SCARE AT FoxCRoFT.
The Town May Have to Pay All of Defaul-
ter HaIe's Notes.

Bangor, February 6. 5.-Transactions full
of Significance are reported from Fox
croft.
These are the sale and purchase of the
notes given by the late Judge Hale who,
as treasurer of the town, was a defaulter
to the amount of about S1S5, 900.
The so-called bogus Hale notes appear
to be better appreciated than it was gem
orally supposed they were.
Within q few days some of the note
holders have dumped at the chance of
selling them at 30 cents and 25 cents on
q dollar. Two notes representing $500,
changed hands at that rate the other day,
and what is considered as remarkable
circumstance is that the purchasers were
both Foxcroft mon owning valuable real
estate
Theffact that these notes are being pur-
chased shows that there is a belief on the
part of mOneyed and and WE'LL informed
men that the town will be eventually
obliged to pay, and that this view of the
case is causing something of a scare in
that town.
There is rumor afioat that several
wealthy men will buy up large
amount of the notes at as great a dis
count as possible. and will then bring
suit against the town for the recovery Of
the amounts.
For some time many people were
serenely confident that the town would
not be ruined by having to pay $1S5, 600
or thereabouts, but now a change has
come over their dream.

There was q strong feeling that all
should be treated alike, especially on the
part of the New York Republicans and
others from the Central States The
Democrats understanding this feeling,
resolved to vote solidly against the bill
when it should come up. The mass of
the Rep ublicans while not feeling salts
fed with the bill, feel that it would be
worth while to defeat the whole District
Of Columbia appropriation pill, because
a small portion Of it was unsatisfactory.
They preferred to wait until the bill
should come back from the Senate. but
enough voted with the Democrats to
cause the bill to fail of passage This
is
AN UNUSUAL Thing
to befall an appropriation bill. When the
Republican leaders saw what had hap
pened they pulled the party together, re-
considered the vote and sent the bill
back to the appropriations committee to
be modified. This will save beginning
with the whole appropriation BILL over
which nearly week has already been
spent.

The substitute for the Cuban resolution
reported to the Senate today by the com
mittee on foreign relations, goes further
than did the resolution reported to the
Senate short time ago. There was a
diversity of opinion in the committee as
to the advisability of Congress passing a
resolution recognizing the Insurgents, a
majority holding that such recognition
was function of the executive solely,
with which Congress could not properly
interfere.
After some discussion, the conolu usion
was reached that Congress could go no
farther than to express it's opinion that
certain conditions existed, and declare
that the United States ought to maintain
strict neutrality and accord to each side
belligerent rights. 1t is believed by
members of the committee that if this
resolution passes both houses, the P1esi-
dent will follow the implied request of
Congress and grant the insurgents rights
of belligereney. The committee decided
that this resolution should be called up
in the Senate.
