue ralsing power, a deficiency of from $40,000,000 to $60,000000. “The self-confi- dent adjustment committee” of the senste, to ‘which the bill was entrusted after it came back from the senate finance committee, was unknown to the constitution, unauthorized by the rules of the senate or by party cau- cus, tradition or custom. The manner of the making of the bill should condemn it. It was traded through without regard to principle, public policy, public interest or public morals, The adjusting committe went through the whole list of senators very patiently. They gave Senator Murphy his duty on collars and cufts; they gave the sen- ators from Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia and ‘West Virginia the duty on coal and iron ore; they gave the senators from Louisiana and @'sawhara and the great Sugar trust of the 9’ 1894 —~TWENTY PAGES. sountry the duty demanded on gave the populists the not give Senat r Brice a protective tarift on wool for his Ohlo constituents, for the sen- ator did not demand it.

It gives s-me protection; it has some free trade In it, but mostly here in the north. There fs a tariff on peanuts, but free trade in cotton ties; there is a tarift on sumac, but frec trade in wool; there ie a tarifft on mica, but free trade in Jumber. In every schedule there is the grossest ex- hibition of sectionalism and unjust diserim- inat) Governor McKinley was in his characterization of Louislana representatives, sugar; they income tax, but did concessions especlally severe the case of the who were prom- ised protecticn for thoir sugar interests and then loft out in the cold HIT THE FARMER HARD. He devoted considerable time to a com- parison of the tarift bill of 1890 with the new law, to the advantage of the former. The law of 1802, he said, has struck the farmer right and left. He has been shown no mercy whatever. The deadliest blow s against the weolgrower, The concluding portion of the address was an arraignment of the demorcatic party for what were described as its false pretenses, for its treachery to pensioners of the union army and navy and for its incapacity to con- duct the affairs of the nation.

The lie was passed several times in the com- mittee and the situation was strained for hours. hTe rule adopted will keep hundreds of democrats from the primary election and is causing the Breckinridge men to Jollify tonight. _———— RUMORS WERE UNFOUNDED, Reports of the Corean Minister'’s Enmity Toward the Japanese Unfounded. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. §.—Several days ago a story was printed here that Yesang Soo, the Corean minister, who is sojourning at a hotel in this city, had countermanded his order for transportation on the outgoing er Belgic, which sailed today, rather than make the trip in the company of the Japanese imperial prince, Kamatsu, who has been here for several days. The Informa tion, as might have been expected, was car- ried to the prince, who expressed considera- ble surprise that the minister of Corea should have so expressed himself. Yesterday after- noon, however, the minister, who has been il since he arrived here, requested Major Hooper, manager of the hotel at which he is stopping, to present his respects to the prince, who was domiciled at the Palace, and explain to him that he entertained a high re- gard for the mikado’s cousin and would gladly enjoy his company on the Belgie. Un- fortunately, however, he was too ill to make the sea yoyage and he assured hlm that this fact was his only reason for countermanding his tickets. Major Hooper's visit resulted in some pleas- ant correspondence between the Japanese and Corean representativs, and at nightfall the prince sent a message to the minister expressing deep regret at his illness and wishing him a speedy recovery. This after- noon Prince Kamatsu departed for the Orient, and before going he gave a banquet at the Palace to the Japanese consul and others of the mikado's local representatives. —_— FATAL DOSE OF OPIUM. Stranger at a Cheyenne Istered as G. Maxwell. CHEYENNE, Sept. 8.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—A guest of the Inter Occan hotel, registered as George P. Maxwell, Mex- fco, was found in his room last night suffo- cating from an overdose of oplum. He was unconsclous when discovered, and It s believed he will die. The man is well dressed and has every indication of refinement and education. There is nothing among his et- fects to Indicate who he is or where he Is from. He had a physician's case of medi- cloes In his valise, and it 1s not known whether the oplum was taken by accldent or with suleldal intent. He is a Mason, and the members of the order are caring for him. A felegram has been sent to Leland Bartlett of Santa Fe, N.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. $.—Master in Chan- cery A. Carey filed his report on matters referred to him for investigation In connec- tion with the Northern Pacific receiver: contest this afternson. The report bulky document, covering 153 closely type- written pages, and contains about 45 words. It Is a complete victory for the re- celvers, the master exonerating Thomas from every charge preferred against but Henry Villard is found guilty of ha ng made unlawful gains as a director of the Northern Pacific Railway company. A synopsis of the master's report showing the various findings follows: First, The finds that Thomas F. Oakes had no pecuniary interest in and de- rived no personal advantage or gain from any of the matters referred for investiga- tion. ccond, The master finds that Henry Vil- lard, a director of the Northern Pacific Rail- road company, made unlawful gains by the fon of the Northern Pacific & Mani- toba Rallway company by the Northern Pa- ompany to the extent of $363,601.70. Third, It is found that Mr. Oakes did not, and was not, bound to know that Mr. Villard was interested in the Northern Pacific & Manitoba railroad or that he was making unlawful gains by the zcquisition of said y by the Northern Pacific Railway company. As a sequence, the master finds that Mr. Oakes was not bound to take any measures to prevent Mr. Villard from making such unlawful gains or for the protection of the interests of the Northern Pacific Rail- way company in respect thereto. Fourth, During the four fiscal years end- ing June 30, 1893, the Northern Pacific com- pany made savings under its contract with the Rocky Fork Coal company to the amount of $1,893,581.96, an average of over $475000 per year for each of the four years. Fifth, The master finds that William L. Bull, Charles Barney, James B. Heggen and Charles B. Wright, directors of the Northern Pacific Rallway company, were interested in the Rocky Fork & Cook City Railway company and in the Rocky Fork Coal com- pany, and in the acquisition by the North- ern Pacific Railway company of the Rocky Fork & Cook City railway and in the con- tract made by the Northern Pacific with the Rocky Fork Coal company. NO DIRECTORS MADE ILLEGAL GAINS. xth, The master finds that no. directors of the Northern Pacific acquired unlawful gains by the acquisition by that company of the Rocky Fork & Cook City railway, or by the arrangement made with Rocky Fork Coal company. Seventh, The master says he cannot find that as to these two subjects of investiga- tion Mr. Oakes was in any respect disloyal to his company O its interests. ghth, The master finds that the Chicago terminals cost the original parties that were interested in the matter at the time they were turned over to the Chicago & Northern Pacific compguy $10,206,783.92 Ninth, The master finds that the Oregon & Transcontinental company recelved $18,000,- 000 of the bonds of the Chicago & North- ern Pacific company, and that it is possible to trace the dispositon of all of them ex- cept three bonds. These bonds are counted for. Tenth, On pages 134 and 135 the master reviews the account with the Oregon & Transcontinental company and shows that it received from these bonds $15,667,879.88, that it pald out fcr these properties and for ex- penses, etc., $15,481,085.42, leaving a balance of $186,798.96 unaccounted for on the debit side of their account. This Is swelled by these considerations, The master credited the company with having paid $1,350,000 for the station, which was in bonds the same as all other items in the account are, on-a cash basis; reducing these bnds to a cash basis the same as the others, 90 per cent, that would Increase the debit side of the ac- count $135,000 more, Furthermore, he finds that the $441,000 of bonds that were delivered to Baxter, treasurer, for the pur- pose of finishing the staticn should be charged up and would Increase the debit side of the account to the cash value of those bonds at 90 cents, $44,00. The testimony only shows that they had only paid in cash $850,000 in the purchase of the station. The master finds that there are $409,000 of the bonds that were delivered to Villard upon Mr. Weggs' order, but are entirély unaccounted for except that they were receipted for by Mr. Villard through Colgate Hoyt. The Ore- gon & Transcontinental company, in all its transactions relating to the acquisition of the several Chicago terminal properties, acted as the agent for fhe real parties in interest, whoever they may have been. This Is indi- cated by the agreement of January, 1890, with the Wisconsin Central company, and shown by records of these transact‘ons. Con- siderable testimony was given tending to show the disposition made by the Oregon & Transcontinental company of the moneys it nad received on account of these properties, but the master says he shall not attempt to further trace such moneys or look into the accounts of the Oregon & Trascontinental company, as he has reached the conclusion that for the purpose of this investigation it is Immaterial whether such moneys were sent or who received them for reasons which he then states: ONLY TWO INTERESTED. Megsrs. Colby and Hoyt were the only mem- bers of the Northern Pacific board during the years 1889 and 1890, in which the transac- tions under review took place, that ap- parently had any direct interest in the Chi- cago terminals. They acquired such In- terest long prior to the time when they be- came members of the Northern Pacfic board and at a time when they owed no duties to the Northern Pacific com- pany. The Northern Pacific id ot furnish Oake him, master the unac- theso bonds and was'not in smy degree lia- ble for them. It 18 true by its lease of April 1, 1890, with the Wisconsin Central system It had assumed all the coven:nts and agreements made by the Wisconsin Cen- tral company, and the Wisconsin Central company with s terminals, and thereby have agreed to pay the Chicago & Northern Pacific compiny in additin to a fixed an- nual rentsl of 0,000 a sum sufficient to pay ny deficie on the first mortgage bonds of the Chicago & Northern Pacific company, the money in question not being derived from cther rentals. There was not a direct promise to pay the interest due on this, and hence no right of scton upon the covenants or agreements existed against the company. The agreement of the Northern Pacific company (o pay a guaranty as rental, a sum sufficlent to pay the interest on these bonds was of that character and made only with such purpose that It could at any time be cancelled by the mutual consent of the two companies, and the holders of the bonds would be remedyless to prevent such cancel- lation. Further there was no agreement whatever on the part of the Northern Pacific to pay or provide any funds fir the puyment of rentcls or for the payment of these bonds. 1t cannot, therefore, be said that the North- ern Pacific railwvay has paid any interest on the bonds that have come into the hands of the Oregon & Transcontinental company. 1t this were a suit or proceeding on the part cf the Northern Pacific to set eside the assump- tion of the Northern Pacific lease the master hardly thinks it could compel the parties who had received the proceeds of the Chicago & Northern Pacific bonds to account therefor. If these conclusions are correct, he continues, then Mr. Oakes as an officer of the ern Pecific company hed no duties to perform n relation to the Chicago & Northern Pa- cific bonds or their procesds and was not bound to investigate the transactions in the sale of these bonds, The next finding is that the Union cific ¢ompany loaned the Oregon & Trans- continental company, through the Wisconsin Central company, under the dats of January 1, 1890, sums amounting in the aggregate to $2,650,000, which were all paid back with interest at § per cent on the 26th day of June, 1890, and that the Northern Pacific therefore suffered no loss or injury by reason of the loan. The next and last question considered is whether in respect to the lease of the Chi- cago terminals to the Northcrn Pacific com- pany, an exorbitant or fmprovident rental was agreed to be paid, or whether the same was so exorbitant or improvident as to in- dicate nonfeasance or misfeasance on the part of Mr. Oakes In the discharge of his duty as an officer and director of the North- ern Pacific railway. The finding as to that is that the rental agrced upon to be paid by the Northern Pacific Railway company in its lease of the Chicago terminal of 1890 was not exorbitant or improvident, and that Thomas F. Oakes was not guilty of any mis- feasance or nonfeasance as an officer of the Nerthern Pacific company In respect to said lease. North- Pa- BRANCHLINERECEIVERS DISCHARC Northern Pacific Branchos to Pass Into the Control of Trustees. NEW YORK, Sept R—Mr: = Cromwell, counsel for the Northern Pacific receivers and the reorganization committee, announced that in their behalf he had affected an ar- rangement between the receivers, the com- mittee and the Farmers Loan and Trust com- pany, trustee, whereby the twenty-four Northern Pacific branch line receiverships are to be terminated, the trustee to under- take the legal administration thercof for a limited sum per annum and the main line receivers to operate them under a fair trafiic agreement. By this arrangement over $60,- 000 per annum will be saved to the trust and twenty-four receiverships be closed, with the expenses of local attorneys mnec sary thereto. It is claimed that by the ar- rangement the unity of the system will be strengthened and the work of administra- tlon simplified. Counsel also reports the successful cgnelusion of arrangements With the bondholders’ committee of the Spokane & Palouse railroad, whereby both branches of that road are leased to the main line re- ceivers during their receivership at a re- duced Interest charge of $167,000 for the first two years and $132,000 for the second two years. Also a similar arrangement with the bendholders' committee of the Northern Pa- cific & Puget Sound Rallrcad company, whereby that road s leased to the main line receivers during their recelvership at a re- duced interest charge of $41,490 for the first eighteen months and §20,745 for the second eightecn months. All branch line receiver- ships are to be terminated :and no lease to extend beyond the life of the main line re- civership. The Work cf carrying out these various arrangements is pow under way and counsel will soon go west to consummate them, Choctaw Rallroad Sold. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I T., Sept. 8.—The Choctaw Coal and Railway company, which has been in the hands of receivers for the past two years, was sold under the hammer at this place for $3,600,000. The company will be reorganized under the name of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf s IOWASOLDIERS' HOME INVESTIGATION Commander Keatley and Adjutant Wells Suspended by the Commission. MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., Sept. 8.—As the result of a week’s Investigation by the com- missioners of the lowa Boldlérs home, Com- mandanl John H. Keatldy aid Adjutant Fred Wells are suspended ffom ‘thelr respective offices. Treasurer Ratakin asd Commissioner Birchard respectively were agpointed pro tem to the places made vacant. It is claimed by members of the board %hat’the suspensions are made pending a thorodgh Investigation of the affairs of the insfitutin by an expert committee. The comm ttes hi#s been in secrat session since last Sundsy. They found the books of the heme in a seriow® muddle. Irreg- ularities ard diserepancles were apparent in the records of financlal transactions, and Commandant Keatley's Sccowhts show him to be in arrears several Nundeed dollars, pos- sibly over $1,000. The discldBures have pros- trated Colonel Keatley, but e avers that he will satistactorlly mccount for everything as soon as he is able to go~shrough his books. Temporary Commandant Ratakin says a most searching Investigition will be speedily instituted and the business affairs of the home probed to the bottom. Reekless man- agement of this state institution s openly charged and trouble has been brewing for months. Commercial and Grand Army cir- cles are stirred up over the revelations, but many have faith that the suspended officers will yet be exonerated and possbly rein- stated.

The emperor is fond of taking all classes of his subjects to task when they diverge from him In opinion. But nas received suc rebukes as his nobles, and his rebuke was scarcely rendered more palatable by the solace afterwards ad ministered when his forgiving proffered and the nobility was urg.d, as the faithful stay of the realm, to join him in a steady process of repre n against all par- ties of disorder. There was the same ring fn the autocratic emperor's last words as was heard upon previous occasicns, and when viewed in the light of acts and results, there is nothing in them that can lead to marked political action The commercial treaty poliey of the em- peror has been more than justified, notably by the revival of trade with Russia, as shown within the last few days by offictal figures and by the tramsfcrmation of the estimated deficit in the budget into a sur- plus for the ensuing fiscal year. The emperor, in recognition of their loyalty to the throne and country, is to confer upon the noble Prussian families of Von Aue wald, Duenhoff, D:hne-Eulenberg and Lebn- dorff, the honor of naming the Koenigsberg forts after each of them. The diphtheria cure of Dr. Behring of Ber- lin, a disciple of Prof. Koch, has been ex ploited at the Buda-Pesth medical congress and endorsed by many of the delegates pres- ent. Dr. Behring's cure is called blood serum, By successive and increased doses diphtheria virus is injected into animals and they have gradually acquired immunity against the malady. The blood of such ani- mals injected into other animals has the effect of conferring immunity upon the latter or healing them if suffering from diphtheria. Of this blood Dr. Dehring extracted (he serum and has injected it into human beings with wonderful results. Prof. Heubner of Berlin and Prof. Routz of Paris endorsed the discovery at the congress. Prof Routz said he had applied it at the Children’s hospital in cases. Up to last year 60 per cent of the cases ended fatally. This year he had in- oculated over 400 children with the serum and the mortality fell from 60 to 15 per cent. After a few injections the malady changed almost instantly to fever and then soon disappeared. TROOPS SHOW GREAT EFFICIE oY, The military mancuvers about Koenlg berg have shown that the troops have been trained to a state of the greatest efficiency. The emperor seemed to delight in specially honoring Kingston, Wurtemburg and Saxony by every means in his power. Nearly all the foreign military attach attended the gala dinner on Wednesday. Among them was Lieutenant the United States military attache here, with whom Emperor William exchanged a few pleasant words. The next important event on the imperial program is the naval parade, which is to take place next week at Swinemunde, not far from Stettin, The parade of war ships will be followed by an elaborate series of naval evolutions in the open waters of the Baltic sea. The fleet will consist of seven- teen large ships and forty-two smaller ves- sels. Early this week th: emperor had a con- ference with Count von Eulenberg, the Prus- slan premier and minister of the interior, which lasted several hours. Upon that occa- sion his majesty sanctioned Count von Eule berg's bill restricting the right of public as- semblage and also restricting the rights of the public press. The premlier pointed out that, with the present reichstag, the repres- sive measure advocated in the bill could not pass through that assemblage. But some- thing was urgently needed in Prusela and the east to prevent the spread of amarchy and soclallsm. The last official report shows only fifty- three new cases and fifty-one deaths from gholera, but the danger lies in the greater spread, not only in the provinces of East and West Prussia, but in Silesia, Posen and Hesse. Nassau s now affected, and at Bres- lau there are a large number of suspects. The whole of the frontier of Posen, adjoining Russia, is closed, except at five points where all incomers are watched. In the district of Oppein, Upper Silesia, all religious pilgrim- ages have been stopped.

We anticipate that the various governments will hear of these extraordinary proceedings with wonder and surprise. They will know where to lay the entire blame which attaches. The full statement of the particular clrcumstances under which Japan has iiquitously and un- lawfully commenced war is presented to your excellency to be communicated to your government for its inspection, * Up for th s, blood- CHESS M S HARD AT WORK.
