gress providing for national eighthour
law and the bills providing for greater
protection of seamen and restricting the
brutality of captains the forbidding of
prison labor competing with free labor,
and the adjustment of government by in

THAT DE LONE LETTER AGAIN
No Direct Disclaimer Has Been ms
Yet Made by Spain.

New York. Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The De LONE incident is still unsettled.
The cipher dispatch received from Min
lister Woodford was not entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t was taken to the president by
Assistant Secretary Day and after a short
conference between them Mr.. Day sent
another cablegram to Minister Woodford.
Officially nothing will be said about
these two communications further than
that the incident is not yet entirely closed.
1t is said that Minister Woodford's cable
was report of his interview with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs. which
showed that no direct disclaimer had been
made by Spain of that feature of the De
LONE letter which has been interpreted to
indicate the insincerity of the Spanish
government in the matter of autonomy
and in the negotiations for commercial
treaty
Absence of such disclaimer is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the president. Mr..
Mckinley believes that when the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs fully appreci-
ates the Interpretation which has been
put upon De Lomes letter in some quar-
tiers in the United States, he will hasten
to disavow it. Minister Woodford has
been told in positive way what the presi-
dent would like to have done. In other
words, it is said he will use delicate diplo-
macy to secure the end desired, and the
president is sincere in the belief that an
other interview between Minister Wood
ford and the minister for foreign affairs
in Madrid will end the whole trouble.
As far as that feature of the De LONE
letter criticising the president is con
celned, the incident is closed.

SEALING SEASON A FAILURE
British and American Captains Are
Much Discouraged.

San Francisco, Feb. l6.--The sealing
fleet this season is small and the outlook
is not encouraging. Captain OLeary of
the schooner Geneva reports that seals are
very scarce and wild and the weather
very unsuitable for sailing. Captain A..
Nelson of the schooner Mary Taylor lost
seven of his men by desertion and had to
put into port for repairs. He also says
that few seals are to be found and pre-
diets a light catch. 1t is stated that the
Cox & Marvin sealing fleet of Victoria, b.
c., will not be put in commission this year,
although sailors and hunters have been
engaged. 1t is not known whether the
precautions taken by the United States
to prevent poaching have had anything to
do with the retirement of this feet of
British sealers.

of the state is that the deposit was in the

that such funds can be deposited only on
special deposit. The bank knew that the
money belonged to the state, and it is
held that it was the nature of the case
a special deposit that could not be alb

GAME WELLiPRoTECTED.
Chairman Carleton Says There Is very
Little Crust Hunt ing.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Augusta, March 9.-In one Of the state
very sensational character to the effect
that in the central part of Penobscot
county and in the southern part
of Aroostook a big slaughter OF large
game was going on. 1t was stated that
the large game was being killed by SCORES
and that whole herds of deer were driv-
en- into villages by hunters and dogs.
This afternoon the PRESS correspondent
asked Chairman Carleton, chairman of
the inland fish and game commission if
the report in this article was true or
false. Mr.. Carleton said: "I wish to
say that there is very slight foundation,
if any at all, for the statements con-
tained in that article. 1 have received
this week SO far 13l letters from every
section of. the state, and by far the great
er number of them from guides. From
this large nu mber I select sample
which is fairly = representative of them

man of ability and character and an
observing and respected citizen. He
lives in a town near Kingman from
which place the alleged information
about the great slaughter of game came.

MIR. L. T. Carleton, Augusta, Me-:
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 2d duly re-
ceived and contents noted. In regard to
our big game, THAT needs the protection
of everyone who is Interested In the
affair, and it should interest every man
in this state whether he is a hunter or
can truly say that the majority of
hunters and guides in this town are be-
ginning to understand the fact, and where
ten deer were slaughtered on the crust or
deep SHOWS few years ago, very few
are Rkilled snow-infact, l do not know
of a single deer that has been killed this
winter in close time by any man in this
town. Five years ago there were, l
| should say, 80 deer killed in close time by
men that would not be hired to do such
a thing now. am acquainted with
every man for miles around here and
know that there is as little poachirg
done in this town as any town you can
find that has as many hunters as we
have, and 1 for one will do all can to
help protect our game at all times, both
in open season and close time. The crust
is strong now since we had the big hail
storm, and it will hold man to walk
through on snow shoes, In fact, it will
almost hold team of horses where the
growth is open, SO the deer are pretty
safe until we have some warm weather.
1 was talking with one of our guides
last night. and he said that II we could
have the privilege of using dogs in Oc-
tober that he would be willing to help
stop killing in close time. but as it is
now he should not trouble himself much
about protection, but this is only one
man out of many that is of that dispo-
sition.
Very truly yours,

him since January II in regard to settling
the strike. The President then addressed
the meeting and said that he had seen the
agent within two weeks and had talk
with him in regard to settling the strike.
Mr.. Conwell stated that he was present
that Mr.. Bean would like to have the
matter settled. Mr.. Conwell was re-

meeting and a vote was taken not to re-

wages. The committee Informed Mr..
Conwell that it was willing to meet MIR.
Bean at any time he should send for it,
but that the committee would not seek
