Train Brought to Complete Stand
Still in Maine Forest by Hordes Of
Creeping Insects-The Track Covered
for Eleven AIiles-A Hard Days Work
for the T'rain-Mcn.
New YORK, May GA dispatch 20 the
World from Lewiston, Me-, says: The
railroad men who went out with the
the Maine wilderness Sunday had
an experience which left them bills
tered, weary and disguised The train was
brought to dead stop in the woods by
millions of caterpillars and insects of many
varieties, which took a fancy to crawling
on the rails, and dehed every device es-
! sayed for removing them until another To-
connective was sent to the rescue.
A big engine and eleven fiat cars loaded
with sou ship knees the Canadian Pacifc's
first train for business started from Sebois
for BrownviLe Sunday morning. 1t had
gone but few miles when it ran
into q sticky, squirming mass, which
the locomotive wheels ground to q
greasy pulp that clogged the driving
wheels and prevented them from getting
any grip on the track. It was as if wheels
and rails had been thoroughly larded The
train came to standstill, and the conduc-
tor and engineer made an Investigation.
Ihey tried to start again, but it was no use.
The 'bugs" were too much for them. As
far as the eye could reach the little cater
pillars were in complete possession of the
track.
Sand was sprinkled on the rails This
enabled the engine to start, but the cater
pliers soon CREASED the ties again, and the
train halted. messenger was dispatched
to the Sebeis station and the situation
was telegraphed to- the manager of the
road He sent an extra locomotive and
a crew Of helpers to the assistance of
the beleaguered train. With force OF
men scraping and sanding. with an engine
to pull and another to push, the train crept
through the woods at snairs pace. All
day long, and after the sun had gone down,
the locomotives and men toiled to drag that
train from Sebois to Brownville. The
myriads of caterpillars covered tho rails
for eleven miles, When the train reached
its destination at last it bore the most ex-
hausted and disguised crew ever seen

nc Makes Vigorous Kick Against Il.
Restoration OF Malletoa as King Of sa-
moa' but tho American Commissioners
display Such Firmness That He Finally
Consents - The Question of Indemnity
Now Causing y Hitch In tho Conference.
BERLIN, May 90 From certain indica-
lions ut the rooms OF the American dele
gates, as we'll as at the quarters of the En-
gl1sh commissioners and at the German for
elgn office, 1t Is evident that there is some
serious bitch In the negotiations of the
Samoan commission MI. Phelps who Is
known as 1.-The peace-maker.n both in
the conference and in the working
committee, Is In evident trouble,
When asked as to the situation Commits
| sioners Phelps, Kasson and Bates say that
| there Is no great change, and that every
| thing Is progressing satisfactorily, Both
the German and English commissio ners re-
fuse to talk on the subject, but it is learned
from other sources that the United States
Government has instructed it's commission
ers to insist upon the return of Malietoa as
King.
A message ts said to have been received
from Secretary Blaine within the last
thirty-six hours directing the commission
ers to insist upon the restoration of the
atus quo, and saying that Germany
posed Malietoa as King and must
turn him as King. They may haggle
out indemnity or unit or dual or
partite government if they please,
ut Malietoa must be King. While tho
Germans have come to agree with all the
other views of the American commissioners
they are reluctant to accept this condition,
and point to the fact that Malietoa was par
lNna6 NV 49,
ming of the conference. This. they claim.
should satisfy America.
LONDON, May 22-It is reported that
Germany has finally consented to restore
King Malietoa. This action was taken
finally after prolonged and persisten eff
forts on the part of the American commits
sioners
But now comes another hitch in the nego-
dations The fresh difficulty grows out of
Cne claim for indemnity made by Germany.
Ahe American section of the conference
holds that If any indemnity is paid it must
be merely nominal sum. Germany, on the
contrary, maintains that in the conflicts
between the German forces and the Sa-
means the latter were invariably the
aggressors. Besides, the native partisans
OF King Malietoa were guilty of the
barbarous practices of beheading German
sailors, as we'll as inflicting upon the
wounded particular cruelties. These acts,
Germany insists, should entail upon Samoa
the payment of special indemnity. Earnest
efforts are making in committee to settle
the dispute, but the matter is likely to re-
quire reference to the plenary con-
ference.
LONDON May 22.-The Posts Berlin CORE
spondent Gays that the chief points of the
final protocol of the Samoan conference
are: First, that the government of Samoa
be arranged upon tr1partite basis, En-
gland being accorded position similar to
that Of arbitrator. The second point of i'm
portance is that dealing with land COM
mission. England will have a large infu-
ence in the appointment OF a supreme ju-
dicial functionary

WINNIPEG, Mar, May 22-Word has just

which took place near Fort Mcleod last
week between band OF Blood Indians on
one side and force composed of soldiers,
cowboys and Gros Ventures on the
other. The Bloods have lately been
stealing horses from the Gros Ventres
and the latter, assisted by soldiers and
cowboys, made an effort to recover the
stolen animals. As usual the stories as
to the number Of killed are conflict
ing, but it is certain that quite
a large number were slain. Most
OF the bodies were carried away
by friends OF the fallen, but three or four
were discovered on the field minus scalps.
The Bloods appear to have gotten the
worst of the encounter. They got away
with most of the stolen horses, and are
now being closely pursued
