An Early Morning Blaze.

About one o'clock on Friday morn
ing last the citizens Of our borough
we're aroused from their slumbers by
an alarm Of fire, and we're not long
10 locating the coDAagration, which
proved to be the building recently
purchased of Capt. Knox by Mrs. w.
T. Clark, situated just north of Dis.
trict Attorney Clark's dwelling, on
Elm St. Mrs. Clark had shortly be.
fore opened a millinery store there,
aud at the time Of the fire was living
in the building, her sister, Miss Reilly,
being her only companion, her hus'
band having been called away on
business the day before. The ladies
were awakened by the smoke which
had become almost sitting in their
room, and the fire had gained such
headway that it was with difficulty
they made their escape. When the
people arrived it was found impossible
to save the building, the whole inside
being enveloped in fame, and they
applied their energies toward the
saving Of the District Attorneys house,
and did So only by the most persistent
effort, but not until the side next the
fire had been pretty badly scorched
and blackened.
The burned building was of no great
value aud its loss is a comparative
light one, the heaviest loss being the
goods and househould effects of the
occupants, which is estimated to be
between 5000 and $500, with no in
surance. The origin of the fire is moi
exactly known, but is supposed tc
have been caused by a lamp. which
either exploded, or had been lef
burning where it came 10 contact with
the wood work.
The fire extinguisher was prompt,
on hand, and again got in its work II
fine style, it being the means of saving
Mr.. Clark's residence. What We neet
is another machine just like it ant
then our town will be pretty we'll pre-
pared TO fight FIRE. The loss of tim
in re charging the machine, although
perhaps not three minutes, is still sui
ficient to give the fire a fresh start
and with two machines steady streau
could be thrown, thereby keeping tn
blaze under control and preventing i,
spread to adjacent buildings. Th
5 one we now have has paid for itse
. FIVE times over, in fact did SO at tn
. first fire We had after it's purchas,
The taxpayers of the borough coul
I not lay out their money in a MOI
q beneficial way at this time, as there
q no telling where the next blaze wi
issue from, and no reasonable ma
, will object to the outlay.

SIR JOHNS MISSION.
The RehrIng Sea and Fisheries Ques-
tIons Call Him Abroad.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 10.-Sir Charles Tup-
per said to reporter yesterday, that he un-
derstood Sir John Macdonald intended vis-
iting England during the month of August,
for the purpose of placing before the imper-
ial authorities the facts in connection with
the action Of the United States government
in enforcing their contention for exclusive
privileges in Behring sea. The Dominion
government have always opposed this con-
tention on the part of the Uaited States, on
the ground that Russia, the first owners of
the Alaskan peninsula, had not, and never
claimed any exclusive rights in the waters
known as Behring sea.
1t is more than probable that before next
fall, negotiations for the settlement Of the
exclusive privileges claim will be fully un-
derway. For several years past the Cana
dian geological survey have been gathering
facts in reference to the boundary between
Alaska and Canada. The settlement Of this
boundary question is one of vast importance
to 6oti Canada and the United States as it
will decide to which country belongs the
most valuable Of the Yukon river gold de-
posts, which OF late years have excited so
much comment. Sir John will take with
him all the information on that subject now
In possession of the Dominion authori-
ties.
1t is also rumored that one of the chief OBJ
jects of the visit is to discuss with the minis
try OF the day the much complicated fisher
les question, and to decide, II possible, in
what way the vexed question may be settled
compatible with the dignity and right Of
Canadians. The imperial authorities are
fully alive to the Importance Of an early set
tlement of the fisheries, and other difficulties
existing between Canada and her neighbors
to the South. Reports of the growing feel
ing in Canada in favor of commercial union
and annexation have reached England, and
1t 1t Is thought that settlement Of the many
tries will tend to check that feeling. 1t is
also rumored in political circles that the
queen has long desired to confer upon the
veteran premier of Canada additional hon
qrs, and that he Will return to Canada as
Lord Macdonald.

Maine CAPITALISTS.

The Augusta Lumber Company is now
running full time with force Of seventy
five men. Fifty thousand feet are sawed
daily The logs left from last years drive
will not be all sawed for at least two weeks.
1t is predicted that at least one-fourth of the
logs cut last winter, will be left high and
dry by the protracted drought, and rise in
lumber may be anticipated.
The Totmans of Fairfield, had a drive Of
100000 feet Of lumber on Tomhegan when

The second annual meeting of the St.
Crolx Shoe Company was held at its Office in
Calais Monday, May 9th. The report of the
directors showed material increase in the
amount Of business done over the first wear.
A dividend of six per cent was declared.
which is to be used in improvements on the
plant. 1t was voted to equip the factory
with an approved system of automatic
sprinklers, which will greatly reduce the
cost of insurance.
The people of Calais are talking of estab-
fishing new industry in their city. The
Calais Times says it is believed that there
will be no difficulty in raising bonus suffi-
cient to establish new industry as soon as
1t is definitely decided what kind of a facto-
ry to build, and some agreement Is made
with Western parties. just now the idea OF
cOtIOu lhCtOIg nOlus uISb pace, as the larg-
est owners in the st. Croix mill say IL won1d
have paid better had it been located on the
Calais side of the river. Authorities saw
that mill can be run in Calais by electricify
conducting power from the falls on the river
Much of the correspondence is being made
with view to ascertaining the feasibility of
this plan.

COLUMBIA, Tenn, May 1O.-The principal
features of the Scotch-lrish congress today
were addresses by G. Kelly of Nashville,
and Commissioner of Pensions Tanner. In
the course of his speech Corporal Tanner
said: I'VE hear great deal today about
the pension list in the United States. Among
the scores of thousands upon that roll of
honor there are 1851 mo one of whom draws
from the treasury of the United States S3.76

every one of the certificates of pension the
figures of which l have named, and reissue
them on the basis of truth. No man ought

States for less than 81 per week, though

BRAZIL WILL NOT Be REPRESENTED
But the Five American Republics
Will Send Delegates.
The Coming Conference of Sister
Nations of America.
Topics Of the Day Reported From the
National Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-John B. Hender-
son of Missouri, had conference with the
Secretary of State yesterday in regard to the
meeting Of the American Congress In 0cto-
Der next. Mr.. Henderson Is one Of the dele
gates from the United States to the Con-
gress, and he is endeavoring to have meet
ing Of the United States delegates called.
Mr.. Henderson said:
"We must organize and distribute the
work for there is great deal to be done be-
fore the Congress is held and II each Of us
attempts to do 1t all it will be done very bad
ly."
The Secretary Of State promised that he
would call a meeting of the delegates in the
near future. Mr.. Henderson will sail for
Europe Saturday, but his trip will be short
one. He learned some interesting facts at
The Department concerning the Congress. 1t
seems that the five Republics which were
invited to participate have signifed their in
tention Of sending delegates, but that the
Empire Of Brazil. which was the only empire
invited to participate. will not be represent
ed. The reason is said to be that the death
of Dom Pedro is expected at any time and
at his death revolution is not improbable
An effort may be made to establish a repub-
lican form Of government. The Royalists,
now in power. fear that If they send repre-
rentatives to this American Congress they
may be committed by the action Of the Re-
publics represented to policy which would
embarrass them in the future.
