erty is In good repair, the store p operty all
comparatively new, and has no equal on the
kennebec river as u wholesale and retail gro
Gerry store. All freight can be taken to and
from the cars without trucking. thereby saving
more than the price Of store rent in trucking
yea-ly, as there can be number OF carr loaded
and uuloadeN at the many doors at the same
time. The extensive business that Fletcher
did while there, and the amount done for the
next few years afterward. speak loud in its
praise rs nue business stand; and the facil-
ties are such that with one or more BUSINESS
men who Will work together II can be largely
increased from what 1t was then, as there IS Il
nne chance TO add a portabla grist mill and
thereby save great deal of expense that they
have previously been TO.

A Statement That Salisbury Has Signifled
His Willingness to DO So.

A Statement That Salisbury Has signifled
His Willingness to DO So.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Secretary
Blaine's plan for the settlement of the
Behring sea and Newfoundland fisher
les difficulties by arbitration is pretty
certain to be carried out. The postpone
ment of the Sayward case until October,
in the United States supreme court, was
an administration move in this direc-
ton. All this confirms the Washington
dispatch few weeks ago, in which the
statement was made that Secretary
Blaine would conduct no further nego-
tiations with Canada, looking toward
closer commercial relations, until the
Behring sea and Newfoundland fisher
les questions were first settled. It was
stated that Sir Charles Topper was on
his way to England to consult with
Lord Salisbury with reference to Mr..
Blaine's ultimatum, and all this has
been confirmed.
It il known now that Lord Salisbury
has notified Sir Julian Pauncefote. the
British minister here, that England is
willing to have these troublesome ques-
tions considered by an arbitration board.
When MIR. Blaine was informed Of this
fact, the Ssyward case was at once laid
over until fall. Diplomats here predict
a reciprocity treaty when these cases
have been disposed OF.

Great Military Hero-PrsPar.tions for

BERLIN, April 25.-The announcement
Of Gen. Won Moltke's death came like a
shock on the German people. He had
attended the reichstag in the afternoon
but returned home in his usual health.
Al; 9As as he was about to retire, he
was attacked with heart disease and
lived but few minutes.
=. Won Moltke was born Oct. 2, 1900,
and his Goth birthday was the occasion
Of q great celebration. Count Won
Moltke entered first into the Danish SER
vice, being Of Danish descent, but
shortly afterward, in 1872, passed into
the Prussian army. In 1885 he made
XoYagesto the East, where at the re-
quest of the sultan he undertook i'm
portant military reforms in the Turkish
service. Returning to Prussia, he was
appointed chief of staff in 1856 and aide
de camp to Prince Frederick William.
He devised the campaign of 1866 against
Austria, and is credited with having
laid out the plans Of operations for the
Franco-Prussian war, and he was the
chief military director on the German
side in that great struggle. He has
since been the chief military figure in
Europe, keeping up his activities even
until his death.

INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY,

WASHINGTON, April 24.--The interna-
tional railway commission met and ad-
journed until Feb. l, 1892. The bust
ness of the commission is practically
finished and this recess was taken to
await the reports of the parties now in
the field making the survey. Ex-senator
Davis, Of the commission, says the
project is progressing satisfactorily.
Two civil engineering parties and
one military crowd" he says, "have
gone to the sunny South land. Every
thing looks propitious and we are hoping
for speedy success. There is nothing
dubious in the manner of the Central
and South American governments.
Many of them are enthusiastic; all be-
have most encouragingly., Yousee they
want this railroad as much as we do, so
they are giving US all the possible as
sistance. Parties of civil eng gineers will
accompany our parties from point to
point.

DUTY ON LOTTERY TICKETS:


Novel Plan Adopted 70 sop Sale Of Fer
eign Tickets in tho Csnntry. z.s+ !
WASHINGTON, April 2:.-The lottery
companies receiveda black eye at the
treasury department., which, it is
thought will have the effect of driving
them out of business. Having been de-
barred from the United States mail,
branches Of lottery companies which
formerly did business in the United
States have been established in Mexico.
Under the law printed matter cannot be
refused entry and each month lottery
tickets have been presented at the Gus
tom houses along the Mexican frontier
for admission into the United States.
They have heretofore been admitted
without question, but Assistant Secre-
tary Spaulding has
Hit Upon Novel Plan
to prevent their coming into this
country. He has decided that there is
no law to keep lottery tickets from
being admitted as printed matter,
but he instructs the custom offic-
ers to assess duty upon them at
the rate Of IS per cent. advalerem on
their face value under Paragraph 423,
Schedule NJ, of the McKdi6 bill, which
provides for this rate of duty upon "all
printed matter not especially provided
for. Tickets of the value of $10, under
this decision, will have to pay $3.50
customs duty. This high rate Of duty,
will, it is thought practically prohibit
their importation. Being debarred
from the United States mails from
express companies and transportation
lines. the lottery companies will find it
difficult to dispose of their wares in the
United States. The case came up in
connection with the importation of the
tickets Of the Juaraz Lottery company.
