What the F. w. Banner Company are
Showing In Musical Instruments for
Christmas.
Those of our readers who have not
recently visited the F. w. Banner Co.'S
warerooms, should do so and examine
the beautiful stock of pianos they are
now showing. AS is well known, the
Banner Company occupy three full
floors in their music business, and they
have rented additional warerooms dur
ing the holidays in which to display
their organs, so TO have increased space
for six car loads of pianos ordered and
received for the holiday trade. On FRI
day we counted forty-seven an new up
right, three go grand, and several square
pianos on their floors. These pianos
were shown in a great variety OF cases
and in all the fancy woods. Several
Steinways, specially selected for the
Christmas trade. together with large
number of Krakauers were especially
noticeable. One krakauer piano in a
large, fancy walnut case with three
hand carved panels in the music desk
and heavy panelled ends, is very
pretty design. A Clifford piano, also In
walnut, has an oval or rainbow front,
beautiful in design, which is elaborate
ly hand carved and left in dull finish,
which brings out in rich contrast the
beautiful walnut veneer surrounding
it, Another instrument of mahogany
has long panel, elliptical in shape.
also richly hand carved, and OF very
original and attractive design.
At no previous time has such atten-
ton been given to the design of piano
cases, and the result is that the present
styles show a greater variety and
beauty than ever before. The Banner
Company have selected some OF the.
most beautiful desig effered by the
different manufacturer 1i1

ingtOn. Mr.. Mclean has been considered
the Democratic candidate for senator and
his departure is regarded as an indication
that he comedies the Legislature to The
Republicans. Notwithstanding the numer-
Gus notices of contest. Before his de-
parture Mr.. Mclean held conference
with Chairman McConville and other
Democratic leaders.
There is nothing known as to the prob
able policy of the Democrats as a minor
ity in the Legislature, but it is believed
they will join the anti-Hanna Republic
atOr.
The question has been raised as to
whether 70 votes are necessary to elect a
senator, that number being a majority of
all. If a majority of a quorum only is
necessary, some might be sick or absent,
as that would be less embarrassing than
to be present and vote against the caucus
nominee.
The point has also been raised as to the
succession to the Governorship. If Gov.
Bushnell should be elected senator by n
fusion, the Lieutenant Governor. A. W.
Jones, would become the Chief Executive
AS the State Senate is Democratic by 10

would succeed Jones and be in line for

DiONNE IS DISCHARGED.
End Of Charge Of Cheating and False Pre-.
fences At Lowell. Mass.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. I'm the NUM-
cipal court, Saturday, William Dionne
the Lewiston liquor constable, was dis
charged from the bonds under which
he was placed when arrested by State
Detective Odlin, on Middlesex county
Massachusetts, warrant sworn out by
one John Thompson, for alleged cheat
ing and false pretences. The case has
been settled.
Mr.. Morey, Dionnes counsel, shove
in court, that the indictment against
Dionne was mol pressed, Friday, by the
Middlesex county court. The man who
had started for Houlton to get requi-
sition papers for Dionne was recalled.
The latter went to Massachusetts vol
unfairly.
The counsel for Dionne was told by
the district attorney of Middlesex
county that parties in Lewiston were
to pay half the costs of prosecuting
Dionne. 1t is again charged here that
the case against Dionne was one of
persecution, instigated by the leaders
of the socalled county ring" on ac-
count of Dionne's activity in making
raids against Lewiston saloon keepers
who are friends of the ring and whom
they wished to protect.

$4,000 MISSING.
Micah N. Foster, Treasurer
Of the Lubec Savings Bank,
Charged With EmbezzIement--He Is
Arrested and Lodged in Jail.
Denies Guilt and Declares that He Can Provo
His Innocence.

Lubec, Me-, Nov. 7-Micah M. Fos-
ter, treasurer of the Lubec Savings
Bank, which was recently closed, was
arrested, Saturday, on the charge of
embezzling $4,000 of the funds Of the
institution. Although it was known
that an examination of the banks af-
fairs had been in progress some time,
the arrest caused a great sensation.
Mr.. Foster says that he will establish
his innocence when the case comes to
trial.
The Lubec Savings Bank was closed
last summer, after having been in a
very precarious condition several
weeks. by order of the bank examiner.
Most of it's depositors were sardine
fishermen and packers.
The amount of the assets and LA
bilities is not exactly known yet. An
examination of the books has been go
ing on several weeks, with the result
that discrepancies were found in the
accounts, an apparent shortage of
about $4,000 being discovered this
week. when a warrant was Immediate
ly issued for the arrest Of the treas
urer.
After Mr.. Fosters arrest he was
taken before Justice Newcomb, in East
port. and arraigned on charge Of en-
bezzlement. He pleaded mot guilty"
and waived examination. The court
ordered him held for the grand jury of
Washington county, which meets in
January. The amount of bail was
placed at $4,000, and as Mr.. Foster was
not prepared to furnish that amount,
he was committed to Machias Jail. An
effort will be made by his friends to
furnish the required bonds for his re-
lease.
The Hon. Henry B. Cleaves of Port
land, Ex-Governor of Maine, and Will
liam Pattangall of Machias, have been
retained to defend Foster.
The Lubec bank is one of the small
cts institutions of the kind in the State.
The treasurer's bond is only $4,000, and
the bondsmen will be called on to pay
that amount, providing the trial goes
against Foster.
1t is claimed that the banks affairs
have been loosely managed, and that
several Irregularities in the transfer
of certain securities have been found.
Treasurer Foster is 20 years old, and
has always been highly respected.

MAINE CENTRAL CHANGES.
Offices Abolished =oivisiuMs Consolidated
Officials Resign and Others Promoted.

Portland, Me-, Nov. 7.-Important
changes on the Maine Central are an
nounced, being a consolidation in the
operating department. The Mountain
and Quebec divisions are to be CONSOLE
dated and both superintendent, Jonas
Hamilton, and Wellington Sprague, are
removed. George F. Black, formerly
superintendent of the Quebec division.
and more recently assistant engineer of
the whole line, has been appointed the
new division superintendent.
Morris Mcdonald, assistant to Gen
eral Manager Evans, has had his Off
cial title changed to general superin-
tendent This involves no change in
his duties, as Mr.. Mcdonald has been
doing the work of a general superin-
tendent for several months, without
carrying the title.
Z. A. Hall will hereafter be superin-
tendent of the main line division So
called. between Portland and Bangor,
including the Lewiston and Skowhe-
gan lines.
Mr.. Hamilton, who has been in the
stated, be retained in the service of the
company.

the Union Station, has resigned and his
place has been offered to Mr.. Sprague

dent has been abolished. He is ex-
pected to accept.

THE PICKER MUTINEERS
will Be Tried at Alexandra, Va, So
Decides Uncle Sam.
Prisoners Transferred to Norfolk Jail-No
One Allowed to See Them.

washington, NOV. THE mutineers
of the schooner Oliver Pecker will be
tried in Alexandria, Va. AS Assistant
Attorney Gen. Boyd stated, the de-
partment of justice has finally come to
the point of formally deciding that this
should be done. Accordingly the navy
department telegraphed to Capt. Stir
ling of the Lancaster to turn over the
prisoners to the United States mar
shall in Norfolk, and District Attorney
White of Norfolk has been ordered to
prepare to prosecute the case.
The plain language of sec. I73O of the
Revised Statutes really left the govern
ment no alternative, for if it had taken
the prisoners to Boston and prosecuted
them there, after the Lancaster had
stopped at Hampton Roads, the ques-
ton Of jurisdiction would unquestion-
ably have been raised successfully by
counsel for the defence. The following
is the language of the statute:
1.-The trial of all offences committed
upon the high seas or elsewhere out of
the jurisdiction of any particular state
or district shall be in the district where
the offender is found, or into which he Is
first brought"
1t is this last clause-"or into which he
is first brought" makes it neces-
sary to try this case in the eastern dis
trict of Virginia. The Lancaster brought
the prisoners within that Jurisdiction
when it came within the three-mile limit
of the shore. and thus made it the dis
trict into which the offenders were first
brought"
The reason why the case will be tried
in Alexandria, rather than in Norfolk. is
that the case can hardly be prepared for
the November term of the district court
which is now in session. In January the
district court will meet in Alexandria,
and in May it will meet in Richmond.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd says
that District Attorney White will be eX-
pected to have the cases ready for trial
at the January term in Alexandria. So
licitor General Richards, who has gone to
see his brother on the Lancaster. will con-
fer with District Attorney White in Nor
folk about the prosecution.

INTENSELY BITTER
Is the feeling in Spain Against
the United States.
Interest Centers in What Minister
woodford May Do or Say.
Secretary Long Declares 1hsrs's No Fear
Of War With Spain. :.

New York, Nov. 7.-Capt. William
Wyndhan, who has been transferred
as British consul at Chicago, after
three years service in similar capa-
city. at Barcelona, Spain, was a pas
senger on the French liner, La Bre-
tagne which arrived here from Havre,
today. After spending a week with
relatives in Philadelphia, he will leave
for his new post at Chicago. He said:
1.-The feeling in Spain against the
United States is one of great bitterness.
There have been no demonstrations in
Barcelona or whereabouts within the
last year against the United States and
the Spanish government is taking care
that there shall be none. The bitter
ness, however, is very marked, particu-
larly so in Barcelona. e-t.,-f.
Before the Cuban war Barcelona,
one Of the great manufacturing centers
of Spain, prOspered chiefly on it's trade
with Cuba and Manila. The war in
Cuba and the Philippine islands has
cut off this trade. Barcelona has lost
the best and most lucrative market she
enjoyed. Only, one-third -pf-the men
hitherto employed in heri factories are
now working and they are on reduced
time. All over the manufacturing CEN
tiers of Spain there is similar CONNER
cial prostration.
THE Spanish cannot understand why
the United States. a friendly nation,
should allow so many filibustering ex-
petitions to get off safely to Cuba That
fact makes them additionally bitter.
When l left Spain there were no
symptoms of anger against Hannis
Taylor, the late minister of the United
States to that country. The Spanish
were too much absorbed in what Gen.
Woodford. the new minister. may do or
say. I heard no talk there of war with
the United States. Spain has not the
money to wage war. AS for the re-
ported prospective uprising of the Car
lists, l don't think there is much dan
ger of that now"

HAVING At BATES COLLEGE.
Franks Of Freshmen that May Cause Trouble
for Some Of Them.

Lewiston. Me-, Nov. IA case of
hazing by Bates College freshmen,
which is likely to get the perpetrators
into serious trouble. is reported here.
1t appears that for some time the
sophomores have been hazing the
freshmen, and the latter determined to
be revenged. Friday evening, sopho-
more named Willis. who was thought
to be ringleader in the hazing affairs,
attended an entertainment in Auburn,
and after it was over started to escort
a young lady home. They were met by
a dozen or more freshmen, who forci-
bly, compelled the sophomore to go to
wild and gloomy spot by the West
Pitch, on the banks of the Androscog-
gin.
1t is claimed that but for the inter-
vention Of one of the freshmen, Willis
would have been thrown into the river
above the falls, and if so he certainly
would have drowned, as the pitch is a
place where several people have lost
their lives.
Willis. was also beaten and tied to a
tree; on his forehead was marked
1901, ard he was then left until morn
ing. 1t has been reported that the fig
ures on his forehead were marked with
preparation containing acid, and that
they cannot be removed. This, how
ever, is now claimed to be untrue.
Owing to the rough usage to which
he was subjected, Willis has been
obliged to leave college and go to his
home. The affair has caused much
talk, and it is reported that the faculty
are to take prompt and severe meas
ures against the guilty parties.

NO FOUNDATION FOR IT.
Secretary Long Says There's Not the Slightest
Fear Of War with Spain.

Washington, Nov. 7-"There is alb
-solutely no foundation for this Cuban
ssar scare. There has not been a meet
ing of the cabinet for two months when
the forecast, so far as foreign affairs
are concerned, was So pacificatory.
1.-The prospect for the navyis so quies-
cent that the captain of our biggest
ship has been ordered to Washington
and is sitting upon a board to prepare
| bill for the reorganization of the per-
sonnet of the navy service. The rest
of the big ships are now undergoing
their winter repairs"
Secretary Long made this statement
to me, because of the sensational
reports which have been published dur
ing the last few days that the relations
between the United States and Spain
We're in such condition that war was
impending.
Positive information which obtained
today shows conclusively that Presi-
dent Mckinley regards the Cuban sit
uatiOn as most pacific, nor does he eX-
pect any developments at the present
time which will be just reason for
alarm. l am able to state authoritive-
ly that it is the firm determination of
the President to give Spain a reason
able time in which to test the new
policy which General Blanco has been
authorized to put into effect in Cuba.
He has been officially informed Of the
intention of Spain to abandon the re-
concentration policy, and he is daily
expecting the announcement that Gen.
eral Blanco has issued an order extend
ing the zones of cultivation in Cuba.
The prospect Of a more humane con-
duct of the war is a reason in the opin-
ion of the President, why this govern
ment should go slowly in further inter-
fering in the Cuban matter. There
fore, officials say. the reports of inn
pending trouble are false on their face.
Washington and Madrid are acting in
full accord, they declare, and, SO far as
the President is concerned. he proposes
to deal with the Cuban question in
sober calm and dignified manner.
There is absolutely no truth in the re-
port that this government has replied
to the charge of failure to compel COM
