TO SECURE PURE WATER.
The Town. of Deer Isle Takes the Health
Boards Advice.

RocKLAND, April 3.--The town OF
Deer Isle is taking steps to put in a
water supply. Last fall the town suffer-
ed an epidemic of typhoid. When 1S
deaths had been reported the State Board
of Health directed DIR. Francis E. Hitch
cock, chairman of the Rockland Board of
Health to visit Deer Isle and report the
conditions. DR.. Hitchcock made a
thorough research, finding that faulty
drainage had contaminated several priv
ate and one public well, which he order
ed filed up. So complete were his in
vestigations and methods or treatment,
that not another case of typhoid occur
red. His report to the State Board of
Health, based on his investigations of
this case, clearly shows that typhoid
must be taken through the stomach, and
the State Board has paid high COM
pliment to his report, which is to be
printed. DR.. Hitchcock's survey of the
town pointed out feasible water system
available from Pine Lake, a mile from
the town, which it is purposed now to
utilize.

BaYARp,s PROPOSALS.

BAYARD'S PROPOSALS.
Democrats Trying to Suppress His Pro-
positions to the Czar's Government,
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Bering
Sea correspondence and the cases of the
two governments were submitted to the
Senate in executive session today but
were not read. The Russian treaty was
taken up. The Senate is no nearer the
solution of the question whether to re-
lease the injunction of secrecy than a
week or ten days ago. The discussion
hinges upon Just what amount shall be
made public. The Republicans insist
that the treaty as accepted should be
published along with the original text as
negotiated by Mr.. Bayard during Mr..
Cleveland's first term, SO it shall appear
exactly what was proposed and what
was accepted. The Democrats oppose
this. No conclusion was reached.
An Important Decision.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The supreme
court today in a long opinion rendered
by Justice jackson, decided that fu-
gitive from justice rendered under ex-
tradition proceedings by one state to
another, may be constitutionally tried in
the latter state upon an indictment
charging another offense than the one
set forth in the warrant Of extradition.

An American Sensation of Several
Months Ago.

Months Ago.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The discovery,
which seems by dispatches from London
to have reached the news editors of the
London Standard and st. James Gazette
for the first time yesterday, in regard to
false and garbled translations of Russian
document in the case as originally pre-
pared for the United States in the Beh-
ring Sea controversy, is old ON this side
of the water. A full statement of the
facts was published here November 13
last, and on subsequent dates. Our own
State Department discovered that Ivan
Petroff, special agent, employed to OBJ
tain data on this seal matter, had been
fabricating alleged facts and garbling the
documents. Through the instrumental
ty of Mr.. Foster, now United States
agenti in Paris, Petroff was dismissed
from the service and the garbled docu-
ments replaced by accurate translations.
1t is said at the department that no part
of the argument of the United States
was founded upon the fabrications thus
cancelled, and that the argument of the
United States was not prepared until
long after Petroff's, forgeries had been
exposed.

THE WORLD or LABOR.
The knights and Federation Considering
Combined Effort.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The Herald says
that as result of the clothing cutters
lockout in this city, one of the most inn
portant labor movements of recent years
is on foot. This is an effort to patch up
the differences that have long existed be-
tween the Knights of Labor and the
American Federation of Labor, so that
the two bodies may work in harmony on
all labor matters. The feeling has been
steadily gaining ground since the decis-
lou of Judge Ricks in the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Northern Michigan trouble,
that new methods must be adopted by
organized labor. The injunctions issued
by Judge Lawrence on Wednesday and
Saturday of last week brought this feel
ing to head, as it was considered that
labor is now at disadvantage in it's
struggle with capital, in view of the new
tactics of the latter. The successive ap-
peals to the court show that the old
methods of strike and boycott are becom-
ing Intellectual in view of the present
factional quarrels existing between the
different organizations. All the talk now
is in favor of union of the two great
bodies-the knights of Labor and the
American EeQofatiOn.
Guilty of Criminal Conspiracy.
TOLEDO, O., April 3.-This morning,
Judge Kicks, in the United States Circuit
Court. renIlened his decision in the case
of the Lake Shore engineers who, obey
ing the laws of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, refused to handle
Ann Arbor freight, as there was strike
on that road. The court held that En-
gineer Lennon was guilty of contempt of
court, inasmuch as he had been twice or
dered to move the cars by the officials of
the company, but did not do SO until or
dered to by Brotherhood officers after the
boycott was raised. The seven other
men were discharged.
After Judge Ricks's decision was rem
dered in the case of the engineers and
firemen, he proceeded to read the decis-
ion of the circuit court. composed of
himself and Judge Taft, in the motion
of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company,
asking a temporary injunction against
Chief Arthur, restraining him from issu-
ing any order which shall require or
command any employe of any of the de-
fendant railroad companies to refuse to
receive. handle or deliver any cars of
freight in course of transportation from
one state to another from and to the Ann
Arbor road.
The decision, which was written by
Judge Taft, grants the injunction prayed
for, and declares that If the members of
the Brotherhood, in obedience to rule u,
boycott freight. they "become guilty of

and Forced the Crew to Seek Safety
in Their Dories.
Especial to the Press.l
HALIFAX, N. S., April 3-Another hard
story was told to the PRESS correspond
ent this evening, by a seaman from the
wrecked schooner William H. Jordan.
The Jordan left Gloucester on the Esd of
December, with a crew of IA men under
command of Captain Edward Carew.
For two weeks fairly good weather pre-
vailed, but after that continuous gales
were encountered. The vessel caught
over 5000 pounds of halibut, which were
sold at st. Pierre, where the schooner re-
fitted for another trip. During the first
week in March hurricane was encoun-
tered. A dory was ripped from it's fas-
Jennings and dashed to pieces. When off
st. Mary's, Newfoundland, on the goth of
March, the Jordan was caught in anoth-
er hurricane. The crew say they never
experienced such blow before. Just
previous to the sudden bursting of the
gale the water was as calm as mill pond
Suddenly the sky grew dark and huge
clouds made their appearance, followed
by flashes of lightning in quick success
sion. Balls of fire played around the
spars of the vessel, and the wind blew at
the rate of 40 miles an hour. The waves
washed over the schooner, taking two of
the dories and other articles with them.
While scudding along last Tuesday, the
schooner struck a ledge off Great Bret.
The wind was blowing from a bad quar-.
10 l.,
among the breakers.
A dory was launched but it lived only
for short time before wave capsized
it against the schooner's side, breaking
it into splinters. The crew with much
difficulty landed in the remaining dories,
minus nearly all their clothing. The
night was very cold and it looked as
though the crew would have to weather
it out all night on the shore. But they
soon noticed light some miles off and
this was found to be in fisherman's
house, and then the seamen found lodg-
ings. On the following day the crew
was taken to Little Bay and thence to
Halifax on the steamer Havana. Capt.
Carew and three men remained at Great
Bret. to secure anything that might be
washed ashore from the wreck. When
she struck, the schooner had 200O pounds

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Senate be-
gan today its fifth week of its extraordi-
nary session, with fair attendance of
Senators. As soon as the journal of
Thursday last was read, Mr.. Hoar pre-
sented the petition of Joseph w. Ady,

that he (Ady) was elected and desired to
be admitted to his seat. The petition
was referred to the committee on priv
leges and elections.
Mr.. Stewart presented the resolutions
adopted by the Nevarda Legislature in
favor of the passage an of act for the re-
funding of the Indebtedness of the Cen
tral Pacific railroad company to the

being that if the property of the company.
should pass into the hands of the govern
ment, it would be exempted from state
and local taxation. The resolution was
referred to the committee on Pacific
railroads.

it inexpedient to pass the joint resolu-
ton of the last House of Representatives

Mr.. Hcrrop says that two men who will back
the project with their money have already
been secured to act as directors and the other
four will be secured by the early part Of
