At the meeting of the Stockholders of the United Stdss Bank, the "Revenne loan" recently passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, accepted, and res sution adopted to continue the corporate exis tsice of the Bank. Afterwards, the defence of the ivsstis ,ting committee from the charges made in M..

 Bsf,re the meeting adjourned, Mr. Duane moveda series of strong and indignant resolutions in regard fJ ,hs missing $6ls,000. He asserted that there was strong reason to suppose that that immense hal beea used improperly, and that the interests of the stockholders. the reputation of the ofcersof the bank, and justice to the public. demanded that the purp ss for which 1t was appropriated should be shown.

SIR-As your Exceliency will doubtless
be informed of her Majesty's troops having
lately arrived 10 the Madawaska settlement
| deem it to consist with that iranknesS,
which trust my intercourse with the au-
thorities of Maine has always been charac'
tersed, to acquaint you that the movement
in question, made by the orders OF The Gov
General OF these Provinces has no other
object, than to give support to the civil au-
thorties of that settlement, one OF whose
magistrates, Francis Rice, Esq. has been
greatly lnsulted, threatened with personal
violence. ard INSTRUCTED in the discharge
of his duties, by persons protesting them
selves to be citizens of the State oil Maine.
And another, James Mclaughlin, Esq. al
so magistrate of this province, aud hold
ing the office Of " w arden of the disputed
territory has been threatened by The per-
son in charge oithe armed posse stationed
at " Fish River" with being arrested and
sent as a prisoner to Augusta, in the event
of his persevering in the performance OF
the duties imposed upon him by the Gov
ernor of the Queen and that OF this Prov
ince. Whether the assertions made, rs
am assured by this person, that IN holding
this language he is only acting IN accol-
dance with his instructions, be correct or
otherwise, your Exceilency will best know,
but refusing as have done to believe that
he can have received any authority for
proceeding which must regard as incon-
.sistent with existing engagements, have
no; hestated in expressing 10 the Governor
General my conviction that an armed civil
posse corresponding in amount and de-
scription with that malna aimed by Maine,
will be found quite adequate, to effect the
object in view, viz. the prevention of acts
of unauthorized aggression or interference
as regards the inhabitants or authorities Of
the Madawaska settlement, and have ac-
cordingly no reason TO doubt, that acting
upon this suggestion, his ExcelIency will
forthwith give directions, for the troops to
be Withdrawn to their former stations.

Saco, Dec. ID, 1910.
SIR-I have the honor to enclose copies
of correspondence between Sir John Har-
yey. Lieut.. Gov. of the Province of New
Brunswick and myself, by which 1t will be
perceived that Maine is again subjected to
the modification Of having foreign troops
quartered upon her territory. The alleged
causes for this renewed outrage, and the
circumstances under which ii has been COM
mitted you will find stated in the letter Of
Sir John Harvey. That the alleged causes
are entirely insufficient to justify SO direct
and palpable breach Of the subsistug
agreement between the Authorities Of this
State and the Lieut.. Gov of the Province
of New Brunswick, is clear. Indeed they
hardly afford descent pretext for adding
another to the long catalogue Of insults and
injuries, which the citizens Of this State
have been compelled to endure, at the hands
of the British Government for the last quar-
ter Of a century | trust that the EXecu-
tive Government Of the United States will
forthwith take measures to insure the with
,drawal of their troops from our territory, or
to expel Them should the candid and rea-
sonable suggestions, which 1t seems has
been made to the Gov. General of the Brit
ash Provinces by Sir John Harvey prove
unavailing.
/ have the honor to be,
with the highest respect,
Your most ob't servant,
JOHN FAIRFIELD,
Gov. Of Maine.

the receipt of your EXcellency's communi-
cation Of the 10Th inst, containing an eXpa-
nation Of late movement on the part of the
Gov. General oftho Provinces, in ordering
detachment of troops to the Madawaska
settlement. Your Excelency says it "has
no other object than to g i've support to the
civil authorities of that settlement. One
of whose magistrates, Francis Rice, Esq.

personal violence, and obstructed in the
discharge of his duties, by persons profess
sing themselves to be citizens of the State
of Maine. And another, James McLaugh-

arrested and sent to Augusta. in the event
of hi, persevering in the performance OF the
duties imposed upon him by the GoVefn-
ment of the Queen and that OF this prov
luce While entertaining inst sense OF the
lrankness and courtesy in which this eNPla-
nation is made | deem it my duty to say that
cannot regard the quarterlng OF the troops
at the Madawaska settlement, at TINS ttihe
by the British Government, III any olher
light than as & direct and palpable infringe
merit of the subslstlng arrangement, ana
that the above statement affords no suih-
cient excuse or justification OF such an act.
Nor is il the less aggravated by the clrculh-
stance that it is the repetition OF similar
movement made since the arrangement was
entered into, and which was at the tine,
the subject of complaint and remonstrance
not only on the part of the State Auhori-
ties. but by the General Government. The
first was sought to be justified on the ground
of apprehension that Maine intended TO do
the like The latter upon grounds which,
if not less substantial, certainly afforded DO
reasonable pretence that any military force
was necessary, much less a force in addi-
tion to the two hundred troops already sta
toned At Tamiscouta Lake. In REQ ard to
this point. that is the absence of all neces-
sity for military force, | am happy to per-
ceve that we do not disagree, and trust
that your Excclency's suggestion to the
Gov General touching his withdrawal will
not be without effect.
In relation to the facts alleged, | am I'M
