An Argentine Alliance.

LONDON, March 20.-A Times Buenos
Ayres dispatch says: The effusive ex-
change of civilities between the Ameri-
can fleet and the Argentine authorities
has given origin to the report
of the existence of an alli-
ance between Argentine and the
United States. During the Chilean
dispute, the Argentine authorities un-
doubtedly coquetted with the Washing
ton government, but subsequent events
stopped further advances. The Argen-
tine minister at Washington has been
recalled.

A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.
General Review of the Navies of the
World to Be Held in 1S03.

~
World to Be Held In 1SO3.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-One of the
most popular features of the coming
quadro-centennial celebration in honor
OF the discovery of America, the pro-
posed grand review of the navies of the
world in Hampton roads and New York
harbor, has been more or less neglected,
but has received an impetus by the or.
citizens. Hon. H. l.. M. Currey. presi.
dent of the board, says their work will
be to secure the cooperation of the
board of trade and cities of the Atlantic
and gulf coasts and the necessary legis-
lation by congress. The exercises at the
review will be under the auspices of the
government. Some forty-seven Ameri-
can men-of-war, besides those of other
countries, are expected to take part in
the review.
The list of American ships includes
the New York. Maine, Puritan, Monte
rey, Amphitrite, Miantonomah, Monad-
mock, Terror, the harbor defense ram,
cruiser No. 6, Chicago, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Newark, San Francisco,
Charleston, cruiser No. II, the Mont
gomery, Detroit, cruiser No. IL, the
Machia, gunboat No. 6, the practice
cruiser Boston, the Atlanta, Yorktown,
Concord, Bennington, Petrol, Dolphin,
torpedo boat No. 1, torpedo boat No. 2.
In addition to these number of
wooden ships will also probably be in
commission at the time of the review,
among them the Lancaster, Iroquois,
Yantic, Jamestown, Marion, Thetis,
Adams, Alliance, Kearsarge, Mononga-
hela, Mohican, Essex and Portsmouth.
1t is thought the reunion will be a
standing advertisement for the exposi.
tion from the time the feet leaves
Europe until the guests reach Chicago.

The Engineers Threaten to Take o Hand

WINNIPEG, March 20.-The Canadian
Pacific strike took more serious phase
tonight, owing to the fact that the en-
gineers threaten to 60 out, as they OBJ
ject to carrying ''scab" crews. There is
also reported trouble on the Pacific and
Western divisions, where a state OF
affairs similar to that here exists. The
result of interviews which the engineers
had with Superintendent White is kept
secret. Since Tuesday all trains on the
Pacific division have been run by the
superintendent and other officials, act.

MIR. shaw's Sculptures.

Mr.. Frederick A. Shaw has lately fin
ished very effective marble medallion
portrait of his sister, Miss Shaw, the
harpist, who is represented in classical
costume and Greek couture, with her
harp. He has made similar medallion
of Mr.. Elbridge Gerry of Paris, and is
now at work upon low-relief portraits of
two Boston ladies. He has also the clay
sketch of portrait bust of a lady well
under way in his studio in the Harcourt
building. At the Bost on Art Club gale
ry may be seen his life-size figure of an
athlete, Putting the Shot, which has
been shown in the Paris Salon and was
modelled after one of the most famous
of living athletes and acrobats-Schaeffer
of Vienna. Among Mr.. Shaw's other
works are "Hypatia,' u a marble statuette,
ssThe Spirit Of the Air." marble stat
uette, and the antique Fisherman Cast
ing the Net" He has been working in
Florence most of the time for the past
ten years, with occasional visits to Bos-
ton, and he has exhibited frequently in
the Salon. He is just now quite absorbed
by an invention of his own which he
hopes to patent, and which he believes
will revoIutionize the art of sculpture.
If possible, he will be prepared to ex-
hibit some Of its results at the Chicago
Worlds Fair.

Maine Central Railroad Company.

The Maine Central Railroad Company
evidently believes in civil service reform.
At least it practices it, and that is the
best proof of belief. Mr.. Linscott, the
venerable treasurer, resigned last week,
and his place was filled by Mr.. Gerge W.
York, the auditor, who has come up
from the ranks and is a young man of
ster ling ability. who has the entire conf
dence of the, great company he repre-
sents. Mr.. York's position, which was
vacated by his promotion, is filed by
MI. w. W. Colby, formerly travelling au-
ditor. who is one of the most affable gen
tlemen it has ever been our good fortune
to meet. He is the gentleman who walks
quietly into railroad office when sta
ton agent gets his accounts mixed up
and he has a way of letting a great
amount of light shine upon those books
in a very small space of time and in the
most agreeable way, too. Lots OF rail
road men will miss his periodical calls,
but will rejoice to learn of his advance
ment.- Fairfield Journal.

ALBION POST OFFICE CASE.
William d. Barnes Has Hearing Before
the Commissioners.

William D. Barnes, the man arrested
on charge of breaking into the post of
flee at Albion, was brought before Com
missioner Bradley yesterday morning.
The PRESS has lately published the par
ticulars of the alleged burglary and given
a sketch of Barnes's criminal record.
The prisoner did not employ counsel,
but testified in his own behalf, giving a
sketch of his wanderings from the time
he was released from Thomaston until
after the date when the burglary was
committed. The story he gave from a
diary kept by him. He admitted that
the entries in the diary were not made at
the times when the various acts set down
were performed, but afterwards, SO that
they might not escape his memory.
Barnes claimed that on the night when
the post Office at Albion was broken into
he was at Augusta. He said he was
tramping and that he went into certain
room in the insane asylum and went to
sleep. That one Of the female servants

the porter gave him an apple. If these
are facts then, unless he tramped from
Albion to Augusta during the night, and
entered the room at the asylum in the
morning just before he was found, it
would seem as if he could prove an alibi.
Deputy Sheriff Hall testified that
Barnes had told a number of stories to
him, which on Investigation he had
found incorrect.
At the request of District Attorney
Dyer, who desired to have witnesses
present who could testify as to the truth
of falsity of Barnes's statements, the
hearing was continued until Tuesday, the
26th inst.

THE NASH WILL.
The Text of the Decision Rendered by
Judge Haskell.

The decision which Judge Haskell de-
livered in the Nash will case was as fol
lows:
The case has developed nothing but
purely questions of fact for decision; and
it seems to me very clear that there is
but one conclusion to be reached. 1t
must be borne in mind that the tesla
mentary capacity in cases of this sort is
the test, and not the reasonableness of
the provisions of the will as Judged by
those of kindred who think they ought
to have received different or larger
share than that given. 1t seems that
MI. Nash was merchant in this city for
great many years. 1t seems that he
had at least capacity to accumulate
very comfortable estate, perhaps even
larger than what the evidence here in
dicates. There is no evidence whatever
to show any insanity or impairment OF
his mind or intellect. At most, the evil
dence indicates that he may have been
addicted, at times, to the use OF stimu-
lants, perhaps sometimes even to excess
In fact, the testimony of the witnesses
does not show that at any time he under
took to do business when he was under
any excitement or exhilirated from IN
toxicating drinks Moreover, there is no
was under the influence of stimulantS at
the time he executed this will. 1t seems
that for some months he contemplated
the disposition of his property; that he
made directions concerning it, consider
ed the provisions, and finally, after Civ
ing full and complete directions, executed
this will.
The evidence clearly satisfies me be-
yond even any doubt that, at the time he
executed the supposed will, he was OF
sound mind and testamentary DISPOSE
ton; that he had the possession of all
his faculties; that he exercised his free
choice in the distribution of his estate.
The evidence further satisfies me that he
executed the will according to the re-
quirements of our statute; and there is
no evidence whatever that in the execu-
ton of that will he was guided or gov
erned by anything more than his free
and voluntary desire. Tt may be that
his wife consulted him about it, it may
be that she desired q testamentary dis
position of his property, it may be that
she urged it, it may be that she insisted
upon it, but even that would have no
effect to invalidate the will so long as he
exercised his own free choice. So, while
I think the evidence shows mental capa-
city and the formalities required by law,
it also shows that he deliberately and
voluntarily, without coercion or com
pulsion, or undue influence such as took
away his volition, made and executed
this statement
I therefore direct that decree be
drawn sustaining this as his last will and
testament, and properly certified to the
Probate Court. The expenses of appeal
and taxable costs should be paid from
the estate.

THE SHAKERS.
A Boston Paper Brings Some Serious
Charges Against the Community.

The Boston Herald of yesterday had a
long story charging the Shaker commu-
nifty at Alfred with immortality and cru
city in the treatment of young girls COM
mitted to their care. The Herald S
charges are based on the story of girl
named Esther Bronner, who, having be-
come unmanageable at her home in Mas
sachusetts, was sent by her mother to
the Shakers. She escaped from Alfred
and brought up in the Brighton, Mass,
police station, where the Herald first OBJ
tanned her story. The Bronner girl tells
a story of severe punishments for trivial
offences, and of immoral conduct by the
Shaker men. The character of the girl
is evidently not such as to give her story
much credit unless supported. This the
Herald strove to do by interviewing Al
fred people. Several prominent citi-
zens," among them doctor, are quoted
as saying that the Shakers are not all
they profess to be; but no names of any
of these prominent citizens are given.
So far as developed the evidence which
the Herald has is not sufficient for an ar
raignment of community that has al
ways been respectable.
On the other hand there is some very
emphatic testimony in favor of the Shak-
ers. j. A. Hewey, Esq, clerk of courts
for York county, said to the Biddeford
journal yesterday that he believed the
story to be scandalous libel on the
Shakers. He knew them all well, he
said, knew that they were thrifty and
pious and did not believe a word of the
abuses and immoralties with which the
Herald charged them. The children
which the Shakers took were from asy-
lums, he said, and naturally some there
were hard cases. He could understand
how the runaway girl might tell such a
story as published and also how report
Ell might be able to pick up gossip at Al
fred from some one who might have had
a grievance with the Shakers.
