: The speaker in opening his remarks said:
"We are here this evening as citizens to con-

a matter touching our homes and not touch

are to consider matters of a moral character,
to consider If we would obtain the largest
prosperity in our city and the highest possi-
BILE state Of morality. We are not here to
make any charges. We are here to tell the
citizens plain facts. We find it sometimes
pifficult to get the truth before the people.
Sometimes our papers will not publish what
we want them to. and what we know to be
true. 1t is very common now to impugn the
motives of men, and want to say in the be-

As Schooner Nellie Bowers Struck On

The schooner Nellie Bowers, coal laden,
from New York, bound for Portland, was
wrecked at about O'Clock Saturday evening
on the east point Of Richmond Island.
Tho crew consisted Of eight men. all told,
of which every officer, Captain Geo. Spear.

drowned, and four seamen were saved.
The saved men say that in the thick snow
they made the whistlinS buoy off the Cape.
but did not recognize it, and little later
made breakers of the Cape shore. but did
not know where they were. They tackled
ship, standing to the westward wind south
easD, and again made breakers.
1t will be seen by this that they were be-
tween the west headland Of the Cape and
Richmond Island. Finding breakers on both
sides and under the lee. the anchors were let
go. She held on for several hours, during
which time the weather cleared up and they
saw the Cape lights and at once recognized
their perilous situation. The sea and
wind was quite as heavy as when the A. X.
Weeks was anchored in nearly the same
place. As nearly as can be told by the
mems account, the vessels chains parted at
O'Clock when the captain exclaimed, "Erery
man for hinlselfl" The four seamen sprang
into the boat and pushed of, the captain,
the two mates and cook stuck by the vessel.
There scued men say that the !captain once
called to them to come back, but that it was
too late. They could not get back. The
men in the boat landed all right in cove on
the east side OF the island, but the schooner
struck on the east point some distance from
the shore, broke in two and soon went to
pieces. Only one Of the unfortunates on the
schooner was seen after she broke up, and
he drifred near the shore on piece Of plank.
and why he was not rescued is not fully ex-
planned.
Sometime before noon the next day, the
life-saving crew became aware that there
were ship-wrecked men on Richmond
Island 1t being too rough to launch their
boat they procured oxen and landed her TO
the west side of the Cape. rowed to the
island and brought the four men TO the life
saving house. The men who escaped were
all foreigners.
The vessel was about go tons, belonged in
Rockport, Me-, and was owned by Carlen

considerable quantity Of copper and wreck

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Congressman Reed on the Work Of
the Negotlators.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Congressman
Reed of Maine, in talking of the treaty to-
day, said: 1T would take too much of my
time to criticise the treaty in detail, but one
or two things in general are worth saying.
The fundamental mistake of our negotiators
was in taking the Treaty of 1918 for basis.
Seventy years of increased civilization are
between us and that time. What had to be
stipulated for in 1918 Christian nations now
give from an educated sense of justice for
nothing. Those are the things we seem to
have won. just think of a President Of the
United States enumerating as one Of the
triumphs OF his diplomacy that ihe extorted
by treaty from friendly Christian Power in
the year 1888 that ship in distress needing
repairs might take out her cargo, and trans
ship and sell it if necessary.
''The modus vivendi is to be brought about
meanwhile. A tonnage tax is not method
of living, but method of dying. Then for
the future we are offered in return for our
markets the things and only the things we
give to the Canadians free Of all conditions.
Why, for those very markets there is not a
Canadian who would not give us all we had
under the treaty Of 1870. 1t does really look
as II wise instinct taught our nSnermen 10

sioners and our Congress to reject the Presi-

Scheming to Save Money Out of the

BANGOR, Feb. 27.-There is prospect OF
warm contest between old Peter Bennett
and the officers who brought about the ar
rest of Foster and Whitney, over the pay
ment of the reward of $4CC0 offered by Ben
nett for the recovery of the money which he
lost, said to be $4,000 at the time. The
money has been found, and is now in safe
in Bangor, but the difficulty is that there is
only about $4,000, one-third less than the
sum alleged to have heen stolen. Now Ben
nett will claim that as his treasure is not all
returned he is not holden to pay tie re-
ward, or at least only portion of it. The
officers will demand the whole, and it would
not be singular If litigation arose. By agree
ment, it is stated, Sheriff Sylvester and A.
d. Horne, who made the arrest, and Sheriff
Brown of Bangor win share the reward, the
division of it being left to Judge Peters.

LEWISTON, Feb. 26.-Novel instructions
have Just been issued to the Democratic al
dermen by their political managers, which
If carried out, will cause unprecedented ex-
element during next weeks revision OF the
checklist. They will claim that they have
the right to put the name of every assumed
legal voter on the lists of their respective
wards that the provisions of the Maine law
warrant them in so doing, and that conse-
quently they will and must obey the law
rather than a majority of the aldermen.
They also hold that after such names are
added motion to strike the name off will be
illegal and therefore out of order. The po-
litical situation is waxing warm, and Mayor
McGillicuddy's strings having been well
laid by his workers to control the action of
last nights caucus, he will probably be re-
nominated. The Republicans are working
