Washington, March 9,—That th> ad ministration has decided t■» dissemble no longer its reasons for the sudden and unprecedented movement of troops to the Mexican border, is indicated by the following dispatch, received tonight from the staff correspondent of The Associated l’ress. who is accompanying President Taft on his journey to At lanta. The dispatch, dated Charlottes ville, Ya., through which place the President's train passed tonight at T.lo is us'follows: All doubt as to the purpose of the government in sending I’tl.ooo tio.>[ s to the Mexican border has at last been swept away. The United Stab s lias determined that the revolution in tie republic to the south must end. The American troops have been s--nt P form a solid military wall along tie Rio Grande to stop filibustering and to see that there is no further smug gling of arms and men across the in ternational boundary. It is believed that with tlii- source of contraband supplies cut off the insurrectional'.' movement, which has disturbed condi tions generally for nearly a year with out accomplishing anything like tie formation of a responsible independent government, will spe. dip. i..mo to a President Tai'l, on his w. to At lanta and Augusta for a lu-bays vaca tion. left here at o'clock tonight. He appeared well satisfied with r*v situation. There is a general belief that the rapid movement of troops in t" Texas and southern idalifornia will so speedily accomplish its purpose that the net results will constitute lessons in instantaneous mobilisation of an i f feetive lighting force, a revelation I" the country at large and to tin- critic of the army in particular and a justi fication of the diplomatically worded explanations- which have be n given out from official sources in Washing ton. There no longer is reason to doubt that the suddfn action on tic part of the Anvrican government was the result either of unofficial representa tions by foreign governments regard ing the situation in Mexico or the in timation Hint several of tile I'urope, n powers were sounding each other as to tiie desirability of making repre sentations to the United states- at an early date. At any rate tile matter reached the administration in such a way as to call for the most decisive sort of action. The Washington government unex pectedly found itself confronted by tin necessity of placing an armj along the border line of Mexico to stop tin revolutionists’ source of supply, and to tn in a position to invadi Mexico at a moment's notice in tin event of the deatli of President Dia/. or any other untoward circumstances which might precipitate general fighting or rioting. It was represented at the state de partment that the United States mils, act and act quickly if the Monroe doctrine was to be maintained. For eign interests in Mexico naturallj look to the United States for protoe lion unuer mai uoctnne. The tor eign interests in tin Uepublie uiv not. however, to bo compared with tin ■American capital invested there, so that after all. the step to bring about mart tranquil conditions in Mexico has to do principally with Americans and American interests. Just what part the Diaz government has played in recent events lias not yet been disclosed. The Mexican gov ernment, whether it asked help of this government or not, has been given the greatest assistance it could possibly have desired. The otileial not from Washington made public in Mexico City last night assuring Gen. Diaz tha* there was nothing in the move ment of troops that should cause un easiness on the part of the Mexican government was more than justified by the admission made today. There is no telling at present how long the big army sent ot hte Mexican irontier will have to remain there. It will not lie withdrawn until the revo lution has been crushed out and until conditions in Mexico are much more stable than they now are believed to lie. Tlie situation in I.ower California is said to have caused more concern to the United States than that at any other point. It was reported that the revolutionists wire exceptionally strong there and threatened to set up (Continued on Page Twelve.) TO THE FRONT.

Boy Carrying Rjile Refuses To Answer Questions, Neighbors Find Die Mother and Sister Dead in Vermont Home, Developments in Mysterious Case Are Eagerly Awaited. Maidstone, Vt., Mdreh 9.—Witli .a rilie sling ov, i- liis shoulder, Arthur Bonn, an 1'■-year-old youth, entered the home of a neighbor here late to day and calmly said that his mother, Mrs. charge Hean and his sister. .Miss .Nina lioan, liad been slmt and killed. At Bean's home tin neighbors found both women dead with -tveral bul ii t wounds in aeh body. When i.nes tior.i ,1 young Ili an refused lo say any thing ahum ila double tragedy.

The neighbors who entered the Hean home almost stumbled over the body of Miss Nina, lying in’a pool of blood "f tii,. front hall. Mrs. Ilian’s body was found in a chamber on tin- ui• per floor of the house. There were bullet wounds in both bodies. A phy sician who was hurriedly summoned said that both the mother and the daughter had been dead for a consid erable time. Voting Ilian had followed the neigh bors hack to his home. When they were convinced that the two women were dead, tin y questioned him as to what he knew about the affair, but the buy had no answer. He was searched and a box of cartridges, partly full, was found in one of the pockets of his coat. I'pon tin- arrival of Sheriff Richard Beattie of Kssex county, young Bean was placed under arrest at his home and taken to the county jail at Ouild liall. about liv, miles from here. The young man made no resistance, and. so far as known, he lias made n i statement concerning the shooting, the cause of which is not known. The only account of the crime lias come fr, a Bean's grandfather. The aged man said tonight that dur ing tin day his grandson came into tin house and made him get into a closet and close ilte -ieor. with the command to stay there if he did not want to get hurt. A few minutes later the old man said, he heard shots. Mrs. Bean had been shot in tile head II is thought tluu lie was tiie nrst victim and that when Nina, tin- daugh ter. tushed to her mother's assistance, on 'nearing- the sound of a dispute, site was si lot ns sin- was about to run up stairs.

MILLIKEN MAKES FINAL PLEA AGAINST THE ALLEGASH BILL The House Undoes I sWork of Wednesday and Everything That Smells of Money Is Put Over to Wednes day of Next Week, The Portland Argus of Thursday morning published a statement that one of the causes of the unusual backward ness of legislation is the failure of the legislative printers to keep ii]) with the work. The Argus was misinformed. The Journal desires to state in the most emphatic way that such a report is entirely false. At no time during the pres ent session has there been a day's or an hour's delay for. which the printers were responsible. In fact, thus far, there has been no time when the printers could not have easily handled more legislative work than has been sent to them. Many times during the present session the printers have been called up on the telephone and asked for particular bills or resolves when the copy for the matters inquired about had not even reached them. It is obvious that the printers can not do their work until the copy i- placed in their hands, and whatever delays have occurred in the printing thus far, have been due to this 1 cause and none other.

Representative Otis of Rockland argued before tin- committee in executive ses sion in favor of giving Rockland two representatives as formerly but no de cision was made by the committee up on the matter. Tin- apportionments for the other counties remain upon tin table and will probahlx be decided some time next week. No decision was reached upon the matter of congressional apportionment but it is generally believed that In tore the adjournment of this session the apportionment committee will make a congressional apportionment for the State upon tile basis of lour represi n tutivos and take a chance upon con gress linally deciding to give .Maine that number. The matter of Congressional appor tionment and tin’ question of the Pis cataquis county classification were considered by the apportionment com mittee in open session Thursday eve ning. lion. Fred Finery Beane, chair man of the Democratic State commit tee, appeared before tie committee in tile matter of Congressional apportion ment and Senator Sanborn of Piscata quis county was present to ask for a continuance of the old Piscataquis county apportionment. The present plan places Dover and Foxomft in separate classes, while i Mr Manter of the committee proposed I a change of the classification so that j Dov r, Foxoroft, Atkinson and Sebee would be placed in a class together.

C., March 9.—(Spe cial)—Although the adjournment of Congress is rapidly becoming a mat ter in retrospect, most of the old Maine delegation in Senate and House tarry in town and will tarry lor some days to come. Ex-Senator llale is still here, winding up his affairs and also getting around to some work on the National monetary commission, ot which he continues a member. There is abundant opportunity for work on that commission which is shaping a task of national importance in com prehensive investigations of banking and currency matters and in formu lating recommendations for legislation some day by Congress. Senator Frye is also here and prob ably will remain here through the month of March and till Congress re sumes in extra session. He did not wish to brave the change of climate. that a journey to Maine at this time of year would entail. He will not at tempt much work for the present but is passing his time leisurely at the Hamilton hotel, with an occasional visit to his offices at the Capitol. The reorganization of the Senate will not change his committee assignments in any material way. He will continue as chairman of the commerce com mittee. which gives him a very de sirable office on the gallery floor and in close proximity to the Senate. Incidentally, in that connection, ex Senator Hale will probably retain the old committee room, which he held for many years. It has two rooms in the southeast, upper, corner of the Senate wing. For a long time the outer room was the room of the commltte on naval affairs. When he became chairman of appropriations with large quarters, just adjoining the Senate chamber, Mr. Hale did not want to give up his cosy corner on the gallery iloor. where he had kept his ollice for a decade and more. Other senators had envious eyes upon the corner hut it did not avail them anything. Mr. Hale kept his corner rooms. As soon as Congress adjourned Sen ator lodge of Massachusetts promptly tiled on” those rooms and would take his Philippines committee there. Tie found that ex-Senator Hale was still hanging on and did not propose to yield possession. The rules com mittee of the Senate assigns rooms to members of the National monetary commission, who have ceased to be members of the Senate and apparent ly tile members of the rules commit 1 tee are disposed not to disturb ex I Senator Hale or insist upon his mov i ing out. Ex-Representative Burleigh is also tarrying in Washington. When Con gr> ss adjourned he still had a lot of errands to dispose of and thought it better to close up all his work before lie left Washington. He has been 1 visiting the departments this week. 1 oking after matters that eonstltu ents had written him about before the I end of the session. He Is also pack ing up his effects leisurely and vacat ing his offices in the big House build ing on Capitol llill. Ex-Representa i tive Swasey has already vacated his ollice, said good-bye to his friends and quit liis official duties, i Representative Asher C. Hinds of Portland, is the only member of the i new Maine delegation in the House. 1 now on the ground. It is doubtful if i lie returns to Maine during the month. He lias moved gut of the ante-room to the Speaker's office, where he had a mahogany desk in a sunny corner, thrown away a big collection of papers and documents and gotten a room on the fourth floor of the House office building along with other members of tlie incoming Congress. He felt some regrets at leaving the post, where h had served for lti years and where he had always gotten along vary pleas j antly. His personal relations w ith Mr. Cannon, who has b-eii Speaker for eight years, and with Mr. L- Whitt Busbey, the Speaker's secretary, had j always been of a very pleasant char acter. There had never been an un kind word between an>p of these throe men in the course of their associations —a very exceptional procedure. And yet Mr. Minus was v rv giuu ru be free to take up his work as a representative in Congress. It is somewhat in arrears because of th illness and death of Mr. Allen shortly before the session ended. Numerous letters from constituents in the first district had been turned over f> him and others came directly to him in the last days of the session, when he was occupied all the time with his press ing duties as House parliamentarian. He is now answering these letters and ntt' tiding to the errands that they en tail. During the month he hopes to get a little rest, his work during the recent session having been very ex acting. I The Democratic members of the House fear Representative Hinds be ■ause of his knowledge of parlia mentary law and House precedents He does not propose, however, to make himself obnoxious to those who have kr»nvo hint ms tv years as u House employe, but will observe a modest program and bide the proper time for participating in the House proceed ings.

THE MAGNETIC ISLAND. The Fabled Lodwtone-Land Which Wrecked the Ship, of Old Mariner*. Modern science, which has mor« V s 1,11 °r than fl“* imaging. mu dW„B tn and l" ,'iy r ,1,acVal Hllpcrstltlom 11 Ims the chance apple.s of the Hesperides become tnges, Atlantis and Saint Rrandan's hushed across tiie ocean, and •i u.uur ii explanation Is given for th. magnetic mountain in the middle o( the sea. That mass of lodestone was the terror of mariners on the tin. knmn ocean, for when a ship came wt itin range of it is was drawn on mi over, nail and rivet licw out o! t and the planks fell apart. Th. s,’"'v told in the “Arabian Nights'1 was Known throughout Europe long hetore tin. tales were translated, and ..united for many a ship that was neve r h*\*ird of Ajfairi. With the compass In mind scientific men have suggested that the legend may have arisen In the magnetic vari ations common in high latitudes, "huh are all tabulated now for navi gators who have to reckon with them. The seaman who returned home after his compass had misbehaved would boast oi having escaped in time from tie- magnetic mountain, and impute to it the loss of ships that did not come back. A conjecture is not s« satisfactory as the specific identifica tion of a possible place. It Is pleasant, therefore, to find an ingenious Oer mau advancing the hypothesis that Spitsbergen may be the mythical is land. ’"Iiat long neglected northern Islo Im.s attracted much attention of late years. The archipelago was once, a shopping place for whalers and Arctic explorers. It became the starting point from which Andrec sailed, and Umaii did not sail, for the North i'oh If lias come to be a resort for those preparing for more arduous ex plorations. for adventurous yachts men, for scientific men dealring a cool summer for their investigations. It offers s new field for Alpine climb ers. and since coal and minerals have lte. n found on it, bus been a bone of com. tit Ion for Scandinavian diplo mat This lias brought also an ef fort to re-establish fishing stations on the islands. Tin main land of Spitsbergen Itself has been traversed recently, a teat of great difficulty owing to the Ice and mountains, and information has been obtained regarding the geology of tho interior. The volcanic looks which, in the form of diabase, cover a good deal of the space, proved to be mag netic in strange ways. In some pieces tiie north pole is the surface and the smith the inside; in other the direc tion is reversed and the supposition is that the lock was magnetized at the time of the eruption. The scientific men are puzzling over these eccen tricities which they cannot explain, but they hope to derive from them information about magnetic condi tions in the past. The met. however, is that Spltztiergen contains great masses of magnetic rook, which, com bined with the variation of the mag netic pile, not so far away, must make the compass of little us*' in the adjacent waters. One magnetic island can be shown, if It is remote from tho seas known to sinbad and the Arabian sailors, and if it is less potent of harm than tit. mediaeval spinners ot yarns made it out to be.—X.

Pittsfield, Mass. uresl ol Former Dratl Clerk at the Third National Bank. Shortage Placed at SI436 is Coy ered by Friends and Relatives. Pittsfield, Mass.. March Ab stracting funds from a national bank ing association" was the luirge up on which Arthur Kdv.ard Feeley, un til recently draft Clerk at tile Third National Bank of Pittsfield, was ar rested today upon a warrant issued at the request of National Hank fix amint r Smith ol Huston, The war rant was issued yesterday by United •States Commissioner JJayes of Bos ton md was served today by Deputy United States Marshal Etlward J. Ley dop of Springfield. When brought be for United States Commissioner Ar thur H. Wood in this city, Feeley entered a plea of not guilty and was held in hail for a continued hear ing on tie- forenoon of Wednesday. March 15. Bail was furnished by Ar thur X. Cooley. Announcement that a shortage in the funds of the bank had b**en dis covered was made yesterday by offi cials of the hank who also said that Feel* y had made a confession to them and had promised to make restitution. Last night the hank was given by relatives and friend, of Feeley a sum sufficient to cover the estimated amount of th.* shortage. When the examination of the bank's books had bee., completed this afternoon it was am*, unced that the exact amount of tie* dv rtage was $l45t>. In the com plaint against Feeley, Hank Examiner Smith places tlie amount al $2000. Fech-y, who is 20 years old. entered the i-i ipioy of the bank six years ago after having pursued a two year course of study at tiie Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, Boston. Feeley’s salary as bank draft clerk was small, and in order to increase his income lie kept the hooks of Edward I.arkin. a local tailor. On Feb. 15, Feeley was married to Miss George* Xellie \Vomble, and according to the offi cials of tlie bank, lie went on a wed ding trip without notifying his em ployers that he intended to be absent from business When he returned he was discharg ed. A little later, it is alleged, Mr. Lar kin had the bank balance his account, when it was discovered that there was a shortage of $30u in Mr. Larkin’s de posits. The matter was brought to the attention of th** chief of police, but be fore any formal complaint against Feeley bad been made, friends of the young man made restitution to Mr. Larkin. I In response to requests from the bank officials, Feeley appeared at th* institution yesterday, when it is al leged. he confessed to having abstract ed funus and manipulated accounts for nis wn benefit■ He offered ti I T- f mach.nt w l»i« k j i. the* thoughts r. i'f-- wo'iw oi world pr,-..«> f‘t inventpi U* m y:'i* fijOUyhl to a !»i;'11 s*t;r "t c Or-ir rant-iormed.’ Both are interesting, both arc free.

A. 1! 1!., upon a hearing on another matter, had the cashier! of tie- road present and when the chJirge was made that the con struction company was profiting, as 1 have [indicated, and he failed to put that eAshier upon the stand, as lie had been etxpected to do. in- confessed then and tli|i re tliat th charge had trutti in it. Mr. ^Prcsiih nl ami gentli men, I am not going to repeat any part of that argument, hut the people of tin State of Maine hive a right to know sonv things, that have been done here in this lobby (in regard to this hill. Members of the, Senate have been influenced by arguments that had nothing to do with tilie merits of the question itself. I do njot mean to criticise the commit tee or,'any member of the Senate or to impugn his motives. The principal reason, that 1 have lor saying a word at this* time is that I have learned since flic argument was made the other day, that a statement has been made by counsel and lobbyists for the 15. Mr A. It. ft. that demands some answer front me. i understand it has been said by them that 1 had a personal in terest in trying to prevent the con struelioti of the so called Allagash ex tension on account of sonic possible competition of prospective lumber mills in that region. That charge is a serious one, for agree wholly with that great Democrat who said A pub lic office is a public trust," and I be-] lieve absolutely that any man who uses 1 his position as a public official to lur-j tiler his private interests is just as truly a traitor to his country as is the] man who betrays his country on tlie Held of buttle. That charge is so absurd tbi t it did not occur to me that it could lie made. As bmg as it lias la on made by counsel and to members of this Senate, 1 say here that it is not only untrue, but the fact is. so far as my personal interests are concerned, they are absolutely in the other direction and for this ex tension. 1 wish to say to you further that If any lobbyist f“r the H. k A. K. H seid to any member of the Senate or to anyone else —any lobbyist per sonally acquainted with me—that I was actuated by personal motives, he know s he said what was untrue, and it was for i he purpose of deceiving you. I want to say further that this lobby has ta t been as fair in this matter as 1 have tried to lie with them. I hid a perfect right to present this ainenu nrent in the Senate without notice to them, and to argue it. and t ask lot its adoption. 1 cave them ample no tice ami time to do what i knew they would do. use every possible influence on members of this Senate. i know what it wo rms when members are call 'd out to the telephone when tin Sen ate ‘s in session and matters me un der discussion. 1 knew v\hat it meant tile oth'-r day: it meant that failing in all other ways to secure a hold upon certain members, the lobby were re sorting to having certain constituents cull up these S' nators and a.-K them vote against the amendment. An incident happened inr in con nection v.ith tills: matter, which so far as I know, is without precedent iti this State since 1 have known anything about legislation. XU we would vote n all matters as our consciences demanded. 1 want to call your attention lor one moment to the political aspect of this matter—but before I do so I want* to refer to mn other thing this lobby lias done that 1 think is unfair. 1 will state it plainly and frankly here. 1 under stand they have secured a delay upon a proposition to extend the charter of an electric railroad in Aroostook coun ty; u matter which is of great import ance to the people of that county, and that they have said if this amendment could be killed, favorable action would lie permitted upon that charter. If they have done that, they have Untie what is unfair and improper on any matter of this kind. I want to call your attention to the political asiiect of this pupation. The Republican party', acting through the Legislature, has granted at different times siiecial privileges t the H. A. U. lh The tirst special privilege was granted for the purpose of getting a railroad built into this part of Maine. The next special privilege was grant ed in If*'”, and 1 do not believe the members of the Legislature understood at that time what they were doing. That privilege I referred to the other day. The Republicans have been crit icized for both those acts. As the sen ator from Knox informed us sometime ago, 73,000 voters of this State voted ns they did at the last election to in dicate their desire to rritirize .some thing that the Republican administra tion had done. Is it not possible that Some of those 73,000 voters believed that the Democrats meant what they said when thev advocated “equal rights for all and special privileges for n me?” TIew will you justify your vote if you continue this special priv ilege which ought never to have beer, granted arid which ought not to he continued? 1 shall endeavor to get no vote op the final passage of this bill and I shall make no attempt to offer again the amendment, but I desire to be r» corded ns against the passage of tie hill in its present form. 1 hope, if it is passed, file outraged business sense of the people of this State will resort to a demand for a referendum upon it. Mr. STAPLES of Kn-jc; -Mr. Presi dent. I have been very much aston ished by the remarks of tlie gentleman from Aroostook. I think tlioy arc uu cnlled for, unlair, and a criticism upon every member of this Senate. I Jn not believe, anil I stand here l/i behalf of every member of this Sen ate, that there is any lobby, any coun sel. that can influence any member of tills body contrary to his own con science I have a right to vote and he has a right to vote, i very member of this bod? has n right to vote, accord ing to the light he lias.

For the two months of the calendar year clearings show a lo«s of about 11 per cent from the total of the corresponding time a year ago. Ihu. leaving the exchanges at this cen tre out of the calculation, the loss is less than one-half of 1 per cent. In view of tiii heavy contraction in bank clearings in the closing months of 1910, the exhibit for Jnutiary and February is xtremely gratifying and encourag ing and indicates a growth in our .general business far greater than was looked for at the beginning of the eur yept year. The iron and steel industry, 'bank clearings and railroad earnings -apply our trade barometer. Sub stantial improvement is reported in tnc demand for Iron and steel, the per centage t>l bank exchanges is rapidly decreasing and the volume of railroad trail* as reflect'd by gross returns is espy tiding. Rushing Troops to the Border. The spectacle of 20,000 American nroops rushing to the Mexican border ae minds us that it takes less time to •create a war or, perhaps, to unmake one, than it did in the days when f'tni Houston was hurrying to the relief of Fort Alamo at San Antonio. How vividly the reports which came to us long after stand out in memory —of the SO brave men who held out before the 6000 followers of Santa Anna! Among these heroes were Davy Crockett. Col. Travis and Jim Howie, w 1h* fought to the last and were slaughtered by the relentless followers ot the Mexican leader. Sam Houston came too late: the slaughter was over, but since his arrival the Mexicans have respected the border line. Now Ftiolo Sam is hurrying an army down to the border for pur poses of "instruction” only, and as an assurance to 'Mexicans and to others who may. Ijr: looking on that in spite of tile uufu-i pa redness of w hich Hub son mu> others talk your Uncle Samuel could jo (tulle a respectable chore at lirir.g out a ructious enemy. The movement of troops to San An itonio is said to be for the purpose of Held training of officers and men and of holding maneuvers involving pos sible operations at Galveston, '..lu re a, force of three r-giments will be as ssmbled for defence. On the I’acitic «cast the mobilization will involve a brigade of infantry in the Los Angeles district for the purpose of defending •■ion Diego and Slut Pedro against a possible attack of the navy. Of course the mobilization of those Hoops v ill furnish an excellent opportunity t tljc instruct ion of a number of s. tiler officers in th intervene to pre vent a reign of anarchy. It lias been rumored in Washington—but of course without foundation that Great Britain and France have hinted that it might be necessary to override the Munroe doctrine, if interests are not protected in the republic to the south of us. Probably it will not be necessary for the United Ftutes to intervene, but should American or other investment, or the lives of foreigners be menaced in Mcxi‘0, there is no doubt that the strong hand of I Tide Warn will he im mediately felt as a regulator of con ditions. Little real Information can gi••aii «*0 from the reports; ol the progress of the insurrection, but the government seems to have lost ground, or at least Hot t have followed up some of the advantages "-liich it has •laimed. equipped with the latest and best pat terns of small arn and artillery, and under a high state of discipline. tin very (lower of Diaz's army is mobiliz ed at the capital. Hut no forward movement seems to have been made ot contemplated. Such a condition \cites the suspicion that the Mexican authorities are fearful of an uprlsinp in the rear of the army, should it march away and leave the government without stroiip protection. Presum ably Washington has had advices of the meaning of such a happening just what has been predicted many times, the downfall of the republic At any rate, it is an example of in genuity that is timely, In the sudden placing of the war maneuvers along the Mexican border at this season of the year. Laurier Confirms Our Argument. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the prime min ister of Canada, in a notable speech in the House of Commons at Ottawa, defend:: the so called “reciprocity agreement between the I’nited States and Canada. Standing out prominent ly in his address, in w hich lie affirmed Canadian loyalty to Great llritain and scouted the idea of annexation, sir Wilfrid announced that “Canada wants the open door to American markets." Again he remarked (and it should be significant to the farmers of Maine and along the border) that "Canada's life is dependent upon agricultur Premier Igiurier's speech is regard ed in political circles of Canada as the most important utterance on the subject that has been made on that side of the line. Describing his ideal of relationship between the Cnited States and Canada, Sir Wilfrid said: “There perhaps may be a spectacle nobler than that of a united continent —a spectacle which would astound the world by its novelty and grandeur, a spectacle of two peoples living side by side, separated only by an invisi ble line, with not a gun frowning across it. not a fortress on either side. with no armament one against the other, hut living in harmony, in mutual confidence and with no other rivarly than a generous emulation in coin tner.e and the arts of peace. To the Canadian people i would .say that if it is possible for us to obtain such relations between these two young and growing nations. Canada will have rendered to old England, the mother of nations, nay to the whole Ilritish t mpiro. a service unequalled in its present effect and still more in its l'ar-reaching consequence." Again Premier Laurier said: "We are above all an agricultural people. Our object today Is to open the door to the American market, and shall we be tc Id that because such an arrange ment is to go into effect and Canadian vegetables, cereals and fruits can be eaten free of duty by the American people it will be all over with the Canadian federation and even the ilritish empire will reel upon its foun dation? Let us disregard these freaks of unreasoning panic. ALL THAT WE ASK IS TO OBTAIN' FOE THE CANADIAN WHO WORKS IN THE FIELDS THE BEST POSSIBLE RE MUNERATION FOR HIS LABOR." That is precisely what we have said to the farmers of Maine—that thu> must compete with the agricultural products of the farmers on the other side of the line, who have the ad vantage of buying their manufactured product at lower prices than it i. pos sible for us to secure. And that is all that the farmers demand—if "ur markets for farm produce are to be overflowing with the products of cheaper labor, cheaper and inner lands, then we must have some de gree of relief from our home govern ment in that which we have to buy. Tha Aviator as War Scout. Thursday, in France, Aviator Kenuux made a flight of HIT miles with a passenger, using a Farman bi plane, and winning a prize of $110,000. The distance \sas eovered in -1 hours and al minutes, making a rate or speed of 41.9 miles per hour. The landing was made at the top ol a mountain 4x00 feet high. Sueli a flight demonstrates beyond all quib bling the utility of the flying machine for war scouting purposes and also as a means for transportation for pas sengers and light material. Down in Texas, the other day. Lieut J ouioU and Phil Parma lee made a flight *of 110 miles from Laredo to Eagle 4'ass, carrying a weight, all told, of 1400 lbs. They made the distance without a stop at almost a mile a minute, over a section of country with which they were unfamiliar and inhabited principally by a people speaking a different tongue. Over al most the entire distance they main tained an altitude of nearly 4000 feet and made a careful survey on both sides of the river which they fol lowed.

Captain VVestman pleaded guilty ot the charge specifying that lie neglected to report the casualty at the earliest op portunity. It might have been Miser to have made a plea indicating that then* was no intent to violate the law. The plea and tills appeal has demonstrated that the Steamboat Inspection Service in this local district covers up nothing and is willing to listen to any complaint. The accident happened on the 20th. and was reported on tin* !£’rd. Tne local in spectors should have been notified Imme diately and a detailed report made later. Captain VVestman did not understand that, but immediately commenced to ob tain statements and information about Hu* accident, and us soon as he was satis fied how il occurred made his report. The delav was not due to neglect but igtlorance of duty of reporting. While technically guilty he is not on this count blameworthy. The complaint has been made that the Islander has habitually run through that cut at too great speed, endangering little temporary landings and fusing rowboats about. The same complaint is made of other vessels passing through the cut. This service has taken cognizance of re pairing damage by passing steamers but it is more than questionable whether a complaint, on the grounds mentioned in this case, is a proper subject for us to consider. The Islander runs on a sched ule made by her owners. The speed at which all steamers run is regulated by the business. Owners are dependent on patronage. If the patrons of a line wish it run slowly the owners would run ac cordinglv. but it is safe to say that if the Islander was operated in competition with a steamer whicli^made the run in an AUGUSTA LODGE DIRECTORY BETHLEHEM LODGE.

Orders of the Day. Mr PETERS of Ellsworth—Mr. Slfakor, I move to reconsider the vote whereby the Resolve in favor of the Waterville Fair was indefinitely post eonpd. The reason I make that mo- I tion Is this. 1 believe that it is only fair that ail propositions of this kind he treated exactly alike. After today It will be contrary to the rules to re consider our motion whereby that re solve. was indefinitely postponed. It is proper, as the House has voted, to postpone to another day the consider ation of these matters so that we can examine into their merits. If the House should dtcide to i>ass any of these resolves granting gratuities I think, it should pass them all if they are proper. It should make no dis tinction between the Waterville Fair or any other Fair. If we are going to give the Waterville Fair money we should give the others, and vice versa. For that reason I move to re consider the vote whereby tie appro pria'ion was indefinitely postponed for the Wati rville Fair, and that it lie osl i>'lied last night. 1 do not think Hit last word has boon spoken in record to that tall bridgi matter It it is not out ol‘order 1 mov* j that the vote In reconsidered.

Mr. Small, favors the pas sage ef an amendment to this bill, which amendment is with the Hill No. 147. Mr. PATTAXGALL of Watt rville: M*\ Speaker, don't know but the best solution of all these matters may be t i indefinitely postpone them, but 1 would like to have the House know wont it is doing when it does it. The fishing industry lias been a sort of joke around here this winter, but as a mat ter of fact, one county in this State shipped out last year almost $3,000,000 worth of sardines, »nd if anything is done to interfere in any way with that industry it is a pretty serious matter to 43.000 people down in the county of Washington. I have not had any op pnrt unity to look over these various bills, and it may be as I say that the best tiling to do would be to indefi nitely postpone them all and get along und -r the existing laws, but the House ought to take time enough to look into the bills and see what it is vot ing upon. If is now pretty late and we have been having a pretty good tibie tins forenoon, and I would suggest that no harm could result if this mat ter should go over until tomorrow when we have no appropriations to consider and the different gentlemen who are interested in a business way in one of the greatest industries that Maine lias got might have an oppor tunity to confer together and see what would be left after they indefinitely postponed the bills which are now be fore tlie House: and I move that the matter be tabled until tomorrow. The motion was agreed to. On motion by Mr. Stetson of Lewis ton the rules were suspended and tiiat gentleman introduced resolve in favor of Harry Stetson, and on further mo tion by the same gentleman the re solve was referred to the committee on appropriations, and financial affairs.

Tins is not a private corporation matter. It Is an act to supply the town of North Haven with pure water, and I think it is only neces sary for me to say that this bill could not have been presented to this House before because the matter had to come before me town meeting of North Haven, and that town meeting was only held last Monday.

Mr. I'.VT'I ANttALL of Watervilh Mr. Speaker, the question before tin House as I understand it is to rienn rlilor Ok vote whereby Sehftte Hum. ntent. No. 134 was indefinitely post The SPEAKER: That Is the rts were made, as 1 suggested. in the inti rest of certain men who were very nuit'li interested in this industry on both sides that the whole matter might lu> upon the table until to morrow for consideration. As Sen ate Document, No. 131 hail been in definitely postponed, in order to bring that bill in with the others so that tie parties in interest could sit down this afternoon and Ret at some mode of considering tin mutter, the gcntlo ;nun from Machiasport. Mr. Small, moved that we reconsider the vote, not to pass the bill, Lut simply to bring this bill back to a position where it could be tallied. Now, in order that the House may vote understand ingly uihui this mat ter, and this bill is so short that if the House will bear with me for a moment I would like to read it. It simply amends Section '.Hi of Chapter four of t’le Revised Statutes by addins this sentence to it 'The »poll cant for license io build or extend a fish wire first giving bond to the town without sureties, in the sum of two. conditioned that u|H*n the termination of such license he shall remove all stakes and brush from tlie lo cation described In his license." That is all there Is to this bill. I don’t know anything about tlie Mayo bill or about the purpose of the committee, and I don't know whether that bill is useful or use less, and for the present purpose I don't care; hut 1 would like to have tills House when they come to vote upon a matter understand something about it. I know we all want to. Most of us are not near ly so familiar with the technical side of this matter as a few members of the House are There is nothing in the mo tion which has been made which will shorten the sardine pack or take away the work of anybody who has worked, take away the labor from anybody who has worked. The effect of the motion as made is simply to bring that bill back so that it, with the other four or five or a dozen—1 don't know how many there arc —bills relating to this same subject mat ter may be assembled. It may be found then that the better way will bp to in definitely postpone the whole thing; it may be that there may be some merit in some one or more of these measures, hui I would like to mention this and urge that perhaps the gentleman from East port misunderstood the situation. The present motion involves the considera tion of the merits of neither hill and can effect in no way any business. 1 feel pretty deeply in this matter because the best clients that 1 have in the world are the sardine packers, and we have been endeavoring for the past few days to get together and see if wo could not arrive at something that would do some good, and at the instance of some of the larger manu facturers, including a member of this (Continued on Page Eleven.)

Mr. Montgomery said that it would not for the judges would he present Just the same. He then went on to review tlie history of the courts in the State, recalling the old court oi common pleas, the district courts and the establishment of the present general form in lKfiS, the law court of lS.’ifi and the amendment of lSfu. Mr. Montgomery reiterated his ob jection to having the same judges sit iu trial who attend the law terms and Mr. Misbee interposed the suggestion that Mr. Montgomery didn't want the judges where they could talk to each other. Mr. Montgomery allowed that that was about bis position. He went on to recite that in his tirst case be fore the law court, he hail tried the case before Judgi Appleton and found him sitting when he got to tin law court. lie felt that it wasn't right and objected to it. "You had to stick to the same story, didn’t you?" remarked Mr. Bisboe sar castically and everyone laughed. I would stick to the same story anyway," replied Mr. Montgomery. Continuing he said that he tound that clients made ihe same object inn to the present system that he did and that both the I'nited States and Massachu setts had changed oyer. "Don't you think the decisions of the .Maine decisions are just ax weighty and iuxt as good as those of the Massa husetts courts?" asked Mr. lietsey. Mr. Montgomery replied that k he didn't care to make an? comparisons. In answer to u question as to whether he believed iiis law consti tutional Mr. Montgomery said that th'- court was already divided, the thief justici having superior powers; nit" is to designated as a trial judge: a certain number are constituted a law court and judges, on occasion, can sit as judge of the superior courts. t 'harlcs F. Libby of Portland ob jected to the last assertion, but Mr. Mont grant ry pointed out that Judge Jiinl recently occupied the superior bench iu Cumberland county upon the death of Judge Turner. Iiavid N. Nortland of llockland. dean of tite Knox county bar and jtresident of tile Knox County liar ts soolation, made a stirring addr« in favor of tlte charge. "Perhaps you are somewhat surprised that 1 should feM called upon to say anything in this matter. My days at the liar are practically ended, i have no future and don't desire any. I have bon at tlte bar in active practice for 4a years anti have had considerable perienee. My name appears in the Maine Reports to the extent of ptO cases. "I may say to you here that I have never been satisfied with the system. I? there is no lietter system than that in fdain then stick to it, but my ex perience leads me to believe that there is something better. We want what is best. We want that which, will place our courts above suspicion. ur courts are not above suspicion. The judges are permitted to go among the people to Itear local prejudices and take them to the law court. 1 mec.n no criticism of the court, hut the judges are human. They arc like you and I even if they are absolutely honest. Ycu say that we have this system here for O') years. Why? Is it be cause there is none better? No, it is because we are used to the sys tem. What ever is, is right. We are too conservative. Now if we arc sat isfied that tlte system is tight why is it that none of the other states, and several have been admitted in the last fifty years, have not adopted our system? The Legislature a few years ago placed certain restrictions upon judges who Sit in law courts. It felt evidently that judges should not sit on cases concerning which they hail already expressed to a certain degree an opin ion. But that does not remove the objections. The associations make friends. Although you men here are only together three months yet I would not want to try a ease before one of you and then appeal to the rest of you. Why? You are friends "I don't expect to tty another case. CERTAIN RESULTS. Many an Augusta Citizen Knows How Sure They Are. Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Augusta. There is plenty of positive proof of tins in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter, Rond the following statement: W. S. Keene, 95 Bridge St., Augusta, Me., says: “I cannot find words to ful ly express my opinion of Doan’s Kid ney Pills, but can say without the least hesitation that they are tile best kidney remedy on earth. For a long time I was afflicted with kidney com plaint. There was a dull ache in the small of my hack and I had little or no control over the kidney secretions, being obliged to arise nearly every hour at night. The secretions also passed with a burning sensation. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box at W. It. Partridge's Drug Store and was surprised and gratified by the quick relief 1 received from their use. There was an im provement after had taken a few doses and by (he lime I had finished the contents of one box I was cured. I am today free from kidney trouble.

Let’s remove all suspicion, le t it he per fectly fair." Representative Mersey— "How would you hnv>- these three men selected?” Mr. Mortland—”1 would have them elected by the peo ple. Business is different now-a-days from what it was f> years ago. Now nearly all eases are an individual against a big corporation. In those days the corporations didn’t have their lobby and their high priced law yt rs to get a ease through, t'nder the present system the policy of the corporations is to procure delay. This is tin best system for delay that ex ists. The corporation lawyers want it preserved and that is why you see all these men here today." Mr. Mortland related a. number of incidents from his own experience as to the working* of the present law court system and handled the rulings of the Jaw court in various instances with but scant respect. Co further than the provision of the Logtsiatun excluding the sitting judge from hearing the case before him and exclude them all. Cive the peo ple a system that means speedy ius tit'., snut Mr Mortland. Tlir> judges are so tied up with the nisi (iritis terms that the> lave no time for the law oases amt ean't con sider them until (loti knows when.” Mr. Mortland in conclusion intimated that most of the eases d« ruled by the superior court Were dn ith-d by one judge alone, the others merely sign ing their names Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Augusta, iti speaking for tile remonstrants against tie hill, said that he regretted that a lawyer of the age and extieri i roe of Mr. Mortland should suggest that the supreme court justices were swayed by self-interest. If the Rnck land man were younger lie would use appropriate and fitting language m condemnation of Air Mortland's ut terances. Mr. Mortland Tat her rip.” Mr. Heath—(With dignity)—”1 don't intend to hting mvsell to that level." Mr. Heath went on to say that dur ii g his exp- rier.ee as a lawyer he had done much to remove delays in tilt? trial of causes. When he begun prac ti"e it sometimes took three years to reach a final decision and now it could he had the first term. II characterized tile otis hill as an assault tip-in the integrity of the courts and an injury to litigants and said that if he was pleading his ease in court he should lile a demurrer lor multifarious!)) ss. The single issue was whether tins hill with its amendments should he adopted. The hill provided for the abolishment of the two sup> rior courts in the State and for t:. increase of the supr. justice:-. to either p) or nine with either live .,r four designated to sit as law justn es and forbidden to sit in the trial courts. He took up the proposition of wip ing out the superior court and wanted to know who had asked for that ith er in Cumberland nr in Kcm le coun ty. He said that tlu-.se courts did their business well. In Cumberland county a bright mug man had just been ap pointed as judge of the superior court. "Kennebec omits has had for "l Mats a good old judge whom we all icspeet. His term expires in April and Fred r.irery Beane by common consent is to be his successor and all of tin law ns in my county without respect to politics are satisfied to have Fred Frnerv Beane go on the bench.” "You ean't hold your January terms with these judges. You'll got plugged in April and you'll get pluggi l in Hi p ti tuber." said Mr. Heath in ridiculing the system provided in the hill. He went on t point out that under the present arrangement tnere were t. terms of court, each judge now hold ing six and the chief justice live. The hill simply added five terms making 52 terms to be held by five judges, ten each for three and one for two. He said that with the addition of the superior court terms Kennebec nmv had seven court terms while the bill gave t in five. Cumberland had 12 terms while the bill would substitute six. “Think what you are putting upon the five trial judges, all the criminal work, r.2 terms of court, all of tile di vorce work and equity work, and all the many increasing matters coining up in regard to corporations. You have made the supreme court a final board of appeal in the assessment of taxes and the Legislature now propose to make it a court whore all appeals are settled in matters connected with im pending public utility and water stor age bills and in connection with com petitive electrical franchises. You pro posed to have all of this mass of work, old and new, done by five trial jus tices.’’ Mr. Heath then reviewed the history of the old system that has prevailed In tne State. Tie said that in 1855 when Anson P. Morrill was Governor the Legislature undertook exactly the same thing that Mr. Montgomery was proposing now and a bill was passed designating four judges of the suprent court to consider all questions ot law and equity leaving ttie other four to attend to jury trials. "Governor Morrill was succeeded by Governor Wells, an ex-judge of the superior court and an old-time Demo crat, ns good a Democrat as Senator Staples,” continued Mr. Heath, "and the next Legislature under bis direc tion repealed Gov. Morrill's law." Representative Williamson of the committee at this point took n hand in cross-examining Mr. Heath. “Do you think that the present law that one judge shall not sit under cer tain conditions is constitutional?'' ask ed Mr. Williamson. Mr. Heath replied that he did not think it was. “Rut suppose that it. should he?” urged Mr. Williamson, "would it not follow that if it was the provisions of the present bill would bo constitutional?’’ 1 i tt n—n •It would m but uTTtVb- WTSWfts-nt." I Mr. Heath • change the du ties of the judges as they were ap pointed. fc^r.Jleatm 4hi* i* As to the question as to whether the present >urt was ampin to carry out its work ho hail hail conversation with three iulitres and they had as sured him »Ii.it tlie present force was ample to attend to all the duties. The remedy for the situation over in Knox county was not this bill but to find a Re id man for a sup» rior court judge, just ;c they had done in Cumberland county. Mr. Heath said that he would like to see the present system of superior courts broadened out. "l-et the largci counties have a superiot court of their own and the smaller counties lie grouped together." lie said. Mr. Heath went on to say that the development of equity work in the State was enormous and it would more than double in the next 10 years. Mr. .Montgomery asked him if he wasn't coining over to his side of the wise and Mr. Heath replied that he believed in one side of this proposi tion but didn't believe in the other. Mr Williamson of the committee at tliis point butted in again with a ques tion to Mr Heath as to the average l-ngtli cf the nisi prills terms and Mr. H* ath replied that he thought it a little over two weeks. Mr. William son w is willing to consider three weeks in average and endeavored to show Mr. Heath lhat by tin present system the five judges provided in the tiil] would have plenty of time to atti nd fo nisi prius work. Mr. Heath admitted that in 1*92 he had made a sji- eeh in favor of a statutory court of appeals higher than the supreme court hut he had changed his mind and anyhow he thought the statute of hm'tations ought to appl" t• a speech made as long ago as that. Mr. Montgomery had nothing to say! in rebuttal and tin hearing closed at this point. ANTIPICKEfING LAW Bill for Its Repeal Before the Judiciary Committee. Represeniatit• Otis' hill to repeal the anti-picket law gave the lawyers of the judiciary committee and such other cor poration attorneys as were present Thurs day afternoon an opportunity to get a lit tle amusement nut r. Plummer of iasbon came to Mr. Otis’ support, attemptlug to clear up some of the fog which hart settled over the issue while the lawyers were exer cising their stock in trade. Patrick Fitzgerald of Augusta threw a bombshell into the camp of the attorneys aurt incidentally upset the gravity of the august judiciary committee when he re-1 luted that when the law was first put on1 the statute books, as the representative' of a union he was sent to consult an at-1 torney to ascertain its effect upon the unions. He said that he was advised that the statute meant little, if anything, and that it was enacted because of some thing which happened in the West and so as to be prepared in case anything of the sort happened in Maine. ‘‘And that attor ney, gentlemen, was the Hon. Herbert M. Heath." said Mr. Fitzgerald, turning to that distinguished attorney while the RUPTURE AND PILES NOW GURARLE Dr. A. W. Turner, a Boston specialist, has published a pamphlet explaining how rupture, piles and all rectal troubles may be cured to stay cured without going to a hospital or using the knife. Of course all sufferers are interested, and letters arc coming to the doctor in great numbers from other physicians and from afflicted people. To all inquirers the doctor sends the pamphlet by mail without charge. The doctor’s address is A- 'V. Turner, M. D., Hotel Pelham. 74 (Wylston St.. Boston, Mass. ,,mch6-S-10 I Facts About Motherhood The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a nun dred is prepared or understands how to properly care forher self. Of course near ly every woman now adays has medical t rent men t at the time of child-birth, hut many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for tin* trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shook from which it is hard to recover. Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charmingthan a happy and healthy mother of chil dren, and indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all tin* evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going Mindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have amide time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong. Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass, Her letter will be held in strict confidence. crowd roared with laughter.

NEW ENGLAND BISCUIT CO. Worcester, Mass. When the Cook Leaves don't fret or scold—lay in a good supply of Shredded Wheat—the food that is ready-cooked, ready-to-serve—contains all the nutriment in the whole wheat grain, steam-conked, shredded and baked a crisp, golden brown—a food that is good ail the way through—tempting in its nutlike flavor—a delight to eat and to serve. D WHEAT BISCUIT is without doubt the most perfectly balanced, most easily digested food ever given to man. It is not flavored or compounded with anything —not a “patent-medicine” food—not a “pre-digested” food just plain, simple, wholesome, steam-cooked whole wheat, shredded and baked, it is better than mushy porridges because you have to chew it, thereby getting from it all its rich, body-building nutriment. Try it for breakfast with milk or cream (hot milk in Winter). Being in bis cuit term it is easy lo prepare a nourishing meal with it in a few minutes in combination with fresh or stewed fruits. Always heat the biscuit in oven to restore crispness before aer\ ing. Two Biscuits with milk or cream and a iki-e fruit make a complete nourishing meal. Your grocer sells it.

Yet, if help can he had. it is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the wom an undergoes all the annoyance a*nd shame for nothing. Thousands of women who have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion write in appreciation of the cure which dispenses with the exam inations and local treatments. There is no other medicine so sure and safe for delicate women as Favorite Prescription." It cures debilitating drams, irregularity ana female weakness, it always helps. It almost always cures. “Favorite Prescription is strictly non=aleoholic, non*secret, all its ingredients being printed on its bottle*wrapper; con= tains no deleterious or habit* forming drugs, and every native medicinal root entering into its composition has the full en* dorsenient of those most eminent in the several schools of medical practice. Some of the numerous and strongest of professional endorsements of its ingredi ents will be found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also in a booklet mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Fierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. 1'hese profes sional endorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordi nary lay, or non-professional testimonials.

One of the largest manufacturing plants in Augusta has been able to increase its business by buying electric power and is now depending upon the Central Maine Power Co. for the operation of a considerable part of its mill. During the year the Company lias secured additional water rights and now owns sufficient undeveloped water power to be able to sup ply the various communities in vvnich it is doing business with elec tric power for many years to come. Land has been bought and the plans completed for a large steam plant to be located in Farmingdale and to be connected with the rest of the Company's system. The building of this plant will insure absolute reliability of service, and in no other way can electricity be produced so cheaply as by combin ation of water power and steam. We are ready to supply electricity for any purpose in any quantity. CENTRAL MAINE POWER COMPANY Offices in Augusta, Waterville, Gardiner, Skowhegan, Pittsfield, Dexter MONMOUTH.

Manufacturing and Printing Arrange ments Completed By Hitchcock. Washington, March 9.—By affixing his signature to the contract for the manufacturer and printing of stamped envelopes and stamped newspaper wrappers today, Postmaster lletioral Hitchcock put an end for at least four years from July 1 next to a con test that has waged intermittently fer more than a quarter of a century. The contract is made by the post office department with Myron t\ Tay lor, president of the Mercantile Cor poration of New York city and calls for the delivery to the government of such stamped envelopes and stamp ed newspaper wrappers as it may re quire during the next four years. The Mercantile Corporation is the present contractor; but the prices to be paid by the government for the supplies during the next four years will effect a saving of $:;97,R8rt, based upon the number of envelopes and wrappers used in 10o. What is known as the Tou Wile bill to prohibit the department from contracting for the printing of return address upon stamped envelopes was before the recent Congress. It was vigorously tttged by the job printing trade generally and by many of the allied labor organizations. The meas ure died with the close of Congress.

HUNDRED IN PERIL Naval Tug Carrying Enlisted Men Ashore on Virginia Coast. Norfolk. Va.. March 9.—For eight hours last night and today 100 enlisted men en route from the American battleship fleet in Cuban waters were in momentary dan ger of losing their lives when the naval tug I'ncas went ashore two miles south of the Hip Raps, near here. The supply ship Celtic arrived yesterday from Cuba with a big draft of men whose terms of enlistment have or will expire shortly, anil the t'ncas was dispatched from the Norfolk navy yard to bring the men to this city. When the tug started back to Norfolk, despite the fact that the channel Is wide and deep, she went about 1000 feet off her course and hit the beach. She finally floated herself early today only after a night of terror during which distress whistles were blown and rockets and re volvers fired continuously.

Paris, March 9.—The officials of the foreign office today informed The Asso ciated Press that the French government has made no representations to the Unit ed States regarding tlte protection of French interests in Mexico. News of the American action was re ceived with extraordinary interest by tlte foreign office, where, in the absence of special advices from Washington on the Subject, it is assumed that the reasons for tin- step taken were wholly sufficient. Local financial interests are somewhat concerned regarding events in Mexico, where, it is roughly estimated, this coun try has Jloo.OOO.OOO invested. The explanation of the latest develop ment current on the Bourse is that the United States government has in mind the ultimate possibility of being required to protect the immense American inter ests ill Mexico which might he imperiled hi consequence of the death of President J.iiaz. by widespread disorders in tluu country.

I want tu vis it the place when- the Indians cad me penned up for two weeks, and "here, 1 was compelled to eat the neat skunks to keep alive. These were the words of an old man who stepped from the eastbouml Santa Fe train lure a few days ago. John son was a buffalo hunter and trapper who roamed the prairie oi tile great tl.-sett country to the west of \\K-lnt.i more than 41 years ago. The cavern was cut in the side o the bluff near the river. Possibly it was natural, but the hand ot mail had aided nature. Entrance was effected only by a small bole, almost miper rri.tlWo. H«-r* Johnson made* his home, having driven out the coyotes, rattlesnakes, and owls which sought to make it their abode. The cav« was in two compartments, me used bv the old trapper as a kiteli ■n and tin- otlier for a sleeping room. Mi orifice extending through a seam in tiie bluff afforded an exit for smoke, ivhicli passed out at the top of the lUl. and Johnson had cut a fireplace which connected with this natural One dux in the summer of Johnson. while returning from Wich ita, wt’.orc lie had gone to market pelts on,l hides and t«> lay in supplies for his use, was overtaken by prowling In dians on the Xinnesaeh. Tlu-re were twenty of the braves, all decked out in war paint, and well mounted. John son knew that lie must ride for Ills lite. and. throwing away his load of sup plies, rode for the pave. It was a long, wild ride, but lie readied it first, trime 1 M= pony loose, crawled through the small ntranco, and blocked it up With his ride he picked off several Indians. This enraged the remainder Of the band. They pil’ d dried prairie grass ir> front of the entrance and sought to smoke the trapper out. nut the smoke poured out of the exit at the top of the bill. The Indians uuickly discovered this and attempted to block the orifice, tint, although Johnson was nearly smothered, be withstood the smoking-out process. The Indians kept up the siege tor fifteen days, Johnson, fortunately, had plenty of drinking water, for there was a spring within the cave. l»tit lie soon ran short of provisions, lb v.as finally compelled to resort to eating tiie meat of some of tlie skunks which he had caught In i is traps for their hides. After they had lost ahout one-hall their number, and without succeeding in getting the trapper out of the hole, the Indians left, for they received word that troops were marching west from Wichita to rescue him. .1 olirson remained in his cavern hone until civilization drove away the buffalo and other wild game, and then he depart 'd for Colorado, where he lived as a recluse all these years, and whence ne lias returned to sre his old home.—N.
