Washington, Dec, 12.-Some concern
has been felt at possible complications
over the international question Of armed
vessels on the great lakes between the
United Suites and Canada. Secretary
of State Foster being asked whether II
modification of the treaty of 1917 with
regard to armed vessels on the lakes
would be an advantage to this country,
replied
THAT is not question for the state
department TO answer, but rather for the
senate to consider ! was asked to say
whether the agreement was in force
and | replied that it was. According
to the agreement between the United
States and Great Britain the armed yes
sci of each nation is to be 100 tons bur
den and carry six lS-p0und guns a
vessel of 100 tons would hardly be put
in commission today, and 1S-pound guns
are obsolete The Arrangement needs
to be modernizcd, and certainly in the
direction of larger tonnage.
"lf the United States desires to in
crease the size of its war vessel, would
not England also place on the lakes the
largest gunboat which could pass through
the Welland canalT
81 cannot even anticipate the action o.

matte answer, 'much less predict VIVA
England will do"

Fire Department Ru1es.

A new and revised edition of the rules
and regulations of the fire department
has been prepared and will be issued to
the men at their company meetings Mon
day night. Two paragraphs are changed,
those relating to the duties of captains
in the departments. The new rules
prescribe that the captains shall have
rank according to their seniority in
the service. The board of engineers
has therefore promulgated the following
official list and the commanders rank as
follows:
Senior Captain-A. F. Griffin, Engine 4.
Second Captain-John E. Cady, Ladder 3.
Third Captain-M. N. Eldredge, Engine g.
Fourth Captain-L. B. Bragg, Ladder l.
Fifth Captain--J. M. FarnSWorth, Ladder Q.
Sixth Captain-John B. Brown, Engine 5.
Seventh Captain-Wm. E. Hanson, Engine [.
Eighth Captain-Edward Wallace, Engine q.
Captain Kelsey of Hose and Captain

not ranked because their stations are so
situated that they are rarely brought into
service.

DEERlNe POLITICS.
The Anti-Somers Men Get New Caucuses
for Saturday Evening-Somers Men Will
Not Go Into Them-Registration Pro-
ceeding Slowly.

The silk-stocking Democrats of Deer
ing do not intend that Mr.. Robert f.
Somers shall keep those eight delegates
which his friends won for him in the tu-
multuous caucus described in the PRESS
of Wednesday. The city committee met
last evening at Adams Hall. About Is
members were present, among them be-
ing Chairman q. A. Jackson, Alexander
McKone, George B. Leavitt, Mark Jor-
dan, A. FL. Huston, Augustus Tate, r. G..
Hooper, Michael Stevens, George NJ.
Cram, Howard Winslow and L. W. Dyer.
They discussed the caucus of Tuesday
long and earnestly. The majority of the
committee were quite evidently anti
Somers men, and determined that the
Tuesday caucus should not count. They
made the point that the caucus was ille-
gal, since it was a union caucus, where
as, Deering being now city, ward eau
cuses are proper. They also brought up
the point that the call was issued two
days before the call for the county con-
vention, although the caucus itself was
not heldAuntil after the call for the con-
vention was out. Alexander McKone,
as leader of the Somers men, contended
that other cities held union caucuses, ,and
that the time of the issue of the call was
immaterial. But he was outnumbered,
and it was voted to hold ward caucuses
Saturday evening, for the choice of a
city committeeman, a delegate to the
state convention and a delegate to the
county convention in each ward. The
delegates thus chosen will meet Monday
to choose delegate at large for each
convention. The Somers men protested
against this; and it was their intention
last evening not to go into the ward eau
cuses, but to present their delegation at
the county convention and demand adj
mission for it as the legal Deering dele
CATION.
The ward delegates who will be
chosen Saturday seem likely to be for
Tolman, as he seems to have made more
headway than SWEET, so far. 1t may be
that there will be Tolman-Swett fight,
in which case the defeated side could
have refuge in school district caucuses.
The Registration.
The registration of voters proceeds
with alarming slowness. Only SO regis
tered Tuesday, 66 Wednesday, and Sc
yesterday. AS there are about 1900 to
register, it is seen that there must be
some stirring about. Republicans should
bestir themselves and arouse their neigh
bors. The Democratic row may produce
lots of Democratic votes next fall, which
must he met.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

The following decisions with rescripts were
sent down yesterday in cases pending before
the law court for the western district.
The rescripts are by Judge Walton.
State VS.. William Holt
RescTapt-A wilful and corrupt attempt to pre-
vent the attendance of a witness before any
lawful tribunal organized for the adminstra-
ton OF JUSTICE is an indictable offence at COM
mon law. The essence of the offence consists
in wilful and corrupt attempt to interfere with
and ObStruct the administration of Justice.
Intentionally and designedly to geta witness
drunk for the express purpose OF preventing his
attendance before the grand jury or in open
court, is such an interference with the proceed
ings in the administration of justice as will con-
stitute an indictable offense, and one for which
the guilty party ought to be promptly and Sc
yerely, punished; It is important that it should
be understood that the suppression of evidence
by such, or by any similarly wicked and cor
rupt means, cannot be practieed with impunity.
Exceptions overruled. Indictment adjudged
sufficient.
Christiana R. Parker VS.. Humphrey N. Ian
caster ct al.
Rescript-It is settled rule of law that
money voluntarily paid cannot be recovered
back. Money obtained by fraud or duress or
under such circumstances of oppression, actual
or threatened, as renders it unconscionable for
the one receiving it to retain it, may be recOv-
cred back. But when one demands money un-
der claim of right, and uses no other means to
obtain 1t than importantly and persistency OF
oe to { Il # pos g ad
the one of whom the money is demanded has
time for consideration and deliberation, and to
obtain the advice of counsel or friends, and the
money is then voluntarily paid to settle the de-
mand, it cannot be recovered back, though the
demand is illegal and unjust.
The law faVorS the compromise of doubtful
claims, and does not allow settlements arrived
at by mutual concessions to be lightly set aside.
A lawyer can lrender no moro valuable service
to his client and none for which he should be
better paid, than when, by his efforts, he sue
ceeds in procuring the settlement of a contro-
versy without litigation.
In this case the money was paid voluntarily.
1t was in fact, a compromise settlement of all
matters between the parties. Both parties en-
ployed counsel The evidence fails utterly to
disclose any ground on which either of the par
ties can rightfully disaffirm or rescind the set
tlement in whole or in part, and we are forced
to the conclusion that the verdict, which was
for the plaintiff, must be regarded as clearly
and Enthusiastically wrong
Motion sustained; new trial granted
James M. Treat, in equity, VS.. Abel Parsons
ct al.
Rescript-H party having constructed a
weir for no other purpose than to take such fish
as are named in his grant, finds other fish there
In, and he is the first taker of them, such other
fish become his property the same as if taken
by other means.
Fish, before they are taken, are the property
OF no one. When taken, like all animals, ferae
7aotssrde, they belong to the taker.
Bill dismissed with costs.

The above tab !e includes the maturing
obligations of leased and affiliated lines
in all cases where decreased interest in
ures to the benefit of the lessee. The
figures embrace SO, ,422 in 1894, 11,S16
in 1895, So, All in 1896 and $11, ,497 in 1898
total, $40, 146- savings in fixed charges
on the Maine Central, or 50.64 per cent.
of the total reduction in Maine Central
charges, this being the percentage of
stock interest in that company owned by
the Boston and Maine.
1t will be seen that the reduction in
interest up to April 1, 1894, would suffice
to pay 1.21 per cent. additional on the
total issue of Boston and Maine stock,
while the reduction for the whole period
would be equivalent to 1.6s per cent. on
Boston and Maine stock, or allowing for
the increased dividends on stocks of
leased lines to begin in 1897 would equal
1,02 per cent. on Maine stock.
The Boston and Maine will earn for
the fiscal year ending Sept. 80, next
slightly over 10 per cent. on it's total
stock, including the new issue, even if
the earnings for the last six months of
the fiscal pear showing no increase over
those of last year.
