Friday, Aug. 10, Capt. N. S. Jordan of
the schooner Julia S Bailey, left the YES
sci at Newburyport, Mass, and went to
Boston to ship two sailors to complete his
crew for the trip home. He had about
5000 or $500 freight money about him. He
arrived in Boston all right, obtained the
two seamen and sent them to the vessel.
Since then all trace of him has been lost.
As he was of strictly temperate habits and
has always enjoyed the most excellent rep
utaton as to honesty, his absence is caus-
ing considerable alarm among his relatives
and friends in this city. No tidings have
been received from him since the 10th by
his family in this city, but in several letters
prior to that date he complained Of pecu-
liar feeling in bis head. The owners of the
vessel in Gardiner sent Capt. Geo. A.
Yeaton to Newburyport, Friday morning,
to take charge of the vessel and fathom the
mystery, if possible. 1t is thought here
that everything will come out all right.
The captain belonged to the A. o. U. w.
in this city, who have rendered to his fam
lily their aid, if required, to solve the mys.

A Communication.

ST. ALBANs, May 2S.
To the Editors Of the Eennebec Journal:
In your special correspondence from St.
Albans, of the Goth. somewhat mislead-
ing statement is made that the delegates
elected to attend the Waterville convention
were instructed to support Mr.. Milliken.
Now the fact of the case is this After the
delegates were chosen one of Mr.. Milli-
ken's ardent supporters, knowing that two
of the four delegates chosen would proba-
bly, support Mr.. Baker, made motion to
instruct the delegates to vote for Mr.. Mill
ken. Now who is to instruct them, the gen..
tleman who made the motion, or the caucus.
or the chairman of the caucus? l received
no such instructions. His motion merely
conveyed the idea that they be instructed
and doubt if the chairman entertained
the motion. Now there are two simple
reasons why shall attend the district con-
vention at Waterville as an uninstructed
delegate; one is that allow no man to in
struct or dictate to me how l shall vote
the other is that no one has offered to in
struct me, thinking perhaps that it wou
not be a pleasant job. 1t Is time the simple
farce of instruc,ing delegates ended. l
believe we yet live in a free country and
that every American citizen has the right
to vote 90 bis conscience and his manhood
dictates and have his voted counted.

THE SUGAR TRUST
Evidently Had Conferences
with Several Senators.
Senate Investigating Committee VIII
Show Such Evidence.
Will Also Prosecute Newspaper Men Who
Refused 10 Testify.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The report of
the sugar investigating committee will be
made to the Senate tomorrow and will dis
close procedure on the part of the commit
tee entirely unlocked for and some testi-
mony that appears to have an important
bearing upon the subject of the confer
ences between senators and members of the
Sugar Trust. The committee will report,
it is said, that they have directed the United
States district attorney to proceed against
Witnesses Shriver, Edwards and Walker,
before the grand jury, and have them in
dicted for crime, the committee holding
that under the almost forgotten act of 1857,
their refusal to testify before the Senate
committee is an offence and so punishable.
The committee will also submit the testi-
mony of Senator Caffery, which is said to
admit that number of conferences were
held between senators and representatives
of the Sugar Trust. 1t is said that in his
evidence Mr.. Gallery admitted that he had
been present at two conferences; aud in
reply to questions, said one of them was
held at the residence of Senator Brice. 1t
is understood at this conference, that Caf-
fiery said there were present, beside himself ;,
Senators Bsice, German and Hill and Mr..
Havemeyer, president of the Sugar Trust,
and other gentlemen Interest," in sugar.
Caffery also told the committee that at
this conference the Sugar people made an
argument in favor of change from a spe-
citic rate of duty, which had at that time
been agreed upon, to an ad valorem rate
which was subsequently adopted, but he
(Caffery) opposed the change, believing a
specific rate better for the producer of the
country.
The committee finally decided to report
resolution to the Senate, announcing its
failure to compel witnesses to answer and
asking for further instructions.
Ex-Speaker Sulzer of New York, has
| filed an argument in the nature of brief,
| denying the jurisdiction of the committee
in the matter and declaring against the se-
cret session of the committee, arguing that
| the proceedings are of such nature rs to
be resented by the American people.

FREE LUMBER.
Maine Senators Making a
Brave Fight Against It.
They Know Too Well How Their
Native State Would Suffer,
While Canada Wculd Reap a Rich Harvest At
Cur Expense.

WAsHINGroN, May 2s.-The Senate took
up the tariff bill. Hale offered an amend
ment to insert as the first para graph of the
lumber schedule, the provision of the exist
ing law putting duty of 81 per thousand
feet on sawed boards, So thousand feet on
sawed lumber, etc. Hale said of course
nobody would feel the competition from
Canada so directly as the Maine and New
Hampshire lumbermen, because his rival
was across the imaginary line and hal every
advantage, particularly those of cheap labor
and cheap transportation.
Hoar spoke in behalf of the interest of
the yeoman of New England, whose only
reliance for ready money was his wood lot.
If the lumber supply of Canada wa. let in
the industry of the lumbermen snd the
market for the farmer of New England
would be destroyed.
Frye argued that the removal of the duty
from lumber would have the effect of put
ting 81 200 900 into the Canadian treasury
Vest replied to the argument of the two
Maine senators. He said thousands of his
constituents on the prairies were selling
wheat at 80 cents bushel and getting moth
ing for their cattle and horses for they
could not be protected; but the price of
lumber was to be put up on them.
Hale intimated that Vest took care of
the interests of his constituents in advo-
eating, last Saturday, duty on lead ore.
Vest denied that he had done so. He had
several times, he said, voted for bill
which put lead on the free list and would
be glad to do so again. In the interest of
the Democratic party he was forced to con-
cede three-fourths of cent pound on lead
ore (half the present rate), although he
was opposed to it.
An amendment to Hale's amendment W as
offered by PETER to put undressed lumber
On the free list and impose a duty of %
cents thousand for each side planed or
finished; so cents when tongued and
grooved, and IS cents when planed on both
sides and tongued and grooved. Perkins,
Mitchell and Dolph argued against putting
lumber on the free list. The tariff bill
went over without action on either of the
pending amendments. The Senate, after
an executive session, adjourned.

FLEW HIGH IN AIR.
Terrific Explosions Throw Section Of q New
York Street Heavenward.

New YORK, May 2S.-There was great
excitement in the vicinity of Broadway and
Spring street, about 1890, today, when
succession of loud reports was heard and
portion of Spring street, east of Broadway,
was literally lifted to height of so feet.
Lucky, no one was hurt, though there were
number of narrow escapes.
The explosion is thought to have been
caused by badly insulated wire igniting
gas collected in subway which passes
through Spring street. Two large man
holes were blown to atoms, and the tracks
Of the Metropolitan cross-town line and
pavement ror distance of 80 feet was
blown up.
Occupants in the buildings in the direct
vicinity of the explosion became panic
stricken, and made wild rush to the street
or roofs.

ENGLISH AFFAIRS.
Letting Samoa AIone-SeaIing Decision Not
Binding Till Sanctioned by Parliament.

LONDON, May 28.-In the House of Com
mons, today, Sir Edward Grey, the under
foreign secretary, denied that the govern
ment had informed anybody that it was the
intention of Great Britain to consider the
Berlin agreement in regard to Samoa
neither was it true, he said, that the gov
eminent had received any communication
from the government of the United States
intimating desire to retire from Samoa.
Sir John Rigby, attorney general, in reply
to question, said the recommendation of
the Paris Behring sea tribunal concerning
regulations governing sea fisheries were not
binding upon British subjects until they
were embodied in an act of Parliament, nor
could penalties be inforced for acts com.
mitted before such act was passed.

Deputy Sheriff H. d. Cornish testified :
"Was called to arrest prisoner on charge of
wife murder. Found him at his brothers
house. His appearance was that of a
frightened man. He had knife, which was
bloody. He gave the knife up to his brother.
Took him to the lookup. He stated that he
was glad he had killed his wife and wanted
to die bimself. His brother furnished him
with supper. Did not notice on the way to
the lookup, that he WAS drunk, but after
entering he staggered
This being the last witness counsel for
the defense suggested that the bail, owing
to extenuating circumstances, be as light as
possible.
County Attorney Newell expressed sur
prise at the suggestion fer light bail on
so serious charge. He wished it was not
bailable offence. He wanted the bail such
that the prisoner would be at court next
August. One thousand dollars was the
usual amount for manslaughter, and $1,000
-hould be for premeditated murder. and he
asked that the bail be made at least $1,000.
Judge Fulton fixed the bail at $4,000 and
gave the prisoner till 3 P. M. to secure it..
