BEtiRING SEA SEALS.
Correspondence Between MIR. Hay and
Lord Salisbury.

Washington, September 20.-The State
Department today made public the cor
respondence in the Behring sea negotia-
tions which were set free recently in Lon
don. The new matter is comprised in
two letters, July rs and go last, from Lord
Salisbury and Ambassador Hay respec-
lively. In Lord Salisbury's note is the
definition from the British standpoint of
the exact scope of the conference in this
language:
II have to state that her majesty's gov
eminent is willing to agree to a meeting
of experts nominated by Great Britain
and Canada and by the United States in
October next when the further investiga-
ton to be made on the islands during
the present season will have been COM
pleted. The object of the meeting would
be to arrive if possible at the correct con-
illusions respecting the numbers, condit-
ions and habits of the seals frequenting
the Prybloff Islands at the present time
as compared with the several seasons
previous and subsequent to the Paris
award.
ut seems to her majesty government
that Washington would be the most
suitable place TOR such a meeting'
Ambassador Hay, in his reply, which Is
very short, and is mainly repetition of
Lord Salisbury's language, calls atten-
tion to one Important point that may
have been overlooked by the British side
or else ignored purposely, namely, thaS
the conference is to be international in
one sense and is not to be confined en-
tirely to representatives of the United
States and Great Britain.

VIII of Andrew j. Garvey, the Tweed
Contractor, to be Contested.

New York, September 20.-The unolef
and neices and nephews of Andrew j.
Garvey, the Tweed contractor, who died
in England last April, have contested
his will on the ground that he gave more
than one-half of his estate to Charitable
institutions, although he left widow.
1t is not Mrs. Garvey, however, concern
ing whom they are worrying. She has no
compliant to make.
In his will he bestowed the bulk of his
estate, estimated to be worth between
$500, 600 and $780, to Is hospitals and
charitable institutions. The will was
executed before the American consul at
Algiers, where the contractor was then
stopping. 1t is this will which the rela-
tives of Mr.. Carney, who are not remem-
bered in it, are trying to attack.
Richard Carney of Biddeford, Me-, and
Henry A. Garvey of Indianapolis, the
uncles, seem to have interested them.
selves the most. There are several other
Garveys who are cousins. The Owen
family, cousins, who live in this city,
are not satisfied with the 1910 year left
to them under the will.
The suit is brought in the Supreme
court against the widow, Helene Blanche
Garvey and various other Garveys, chill.

Luetgert's Defence Rather Thin.

Chicago, September 20.-The closing
direct evidence of the prosecution in the
Luetgert case will be submitted tomor-
NOV, If Judge Tuthill rules out the
evidence. Of Frank Bialk and Frank
Odorofski as to the motive of the alleged
murder, State Attorney Deneen will call
Mrs. johnson Miller to the stand to tell
of the threats she heard and pursuit of
Mrs. Luetgert she once witnessed by the
man on trial who was, Mrs. Miller will
say, armed with a revolver.
DR.. Rudolph Oppenheim of West Ham
mond, Ills, is to be called as an expert
witness by the defense. He has expressed
the opinion that the bones exhibited by
the prosecution were procured and placed
in the vat by er emies of Luetgert for
the purpose OF convicting him. 1t was
also stated today that an effort will be
made to prove an alibi for Luetgert.
More Money Wanted to Convict Luetgert.
Chicago, Sept. 2O.-State Attorney De-
neen today asked the county board to
appropriate $4,000 to help him carry on
the Luetgerr murder case.
Expert witnesses, Mr.. Deneen finds,
will not work for love or glory, and be-
sides, he claims. there are several per-
sons he desires to bring here from New
York to testify for the state.

MAY BE A MURDER.
A Rock Fight Between Lewiston Hood
lums May Have Fatal Ending

Lewiston, September 20.-A murder is
the probableEresult of a hotly fought bat
tie between 90 or 80 young boys on the
Cedar street field on Sunday afternoon.
How the fuss commenced is not known.
but at O'Clock it was exceedingly noisy
and the battle was by no means funny.
One lad had gone home with broken
arm and another had gone over the bank
into the railroad and was carried off the
field screaming with pain, his knee pan
cracked.
The fuss was over what is known as
the ttdead line" between the boys OF
Canadian descent living on the Island,
and the lads of Irish extraction living
on Gas House Patch and vicinity. When
French boy is seen on the Irish side the
slogan is sounded and the green flag,
metaphorically speaking. floats on the
breeze. The lilies of France respond, and
a row ends in many broken heads.
Sunday afternoon q crowd stood about
Cedar street and watched the fight. The
participants yelled like savages and the
noise was hideous. Rocks from the size
of an egg to the size of man 's.head were
hurled back and forth. There were rush
es, retreats and pitched battles far more
terrible than a Princeton foot ball
down"
At O'Clock the young warriors massed
on the top of the hill overlooking the
stone quarry of Bearce & Clifford, where
knock-down and drag-out fight ensued
Parents of the boys, business men and
men of affairs stood at a distance laugh
ing and even encouraging them.
Young Edmund St. Pierre had lust
dealt a young warrior stunning blow
behind the ear when some of the fallen
chiefs friends gave him push behind
and sent him reeling over the edge of
the cliff, 80 feet to the ragged rocks be-
low. He struck OH his head on the bare
ledge and lay there unconscious in a
pitiful little heap, while the Infatuated
boys above pelted his unconscious body
with rocks.
At last, seeing that he did not move,
several men went over from Cedar street
and in scared manner stopped the fight
and carried the bleeding boy to the office
of physician where he regained con.
seriousness, though some of the men who
carried him to the doctors felt of the tor
of his head on the way and say that the
bones grated under their fingers. At I
o'clock the little fellow was carried to his
home on the Island and all night long
was IN a semi unconscious condition
The doctor could not tell Monday wheth.
er the boy would live. He appeared to be
in state of shock
1t cannot be ascertained who pushed
him, and if he dies all the boys in the
fight will probably be arrested.
