PARIS, April 26.-The French chambers
will reassemble tomorrow and will proceed
Immediately to discuss the new tariff. The
decisions OF the chambers on the tariff ques-
tion will be big with consequences both TO
the trade Of the country and the ministry
whose fate depends on the action of Parlia-
ment. The prospective failure of the cereal
harvest has altered the position of affairs
entirely since the government drafted the
tariff bill. The tariff commission has pro-
ceeded to increase the duties beyond even
the governments proposal. Edmond Lock-
roy opens the fire against protection. The
debate will last fortnight. The govern
ment, In view of the imminence of famine

porarily the tariff ON grains, and will proba-
bly, also be constrained, through the prospect
OF the European tariff combination, to re-

today's meeting at the Circus to protest

the meeting. M. Lockroy presided. Resolu-
lions were passed denOuncing the tariff

Public Library Trustees.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Trustees Of the Portland Public Library was
held Saturday afternoon in the Baxter Bull
ding, Vice President Drummond In the
chair. and this business was transacted:
The resignation of Hon. Chas. j. Chapman
as one of the trustees was received and ac-
cepted, and Rev. E. G. Cummings was elect
ed to the board in place of A. w. H. Clapp,
deceased.
A change in the bylaws was made, by
which the regular meetings will hereafter be
held on the last Tuesday of each month at
7.30 In the evening instead of the fourth Sat-
urday at 90 in the afternoon.
Appropriate action was taken by the meet
ing with regard to the bequest Of $1,000: re-
celved from the Clapp estate and vote Of
thanks given Miss Mary Clspp through
whose hands the gift came.
The bylaws were changed so that If a
quorum is not present at the meeting of any
committee, the number may be made up by
the appointment of any trustee, who shall
act for that meeting only.
The next meeting of the board will be on
the evening Of the last Tuesday in NAV.

INDIAN HUNTING GROUNDS.
Is tho Red Man Bound by the Maine
Fish and Came Laws?

An interesting question has come up be-
fore the Governor and Council In relation to
the treaty rights Of the Indians In this state.
1t will be remembered that not long ago
Levy Mitchell. one Of the brightest Of the
Passamaquoddy tribe, made the point that
his tribe should not be subjected to the re-
strictions OF the game laws Of the state be-
cause the cid treaties which his tribe made
with the white men specially stipulated that
the Indians should have the uninterrupted
right to hunt at their pleasure In the state.
These treaties probably were made at some
time between the French and Indian and
Revolutionary wars, when Maine was a
province Of Massachusetts. But 1t Is held,
of course. that Maine is under obligation to
carry out whatever treaty stipulations Mass
achusetts may have made. When the claim
came up before the Governor and Council.
Councillor Downes of Calais, raised the
point that the last treaty with the Passama-
qnoddies did not mention the subject of
hunting or fishing, and that therefore any
former treaties would be void. But Levy
Mitchell has been to Massachusetts studying
the archives; and on his return he stopped
over In this city. He says he found the last
treaty. which was negotiated about 1896. and
that 1t has no bearing whatever upon the
question Of fish and game. This last treaty
gave the Indians certain possessions in re-
ward for their services to the patriotic cause
during the Revolutionary War. Levy
Mitchell holds that treaty of this sort
should not be allowed to render void former
treaties which, he claims, gave the Indians
rights which the game laws of the state
should not be allowed to interfere with.
The question raised Is very interesting
from both legal and historical standpoint.
1t Is possible that 1t may be referred to the
Supreme Court for investigation and decis-
ion.
The effect Of allowing the claim advanced
by Levy Mitchell might have a widespread
effect upon the sporting interests of tae
state. Any sportsman might hire an Indian
guide and hunt at any time and to any ex-
