GLOUCESTER, Mass, March Ire
ports from Newfoundland say the issue of
licenses to American vessels for the pur-
chase of bait and other necessary outfits
will be refused this season, and the gov

government in the policy. The reason
alleged is that American vessels last sea-
son violated the licenses given them, and
bait purchased in Newfoundland was sold
to French at st. Pierce. Fishermen re-
Gently returned from Fortune and Placen-
tia bays say cutters are already patrolling
ed so that no violation of the bait act can
be accomplished. Cargoes can be pur-

ST. PAUL, March 14.-President Cakes
of the Northern Pacific, in an interview
with a representative of the Associated
Press to-day, said the dispute between
the Union Pacific and the Northern Pa
cific in Jefferson canyon, Mont, regard
ing which there has been several rumors
of serious trouble between employees of
the two roads, has been amicably settled.
The Northern Pacific buys the old grade
from the Union Pacific, the latter being
allowed, when It so desires. to use the
new road, which will be built Immedi-
ately. The line will cut off 100 miles of
the present route to Butte. and will afford
means for shipping Rocky Fork coal by
the short line.

SOCIETIES.
annual Dinners Where the Empty Chairs
Increase and the Diners Decrease.

annual Dinners Where the Empty Chairs
Increase and the Diners Decrease.
There was an informal organization
formed about half q century ago by
seven gentlemen Of st. Louis, who
agreed TO have a social dinner once a
year while any Of the members lived;
each mans chair was to be at the
table, empty, after his departure from
earth; all the survivors were to attend
the obsequies of each dead member,
and the last survivor was TO drink a
bottle of wine, duly preserved, after
the death of all the rest. The idea Is
not new, and the narrative of similar
agreement, some years older than this,
has been more impressively told.
A larger number of hale young Bos-
tonians, a dozen or SO, were dining to-
gcthcr, when suddenly some one be-
thought him of the homogeneous won
der what they would all be doing one
hundred years from then; and another
preached n proposal that they all form
a club on the spot for an annual din
ner, which should take place on the
anniversary of hat day as long as any
member survived. Somewhat warmed
us they we're with wine, the proposal
was adopted with instant reclamation,
and the final bottle Of wine, TO be un-
corkcd and drank on IA distant occa-
sion, which seemed to them all hardly
a thing to be realized, was put away
Immediately.
The dinner was followed by a pleas
ure party OH the Charles river, and
presently the subject of their agree
ment, an hour earlier, driftcd again

joked his nearest comrade about the
infirmities of age, and playfully gave
him a thump on the back. Both were
standing in the boat. The sudden
stroke caused the person addressed to
and was beyond recall before the
senses.
One by one the first gar in their
number widened until more chairs
we're empty than occupied, and the
dinner grew more and more somber as
the heads became fewer and whittier.
The last survivor, faithful to the COM
pact, sat YEARLY down to the last IN
niversary dinner, surveying eleven
empty chairs, and brought out the
memorial bottle of wine from its dusty
hiding. He broke the seal, drew the
cork, decanted the contents, and paused
in an overpowering rush of emotion.
The eleven Chairs seemed occupied by
shadowy forms; the past years rolled
back before him; he lived his life
anew; his eyes brimmed over and min
gled tears with the wine which he
tremblingly held up.
Then a faithful attendant who had
grown old IN his service, and now
stood behind Mr.. As chair, heard
to his amazement his master pledgipG
by name very one of the vaffished
friends vino used to fill those Ichairs.
He bowed his head in token Of Arecog-
milton to each name, and concluding
with the words, We'll soon meet
again, friends" drained his glass to the
dregs, and then sank back motionless
in Ills attendants arms. The last man
had Joined his comrades. This Incl
dent of real life has formed the sub
ject of many a narrative, and became
especially popularized by the affecting
little drama entitled 1.-The Last Man"
Unknown.

Imprisoned Miners.

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, March 14.-In.
tense excitement prevails at the Black
Diamond colliery, where by the falling Of
the pillars six miners have been closed in.
Workmen are driving a heading for the
purpose of Gberating their imprisoned
companions, but several hours must
elapse before it can be ascrtained whether
they are alive.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the labor
ers heard the faint sound of voices. Two
hours later they were enabled { hold
a conversation with two men who said
they were safe. A mass of ragged top
rock is hanging over their heads, however,
and may fall any moment. The other
four men were cut off from the first two
by a second fall of rock and their fate
remains unknown. At a late hour to-
night the work of liberating is going on
fast as possible.

All Denied.

AUCKLAND, March l4.-Advices Just
received from Samoa show there was no
basis for the sensational rumor of an en-
gagement between the Nipsic and Ger
man corvette Olga. Far from this, the
German officials on the island have en-
tirely given up their aggressive policy.
The proclamation of martial law has been
publicly Withdrawn and the Germans
have abandoned all claim to the right Of
searching incoming vessels for contraband
OF war. Both these steps have met with
the hearty approval of all foreign resi-
dents at Apia and have had a quieting
effect. Unusual tranquility prevails
throughout the island. Mataafa, how
ever, has a force of troops estimated to
be 5000 strong. Tamasse's army con-
sists of about 700. Men of war, both Ger
man and American. still remain at Apia
ready for any emergency that may arise.

HE DID COUNTERPART,
But Says He Hasn't for Long
Time Now"


Louis Christi was given hearing on
the charge of eOunterfeiting before
United States Commissioner McCafferty
Yesterday. The witnesses againt Christi
are a school teacher named GLITTER and
his wife. Christi is an engraver by
trade, and boarded with them. They
suspected him of c0unterfeiting. and say
they caught him in the operation of
working with appliances suitable to
mould bogus silver dollars, and told him
not to make counterfeit money. which
demand he agreed to comply with. On
the trial he admitted the witness teStl-
muny to be true, and said he had done
nothing at it since the talk with the
GillitZerS.
Deputy Marshal Brancket went to
Stearns county, about twenty miles from
Richmond, and arrested Christi upon
complaint being made by GLITTER, and
also seized an outfit of dies suitable for
counterfeiting, lot Of tin ard COM
position looking like silver and of about
the same weight. The dies are not
made of plaster paris, as is usual, but OF
wood lined with copper. The prisoner
had the general appearance OF an lg-
nurant German, but there were letters
seized which had passed between
Christi and a man named w. Gross, of
Saginaw City, Mich. These letters are
written in exceedingly clever hands

contained statements that one party
was TO manufacture money and the
other was to take the responsibility OF
giving it circulation. Upon hearing the
