Figures were given to show the advantages the United States, would secure by the adoption of this policy. AGJUR ONTHE STUMP IsrECIAL TILEQIULK TO TBI DISPATCH. 1 Watebyille, Me., August 29. One of the largest and most enthusiastic mass meet ings thus Tar during the State campaign, was held this afternoon and evening in this pretty little college town on the Kennebec. For days and weeks "flaming posters and display ads in the Republican newspapers have contained the announcement that Hon. James Q. Blaine, Governor Burleigh and Hon. Seth.Ii. Milliktfl- would address the voters of the Kennebec valley to-day. Blaine always draws a crowd in any sec tion of the State, and, as it was generally known that this would be his first and last speech during the present campaign, All Wanted to Hear Blaine. There was a rnsh to hear him. Excursion trains were run from Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, Skowhegan and other larger towns, and "Waterville has not seen such an influx of visitors for many a day. It is pretty safe to say that many of those present, ac customed to hearing the strongest of pro tectionist sentiments from Blaine when on "'the-stump in former years, were a irood deal eurprlsed and mystified by what they heard to-day. Many distinguished localt politic&ns and several of the college professors occupied seats of honor en the stand. Governor Bur leigh spoke at some length, and then Bev. Dr. A. W. Small. President of Colby Uni versity, introduced Mr. Blaine as "The deader of, the Republican Parry and the famous advocate of a progressive protective tariff" After some compli mentary references to the voters of the State and the' pleasure he felt at being among his old friends again the speaker touched upon the, few issues presented in the State campaign, now near its dose, and then pitched at once into National questions. He'said: 1 wish to declare the opinion that the United States has reached a point where one of its highest duties is to enlarge the area of its foreign trade. Under the beneficent policy of protection we have developed avolnme of manu facturers which, in many departments, over runs tbe demands of the home market. In the field of agriculture, with the immense pro pulsion given to it by agricultural implements, we can do far more than produce breadstuff and provisions for onr own people, nor would It be an ambitious destiny for so great a country as ours to manufacture only what we. can consume or to produce only what we can eat. ' A Demand for Expansion. We are already in many fabrics and in many products far beyond that, and our great de mand is expansion. I mean expansion of trade with conntrles where We can find profitable ex- changes. Wo are not seeking annexation of i territory. Certainly we do not desire it unless it should come by tbe volition of a people who might ask the priceless boon of a place under ' the flag of the Union. I feel sure that for a long time to come the people of the United States -"" will be wisely content with our present area and not launch upon any scheme of annexa , tion. At the same time T think we should be un wisely content if we did not seek to engage in what the younger Pitt so well termed annexa tion of trade. For nearly 30 years now the United States has had she great advantage of a protective tariff, by far the longest unbroken period that its industrial policy has been In force since the Federal Government was organised. Happily tbe great majority of our people, without strict regard to party lines, believe that the results to the American people from tbe protective policy has been in I calculably beneficent, aggregating in a quarter of a century of national and individual wealth beyond anything ever dreamed of before in the world. A Necessity of the War, I do not mention protection, because I intend to speak in reference thereto before this audi- t ence. That would be a needless, if not an Im- ' - pertinent effort. I merely wish to proclaim its victories. Without protection the United States would have been poor Indeed, after tbe ravages of the war from 1861 to 1865.

I coold readily advance other illustrations to the j tame effect. m , As I have already intimated, I am here to ft'.- speak of the expansion of our foreign trade, " not by any novel process, not by any mode that ;:jv, will shock or disturb borne industries, not by rv any means that will Invite our people to rash .r, experiments, or that will launch us in doubt- "fr jSai a"1 dangerous investments.

Where We Gained and Lost. We shall find It instructive and valuable to examine into ths sources of our Imports and the destruction of onr exports and strike a balance between the two. Take last year 18S9. In that year our wool exports to all the countries in tbe three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and to Australia, Canada and Hawaii, amounted in round numoers to om, 000,000, and onr imports from all these countries amounted, in round numbers, to 529,000,000, showing that from that vast trade we had a balance of $129,000,000 In our favor, equivalent to that amount of gold among our people. But when all the accounts were closed. In stead of having (129,000,000 in our favor, we had a balanoe of $18,000,000 against us from our foreign trade. We .must therefore hare lost $112,000,000 In our commerce with the .countries outside of those to which I bare 'referred. "Where could we have found such a large ad verse balance? Let me tell you. We lost Wl, O00.0UO in Cuba, from Which our imports were $5200,000, and to which our exports were only 11,000,000. Forty-one million is a pretty large sum to lose in one island in a single year. In the Republic of Brazil we lost 851,000,000. Our imports from Brazil were f60.000.000. Our ex ports to Brazil were 9,000,0000. ,Onr imports from Mexico were 21,000,000; out exports to Mexico were 111,000,000. A Die Balance Against Vs. To sum it all up. our imports from countnes south of us. both Insular and continental, on this hemisphere were 1216,000,0001 our exports to tbim were 874,000,000. -The balance against us in our trade with those countries, therefore, 13142,000,000, exceeding onr gains from all the rest of the world by $13,000,000. By no figure of .speech can we flatter ourselves into tbe belief that our trade with onrAmerican neighbors is in a prosperous condition. How can this state of affairs be remedied! You have heard a great deal within tbe past ten years from our Democratic friends about the iniquity of the Republican party keepingup the war tariff. As a matter of fact tbe war tariff has not been kept up, but has been amended over and over again until tbe revision of lSS31eft scarcely a trace of the actual tariff that was in operation at tbe close of the war and for a few years afterward. During tbe war we were compelled to tax almost everything in the air, in the water, on the earth and under the earth. The necessi ties of the Government were so great that we conld allow scarcely anything to be imported without paying tribute, and I think no patri otic man can deny that that was a wise policy. -We were not then studying the philosophy of trade relations, but bow to save the lire of the nation. Money was tbe primal necessity, and we seized it wherever we conld reach it law fully, but during tbe last IS years a great change has been made. Time for a Chance of Poller. So entirely has the war tariff been abolished that in the fiscal year, ending Jnne SO, 1889, the artioles admitted free were considerably more than one-third of all the imports. The im ported articles that paid dnty exceeded $483, 000,000 in value and tbe imported articles that paid no duty exceeded $256,000,000 in value. The Inevitable tendency Is, I think, toward an increase of the free list. Our great mistake was made when we began to repeal the war duties pn so large an amount of imports. Any duty removed was a favor and advantage to the exporting country, and we have asked nothing in return. Instead of this course (which I must say was one or carelessnesiand wastefulness by both political parties) every repeal of duty should hare been preceded by a most thorough investigation and whenever It was found practicable to export anything from the United States and thus establish reciproci ty of trade it should have been done. I do not, of course, intend to declare or to imply that we conld have secured the free ad missing of $236,000,000 of American products into countries where products we purchase annually amount to that. The richer country cannot expect to get a complete reciprocity in amount from, countries less wealthy, but what ever we should have received would have been a clear gain, and in all future repeals of duties whatever we may be able to-get will be a clear gain. It is not a question of setting deliber ately to work to establish reciprocal exchanges, but with all the duties we'have thus far re pealed ithas been a question whether weshould get something or get nothing. A Very Merloni mistake. We have chosen with our eyes closed to get nothing. X hope now1, Jwith onr eves open, that wo shall, in future, ctiSbsa to get something. We encounter opposition to this policy from those who declare that if we enter into-reciprocity of trade with one country we must do so with all countries, and thus Indirectly bring about complete free trade. J do not see the logic of this, apd 1 am sure the fact will not prove wbat is predicted. We may eater into reciprocity with one nation because we find ad vantage iu it. We may decline to enter into reciprocity with another nation because we see no advantage in it. Reciprocity is simply apolicy of circumstance to be determined favorably or adversely ac cording as its operation may make or lose for us. To say that because we enter into recip rocal relations with on -country on one thing we must enter into reciprocal relations with all other countries on all thincs is to my mind as absurd as to say that if I bny a horse to-day I must necessarily buy a drove of asses to morrow.' All objections of that kind are. I am sure, unfounded, and will not stand the test of argu ment or a practical trial. Our people do not realize the great fact that if specie payment is endangered in this country, it is likely to be endangered by our preseLt system of trade with tbe Latin-American States. 1 he few mil lions of gold that have gone out of this coun try within the last three month s have created uneasiness in certain quarters as to our 'finan cial position. One Extrordlnnry Feature. It is very extraordinary that the loss of these millions from banks in Wall street should be accounted so serious an event when we have lost a much larger amount during tbe same period from the condition of our trade with the countries south of us without exciting the least observation. When our merchants and bankers come to thoroughly appreciate this fact we shall receive aid and influence in tbe reform of our trade from a quarter which thus far it has been impossible to enlist. ,Tbe large audience listened with the pro foundest attention and his speech met with great approval. Hon. William E. Mason, of Illinois, followed, indorsing in anr en thusiastic speech the principles of reciprocal trade. Tbe meeting closed with m earnest speech by Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, advo cating tbe Federal election bill and warning the voters that tbe Government must pro tect all its citizens in tbe right to vote. FATTXSOITS POSITION. Be Is la Favor of Ballot Reform to the Fullest Extent. r snctii, TILXQBAK to the dispatch.1 Philadelphia, August 29. Governor Pattison was shown to-day a Republican newspaper intimating, that he does not favor a constitutional convention for ballot re form because he made no allusion to it in bis letter of acceptance, He replied that ballot reform, like equalization of taxes and other State questions, was omitted from tbat particular letter for reasons deemed quite sufficient at the time. Bnt no one Joubted his position on the tax question because he did not devote two or three columns to it in a letter of acceptance. Why then on ballot reform? "There's no difference," he said "among Democrats on ballot reform. . We are all equally determined in favor of a pure, free, and, to tbat end, necessarily a secret ballot tbe Australian ballot, as the Scranton Convention declares. It is a most im portant reform, and if a constitutional con vention shall be necessary to accomplish it, a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Legislature would certainly unite in a call for such a. convention." "Then, Governor, there is not, as some of the Bepublicans papers have contended, any difference between you and ex-Lieutenant Governor Black on this subject?" '(There is not I have understood his position and he mine from the beginning."

Enochs Nominated for Congress by the Re publicans of the Twelfth Ohio District A Dramatic Scene Close an Exciting Conveniton. rSPZCLU. TZXSGBAX TO THX DISPATCH.! Gallipolis, O., August 29. One of the most sensational endings ever seen in an Ohio Congressional convention was wit nessed here to-day. There were tears, as1 saults on character, an appeal that would have moved tbe most callous nature, ending in the eternal burying of the politi cal hopes of one man of prominence and the placing of another in a position where turning a hand will put him on the highway to greater place. When the con vention met this morning there was a feel ing that a crisis had been reaohed. After SO monotonous ballots bad been taken the convention recessed to noon. At tbat hour, and before a ballot could be taken, Lawrence county, which for nearly 1,000 ballots had voted for Enochs, with drew for consultation. On its return Gen eral Grosvenor took the stand and said he had become 'a candidate by false pre tenses and in a shrewdly worded speech which sought to stab Judge Thomp son, withdrew from the contest. Athens refused to .leave Grosvenor, Meigs split slightly and Lawrence gave Grosvenor half her votes. Then ensued a scene scarcely ever witnessed in Ohio. Cheers for Gros venor, mingled with yells ot "fraud" and "treachery," filled the air. County after conntv changed, and blow? were imminent. At last Judge Thompson standing on the table made himself heard. He openly charged Grosvenor with tbe greatest of political crimes, with treachery and pre tending to withdraw. The scene was dra matic. Grosvenor, white as death, at tempted to pull Thompson down. The latter looked Grosvenor square in the face and made a sudden resolve to kill Grosvenor politically and turning like a flash to his own delegation, his teeth set, his eyes afire, he said: "Men, this at tempt at treachery on the part of Grosvenor has resulted in givinsr him the nomination unless we act now. Unless you vote as I direct not one of you shall ever be my friend again. Now vote." A member from Thompson's county asked a poll, and as each name was called a vote for Enochs was recorded,, and be was nominated. Grosvenor, sullen and beaten, skipped away, and it was openly declared he was dead forever in Ohio politics Every Foraker man in Southern Ohio is wild with delight. HIGE0ES ASK FAIR PLAT.'

At an earlyiour this morning a fire oi enormous proportions broke out on the banks of the Thames. The scene of the. disaster la the old Sun wharf, 'which is built at the bot tom of a narrow street in Rat cliffe highway. One of the most populous districts in the East End, and inhabited for the most part by sailors. The buildings in tbe street are used by several firms as storage warehouses, andall along the banks of tbe river are vast coal stores. Soon after daylight huge volumes of smoke were observed by the watchman on duty to be rising in tbe ' still, air, and iu a tew minutes they were fol lowed by a sudden burst of flame which lighted the whole of the district with a lurid glow. Tbe man gave the alarm and immediately a mounted messen ger galloped to the nearest fire station and tbe news was wired to Captain Shaw, the head of the brigade, and to all the other fire offices in the metropolis. THE TVHOLE FOBCE OUT. The steamers were ordered without delay from every district of the city, and all the floating rafts and engines of tbe brigade were dispatched totoe scene of the fire, which iu a very short time was attacked both by land and water. The scene baffles any attempt at description. For honrs and hours was the whole force of the brigade engaged in' pouring volumes of water on tbe burning mass, which was 40 yards in one direction and 20 in another an enormous furnace raging and thousands of tons of coal involved. " The heat was terrible aid the glare blind ing. Soon tbe entire wharf became in volved, and the whole of the Thames, with its shipping and the adjacent docks, were brightly illuminated. At that time 17 steamers were engaged in pouring water on tbe fire, but with little effect, and it seemed as if the 100 fire men engaged would never be able to make way against it, and fears began to be enter tained tbat it would spread to the shipping and the adjacent warehouses. ) A GEEAT LOSS THUEATENED. I This would have meant a loss, of Hi dreds of thousands of pounds, and the efforts of the men were directed to pre venting such a catastrophe. They worked indefatigably, and gradually, after many hours' work, tbey commenced to make headway against tbe flames, andby 7 o'clock they were practically surrounded and fears of their spreading were at an end. The men said they would be able to get tne fire under control during the course of the day, but the coal will go on smoldering for some time, so that their presence will be required to prevent a further outbreak. It is impossible at present to estimate the amount of loss which the fire has caused. A tribute must be paid to tbe admirable way in which the men worked in the face of the danger and the almost overpowering beat. ELOPED ONLY TO DIE. Love's Young Drenm Ended by a Murder and Suicide. BT PUJTLAP'g CABLE COMPANT.1 BEBLIN, August 29. From Gratz comes tbe story of a murder and suicide which oc curred in that place early to-day. A young man named Sigamund Drumman, from Brunn, near Vienna, brought his young and beautilul wife to the Askarrisch Hotel. Daring tbe night sounds of dispute were heard issuing from the couples cham ber. Tbe husband was evidently trying to persuade the wife to drink a bottle ot wine and she was refusing. The wine being analyzed after the crime, was found to be poisoned. Early in the morning a shot was beard, and the night watchman, alarmed, burst in tbe door and found the woman dead and no one else in the room. He sent a messenger for the police, and as the man crossed the street he stumbled over the body of the murderer, who had shot himself in the mouth and then jumped out of the window, leaving his revolver x on the sill. In the dead woman's hand was clutched a torn piece of paper on which was scarwled the words: "We die .together." On the dead woman's body being exam ined it was found that tbe pistol bullet had pierced her heart She was of a fair com plexion and dressed in very good taste, being evidently of a much higher station in society than the husband who murdered her, who, it turned out was a spendthrift and gambler wbo bad found means to persuade the daughter of a wealthy gentleman to elope with him.' Her father cast her off in conse quence and her husband having lost heavily at Monte Carlo and other places till he had but ten marks left in the world, grew despond ent and tried to persuade her to die with him. On her refusal he shot her, and then putting the pistol to his own mouth, fired and leaped out of the window, falling crashed on the pavement. GOING TO PALESTINE.

The mutinous conduct occurred at Canterbury, when the troop to which these men belong was ordered to prepare for foreign service.

They were at once placed under ar rest, but, breaking away from the guard house, they continued their boisterous ac tions, smashed windows and indulged in loud and blasphemous language.

TWO REMARKABLE MEN. Dolllnger and Cardinal Newman Highly Eulogized by Gladstone. By Associated Press. London, August 25. Mr. Gladstone, in an article to The Speaker, eulogizes Doll inger and Newman as two of the most re markable men of the contemporary Christian church. Each, he says, gave his heart to the Purifier, his will to the will governing the universe. The construction of Doll inger's mind was simple; of Newman's, it was complex, requiring more to be written about The Cardinal was a subtle far reaching genius, the shadings of whose thonght were like tbe countless rip ples of the sea. He stands in no invidious rivalry as a man of prodigious learning. Referring to Dollinger's address on the Hebrews in' Europe, Mr. Gladstone says it was issued when the anti-semitio movement raged in Germany, evidently lor the pur pose oi making the Germans ashamed. Dollinger knew, as others did not, the in credible sufferings of that race sufferings which dishonor Europe almost as much as the sufferings of Ireland dishonor England. His conscience and sense of justice were1 offended at the threatened infliction of new injuries. The Latin Church was not in sensible of the gap in her ranks by the ex pulsion of Dollinger.

Tne Hew Kentucky Senator Makes it Serely as a Matter ef Only; Senator Edmunds yesterday introduced a resolution providing that Congress shall adjourn September 19 and meet again No vember 10. The object is to secure time to pass the Federal elections bill at the next session. The Democrats will fight the prop osition to the bitter end. tVEOM A STAI7 COBBXSFONSXT.I Washington, August 29. Although the possibility of a proposition to take a re cess had been talked about, nobody thought it really would be made, and, therefore, tbe joint resolution introduced by Senator Ed munds to-day providing for a recess of Con gress from September 19 to November 10 was a surprise, like most of the resolutions that have been recently introduced in the Senate. Itisanotherresultofthe victory of Senator Q nay over those Senators who have pre tended to be in favor of legislation, bnt have steadily opposed a change of tbe rules which would tend to promote legislation. PBOYINO THEIB ENTHUSIASM. Senators Edmunds and Hoar have smarted keenly under the criticisms that have been heaped upon their heads for their surrender to Quay, and they have learned it is a gen eral impression that their solicitude for the elections bill was all a "bluff." Therefore, tbey laid their heads together to arrange a new schepe to prove their enthusiasm for that measure, and the resolution of to-day is the result. Less than half a dozen Senators were aware this morning that it would be intro duced, and it was not received with special favor, simply because it it be passed at all, it can only be passed afer a great waste of time, as tbe Democrats will fight it tooth and nail, knowing it is in tbe interest of the elections bill. It is probable that nearly as muoh time would be wasted in the two branches debat ing it as would be gained bv a meeting in 'November. The great argument in its favor with most ol tbe Bepublicans is that anything which will hasten an adjournment is commendable. , ANXIOUS TO GET AWAY. It is thought that this might even lead the Democrats to let it pass as they, as well as the Bepublicans, are very restive and nerv ous on account of tbe approach of tbe cam paign and the necessity of being at home to look after their interests. Senator Hoar said this evening that he thought the reso lution would bs taken up within a few days and passed without much trouble. The Kepublican leaders in the House seem to favor it, but the rank and file are largely indifferent, as they do not think much would be gained by meeting a couple of weeks in advance of tbe regular session. If .the resolution be pushed, however, it is pretty certain to nave all .Republicans whipped into line, with the Democrats solidly-arrayed against it and in for a strong fight, and this may lead to its abandonment Liohtnes, MANGANESE IK PENKSxXVArTIA, 'Another Important Mineral Discovery Made la tbe Keystone Stale. irrtoai a STArr coubespondent.j Washington, August 29.

(relating to free wool) having been read, Mr. Carlisle moved to have them all struck out, so as to have wool -put on the free list He did not' ex, pect his motion to be adopted; but he considered it his dnty to offer it. He argued at length in support of bis proposi tion, and urged that tbe same reason which was used to justify putting sugar on the free list applied equally to putting wool on the free list tbat was, tbat under all the stimulus of tariff duties its production had not kept pace with the home demand for wool, and that foreign wool was necessary to supply the demand. In reply to this argument Mr. Aldrich pointed to the fact tbat while the borne product of sugar bad only a slight Increase in a series of years the home product of wool had increased enormously.
