The Aroostook Republican makes strong
appeal for the repeal of the law that allows
timber on this side of the Canadian border
TO be cut by men from New Brunswick and
run to st. John, where it is manufactured
into lumber and returned to the United
States free of duty. The Republican de-
clares that not less than fifty million feet of
lumber, in the shape of logs, are annually
foated down the Aroostook river to New
Brunswick, to be worked UP by foreign labor
in foreign mills, and thus depriving Aroos-
took of the great benefits to be derived from
the manufacture of its own lumber. To cut
the logs for this amount Of lumber and get
; them TO mills on the Aroostook river would
require the labor of 1850 men and $50 teams,
and would involve the expenditure Of about
$225.000 simply for labor and exclusive of
the cost of stumpage. To manufacture this
lumber will give employment to 500 men at
an annual expenditure of $4,000, making
the total amount annually paid on t for labor
$4,000.

New YORK, April 1.-the body of
Meyer, the clerk who was murdered by
his employer, Philipsen, soapmaker.
at Copenhagen, was found to-day at the
New York custom house concealed in
cask of lime, or plaster, which had ar
rived per steamer Thingvalla some
time ago. The cask had been shipped
from Copenhagen Jan. 49, consigned to
"Berresford Bros, Racine, Wis"
Wells, Fargo & Co. were named as for
warders. The consignee prepaid the
steamship charges, and gave his name
said to contain chemically eprepared
lime-plaster. On arrival here on
Feb. it was sent to the
appraisers stores and examined by the
removal of few pounds of the con-
tents. 1t was then reheaded and set
aside to be called for. Wells, Fargo &
Co. paid the duty of $3.50. and wrote
Berresford Bros. twice to remit bill of
lading and the cask would be for
warded. The second letter was re-
turned by the postmaster with the in
formation that no such firm was known
at Racine. Wells. Fargo & Co. then
wrote civilian Smith," at COpen-
hagen, with no result. When Phillip
sen confessed in Hamburg few days
ago that he had murdered Meyer and
shipped the body to America from
Copenhagen, the officials OF the Thing
vale Steamship company were noti-
fed, and to-day they cabled their New
York agents to look for a cask shipped
OH the Thingvalla Jan. 13. The Danish
consul here was also notified. The
agent sent the consul, and representa-
tive of Wells, Fargo & Co. went to the
appraisers stores and had the caSk
opened. After digging away some of the
plaster they uncovered mans head,
and finally the whole body was ex-
humed. 1t was clad In plain clothing,
and was well preserved. The various
parties engaged in the search at once
dropped the matter, no one desiring to
take charge OF the body. Wells. Fargo
& Co. said they were willing to stand
$3.50 loss, and would put in no claim to
the goods. The consul had no instruc-
tionS to claim the body, and the steam
ship company is not interested. The
appraiser will probably have to hold the
caSk and its contents until the Wash
ington authorities direct its disposal.

BUTTE, Mont. April 14.-The most
decisive Democratic victory ever scored
in Butte was obtained here today. This
city is the closest politically in Mon
tana, and was the scene of the fraud OF
throwing out the vote of the Home
stake Tunnel precinct by Republican
canvassing board last fall, by which the
election was thrown into the courts
and two sets of senators sent
10 the United States senate. The
Democrats and Republicans were
equally resolved on vindicatiOn at
this springs election. The right or
wrong of the throwing out OF the vote OF
Precinct "a was the argument used in
the campaign, and both sides bent every
energy. The election passed off quietly,
the excitement being subdued. The
election was conducted according to the
Australian system. There was no Op-
portunity for fraud, or the buying of
votes, the voters being absolutely Sc
cluded in the booths. Consequently
the result was in doubt at the
close OF the polls at 6 O'Clock.
Both sides claimed the victory. At $50
o'clock the count had been completed
in every ward, and showed a magnif-
cent Democratic victory. Henry &.
Walton was elected mayor by 261 major
ity over DR.. E. ID. Levitt, Republican. Six
out of seven Democratic aldermen we're
elected. The only Republican elected
on the entire ticket was the alder
man from the Second ward, who
had only three majority. The Second
ward is strongly Republican, the ma
jority of judges were Republican, and
tenDemOcratic votes were thrown outbe-
cause the voter scratched out the name
of the Republican candidate instead of
putting cross opposite the name of the
Democratic candidate. The city is
Illuminated tonight, and crowds OF
happy citizens are listening to congrat-
ulatory speeches in the street. In Ana
conda, twenty miles from Butte, the
Democratic candidate for mayor was
elected by over 400 majority.
Maginnis and Clark Notified.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Maj. Ma
ginnis and Mr.. Clark, the Democratic
contestants for the Montana senator

patches from friends in Butte, Mont,
announcing that at city election held
there to-day the city had gone Demo
cratic by from 200 to 400 majority. Mayor
Kenyon, who signs the dispatches, says
it is a clean sweep for the Democrats i'll

Pan-Americans Favor Treaty

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Pan
American conference to-day adopted
the report of the committee on banking
and the supplementary report of the
committee on customs regulations, rec
ommending the establishment OF a
central union bureau of information
and statistics concerning customs. The
report of the committee on eXtraditiOn
was taken up. discussed briefly, and
laid over until tomorrow for action.
The recommendation of the committee
is that the Spanish-American govern
ments shall adopt the report on the
project of international penal law draft
ed by the South American congress of
MOntevideo, in 1883. as being
the best model to be fol-
extradition treaties which they may
make with each other, while at the
same time the Spanish-American gov
ernmentS are recommended to conclude
with the United States special treaties
of eXtraditiOn founded on other prin-
ciples, more suited to the peculiar cir
cumstances and habits OF legislation Of
the latter country and more in har-
mony with the other treaties thus far
concluded between the United States
and many other nations, both of Europe
and America. The report is made for
the committee by Jeronimo Zelaya, the
delegate from Honduras, who presented
an elaborate analysis of the Montevideo
treaty. That treaty contains five titles:
Jurisdiction, asylum eXtradition, pro-
ceedings for extradition- and preventive
arrest: these five titles being SUBJ
divided into fifty-one articles. A mem
Der of the committee, DR.. Saenz-Pena,
of the Argentine Republic, reported the
treaty to the MOntevideO congress.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April 1.-the
senate committee, after session of an
.hour-and a half, this afternoon reached
conclusion. Three propositions were
agreed to:
First-That the secretary Of the treasury
shall nuy 100000 ounces of silver bullion
monthly ana issue notes i'll payment for the
same, the notes to be redeemaDle in bullion
or lawful money.
Secondhand national banks shall be al
lowed to issue notes to the full par value of
the bonds deposited to secure their redemp-
ton, which would add 10 per cent to the
volume of national currency.
Third-That the hundred millions retained
in the treasury for the redemption of treas
ury notes be put into circulation.
1t was proposed i'm order to induce ma
tiOnal banks to take out the additional
10 per cent of circulation, to abolish tine
tax now levied on bank circulation;
but this was withdrawn. The commit
tee will meet the house committee to-
morrow morning and endeavor to come
to an understanding with the members
of that body. to be reported to their re-
spective caucuses for adoption. The
house caucus which was to have been
held tonight has been postponed.

ST. CLOUD, Minn., April 14.-The au-
