FEDERAL COURT NOTES.
A Skowhegan Citizen in a Troublesome
situation-some of the Indictments of the
Present Term-Prospect of Few Trials.

The grand jury of the United States Dis
tlict court have already Iisen and reported
list of indictments. The petit Jury will
come in this forenoon, when the arIaign-
ments will be made. 1t Is thought that most
of those indicted will not stand trial.
Among the indicted ones are Joseph Jackyl,
who broke into letter box at Augusta;
Robinson and lynn, the Andoyer post office
burgla and Mr. Cecil j. Burrill, of SHOW
hogan, who is indicted for sending through
the mails letter relating to LOTTERY
ticket. Judge Warren G. Philbrook, of
Waterville, was in the city yesterday.
having been retained by Mr.. Burrill for his
defense. The case is somewhat curious. 1t
seems, SO far as is at present known to the
public, that there we're circulating about
Skowhegan some lottery tickets. upon
which was printed the statement that they
were guaranteed by a certain New York
hank. Mr.. Burrill. TO oblige a friend as he
claims, wrote on to this bank asking them
if they stood back of the ticket. The bank
officers were indignant that the name of
their institution should be used for such "a
purpose, and at once put the matter into
the hands of a United States post office in
spector. He at once went to Skowhegan
and worked up the case,
George Laundry of Waterville, was fined
S25 yesterday for illegal selling of liquor.
He paid the fine.

man; young, full of life and humor
with clear, agreeable voice and a pre-
possessing manner.

Originality in Art and Literature" Ia
perhaps the most interesting. We con-

of play from New York paper wherein
the word brood was used as descriptive
of some of the features of the play. lie
asked his hearers if they knew what that
word .'brood'' meant in that connection.
He asked for somebody in the audience to
define it. Nobody did so. Thereupon he
declared that heswould do SO himself. He
said that the word meant nasty" and re-
mated it several times. There was some
kissing in the audience as result.
Mr.. Ross exclaimed. ''You can hiss me. if

rablene ss, to use no stronger term.

Arrival of the Rosarian,

The steamship Rosariau of the Allan line
arrived at noon yesterday from Quebec.
This is the first time that the Rosarian has
been in this port. The ship will load here
for London with general cargo. She came
into this port light because it was deemed
advisable for her to leave the st. Lawrence
before she would be frozen in.'' The
Rosarian was the last transatlantic ship to
leave the river. Her cargo will be trans
ferred to Portland by rail and she will
probably sail for Liverpool Lext Thursday.

Ayres. lumt erladen. She was towed out by
the tug Deme1est, and left at the bell buoy.
just outside Portland Head. sr captain
was unfamiliar with the Duoys and did not
keep sufficient distance from that one on
Alden's rock. 1t was bright sunshine and a
fair wind, and the bark was bowling along
at eight knots an hour, when she struck
Alden's rock. This rock comes to a Eeak
like the crown of soft hat. The bark
struck it squarely and went over into deep
water. But the shock was a tremendous
one, and the vessel was anchored. She
made water very fast and had soon sunk so
that there was three feet Of water over her
lower deck. The men at the life saving
station at. Trundys Reef, were watching
her and when they saw signal of distress
they launched their boat and put off to the
vessel The signal was hoisted not for fear
of laundering, because the lumber cargo
would prevent that, but for fear she might
roll over, when full of water. Luckily she
had $50 tons of ballast, and that prevented
her from rolling over.
The life saving men went ashore and tele-
phoned to Captain Matthews of the tug
Demarest, which had just returned to the
dock when the message came. He immedi-
ately sought the aid of the cutter Dallas,
for fear that the bark might turn over wheE
he should start to tow her in her water
logged condition.
When they reached Eere there was five
feet of water over the lower deck. The keel
had been knocked off completely and fioated
up to the bark's side when they started to
tow her.
They reached Sturtevant's wharf without
mishap. The cargo is of course soaked, and
will have to be taken out, adifdcult matter,
as lumber must be slowed with much care.
This cold weather it may freeze. and may
not get dry enough to ship till spring comes.
The expense will be very heavy.
The bark is owned by Swan & Son of New
York, and was consigned to J. S. Winslow
Co. She was loaded with lumber by
William Haskins. Her masters name is
Captain Lord of Ellsworth. Apparently her
bottom has been very badly damaged.

No PEACE.
And There Does Not Likely

Time to Come Yet.
Why the On,ces OF the United States as
Mediator Have not Been
Accepted by Japan.

! WASHINGTON. Nov. LIT is stated
here in official circles that Japan has
not yet accepted the invitation Of the
| United States to submit the question
OF peace with China to our mediation
! While the statement is probably cor
rect, there is reason to believe that Jap
an has requested. as preliminary TO ac
I tion upon our invitation. that she be
/ Informed explicitly just what terms
China has to propose as basis Of treaty
/ Up to this moment China has not sub
mitted any definite proposals, SO that
/ the delay appears to be rather on her
part than on Japans.
II could not fairly be expected that
the Japanese wouldhalt IN their tr.
umphant march. aud perhaps afford
their opponents a very potent opportun-
ity 10 rally from their disOrganized con
dition unless Japan is furnished with
some satisfactory proposition by China
that may be binding beyond question
upon the latter No such satisfactory
proposition has yet been made by China
but. on the contrary, Chinese tenders
so far have been on a basis that could
not he accepted with safety aud consis
tency by Japan.
For instance, tn. Chinese proposition
was that Corea be evacuated by both
Chinese and Japanese troops. Inas-
much as the principal cause Of the war
was Japan's contention that the entire
/ Coresn administrative and financial sys.
TEN must be reformed on modern lines.
aud that Japan must undertake the
task. the temporary occupation of the
country at least by japan was a neces-
sary condition. And conditioning that
japanese troops eyacuate China imme-
diately would also violate all precedent
for IL is customary in sucn cases for the
victorious nation tn remain in possession
OF the captured territory as pledge un-

An official who has given much at

that Russia will never consent to any

cupation Of Cores by Japan unless she
is herself allowed to take possession of a
