WATERyILLE, January 5.-A party of
French hoodlums, consisting of George
Butler, Dudley Bushey, Joseph Butler
and Albert Debour, were up in the muni-
cipal court for trial this morning for III
otous conduct and disturbance of the
peace, they were all found guilty and
fined. 1t seems these fellows got an idea
into their heads they could run the Wat
elville and Fairfield railroad, and all get
ting about half seas over New Years
eve, boarded the horse cars for Fairfield
When that town was nearly reached, the
racket began and for some time it was
doubtful whether Conductor Mace would
run his car or these roughs. Ringing the
bell for q stop, the driver was called to
the back platform of the car and after
pretty rough handling and ripping off
OF clothes, the Frenchmen were uncere-
moniously thrust into the gutter and the
car proceeded on its way
All went well with it until returning
about the same place was reached, when
a rush was made and again the French
men were on the car. Warfare contin-
timed until Waterville was reached and
then through fear Of arrest, the band of
roughs skipped, only to be arrested
this morning and brought before the
judge, and this little New Years excur-
sion was found to cost them sos.

THE TARIFF PRoHlBIToRY.
John Bulls Protection for Farmers in the
Shape of Quarantine Law.

Shape of Quarantine Law.
WASHINGTON, January SIN the SEN
ate, today, Mr.. Vest called up the reso-
luton requesting the President of the
United States to cause correspondence
and negotiations to be had with the au-
thorities of Great Britain for the purpose
of securing abrogation or modification of
the regulations requiring cattle imported
from the United States to be slaughtered
at the ports of entry, and prohibiting
their being carried alive to other parts of
the kingdom. Mr.. Vest explained and
advocated the resolution
Mr.. Hale treated the regulations in
question as marked instance of Great
Britain's inconsistency in the matter of
free trade. Great Britain, he said, was
constantly preaching homilies ON free
trade, objecting, in every possible
way to protection as embodied
in the statutes Of the United States
and calling down on the heads of the
American people the censure and ven
geance of the civilized world because of
the extreme barbarism and unenlighten-
ment of their protective policy. And
yet, under the forms of quarantine reg
ulation, Great Britain was actually pro-
hibiting the expectation from the United
States to Great Britain of animals, estab-
fishing complete prohibitory tariff
No American cattle or sheep could be
introduced into Great Britain to compete
with the farmers and cattle raisers of
that country any more than if tariff
duty of 100 per cent were laid on them.
This was because the British authori-
ties, committed, as they claimed to be-,
to free trade with all the world, were
aware of the disastrous effect of such i'm
portation on British farmers and cattle
and sheep raisers. 1t was an
instance of the inconsistency of the
British cry of free trade. Mr.. Hale
did not want the resolution adopted
without calling attention to that incon-
sistency, but did not oppose the resolu-
ton.
Mr.. Vest deprecated the introduction
of tariff discussion ON the resolution
and said he should certainly not put him
self in an attitude of defending either
the motive or action of the authorities
of Great Britain. If, after the State De-
partment had called the British govern
ment's attention to the subject and had
calmly presented all the facts, showing
oiido uo ulocdocu Cdctlc were eApoIucu
from the United States, the
British authorities refused to
treat American cattle Justly, he would
not be found tagging when the Senator
from Maine proposed the most extreme
measures to remove the outrage.
Mr. Hale expressed desire that Mr.
Vest might be successful in what he pro-
posed but warned him that in his path
lay not only the quarantine officers of
Great Britain, but British farmers and
British raisers of cattle and sheep. His
efforts would be futile because he would
come face to face with what was the act
ual trouble in the case and not the osten-
sible trouble.
The resolution was adopted.

BosToN, January 5.-The Globle saws:
The Concord & Montreal railroad is bend
ing every energy TO get into Boston some
way besides over the tracks of the Bos-
ton & Maine. When the Boston & Maine
people got control of the Boston & Low
ell they put the Concord road right
where they wanted it. They have that
road in their power, and now the Con-
cord officials intend to get out of their
clutches, II such thing is possible. Tho
way they propose to do tits to build
new line from North Acton to Belmont,
and come into Boston over the tracks Of
the Fitchburg road The Concord IL
Montreal now operates the Nashua {,
Acton road from Nashua Junction to
Acton, and the link it would have to
build. to Belmont would not be over is
miles long.

upon by q Globe reporter, said: II hai

reason why the c. u NJ. or any othor
railroad could not build q line to Boston

law in this Commonwealth which admits
of the formation of railroad corporations

This Peculiar Winter Weather Making
Trouble in Lumber Camps.

Especial to the Press.1
WATERvILLE, January 5.-Word is re-
ceived in this city from Bingham, one Of
the head centres for numbering opera
tions for those owning timberlands
here, that the recent rains have proved
exceedingly disastrous to numbering op-
erations. The swamps and lowlands are
flooded, making it impossible for the
teams to reach many of the crews with
supplies, necessitating short rations be-
ing served. This with undue exposure,
has stricken many of the men down with
the grippe.
The lumber, which has been cut, lays
piled high in the yards, as it is impossi-
bic to draw it to the landing until it
freezes up and fall of snow will allow
the use of sleds. This throws the men
out of employment and makes them dis
satisfied and quarTelsome. The usual
recreation of lumberman's camp,
drinking, smoking and card playing, has
become monotonous without the al
mighty dollar to add interest to the game
Hunting is impossible, and also trips in
to Bingham, as the roads have become
impossible. The brooks are all swollen
to the size of small river, while
in Austin's stream the freshet has
started the ice, which in jamming down
demolished the bridge in Moscow and
formed a dam which throws the water
across the west flats, obliging the people
on them to take to their boats for safety.
This is only one of the many reports re-
ceived by the local lumber kings of the
distress and trials of the present camp
life.
Mr.. G. II. Phillips, of the large lumber
firm of G. A. Phillips & Son, is expected
to return from these regions tonight, if
he can get through, when fuller report

The case was the quo warranto suit OF
Morris, late Democratic candidate. The
court says that the declaration of tho
result of an election is an indispensable
adjunct to the choice of governor, as it
furnishes the only authentic evidence of
IN election. Unless the declaration is
made in the way so provided the process
