The following clipped from the Brook

springtime experience. The players I'M

he deserves little more, and asked ZOE

realize that he got good salary all last

TREASURER HALE'S LEGACY.
The disputed Notes Still an Issue
With FoxcrOft People.

Annual Town Report Does Not Include
Them Among Liabilities On the Other
Hand Surplus is Figured-Some Citi-
zens Not So Sure However.
Foxcroft, March 5.-The annual report
of Foxcroft's town officers for the year
ending March first and just issued is a
very interesting document as the exact
position of the town in regard to the re-
cent Hale defaloation is clearly shown. 1t
has created a mild sensation.
After the payment of the current ex-
penses, there is a balance of IS, 200 and
the estimated amount due on outstanding
notes in $4,000.
The big surplus was secured from large
collections of back taxes uncollected by
negligence of previous officials.
Foxoroft claims not to be liable for the
amounts of notes embezzled by the late
defaulting treasurer, but to be entirely
out of debt with good surplus on hand
besides. Some claim the rapport should
show debt of two hundred thousand dol
lars, being the estimated amount of the
principal and interest of the disputed
notes. The town officials do not see it
in that light.

West Buxton, March 5.-The water in
the Saco has gone down considerably; but
it is now nearly as high as it was in the
last freshet. The iron bridge of the Hol-
lis side is lying by the end of the factory.
A large hole is stove in the mill where
the bridge struck it. The Buxton bridge
is somewhat damaged by the logs and
ice. The houses on the river road on the
Buxton side are greatly damaged and
some nearly ruined as the ice jammed
against them and ground the wood work
to splinters. 1t is storming hard now
and if it continues cold the water will
hold when it is, and if it moderates and
rains and the ice which is in the vicinity
of Lilnington, gives away no one can tell
what more damage will occur. Mail ia

standstill. and communication with the

tousE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Significant speech by Member of the
Senate Committee of Conferees.

Washington March 5.-The conferees of
the Cuban resolutions today agreed to tn
House resolution without change. The
conferees were not iIa session over twenty
minutes. There was no dissenting vote
in accepting the House resolution, Dur
ing the discussion it was stated by a
prominent member of the Senate COM
mittee that the second clause of the SEN
ate resolutions which asks Spain TO recog-
nize the independence of the island, was
a wanton affront to the Spanish govern
ment and her people. By adopting it the
Senate had gone out of It's way to insult
Spain. The House resolutions, it was
pointed out, in addition to granting bel
ligerent rights, declared the only solu-
ton of the trouble was to be found in
IN Independent government of the choice
of the people of Cuba, and concluded
with the significant words that the Unit
ed States government should be prepared
to protect the Legitimate interests OF
Americans by intervention if necessary.
This looked as of more Importance
than anything to be found in the Senate
resolutions and 1T took no argument to
persuade the managers on the part OF the
Senate to accept the House resolutions.
