Bates, whose lumber and box mill was destroyed by fire a short time since, has been nego tiating with the syndidafe that purchased the Hubbard 4 Blake property with a view to buying out the same, and using it in the prosecution of his business. The price put upon it by the present owners is #'000, which is a mere fraction of the actual cost, and the only reservation is the right to sluice water when the same is needed bv the shofs below, a r ght which some lawyers claim they would have if nothing were said about it. Tears ago $10..'*00 was paid for the water privilege with an old mill upon it, which was torn down. Then the dam was put in order, a large amount of granite work done, four fine water wheels set, having at least 00 horsfc power in th* aggregate. A build ing erei ted l.'»0 feet long by 40 or .'*0 feet wide, and three stories high, another cover ing the same area and one story high These buildings are now in a good state of repair and the place would be an excel lent location for some extensive business. The price asked for all this property seems ridiculously low. but it is not wanted by those who bought it for the sole purpose of discontinuing the business carried on there. The res- nation which they make as a con dition to any trade, would not materially ini- rfere with the valu. A. Sargent; Clerk and Treas urer, W. II. Sargent; Directors, D. A. Sargent, II P. Sargent.

D., Jan. ‘J.—The breastworks on the northern, southern and southeast corner of the school ground have been extended, because it was dis covered that one of the plans of the hos tile*. with the assistance of al leged friendlies, was to attack the school. At a given signal the scholars w re to set upon and overpower the teachers. Then the work of destruction was to begin. Late this afternoon the Seventh cavalry moved from the bottom in which it had been sta tioned to the hill immediately east which commands a view of the Agency. Shortly after the change, three fires were noticed from the school l--use. It is thought the houses of “The Mexican," Young Man Afraid of His Horse, and Staniing Soldier were fired by the hoetiles. The matter is being investigated. Ile-Dog and Jack Red Cloud and about one hun dred others have returned to their camps. Still more promised l>ut failed to keep their word Gen. Miles says “At last accounts Indians were fighting among themselves. There is no head to the bostiles. The des peradoes arc destroying their own people."

It it* admitted by everybody here that the hostiles on White Clay Creek will not surrender without a fight. Turtle Mountain Indiana Begin War Dancea. WiswirF.o, Man., Jan. 9.—The sheriff of Bettineau, N 1) telegraphed the com mander of the detachment of mounted police of Manitoba that Indians on the Turtle Mountain reservation, on the Cana dian side of the line,have began war dances, will have to be looked after immediately if the lives and property of set'lers in the ad journing district in North Dakota are to be protected. He calls upon the Canadian authorities to take immediate steps, and a detachment of police was ordered to the reserve. The reserve is a small one and the Indians upon it are American Sioux. A False Alarm. Pocatello, Idaho, Jan. 9.-— Reports of serious trouble or fears of an outbreak among the Indians on the Fort Hall reser vation surrounding this place, are utterly without foundation. A visit to the Black Feet on the edge of the reservation and at the agency itself fails to reveal any just caua° for apprehension. While the Indians have been dincmg, these demonstrations partake of the same character as those they hold c'. ery y«,ar at this time. Idaho Militia all Under Arms. I)em i k, Col., Jan. —A special from Sioux b alls, says that the Indians are danc ing in this vicinity are becoming more threatening.

He says the violation of the Indian treaty of of WO is the real cause of the trouble. He knows personally that in many cases the Indians did lack food and did not re ceive the rations to which they were en entitled.

Senator Prje's Bill on Ownership and Registry of Shipping 1 _ Dlaaatlafacttoo with Oar Bailed Car” Sarwlca with Caoada. Washivgtow, Jan. 9.— The Finance Bill was taken up in the Senate, and Black burn addressed the Senate in advocacy of Stewart's amendment for the free coinsge of silver. It was the silver mine within the limits of the gTeat commonwealth of Kentucky, and yet he ventured to asser that her people were as united, earnest, honest and clamorous in demand for free coinage of silver as the people of Colorado, California. Idaho and Nevada. Blackburn said he had no objection to the fourth sec tion of the bill, and as far as provided for the addition at $200 OK).000 to the circulation; but he joined in the protest of Stewart that it was a device on the part of the finance committee look ing to the perpetuation of the banking sys tem already doomed. He objected to the bill of the finance committee, because it i fell short of the demands of the people and failed to give a just or full measure of re lief. The opponents of free coinage might rely on the veto power of the President When the amendment passed the Senate an l House and the bill went to the Presi dent, he dared1 not put his veto upon it un less he was already prepared to sign the death warrant of a party already doomed. Morgan said he would not have attemp ted to make further suggestions, if it were not that he considered it the present oppor tune rime for congress to come to the relief of the country. It it is not worthy of Ameri can people, he said, at this stage of their progress, why should they any longer de cline to base their financial policy on their own unfailing industries, not only unfail ing, but actively and enormously increas ing. In speaking of the product of Ameri can mines in gold and silver #800,000.000 in ten years) Morgan asked what other government in the world could point to a better security for the redemption of its promises. puDiic or private. Gould tier many promise herself such a result from her mines'/ Not a tith of it. Could France? Not at all. Could England, from all her vast possessions Not ny any means. It might be assumed that $800 000,000 (and probably $1,000,000,000) would be taken from the American nines in ten years. An issue of one, two or three dollars to one dollar of gold Oi silver would be an abso lutely safe calculation; with it would be establish-d a policy for this country, safe and immutable as the flow of water in the Mississippi river, which might be calcula ted without failure. Then there would bean established policy which (if utilized and empto>ed in the developing of magnificent resources of the iu.it.ry, its industries and its commerce) would make the United StAtes master of the world on the question of finance. In view of that fact, why should senators be trembling and fearful, almost in a state of panic, least, if the country sought to use its silver and avail iiself of its natural advantages, some men might conclude that the government of the United S ates was becoming slack in its ideas of honor, honesty and credit The policv of fear and apprehension was not becoming to a people who had gjt their feet planted by God on the rook of safety. There was no need to doubt the future when the present was so assured and the past so fruitful from the mining industry of the country. Yet that was what ali the senators were confronted with. Morgan yielded the lloor without con cluding his speech, and the bill was laid aside. The Senate bill creating the office of fourth assistant postmaster general was re ported and i heed on the calendar. The Senate went into executive session, and at 5 adjourned. In the House. The House went into committee of the whole on private calendar. The first bill on the ealendar was one referring to the Court of Claims, a claim of the Citizens’ Bank of Louisiana, growing out of the seizure and covering into the Urdted S’ates treasury of certain monpys of the bank by General B. F. Butler. The amount involved $215,000. The meas ure gave rise to a long discussion, advoca ted by Blanchard and Boatner of Louisian n», opposed by Thomas of Wisconsin and Grosvenor of Ohio. After further debate Thomas moved to strike out the enacting clause. Lost The hour of five having arrived, the bill went ovr r. the committee rose and the House took a recess until H. At the evening session the House passed sixty private pension bills, including the one granting a pension of $30 a month to the widow of Gen. Puryee. Dissatisfied with "Sealed Cat” Bar vice with Canada. The joint examination recently made by the Suite and Treasury department* into the methods and accounts of the United States consulates in Canada in connection with Canadian export and transit trade to this country, was ex'ended by the Treasury Department to the system of introducing merchandise from Canada into the United States in sealed cars without cus toms inspection at the frontier. Secre tary Windon said "The conclusion reached by me is that the system as now regulated and practiced cannot be reconciled with the revenue interests of the government, and this conclusion Is supported by farts collected by agents of the department showing that in a number of specific Cases, merchandise imported in sealed cart never reached its destination. Under the existing law ard regulations the United States con sular officers in Canada are authorized to seal cars containing merchan dise destined for the United States. On arrival at the frontier port, a containing such merchandise is exempted from exam ina'ion if seals are found intact, and the ear pro* 3eds to its destination. Invesiga- j tion d scloses the fact that this system is subject to grave abuses, and the security of 1 revenue is seriously imperilled. I am d s sariefied with the existing condition of this branch of the business of the treasury de partment, and Apprehensive that revenues have greatly stiff--red It is my purpor. to speedily introduce radical changes and im provements into its administration.” Senator Fry*• Bill on Ownership and Regfatry of Vssasla. Senator Frye today introduced a biil to amend the revised statutes so that it may be lawful for all citizen# of the United >rates engaged in foreign trade and rpsidirg abroad to own vessels built in the Unite 1 States and have them registered as vessels of the United States It mav also be law ful for citizens of foreign countries con nected in business with citizens of this country owning vessels in foreign tr»de to own in each such vessels not exceeding a quatt^r share. In all case*of owner*bip. the active management in the United States must be devolved upon the home owner. Senator Frve introduced another bill to amend the bill relating to bonds^for marine documents to provide that no bond be re quired as a basis for the issue of such doc uments to any vessel in the United States: conditions to be observed a* heretofore i under a penalty of $500 in ea'h caae. An 1 other bill was introduced by Frye to regu i late the right# and privileges of pleasure vessels and vachta of foreign build and ownership, and provide# that suah vessels 1 remaining in this country longer than six mcnths shall become rabject to dutiea at the rate of $20 per groas ton. and if navi gated here to tonnage tax. $1 per ton at every port at which they arrive.

[Portland Kxprm.] Governor Burleigh's second inaugural ad dress delivered yesterday treats of the im portent measures that are to be considered by the legislature this winter, and reviews the work of the various State department* during the past two years. The sublet of taxation he discussed quite thoroughly, and his recommendation that the legislature provide for the appointment of a Stale board of overseers, whose duty it shall be to exercise a central supervision over our tax system, and to equalise the vain-, ation of the State biennially, in order that the taxes voted by each legislature shall be assessed upon a new valuation, is in perfect accord with the recommendation of the tax commission. His recommenda tion that an amendment to the State con stitution be submitted, making the adju tant general an executive appointment, is perfectly proper an I for the beat interest* of the Sta e The message is a straight forward businesslike document and his treatment of the varioua matters of public interest able anl comprehensive The Governor in treating of the prohibi tory law ser*ihly declares that while prohibition is heart it v supported by the people, a* the September election clearly demonstrated, yet “there still re mains much to be done in so educating public sentiment that it shall everywhere insist upon the faithful enforcement of the law.*’ His reference to the industrial progress of Maine dui ing the past two year* is gratifying and encouraging. Auburn Gaiettu.] Gov. Burleigh's message is a creditable state paper that deals with the different de partments of Maine affairs with business like correctness and good sense. Much of this magisterial review of the various de partments of our State government and in stitutions is necessarily of a routine nature, allowing small opportunity for originality of statement or breadth of view. But what the Governor has to say and recommend or. these points is. on the whole, sound and well advised. The Governor makes one strong point in his message that ia worth all the rest put together, for it is a slop in advance and points the way to a great re form. His endorsement of lha Australian ballot is genuinely thorough and emphatic, and cannot fail to havq a marked influence in bringing about its adoption. “I am firmly convinced that the time has come for Maine to adopt the Australian system of voting.” says the Governor In this dec laration Gov. BurUigh accurately reflects the sentiment of the great majority of tin people of Maine, regardless of party, and he deserves credit for the hold and unequi vocal terms in which that declaration is made. Hath Times. The financial showing made in the Gov ernor’s address is one in which the people of the State may well take pride.

Of courae thia ttatemect cannot be backed up by atatiatic. but knowing that nearly all of ibeae boy. come to the reboot with inheri ted aa well a. trained de.ire. for eril aod wrong-doing, many of them bomelee*. from i of ice and iniquity, 1 feel that I bare not oremtimated the probable reeulu bad it not been for the good work doer at the Reform School. It la an old oyiug that -the moat .eretr critic, are tbo.e it,at know tne lea-t of ihe atfbject critic,aed." In the bu.tie and tur ry of onr age, many good people cannot gire time to the Reform School, becauae they tealize they do not derote aa much time a. they ought to their own boya Vet I plead whL you. fuller, and mothen Bo,l time to keep vour boya frooi the Reform School and dor-’t forget the bor. who ha-.. gone there, many of them from lack of auit.ble home influence., more .inaed egein.t tfian .inning. Abou- all thing, do not condemn and m.erelv rriti cite that or whi h you know to little. If you AOnot help do not retard the good work Th« trustee*j and oft-era doaire o make as many friends for the school as possible and for that purpose they most cordially invite ail persons, interested or not. to make it a visit. Past experience bos taught that the more visitors they have the more friends they make, because upon investigation the work commends itself even to the most p*edjud»ced mind. It is only thirty minutes' ride from the Lnion station io Portland and two or three hours’ time visiting the school will remove many wrong impressions ami make you an active friend instead of an ignorant critic. When the school shall have been en dowed by some wealthy philanthrope per •ou, its name changed to that of the donor as was done iotbe Lyman 8chool for Boys in Massachusetts, cottages can be erected at small expense that will accommodate not over twenty or twenty five boys, suitable men and their wives can be found, who with a love for the work will make real homes, something that many of the boys never knew, the different lijmes to be under a general superintendent and truste as now then we may see on ideal reform school, then we shall see a still larger number saved, and read in the daily papers less frequently the start ling headlines, Another Reform School boy gone to prison. But for this the State car.not afford ti wait the necessities are now. Our legislators, while wrestling with the ail absorbing question of 'fqual:/.»iioo of taxation, muse not forget to carefully inform themselves of the needs and actual necessities of the city reformatory institu tion in the State which does so materially help to reduce in* taxes by reducing the number of criminals. I boldly hazard the statement tha* for every dollar appropritted for the school, ten has bpen saved to the tax-payers of the State. It would seem un necessary to appeal to the legislature of Maine from any other standpoint than thatot philanthropy f or a larg? appropriation forso worth a cause. Large sums have been de servedly given to other institutions, notone of which can show such a record for econo my and beneficial results. Senators and representatives, increase your appropria tion for the Keform School, because it really needs it. became it will give you a greater return for your money than any other institution .n the State, and because its record for evmomy and judicious ex peuditures is unexcelled by any public in stitutioo in New l. iglaod. In concluding Mr. Allen says I urge the different church organizations throughout the '',.at“ to organi/" ommittees who will assist :n finding homes for those boys who abac have earned their dis charge. In conclusion I urge every supremo, su perior and municipal judge to carefully study the reform a ffiool report fur IHffo and as far s* possible acquaint thetnsetves with the institution to whom ttiey are obliged to s.-nd so many young offenders I also wish that every mem ber of the Sixty-fifth Legislature would visit the Keform School this winter and without prejudice study the methods and needs. I am confident if they do that they will vote for a Urge appropriation and ever remain frierds of the school. I wish to thank all with whom it lus been my privil ege to be a-s :ated in Keform S ho >1 work for their uniform courtesy Respectfully submitted for the commit tee.
