Although there has, in MONTREAL been a
very great diminution in the death rate from
smallpox, we ask you to bear in mind that,
as far as the numbering interests are con-
cerned, there isstill as much danger as ever
of remitting precautionary measures against
the introduction of the disease into the
camps In many of the parishes in the low
er part of the province below Quebec small
pox, prevails to an alarming extent. The
following places ard known to the Board to
be, or lately to have been, affected with

Ex-oov. coRuRN,s WILL.
The Hearing on the Motion to Set
it Aside Postponed.

SKowHEGAN, Dec. 29.-The hearing which
was assigned before Judge Walton of the
| Supreme Judicial Court, for today, on mo-
| tion to have the will of ex-Gov. Coburn set
aside, has been postponed until Friday, at
| the request of d. D. Stewart, counsel for the
petitioners, he wishing to obtain the affi-
| daVit of Julia Long of California,
which has been delayed by the mail
The will was allowed by the Probate
Court several months ago, but the present
movement has originated among some of the
heirs who have felt aggrieved at the manner
in which they were treated by the testator
in the division of his property also claiming
that one of the witnesses to the instrument
was an interested party, and that the testator
not of proper disposing mind when the will
was made.
1t is said the witness, who is considered
an interested party, is Mr. George Gushing,
and the claim comes about in this way: Sew
eral years ago, when Coburn Hall was built
by an association, Mr. Gushing and his then
business partner took one share of the stock.
Subsequently the stock so deprecated in val
ue that when Mr.. Cushing and his partner
dissolved business relations, no account was
made of it, it being considered as not of suf-
fcient value, and when it was first claimed
that Mr.. Cushing was an interested party the
value of the stock owned by him was about
$3.50
AS regards Governor Coburn's men
tai soundness, considerable evidence has re-
Gently been taken for presentation to the
court, the tendency of which was rather to
prove the testator as of sound disposing
mind. If the judge decides to allow the case
to be entered as asked for, long case of liti-
CATION will be begun which will be of great
value to the lawyers engaged, and of serious
injury to Colby University, the Maine Gen
eral Hospital. the Maine Baptist Society, the
Maine Insane Hospital, the Hallowell Indus
trial School for Girls, and in fact to all per-
sons and institutions outside of the immedi-

The Silver Coinage Question.
1t is said that canvass of the Senate has
been made, and that it shows a majority of
seven against the suspension of the coinage
of silver.
Admission of Dakota.
The question of the admission of Dakota
will occupy much of the time in the Senate
after the recess. Senator Harrison, chair
man of the committee on territories, said to-
night that the demand of Dakota for admis-
sioR was just, but that whatever the result
the people of Dakota would do nothing un-
lawful or revolutionary.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana said that probably
the Territory had a right to admission, but it
must come undivided.
The bill to admit the southern half of the
Territory probably will pass the Senate, but
there is not much hope of its passing the
House.

LIFE SAVING STATIONS.
Sketch of the Work Done by Them.

There are over 200 life saving stations
along the sea coast and great lakes Of the
United States One is located at Ohio Falls,
Louisville, KY. During the last year the
number of disasters within the field of sta
tiOn operations was 81. The number of
persons on board was 2,439, of whom only IL
were lost The Investigations held in each
case of loss of life show that the persons
who periShed were entirely beyond the reach
of human aid Eight were lost by the break
ing up Of their vessel on an 0utlaying shOal
beyond reach of the apparatus, the terrific
surf and sea rendering boat service impoSsi-
BILE. These figures speak volumes for the ex-
cellent management and discipline of the
service, as well as for the personal skill and
courage of the men.
The last report of Captain ]. NJ. Richard

The Cheyennes.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The out
 break of Cheyenne Indians, which was threatened Saturday last, has been o:cwlhg for year or longer. An army officer here attributes it to dis satisfaction on the part of the Indians at the leasing of their reservation tc cattlemen. The Cheyenne reservation IS one of the largest Tn the Indian Territory. It comprises about 4,27o,- 900 acres. Or this amount more than
 100000 acres are controlled by cattlemen. who are grazlng vast herds. The Indians are divided on the ques. tion of leasing the land, the majority apparently being opposed to it. Re ports on file at the office of the con- missioner of Indian afflirs indicate that leasing of the lands was the org inal cause of the trouble among the Indians. These reports are from Agent Dyer, on the Cheyenne reser. vation, who ranks as one of the besl agents in ihe Indian service. He was appointed one year ago, and immed- lately after assuming his duties he in. formed the interior department tha, trouble was threatened, and that un. less precautionary measures were taken an outbreak would be inevitable. He asks that one thousand cavalry troops be sent to the reservation. He says his predecessor had not control of the Indians, and they had been allowed to do as they wished. Mir. Dyer re- ported to the commissioner of Indian affairs that they laughed at his (Dyers s) attempt to control them and boasted that the government could do nothing with them. He was in Washington some weeks ago, and urged that 5000 cavalrymen be sent to the reservation as soon as possible, "to scare the h. dlans," and show them that the gov ernment had a sufficient force 10 pun ish them. He thought that if thi, method of influencing them was adopted, they would be controlled without bloodshed on either side. He said the Cheyennes are as warlike as the Apsches, and that they were we'll armed and could put from r,7oo to I,soo warriors on the warpath at any time.

Sod Death of Dan McCanlay.

The citizens of Flagstaff will re-
 member Dan McCauley, who was in our town last fall registering voters. The Prescott Morning Courier, of the 24th inst, says: "Daniel McCauley, an old timer in this county, who en- joyed the respect and esteem of all, left Prescott Saturday last for the Lawier copper property, which he was interested in developing. At point four miles west of Iron Springs he was taken sick, dismounted from his horse, which he tied to tree. Here he re. mained all night, Sunday and Sunday night until Monday night, when a merciful death carried him beyond reach of trouble and suffering. He begged several passers-by to bring him to town, but they continued their journey. No good Samaritan came along that day, so the worthy man died by the roadside. When the news reached Prescott, his friends from the sherlfi's office went out and brought in the corpse. The coroner's jury rendered verdict that he came to his death from natural causes. A brother of deceased went to Califor- mia last week with under. sheriff Law Ter. This morning, at nine o'clock, there will be requiem solemn high mass for the soul of Dan iel McCauley, to which friends and relatives are cordially invited. Fun. eral will take place at o'clock this afternoon, from the Catholic church.
