came violently ill. Suspicion pointed to
the -four which Mrs Leach had returned

BATES, "a; BOWDOIN. -.
The Pennant Hunt Nov Close Between
Bates, Bosdoin and Colby.

VAUDEVILLE, May -. - Special. y
Bowdoin droped game 10 Bates on the
college diamond this afternoon, and the re-
la;ive standing in the intercollegiate league
now assumes very interesting topic.
While we may consider the NJ. S. c. mot
in it,, the Bates, Bowdoins and Colbys all
have a possible, almost an equal chance of
winning the bunting. Of these the BowdOin
played strong game the frat of the season,
but weaker one of late, the Bates have
been uncertain to bet either way on, and
the Colbys played poorly at first but at the
last game put up strong game to over
come. The pennant is some ways of and
nobody's prize yet.
The game on the campus this afternoon
was very loosly played on both sides. The
players on both mines made inexcusable
errors, and at times everyone seemed rat
tied. Both teams tried two pitchers and
still the air was full of feathers. In the
second inning Douglass, of the Bates was
hiI in the temple by pitched ball and had
only narrow escape from a very serious
injury. The second and fourth were the
only goose egg innings in the game. BY
errors and good batting the Bates ran in 10
scores in the first inning, then maintained a
lead all the way through. The catchers
of both teams each played a good game.
The score:

rAa,s, May a%.--Sir Charles Russell con-
tinued his argument in behalf Of the Brit
ish case, today, before the Rehring sea ui-
bunal of arbitration. lie said before the
Pribylof i.lands were discovered pelagic
sealing had been exercisctl and the discov-
cry and ownership of the islands could not
destroy the previous right Of msnkini, Sic
Charles rcproachcd MIR, Cater, of the
American counsel. on having argued on
metaphy sizes and ethics, instead OF law. He
refuted the contention that the killing of
female seals was wrong, No law; Sir
Charles said, supported such q contention.
Mr.. Carter objected TO the version Of his
argument used by Sir Charles for tho pur-
pose of quotation and warm pas axe Of
words ensued between Mr.. Carter and Sir
Charles. The latter argued that Mr.. Car
tors contention that il was the duty of the
United States To preserve seals for mar
kind WAS only of academic interest, Sir
Charles quoted eases mentioned in the
American argument TO prove there could bs
no right of property in the acals.
Sir Charles went into minute analysis
of muricipal law of France. England and
the United States, rcspectiog property In
wild animals. TO prove that the law could
not be invoked In support of the American
claim to property in the seas. The onus
lay on the United States. Sir Charles de-
clared, to prove that the International Law
laid down the principle that seals are not
fersc naturae, or that nations were agreed
to except seals from the common right to
take from the sea whatever was found In
the sea.
The United States hal not proved, Sir
Charles contendcd, that pelHgic sealing, or
even the slaughter of gravid female seals,
WAS nm oiIcnse against international law.
Mr.. Carter challenged Sir Charles to
show when the United States government
vouched for Professor Elliot (formerly
American treasury agent for Pribylo6
islands) as the sole authoriy on seal life.
Sir Charles quoted from letters written by
MIR. Bayard. MIR. Blaine, Charles Gof,
American agent for pribylotf islands, In
which Prof. Elliot was thus referred to.
Sir Charles further submitted the appoint
ment Of Prof. Elliot as the American com.
missioner by special act IF Congress,
which was further proof that the unitcd
States government considered him an
authority on seal life.

ABSOLUTE SUCCESS
Marked the Exercises at Maine

Immense Attendance Of Sons and
Daughters Of Pine Tree State.

CHICAGO, BAY STATE HorEL, May "a
Special. The dedication of Maine's
building was a grand. fawless success. The
weather was exquisite and the building
beautifully decorated and allied to overflow
ing with sons and daughters of the State
from every section of the world.
The exercises were carried cut as per
programme, except that Nortiica could No,
sing, her manager not being willing. Sew
eral Chicago people who have attended the
dedicarions which have titus far occurred
say that Names effort echpses that of ar.
other state in completeness and in the il
tense interest exhibited by its children.
Governor Cleaves had two receptions. one
before and one after the exercises, being
compelled to do so to crafty the hundreds
of Maine people who insisted on taking him
by the hand.
President Hall C. Burleigh in a short
speech passed the Maine building over TO
the Governor, and the Governor in very
eloquent speech, full of feeling accepted
the building and then welcomed TO its port
ais all Maine's sons and daughters.
The Governor was listened to with rapt
attention and interrupted by frequent ahd
hearty applause.
Iltu- bDuH JtWttt, oHt Va Nhithko ittt-
ing law yers, formerly from Palmyra, for
Maines sons and daughters of Chicago, of
Illinois and the West, made most brilliant
and fitting response to Governor Clesves
address.
The Bar Harbor Quartet favored the I'M
mense audience with some delicious vocal
music. Miss Shaws volunteer selection
upon the harp was masterpiece
Georgia Cayvan is fine reader
and she excelled herself, and Nordica
captured all hearts in explaining why she
was unable to sing the number assigned IA
her. The Iowa State Band furnished de-
lightful selections at intervals.
Not single accident, mishap or misfor-
tune occurred to mar the occasion, and the
scene was brilliant with the grace and
beauty of lovely women, with strong and
manley looking men.
The back ground, the flashing waters OF
Lake Michigan. rejecting the great build
ings of the White City. the music, flowers
and the interstate pride of Maine people in
Maine made the event one of absolute and
entire success.

DESERrIOnS Of SAILORS.
Renswcd Attention Called 10 Evasions Of the
immigration Law.

W,-urNeroN. May 24-The fact tha,
perhaps 800 sailors deserted from the for
cign tl.ets at the recent naval review al
New York and entered this country without
paying the head tax exacted of immigrants
or undergoing an examination as provided
by the immigration laws, has called re-
newed attention to the fact that such prac
tices in less degree are almost of dali,
occurrence at the principal United States
seapOrts.
Immigration officials see no way with
their present force to prevent such persons
from entering this country. The vessels
lie off the docks and the sailors come ashore
at will. There seems to be no way to pre-
vent intending male immigrants from ship
ping before the mast in foreign countries
on vessels bound for the United States and
then deserving on arrival, coming ashore and
dispensing over the country.
