YET IN EARLY STAGES
The Negotiations Regarding Arbitration
With England.
No Recent Dimensions Between secre-
bassador Have Taken Place.

1t is stated on authority that no recent
negotiations have taken place between Sec
rotary Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote
the British ambassador. concerning a new
arbitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, and Sir Julian
has not spoken of the matter to Secretary
Sherman since he returned some weeks ago
from London. These explicit statements
were called out by a report published in
London newspaper. to the effect that nego-
ttations on the new treaty had progressed
to the final stage, that it would be modi-
fed version of the former OlneyPaunce-
fote treaty, and that 1t was now so far
along that it would be submitted to the
Senate soon after it assembled.
According to official fully conversant
with all negotiations of this character, the
little that has been done is far short of
completion. Thus far the matter has not
gone beyond a preliminary suggestion that
negotiations be resumed. But there has
not been even the first stage of negotia-
tfons Not note on the subject has been
exchanged since Mr.. Sherman entered the
State Department. The alleged phrases
from Lord Salisbury's notes are manifestly
conjectural, as Lord Salisbury has sub
mitted no notes in any way touching the
question Necessarily the negotiation of a
treaty of such Importance would be a work
OF some time, and would call forth many
HOteS, as was the case with the Olney-
Pauncefote treaty, which resulted from a
years correspondence between Secretary
Olney and Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian
Pauncefote. But as the first stage of nego-
tfatfons has not yet been reached, it is not
probable that the proposed treaty will be
| ready for submission to the Senate for
some time.
The little that has been done on the
treaty question has been set forth in The
Star. Some months ago an intimation was
/ convened bY the authorities hQro hat
renewal of negotiations on the treaty
would be viewed with favor. In anticipa-
| tor of such a renewal rough draft of
treaty was drawn up. The negotiations
were not begun, however. as it was felt
the rejection of the last treaty made it in
advisable to make new one until positive
evidence was at hand that it would not
meet the same unfavorable action at the
hands of the Senate. Sir Julian then went
to London for the summer. and undoubt-
edly discussed the subject with the author
| tiles there. He met Mr.. Cremer, ex-menl-
Der of parliament, who has urged an ar
bitration agreement. and went over the
subject with him. 1t was thought the am
bassador on his return from London would
discuss the matter with Mr.. Sherman, and
that negotiations might be opened. But he
has not done SO up to this time.
When the ambassador RECEIVERS from his
present attack of rheumatism which con-
| fines him TO his room. he will probably pre-
sent the treaty matter to Mr.. Sherman.
This may lead to official negotiations be-
| tween the two governments, although the
present outlook is very much against any
steps whatever toward q new treaty in the
immediate future.

That FAIRY Story Of Ours.

The Bangor Commercial, very good
paper by the way, the editors OF which
have decided penchant for copying
the news articles from the Journal
makes fruitless attempt to stamp as
a fake the story sent out from this city,
Friday, of the supposed drugging of
Phillip Harbach of Bangor. We are
indebted to the Commercial for the cor
rect spelling of Phillips name.
The Bangor contemporary acknowl-
edges the existence of Mr.. Harbach.
that he lives in Bangor: that he bought
a ticket, Thursday. for Seattle or that
sit may be that his mother bought it
for him" and that he took Conductor
McKenney's train at the hour specified,
all of which was contained in the story
in the Journal of Saturday morning.
The Commercial following it's COM
mon rule. prints the story as told in
the Journal and then attempts to ex-
plode the story by publishing the fact
that Harbachs mother received a
postal card from him saying that he
was in Portland, Saturday morning,
waiting for the departure Of the train.
The Commercial also adds that from
inquiry made on Saturday, that Har-
bach came back to this city on the
morning Pullman, from Waterville,
and took the early train for Portland,
without going to his home"
Well, that's about what we said and
we got our information from the ply
stefan who was called to attend him.
and the station hands in this city. AT
the time he was taken off at this sta
ton his ticket for Seattle could not be
found and searching failed to show any
money although it may have been on
his person.
If his ticket had been found he would
not have been sent back to Bangor and

attorney. Hon. Il. F. Webb, served pa
pers on City Clerk Brown, Saturday
citing the city into court to show cause
why the city should not pay the COM
pany the sum of $114 for hydrant
rental for the half year ending July !,
1897 We have failed to find anyone
who will say that the city does not owe
the Water Co. or that the company
should not be paid. 1t is rather the
method of payment of the hydrant
rental that has brought about the
suit.
I In June of this year, the plaintiif
company owed and still owes the city
$t7OO for taxes. When the company
presented the bill for hydrant rental
the mayor suggested that the amount
be credited to the company on the
taxes and the companys Dill was
placed upon the roll of accounts Tor the
month of July. Now it so happens that
the taxes of the city draw interest
after Oct. /, and the company evident
ly wanted to use their $1134 until that
date.
Nothing has been said or done about
the matter since the presentation ii
lIlc VII Nv luC SOIipohS ~ -
seance that was held in July between
the company's attorney. Mr.. Webb, ana
the mayor and City Solicitor Eaton, at
which time Mayor Redington and Mr.
Eaton held that it was but fair that
the company should allow the Dill to
go on the tax account. Mr.. WeDb ot
course objected to this and things Went
on in the good old way until Saturday
when the last day of service for the
October term of court having arrived
Mr.. Webb, who has shown cleverness
in this delay, served the papers. thus
giving the city no time in which to
serve papers for an account to offset
that of the company. AS 1t appears
from the road the city has got to pay
the amount of the bill with interest
for two and a half months C$lD beside
the costs of court. Mr.. Webb serves
notice that the company will ask for 4
trial of their cause at the October
term of court, by this time the taxes u
the company will be duel.
About the only thing to be gained
out of this suit is the $1i that the COM
pany will receive for interests, which
evidently was what the company
wanted in the first instance. and of
course the company doesn't care how
much it costs the city to be obliged to
pay it. If the city wins of course the
case will be carried up" and then we
will have two cases in court with the
company, but that the city will not
win. is the Judgment of those who
should know.
In the meantime the city marshal
says that the mayor is having grand
time down on the coast of Maine.
There are some people in the city who
envy him.

Shall We Have Polo This Winter =?

Here is Chris Tooe of Bangor, knock
ing at Watervillc's door and asking that
we get into the game of polo with him in
an Eastern Maine League. w. A. Barry
of Waterville received a communication
from Mr. Toole, Saturday. in which the
plan was set forth looking toward the
formation of such league, taking in
Bangor. Watervilc, Belfast and Show
hogan. Chris thinks the game can be
made to pay in such a league, but we are
at a loss to know how we are going to get
into it. Years ago there was a good bit
of interest in polo in Waterville. That was
when the roller skating craze was fast
upon the rising generation of that day.
1t remains to be seen now whether there
is any sporting blood in Watervifle at this
time. Surely there is not an over-abun-
dance of it, but it is possible that suffi-
cicnt gold may he raised to overcome the
expense of a team. Who will take hold of
the matter is yet to be seen, SO that all
We can say to Mr.. Toole at this time is,
We have the matter under advisement
