euloaistic, way, and it will be noticed
that for the first time since the charges
were filed the Judge himself has broken
silence.
Col. Clark s. Edwards, who Is one OF
the best known citizens of this town .and
who has wide reputation as the colonel
Of the famous Fifth Maine Regiment,
also remembered as Democratic candidate
for governor in 1855, makes the following
statement in regard to the Foster affair:
In politics, Mr.. Edwards is opposed to
Judge Foster, but believes that the re-
appointment of justice of the Supreme
court is one in which politics may be
dropped. Mr.. Edwards said:
"When I was in Portlsnd few days
ago I found all with whom I conversed
interested in Judge Fosters re appoint
ment. The first questions which every
one asked me were: "What do Judge
Fosters neighbers at Bethel who should
know him best, thing about him? How
do they stand relative to the attacks
which have been made upon his charac-
ter?" These questions set me to thinking.
The result was, prepared petition
headed as follows:
SO TO Llewellyn Powers, Governor OF
Maine:
I" sThe undersigned, citizens of the vii
lace and town Of Bethel, neighbors OF
Judge Foster and we'll acquainted with
him for years, unsolicited by him or any
body in his behalf, most emphatically ex-
nress our discountenarce of the attack
which has been made upon his character
and respectfully ask for his reappotnt'
ment as justice of the Supreme court
"You see this is much more than q
mere petition for his re-appointment. As
soon as the citizens heard such a paper
was about to be circulated by me they
came to my house unsolicited and signed
1t.
1T scarcely asked anyone to aff1x thei1
SIGNATURES to this petition. All were
practically volunteers. OF the 217 voters
in the Bethel village corporation, 1877 hav;
signed this petition discountenancine
the attack upon Judge Fosters character
Eleven are absent from the town anG
10 have not signed. This shows in a re-
markable degree what Judge Foster
neighbors think of him. OF the 1877 signeri
11S are Republicans and SO Democrats
showing that politics have not enteree
into the canvass. The leading churches
of the village are the Methodist, Univer
salist and Congregationalist; of the Me
thodist society 62 have signed; Universe
lists, Al, of the Congregationalists, 81
One of these signers, II. D. Grover,
member of the church, which is said to
have dropped Judge Foster, was very ILL

Barnes made his first confession last Sat

Walker of the Cambridge jail
The captain and chaplain guarded the
secret zealously. Barnes became restless
and asked them to send for his sister,
Mrs Cooke Of Marlboro. She visited him
at the Jail in Cambridge Wednesday and
there Barnes repeated the confession he
had made to the captain and chaplain.

Queen. 1.-The Queen brought the latest
news, having left Skaguay last Sunday
Ths most important news was confir
nation of reports that Canadian officer
has raised the British flag on what is re-
garded as American soil and of trouble
at Skaguay with longshoremen who OBJ
ieoted to Indians unloading freight from
steamers.
The presence of United States troops
alone win prevent trouble. 1t is feared
that serious trouble will grow out OF the
Canadians attelnrt to collect duty on.the
summit of the White pass and Chilkoot
pass, and the Americans will resist the
payment on wbatsthey consider American
ground. Another complication will re-
suit from the various tramways which are

ENGLISH COUNTRY ELECTIONS.

London, March 3.-The country cleo
tions have passed off with no incident.
The attempt Of the Earle of Dehbig to
oust John Burns in Battlesea failed. Earl

feated at Hammersmith. Among THESE
reelected are the Earl of Hardwlcke,
Baron Monkswell, Sir Horace Farquhar,
NJ. P, the Right Hon. G: J; shaw,Le-

gressive~ have elected sixty y-seven OF thelr
candidates and the moderates forty. "a
recount will be necessary in Chelsea, ana
the results in the city proper Fulham ana
Wandworth will not be declared until TO-
morrow. Tins far the progresssyes snow
a net gain Of thirteen seats.
The moderates have only gained TWO
seats In central Finsburg and this was
owing to split in the progressive RANKS.

Kew West. March 3.-The schooner
Speedwell, Capt. Collier, from Marco
Fla. flor Key West was struck by a
So uan today while off Marquesas, 10
miles from here and capsized.
Nine persons were drowned, out OF IL
all told on board. Among the victims
were the three children Of Capt. Collier.
George. Tom and Wilbur, aged respec-
lively four. six and eight, and the entire
Nicholas family, Mr.. Bradley Nicholas
and his wife, their son and the. latter S
wife and two grand children. The fami-
ly was from Bridgeport, Conn.
Those saved are Capt. Collier, Samuel
Gates and Jesse Green, deck hands, and
r. W. Bates of Myers. Fla, q passenger.
The Nicholas family had besn staying
for month OF two at small hotel kept
by Capt. Collier at Marco and they were
on their way home.
The survivors say that the Speedwell,
which was a small vessel OF about "a
tons, was making slow headway this
morning against headwind. About
O'Clock Capt. Collier was at the wheel
and the Nicholas family and the Collier
children were in the cabin asleep. Sud
denly squall came bowling up abeam.
Gates and Green rushed to take In sail
AS the jib tapped loose the squal
caught the schooner and blew her clear
over on the port side. Collier, the dech
hands and Mr.. Bates were swept into tht
sea. but caught the rigging just in time
| to save themselves. The wind, rain and
surges drowned the dying cries OF the
| imprisoned Nicholas fnmlly ana tne Col
| lier children.
The men lashed themselves to the rig
ging. After being there for two hours
the sea subsided. Then they got th'
dinay loose, baled her out with hat
broke a thwart in two pieces and with
these for oars rowed toward Marquesas
After going three miles they were picket
up exhausted by fishing sloop ane
brought here about O'Clock this morn
| ing.
Samuel Gates, one of the survivors, who
was seen at his home here this evening
"Capt. Collier has been sailing for q
years ii these waters. He is not to blame
for this awful thing. The squall came
up like nothing have ever seen around
Key West. Before we knew it we were
as for those poor people down below
they were penned in like rats. The wife
of the younger Nicholas, as pretty I
woman as ever stepped board ship. ROSE
to the skylight. 1 was hanging TO th'
rigging. She waved her hand and tina

hours later and they were all dead.

about such things that it would not be a
the Maine from the shores of the harbor.
The success of the attempt to place d
mock torpedo against the British man-of-
war in New York harbor few years ago.
and the recent careful preparation of Our
own government to protect the Spanish
cruiser Vizcaaya in the same harbor. in
dicate that such use of torpedoes is not
difficult
Perhaps the very emphatic statement
emanating from the Secretary Of the
Navy to the effect that the Spanish gov
ernment did not blow up the Maine is
intended to prepare the public mind to
make the distinction between an act OF
lawlessness by people in Havana, and an
act by the Blanoo administration. Ii
Blanoo did 1t nothing but war seems pos
sible. But if lawless Spaniards in Ha'
vana did it, the affair may be settled by
the proper apologies and reparation by
the Spanish government. For in view
of the recent practice of this government,
when foreigners have been injured by
American citizens. there can be no doubt
that Spain could satisfy us only by ample
satisfaction and reparation.
This would avert war provided the
Spanish government should be able to DO
what it would wish to do. But it would
be hard for it to raise an indemnity. and
also hard to keep its own people in order
during the negotiations. In this weak
ness Lies, in the view of many the chief
difficulties of the situation, II the inquiry
at Havana and Key West shall demon
strate that the explosion probably did not
result from an accident A. G. II.
