THE DEATH or RARRuNDIA.
A Merchant Vessel Could Not Legal
Iy Defy His Pursuers.

WASHINGTON, August 3i.-The State De-
partment has taken measures to secure full
particulars of the shooting of Gen. Barrun-
dia on board an American vessel lying In
the port Of San Jose by officers of the Guate-
malan government The case involves the
Identical principle which occurred In
Nicaragua in 1885 when Secretary Bayard
informed our minister to Central America
that the Nicaraguan government had the
right to take the man wanted from on board
an American merchant vessel providing
that she was in Nicaraguan waters. 1t is
said cases have frequently occurred in which
revoluti0nlsts and others wanted for ofens-
es, have been seized by the Hawaiian gov
ernment while on British merchant ships
and Great Britain has not protested, thus
establishing diplomatic precedent. Had
the vessel been a man:of war, Barrqndia
would not have been subject to jurisdiction
as war vessels carry everywhere the jur is
diction OF the country whose flag they fly.

BIuDEEoRD EXCITED.
what Is Said There Concerning the
Saco Aldermen.

BIDDEFoRD, August 30-There is much
political excitement here tonight because Of
the oversight Of the Saco board of aldermen
in not holding meeting between August IL
and IS to revise the check lists, according to
the requirements of the statutes. The Saco
officials admit their error though they claim
that all other requirements relating to the
election have been fulfilled. The Biddeford
aldermen who were recently arrested and ar
raigned in the United States District Court
charged with neglect of duty. look upon the
Saco aldermen's neglect as parallel case.
Leading Biddeford Democrats are anxious
to push the matter and it Is probable that the
arrest Of the Saco aldermen will occur with
In few days. Counsel has been engaged.
Another conference will be held tomorrow.
and 1t will then be decided what course to
take. The Democrats claim the Saco Alder
mems error will invalidate the election and
that If the district gives amajority for Con-
gressman Reed his election will be con-
tested.

LEWISTON, August 30.-Following is from
letter sent by Messrs. z. f. and F. FL.
Briggs of Auburn, to the management of the
Eastern Maine Fair at Bangor:
Your advertisement stated as usual that nation
al rules would govern your meeting and our en-
tries were sent with that understanding. But
Morse shows that you wish to barter away the
protection offered your patrons by the National
Association for an attraction which, while it may
prove financial advantage to you cannot be had
without jeopordizing the rights Of your patrons
and exposing them TO the liability Of frauds and
impositions. While you have perfect right to
try this experiment if you wish we do not pro-
pose to be party to IL, and therefore shall not
exhibit our horses at your fair or trot colts in
your races. Yours truly,
