Compromise In Parliament Which
Pieases the Delegates.

LONDON. May 28.-In the House Of Com
mons today William Henry Smith said that
on the promise of the Newfoundland dele
gates that bill should be passed to carry
out the modus vlvendi and the award OF the
arbitration commission under the modus vi
vendi agreement. the government proposed
that the Knutsford bill should be read Sec
ond time and the government would agree to
postpone the next stage of the bill three
weeks. Ii by then. Mr.. Smith added, the CO.
lonial legislature had passed such measure
as the one promised by the deleg ates, the
government would withdraw the Knutsford
bill Mr.. Smith then moved the second
reading of the last mentioned measure.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt protested
against the manner 10 which the colonial
office had treated the Newfoundland dele
gates.
James Allison Plcton, Liberal member for
Leicester. ridiculed the idea of passing a
measure to be superseded Dy another bill.
He moved that debate be adjourned. The
motion was lost. Finally an amendment
was adopted which the government con-
sldered binds the opposition in the future
treatment of the question to the admission
of French rights. and therefore is more val
uable than the second reading Of the bill,
which the government abandoned. The
Newfoundland delegates are much gratified
over the compromise and satisfied they will
be able to agree upon terms Of permanent

lar will be sent by the Maine Hotel Proprie.

meeting is, as usual. an address by the presi-
dent, the report of the secretary and
treasurer, and the election of officers for the
ensuing year and all unfinished business that
was laid over from the last meeting will be
disposed OF at this. In addition the regular
routine Of business the following are a few
the many questions that will be discussed
and acted upon:
First, to discuss the expediency of making
raise of prices OF every hotel in the state.
lt has also been suggested that we pledge
ourselves as hotel men, and all the influence
that we can bring to lear both separately
and collectively to the support of the politi-
cal party at the next state election that will
pledge themselves II elected, to cast their
votes and influence for the repeal of the pro-
hibitory law and place instead an optional
license law.
Again it has also been recommended that
we employ through our legislative commit.
tee men In the legislature who will do all In
their power to get what we might term
hotel or caterers privilege to furnish wines
to banquets and liquors to our guests In
their rooms. 1t Is not necessary for us to
state or explain why these and many other
important questions will be brought before
this coming convention, for as we all know,
the prohibit0ry law from its origin was se-
we're blow to the hotel business In this state
and has been from year to year
more and more intensified until
we have reached period that de-
mands, IL ever, all the unanimity Of strength,
power and influence that 1t is possible for us
to muster. Another very important ques-
tion to come before US at this meeting, is the
plan OF establishing an employment bureau
to be managed by us as an association. The
great and beneficial results of this new fea-
ture will be shown at this Convention In an
other great inducement that we are in hopes
to be able to offer to the visitors at Water
Vile at this time, and that Is, we expect one
or two OF the leading members of the nation
al association to meet and address US. Will
you meet US at this most important cOnven-
ton, when so many matters that interest US
all alike are to be acted on? You need not
reply by return mail, but let your presence
at this coming meeting be your affirmative
answer. This invitation is to you, whether
you are member Of the Maine hotel pro-
prietors' association or not. After your per-
usal OF this circular. please pass 1t to your
nelgbboring hotel man as an inducement to
him, also. One-half fare on the Maine Gem
trail railroad.

JOHN GULL COMES ROUND.
He Is Preparing to Do the Square
Thing In BehrIng Sea.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The President
this afternoon received a cipher despatch
from Minister Lincoln, in London, saying
that official notice was given today in the
House of Commons that bill will be intro
duced Monday to authorize the Queen to
prohibit British subjects from taking seals
in Behring sea. The question has engaged
the Presidents principal attention today
and he has had conferences on is various
phrases with Secretary Foster, Secretary
Tracy, Secretary Proctor and Acting Secre-
tary Wharton, One point considered was the
advisability of sending war vessels to Beh'
ring sea to reinforce the revenue cutters in
preventing the taking of seals In case a
closed season is decided upon. This flee t
would, of course, Cooperate with the En-
glish warships now in those waters In the
enforcement of the agreement as concluded
1t is understood the Secretary of the Navy
reported that three naval vessels could be
prepared for this service without much de.
lay. The news of Mr.. Goschen's action was
received with satisfaction at the State De-
partment. Generally 1t is taken as an..indi-
cation that the British government is pre-.
pairing to accept the condition imposed by
the President as preliminary to arbitration,
and cause British vessels to refrain from
sealing in the meantime.

BERLIN FALLS. n. H., May 2S-Our town
has been thrown into state of great excite
ment by the terrible work of an insane man,
John Donnelly, native of Bangor, Me-, who
has been at work on the Berlin Mills Com
pany's drive. He came down river about
three weeks ago. and at times has shown
signs OF insanity. He was not considered
dangerous, and therefore he was allowed
his liberty. AS result, he has committed
one of the most terrible deeds ever known
10 this town.
As he was walking up Main street this
forenoon, he suddenly rushed into Lefebre
q Kings meat shop. seized long knife used
for cutting meats and rushed out and up the
street, chasing several persons into stores
and houses. Thereupon Adam Lofo, po-
llceman, attempted to arrest him, and was
stabbed three times, once In the left arm and
twice in the breast, but the wounds are not
considered fatal.
The maniac then went to the store of Ii.
L.. Sternfeld and began to kick in the WIN
dows. Here he was stopped by William
Wilson, one of Berlln's we'll known aud
most respected citizens. The madman then
WI uou uPuu III. WuSUu, duu aIt6r snort
squabble with him thrust the knife into his
abdomen, making an ugly wound about six
inches long. Mr.. Wilson expired in about
ten minutes.
D0nnelly then started to run, but was met
by j. Howard Wight, young and promising
lawyer of Berlin, who dealt him severe
blow on the back of the head with base
ball bat, which felled the lunatic to the
ground in an unconscious condition. He
was then taken into custody by the police
and lodged in the station house.
The excessive use of liquor is supposed to
have melted the man to this terrible deed.
The case of MIR. Wilson is a very sad one.
He was one of the Oldest residents of Ber-
lin, foremost in all industries tending to
build up the town. He was one Of the
founders of the Berlin Band, and for several
years he has held the position of foreman in
the wood department at the Glen Manufac-
turing Company's mills.
He leaves a wife and two children. a
daughter about 20 years old, and a son II
years old; also two brothers and three SIS
ters. all of whom haze the deepest sympathy
