NOBLE MAxWELL's MILLIONS
Friends of the Wealthy Captain
Attest His Identity.

Boston, Mass, March "a Boston gen.
tlemen speaking of the Maxwell will case
says: 81 had only known Captain Noble
Maxwell intimately about six or seven years,
but know friends of his, and have seen
dispositions from gentlemen who had known
him nearly fifty years. Their dispositions
seem to show clearly that Noble Maxwell
was the man he represented himself to be.
The facts of this contest about the will, as !
understand them, are these:

a Charles Maxwell and granddaughter OF
Thomas Maxwell. She claimed that Noble
Maxwell was her fathers brother, and con-
sequently, her uncle. Mr.. Litchfeld claims
that he is entitled to a share Eof the estate.
He admitted that his uncle, Noble Maxwell,
died some time ago, but claims that the

the FISHERY TREATY.
Reply to Hon. w. L. Putnam's De-
fence of that instrument.
1,o AZ Editor of the Preas i:

To the Editor Of the Press:
The Argus of Thursday last contained a
long and labored defence of the new fishing
treaty from the Hon. W. l.. Putnam, one of
the commissioners appointed by the Presi-
dent to meet in treaty making counsel with
commissioners from Great Britain and Can
ada. A careful, unprejudiced review of Mr..
Putnam's communication will plainly indi-
cate that in his enumeration of benefits to
accrue to us from said treaty, he starts in ev-
cry instance from the standpoint of our
English neighbors virtually admitting the
headland theory, Strait of Canso navigation
and Interpretation of the 1918 treaty all to be
according to the version of these several
claims. and then reasoning after this general
admission of their claims that all the new
treaty accords to us is so much gained to us
from rights formerly solely the property Of
Canada.
wish now briefly to review in detail these
several claims of Canada and concessions

BANGOR TRIALS.
Stevenson krraigned-Stain and
Cromwelps Second Trial.

BANGOR, March 5.-The trial of Georges.
Stevenson, deputy sheriff of Clinton, for the
murder of Frank CONTAIN, of Providence, r.
l., otherwise known as Shorty, the tramp"
commenced in the Supreme Court room here
to-day. County Attorney Appleton appears
for the State and Col. Jasper Hutchings for
Stevenson. The trial will be very short as
there are but few witnesses. Stevenson
claims he did the act In self defense.
In the Supreme Judicial Court room this
afternoon, Attorneys Barker and Gillin filed
a motion for new trial in the Stain and
Cromwell case, alleging that the verdict was
against the law and the evidence.
Ten years have now passed since Cashier
Barron was murdered. These years have
been long to those who believe good charac-
ter ought to pass for something. In one
form or another the Barron case has been
before the courts for eight years. In 1880
the trustees of the bank brought suit against
Samuel Copeland, executor of BarrOn's es-
tate for an alleged deficiency in his accounts
In 1882 the court appointed auditors TO inves-
tigate the accounts and report In 1883 the
auditors report deficiency of $2,011. Mr..
Barron had left a life insurance policy for
$1,000, assigned to the bank as security for
his note for $4,000, which memorandum at
tached thereto said he intendedlas gift to
the bank. The hank collected the insurance
tors, and then turned over the remainder to
the executor. The executor then brought
suit for the amount retained by the bank, al
leging that the note was given for no e0nsld-
Grafton and therefore invalid. In 1885 the
court sustained this plea, and required the
bank to account to the estate for the whole
amount Of the insurance money, with inter-
est, and the executor to pay the deficiency
asceftained by the auditors. The interest
account made difference of about 500, for
which the executor entered a new suit, (which
has not been tried. The issues are now
pending before referees, one of whom is
Judge Morrill, of Auburn. But the issue of
the trial is likely to quash further civil pro-
ceedings, as they will now be largely uncivil
and irrelevant. To question the payment of
Just dues to the estate of a man murdered in
the defence of delegated trust, or to split
hairs over widows pittance, the survival
of martyrdom, would be q CHASTITY incongru-
ity. Says gentleman intimately connected
with the case: 81 think the referees occu-
pation's gone. !"

The autograph fiends are not all dead yet,
and recent revelations develop a distinctively
new class of "this abomination," so-called
by Mark Twain. Several days since Mr.,
Winn Lawton, an English hman who has lately
touched terra frma on this side of the Attain
tic, who is connected with the London
Times. visited the Department of Justice at
Washington in search of Col. Boteller. Mr..
Lawton said the Clerk of Pardons that her
Majesty the Queen of England had requested
him before his departure for America to Sc
cure, If possible, while in the United States
the autograph Of Gen. Jackson, whom she
much admired, and desire his autograph in
preference to all others. lie said the Queen
had large collection of the penmanship OF
distinguished Americans. While Col Botel-
Ter was in Congress Gen. Jackson wrote him
letter in which he said he hoped Congress
would pass bill prohibiting the delivery o.
mails on Sunday. In the opinion of the old
hero there was no necessity for the delivery
of letters on Sunday. This letter Col Botel-
Ter gave to Mr.. Lawton to be presented to
the Queen.

ruPPER rs DISAPPOINTED,
Because the Fisheries Protocols con-
tain Little Information.

OTTAWA. March 5.-In the House OF Com
mons today Sir Charles Tupper said the pro-
tocol of the fishery treaty arrived Saturday
and was being printed. He desired to ex-
press great disappointment at the contents
of the protocols. He had intimated the other
day that any agreement to the trade question
would be contained in them. 1t was neces.
sary to explain the position of the question
when he left Washington. The question
was not officially settled as to what the pro-
locals should contain, and how far the va
rious papers submitted TO the conference by
both sides should be Incorporated. Last
week he received a message from Chamber
lain that it was proposed TO make the proto-
col purely formal. and his (fupper's) consent
was asked to that proposition. The consent
syas given. He fully anticipated the proto-
coils would contain the proposals and counter
nroposals on either side and the answers to
chem. To his great regret, however, the pro-
focols contained nothing except simple
Statement of the various meetings held, the
treaty and the modns viyendi. He thought
n would be warranted IN placing In the
hands of the Opposition leader and Slr Rich
ard Cartwright, who would on wednesday
move a resolution IN favor OF uhIesITlctedi =
recinrocity between Canada and the United
States, the proposition of the British pleni-
r,Stentiary In reference to the question OF re-
cinyOcal trade between the two countries, as
it had an important bearing on Ine inaGIsI
before the House. he would cable Mr..
chamberlain as to the necessity OF having
fuler protocols published and would also
Communicate with Secretary Bayard and Sir
Lionel West on the subject.
The Protocols Published.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate at

tocols relating to the fisheries treaty. Inc

A new craze has broken out among society
people in New York city. 1t is to have busts
made of themselves in clay after the manner
of the Rogers statuettes. Husbands have
their wives modelled, wives their husbands,
and fond mammas their children. The work
is done by young Frenchman but recently
arrived, who has obtained the most wonder
full likenesses. 1t only takes him about an
hour. These heads, some of which are life
size and some smaller, are not very. expen-
sive for genuine works of art, which they
certainly are. The artist is very clever IN
catching the correct expression, and his
work promises to be the reigning fad for
some time to come.
