Citizens Resort To Law Over the
Surplus Of the Relief Fund.
NOVEL POINTS in WHAT MAY BE
A FAMOUS CASE.
Money Was Contributed That $4,000
Remained--This the Committee In
vested for the Town-Now a Fight
VIII Be Made to Secure Its Division
Among Fire Sufferers Who Are Needy.
Especial to the Press.l

BANGOR, July 22.-One OF the most in
teresting cases ever known in the legal
annals of the country has originated in
Eastern Maine and it's results will estab-
lish points of law which must have
most important bearing in future and
which will be of interest everywhere. AT
the time of the great fire in Eastport six
years ago, it will be remembered that
relief poured into the town from every
direction. Bangor, Portland and other
Maine places contributed no small
amount, while Boston and New York
sent handsome sums. The call from the
stricken town was so urgent and the re-
sponse so generous that the relief COM
mittee, when all was over, found them
selves with an unexpended balance of
1000 on hand. This was after meeting
every need and the committee saw a
chance to enrich the town to that extent
and accordingly invested the money in
bonds, the income from which has been
paid annually into the town treasury.
This has not, it seems, been entirely sat-
isfactory to some of the people, and Hon.
Archibald MacNichol of Calais, who has
been employed by them, has brought bill
in equity against the committee to COM
pei them to distribute the funds in their
possession among the poor who suffered
by this fire and who feel that they can
use the money to good advantage. The
committee must have anticipated this ac-
ton owing to the feeling which has ex-
listed in certain circles over their action
and have made arrangements to contest
the case most strongly. They have en-
ployed Hon. j. W. Symonds of Portland
to represent them and the case will prob
ably come to trial at no very distant date.

The Bicyc1e Races Today.

The bicyle races this afternoon will be
the popular amusement, toward which
many hundreds will throng. The attract
ions embrace not only some OF the best
races ever seen tn Maine on wheels, but
also excellent music by Chandler's band
during the event. A list of the entries
was published yesterday morning, and
includes many of the fastest riders of
Maine and Massachusetts,. A number OF
additional entries were received on the
morning mail from Saco yesterday, in
Guiding the teams of the York County
Wheelmen and Saco Cycle Club. Excit-
ing contests are likely and grand occa-
sion assured. 'sWho will win the hand
some French clock2" is a question agita-
ting the minds of many fair ones. 1t is
first prize in the one-mile state record
race and is about certain to be captured
by Portland boy. Encourage the rid
ers by your presence and greet the win
ner with rousing cheers. He will de-
serve it, for he is likely to be a record
breaker as well as winner. The price of
admission is 35 cents. The races will be
started at 2.30 o'clock.
Gargan to Lawrence.
Gargan, the Portland champion, has
addressed another letter to Lawrence:
Mr. John G. Laurence. Saco, Me-:
Dear Sir-In answering your recent letter IN
the Argus, wish to state that all the talk that
has been made over the race July 4th came
from your friends, who also made all possible
efforts to belittle my victory over you in Saco
Now, as the outcome of this race did not seem
to suit your friends, I gave you a chance to
meet me again and named the time and place,
which / had perfect right to do. Had you
been half as anxious to meet me as your friends
stated, YOU would have come to Portland on the
date mentioned; but it seems that you dare to
favor you and on your own stamping grounds.
Now, Mr.. Lawrence, will meet you in SacO,
August 9Th if you will meet me in Portland
two or three weeks later, and will try to make
both events very interesting to you.

to such magnitude as 10 enjoy that re-
gard from other nations which guaran-
tee her against foreign insolence and
cause less war. Very much might might
be safely done in reducing the number
of our ministers by abolition, or the
union of several countries under one
mission. Not encouraged to hope for
an acceptance of these views by the
Senate, or the President, it has
been deemed best, except
in a few Instances to post
pone needed reforms at this point.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway, how
ever, have been placed under one mis-
sion, as have Columbia and Ecuador
under one mission, and likewise Peru
and Bolivia. BY mistake of the
printer, it was announced that Guate-
mala and Venezuela, had also been
joined under one Minister. ,Sepa-
rate missions are to be maintained to
these two countries and the salary is
fixed at S., 900 each.
The report says the committee gave
careful attention to the Consular SER
vice and revised it according to the
business and Importance to the United
States of each place.

The indianapolis Sentinel Calls Of

SEVENTY FIVE PER CENT OF ALL
The Democrats in Indiana Favor the E1-
President Against the Field-Ths Sentinel
Thinks Gov. Gray Should Not Stand in
Way OfParty Harmony and Success.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 27.-The
Indianapolis Sentinel which has hereto
fore supported Governor Gray will to-
morrow morning demand that he with
draw from the Presidential race in fav-
or of Cleveland. It's editorial on the
subject will say:
"The Sentinel has taken special pains
to ascertain the drift OF Democratic
opinion throughout Indiana, on the
Presidential question, and has discov-
cred that it is overwhelmingly for
Cleveland. Certainly there are not TO
exceed half dozen counties in doubt
aud there is not one in which, on full
Democratic vote, Mr.. Cleveland would
not receive more votes than all other per-
son combined who have been named in
connection with the nomination.
"ln many counties the Democrats are
practically unanimous for Cleveland.
Taking the State through IL is an ex-
ceedingly modest estimate to say that
IS per cent. are in favor Of Cleveland as
against the field, and that so per cent.
are for him as against anybody but ex-
Governor Gray,
"ThiS being the fact-and no man
who understands the existing condition
in Indiana can honestly gainsay it
Ex-Governor Gray certainly owes 1t to
himself and the party which has so
highly honored him in the past, TO re-
lieve the situation of the embarrassment
which his Presidential candidacy In
volyes."

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
What the National Legislature VIII

Matter

What the National Legislature viii
Likely Do This Week-rhe BerinE Sea
Matter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81
The Bland bill still impends over the
House Of Representatives as cloud
whose presence makes possible storm
which may disturb the representations
of those who endeavor TO form an ac-
curate chart for the course Of the legis-
latiye ship.
Owing to the absence OF Mr.. Catch
ings, of Mississippi, and the desire that
there shall be full representation Of
members when the rules making the
Bland free coinage bill and pending
amendments special order is taken up;
the rules committee will not report and
call up the much talked Of special order
until Tuesday. The silver fight will
then be renewed and fought TO finish
one way or the other. Tomorrow will
probably be devoted to measures relat-
ing TO the District of Columbia. The
remainder of the week not devoted to
consideration OF the silver ques-
tion will be consumed either in
debate on the tariff question or
In consideration of one or more OF the
regular appropriation bills, no decision
having yet been arrived at as to whether
or not the tariff discussion shaE be
further interrupted. There are three
appropriation bills, namely: the naval,
the consular and diplomatic, and the
sundry civil; ready for action by the
House. Naturally the naval bill would
take precedence of the others in consid-
Grafton, as it was first reported. The
river and harbor bill has been agreed
upon by the committee, but will not be
reported to the House until the close OF
the week.
Interest in the proceedings Of the
Senate this week will turn on the dis
position to be made OF the Bering sea
arbitration treaty, which is the unfin-
iShed business on the executive calen-
dar, and il is expected the Seuate will
again exclude the public from the cham
Der for many hours. In the course of
the legislative business the Indian ap-
propriation bill will be further con-
Sidcred, and there is more to be said
upon the subject of employing army Of
fcers in the capacity of Indian agents.
The West Virginia direct tax bill, af-
ter several postponements on account
of the illness of Senator Morrill,, has
been finally assigned for debate on Tues
day, on which day Senator Stanford
will also, according to notice, address
the Senate on his bill to determine the
value Of legal tender dollar. 1t is ex-
pected that the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill will be taken up after
ward aud as this is measure in which
the Senators feel much interest, owing
in part to the fact that many Of them
own homes in this city, the debate upon
the provisions of the bill is likely TO oc-
cupy the Senate for some time.

GREAT EXCITEMENT
Along the Route Travelled by DeemiDg, the
Murderer--FaintiDg FITS

Murderer--FaintiDg Fits
ALBANY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA,
March 27.-The journey by train OF the
murderer, Swanston, or Deeming, from
Perth to this city, whence he is 10 en-
bark for Melbourne, was made notable
by a series OF exciting scenes. Wherever
the train stopped the stations were
crowded with people anxious 10 see the
prisoner.
Frantic rushes we're made for the
train whenever it came TO a standstiIl.
The windows OF the carriage in which
Deemlng rode were broken as the re-
suit of frantic attempts TO lynch him
made by the infuriated people. Wo-
men were especially violent in their
threats and other manifestations OF
rage were made against the prisoner.
Swanston showed much alarm at
every stop and corresponding relief
when the train proceeded. During the
Journey he had several fainting fits.
His returns to consciousness were
marked by violent struggles, during
which time it required four men TO hold
him.
Detectives who accompanied the pris-
oner are convinced that his fainting fits
were all slammed. lie became com
posed towards the end Of the journey.
He was tranferred from the train to the
Jail quietly. He had another fit during
the night. Physicians who were called
TO attend him prescribed doses OF
brandy.
Swanston displays the greatest ankle
to prevent recognition OF himself by
swindling operations. He has expressed
a wish to be allowed to shave of his
moustache and to wear spectacles.

o OHAHA's STORM.
Electrical Concerns Done Up and Street
Car Traffic Suspended.


OMAHA, NEB., March 27--About
seven o'clock this morning rain which
had been coming down all night chang
ed to snow. which came down in clouds.
The temperature dropped several de-
grees, and the rising wind soon cleared
the streets of all except those who were
compelled TO be out. Some fears are
expressed that life may be lost In the
country. Though the day has
not been cold, the immense
fall OF snow has been driven over the
open prairie with such binding fury
that travel was almost impossible. All
street car traffic was entirely blocked.
The electric lines were stopped because
OF the danger resulting from the nu-
merous crosses with the fallen tele-
phone and telegraph lines and the cable
lines parted its rope when the storm was
at its height.
Eighty wires leading to the Western
Union telegraph office are useless. The
entire telephone system was laid up and
all the other electric companies OF the
city were in similar predicament. l..
Tonight the city is in darkness, owing
to fhe electric light currents being
turned of at Z o'clock.
The storm appears to have been local,
as no trouble was experienced 25 miles
away. The damage is not yet fully
known.

DICTATOR PALACCE
Arrests the Supreme Judges Because They

New YORK, March 27.-The Herald

this country, and from all parts OF the
Republic come reports Of uprisings
against President Palaces attempt 70

Office has now become, or failing in that,
to have a figure head elected TO succeed

him. Palacce' claim that he

and it adds that he holds the Office IL

The pronounciamento OF the court

stantly he summoned the police author

police arrested the judges, and inside OF
twenty-four hours every one OF them
was behind prison bars. All reports
that reach Caracas confirm the general

widespread that there will be great loss
of life before Palace conquers his enc
mics. Caracas is In virtual state Of

THE FREE SILVER BILL
Is Not Likely to Reach a Vote at
This Session Of Congress.
AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Resolution May Take the Place Of the Bland Bill
The Free Silver Men Take Matters PhiloSOphi-
cally-Ths Congressional Forecast for the
Coming Wsek-Direct Tax Resolution.
Spectal 7s!eQrar. % be- Reqistsr.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March 27,-The
belief is general here now that the sill
yer bill is dead for this session.
Very few people can be found, even
among the extreme silver men, who ex-
press confidence in the passage of the
bill by the House. The prevailing sem
timent is that if direct vote on the
bill is reached it will be defeated, but it
is now thought direct vote will not be
reached.
The bill in all likelihood will be laid
aside without prejudice until next ses-
sion, or else the resolution for an inter-
national monetary conference will be
adopted as a substitute for 1t.
This resolution is now before the
House and can come up as an amend
ment TO the bill, no matter what sort OF
an order is reported by the Committee
on Rules.
A significant thing about the situa-
tion is the good grace with which 1t Is
accepted even by the leaders Of the free
coinage movement. Mr.. Bland, him
self, takes the prospect of defeat
philosophically. This is due to the
fact that these men recognize the Wis
dom of the position taken by the REG
IsrER and large number of other relia-
BILE Democratic papers on the silver
question.
The free coinage men secretly have
felt all along that they were making a
mistake in forcing the question 10 the
front at this time. They recognized
that their course was calculated TO
jeopardzs the interests Of the whole
party without any possibility of secur-
ing the adoption OF a silver bill at this
session.
Now that they are confronted with
the probability Of defeat in their efforts
they will give way with grace and bow
to the inevitable, recognizing that it is
probably the best thing. They feel,
moreover, that they have made the best
fight possible for free coinage and can
face their constituents with a clear con-
science.
