Malepecque, P. E. l., by Canadian officials.
He said he cleared from Gloucester for the
Magdalene Islands with salt, barrels and
provisions to assist American fishermen, but
stopped at Malepecque and was detained two
days when word came from Ottawa to let the
vessel go. At Magdalene Islands he was
told he could not put anything on board fish
ermen or take cargoes from them, as that
was his mission to supply and bring homo
fish.
Captains Russell, Terry, Greeuleaf and
others testified how they were treated in the
bay this season. Other evidence was taken
from owners and skippers.
The senate committee on fisheries contin-
ued its investigation this afternoon with SEN

tine vessel then was in the command of anoth

notified of the seizure, when orders were
given to impose $1,000 fine. The owners in
gloucester refused to pay the fine, when the
vessel was taken to Port Hswkesburv and an
armed guard placed on board. My remon-

Coombs gave their experience in the North
Bay this season which was immaterial.
The hearing then closed. The senators
will leave for Portland in the morning.

Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. 5.
News has been received here that hostile
Apaches are still out and the capture of
Geronimo did not end the Apache war.
Lieutenant Britton Davis, recently of the U.
5. Army. is manager of the Cerrelitos rancho
in the state of Chihushua. Eight hostile
Apaches rsided the rancho during his absence
and drove away twenty mules. The Apache.
have evidently been camping for months

Davis says that Old Msngus was the leader
of the thieves. Msngus has been for twenty
years the terror of the border. He is regard
ed as far abler tscticisn than Geronimo and
is imbued with deeper hatred of the whites.
Msngus and Geronimo are half brothers
Lieut.. Davis says that he pursued Msngus
and his band to within twenty-five miles Of
FL Paso, where he abandoned the trail, which
led in this direction, not. however, until he
had learned that Msdgus had been Joined by
the three bucks of Geronimo's party who es-

naplt of meeting each other once a week Soc
Tally at Col. Fred N. Dow's, all of republi.
can political opinions and occasionally they
indulged in pleasant suppers at Millet's Cot
tage at the Cape.
In June last they conceived the idea of
forming themselves into political and social
club, after the style of those in Boston. The
Norfolk club, for instance, that meet once
week at one of the leading hotels, indulge in
an excellent dinner, and after cigars listen to
some leading statesmen, politicians or busi-
ness men on matters especially interesting to
the country. At the time the idea proved
taking with the leading republicans of the
city, cottage was leased on the old Delsno
place at Cape Elizabeth, a caterer was
secured, the house prettily fitted up, and on
Saturday afternoons during the summer the
members enjoyed clam bakes on the rocks,
famed by glorious breezes from old ocean,
and there entertained many of the prominent
speakers from abroad who took part in the
late political campaign. So popular has
this club become there has been a
great demand for membership, but
If we are not mistaken the ranks of the in
sttuton are now full. The principal officers
are Col. F. F. Dow, president; Col. H. Hill,
secretary, and Albion Little, Treasurer. 1t
is the intention of thi. club to give dinner
annually to each republican governor elect,
and this banquet this evening was the first of
that nature. At $50 Col. Dow appeared in
the parlors escorting Messrs. Bodwell, Robie,
Blaine, Hale, Reed. Dingley, Mayor Chap
man and other distinguished guests, who were
heartily received by the club. At 8 dinner
was served. Plates for 100 were laid. The
floral decorations were very handsome and
the tables were lined in the shape of letter
B.
Col. Dow presided with Bodwell on his
right and Robie on his left. The chairman
introduced Governor-elect Bodwell who fully
excused himself from making an extended
speech inasmuch as he was soon to express
himself at length on matters pertaining to
the welfare of the State.
Speeches were made by Governor Robie,
and Hon. James G. Blaine, who spoke at
some length. Mr.. Blaine closed with few
words concerning the pleas ant recollections
he had of Portland and her people. As he
finished speaking he was loudly applauded.
