THANKS VOTED
 TO THE CALL.
The New Charter Club Acknowledges the Aid Given For Better Gov
ernnlent

SAN JOSE, Feb. 17.-At the regular meeting of the New Charter Club to- night thanks were voted to The Call for it's valuable aid in bringing to the attention of the people of San Jose the corruption that exists in public offices and the crying need of change in municipal administration; and for it's support of the present movement for good government inaugurated by the New Charter Club.
 On the strength of the warmed-over matter which 1t rehashed from The Call and published this morning, the Examiner was also thanked for. it's pre- stunned good intentions toward the good government movement.
 Of course had the members of the club known that the Examiners corre- spondent had been instructed to write his matter so as to avoid offending anybody they would not have been so ready to express their gratitude to the $50, ,000 organ of c. P. Huntington and the Southern Pacific. Those who know the Examiner and it's methods view this delicacy about offending any body as necessary precaution pre- liminary to ascertaining on which side of the fight the most Tong green" can be secured.
 No business of importance was trans acted at the meeting other than receiv- ing the reports of committees, all of which reported favorable progress in their respective work.
 All the members of the club were urged to be present at the next meet ing, to be held on Thursday. February 24. At this meeting the report of the nominating committee will be received and the final selection made of the ticket to be put out by the New Char ter Club. The following self-explana- tory communication was sent to the nominating committee of the club this evening:
 To Judge J. R. Lewis, Chairman of the ter Club, and Gentlemen of the commit tee: My name has been mentioned as a candidate for the Mayoralty of this city and recommended among others to the nominating committee of the New Char ter Club by a committee representing sev- eral kindred organizations. To these gen. tIemen and associations who have accord ed me this evidence of esteem and confi- not however, nor shall I be a candidate for any office. My effort in behalf of clean, respectable government Is not for the reward of office. and 1 respectfully request that my name be withdrawn from any further consideration by this club or the citizens of this municipality. Very
 C. M WOOSTER.
 The withdrawal of MT. Wooster still leaves three candidates in the field, any one of whom would prove acceptable to the better element These are J. P Jarman. s. E. Smith and A. K Whit ton.
 One of /the severest blows at the gang, and one which has created con- sternation in their ranks, was the an- nouncement published in The Call this morning that Frank Stock would not be candidate under any circumstan- ces.

The Lumber Cut.
A Waterville correspondent of Port
land paper writes:

A Waterville correspondent of Port
land paper writes:
From evidences at hand it is expected
that the present season will be one of the
most auspicious the lumbermen of Maine
have had in several years and the cut
upon the waters of the Kennebec will
exceed that Of 1897 by some 24,000,000.
Nearly all of the operators of last year
have crews in full swing.
On Moose river, MOosehead lake, East
branch and Main Kennebec and Dead
rivers, the total cut, it Is estimated,
will be about 1875 100000 and the con-
sumers will be the Berlin Mill Company

The Treaty Signed.

The treaty OF peace between the
United States and Spain was signed h'
the high contracting parties, at 10
saturday evening, the 10 h instant. The
commissioners had been in session all
the afternoon. The treaty which was
not completed, was brought in sec ions
from the hands of the engrossers while
the commission WAS sitting. After be-
ing photographed the commissioners
listent to the reading of the treaty
until after the arrival of the last sec
tions.
Although the commissioners met at
$50 O'clock, expecting to finish their
work in half an hour, the engrossng Of
the treaty on parchment could not be ac-
complished until nearly 8 o'clock. The
reading of the treaty finished, two
copies were passed around the table,
the commissioners signing them in the
order Of their rank-Judge William X.
Day, Senator Cushman X. Davis, Sen
ator William p. Frye, Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid and Senator George Gray, Senor
Garuica, Senior Vallarutia and Gen.
Cerero Saens-each commissioners
signing its opponents treaty. Both
were tied with the Spanish ard Ameri-
can colors.
The last seal being impressed the com
missioners rose and without formally
each member shook the hands Of all his
antagonists and exchanged assurances OF
sincere personal esteem. The Spaniards
afterwards commented acridly upon
what they termed the bad taste of the
Americans In mastering a crowd of at
taches to gloat over the consummation
of their downfall and to scramble for
relics.

B. 5. Mathews, the custodian of the
public library of Pittstield, bas lately
and is now having the work of cata-
loguing them done. Mr.. Mathews has
given the matter of selection of these
books good deal of attention, and
every one of them has been chosen by
him personally. About 175 volumes
have already been added to the library,
and when the balance of the appropria-
ton by the town and the amount con-
tributed by the State has been expend-
ed, the number of new books will reach
nearly 200. There will then be In the
library total of about 1000 volumes.
The city of Augusta has sent the town
of Fairfield bill for 5000 for care of
one George PIeble who, it will be re-
called, fell from chimney in that city,
last July and thereby fractured his
thigh. He was taken to the city hospi
tai and physician set the fractured
bone, but it didn't heal and he was
taken to the general hospital at Port
land, to have the thigh freated,s being
there at the present time. The town of
Fairfield contend that the bill is exor-
bitant but offered to settle for $400,
rather than go into litigation. Augusta
refused this overture and is to sue the
bill. Now Preble backed by the town
of Fairfield plans to sue the Augusta
physician for sum which will more
than offset the bill, upon the allegation
of improper treatment; and there is
likely to be quite snap before the
thing is Strengthened out.

condensed and comprehensive reports Of
a corps of special reporters engaged IN
keeping a close watch upon committee
proceedings and general matters Of leg
islation. Along with its magnificent
legislative reports, the Journal will
carry the full service of the Associated
Press. Never In the history of this
country have more important or far
reaching problems pressed upon Con-
gress than will come before 1t during
the present session.
The Kennebec Journal will have, In
addition to the Associated Press reports
from the National Capitol, a valuable
special news service from one of the
leading newspaper workers Of Wash
ingtOn.
With all these advantages to offer for
the winter, when the evenings are long
and people have more time for reading
than during any other portion of the
year, the Journal makes the following
extraordinarily low offer: The Daily
Kennebec Journal will be sent to any
address, until the close of the legislative
session, for $l.25; the Weekly Kennebec
Journal will be sent to any address,
until the close of the legislative session
for 80 cents. Can you afford to lose this

ter, check or In postage stamps, II more
convenient, to Burleigh & Flynt, Pub
