THE RIGHTS OF TUGS.
Protest Against the Ruling in
the Mogul Case.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT FIRM
Americans Must Observe the Three
Mile Limit in Puget Sound and
the Straits of Fuca.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. oa-TSpecial. +
The members of the Washington delega-
ton have been asked by the owners of
steam tugs on Puget sound to. obtain, if
possible. a reconsideration of the treasury
ruling which compels tugs TO confine their
towing TO water outside the three-mile
limit when off the British coast. The de-
cision is recent one, which tug owners
say viii seriously interfere with the whole
feet of tugs on Puget sound. One firm.
the owners of the tug Mogul, against
which the decision was made, in their
argument TO show that they were only
practicing the usual customs, cited pre-
vious case when they had done precisely
the same thing. Upon this the govern
ment required a deposit of 500 for this
case, just doubling the difficulty ofthe
firm.
They say that they were acting under q
ruling of Consul Meyers, at Victoria, who
based his views on the treaty between
Great Britain and the United States of
June Is, 1876 The consul gave the opinion
that the firm had committed no violation
of the Canadian marine law The section
of the treaty reads: Provided, however,
that the navigation of the whole of said
channels and straits south of the 18th
parallel of north latitude, remain free
and open To both parties
Sfetson and Griffith, the owners of the
tugs, say that unless the treasury depart
ment can be induced to reconsider the rul-
ing the interests of a large fleet of tugs
will be ruined. Assistant Secretary
Spalding, of the treasury department.
said today that the government would
hold that the same rule must apply to the
tugs of both governments, and that would
equalize the business.
Mormon Wife Not q Competent Witness.
WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 2aa.-William Z.
Bassett in 1855 was found guilty of polyg-
amy on the testimony of his first wife,
from whom he was divorced after taking
his second wife. The former wife's testi-
mony was the only evidence procured. and
from her testimony Bassett was convicted.
He took an appeal to the supreme court of
Utah, contesting that the testimony was
not admissible, and when the territorial
court decided against him he brought the
case here. This court reversed the deci-
sion of the territorial court and holds that
the wife is an incompetent witness The
case has been remanded to the Utah courts
with directions to grant a new trial.

THE CENSUS TAKERS.

The census takers started out on
their route early Monday morning
and have been putting in some good
work ever since. These are the dis
tricts assigned to them: d. M. Ba-
con, st. Johnsbury Centre, ST. Johns
bury East, Paddock village, and all
the territory bounded by the Pas
SumpSic and Moose rivers; Harry
Bullard, all the territory between the
Passumpsic river on the east and
Main street on the west, extending
from Hastings bridge to Moose river
on the south; E. H. Ross, all the vii
lage west of Main street and Hast
ings hill and school district No. IA :;
Walter ]. Aldrich, all the territory in
st. Johnsbury east of PassumpSic
and south of Moose river and all the
territory west of the PaSsumpsic
river and north of the north line of
St. Johnsbury village and north line
of district II. The enumeratOrs are
given the month of June to complete
the census and are paid two cents
for each person reported, two cents
for each death. 10 cents for each farm,
20 cents for each mandatory and
FIVE cents for each veteran or widow
of a veteran.
The enumeratOrS find many people
who have heard nothing about the
census; in fact some who don't know
what a census is. One man who was
particularly hostile when first APP
preached, explained later that he had
mistaken the enumeration for a fruit
tree agent One woman refused to
give her age until the fine for refusal
was read her At another place one
of them went to a house, raped on
the door, and few minutes later a
Young woman with a child in her
arms and four more cliEging to her
skirts opened the door. Good

REPAIRING THE TELEPHONE LINE.

Manager c. c. Bingham operates
more miles of telephone line than
most people are probably aware of.
He has four exchanges, st. Johns
bury, Bradford, Newport and
Chelsea. His line extends from
Orfordville to the Canada line and
from Victory to Cabot with a branch
line from Bradford to Chelsea and
Randolph, over 200 miles in all. All
this line must be repaired each
season and it takes two men nearly
month to do it. Irving Locke, the
telephone boy, and E. E. Gage, an
electrician, went to the southern
terminal last week and will work
their way back day by day. They
have many laughable experiences
during this trip. On one occasion an
old lady, on whose barn the wire
rested, ordered it removed, saying
that it buzzed so that her hens
couldn't sleep al night.

usual every day while being cured DR..
Gage positively cures every such and
guarantees it or no pay Vim. J. Berry of

an injury to the spine which Others had failed
to reach. A T. Gay of Groton, Vt, had
