In view of the enormity of the crime committed by said Tom Jones alias Frank Hill, we think they wpuld have been recreant to their ditty as good citizens had ther acted otherwise. (Signed) John II.

Whatever any man may have thought of the substance of the president's speech no one who had ever heard the man peak in public before could but be astonished at the tremendnous force which he gave his address in Its utter ance. He spoke for forty mrnutes. "It Is literaily true that he ha,i the Aten tion of his audience to every syllable. Time and agnrn when there were out bursts of applause as there were more and mwe and oft on toward the end, he stopped them short by merely raising his finger. Every eye was on him every sec ond. His voice rang with a tree of as surance that is altogether new to it in public s7eaking. He talked as though to a circle of men of his own high at tainments atri intelligence at a dinner table. He yeemed never to pause for a word or for the shnpiixg of a thought. When he finished, the audience under the beautifully modelled roof of the great rectangular dome, rose to its feet and cheered and waved handkerchiefs and hats until the president had passed off the platform. From Xahant the president drave to Lynn. There was by no means the crowd along the four miles stretch of road that there had been Sunday, but in Lynn itself there was a most impres sive demonstration of enthusiasm. The sidewalks were packed and the factory windows were packed. The roofs were black with spectators who howied and yelled themselves into hysterics. The tWice had great difficulty in "keeping back the crowd about the ,city hall, where the president was to speak. There were at least twenty thousand people in the open space in front of the city hall. Still accompanied by -Senator Lodge and Secretary Moody, who had been a guest with him over night at Senator Lodge's home. Eastpofcnt, over Sunday, the pres ident returned to his train and was taken at once to Boston, where he was met by Governor Crane? XIayor Collins and the governor's staff. The president was the guest at a banquet in the hotel Tour alne at which Governor Crane, Senator Lodge, Senator Hoar, Secretary Moody, XIayor CoUms and the twelve Massa chusetts Congressmen wwe hosts, The objects and technical Information to be obtained by the operations, both for the army and yhe navy, are set forth in the printed instructions.

A news agency re porter declares that Liverpool has been chosen as the chief center ia Engkrnd for the trans-Atlantic combine.! The headquarters will be in the offices of the White Star line with Jfr. Wilding of the Leyfcind line as general manager. There will be a concentration of the present offices and the various staffs. It i well known that after a certain speed In ocean liners every additional knot involves enormous coal consump tion and shakes the steamer so severely that the necessity of frequent repairs is increased. For this reason, according to the dispatch referred to, the Xlorgau syndicate baa decided to reduce the si;ed for the fast trans-Atlantic pas- tenser boats to a' more moderate and more uniform rate of speed. It is ex pected that, this will result in a saving of nearly 50 per cent as compared with the present figures. The Germ am lines it is reported have agreed to this. It is believed that the arrangements bj which the Cnnard line will receive increased subsidy from the government on the conditions remains altogether British have been completed.
