PROVIDENCE, December 3.-Mayor Sib-
ley of Springfield, Mass, has made re-
quest upon Governor Brown for the loan
of a burglar.
Lester Eagan, alias Wilbur Sloan, is
now in Cranston Prison, this state, for
five years. He was convicted of robbing
Newport residences. Before Sloan came
to Rhode Island he raided Springfield
houses and secured much plunder, which
he buried in field. Mayor Sibley wants
Governor Brown to allow Sloan to point
out the spot where the plunder lies.
Governor Brown fears that he may lose
Sloan and refuses to allow him to leave
the state. a. ~ g.ss.A

INTO A FIERY FURNACE.
People Reused from Sleep Because the
Village Was Sinking Into
Burning Mine.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Decemcer 3-The peo-
pie of Honeybrook, the little village To-
Gated over the Honeybrook mines, which
have been on fire for some days, passed
last night in terror. just before mid
night the burning mine closed in, COM
pletely shutting off access to the slope.
The fire now has full sway, and will in
time completely destroy mines Nos 1
and unless the men who have been
fighting the flames succeed in making
another opening. The earth caved in
over space of ground nearly 500 yards
square, carrying with it number of
houses. The big Honeybrook store and
the post office sank about two feet. At
2 O'Clock this morning party of men
went around the town arousing the oc-
cupants of the houses. In about 20
minutes the streets were filled with peo-
pie, who remained out of doors until
daylight. Cracks in the earth two feet
wide are seen. The earth over aban-
doned breasts sank in some instances 18
to 20 feet. The stripping plane belong
ing to Crawford & Co. sank several feet.
No further cave-ins have occurred today,
and it is hoped the worst has passed.
The fire is still burning, however, and is
likely to cause further trouble.

FROM THE LAKES TO THE SEA.
Congress VIII Be Aesed To Help Build a
Ship Canal.

DULUTH, Mimi, December 3.-Secreta-
ry Thompson, of the local chamber of
commerce, has prepared his letter call
ing for convention to consider the con-
struction of ship canal through Ameri-
can territory from the great lakes to the
Hudson river, and thus to the sea. In it
he calls attention to the Importance of
the proposed water way as an essential
portion of national defences, and says !:
'sInside of five years Canada will have
a waterway IA feet deep through her own
territory, all the way from Lake Superb
OF to the sea. Her vessels and her com
merce can then go unhindered out from
the heart of the continent over all oceans
to the markets of the world, while there
are more than 150 warships in the En-
glish navy which depth of IA feet
would suffice to bring into the lakes
from the sea- Mr.. Thompson proposes
that convention be held soon after the
Christmas holidays in Washington, SO
that the attention of Congress may be
called to the necessity for immediate ac-
ton.

Work To Be Resumed in the Granite
Yards at Concord.

A.
CONCORD, N. H., December 4.-The
differences between the local tool sharp
eners and the New England granite work
ers have been satisfactorily adjusted.
Negotiations between the granite cutters
and the corporations have so far ad
zsnced that it is expected the entire mat
ter will be easily settled tomorrow.
Many granite cutters have returned here
and it is expected operations will be re-
sumed Tuesday or Wednesday by the
New England Granite Works and the
Granite Railway Company. These cor
porations, with W. II. Perry, who signed
a bill of prices several weeks ago, will
employ some 900 men. The smaller con-
tractors here, some 80 in number, have
announced that they will not, at present,
be parties to this agreement.

Rochefort Denies Having Had Any
Connection with the Panama Canal

LONDON, December &C. Fl. Wells,
whose swindliug operations have already
been told at length, was arrested at
Havre today by the French police, who
had been requested by the British police
to take him into custody and hold him
for extradition should he attempt to
seek shelter. in French territory. Wells
is the man who has the reputation OF
having ''broks NJ the bank at Monte
Carlo. He set himself up in London as
a patent promoter, and succeeded in
swindling a number of persons out OF
very considerable sums of money. One
of his victims brought action against
him, and got judgment for e240. The
public prosecutor threatened to bring an
action against Wells, who then disap-
peared, and a steam yacht owned by him
disappeared at the same time. If the
British authorities succeed in extradlt-
ing him, he will stand good chance OF
going to prison.

Tr;ckey Was the Man Whose Connection
Him Prominent-He Was Believed To
Be Under Indictment for Tampering
with Government witnesses-At the
Age of Twenty-four He Had Been a
Reporter Eight Years.
HAMILTON, Ont, December 4.-Henry
G. Trickey, the Boston Globe reporter
who wrote the sensational tory about
the Borden murder case and was under
Indictment, met with a tragic death here
yesterday. In attempting to catch a
moving train at the Grand Trunk station,
he slipped and was swung under the cars
and his life was crushed out. At the
time it was thought that his name was
Henry Melsear. Today the body was
identified. Before the grand jury met at
Fall River, Trickey went on visit to
his brother-in-lay, Eber S. Melsear of
Evanston, Ill. He did not feel safe
there, being afraid the jury would in
dict him. On November 26th he came
here and registered under the name of
Henry .Melsear of New York. The body
will be taken to Boston for burial.

BATH, December 4.-The weather the
past week has been a medley-rain, snow,
fog, blow, then fair weather for time,
and commence all over again. Owing to
bad weather, the Universalist society con-
tinued their fair until Saturday night.
All the attractions were presented and a
goodly sum was realized towards the
completion of the repairs on the church.
Only one vessel is at present under
construction in the yards. At the Iron
Works good progress is being made on
the Castine and Machias, but the ram
lies high and dry, waiting for the armor,
which the big strike has delayed SO long.
The Sewall plant will be ready for
active work in the spring. Should a con
tract for another gunboat be awarded to
the Bath Iron Works it would help busi-
ness considerably.
The water question is to be arbitrated.
1t now remains to be seen whether the
city will abide by the decision of the
committee.

PORTLAND. MAINE MORNING,

in rank to all subordinates. Experience
has shown that rank, as well as COM
mand, is ESSENTIAL to give proper effect
to authority in any military organization
of Importance. Accordingly, it is rec
commended that the lieutenant-generalcy
be revived as a permanent grade of army
rank. The immediate effect of legisla-
ton in this behalf would, it is assumed,
create promotion at the head of the
army by the advancement of the senior
major-general."
The report refers to the decreasing liza
bility of the need of troops with which
to fight Indians, and urges the concen-
tration of the troo S in regimental gar
ommended for each of the larger states
now without it.
Concerning the National Guard.
the report says" 1.-THE importance of main
tanning and improving the militia of the
several states and the District of Colum-
bia is generally admitted The national
guard is the reserve force of the army,
Attention is invited to the necessary ap-
propriations for arming and equipping
this reserve force. In 1908 the appropri-
ations for the militia of the states was
100000. The highly improved arms and
equipments of the present day cost for
the same number of men more than treble
what they did eighty-four years ago.
The population of the country is many
times whatit was then, and the demand
for these equipments has increased many
times
can appropriation of only five times
the amount appropriated in 1908 can
hardy be considered extravaganza Re-
cent appropriations have been entirely
inadequate, and the War Department is
is under the constant necessity of refus-
ing supplies called for from the different
states. An appropriation of at least one
million dollars for this purpose is recon-
mended. It is also recommended that
the present law be SO changed that arms
and supplies which have become unser-
viceable in the hands of the militia may
be sold and the proceeds of the sale be
used for furnishing new supplies, instead
Of being covered into the treasury"
Concerning Military Instruction
in schools and colleges, the secretary
says: "The study of military science is
not wholly confined to the army. It is ex-
tended to the colleges ana universities
throughout the country. Pursuant to
law, IS officers of the army are detailed
as military instructors at agricultural
colleges and other first-class institutions
where young men are drilled and taught
the rudiments of military education.
The inspector general says in his report
that over one thousand boys and young
men were under military instruction at
the different educational establishments
during the past year. When these young
men 60 out into the world they will not
ate from the military academy, but t ey
will have some military knowledge which
may prove of advantage to them and to
the country.
'''Many commissioned officers and
enlisted men are from time to time de-
tailed to drill and instruct the militia of
the different states, particularly at their
annual encampments. Officersar some
times more permanently detailed on duty
with the. governors Of states for the in
struction of the. national guard. ~ fs

First Methodist Episcopal church in this
city, in addition to the organ and a cor
net, other instruments have been added
to the choir's complement recently until,

objection raised, and the church divided,
the younger element holding to the use
of the instruments. AT meeting of
church officials, after a stormy debate,
the orchestra was voted down and the
choir now talks of resigning.

DIGGING IN PANAMA MIRE.
Checks Received by Baron Reinach Make
the Latest Sensation.

the Latest Sensation.
PARIS, December 3.-M. Clemant, COM
missary of police, has delivered to the
Panama canal committee the 26 checks
that NJ. There's had handed to Baron
Reinach, and which the latt deposited
in the Bank of France in the name OF a
firm of coulissiers. These checks, which
represented a total sum of 1891, ,957
francs, were exchanged with Baron
Reinach by M. There's for a single
check drawn upon the Bank of France
by the Panama Canal Company. The
police seized these checks this morning
in accordance with a suggestion made to
the C mmittee yesterday by M. Beau
paire, the public prosecutor.
The publication of the names of the
pavees of the checks caused a sensation.
Several of the names, however, have
been found TO be fictitious. M. Burfer,
credited with receiving 10000 francs,
proves to be clerk in the International
bank. He says he remembers cashing
the check in question from the fact that
he endorsed it at the time, as is the Gus
tom with clerks when checks are made
payable to the bearer. Four other OF
the payees were clerks employed oyT A.
Bousier. Another payee is clerk in
the Reinach bank. NJ. Chabert, who is
credited with receiving large amount,
is an engineer who mixes in politics.
Henry Rochefort has written letter
refuting the evidence given by NJ. Martin
before the committee of inquiry. \ M.
Rochefort says he never had any rela-
tions with the Panama Canal Company.
Albert Grevy, SON Of the late president,
intends to write letter to the commit
tee of inquiry, protesting against placing
his name in the list of recipients of the
Thieree checks. In the list of
payees of the Thieree checks
appears the name of M. Chevellard,
a clerk employed by the dynamite
company of which the late minister,
Barbe, was chairman. He is credited
with checks amounting to 480,c francs.
Several newspapers assert that M. Barbe
was the actual recipient of the money.
1t is reported that The check made pay
able to NJ. Burfer was intended for NJ,
Provost.
