see If the town would exempt from taxation

b. +. Bartlett, j. p. Clark and w. Ell Stew
ems were chosen committee to confer with
those who lost buildings and aid in laying
out the lots in manner to make them more
convenient. and the danger Of fire less than
before. To do this lots will have to be d.

much to do in the question of rebuilding.
a committee was chosen to receive and

The general feeling is that the fire was of

strengthens. A large amount of properly

BATH BARcEs LOST.
Seven Men Drowned-Why Was This
Not Reported EarIler7

Boston, November 5.-The ocean tugboat
B. w. Morse arrived today from Norfolk
and New York with tow. She reports that
on her previous trip from Norfolk. the
barges Niphon and David Brown, which the
Morse had In tow. foundered off Cape Della
ware during the October oath gale. Four
men on the David Brown and one on Niphon
were lost. The captain and one man Of the
Niphon were the only survivors Of the seven
men comprising both crews. When the men
were picked up by the Morse. the captain
was clinging to the boats painter. The
other man was in dory. The David Brown
was the stern barge and was seen to founder
about IL o'clock that night. Owing to the
fury of the gale. the Morse was unable to
render any assistance without jeopardizing
the lives of those on the Niphon. The latter
foundered about two hours later. The
disaster is said to have been caused by the
matches being burst in. Botn barges were
owned by Morse & Co., Of Bath, and were
formerly ships In the merchant service. The
barges were not insured. Their cargoes Of
coal were probably covered by insurance.
Both were bound to Boston. Since the
disaster. the Morse has been at Philadelphia
and New York but failed 20 make any re-
port for reasons unknown.

cARIsTIAN COOPERATION.
Resolutions Adopted by the Interde-
nomInational Conference.

WATERvILLE, November Sat the meet
churches In this city Wednesday. these reso-
lutions were adopted:
Recognizing the evident desire of the Evangeli-
cal denominations of Maine to do more efficient
work for our common Lord, and
Believing that the Holy Spirit is moving Chris
tans toward the realization of the Masters prayer
"that they all may be one;'
We rejoice in the progress already made 10 this
direction, and desire to affirm our convictions IS
follows:
I.-That in our judgment the churches in our
cities and larger towns should cooperate on the
bases OF the Evangelical Alliance plans or others
That the work of our several denominations in
the state, through the Missionary societies. ought
70 De carried ON In the spirit OF cordial Christian
cooperation, and
That these missionary societies should mot use
their influence toward the formation Of so called
"Union churches" but should advise connection
with some one of the Evangelical denominations
lI-That church extension into destitute COM
munitieS should be conducted, so far as practica-
bic, according to the following considerations,
viz:
Ito avoid confusion, no community should be
entered by any one denomination, through its Of
ficial agencies without conference with other de-
nominations.
2-It shall be recognized as first duty in en-
church rather than to establish new one
3-The preferences OF the people in a communi-
ty should always be regarded by missionary
dBCulo duu luulfiQudl WOEkoISt dS VIGIL as Dy u6-
nOminational committees.
4-Those denominations having churches near
est at hand, shall other things being equal. be
recognized as in the most advantageous position
to encourage and aid new enterprise In their vi
cinity.
5-In case one denomination begins gospel
work in a destitute community it should ordinari-
ly be left to develop that work without other de-
nominatioDal interference.
6-Temporary suspension of church work by
any denomination occupying field should not be
deemed sufficient warrant in itself for entrance
into that field by anothor denomination.
1II.-We recommend to the state denomina-
tional bodies at their annual meetings in 1892
the appointment of permanent commission, to
consist OF three members from each denomlna.
tion, to which practical and concrete cases, in
volving matters of INSTRUMENTATION commu-
nifty, may be referred.
And we recommend that in the election Of the
above commission by each state body one men,
be annually chosen to hold office for three years
thus to secure that continuity which is essential
to the wisest results.
Also. That Rev. Messrs. L. III. Hallock, o. j.
Hancock, A. 7. Dunn ID. D., 1. III. w. Wnarff, e.
L. Adams and Professor A. w. Anthony be a COM
mittee to present this matter to their respective
bodies to their next annual meeting, and TO Sc
cure, If practicable the adoption Of the above
principles and plan of procedure.

WANTS TO BE ANNEXED
Hawaii and the New American Tariff
Law.

WASHINGTON, November 8. - DR.. Mott
Smith. minister of finance of Hawaii, who is
on special mission to this government,
called today on Secretary Blaine. His mis-
sion is to secure modification Of the recip-
rocity treaty between this country and Ha-
waii, the operation of which, so far as Hawaii
ia concerned, has been seriously affected
by the United States tariff law. As this law
grants bounty to producers of sugar in this
country, the benefits heretofore reaped by
the Hawaiian producers from the admission
of their sugar into the United States under
the treaty are negatived. DIR. Smith will
call to Mr.. Blaine's attention the matter of
iaying q cable between the United States
and Honolulu. DIR. Smith says there is a
widespread deslIe Ht ~ MS country ior annexa,
that such union would result in commercial
benefit to Hawaii.
