Mr.. Broadwell, "will probably never

Especial to the Press.1

WATERvILLE, March 16.-Tuesday
was one of the days set apart in Colby
University for final examinations. The
physics division of the junior class at the
proper time took their way to the Shan
non laboratory prepared for three and
one-half hours struggle, but instead
found that Professor Rogers had table
set as if for banquet, and that their
only examination was to discuss a dainty
lunch, which was soon set before them.
The universal sentiment of the college is
that all of the professors should adopt
Professor Rogers's new system of exam
nation.
The fair of the Waterville military

WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO?

President Calls on Salisbury for Definite
Statement.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-A citing Sec
retary Wharton was today instructed to
inform Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
minister, that the President desired to
know, at as early date as possible, the
intention of the British government with
regard to the proposed renewal of the
modus vivendi of last year for the pres
ervation of the seal fisheries, pending the
settlement by arbitration of the question
of the jurisdictional rights If the United
States in Behring Sea. The British min
lister was requested to call Lord Sails
bury's attention to Mr.. Wharton's note of
the Sth inst, insisting on the necessity of
the modus vivendi, with the suggestion
that the President would like to have a
response as soon as possible in order that
he might act understandings in the mat
ter. The Presidents desire for speedy
action is said to be due to the fact that it
is essential that he should know prompt
ly whether Great Britain will cooperate
in keeping the sealers out of Behring Sea,
as, otherwise, the execution OF that duty
falling solely on the United States will
necessitate the making of arrangements
that can scarcely be effective unless COM
pleted at an early day. The character of
the Instructions to our naval and revenue
vessels destined for duty in Behring Sea
this season will depend almost altogether
on the attitude to be assumed by Great
Britain and, as these vessels will have to
be in the vicinity of the sea by the first of
May, it will be seen that there is very
little time to spare in preparation.

GRAND TRUNK LEADS 1T.
Trainmen in a Movement Which May End
in Great Strike.

MONTREAL, March 16.-What is re-
garded as the initial move on the part of
the various associations of railway con-
duetors, brakemen, baggagemen, and
possibly fremen throughout America
toward concerted plan to compel the
railway S to abolish the system of wages
by gradual scale, has been made by en-
p1oyes of the Grand Trunk. The general
belief among railway officials is that
these organizations have agreed to de-
mand an increase of pay from all roads,
and in the event of failure to cause a
general strike previous to the opening of
the World Fair next year. The demand
made on the Grand Trunk is that eight
hours shall constitute days work, for
which every conductor shall be paid So
per day and every trainman $1.75 per
day. In other words they ask an aver
age increase of from 10 to so per cent.
The company offered an increase, but
not ON the lines proposed, and the train
men summoned their respective orders to
compromise. The representatives of the
different organizations have arrived and
were today in conference with the Grand
Trunk officials.

LONDON, March 16.-During circus
performance in Hednesford, Stafford
shire, yesterday, Delhi Montana, negro
lion tanner, entered a cage, being adver-
tised to subdue three savage bears and a
hyena, which We're together within. Just
as he entered the cage, he made mis-
step, and before he could recover him.
self he stumbled forward and fell into
the cage, and the heavy iron door fell
with a crash behind him, cutting off his
only means Of escape. Instantly the an
imals, which he had many times mas
tered and made cover before the stroke
of his whip, realized the tanner was at
their mercy. The hyena seized him with
it's fangs, tearing the mans flesh in a
horrible manner, and then lifted him
from the bottom of the cage and flung
his body to the opposite side. The bears
now seized the tanner and tossed him
from one to the other, at the same time
repeatedly biting him in a savage man.

en- off and Montana was dragged from
the cage, he was found to be bruised
from head to foot and covered complete
" with blood. After lingering in great
agony for an hour, death put an end to
his sufferings.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The argu-
ments on Mr.. Lapham's bill to render in
inorperative the state laws against men
haden and mackerel fishing were contin-
ued before the House committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries today. Ex-
Mayor jackson of, Fall River, Mass, adj
dressed the committee in support of the
constitutionality of the legislation pro-
posed in the bill. He held that the in
terests at stake were national. The
mackerel and menhaden fisheries of the
coasts and bays constituted an interest
historically and legally allied with the
interstate and foreign commercial rela-
tions of the country.
Attorney Charles F. .Chamberlayne, rep
resenting Hon. Charles E. Littlefield. at
tOrney general OF Maine, spoke against
the bill. Attorney General Littlefield in
letter to Mr. Chamberlayne requesting
him to appear before the committee, said
that the proposed legislation would very
seriously affect interests of the State of
Maine and he was anxious that every
effort be made to prevent the passage OF
the Lapham bill. Mr.. Chamberlayne
said the attorney general of Maine united
in the conviction that, as matter of law
settled beyond question by an unbroken
line of precedents extending over two
generations the control of their coast
fisheries had not been delegated by the
states to Congress but remained unchal.

perty. There was absolutely no author
ity, Mr.. Chamberlayne said, for the con-
tention advanced by the advocates of the
bill that Congress can regulate state fish
cries as commerce" On the contrary,
said he, the Supreme Court has again
and again stated in the most express
terms that it cannot be so considered.
The committee hoped to be able to
reach vote on the bill today.

TROUBLE FOR FIsKE.
Wanted in Massachusetts, for Conspiring
to Injure His Wife.

Boston, March 16.-Charles II. Fiske,
proprietor of the Fiske house at Old Or
chard, and Samuel Reed, private detec-
tive of Haverhill, will be called upon to
| answer in court to serious charges grow
ing out of the libel for divorce which was
filed by Fiske against his wife, the trial
of which developed several sensational
features at Saco last January. Reed was
arrested this morning and extradition
proceedings will be begun to secure
Fiske.
1t is alleged in the complaint on which
the warrants were issued that Fiske and
Reed conspired together to entrap and
ensnare Mrs. Fislze and unlawfully charge
and accuse her of the crime of adultery
with one Walter S. Sherman with intent
to induce her to release against
her will all rights of property
and support.
The existence of the conspiracy, it is
alleged, was shown at the trial of the di-
vorce case, when Sherman, who is a de-
tective, testified that he told Mrs. Fiske
of the conspiracy against her and that
they went to New York where, at the
Gilsey house, they contrived to be in a
room together when Reed and another
man came in as arranged, with the intent
of securing evidence against Mrs. Fiske.
Mr.. and Mrs. Provost of Brooklyn,
friends of Mrs. Fiske, were in an adjoin-
ing room and Sherman and Mrs. Fiske
were together only long enough to give
Reed an opportunity to attempt to carry
out the conspiracy by forcing his way
into the room. Mrs. Fiske corroborated
this testimony of Sherman's and both
denied that there was anything improper
in their relations. Photographic copies
of contract between Fiske and Sherman
were put in evidence. By this contract
Sherman was to receive $500 if evidence
was procured against Mrs. Fiske. Sher-
man testified that the money was paid
him by Fiske.
Mrs. Fiske has filed libel for divorce
in Maine in which Mr.. Hall appears as
her counsel, she will also begin criminal
proceedings against her husband and
Reed in Maine in which she will charge
them with the crime of perjury.
The case of John F. Nichols of Fall
River was somewhat similar to this one.
Nichols was convicted in 1882.

How Sub-Prefect Isaac Was Forced to
Fight the Marquis De Mores.
PARIS, March 16.--Society is greatly
stirred up over the dangerous wounding
of M. Isaac, the Sub-Prefect of Four
mics, by the Marquis De Mores in duel
fought yesterday. Ever since the Four
mics riots, when the military, at the in
stigation, it is claimed, of M. Isaac, fired
among the working people, killing and
wounding women and children as well
as men, M. Isaac has been the object of
bitter attacks from the Socialists. The
Marquis De Mores has lately
trained with the Socialists, and he saw
no better way of gaining popularity
with them than by drawing challenge
from the man who was charged with
having their comrades shot down at
Fourmies. The two men met yesterday
morning. Isaac spent good part of the
previous night practicing with well
known fencing master. 1t is usual for
duellists to give some token of recogni-
ton before the deadly encounter but
the Marquis would not even notice his
antagonist, and seemed to wait with i'm
patience for the word. From the first

held his own bravely, but was no match
for the skill and impetuosity of his an
tagonist. The Marquis evidently meant
to kill, and Isaac knew it. Both men
kept their presence of mind. or the fight
would have ended at once, for the Mar
quis was ready to take advantage of the
slightest slip on the part Of Isaac, who
showed a skill that encouraged his
friends and seemed to astonish De Mores
1t was by skillful feint that De Mores
succeeded in disabling his man. He
made thrust as if at the left breast, and
as Isaac made motion to parry the
blow, De Mores, with almost inconceiva-
BILE swiftness, struck fiercely to the right,
plunging his weapon into the breast OF
Isaac. The latter staggered, the blood
pouring from the wound. He held on to
his sword and made a motion as if to at
tack De Mores again. The latter st1bd
calm and, turning to his second, asked
for cigar. Isaac, wounded as he was,
wanted to continue the fight, but this
the seconds would not allow.

LIVERPOOL, March 15.-The police of
this town have been pursuing an inquiry
into the disappearance of a woman and
her children who formerly lived on Rain
Hill, a part of Liverpool. The inquiry
started in the pursuit and arrest at Mel
bourne, Australia, of man named Will
liams, charged with numbering a woman
there. The police today went to the
house formerly occupied by the persons
in question. They lifted the hearthstone
from its place, broke out the cement up
on which the stone rested, and dug away
the earth below. After half an hour S
digging, they found the body of the
missing woman. Beneath it were found
the bodies of two children, The muir

victims, and his object, in a measure, had
been attained, for the bodies had been
partly consumed by the lime. 1t has
transpired that the house in which the
bodies were found was once occupied by
Williams. The bodies of two other chill
dren were also found buried under the
house. The first of the children's bod
les was that of girl of 70 years, who
had been strangled. The second was a
girl of seven, the third of five and the
fourth baby of about one year old.
The throats of the last three victims
were cut.
1t is believed that Williams is ''Jack,
the Ripper Williams, while resident
of Liverpool, made frequent visits to
London. The police traced his move
ments between the two places. 1t has
been found that his visit to London cor
responded with the times that the un-
fortunate women in the Whitechapel
district were found with their throats
cut and their bodies mutilated. The de-
scription given of the man seen in the
company of several of the unfortunate
women killed in Whitechapel tallies ex-
actly with the appearance of Williams as
given by Liverpool people who knew
him.
