Drafting; a Registry Law.
. W. Bingnam of Portland, who took
the lead in drafting the Australian bal
lot law now in force, in this state, has
finished the draft of a bill for a registra
tion law. It is caraful, minute and
comprehensive, and is drawn with the
double purpose of preventing fraudulent
voting and of avoiding any conflict with
the constitution.
The bill propoees to make it the duty
of every elector in the state to register
with the clerk of the county, in which he
resides between the first Monday of Jan
nary, 1898, and 5 o'clock p. in., of the
fifteenth day of May, 1898, and between
the same dates and hours biennially
thereafter. "
Every elector may be registered with
out charge by personally appearing at
the office cf the county clerk. The
elector must be sworn, and his name
must be entered in the general county
register, with date of registration, the
age of the elector, his business or occu
pation, bis actual and precise place
of residence the country of his nativity,
and, if naturalized, the time, place and
court of naturalization. Other minor
details are prescribed for such persons
as are not the heads or proprietors of
the houses where they live.

Mr. Silas Osborne backed his political
belief with a wager in the sum of $20,
that McKinley would not carry this
state by more than 2,000 majority, and
I the money was placed in the hands of
city. Mr. Harlan is a bright newspaper . , .. ., rr- i j-j .

carry the state by 2,000, but by only

dispute, refuses to turn the money over,
and so Osborne brings suit to have his
$20 returned to him. '
MACEO'S CAREER.
Brave and Brilliant Officer and
Thorough Patriot.
Antonio Maceo was, without question,
the most brilliant figure of the present
revolution in Cnba. He effected a land
ing at Certe de Barancoa on March Slet.
With him were Flor Crombet and a
number of persons. Maceo bad been a
member of General Gomez' staff during
the ten years' war, from 1868 to 1878,
and 'commanded large bodies of troops
in the province of Santiago de Cuba, in
which province bis family had lived,
and where he owned a large plantation.
After the ten years' war Maceo traveled
in Central America, attempting to raise
a large force to invade- Cuba, and con
test tha sovereignty of Spain.
In 1886 be went to Hayti to try to get
assistance for an invasion of Cuba, but
he was driven out, and lived for a long
time in retirement in Jamaica, and after
that he reurned to Cuba and lived very
quietly n his plantation in tbe eastern
province, where he was very popular.
In 1890 be was driven out of Cuba and
went to New York. At the time of tbe
present outbreak he was in Florida, and
he joined a large expedition which Bet
out from Fort Li Dion in 1892 on tbe
steamer Adirondack. A Spanish man-of-war
pursued the steamer for eight
hours, and at last tke leaders were com
pelled to land on Fortune island,' one of
the West Indies. Thence Maceo and
the other leaders made their way to
Cuba. On the great raid across tbe isl
and in 1895 Maceo was Gomez' chief
coadjutor, and . when Captain-General
Campos had finally receded with his
headquarters to Havana, Maceo led a
daring raid into the fertile province of
Pinar del Bio, where he devastated the
great tobacco district and raised the
whole province in revolt against Spain.
There he has been ever since, with the
Spanish authority in the province prac
tically overturned.-'
Time and again reports have been re
ceived from Cuba of his death in action
or his suicide, always to 'be refuted by
his later activity.
- There is no doubt that many people
will doubt the authenticity of tbe report
now received of his death, though no
previous report has given such exact de
tails of the circumstances of his death
and the fact of identification.
