Bakoob, Me., May 9ft—Hon. Hannibal Hamlin was interviewed relative to tha fishery trouble. He said that if there are articles in the provincial livw excluding American fishing vessels from trading in the fD—Jisn ports there should be similar restraints placed on Canadian vessel* in American waters.

Methods of campaigning are in vogue in Dixie that are unknown in the north. When two rivals for pnbllo honors appear in the sooth nobody is sure but that before the canvass closes recourse may not be had to "pistols for two and coffee for four." The process is so simple. One of the candidates courteously invites the other to meet him in joint debate. The other as courteously accepts. A tour is arranged, and the two men meet on friendly terms, face to face, on the same platform. Consideration for each other's feelings at first is marked. Then some little bit of satire calls out an inuendo; a quick reply arousee angry feeling; stinging allusions pass back and forth; one man discovers that his "honah" has been assailed, or the other gives the lie, and filially, at a quiet meeting, with only a few friends present, the ond is reached. St. Louis, May 30.—Brooks will neither 'affirm nor deny the authenticity of the confession published, bat says he never authorized its publication. Mes"Drs. Martin and Fauntieroy, attorneys fo i o dcleiioo, say that Brooks-talked against iliuir advice, but this will not change their line of defence, which will simply be negative to the prosecution. . The first witness yesterday was L. E. Hunt, room clerk of the Southern hotel, who testified to the circumstances connected with the stay at the hotel by Preller and Brooks. He had never been introduced but knew him as Preller, just as ho knew all the guests. Afterward he saw the body in the morgue, but could not identify it as that of Proller; lie could see no resemblance to Preller, in fact it did not look like a human being. Portland, Me., May 90 — A mass meeting of the fl-ib exchange was held at Ex«hfDage hall yesterday afternoon. Reprcr •eolatives from nearly fifty firms were pres" ent. A more representative business meeting was never held in this city, or one where more solid wealth and money invested in business was represented. President Trefethen called the meeting to order. Mr. E. O. WiUard said, "The time has At the. Central, station he was searched and a masi of Anarchical literature was found anjiis parson. He asked Superintendent Ebe/sold what he waa arrested for and denounced the proceeding aD em outrage. Finally it was learned that t here had been several efforts made recently by three men supposed to be Spaniards to purchase a vessel from John Dialogue, the Camden shipbuilder. Not Permitted to Land. Replying to queations, he said he waa a friend of Parsons and Spies. He said that he was at the riot in Haymarkot square, but took no part In the proceedings on that fatal night; Subsequently he went to Bt Louis, and returned to Chicago but one day ago. He would not disclose where the circular waa printed. At 5 o'clock he was brought before State Attorney Orinnell, and remained rlo3eted with that functionary some time. He is locked up In some unknown station house. Digby, N. S., May 20.—United States fishing schooner Jennie and Julia, Capt William Henry Travis, from Eastport, Mis., anchored in Digby basin yesterday and desired lo' enter as a trader. Collector of Customs Viets refused after boarding the schooner and finding fishing gear. The Jennie and Julia had not the permit which far United States fishermen have used, to make an entry at the customs a regular trader. Capt. Travis sailed out into the Bay of Fundy.. • Mr. Foster, accompanied by two special detectives of the Honduras government, visited Dialogue's yard, and was told by the shipbuilder how he had-been visited by •the three foreigners, who were anxious to buy a vessel, as they said, for a fruiter. He said he had an iron hulled vessel there, which he offered to sell to them for C10,000. The name of the vessel is the Tbbasco. Consul Foster embodied a description of the vessel in his official report to the consul in New York, and has received further information, which may result in an important seizure within a few days. «. ** ' ;?n ll come far action." Mr.'Sirgont, of Sargent, Lord & Skillen*, said; "Our property has been taken, and we ikto bj protected." Hon. J. W. Deering: "It is a great outrage against the people, against the fisliing interest, ngains Englanl, against the United States. The property of my friend Sargent has been taken without cause. I congratulate you, gentlemen, for having come here to give expression to your feelings." Mr. Deering spoke of having called on 'Charles Levi Woodbury, in Boston, and of the importance that gentleman ottacae.l to the moral force of the people acting upon congress. For himself, Mr. Djcring said, he believed that tUe merchants an I business men should meet all over the country and give expression to their indignation. The Canadian government is clearly in ths wrong. He ■poke of the importance of the fishing interest.Thomai Manion and John Lyons, porters at the Southern, testified to handling Preller's baggage, and to Maxwell saying that the mysterious heavy trunk containing the body had some good stuff in it Manion was certain the corpse found in Maxwell's room was that of Preller, This point will M" the main obstacle that the state expects to meet, few witnesses caring to swear positively to the identity of the mass of putrid flesh found in the heavily corded trunk. William E. Warren, a retired manufacturer of Worcester, Masa, testified to witnessing the first meeting of the men on the Cephalonia, and to Maxwell'* apparent poverty after landing in Boston. The prlsdher told him he was a physician, and showed a case of surgical instruments during the voyage. He considered Maxwell a debauchee. Henry was in the Bohemian and Polish districts distributing the circular. Copies of it were found in the most Isolated localties.OFFICIAL POSTOFFICE PRINTING. The present contest in Georgia promises to be no exoeption to the rule. Gen. Gordon and Maj. Bacon, rival candidates for the governorship, are stumping the state together, the preliminary stages of usual routine have been passed, the lie has been insinuated, and the rivals, both being men of honor, whose courage is unquestioned, are anxiously regarded by their friends in anticipation of the usual end. The two men made their first joint appearance in Eatonton, where the chairman, Mr. Nesbit, in introducing Maj. Bacon, said that he had a right to run as often as he pleased. This reference to his numerous campaigns nettled the major, who declared that he had never seen such conduct among gentlemen.

Sargent on the First National Bank of New Haven, Conn. McManus entered the brokers' office and introduced himself as D. B. Sargent, of New Haven. Purchasing the bonds, he drew up a check and presented it in payment therefor. Becoming suspicious the brokers requested him to call later for the bonds, and they at onoe telegraphed to the New Haven bank. A reply was received stating that the bank had no account with D. B. Sargent, but did have with H. B. Sargent, who was good for any amount The mistake of the wouldbe swindler in the initial better thus defeated his purpose and led«o his arrest. At.

England is back of every, one of her citizens. Our country has not supported her own citizens in their mercantile pursuit* as England has supported hers. Now is the time for the United States to assart herself. Our vessels have been seized without cause. He wanted to see strong resolutions adopted. Maggie Cuddy and Kate Clark, chambermaids, related the story of the intimacy of the men; and Head waiter Allington said that on Sunday evening after the murder Maxwell came to the table so drunk thathe oould not eat He laid a roll of bills on the table and asked if a man killed another in this country if he could get off for (900. Allington also identified Preller's body. "Then," said Mr. Nesbit, "you are not used to the society of gentlemen." At Brooklyn—Brooklyn, 4; St Louis, 7.

"Whoso insinuate* it lies; whoso repeats it after hearing me to-day, that I ever resigned any public trust in peace or war, when my services would benefit my people or country, and when I was physically able to serve them, liesi" At Binghampton—Bingham pton. 0; Oswego, ft Ati Kansas City—Kansas City, 3; New York, 7.

It is unfair, unjust and absurd, and will be crushed by its own weight The very fishermen on the coast where the Doughty was seised are in trouble because they are not allowed to sell bait to Americans. They are in fact almost in rebellion. The feeling of indignation at the seizure of the Doughty has extended all over the country, and the end is not yet. Judge Fauntleroy said plainly that he washed his hands of all responsibility for Maxwell's fate, but would defend him just the same. Boston, May 3ft—The statue of Harriet Martineau, yhlch was unveiled in the Old South meeting house about three years ago, is to be given to Wellesly college by Uiae Whitney, the sculptor, in whose custody it was plaoed by Miss Mary Chapman, previous to her death In 1885.

After the adjournment of the oourt Assistant District Attorney Bishop told CoL Martin, of Maxwell's counsel, that a certain complaint made to the court by CoL Martin's partner was an unmanly whine. CoL Martin; re&ented this, and charged Mr. Bishop with attempting to influence the jury in the next room. A hot quarrel resulted, and CoL Martin intimated that Judge Fauntleroy could mop up the ground with Mr. Bishop, and would probably take an early opportunity of doing so. Friends interfered and stopped the quarrel in time to prevent blows.  The candidates met in Sparta, where Gen. Gordon repeated the charge that Maj. Bacon had left his place in the army, and then, referring to the charge that he (Gordon) had resigned from the senate under suspicious circumstances, said: "There was a time when I did not resign. There is a record that is unsullied, even In the estimation of the gentleman who has tried to blacken my name before you. It was made in a time that I didn't reeigp, for my country needed mo." Turning to Maj. Bacon, who was sitting beside him, Gen. Gordon said: "I will be elected and make you sicker than you were in 186a" ltlderless Horses With Bloody Saddles. Nooalbs, A. T., May 20.—Two sons of Capt Andrade were murdered by Apaches seven miles south of herb Three horses with bloody saddles ran into Planche de Platte. They had been ridden through town a few hours before by a courier, name unknown, and two men named Sullivan and Moore. All three are supposed to have been murdered by the Indians.

Capt La w ton is closely pursuing the Apache*, and expects to overtake them in the Huacomia mountains. Chicago, May 2ft—The strike of the molders and foundrymen has been formally declared off and the men advised to make the best terms possible with their employers. The men say they could have held oat a month longer if anything could have been gained by prolonging the strike. The furniture workers are breaking ranks and their strike may be considered over. A very few of the manufacturers who have urgent orders on hand have acceded to the terms of the strikers. The lumber yards have very generally resumed operations. The lumber shovers have taken no decided action, but large numbers have reported for ' duty and manufacturers say they are receiving more applications than they can consider. The Strike Coming to an End, Charles H. Fling made a vigorous speech. Mr. Fling believed that a little of the spirit of '76 is needed this time. O EL Whttten spoke of the general intereat felt here and in Gloucester. He believed that the merchan s on Commercial street ar* deeply interested. The loss of the Doughty is a serious matter. The Canadians resolved to seize our vessels without any pretext A vessel may not want bait, but may need mt-n. He believed that the government should demand the restoration of the Adams and the Doughty.. He believed the government is lukewarm. Mr. Whitten spoke of Capt Lewis, owner of the Adams, who said: "My grandchildren may get Something from the English government, I never shall.'' At this time, when Capt. Doughty is waiting at Portland to know whether his government win or not oome to bis assistance, a Canadian vessel is here for bait, while another has brought several barrets of mackerel on the market The Deputies Not Indicted.

These ilsher.es covered an area of twelve acres. It will take several years to put them back where they were when the accident occurred, though the work of repairing the dame D will be begun at once. About one-fifth of the fish in the ponds were saved, while some 2,000 have since been capl ired. Maj. Bacon replied under groat excitement He said: "Gen. Gordon has misstated in one particular. I studiously avoided calling him my friend, and sinoe he lent himself to my enemies to destroy me I absolve him from all friendship. I have been denounced by Gen. Gordon as using amhiguous language to imply what I would not affirm. I said, and I repeat in the no ambiguous terms, that Gen. Gordon abandoned his seat in the United States senate under circumstances not consistent with his duty. Has he told you why he left It a few weeks before an adjournment other than to say that he was a great general and I was only a commissary! Does he not attempt to produce, by insinuation, the impression among you that I resigned my place as adjutant of the Ninth Georgia regiment under circumstances that were discreditable to met If so, I say the man who says it or the man who Intimates it is guilty of falsehood. Even if it costs me my life I will hurl the falsehood in the teetyi of any man who affirms it Yet this man would stand before you and by base insinuation and baser charges produce the impression among you that I was false to my duty. If he chooses to hear me proclaim it utterly false let him continue to affirm, to insinuate it I shall stamp it a lie, though it cost me my life. There is nothing that I have said about Gen. Gordon that is not true, nothing I have said that he has refuted or that I have not prtfved by his own words. 1 say to you, my distinguished competitor, I will never say friend again " Conductors' Insurant*.

THURSDAY, MAY 27. Gen. Gordon—I hope not. Maj. Bacon—It does not lie in your mouth, you who placed sordid gold high above official duty, to talk about my neglect. It matters not whether I resigned the adjutancy and went into the commissary, or whether I had been in the commissary department from the first, if I did my whole duty wherever I was, and any man who says I did not, or says that I left my position in the army other than by the commands of the sjrorn surgeons of the regiment, lies.

Gordon's great strength lies with the veterans, and he never misses a chance to call ont the memories of the war. Naturally enough Maj.

Sectionalism, too, enters into the campaign. Macon has an inveterate hate towards Atlanta, and. .never fails to give expression to it Atlanta, on the contrary, while grasping for all that she can get, opens her doors, and is willing for all to come in. Thus, Gordon is more immediately backed by Atlanta and the country friendly to that city, while Bacon is backed by Macon and its satellities. Logan's Labor Bill.
